Previous Episode

Reproductive Freedom is On the Ballot!

On this episode, Sue, Jas, and Jen recap the “awwws” and “aarghs” on the gram this week. From Democrats controlling the weather, to the hard lessons in finding out that result from f*cking around with election interference, and a heartfelt plea to leave misogyny at home when heading to the voting booth.

They dive into the headlines that dominated the news cycle, including Hurricane Helene disinformation, more receipts from Jack Smith detailing the desperation of the former president to steal the 2020 election, and damning non-answers during the one and only vice presidential debate.

And they explore the possibilities this election could bring for reproductive freedom across the country, while reflecting on the devastating realities of a post-Roe America and how we got to this point... Spoiler alert, it’s racism...

Opportunity Economy: A Lil Everything for Everybody

Whew Chile! This economy is certainly economying. It just seems like whether it’s the cost of housing, groceries, or a $5 foot long, the money is funny but these bills are forreal!

But at the end of the day, the day gone end. And we’ll all still exist under the confines of capitalism. But wouldn’t it just be nice if the richest among us paid their fair share of taxes. I mean, a girl can dream.

On this episode, Sue, Jas, and Jen discuss the economic policies put forth by both presidential candidates (one of whom filed for bankruptcy six times) and charges listeners to make their own determination about which pick is best for their bottom line. But that is after we debrief Hurricane Milton misinformation, the Maryland Senate race, and a passionate plea for Black men to recognize that Black women are not the enemy. Because―in the immortal words of the late, great Frankie Beverly―We Are One.... And that’s the way it is.
