  • Can We Vote Our Way Out of This? : A Conversation with Authoritarian Expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat

    Can We Vote Our Way Out of This? : A Conversation with Authoritarian Expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat
    May 19 2026
    Ruth Ben Ghiat reminds us that unless we want America to become a white, christian ethno-state, we need to be engaging now. Now is the best time as the administration sets everything on fire and people start to feel the pain. According to Ruth, we’re actually ahead of the curve in terms of resistance, so we need ramp it up, if anything overcompensate with positive action. Autocrats want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we’re not. Getting out of this mess is going to be an uphill battle, but it’s not a lost cause. In fact, if we play our cards right, we might even be able to build something way better than we had before.

    May 12 2026
    Why are we at war? Why are they trying to trick us into thinking the economy is good as if we don’t pay our own bills? Why do they keep taking the White House keep taking on unnecessary renovations in DC rather than paying for things his citizens need like cancer research and food stamps?

    The Return of Jim Crow: A Conversation with the ACLU’s Sophia Lin Lakin
    May 5 2026
    Don’t think for a moment that the dismantling of the 1965 Voting Rights Act stops with disenfranchising Black voters. Once Republicans are finished suppressing Black votes, women are next, gay Americans will follow, and then they’ll come for the working poor. Nobody is safe once if the powers that be are allowed to dismantle democracy. Dismantling the voting rights act isn’t a Black issue. It’s a EVERYBODY issue and everybody needs to ACT LIKE IT.

    The Boy Wants A Ballroom! A Conversation with Joanna Johnson
    Apr 28 2026
    We don’t know if the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner was staged. What we do know, is that everyone involved acted incredibly strangely before, during, and after, and within an hour of the event there was a calculated onslaught of propaganda from the White House press room to the entirety of the right wing internet around the necessity of Trump getting his ballroom. And if you don’t think that’s weird…you’re not paying attention. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

    Men Behaving Badly : A conversation with Arielle Fodor
    Apr 21 2026
    Between the on line Rape Academy, where men taught other men, and shared videos, of how to drug and rape your wife, to the constant drip drip drip of the Epstein files where everyone involved (except the woman) is walking free, to the recent fall from grace of California gubernatorial candidate, and Democratic front runner, Eric Swalwell, every day feels like a fresh new attack on women - how we’re perceived, what we’re good for, what laws we get, and how powerful men abuse us daily and get away with it. So what are we going to do about it? As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

  • Does America Hate Women? A conversation with Monte Mader

    Does America Hate Women? A conversation with Monte Mader
    Apr 7 2026
    Christian nationalists are saying the quiet part out loud, that they don’t believe women should have a role in public facing society. For them it’s about dependency, an excuse for unbridled hierarchy, and a select group deciding who has worth and who doesn’t. If this isn’t something you agree with, now is the time to understand this reality, and use the levers of power we have before they are taken from us. These people are not fucking around. Neither can we. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

    As There’s a lot going on in America right now from No Kings to the war but as today’s guest, Dr. Anahita Dua reminds us we still need to talk about America’s health, because with RFK Jr. running the Department of Health and Human Services, we really are in grave danger.
