    Why are we all feeling broken?

    Sometimes we have to release our rage. That's what we're doing today. More and more of us feel more broken than ever and it is not our fault. We're living through the very scenarios we were called paranoid for worrying about. The exhaustion isn't just bone-deep anymore. It's soul-deep. There's something uniquely devastating about watching systems fail us in real time. We followed the rules. Got the degrees. Trusted in institutions and procedures and protocols. Now we're watching those same systems protect the men who want to strip our rights away, one judicial decision at a time. No one is coming to save us. We are it. We have to save ourselves. Let's talk about it. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Who Wants an Equal Marriage?

    Welcome to yet another rousing debate about equality! There's this trend happening on TikTok where women film their husband's when they tell them they can't pay their part of the mortgage this month. And the apparent goal is for the men to say, "don't worry about it...why would you ever worry about it." It's another social media trend that is promoting the idea that women should be in a position where they don't have to worry about making money. We're seeing more and more of these as the right continues their culture war to push women out of the workforce and back into the home where they believe we belong.

    Ballerina Farm and the Future of America

    Emily and Jo dive into the phenomenon of Ballerina Farm, the widely followed brand led by Hannah Nealman. They discuss the brand's recent PR successes, including features in both Evie magazine and the New York Times. While exploring the appeal of Nealman's lifestyle, they also critique the underlying political messages and the unrealistic portrayal of traditional roles. They touch on the broader cultural and legal implications influenced by conservative groups, the parasocial relationships formed with influencers, and the fantasy versus the reality of the content presented online.

    How is Trump Picking His Cabinet (Let's Talk About Matt Gaetz)

    Emily has three theories on why Trump has put alleged sex trafficker Matt Gaetz forward for the post of Attorney General and we are getting into them all. What are the implications of the nomination and potential impacts on the government? What will Trump's favorite lap dog do in the role and why is it more important than ever not to check out of the news.

    What Do We Do Now?

    It's morning in America friends and we're all feeling pretty crappy. Or at least half the country is.  What we know so far is that Donald Trump will be the 47th president, Republicans will take the Senate and the House is still up for grabs.  What does this mean? How do we move forward? How do we keep hope alive?   Let's talk about how to take care of yourself first and foremost and then let's get on our big girl panties and fight another damn day.
