It's our last episode before election day (gahhhh!) and we're concluding with our third and final deep dive on Biden/Harris policy proposals for tackling the pandemic and healthcare more broadly. We also take a moment to discuss Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation last night. Dark times.
Our next episode will be released Wednesday evening, because election night will be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
This episode was a longer deep dive, so there are no we see yous this week.
Below are some resources for voting, volunteer opportunities, and sending pizza to people waiting in hours long lines! Less than a week left, make some calls, make some donations. Final push!

We discuss the case for Biden/Harris through the lens of civil rights. It's a huge topic, and we take a broad look at racial justice and policing, LGBTQIA rights, and women's health and reproductive rights. We look at what Trump has done (and failed to do) in these areas, and take a closer look at Biden/Harris policy proposals.
This episode was a longer deep dive, so there are no we see yous this week.

We discuss Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. We review her extremely conservative judicial record and discuss what role her faith plays in an appropriate and rigorous examination of her candidacy. We also take a few minutes at the beginning of the episode to dig into the revelations from Trump's tax returns.
We see you: Governor Mike Parson, Trump's 2016 deterrence strategy aimed at black voters, Trump administration interference in Tongass National Forest, voter access issues happening now, failure to indict officers in Breonna Taylor's death, Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf

We discuss some of the ways in which Trump definitely doesn't care about the military or hold any strong faith-based beliefs. He's a fraud, and those who claim to care about the military or vote based on their faith know that, and should just own up to wanting to vote for an authoritarian protecting white evangelical supremacy while the world burns. WWJD?

We begin by mourning the loss of Chadwick Boseman, and then take some time to discuss the last week of events in Kenosha and Portland. We focus a longer conversation on the real harm of pick up artists (PUAs) and involuntary celibates (incels), and the toxicity of the broader "manosphere," since male supremacist groups are often a gateway to further radicalization. Many men move from male supremacist to white supremacist, and the threats from these large and growing hate groups are generally minimized if not ignored by most government agencies.
We see you: Scott Atlas, Wisconsin legislature, Office of Director of National Intelligence, Mitch McConnell, Republicans doctoring videos, white men who ignore cops and aren't shot
