Episode: #388 Yes We Can (Defund The Police)
Description: Alise, Kaitlin, and Amanda catch up on the Trump admin’s race to cause as much destruction and cruelty before leaving office as possible. Namely, by quietly changing the citizenship test to be longer, harder, and tinged with conservative ideology. Then, they unpack former President Barack Obama’s criticism of “defund the police” and why the country’s most beloved but verbose former president shouldn’t be offering slogan advice. Finally, they compare calls to dilute the message against police brutality with Lincoln’s oft-overlooked commitment to ending slavery no matter the cost.Thanks to our sponsors:
