American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo

    This is How You Fix the Climate: A Conversation with Sage Lenier

    This is How You Fix the Climate: A Conversation with Sage Lenier

    At the end of the day, Sage Lenier, climate activist and one of Time Magazine’s 10 Next Generation Leaders, reminds us that we need to accept what we’re doing on this planet is unsustainable. That we will ultimately need to slow down the systems of production and consider a real economic transformation if we want to survive, but instead of waiting for the federal government to make the change, we can start it ourselves. Our future is dependent on intergenerational collaboration, and the personal will to push through the changes that the billionaires (and a lot of the politicians) won’t want. And it’s not all doom and gloom. We can feel hopeful and empowered as long as we give people the tools they need and the knowledge they may, or may not, want. This young woman is a superstar and absolutely worth your time.

    Trump’s America: AGENDA 47 A conversation with Ahmed Baba

    Trump’s America: AGENDA 47 A conversation with Ahmed Baba

    There is a clear and planned takeover of the American government by people who no longer want to work under a functioning democracy but some form of authoritarian, kleptocratic, theocracy and the Republican Party are on board for all of it. If you don’t know about Project 2025 go back and listen to the top of the year show, but this episode is all about the other half of the plan - something called Agenda 47, which is really Donald Trump’s personal plan. Now that he is the official Republican nominee for President of the United States we need to fully understand exactly what he plans to do. Trump has a dystopian nightmare planned for us and the sooner we understand the gravity of the situation the better prepared we’ll be to truly counter it.

    It Doesn’t Have To Be Like This: A Conversation with Greg Jackson from the White House Office of Gun Prevention

    It Doesn’t Have To Be Like This: A Conversation with Greg Jackson from the White House Office of Gun Prevention

    Sometimes we need to take a break from all the criticism of government to acknowledge the importance of government, especially when they’re doing good things. One of those good things was the recent creation of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention because as we lose people to gun violence in our country every day, as America is put on “no travel” lists because of our gun epidemic, as we witness our suicide rates and accidental deaths by firearms grow exponentially, we clearly can’t continue to do nothing and the Biden Administration has said “Thoughts and prayers are not enough".

    Hit ‘Em Where it Hurts: A Conversation about Winning with Rachel Bitecofer

    America is dealing with an existential threat in the 2024 election. It’s not Republican or Democrat, it’s democracy or autocracy, and we can’t screw it up. Which is why I’m pleased to be joined by political scientist and strategist Rachel Bitecofer to talk about her new book “Hit Em Where it hurts: How to Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game”. This is a powerful conversation about winning when we don’t have the luxury of losing.

    Police: Heroes or Villains? A Conversation with Michael Sierra-Arévalo

    Police: Heroes or Villains? A Conversation with Michael Sierra-Arévalo

    Author, professor and sociologist Michael Sierra-Arévalo talks to us about his detailed look into American policing with his new book The Danger Imperative: Violence, Death and the Soul of Policing. According to Arévalo, the story of policing isn’t the story of a few bad apples, but of an institutional structure and system that is essentially not working. The violence we see from our officers is the logical consequence of an institutional culture that privileges officers' survival over public safety. Policing and violence simply go hand in hand, and according to Michael, who’s seen much of it up close and personal, we’re not going to be able to train ourselves out of the problem. So what do we do?

    Election 2024 Do More. Worry Less: A Conversation Simon Rosenberg

    Election 2024 Do More. Worry Less: A Conversation Simon Rosenberg

    Something magical is happening. As MAGA doubles down on extremism and chaos, they appeal to fewer and fewer Americans. At this point all they have is their mad king, while Democrats, liberals and anyone who believes in the American experiment has the opportunity to really make America into the country we tell people we are. We have to plan to win, organize to fight, and aim, not just for success, but for growth and expansion. We can do this and we should feel very exited about the opportunities ahead of us.

Educator C ,

Have been able to sleep in the last seven days!

Thank you for last week’s pod- Trump's America: AGENDA 47 A conversation with Ahmed Baba!

I think people know a second Trump term would be horrible BUT it wasn’t until I heard the words verbatim, with your explanation of how horrific it would be, that I truly got it! Though overwhelmed, I have a better sense that I need to get the word out but am still not sure how or where to start…

I wonder why only a very small few of my favorite podcasters and news pundits are not laying it down like you have?! If it IS getting said, it’s said with a spoonful of sugar. The way you and Mr. Baba presented it is how we need to hear it; everyday, as a unified front, and with the same urgency!

On another note, we are kidding ourselves if we are missing the connection to all these SCOTUS cases that have either stripped away or all but diminished laws pertaining

to, a woman’s and/or family’s right to choice, race, immigration, prayer, the environment, and trans-gender and gay rights and the 2025, Schedule F, and Agenda 47!

None of this works without BIG money and people behind the scenes pulling Trump’s strings that are undergirding this!

Providing a Different Perspective

I loved the show interviewing Greg Jackson of the White House Gun Violence Prevention Program. Some days every podcast is covering the same thing. But this is information I would not hear anywhere else. It’s important to hear both about the serious problem of gun violence but also hear the research and how that is being translated into effective action. Plus highlighting the actual positive work coming out of the Biden Administration is so important right now. Thank you.

Oh look

Another limousine liberal who think she knows better than the real work. Nice grift lady.
