In his 2 years as Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis has shown a Trumpian ability to weaponize the white resentment that drives Republican voters. But compared to Trump, research has found DeSantis is 35% less likely to trip over his own dick trying to enact horrible policies.
This spring, in a move clearly targeting the #BLM movement, DeSantis signed into law HB-1, a piece of anti-protest legislation the governor likes to call his “anti-riot bill."
It's a completely unnecessary law, especially given that most of the protests held across Florida last summer were peaceful. That alone is impressive, considering almost NOTHING that happens in Florida is peaceful.
DeSantis was one of the 1st governors to attempt removing critical race theory from his state's education system and he signed a restrictive voting rights law that discriminates against Black & Latino voters. Of course he's doing whatever he can to pass racist laws. He's racist!
Governor Ron Desantis, please eat shit. You're one of the worst governors in Florida history and they had Jeb Bush and Nosferatu. We, as a country, cannot handle a more competent Trump. So let’s make sure DeSantis 2024 doesn’t happen. Image

It's officially summer! And you know what that means: toxic media messaging about weight gain! Fun fact: the Quarantine 15 is also what Sam called the heist team she put together during lockdown. They never wound up stealing anything...except each others' hearts. Image
The weight loss industry is continuing their crusade to make people, particularly women, worry about their weight. While there's never a good time for weight loss fear mongering––right now, as we emerge like cicadas, ready to shed our skin & hump, it's really not the time.
The $78 billion dollar weight loss industry lost almost 1/4 of its value in 2020 because people were too busy trying to survive to put losing weight on their to-do lists. Sam only had 1 thing on hers last year: figure out how to get out of virtual happy hour with her friends.

While conservatives have recently appropriated "critical race theory" as a catch-all scare term for basically any conversation about teaching the history of race in America, the actual concept of it has been around for decades and - surprise! - it's really not scandalous at all.
The current conservative handwringing about critical race theory started in 2019, when the NY Times published the 1619 Project, which aimed to reframe our history by placing the consequences of slavery and contributions of Black Americans at the center of our national narrative.
Unfortunately, that Pulitzer-winning journalism failed to take into account the feelings of one truly oppressed group: racist dildos.

“Now we’re cooking with gas!” isn’t a fun metaphor—it’s fossil fuel propaganda! Gas stoves may be a trendy status symbol, but where there’s smoke there’s fire and those gas stoves are emitting TONS of smoke. Enough to cause serious health issues and contribute to climate change!
It’s okay if you didn’t know. We didn’t know, either! Lobbyists like @aga_naturalgas are paying influencers to shill gas stoves to you and gloss over the bad things about them—like all the pollution they release into your home. You know, the place where you pet your dog!
Cooking with gas produces levels of Nitrogen dioxide that would be illegal if found outdoors and are significantly higher than those produced by greener and cleaner electric stoves. Breathing nitrogen dioxide increases our susceptibility to lung infections, including COVID.

We have to kill the filibuster! And when we say kill it, we mean kill it. Burn it, strangle it, draw it a bath and drop a plugged-in toaster on it. We do not care. The point is the filibuster needs to die.
We've already gotten rid of the filibuster before––130 years ago! The House of Representatives also had rules that permitted the minority party to filibuster bills. But in the 1890s, they realized it was preventing them from being able to pass ANYTHING.
Why hasn't the Senate followed suit? Probably because it lets them live the American dream: getting paid a lot of money to do absolutely nothing.

The Democrats need to keep the promises that got them elected, which means undoing Trump's heartless immigration policies, raising the refugee cap, ending Title 42, and working with Congress to stop funneling people through a broken backlogged asylum system.
Right now, in 2021, under a Democratic administration, children who are alone and terrified are being held in government custody for a month. We've held convicted criminals for less than a month! Hell, they let Felicity Huffman out of prison after 11 days!
We can't allow the same immigration atrocities that happened under Trump to happen today. How can you keep anything left over from the Trump administration? That's like going to a hotel and telling them to leave the old sheets.

The second half of our show tonight is dedicated to whistleblower Reality Winner, a woman who did a very brave thing––besides attending middle school with her name––and was punished harshly for it by the Trump administration’s justice system.
Remember how Russia tried to influence the 2016 election? While Reality was an NSA contractor, she saw documents that proved this fact. This incredibly upsetting thing upset her, so she did what she felt was right and leaked it to the news.
She was caught and charged under the Espionage Act of 1917, an outdated law which is SUPPOSED to be used against spies, not concerned citizens. While she has suffered greatly as a result of her leak, America made changes to our voting process that made our elections more secure.
