Reject Modernity Embrace Tradition

Episode 50: Reject the Closed League, Embrace the Beautiful Game

With the World Cup only days away, and with our last couple of episodes being, well, heavy as hell, we thought we would take the opportunity to inject a little levity into the show once again and talk about the biggest things that the US gets wrong when it comes to soccer, football, calcio, the beautiful game. Things could be so much better for American Soccer, and we can make them that way.

Episode 49: Reject Trump's Forever Dodge, Embrace Foreign Policy

The Trump Administration has been maddeningly, insanely inconsistent on the causes, justification, purpose, just about everything to do with their war in Iran. Megan and Clayton take you through why this is so strange, why Congress needs to step in, and how we need to orient ourselves differently towards foreign policy going forward.

Episode 48: Reject Rejecting the Voting Rights Act, Embrace Reconstruction 2.0: The Reckoning

The Supreme Court's decision in the Callais case is, to put it mildly, a bunch of hot garbage. Megan and Clayton struggle to stay calm as they take you through the history of the VRA up to this point, as well as what this decision means going forward.

Episode 47: Reject Medical Misinformation, Embrace Modern Science

There is a rising tide of misinformation specifically related to women's health that parallels the anti-vaccine movement with startling fidelity. Megan and Clayton talk about some of the tactics of these groups, and what we might be able to do to head them off at the pass.

Episode 46: Reject "The Department of", Embrace Justice

Pam Bondi is turning the Department of Justice into an instrument of Trump's will rather than a legitimate law enforcement organization. Her actions are doing long term damage to our institutions and wreaking havoc on our judicial processes. Megan and Clayton take you through what is happening, and discuss long term prospects for repairing the damage.
