If anyone knows what you need to know, it’s Chelsi!

After years of volunteering in local schools, advocating for equitable education, and organizing against rising hate crimes, she saw a deeper problem: South Asians were not being counted — and not being courted — in Texas politics.

We then discuss patterns that might inform the future, how good Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner was and then we politely crash out by not crashing out about AI slop in political ads and how there’s no such thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s the f*cking President, for crying out loud. We gonna talk about him. But that doesn’t explain why all of them keep blaming Obama and Biden.

In This Episode… Joey Cade sits down with Elaine Campbell who is an Organizer with Planned Parenthood Federation of America AND League of Women Voters Dallas. Both are organizations we care a lot about. They discuss why organizing and community action is so necessary in our society and in our government, what you can do when you hit roadblocks when voting, and a reminder why truthful participation — regardless if all your needs are met with the nominee — is important. I mean, if you can’t look around and see that protest voting along with racist voting is what got us here, I don’t know what to tell you. We keep saying listen to Black Women. Now would be a good time to start implementing that. I was not able to join them in this discussion because I have to be on set for work. We do this stuff for free, so I gotta work to feed myself!

One of those states I use to live in, politically, has gone down hill since I left. Ohio. What….are y’all doing? Taking the T outta THC. I can’t wait for a president to just….make this federally legal and leave us alone. Too many states for too many years have shown making weed legal isn’t an issue. How are we this dumb? Sorry…not we.
