  • Summary

  • American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo

  • What’s the End Game Here? A Conversation with Jessica Mackler, President of Emily’s List

    What’s the End Game Here? A Conversation with Jessica Mackler, President of Emily’s List
    Feb 11 2025
    Stripping women of their rights has never been about one specific issue. It’s always been about control, and how you exercise control over women. But this war on women won’t just stop with us. Project 2025, which is being implemented line by line is about remaking society so it aligns better with one specific set of far right, nationalistic, religious values. The target is moving one, and these actions if not opposed, will end up harming everyone, because once you allow the government to strip one group of their freedoms, you inevitably open the door for them to strip everyone of their freedoms. That’s simply how it works. The mainstream media is a joke. Our country’s under attack and they aren’t even talking about it. Now, more than ever, we need to support those of us doing independent work bringing the public the truth when it’s increasingly difficult to find.

  • What is Happening?! A Conversation with Dr. Allison Gill

    What is Happening?! A Conversation with Dr. Allison Gill
    Feb 4 2025
    The amount of criminal activity, criminally adjacent behavior, unconstitutional oversteps, and just piss poor leadership that happened over the weekend is astonishing. We’re 14 days into this presidency and taking in information is drinking from a firehose - overwhelming and it hurts - but that’s the point. The Trump Administration is using a deliberate tactic to overwhelm the public with chaos and crisis in order to push through radical changes when people are too disoriented to effectively resist. This isn’t politics as usual. This is a full on attack on the American government and its people and we need to talk about it. The mainstream media is a joke. Our country is under attack and they aren’t even talking about it. Now, more than ever, we need to support the people doing independent work to bring the public the truth when it’s increasingly difficult to find. Help me be a counterweight to the lies and propaganda we’re drowning in. If you find worth in this work, please SUBSCRIBE to PoliticsGirl Premium.

    None of this is Normal. A Conversation with Andrea Chalupa
    Jan 28 2025
    Well, the Dictator has arrived and it’s self reliance time. We need to grow partner groups, our own media ecosystems, and thicker skin. As guest Andrea Chalupa, expert on dictatorships and authoritarian leaders says, we can grieve what happened to our country and that our institutions didn’t save us, but we can’t cling to the status quo or disconnect from society alone and depressed. There is a future where we return to freedom, but we need to work for it. So be visible, stand out, and show your humanity, because as Andrea says, “In an age of cruelty, empathy is an act of rebellion.” No. It’s not over The mainstream media is a joke. So now, more than ever, we need to support those doing independent work and bringing the truth when it’s harder and harder to find. Help people like me be a counterweight to the lies and propaganda.
