Donald Trump is a convicted felon, but Joe Biden is still in trouble. There is no enthusiasm for him as a candidate and running on how bad Trump is clearly isn't working out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That is what Republicans will create if their now-convicted felon presidential candidate wins in November. More on THAT story this Monday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

America is increasingly standing alone with Israel, and Biden's campaign is increasingly out of touch with Democratic voters. It's getting harder to tell people this election is the most important of our lifetimes when the people running the campaign aren't treating it that way. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this Woke Wednesday, Danielle Moodie is running out of patience for the Biden administration and its "ironclad" support for the genocidal Netanyahu administration in Israel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At least the America that Danielle grew up knowing. White Christian nationalism is on the rise and no one seems to be rising up to stop it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We may hate that we have to vote for Joe Biden, but the alternative is even worse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joe Biden is standing alone next to Israel, and the rest of the world is taking notice.

It has been nine years, nearly a full decade, since Donald Trump descended down that golden escalator with his message of American hate. Trump changed everything for the worse, and our country's progress is still regressing. If he wins in November, that regression will only move even faster. This is Danielle Moodie's warning on this Woke Wednesday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informati...

The Trump tumor is metastasizing, and Democrats seem unable to stop it. Something good that's unstoppable is the current union drive across America; currently Mercedes auto workers are unionizing in Alabama, and Kay Finklea joined Danielle to talk all about it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are a lot of problems in the world, but we need to work to be part of the solution. One of those doing that important work is Yolanda Peoples, a Volkswagen worker who was part of a successful organizing drive at her plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee to join the UAW - United Auto Workers union. Danielle spoke with her about their efforts, why it took three tries to successfully unionize, and wh...

On this Fuck It Friday, Danielle is holding nothing back. Democrats are attempting to govern as if it's still the 20th century, and Republicans want to roll civil rights back to the 19th century. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But we still have to vote for him in November. Jonathan Metzl joins to discuss his newest piece, What Could American-Style Gun Culture Do to Israel ? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever been given a second chance, or even a third? What about a TENTH? That's what Donald Trump is currently being given by the American "justice" system. Skye Perryman, President & CEO of Democracy Forward , returns to discuss recent Supreme Court cases and what's on the horizon in the current session. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2020, up against Donald Trump, Joe Biden was already a tough pill to swallow. Now in 2024, even against the same threat of Trumpism, it's even harder to accept the decision facing Americans at the polls in November. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's exactly what Joe Biden is doing, with his weak and misguided response to student protests across the country for justice in Gaza. Mark Thompson returns to Woke AF Daily for a special conversation with Danielle Moodie about this crucial moment, with perspective from the ground floor at Columbia. This conversation was recorded prior to NYPD incursions on the Columbia campus and others across...

Joe Biden is currently the "Sophie's Choice" candidate and Danielle is starting to waver in her public support for this administration. Dr. Jonathan Metzl joins to give his perspective as both a sociologist and a Jewish American, recorded BEFORE the violent police incursions on college campuses. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Danielle continues to shine a light on the most important story in America: the violent crackdown on student protests on college campuses across the country. This is actually not a "complex" issue, and we as a people need to think about the work that is required to put into creating the world we desire. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
