In the absence of executive leadership, and with the abandonment of of legislative leadership, the judicial branch has gone from democracy’s last line of defense to it’s first. In fact, there are lawyers and activists working day and night to hold off the worst instincts of presidency. As Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman says, “The most powerful tool the Trump administration has is to convince us we have no power, but it’s not true. There are people fighting everyday, not just to hold off the worst decisions, but to continue to move us forward towards something better.” Our country’s under attack and our media isn’t even talking about it.

The future might be filled with bad news, but as guest John Pavlovitz says, it will be less traumatizing if we stay connected to our source - whether that’s our faith, our family, our friends, or our morality. We can’t, as John says, “sacrifice ourselves on the altar of our empathy.” The reasons we’re feeling disheartened are valid. Our feelings are a reminder that we’re good humans, and the world needs good humans. We just need to be sure we care for ourselves as we care for others. If not, we’ll burn out be no help to anyone.

Ask yourself: What is real right now, and what can we do about it? That while Trump and his henchmen can do vast amounts of damage to our institutions, our way of life, and our rule of law - damage we must be on guard for and fight against - as we work to restore American democracy one of the most important things to acknowledge is that it’s always been flawed. That we have always favored the select few over the many and that, in itself, must change. That this new kleptocratic, oligarchic government will only highlight what has always been true, that this country was created to favor an American aristocracy, but with good leadership and proper messaging, we can wrestle the power back with the majority of the nation behind us. There is no doubt the monsters will overreach, we simply must make be sure their hubris is their downfall.

I still can’t exactly explain what happened with the 2024 election, but it does appear as if Trump and his dangerous, extremist allies have won. I’m a big believer in our institutions, but I also spent the past week trying to figure out how they could have all failed us so badly. I understand the sentiment to want to disengage. To find someone to blame. To point fingers and to close the door on working with anyone who isn’t in your immediate group, because you feel as if they’re the only people you can trust. But this idea that organization and community and goodness can’t stand up to any of this is fundamentally untrue. In many ways, America as we knew it might be over, but the ideas of democracy, human rights, civil rights, and knowing right from wrong, are not over, and if we want any sort of future, we can’t lay down now. That is exactly what these wanna-be authoritarians want us to do. And as far as I’m concerned, they don’t get anything they want.

Be sure to check out all episodes wherever you get your pods! xo- PG ---- This episode tells the fictional story of a middle school that opens its doors to unvaccinated students after a possible second -term President Trump eliminates Federal funding for schools with vaccine mandates. The story follows the school nurse, Stephanie Morris, as she navigates the influx of unvaccinated students and the resulting disease outbreaks that spread rapidly through the school and community. The narrative illustrates the real-world implications of the president's policy, with outbreaks of diseases like measles, whooping cough, and the flu causing hospitalizations and even deaths among vulnerable students and staff. The story highlights the challenges faced by the school nurse in trying to protect the health of all students, including her own daughter who has an autoimmune condition, without the backing of mandatory vaccination policies. Overall, the episode demonstrates how Donald Trump’s promise to defund schools with vaccine mandates could have devastating consequences for children's health and safety. We'd like to thank all the artists who volunteered their time to make this episode: Laurie Burke, Leigh McGowan who read the chapters & Audrey Hakes , Joe Walsh, & others who contributed character voices. Sound design by Marilys Ernst and Jonathan Moser.

There is a reason they’re not campaigning or trying to get out the vote. There’s a reason Trump is telling people he “doesn’t need votes”. It’s because their plan isn’t to win the election, it’s to subvert, suppress and refuse to certify the election if they don’t win. According to Elias, Trump’s ultimate goal is to be sworn in, and there is no line he won’t cross to reach that goal.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHappy Labor Day!!! Department of Labor’s Acting Secretary Julie Su reminds us that the Biden Administration has been focused on building what they call the “high road to the American dream”. That looking out for the American worker is not just about having enough work, it’s about those workers being paid properly, treated with respect, and at the end of the day, giving our citizens what President Biden calls “a little breathing room” to live our lives. How do we “pursue happiness” without that? On this Labor Day we dig into the Department of Labor and all the programs and agencies ready and willing to help the American people that most of us don’t even know about, and the importance of having a government that not only respects our workers but will fight for them.

That humanity, no matter what we’ve been taught, is actually cooperative and benevolent, it’s how we got so far as a species. So we can’t get so caught in the news of today, that we lose our historical imaginations for tomorrow.

1 Compete in EVERY Race: Two Under-the-Radar WINNABLE Senate races Florida & North Dakota 52:48
52:48 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked52:48
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedTo keep democracy’s head above water in 2024 the Democrats need what’s called a trifecta - meaning the Presidency, the House and the Senate - and keeping the senate is going to be a tough slog because Democrats have what’s called a “bad map”. So today, instead of talking about the must win swing races we hear about all the time, we’re going to discuss two Senate races that almost no-one is paying attention to. Two Senate races practically no-one is investing in, because it’s assumed they’ve already been won by Republicans when the truth is they haven’t. American Democrats often function in this weird defeatist culture where we keep fighting over the same 6 states and seeding other states to Republicans with the assumption they’re lost and no Democrat can ever win there. It’s not fair to the people who have different opinions in those states. It’s not fair to the people who lose their rights thanks to Republican policies, and it’s not democratic. People should have a candidate to vote for, and that candidate should have the opportunity to win. So today’s episode includes two women, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (or DMP) from Florida and Katrina Christiansen from North Dakota. We’re going to hear their stories and remind ourselves that no state should be written off. That everybody deserves a chance to be represented in America and with so much on the line, we need to support every Democrat running. The party might not be focusing on these two races, but We the People, should be. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

It’s difficult and it requires grown-ups who have a sense of history and the ability to weigh different and competing ideas at the same time.” As David so aptly points out, our tendency to be tribal has turned these conflicts on college campuses into a Rorschach test where we often end up seeing what we want to see. As Robert Reich said, “There should be nothing inherently anti-Semitic about condemning the ongoing destruction in Gaza”. And yet…that is not how it’s always playing out. So let’s talk about it.

Do we believe our most fundamental and personal decisions belong to the government, or do we believe they belong to us? At the end of the day, it all comes back to democracy, and if our voices are heard and respected, or we’re controlled and silenced. We, as a country, have to fight for our right to control our own lives while we still can, and we have to vote in numbers that leave no question as to what kind of country the majority of us want to live in.

Who is all this growth for, and what is it worth, if it really only benefits a tiny silver of our population. What if there was a Goldilocks version of the economy? Where it wasn’t communism, and it wasn’t winner take all capitalism, but something in between that benefits all of us and works within the limits of our planet?

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.

Governments around the world are shifting to the far right and supporting each other as they do it. So, whether it’s Putin, Netanyahu, Hamas or Trump, they’re all looking out for number one, and we need to be supporting alternatives who want everyone to succeed, not simply the select few. At the end of the day we need to hold two ideas in our heads at once. Palestinian people deserve a state of their own, without Israeli occupation, and Israel deserves to exist in safety and security in the midst of a hostile region.

To give us a sense of the stakes, I’m joined by journalist Ahmed Baba who recently did an amazing article for the Independent about the the “conservative promise” of Project 2025. Project 2025 is a roadmap to fundamentally reshape the federal government into the image of the far right once a Republican president takes office. We keep talking about the horse race between two people when we should be talking about the choice between two Americas. The consequences for the rule of law, democracy, and justice are all on the line. So as we sit at the top 2024 and I want you to know what will happen if we elect anyone who will implement Project 2025. To be clear, so far that’s every single Republican candidate.

As John says, “It’s not politics or religion that divides us, it’s vision.” What we see as the future and purpose of our country and our collective faiths. We’re in a vision divide America, and we have to ask ourselves if it’s better to live in a conditional community where you silence yourself to avoid being ostracized, or if it’s better to live authentically and seek a new tribe who want to work for the betterment of all? Isn’t that the true reason for the season? I highly recommend this conversation because John is one of those people who reminds you there’s still good in the world. At a time when cruelty has become popular, leading with love is brave. Talking to John inspires the kind of courage we’re going to need to come together and fix what’s broken.

As Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandeis said, “America has a choice. We can either have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we can have democracy, but we can’t have both.” There’s a shift happening in the American consciousness right now. Where the idea we all bought into, that idea that if we just work hard enough we’ll make it, is starting to feel like a bit of a scam. This concept of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is beginning to look like a cruel joke and the conceit that the struggles so many Americans face just to make ends meet is somehow a result of our own actions or shortcomings, rather than acknowledging we’re actually living in an oppressive system rigged against us is really starting to chafe.

We are in a disinformation war in America where the goal of those creating the lies is not just to get us to question some particular fact - vaccines don’t work, covid isn’t real, the election was stolen - but to question your trust in people who might tell you the truth. As Lee says, “Don’t just lie - Polarize.” The right has done this incredibly well by exploiting preexisting grievances and resentments to form a community around the “us against them” narrative where the other side isn’t just biased, they’re evil.

1 The Ageless Agenda: A Conversation with Congressman Maxwell Frost 47:27

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe majority of youth in America are not on board for the new extremist Republican agenda. They believe in reproductive rights, and that the climate is in crisis. They’re against book banning and propaganda education. They’re majority pro-LGBTQ, pro-union, pro-health care, pro-living wage and pro-common sense gun legislation, and the Republican party offer them none of that. GenZ might technically still be new to politics, with the oldest member of the generation turning 26 this year, but they know who they are and what they want. Our youth is also looking around at everything from our legislation to our politicians and not seeing themselves reflected, and that hurts with turnout and engagement. Which is why our guest today is so important. Maxwell Frost is not only the first member of GenZ to be elected to Congress, he’s been elected to represent Florida. So as he looks to, and represents the future of our government and country, he hails from a state that’s currently working overtime to take us to the pas t.

In honor of Labor Day we’re going to talk about the importance of the American worker, but more specifically about the importance of union work. American workers have clearly had enough. The majority of us know we can’t carry on like this. That the wealth inequality and the growing chasm between workers and owners is leading this country down a dark path. At their peak, 40% of American workers were part of a union, now that number is under 7%, and look what’s happened - the rich got richer while the poor got poorer and the middle class has all but disappeared. People can’t afford homes, food or health care, and the majority of us have to take a side hustle or gig work on top of our regular jobs just to make ends meet. It’s unsustainable, and the workers of America are beginning to stand in solidarity against it. To talk about the importance of union voices in the fight for our future we are joined by AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler whose federation includes 60 unions and 12.5 million working people across all sectors of the U.S. economy as she gives us a hopeful path to a better future.

And before you think yeah, I don’t live in Virginia, I’ll think I’ll skip it, I want you to think about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race in April, or the Ohio special election this August. Most of us don’t live in those states, but our attention on those elections, and their successful results, put the Republicans and their increasingly extremist agenda, on notice. So today we’re going to talk to two Virginia candidates: Senate Candidate, and current House Delegate, Danica Roem, and social media star and now House Delegate Jessica Anderson. Virginia is THE most important race in the country right now. The next big election to WIN.

The documents case in Florida is terrible, the potential RICO case in Georgia is awful, but this case, the one in DC, the one where a sitting President of the United States plotted, contrived, lied and broke the law to stay in power against the will of the voter is what it’ll comes down to.

The vast majority who work in Hollywood are not superstars. This strike is primarily working people standing up for the rights of working people and the superstars standing in solidarity. Actors and writers are the front line in two battles: The rise of AI and how humanity fits into a world with artificial intelligence, and class warfare, who gets to succeed in our society. The deals these unions get, the agreements these corporations make will ultimately affect every single industry and almost every single American.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedRepublicans spin a good yarn, but data doesn’t lie, and since globalization began the contrast between Republican and Democratic performance on the economy has been incredibly stark. Look no further than Bidenomics vs. Reaganomics. While the Democrats continue to evolve to attempt to create an economy that works for all of us, Republicans keep doubling down on policies that only serve the rich. There’s no reason Democrats should continue to lose the conversation around the economy when study after study shows that Democratic leadership equals growth, lower deficits, and the ability to adapt to a changing market, while Republican leadership equals recessions, higher deficits, and continued American decline. With that in mind, today we talk about the success of Bidenomics with White House Communications Director, Ben LaBolt. You want to understand where we really are with politics & the economy?

1 Weaponized Nostalgia A PG:CC with Thomas Zimmer 1:03:18
1:03:18 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked1:03:18
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWe know the conservative movement wants to return us to “a better time”, what they see as the “natural order”, with the white, straight Christian man on top, but even those who see themselves as liberal or centrist can struggle with the idea of changing the status quo, because it feels like a potential losing proposition for people who have always been at the top. That people who would be outwardly opposed to MAGA still feel uncomfortable with all these calls for equality and respect, especially when it’s perceived to question their judgment, or status in society. Nostalgia is a powerful part of the human condition, and it can easily become the filter through which every political, social, and cultural piece of information is absorbed. So if a political movement offers to bring back what has supposedly been lost, or at least keep us at status quo, it’s hard to resist because it speaks directly to the anxieties people have around the social and cultural change America has been undergoing over the past century.
