    The Dictator’s Checklist: Trump’s Not-So-Secret Playbook

    In this raw and unapologetic episode of Tasha Pierce: UnWrapped, Tasha breaks down the terrifying pattern playing out in real time: Donald Trump checking off the dictator to-do list like it’s a damn grocery run. From weaponizing the economy and flouting Supreme Court rulings to building a cult of personality and silencing opposition—this ain't conspiracy, it's the playbook. Tasha connects the dots between Trump's latest trade war theatrics, insider stock market manipulation, and the dismantling of democratic norms—showing how all of it points to a creeping authoritarian takeover. This isn’t just political theater; it’s a real-time civics lesson in what happens when power goes unchecked. With clarity and conviction, Tasha challenges listeners to stop sleepwalking through history. Now’s the time to wake up, speak out, and push back—before the final box on the dictatorship checklist is ticked. 📩 Got thoughts?

    Caving to Trump: Law Firms, Universities, and the Death of Accountability

    In this episode of Unwrapped, Tasha delves into the troubling developments under the second Trump administration, emphasizing the importance of holding those in power accountable. Pierce addresses the unlawful detention of Rumeysa Ozturk for her support of Palestinian human rights, the capitulation of major law firms and universities to Trump's agenda, and the Signal Gate scandal. Despite these challenges, Pierce highlights a Democratic victory in a traditionally Republican congressional seat in Pennsylvania, offering a glimmer of hope. She calls for action, urging listeners to sign a petition to move the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics away from the United States to protect athletes and spectators from potential mistreatment. Pierce also touches on Elon Musk's attempt to buy a federal judge seat and the Vances' pursuit of Greenland, before promising to continue covering these important stories in future episodes.   Key Talking Points: ·       Rumeysa Ozturk's Detention: Unlawful detention of an individual for expressing support for Palestinian human rights, highlighting concerns about freedom of speech and the definition of anti-Semitism.   ·       Institutional Capitulation: Major law firms and universities are giving in to pressure from the Trump administration, raising alarms about the erosion of institutional integrity.   ·       Signal Gate Scandal: Discussion of the Signal Gate scandal and the lack of accountability from high-ranking officials, including calls for resignations.   ·       Democratic Victory in Pennsylvania: A Democratic win in a Republican-heavy congressional district is seen as a positive sign of shifting political sentiment.   ·       Call to Action: Boycott the Olympics: A petition is launched to urge the relocation of the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics to ensure the safety and fair treatment of athletes and spectators.   ·       Other Developments: Brief mentions of Elon Musk's attempt to buy a judgeship and the Vances' pursuit of Greenland.     ✊🏾 Take Action: 📢 Sign the Petition: Change the Venues for the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics Due to US Human Rights Concerns 👉 https://chng.it/KsjQ5CsTjF 📲 Stay Connected: 🎥 Subscribe on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@Tasha_is_UnWrapped 📌 Follow me on Socials: Facebook: facebook.com/TashaisUnWrappedInstagram: instagram.com/tasha_is_unwrappedThreads: threads.net/@tasha_is_unwrappedBlueSky: bsky.app/profile/tashaisunwrapped.bsky.social💰 Support the Show: Join my Patreon for exclusive content and bonus episodes! patreon.com/TashaPierce OR CASHAPP: $quinsmama 📩 Got thoughts?

    Uneducated and Obedient: Why They Want to Control Schools

    "If you wanted to control the future, where would you start? With the minds of the next generation." In this episode of Sinister Silhouettes, we break down the current administration’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education and expose the deeper motives behind it. Is it really about cutting costs and giving power back to the states, or is there something far more sinister at play? We’ll examine the historical playbook authoritarian regimes have used—how the Nazis, Mao’s China, and Pinochet’s Chile manipulated education to control society—and why defunding and restricting public education is one of the first steps toward consolidating power. An uneducated society is an obedient society. And that’s exactly what they want. 🔴 Why would a dictator want to eliminate public education? 🔴 How does history warn us about the dangers of dismantling education? 🔴 What happens when the next generation doesn’t know enough to fight back? Listen now and get the full story before history repeats itself. 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms.

    Trump: Making the Arts Great Again?

    In this episode of UnWrapped, Tasha dives into the latest power grab in the arts: Donald Trump’s unprecedented takeover of the Kennedy Center. From stacking the board with his loyalists to dictating programming and taking shots at Hamilton, Trump is making it clear that his version of the arts won’t include anything he deems “too woke.” We break down the details of his visit, the artists who are pulling out, and the alarming implications of political control over cultural institutions. What does this mean for the future of the Kennedy Center and the arts in general? Join the conversation—email Tasha at snapaftermoviestv@gmail.com or connect via social media (links below).

    From The White Lotus to The White House: Power, Music & Media

    In this episode, we’re unpacking three major stories shaping entertainment, culture, and politics: 🔥 Jason Isaacs Shuts Down Nudity Double Standards – The White Lotus star turned an awkward interview moment into a sharp critique of Hollywood’s gendered obsession with nudity. We break down why this moment matters and how the industry treats male vs. female nudity differently. 🎤 Will Smith Drops His First Album in Nearly 20 Years – Based on a True Story arrives on March 28, marking Smith’s official return to music. We look at his new tracks, longtime collaborators, and what this album means for his legacy. ⚠️ Inching Closer to Dictatorship – How does a democracy fall into authoritarianism? We walk through the step-by-step playbook used by power-hungry leaders, from controlling the media to rigging elections. Plus, we spotlight mass protests in Hungary and Serbia, where citizens are fighting back against creeping dictatorship.

    Social Security on the Brink: The DOGE Takeover and What Comes Next

    A group of young tech recruits—dubbed the "DOGE Kids"—have taken over key government operations under the Department of Government Efficiency, a Trump-era agency shaking up everything from the Treasury to Social Security. But who are they, and why are they calling the shots at the SSA? In this episode, we break down the rise, fall, and reinstatement of Marko Elez, the controversial former SpaceX employee who briefly had access to federal tax systems, was fired for racist social media posts, and then rehired after public backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. Meanwhile, Acting Social Security Commissioner Leland Dudek admits he's caught between the administration’s demands and growing concerns over the agency’s future. With major job cuts, office closures, and new inefficiencies piling up, we’re asking: Is this a takeover or a takedown of Social Security? And what would privatization really mean for everyday Americans? Strap in—this one’s a wild ride. 🔗 Protests & Boycotts: Tesla Protest: https://tinyurl.com/teslaprotests14th Amendment March: https://www.nowmarch.orgFederal Building Sit-In: https://www.4thbranch.usInclusion Day: https://www.wemarchwerise.orgMayday Multi-Week Protest: https://tinyurl.com/maydayprotest📞 Take Action: Call Elected Officials: https://5calls.org/General Strike Info: https://journalofcogency.com/2025/03/02/what-is-a-general-strike/📱 Follow Me on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Tasha_is_UnWrappedBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tashaisUnWrapped Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tasha_is_unwrapped/donations
