The Cast of the Tribeca Award-Winning Podcast, "Red For Revolution" 35:00

27 weeks ago35:00

35:00

Jordan Hull, Alimi Ballard, Executive Producer/Lead Actress Renee Wilson and Creator/WriterDirector Jana Naomi Smith discuss the premiere of Red For Revolution , Tribeca's 2024 Independent Audio Fiction Winner. Red for Revolution is a six-part audio drama centering intergenerational stories of Black women, queer love, and liberation starring Jordan Hull, Loretta Devine, S. Epatha Merkerson, Rutina Wesley, Renée Wilson, Alimi Ballard, Jennifer Beals, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Danny Glover, Vanessa E. Williams, adrienne maree brown, Caro Guzmán, Don Daniels, and many others. The heart of the story follows the passionate love affair between jazz singer Lorraine Giovanni and activist Ella Ali. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of Jazmine, an 18-year-old grappling with her queer identity, first crush, and the delicate task of mending her relationship with her homophobic mother. As Jazmine seeks solace and guidance from her grandmother, listeners are transported back to 1971, where two remarkable women from vastly different backgrounds, with opposing political views and living oceans apart, embark on a romance that defies all conventions. Red for Revolution was created, written, and directed by Jana Naomi Smith, with sound design by Collin Gerald Thomas, music direction by Tammy L. Hall, executive produced by Renée Wilson, Jana Smith, & Meta Mana Media, and produced by Liz McBee. You can listen via Radiotopia, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you find podcasts.

Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won. Here Are The Numbers… 1:01:07

1:01:07

4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data. By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone. No less than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due). At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified. 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted. 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote. Greg Palast is a forensic economist and data journalist Palast covered vote suppression for The Guardian, BBC Television and Rolling Stone. He is the author of New York Times bestsellers on the topic including The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

Trump Won. Now What? Part II 55:04

37 weeks ago55:04

55:04

Markos and Rev. Mark examine the apparent slippage in numbers for the Democratic coalition that previously secured Biden's presidency. Despite the Democrats efforts, the nation experienced a conservative shift, with Trump gaining unexpected traction among low-propensity voters in rural areas.One revelation from the election is the curious shift in high voter turnout benefiting Republicans—a departure from historical trends favoring Democrats. Dramatically, Trump has managed to win over a significant portion of economically marginalized voters, taking 28 of the 30 poorest states. Republicans now align more with lower socioeconomic demographics, traditionally the Democratic stronghold. And what about the influence of societal and gender dynamics on Nov. 5? With women advancing in educational and professional spheres, young men appear increasingly alienated and radicalized—a phenomenon with global echoes. This gender shift may underlie some of the support for Trump, whose rhetoric seems to galvanize men feeling disenfranchised by women’s progress. Despite significant slippage of Latino support for Democrats, Markos cautions against viewing the situation through a panicked lens. Instead, he emphasizes understanding the existing fractures and addressing them head-on. Should Democrats reevaluate their approach to voters, focusing on practical policy alignment over ideological purity? Should Democrats not just educate and uplift marginalized groups, but, also ensure their political strategies resonate with a broader audience, including those feeling sidelined by economic or societal changes? Markos and Rev. Mark also discuss the necessity of leaving Elon Musk’s X platform for the bluer skies of Blue Sky.

Markos and Rev. Mark examine turnout among key Democratic demographics, despite unprecedented enthusiasm and fundraising efforts, and specifically, why Latinos and white women, did not vote as expected. Markos shares insights into cultural aspects that might influence voting behaviors, particularly within the Latino community. Drawing parallels with his home country of El Salvador, he suggests how issues of safety and conservatism could sway voter attitudes, noting that Trump's promises of economic and cultural security resonate deeply with culturally conservative segments. The discussion also raises questions about gender dynamics in presidential politics. The decline in support among certain demographics suggests underlying biases, posing the question of whether America is truly ready for a woman president. What went wrong in the ground game that had been so promising? How can Democrats more effectively take credit for their accomplishments to clear through the fog of misinformation? Despite the disappointment, Rev. Mark reaffirms his commitment to social justice, calling for continuous action and vigilance. He recounts the historical relationship between protest and progress, reminding us that staying vocal and visible is crucial to the advancement of democratic ideals.

Markos joins for this week's Thursday Kos, and breaks down the latest Cook Political Report which says Harris is leading in every battleground state, except GA. She's erased Trump's six point lead and the two are tied for the most trustworthy to handle inflation. The 37% of voters who thought the economy was getting better or was staying the same in May, has grown to 46%. As the gap between those who think inflation is getting better or staying the same and those who think it’s getting worse has shrunk to eight points — a 17-point decrease in economic pessimism over the last four months, Harris leads Trump among the 46% of voters who who think inflation is getting better or staying the same. And Trump's lead over Harris on immigration and the border shrunk five points since August to 51% - 42%.
