Matt Rothschild and Angela Lang tackle the big issues with humor and heart. Angela shares her passion for student organizing and addresses the assault on student activism, while guest Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford dives deep into her run for the Wisconsin State Assembly. She unpacks the struggles of working-class individuals facing poverty and the dire need for healthcare reform. The duo also takes shots at billionaires hoarding wealth and explores the moral decay wrought by unchecked greed. Birdwatching offers a lighter moment before they draw inspiration from Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Audre Lorde, urging resilience and solidarity in turbulent times.
