Hi all! In today’s episode, Casey and Anjali cover the recent Supreme Court decisions on abortion, guns, and the EPA. We also discuss the Court as an institution—perhaps the most powerful of the United States—and what exactly has contributed to its power. We’re angry, upset, and unfiltered. If you have any comments, we’d love to discuss via Instagram.
We’d also like to emphasize that we only scratched the surface on SCOTUS and their decisions. We highly recommend the podcasts Strict Scrutiny for legal analysis and The Daily constant updates. Anjali referred to Strict Scrutiny and their analysis several times throughout the episode, and both Casey and Anjali cited the New York Times.

Hi everyone! In this episode, Casey and Anjali host Anoushka Chander, a changemaker and gun control activist from Washington DC, to discuss the devastating school shooting that took place in Uvalde, Texas on May 24.

Resources/call for action: everytown.org, theeverymom.com, calling your state, county, and town representatives, community organizing, educating yourself and others, and having meaningful conversations.
Corrections: It was implied that Greg Abbott attended the NRA convention, but he did not. Attendees included Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. It was also mentioned that the United States has the highest rates of gun violence, but this should be qualified to the highest rates among wealthy nations.

Hello and welcome to another episode! This episode was originally meant to be about propaganda, but I do admit, it was recorded very late at night and we did digress (a lot). In addition to propaganda, we ended up discussing issues such as world peace and whether it was ever attainable. We also discussed Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s hearings, which occurred this past week. We hope you enjoy the episode!

“Presidential” in quotation makes because we aren’t so sure that debate embodied the qualities of an American leader.
Anyways... welcome back! This episode is all about Tuesday’s debate, moderated by Chris Wallace of Fox News. President Donald Trump and Former Vice President Joe Biden didn’t provide Americans with the debate they had anticipated. In fact, it left most Americans upset, stunned, and with headaches. We hope you enjoy listening!Debate link: https://youtu.be/w3KxBME7DpM

Hello and welcome to another episode! This is a special episode for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who very unfortunately passed away last week. RBG was an advocate for women’s rights and has shaped many aspects of our lives. She is the first woman and Jewish American to lie in the United States Capitol. We discuss everything from RBG’s time in Supreme Court, her life before Supreme Court, and what her death means for the country. We hope you enjoy listening!

This episode also includes a segment about President Trump’s handling of the situation, especially abortion, during his term. We hope you enjoy listening!
