But first, Nomiki opens by discussing Puerto Rican independence, and specifically the new bill introduced by AOC and Nydia Velázquez. Then, Shana Gallagher and Joseline Garcia from UN-PAC give us the lowdown on the legislation they’re pushing for, which would get big money out of politics and make it easier for people to vote.

Amid horrific violence against Asian Americans, a pandemic, and an economic crisis, the Joe Biden administration has an opportunity to be as powerful and progressive as it wants you to believe it is. On today’s show, Nomiki explains how a new piece of legislation, the PRO Act, could transform labor in the US, and Professor Harvey Kaye takes us back to the legacies of FDR and LBJ to demonstrate how Biden can step up to the plate. Then, our Thursday panel with Rep. Chris Rabb and Arun Chaudhary takes a closer look at racism in our institutions, using the captain of the Atlanta sheriff’s office and Texas Rep. Chip Roy as examples.

The world woke up this morning to the tragic news of a mass shooting, where a white man targeted Asian women at massage parlors in Atlanta, Georgia. Nomiki begins today’s show by unpacking these events, and how this tragedy must lead to broader conversations about violence against Asian women and sex workers. Then Delegate Lee Carter from Virginia joins our show to discuss his socialist campaign for governor. And our panel with Simon Narode and Jordan Zakarin discusses today’s top stories: the shootings in Georgia, new hope for Medicare for All, the fall of the Lincoln Project, and of course, Joe Biden weighing in on Andrew Cuomo's future as governor of New York.

It’s a miracle that we now have vaccines for what has been a deadly and terrifying pandemic. But vaccines don’t end pandemics. Successful vaccination campaigns end epidemics, and on that front, there’s still a lot of work to do. Nomiki opens today’s show by discussing the importance of depoliticizing the vaccine. Later, Outagamie, WI County Executive Tom Nelson joins to talk about his Senate run against Republican incumbent and horrible human Ron Johnson. Then, our panel with Napoleon Da Legend and Joshua Kahn Russell react to elites demonstrating their disconnect, whether it’s Joy Behar saying Antifa doesn’t exist, or Andrew Yang claiming there isn’t much to be engaged with politically in New York.
