The Nomiki Show

Democracy is fragile, and in the United States today, one of the two major political parties wants to suppress democracy. The Republican Party can only survive by holding down voting by any means necessary. Nomikiopens today’s show by discussing the myths Republicans are spinning to try to suppress voting. Then, labor journalist and organizer Kim Kelly joins us live from Bessemer, Alabama to discuss the unionizing effort at Amazon, as well as labor issues more broadly. Finally, our fabulous Thursday panel with Arun Chaudhary and Rep. Chris Rabb break down President Biden’sfirst press conference.
