The PoliticsGirl Podcast

In the past week, along with the horrendous Cornell 7, the news included: A man who jacked off to the woman next to him on a plane and United Airlines refused to deal with it, and made her go back to her seat. We discovered an LSU football player was found responsible for raping a girl, but the university lowered his accountability from suspension to probation in order to let him keep playing. A teenage boy was only given a restraining order after he stalked and stabbed a girl 10 times because she wouldn’t date him, and Vanderbilt University reported 50 cases of girls at the health center because of spiked drinks in the last week. The LAST WEEK ALONE. What the fuck are we doing America?!

As today’s guest, Ami Fields Meyer, reminds us in order to take back our future in this era of authoritarianism we need to get in league with a lot of different people. We are in a period of real trauma, but if we can put our differences aside and get past our own fear, the day of accounting will come. As Ahmi says, “They’re not going to get away with this shit. So whether we’re talking about the authoritarians trying to take over our country, or the tech oligarchs who think they are the only ones who get to decide our futures, we need to stay skeptical, insist on safeguards, hold up our institutional power and use whatever leverage we have to fight back.

One of the things I’m known for is getting into it with right-wingers on CNN roundtables, but the OG woman of distinction who does this so beautifully, is Jessica Tarlov on Fox's roundtable show The Five. I’m having Jessica on to talk about this moment in history, but also how we talk about it without losing our minds. Her new book I Disagree: Winning Arguments without Losing Friends, is exactly what I think we need not only in the next couple of months, but in the next couple of years. It’s heated out there. Get some insight on how to keep it cool.

It’s not our fault we feel helpless and isolated in this broken world. That’s by design. We’re the victims of the greatest information war in history - from our media model to our education system - and the antidote is to dive into the tools that created civilization in the first place. Ethics, philosophy, shared history, morality, cooperation. That we already have all the answers - all the proven solutions - to the problems at hand. We just can’t continue to allow the corporations to silence and bury them while driving us off a cliff. Enough is enough.
