  • Greta Hasn’t Changed: A Deep Dive
    Is Greta Thunberg different now? Ever since taking action for the people of Palestine she has been called a terrorist, an anti-semite, and someone who left climate justice behind. As world leaders meet for the 30th time for the UN Climate Summit, this year in Brazil, Francesca looks at how the young Thunberg changed the world six years ago at COP24. Yet now that she’s turned her attention to the global wound that is the genocide in Gaza, she is being told she has become “political.” Sure, Jan. What’s political is that countries DO NOT HAVE TO REPORT the emissions that stem from their military activity. That’s right. All the wars, conflicts, military exercises with heavy aircraft and artillery are not factored in when it comes time to calculate whether countries are in fact reducing greenhouse gas emissions. And military spending is increasing worldwide. Will leaders actually take responsibility for the climate chaos their aggression creates? Not only are countries like Israel and the United States murdering Palestinians, but they are making Palestinian land unlivable, destroying the soil and water with chemical weapons. Greta consistently makes these links as part of the reason she fights for Palestine. So no, Greta Thunberg has not changed, she’s doubled down.

  • Argentina First And The Hope of Zohran w/ Sam Seder & Chris Robbins (Ep 303)
    Food seems important. Whether eating it or growing it. But in between the government shutdown and the tariff trade wars, Trump and the GOP have endangered both farmers and 40 million Americans who rely on supplemental nutrition programs or SNAP. In Aransas, soybean farmers are taking their own lives in places, while cattle ranchers are wondering why the U.S. is vowing to buy Argentine beef.   Sam Seder of The Majority Report joins to talk about the moral cruelty and political stupidity of this moment and the fallout of Graham Platner’s tattoo. Then Chris Robbins of the blog Hell Gate NYC joins to discuss how far mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani has come, the growing influence of DSA and how Mamdani is handling the blatant xenophobia.  Featuring: Sam Seder The Majority Report Christopher Robbins  Editor & Co-Founder of Hell Gate Subscribe to Hell Gate: https://hellgatenyc.com/  Watch Hell Gate's new podcast episode with Zohran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB-fNr6XM9M *** Support independent media by becoming a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.

  • Don't Poop on My Parade with Rep. Summer Lee & Miles Gray (Ep 302)
    How can the No Kings energy translate into real legislative and political wins? It's not like people haven't shown up in the millions before. Miles Gray of The Daily Zeitgeist joins to talk about Trump taking an AI dump on protesters, while MAGA searches for who is behind the protesters since nothing they do isn't subsidized by a billionaire. Then, rich New Yorkers are terrified of Zohran Mamdani even though they admit they're not going to move if he wins. Then Rep. Summer Lee is BACK talking Mike Johnson's Epstein-deluded government shutdown, justice for Palestinian Americans killed by Israel, AIPAC, crypto, and why we should abolish Superpacs.  Featuring: Miles Gray, The Daily Zeitgeist milesofgray.bsky.social Rep.

    The Young Republicans group chats have leaked and it’s even worse than you might imagine.  Wajahat Ali and Van Lathan Jr. join Francesca to talk about the white nationalist elephant in the room, and the mainstreaming of hate even in just the past four years.

  • Most Brain Rotted Presidency Ever
    This administration is unwell. Their online posting habits are evidence enough. If they were a friend we’d probably recommend touching grass. Or therapy. But they are not our friends but rather wannabe fascists who are disappearing immigrants and demonizing anyone who disagrees with them.  In this deep dive Francesca explores how Trump’s propaganda derives from the very bowels of the internet that Trump’s victories have pulled from: the gamers, the incels, the 4chan and 8chan white nationalists. These are the online communities with big mass shooter energy who hate women, people of color, and living in a society?  And actual mass shooters exhibit the same kinds of posting behavior as whoever is behind these unhinged DHS and White House posts.  So it’s no accident that Trump’s propaganda pulls from these same places in order to recruit sad dads to work for ICE. In order to do racist violence you should probably be a violent racist. You want armies of Nick Fuentes’.  And it’s extra funny that while being tough online, DHS claims *they* are the ones being targeted. It’s extra rich that FBI director Kash Patel claims he’s ‘going after nihilistic extremists who were radicalized online’. He should start by looking in the mirror.     **** Thanks to the awesome editing styles of Brent Godin, as well as Paige Oamek and Andy Vasoyan. *** Support independent media and these long-form videos by becoming a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.
