Neera Tanden is finally being called out. This is an opportunity to hold her accountable. She cannot be confirmed as Joe Biden's budget office director.

Chris Smalls, former Amazon employee and founder of The Congress of Essential Workers, describes how he was quarantined as a silencing tactic, when he tried to get answers from management at Amazon.

Professor Deborah Levitt talks to Nomiki about what inspired her latest book The Animatic Apparatus: Animation, Vitality, and the Futures of the Image, and how animation technology is a big contributor to what we see as “post-truth.”

Simon Narode and Jordan Zakarin join the show to look at Fox News' fantasy image of the Democratic Party, and Twitter's announcement that Donald Trump is PERMANENTLY banned from their platform, even if he were to become President again. But does get to the root of the problem?
