    Unrig The Game

    This episode is for the truth-tellers, the burned-out organizers, the benched leaders, and the ones who refuse to play a rigged game. Host Jasmine Banks is joined by Vanessa Daniel, longtime organizer and author of Unrig the Game, for a searing conversation that takes direct aim at the nonprofit industrial complex, influencer activists chasing clout, and the weaponization of identity inside our movements. They talk survival, silence, and betrayal—especially what happens when women of color rise to power and then get crushed by the very systems they were told to trust. No fluff, no performative solidarity—just an honest reckoning with the question: What would it actually take for our movements to win?

    Redneck Gone Green

    The two-party system isn’t just broken—it’s failing our families, our communities, and our planet. In this episode of Parenting is Political, Jasmine sits down with David Cobb—eco-socialist, activist, and host of Redneck Gone Green—to unpack why the U.S. political system is designed to maintain corporate power and suppress real change. We dive into the possibilities and limitations of third-party movements, including the Green Party, and what a true challenge to the status quo would require. Cobb breaks down how the Democratic and Republican parties fail working-class people, why electoral politics alone won’t save us, and what it means to build a movement that actually serves the people. If you’ve ever felt trapped in the two-party cycle, this conversation is for you. Follow David Cobb: @redneckgonegreen US Solidarity Economy Network; @ussolidarityeconomynetwork

    Polyamory is for the Ruling Class?

    Say what?? Jasmine and Mo react to The Atlantic article Polyamory, the Ruling Class’s Latest Fad by Tyler Austin Harper. They discuss how the claims that Harper makes uphold the nuclear family model, how they practice polyamory, and how non-monogamy certainly isn't just a fad for rich people.
