2024/11/27

This year, many of us are struggling to find gratitude. Perhaps we can find it in the story of Sara Josepha Hale, the women who made it her life's mission to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. She had to face a nation in civil war, a president in crisis, the passage of time, and the apathy of power. Nevertheless, she persisted. We too, shall persist. Our fights are not new, and they will not be won overnight. But they will be won. In what has become a Thanksgiving tradition at Sorry Not

After the Election: Brief Reflections on Resilience...

Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry ·

2024/11/11

Friends, it's a hard week. We lost, badly, and we learned more than we wanted to know about our neighbors. History gives us a lesson or two on what befalls those who govern with hate and abuses of power, and the resilience of the people who suffer under them. They are lessons Trump would do well to remember, if only he was capable of learning them.

Last Chance: Election 2024

2024/11/04

The election is this week. The choice is yours: do we elect a convicted felon who has been adjudicated responsible for rape, who tried to overthrow the government, who pushed the Supreme Court to a never-before-seen level of extremism, who has threatened journalists, Democrats, his opponent, and others with violence, who promises economic and immigration plans that will cause incredible chaos and harm and almost certainly crash the economy, and who has based his campaign on hate for women, trans

Nathan Robinson on the Myth of American Idealism

Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry ·

2024/10/28

For most of the past 200 years, the United States has held itself in a nearly mythical esteem–and sometimes, used that esteem to justify doing terrible things in the name of the greater good. In their new book The Myth of American Idealism: How U.S. Foreign Policy Endangers the World, Noam Chomsky and Nathan Robinson confront that ideology and its dangerous global effects. Robinson joins us this week to discuss.

2024/09/30

JD Vance made some news recently when he decried “childless cat ladies” as the downfall of America. And while that is a clearly ridiculous statement on its face, it does cut to something true in our culture: women are expected to have kids, whether they want them or not. Our guest this week, Therese Shechter is a leading voice in the childfree movement. She is a member of the Alliance of Childfree Voters which is a non-partisan coalition fighting for visibility and policy priorities for people

2024/09/09

As the American right becomes more and more authoritarian, it is attempting to rewrite history. From its claims that the United States isn’t a democracy to its attempts to remove books from libraries and rewrite curricula, the reshaping of the past risks our future.

2024/09/02

For the Labor Day holiday, we're revisiting a critical bit of ongoing organizing happening in the United States. One of the interesting side effects of the post-Covid economy has been a surge in the power and influence employees hold. Wages in service industry jobs have risen dramatically as employers struggle to find workers. However, there have also been increasing stories of worker exploitation, leading to a surge in new unionization efforts. To discuss all of it, we’ve invited Michelle

2024/08/12

On January 20th, 2001, Donald Trump left Washington in disgrace. After losing the election, losing every court case related to the election, his supporters attacking the capitol, and his second impeachment, it should have been for good. Yet somehow, in his years of exile, he solidified his power base and may well retake the white house. Politico’s Meridith McGraw was in constant touch with Trump’s inner circle during this time, and her new book Trump in Exile examines how it happened.

2024/08/05

There are more guns than people in the United States. About half of the guns in the world are owned by Americans. About 45,000 Americans die from gunshot wounds each year, and more than 100,000 survive shootings. We view guns as inherently masculine, and there is distinct racial coding in how we perceive guns and gun use in this country. Still the fastest growing demographic of gun owners is women, and Black women in particular. In a new essay on the Everand platform called “Stand Your Ground: A

Project 2025: What's at Stake?

Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry ·

2024/07/15

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is a Trump-aligned nightmare that the extreme right wants to enact if Trump is re-elected. It is a wide-ranging reshaping of our society in a mold that leaves us wondering if “Under his eye” will be the new “see you later” should it come to pass. This week, we’re looking back at just a few of our former guests to show some of what’s at stake. We hear from Amanda Zurawski, Kate Brookes, Tim Alberta, and Sadvhi Siddhali and Sadvhi Annabhuti.
