Fascism thrives on fear. It wilts under scrutiny. Never look away. Never stop fighting. Hold them accountable and make them pay for every cruel thing they do. It’s the only way we get through this. Support this newsletter for just $5 a month or $50 a year and we’ll get through together. Had a chat with some nerds, a doctor, and a bachelor yesterday about what a piece of shit Michael Cohen is, the...

How to make a bleak year end with a laugh? Throw three Jews together to kvetch about it, of course! We also make a few predictions about 2026. It’s weird being the optimist of the group for a change, but I do my best to cheer up Dana and Lawrence. You’ll have to judge for yourself if I succeed or not. ;) Thank you Nick Paro , The Bathrobe Guy (Robes) 👘 , Cat , Melissa Corrigan, she/her , Yanni Ha...

Thanksgiving is a day for family, food, and reflection. And angry politics! This is the Opinionated Ogre Podcast! There’s ALWAYS angry politics! But this week, we also slip in some joy and family to take the edge off. So grab a turkey leg and settle in as Florida Woman Rants and I share the things we’re grateful for this year! The Opinionated Ogre is a Stay-at-Home parent first, foul-mouthed hater...

Had a wonderful conversation with Andra Watkins about the dangers of Christian Nationalism/Dominionism and the racism and misogyny and pedophilia it deliberately spreads like a goddamn cancer in America. We finished it off by talking about why this time, the American Right will be held accountable for its crimes and why they won’t be able to stop the midterms. Come join the conversation! The Opini...

Hopped on Thursday afternoon with Shane Yirak to dig into the Republican government shutdown, how it’s going to hurt millions of Americans, and how we can make our government more accountable to the people again.

Spent the morning digging into the supervillain origins of the creepy plastic vampire that is Peter Thiel with Shane Yirak.
