California did the bare minimum for our immigrants, but at least they did something.

Our friend Sarah Marshall has a great podcast coming out about the Satanic Panic of the 80's. It's pretty wild how much it actually teaches us about our current moment.

For some reason far-right activist and Trump loyalist Laura Loomer came for Rep. Jasmine Crockett on social media, and Jasmine with all the class and Blackness she could muster... clapped back.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In 2015, a man in Mississippi told the police he experienced a hate crime. That hate crime was someone burning the Mississippi state flag and spraying painting BLACKS RULE on his driveway. At no time in this history of Blackness have we ever used the phrase "Blacks Rule." But now we have these Tyler Robinson text messages, and "anti-ICE" writing on the shell casings of the Dallas shooter's bullets... I don't know fam, it's giving "Blacks Rule" energy.

Bad Bunny is the Artist America didnt know it needed. This week he streamed his concert from Puerto Rico bc due to the ICE raids, he chose not to tour here in the contiguous united states.

The Governor of Utah was praying that Charlie Kirk's shooter was "not one of us" and boy was that a prophetic statment. Is that not just like America? The problem is never you, huh?

Our world is still reeling from the violence of last week, and processing that can be very complicated. What do you do when a monster of a man dies?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week was.. dark. The Supreme Court says racial profiling is okay, a women was stabbed on a train and a school was shot up within minutes of Charle Kirk being murdered.

The track this week, "If You Could Ask An Endling" poses the question of how did you get to extinction and what could we do to avoid it. I can't help but think of the erosion of trust in experts as displayed by the firing of the CDC director.

Taken by themselves, some actions are problematic, but may or may not be deal breakers. But when you add all of them together, they become a bright red flag.

Whew!!
That kid is a whole vibe! 😎
all that stepdad did was prove to his stepdaughter that his love & care for her was conditional
🎯
Trump is terrible for the United States and the word, but the democrats have themselves to blame, terrible messaging and no backbone.
Whew, the electoral college is a TRIP! It's wild to imagine how much could be different in presidential politics if we went to another system - popular vote, ranked voting, etc.
I dont know cause of how this man talk 😂😂😂 Shady Prop = Best Prop
I'm out of touch, I don't know any of the artists he mentioned.
immediately listened to all of sad oligarch! zero regrets
nothing is more cursed than opening for Iron Maiden, their fans will stab you for having the nerve to go before Maiden.
blowback from proxy wars = second hand smoke. lol! PERFECT analogy. #hoodpolitics
sorry man, but your idea of "the world" in relation to Russia is extremely US-centric and naive. That "world", just to start with, does not include south America, Africa and most of Asia.
that's some hardcore projection going on in that. strength and nuclear threats is the only thing the US understands, hence why north Korea still exists and Syria effectively doesn't. when the US is not in play, Russia does diplomacy just fine, take brics for example. so how goes the old saying, it's not them it's you.
Man... this show has fallen off lately. It feels like Prop isn't doing any prep or research and is just improvising his takes without forethought. I keep coming away from episodes feeling like he never made a point or an argument. I hope that changes.
You can only empathise with people who look like you? You think you have some sort of special understanding of the horrors of Yemen or Sudan? Seriously, with every ounce of honesty I have, go FUCK yourself you arrogant little cunt.
Absolutely brilliant analysis. I wish I could make this specific episode mandatory listening before any American is allowed to express an opinion on current affairs in Russia and/or Ukraine.
Another masterpiece👏👏👏
Prop, you have an amazing mind, an educators' mind. In fact my 16 & 18 year olds, are listening with me. They say they'd of enjoyed going to their classes if they'd had teachers like you.
This sounds like a great show! I'm sure I'll learn a lot and I can't wait for the next episode.
