"It can't happen here." It can, it is, and it only will get worse if we allow Trumpism to win in 2024. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Danielle was joined by Reverend Mark Thompson a few weeks ago to discuss the New York Times report on Black pastors urging President Biden to call for a cease-fire in Gaza. In the weeks since then, hundreds if not thousands more Palestinians have been killed, and the AME Church Bishops Council has called not just for a ceasefire but for an end of US aid to Israel. Is the Biden administration's continued support of Israel worth losing the support of Black voters in the 2024 election? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this Woke Wednesday, Danielle discusses the tragic story of the killing of Nex Benedict, a nonbinary high schooler in Oklahoma, and how tragedies like these underscore the importance of keeping Trump and Republicans out of government. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bishop Tonyia Rawls joined Danielle at the Creating Change Conference for a riveting conversation about how LGBTQ+ people and left-wing Americans in general cannot allow Republicans to claim religion and faith all for themselves. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
