Additionally, as Americans face a looming eviction crisis, congressional Democrats keep caving to...

The prospect of authoritarianism in America is no longer a matter of ‘if’ or ‘when’—it’s here. Trump’s ongoing occupation of Portland, and threat to deploy federal agents to more cities, shows how powerful and tyrannical the Executive branch has become. To make matters worse, there’s little hope his rogue and brazenly unconstitutional actions can (or actually will) be reigned in. This is authorita...

Trump actually followed through on his threat to violently quell protests and override governors; however, instead of using the military he’s deployed DHS and ICE agents to protests in Seattle, D.C. and Portland, Oregon under the guise of defending statues. Federal agents have remained in Portland in spite of Governor Kate Brown’s objections. We’ll talk about this fascistic escalation. Also, Trump...

Trump’s administration has officially given up the fight against COVID-19, with White House staffers reportedly hoping Americans will become “numb” to the deaths caused by the pandemic. That approach (or lack thereof) paired with Trump’s supporters actively fighting against mask mandates and shaming responsible people that choose to wear masks has culminated in an absolute disaster for the country...

It’s evident Trump is worried about the election in November; and rather than trying to propose policy solutions to appeal to working Americans, he’s choosing to go along with his usual strategy of lying, whining, and sucking himself off. We’ll talk about his catastrophe of a town hall on Fox News, his behavior on Twitter as well as his response to COVID-19 (which is somehow getting even worse). A...

A pandemic is ravaging communities across the country, state-sanctioned murder of unarmed black Americans happens regularly, widespread voter suppression hasn’t been this prevalent in decades… it’s time to face the fact that America is not a democracy, nor is it a functioning regime. America is a failed state. We’ll discuss this week’s events that make that conclusion obvious—George Floyd, Trump’s...
