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...
