1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome stuff.

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: We never told you reproduction I heard radio.

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think from now on we might

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: just have to time step everything Annie, probably because of

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: the way that everything is feeling like it's in turmoil

6
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: and crisis, we may need to have I feel like

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: I was going to say this in our past episode.

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: I feel like we're going to be in battle mode constantly.

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: So in my old job, I could never address like

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: the root of the issue because we were always constantly

11
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: putting out fires, immediate fires that nothing could be solved,

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: especially for like a caseworker. I think that's where we're

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: going to be at as intersectional feminist podcasts. I think

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: that's just the constant that we're going to have to

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: address issues in a timely manner, and that we're about

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: to be at current events instead of like just educational,

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: which is typically what we'd like to do. Don't get

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: me wrong, we still will because we're going to need

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: those breaks to y'all. Yeah, And also, by the time

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: something is published, oftentimes we're already out of sync with

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: the news, like we're already outdated. But with that, we're

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: gonna put time stamps a lot more. Today is November eighth,

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: technically Monday, if you're listening to this on the chronological order.

24
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like to listen to

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: the shorter episodes anyway, which half the time Monday minis

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: are no longer minis. But anyway, with that, we know

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: you are listening to it later, so things are changing.

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get some more information. There's a lot of

29
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: stuff that's happening that I can't keep up with, including

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: more results, possible conspiracy theories, actual truths. Like there's so

31
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: many things happening that try to decipher through all the

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: information is getting difficult, especially right now. So with that,

33
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: as much as we want to crawl into a fetal

34
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: position and just sleep through the next four or five years,

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: we know we can't. Like we said on the last episode,

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: if you listened, we will not. We will keep pushing,

37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: even though sometimes it feels really hard. Listeners, I wanted

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: to be very transparent with you and let you know

39
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: right now I do feel hopeless, and I say this

40
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: with a smile because I don't know how else to

41
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: address this without crying again. But one thing that I

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: understand is that we can't pretend this didn't happen. We

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: can't pretend like it's not happening. We have to move forward,

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: and a part of our responsibility to you is to

45
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: be a vocal part of this critical journey, scary journey.

46
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: It's scary. As we've already talked about how we are

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: doing and how we are overwhelmed, we will bypass that

48
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: for now, and we want to talk offensive, or maybe

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: perhaps better defensive and what looks like when we were

50
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: looking at things defensively and wanting to protect our rights

51
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: and the rights of those who are marginalized. So this

52
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: is something important for us, and we will keep doing this.

53
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: And I will say, as I was researching what to

54
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: do now seriously, and I've been googling exactly what to

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: do now that Trump has been elected like that is

56
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: the phrase, or organizations that will fight Trump like that?

57
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: Those are the Google searchers that I have been looking up.

58
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: And honestly, I've only been hitting things from twenty sixteen,

59
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, articles from back then to combat Trump. So

60
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily revisiting those things because I think it

61
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: could have helped, and things like the ACLU will remain

62
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: important within our country. They did a lot in things

63
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: that they were fighting specifically by state by state. They

64
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: did a lot of work. They put a lot of time.

65
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: The lawyers, the policymakers roll a lot. We're part of

66
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: this NAACP. We know is a huge organization that does

67
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: a lot as well, that does ground funding. Planned Parenthood

68
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: has done a lot as well. But we also know

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to it, the local things are very important.

70
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: So with all of that, things are a bit different,

71
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: and will likely be appointing two new Supreme Court justices

72
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: as well. We know there's been rumors about Clarence Thomas

73
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: as well as Alito, and they've just been waiting hoping

74
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: for this results. Yeah, but with all of that, as

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: much as that makes me nauseous that want to throw up,

76
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that we can't stop fighting. We have

77
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: also talked about the people as a collective. What I

78
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: have seen are the amount of people coming back together

79
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: and about how to rally. I know there's been protests already,

80
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: there are people coming together already to gather together to

81
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: problem solve at least have strategy. California, the State of California,

82
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: the Say of Washington, all of them have already talked

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: about what's going to happen and the possibility of things

84
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: to happen. Violence is not our go to. We know this,

85
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: so this is not the option that we will be

86
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: going for. And I say this in reference to the

87
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. That is not something that we do.

88
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: We know this. But what we do well is we

89
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: gather together well and coming together, something we have always

90
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: done and that is what I'm hoping for Individually. I

91
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: will tell y'all at this time, look into your area,

92
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: look into your local community and see who are meeting

93
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: together and who are coming together as a community. We

94
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: know that there's organizations out there, We know that there

95
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: are things happening to the point that they get labeled

96
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: antifa just because they're anti fascist. I mean that's true,

97
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: I guess, but seen as terrorist whatever. Okay, whatever, But

98
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Keep an eye on your

99
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: local officials. What are they saying, what are they doing,

100
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: how are they planning for the future. You need to

101
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: take a note of what is going on in your

102
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: small area. I'm talking about for us, our small area

103
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: is Atlanta, the cab County, Decatur, all of that, and

104
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: the people that we have put into office. We are

105
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: staring and watching Fanny Willis. By the way, she got

106
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: nominated and she is still the district attorney for Fulton County.

107
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Just in case y'all needed to know the highlight. We

108
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: knew that we knew it would be because come on,

109
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: support small businesses. So there's conversation constantly about boycotting and

110
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: doing these things and trying to stay away from capitalistic ideas,

111
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: especially right now in seeing who is supporting what and

112
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: why they're supporting it. A lot of the things that

113
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: we're looking at are also again federal standards that are

114
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: being depleted or just overridden because they want to make

115
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: money on the chief no, no matter who gets sick or

116
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: who doesn't get sick. So support small businesses. I think

117
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: specifically right now, we've talked about this as repeatedly. As

118
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: the holidays are coming up, look for black women owned businesses,

119
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: and again watch out for bad players. I think we're

120
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to stay away from Etsy. Annie. I try

121
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: to order a couple of things from Etsy and I

122
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: got some sus stuff. Yeah, I was like, what is this?

123
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: And I try to use etc. Over Amazon because we

124
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: need to get away Bay from Amazon y'all. I will

125
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: tell you firsthand, I order a lot of stuff because

126
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to stores so like like

127
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: face stuff or like cosmetic stuff or like that, so

128
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: that it will come to me. But I realize I

129
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: have a responsibility and I should I did have a responsibility.

130
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: So coming back to through, I'm like, all right, we

131
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: got a revamp. What's going on? But again, we've also

132
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: had this conversation about who is privileged enough to be

133
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: able to shop in these areas because buying or doing

134
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: these custom things in a small business takes money and

135
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: they have to make money, so it's going to cost

136
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: more if you can for those of us who are

137
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: privileged enough buy those things, look up those things, take

138
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: the time to find those businesses. I will say right

139
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: this point, I love TikTok, which might not be around

140
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: to the New Year, because you know, they have a band,

141
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump said really cool about it because you

142
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: know he hated all the information that was being spread

143
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: on TikTok, but whatever. On top of that, they are

144
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: coming together with different organizations that are asking actual owned

145
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: small businesses owned by black women, owned by people of

146
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: color to make a list to highlight what they do

147
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: and what they sell. Try to find those people. Go

148
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: and find them, follow them, find the list, verifies who

149
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: they are, because this is going to take extra work,

150
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: but I think that's something really important as we talk

151
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: about the economy and what has happening in the economy,

152
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: the taxes and all of that, and the tariffs. There's

153
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: so much to this. Uh, take a break from the toxicity.

154
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Social media is both great and awful. Take some time off,

155
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: but also look through who you are following. Find those

156
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: who are building up a good community. That's the best

157
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: way to do this. Followed those who you know you

158
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: can trust. I found some good people. As a person

159
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: from the swing state. Again, we talked about this earlier.

160
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: Fifty point seven percent voted for Trump. We are begging

161
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: for those of you from the outside who seem to

162
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: think they're okay because they are in what has always

163
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: been blue or what is always considered blue, just to

164
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: remember the depth of voter suppression that has occurred here

165
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: in many other red states, especially in states like Georgia Alabama,

166
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: which are very heavily populated by people of color. That

167
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: what happened here with everything from coordinated bomb threads, we

168
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: got so many County, which is Atlanta, invalidating absentee voters

169
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: and absentee votes by the way, the amount of young people,

170
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: especially it was being the black women, I will say that,

171
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: or people of color that were driving or flying to

172
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: their home state to get their votes in y'all are amazing.

173
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: The purging of the voter registration. We had hundreds of

174
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: thousands of people being pershed repeatedly. I've had stories of

175
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: people being vote like getting their voter registration changed last

176
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: minute without their permission. So so many of those things

177
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: are happening. And then the overall jerrymandering that has happened.

178
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: They tried to do that with cop County. It did

179
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: not work. Kudos to cop County. We're talking about Marietta, Georgia,

180
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: Ostell Mapleton for some of y'all who don't know it's

181
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: where the Brave Stadium is now because it's not in Atlanta. Anyway,

182
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: they flipped and I love to see that. Of course,

183
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: to act as if we as a state gave up

184
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: is an insult for those who have put in the

185
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: work and who will continue to put in the work.

186
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about black women specifically. Atlanta. Georgia has

187
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: been a force because of black women. Please don't insult

188
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: them like that. You can be angry at the people

189
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: who are outside of the metro areas and such. You

190
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,359
Speaker 1: can also be angry at the politicians and the policymakers

191
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: trying and doing their damnedest to make sure that they

192
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: suppressed votes, for sure, but don't insult the work of

193
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: the women, the work of the people who have been

194
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: fighting to make change here in the state. Members are

195
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: swirling that Marjorie tail Green will try to take John

196
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: Ossov's seat in the US Senate, and guarantee we will

197
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: be hungering down to make sure that doesn't happen. We

198
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: are hurting in this state. We are hurting just as

199
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: much as everyone else. We've been affected here and we

200
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: are tired, but we are still working. So please remember that.

201
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: Please remember that before people come in and negatively just

202
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: coming after everyone, because people have done so much work

203
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: to even get to that point. The misogyn noir is

204
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: really heavy and disgusting. Just FYI, check on your people. Sometimes.

205
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: Caring and loving other people and helping other people helps

206
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: us in our time of despair. So being able to

207
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: go outside of your own morning sometimes to check on

208
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: others is really really important and it keeps as a

209
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: community together. Go through your stages of grief, but check

210
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: on the other people who are there too. Andy, you have.

211
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: Thoughts, I mean I have a lot of thoughts.

212
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah enough. It is.

213
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: Honestly, growing up here in Georgia, I never would have

214
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 2: thought we would even been close to Swing State. So

215
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: I think, even given everything that happened that day, which

216
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: by the way, one of those bomb threats was coordinated

217
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: by Russia, that it was that close is amazing and

218
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: it is a testament to the work of black women.

219
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: And before everything unfolded, we were having this community. I

220
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: was texting back and forth with all my friends and

221
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: we were all worried and all of this, but a

222
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: lot of people from other countries were sending these messages

223
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: in all kinds of spaces, like ay, American women were

224
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: thinking of you, or just really kind things. So it

225
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: is very welcome. Something as small as that is very

226
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: welcomed in it is true like check on the people

227
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: in your life, and that can sometimes be hard to

228
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: manage when you're going through crisis. Then you have to

229
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: sort of balance that. But a lot of people I

230
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: know are going through crisis and even if it is

231
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: just like hey, thinking of you, that that can mean

232
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: a lot of somebody.

233
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: Right And with that with things we don't know what

234
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: things will look like in the future, but for us

235
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: in this man day, this is what our thoughts are.

236
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: That we will keep fighting and speaking out as an

237
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: intersectional feminist show. We will do as the show has

238
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: always done, talk about the issues at hand, the history

239
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: of the people who have made change for the better

240
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: or for the worst, continuing to walk with you this journey.

241
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: And when I say the worst, and what I mean

242
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: is so that we don't forget the ugly history as well,

243
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: because that is just as important as the good history.

244
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: We know this, and again we know that critical race

245
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: theory has gotten so misconstrued as an attack instead of history,

246
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: which is interesting. But we are going to make sure

247
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: that we include all of that in the conversation. We

248
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: will continue to research and work in collaboration to dismantle

249
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: the oppressive system and to undo the misinformation and disinformation

250
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: that have helped to uphold the current oppressive systems. And

251
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: we want to hear from you, hear what you need

252
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: and what is important from you. But with that we

253
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: ask that you also be open to hear from others,

254
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: especially those in the marginalized communities, and be uncomfortable with

255
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: some hard truth that many of us want to pretend

256
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: doesn't exist or didn't realize it existed. Privilege exists, and

257
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: there is a hierarchy in the system. The question is

258
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: how is that privileged used and are you willing to

259
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: lose it for the sake of this community. I think

260
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: there's been a lot in conversation. Again, we're not coming

261
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: into this blame game. We're not coming into this with

262
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: like blaming or victimizing one group or any of that,

263
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: or villainizing another group. What we're wanting to do is

264
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: be honest, transparent, and open, and that includes making you

265
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. I know a chunk of our listeners are

266
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: white women. I have had women send emails to me

267
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: saying that they are upset with me for using the

268
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: word white women. I laugh because it kind of was like, huh,

269
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: but why are you offended by that term? You are

270
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: a white woman, obviously, if you're responding in a way

271
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: that you're offended that I refer to you that way,

272
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't think she listens anymore. I'm sure she doesn't

273
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: I'm a most she doesn't. But with that, we also

274
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: know that you have been trying to work for the

275
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: betterment of the entirety of the community, and you understand

276
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: what it takes to be an intersectional feminist. So I

277
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: will say, if terms like white women, or if terms

278
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: in which we ask why a chunk and majority of

279
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: and I know again it's not our listeners for the

280
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: most part, I would be shocked. I think we got

281
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: I think we like they let us go a long

282
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: time ago. But for those who voted for Trump, the

283
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: fact that it was majority white women once again, majority

284
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: of all white men, majority of Latino men, and I

285
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: guess Asian men now like what the that we have

286
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: to have these conversations of why people of color are

287
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: questioning allyship in general, why black women are having to

288
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: question everyone, and why so many people are okay with

289
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: their destruction, why women in general are okay with men

290
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: or a government owning our bodies, or why people of

291
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: color immigrants are like, nah, I'm one of the good ones.

292
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: I'll be fun here. Baby, You're about to be gone.

293
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: And I hate that for you, I hate that for

294
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: your family. I hate that we are in this place.

295
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: So with that as a person of empathy, As people

296
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: of empathy, we want to make sure not only not

297
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: only are we holding people accountable who are making questionable choices,

298
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: but we still want to fight for you, and we

299
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: asked the same with that, we asked that we all

300
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: still stand uncomfortably in this results that we did not

301
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: want and unite in order to You can't undo it,

302
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: I guess we can't really just make it better in

303
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: the future and try to do better for the future.

304
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: So listeners, we need to hear from you because we

305
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: have two so I guess technically five perspectives here Insminty,

306
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: which are great, but we need your perspective to so

307
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: be willing to talk to us about some things that

308
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: you think are important that we might not see, and

309
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: then be willing to listen to others that we may

310
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,080
