The Nomiki Show

“Democrats, God put you on this earth to spend government money on the disadvantaged. Now, please go do it.”

I didn't say that. Someone I would rarely quote said it. David Brooks, that mushy middle, kumbaya singing columnist from the New York Times said it. When Brooks and Bernie Sanders agree on something it’s worth discussing why.

The response to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sharing her deeply personal experience with sexual trauma has been troubling. It comes from both the right and the left, and it reeks of misogyny. We need to call it out. Ana Kasparian, host of TYT and Jacobin's Weekends joins the show to discuss.

And later, The Bitchuation Room's Francesca Fiorentini breaks down the news of the day, including Joe Biden's plan to end all offensive support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen, Cori Bush’s powerful speech on the floor of Congress, Ilhan Omar pushing for the abolishment of student loan debt, a new bill in Nevada that would allow tech companies to create governments(!), and Francesca gives her take on a certain part of the left that is building their platforms by attacking progressives like AOC.
