    Special Thursday Show with Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez
    Jul 4 2025
    Whelp, the GOP finally did it. The House just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, and millions of Americans are going to suffer as a result. Happy Birthday America! Hope you enjoy losing your healthcare and fascism. It’s not all bad though, because this bill also kills all the incentives for green energy in the U.S. At this point, let’s get the climate apocalypse here ASAP. As ICE becomes completely lawless under the authoritarian Trump regime, we need direct action in resistance. Francesca had a conversation with Los Angeles City Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez about the increasing violence from ICE in LA, and the ways he is taking action to build effective resistance. Speaking of ICE, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in the U.S. but still under detention. And we are learning exactly how messed up CECOT is. Kilmar confirmed that he was mentally and physically tortured while at CECOT. And don’t forget that there are still so many immigrants that were sent there illegally who are still stuck under those conditions. All the while, the American gestapo is trying to deport Kilmar AGAIN.

  • TYT's Sad Demise & Ron DeSantis Building "Alligator Alcatraz?" with The Vanguard

    TYT's Sad Demise & Ron DeSantis Building "Alligator Alcatraz?" with The Vanguard
    Jun 29 2025
    With all the insanity going on in the world right now, sometimes you need to take a break, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the Drama. Gavin and Zac from The Vanguard joined Francesca to talk TYT's Cenk and Ana insisting that the right is antiwar and better for coalition-building than leftists. Also, are tourists being kicked out of the U.S. over JD Vance memes? If this is grounds for deportation, then we all may find ourselves in a Salvadoran gulag. But if that ends up being too inconvenient for this regime, maybe you will just end up in Alligator Alcatraz… What exactly is that? Ron Desantis would love to tell you more about it! Then there is Zohran’s win in New York City. While the rest of us celebrating his victory, one New York senator is spreading Islamophobic nonsense about Mamdani. This is Democratic senator Kirsten Gillibrand, proving yet again that it is time to primary all these terrible Dems. And The Supreme Court decides to drop a bunch of devastating rulings before heading over to Harlan Crow’s vacation estate for the summer! Now with brand new World War II German memorabilia.
