Summary

Ah the natural conclusion of the far-right’s takeover of America: obliterating abortion rights! Comedian Erin Lennox joins Francesca to discuss the Samuel Alito’s sniveling leaked opinion arguing for Roe V. Wade to be overturned, the pitiful response from leading Democrats, including campaigning for an anti-choice lawmaker in Texas over a progressive option. Then, socialist Minneapolis city councilmember Robin Wonsley on the role of police in suppressing social movements and progress, and local efforts to defund the police in their current violent iteration, and fund alternative safety units. PLUS: A patreon-only bonus episode about the bizarre and depressing “he said, she said” defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. We’ve got THOUGHTS!
