The fight for the filibuster will come up after the stimulus is passed, but we can still pass it through budget reconciliation. Also, Labor organizer Kenzo Shibata talks about how Chicago teachers got to the point that they’re now on the precipice of another strike. And later, Lance from The Serfs and Eoin Higgins join Nomiki to discuss Tucker Carlson defending far right conspiracies on his show. MEANWHILE.. at same time some leftists are forming what they see as strategic alliances with right-wing groups. This is not a sound strategy. All this PLUS the Democrats are ready to fight for $15... in 2025.

Lance is a political comedian who currently has the most popular Canadian political show on Twitch and also manages multiple channels on youtube. Their main channel is home to long form documentaries that he and the other serf Dave work on. They usually do deep dives into right wing and liberal ghouls to pick apart their arguments and explain why a leftist alternative is much better for the working class. They both identify as democratic socialists (not social democrats). Their site was taken down on April 1st 2019 by a mass flagging from the alt-right because of popular videos we had done on pewdiepie and Joe Rogan. Luckily all the progressive accounts on the twitter helped bring them back with a massive campaign that resulted in people like the Majority Report and Michael Brooks telling their story and YouTube had to actually issue an apology (which he framed and put in the back of his set).
