Welcome to Democracy-ish. I'm Danielle Moody.

And I'm Mujad Ali who just escaped 1864. And Danielle, I just came here thanks to a Delorean.

And let me tell you, things weren't good then.

You know, it's weird because according to Republicans and the judges in Arizona, it was a great time.

So I'm confused, Wash.

What did you see in 1864?

Well, slave owners mistook me for a black man and they didn't care so they were shooting

at me.

So I had to practice my running skills.

I got some good cardio.

And then I tried to get some help from folks of color.

But they, they unfortunately were being whipped and they were toiling and working.

And there were very few South Asians.

In fact, I don't think there were any South Asian,

and the women were all inside the home,

so I couldn't get their help.

So pretty much, it was just me by myself,

and then I found a DeLorean,

and I did a Hail Mary Prayer, and I came back.

I did see some women in the alleyways

forcing themselves to abort their babies.

Hello?
