Because who doesn't love talking about the 1st Amendment right? The is the first of a series where I discuss a specific amendment, my thoughts on the amendment, and some current stories that touch on the rights we have because of said amendment.

Jen the Libertarian ·

2018/09/06

My God has this week been exhausting and its not even done yet. Too much going on here writers. Too much. This episode I talk about the Kaepernick / Nike collaboration, the Kavanaugh SCOTUS confirmation hearing, the social media hearings, the Bannon invites / disinvites, the NYT anon op-ed, and Kim K's return to DC. I told you there's too many plotlines. Also I messed up - it was Laura Loomer who got the auctioneer treatment Link to the NYT anon op-ed

2018/09/03

Mance Rayder had me on his podcast to discuss my podcast on intersectionality and white guilt and since vacation / work / life has gotten in the way of me being able to record a new podcast I thought I'd share it here with you guys.

2016 Postmortem

Jen the Libertarian ·

2018/08/24

Well since everyone else refuses to properly postmortem 2016 I decided I'd do it for them. I talk about where the DNC, RNC, and LP went wrong and how not dealing with the aftermath of 2016 hasn't served any party well. I also go into a not entirely planned sorta deep dive on my thoughts on the Malice x Welch x Woods sit down (spoiler alert - I approve of this) Aforementioned Malice x Welch x Woods "Your Welcome" episode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvRk2CYVzx4

Toxic Intersectionality and White Guilt

Jen the Libertarian ·

2018/08/16

Because when you see someone write in to an advice column talking about their white guilt you have to go in on it a bit (or a lot). I discuss the idea and origin of intersectionality, a lovely piece by Kwame Anthony Appiah on the perils of labels and a horrible advice column on what to do about while guilt Kwame Anthony Appiah NYT piece - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/10/opinion/sunday/speak-for-yourself.html How Can I Cure My White Guilt"

Jen the Libertarian ·
