Hi. Now that Trump is president... again... we're going to look at how he and his party are always focused on problems that aren't really problems (DEI, immigrants, and censorship) instead of problems that are (climate-enhanced wildfires, oligarchy, and actual censorship).

Revisiting Some News: The Whitewashing of Martin Luther King Jr.

Hi. Happy New Year! We're posting an episode on New Year's Day for some reason. But it's not a new episode. It's a replay of our January 2022 Some More News Episode about Martin Luther King Jr. and how conservatives (and many moderates) love to pretend that MLK's entire vision was about that one quote from that one speech that they point to over and over and over. Turns out the guy had more to say! So here's that episode with a new intro from Cody Johnston (and writer/director of this episode Will Gordh).
