democracy-ish

The attack on our democracy didn't end on 1/6/21 it was just the beginning. Like bad James Bond villains, Republicans are telling us exactly what they are planning and how they want America to look but the question remains--is anyone in power going to do anything about it or are we headed to a hybrid DINO regime... Democracy In Name Only? Danielle Moodie and the newly minted co-host of Democracy-i...

It's hard to believe 2021 is almost a wrap and what a year it has been. We began with an insurrection, dealt with two new COVID-19 variants, high profile trials of white supremacists, mass shootings and more historic climate events than can be counted. What will 2022 have in store?!? Something good?! Or at least not so terrible?!? Inshallah! All this and more on the last episode of #democracyish f...

The 1/6 Commission hit a mother load this week in the thousand page document dump by former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Inside this treasure trove were damning texts by Fox hosts, Republican Members of Congress and Trump's own son--begging for help on 1/6. The question remains though--with all this evidence within our grasps will those complicit in the attempt to overthrow our government co...

The most recent school shooting in Michigan at the hands of Ethan Crumbly should be an alarm. His parents are Trumpers through and through who wrote the former disgraced president a letter honoring him and the 2nd amendment. Ethan also journaled his rage and no one paid attention. So, now we are here. Are we prepared for a society filled with armed, white, rage filled teens?!? This and more on the...

Roe is dead, voting rights is on life support and we just experienced our 28th school shooting this school year and it's only December. 53% of white women voting for a misogynistic racist is how we got to our current moment of despair and the Republicans time of triumph. All this and more on this week's democracyish with our friend Wajahat Ali Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Wajahat Ali Executive Pro...

For the first time ever the United States has been listed among backsliding democracies. The organization IDEA is sounding the alarm on what they see as visible deterioration, but will Americans heed the warning or will our arrogance and apathy get the best of us?!?

During the 2020 uprising many speculated that this was going to be the moment America's deeply entwined relationship to white supremacy would shift and yet a year later as we watch the trials of Kyle Rittenhouse and the McDaniels's unfold we are getting a front row seat to America's real addiction--holding space for white rage.  Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Wajahat Ali Executive Producer: Adell Co...

Move over economic anxiety there's a new boogeyman in town... welcome, education anxiety--the latest whitelash against truth. White people around the country are flipping tables and foaming at the mouth over the potential of their fragile children learning the truth about their ancestors and their legacy of white rage and violence. We delve into this and more with guest host, Daily Beast columnist...

Republicans pulled off a major victory in VA after a decade of being out of control and the media is already trying to blame Black voters for their loss instead of looking in the mirror. Guest host Charles D. Ellison, host of Reality Check on WURD, joins Danielle for the rundown on what went wrong and how Dems get back on track!  Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Charles D. Ellison Executive Producer:...

R Kelly is gone. We talk about him, his crimes, his victims, his illiteracy, why this still doesn’t quite prove that Black Lives Matter, and why we need to keep saying Black Lives Matter the same way we once said Black Is Beautiful.

The photo of Haitian immigrants being whipped by white men on horses has us all the way triggered. The heartlessness toward immigrants is difficult to see especially when a lot of the displacement of people in Haiti and Afghanistan and Cuba and other countries is because of America’s geopolitical oppression. Get ready for a very heated Democracyish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Pro...

Nicki Minaj lied. There’s no one in Trinidad whose balls are swollen because of the Covid vaccine. She lied and she tried to defend by attacking Joy Reid which is extra wack. Political leaders from three countries are debunking and dismissing her ridiculous story so it’s a geopolitical dragging so you know we had to pile on. That’s how we roll at Democracyish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Ex...

Texas has outlawed abortion and voting (pretty much) because the Republican Party is run by white people who stand in judgement of people who are not like them, people who feel they must protect their superiority, people without empathy who know better than mothers what they should do with their unborn, who know better than immigrants where they should be, who know better than everyone. We hate it...
