About a week post-Dobbs, Briahna speaks to public defender and periodic co-host at The Hill Rising Olayemi Olurin & comedian and podcaster Kate Willet about the Democratic party response and what this means about the state of women's' rights in America. It's a long overdue kvetch-sesh with two of the funniest leftists around, about a subject that's no laughing matter.

This week, Briahna convenes an all-star panel of guests to break down the economic and philosophical roots of the housing crisis, and how to solve it. Rebecca Parson, a candidate for Washington's 6th congressional district, brings her personal experiences with homelessness to bear, along with observations from her district, while Canadian attorney and Global Director of THE SHIFT housing initiative, Leilani Farha, offers a global perspective. Finally, sociologist, anthropologist Dr. Dan Souleles joins from Copenhagen to apply his work on financial capitalism, and the role private equity has played in the housing market. The conversation spans the practical to the philosophical, and only deepens as it progresses. Stick around till the end, and join Briahna on Callin later this evening to discuss.

This week, Briahna speaks to journalist & editor at Multipolarista Benjamin Norton and 2016 Green Party VP & National Organizer for Black Alliance for Peace Ajamu Baraka about the recent election of the first left President of Colombia. What are the implications for US imperialism in the region, and what lessons does it hold for American leftists watching our own Democracy crumble? Ajamu lives in Colombia, and has had a personal relationship with VP-elect Francia Marquez since she was a teenager. Ben and Ajamu explain how powerful left movements forced new president Gustavo Petro to select the Afro-Colombian environmental and indigenous rights activist as his VP, and win an historic election.

Last week, Sam Adler-Bell's provocative New York Magazine piece on the problem with contemporary "wokeness" discourse launched a thousand Twitter threads and response pieces. Many were critical, but does he have a point? Is there something toxic about how resistant some on the left are to talking to people who don't already agree with us? And if the goal is to reach a wider audience, doesn't that require us to use different language than we do when preaching to the choir? At what point does changing our language implicate the underlying morals and values? And does abandoning woke language mean abandoning the populations it's meant to serve? Pascal Robert of This is Revolution & Freddie deBoer of his eponymous blog join Briahna to talk Lizzo's lyric change, that NPR tweet about "menstruating people," the viral "What Is a Woman" film, and more.
