Summary

Surprisingly, Lauren and Franchesca Ramsey from MTV's "Impact" actually agree on a few things when it comes to policing — like the fact that not all cops are bad people. But, unlike Lauren, Franchesca doesn't really think that such distinctions are relevant to the national conversation. Also, Lauren discusses Netflix's new children's show, "The Baby-Sitters Club," in which transgenderism is being propagated to children, and the show even features a transgender child.

like 10 minutes each that looks at different issues

0:50.1

relating to progressive politics and social justice. They've covered things like cultural

appropriation, fetishizing POC. I think there was an episode about whitewashing too, that kind of thing.

The series was especially viral during 2016 and it seems like every single
