The great train wreck (and other wrecks this past week)
About this episode
Freinds,
Welcome back to my Saturday coffee klatch with Heather Lofthouse, Executive Director of Inequality Media Civic Action (and my former student, years ago). Grab a cup and pull cup a chair.
Today, we talk about:
— Biden and the Democrat’s decision to stop railway workers from striking.
— Elon Musk’s decision to allow almost every hateful, deceptive person in the world to spew poison on Twitter (except Kanye West).
— House Republican’s upcoming decision over whether they’ll try to do serious things or use their two years in control of the House sowing more divisiveness.
— Plus Heather reveals a special talent that you won’t believe.
And please take our poll:
