    Cuban Solidarity Grows and Beating AIPAC w/ Cori Bush & Christy Thornton (Ep 325)
    Mar 25 2026
    Spring break? Don't worry about missing your flight, 'cause Trump made sure to send thousands of alcoholics to stand around and play Candy Crush in the nation's busiest airports. Plus, why are right-wingers freaking out about Hasan Piker’s "5 star" Cuban hotel stay? Professor Christy Thornton (14:45), fresh back from a solidarity-humanitarian mission to Cuba breaks down the misinformation and explains just how existential this current crisis is to the country. Get involved with the National Network on Cuba to join a solidarity mission yourself. Then, former congresswoman (and future congresswoman!) Cori Bush (52:40) joins to talk about her campaign running against AIPAC-backed Wesley Bell. She talks about her agenda if elected back into office, as well as lessons learned for Democrats from 2021 to 2024. *** SUNDAY APRIL 5TH 7PM, Francesca and Matt Lieb will be LIVE in Vancouver, BC co-headlining Chill X Studios.

  • Surveillance Apocalypse w/ Jason Koebler & Caroline Kwan (Ep 324)

    Surveillance Apocalypse w/ Jason Koebler & Caroline Kwan (Ep 324)
    Mar 18 2026
    Are AI-powered cameras watching your every move? Journalist Jason Koebler from 404 Media joins to explain how a creepy company called “Flock” is partnering with ICE and police to build a nationwide database. Plus, we discuss how AI slop is destroying the internet and our economy. Then creator and streamer Caroline Kwan joins to talk warmongers, apolitical Oscar winners, and the first (perhaps only) Trump resignation: a counterterrorism director who’s had it with the war of choice on Iran. Is he a baddie or a baddie?

  • MIDRIFFS AND GROYPERS with Francesca and Emma Vigeland

    MIDRIFFS AND GROYPERS with Francesca and Emma Vigeland
    Mar 13 2026
    Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report joined Francesca on The Bitchuation Room to talk about the nonsense and the news. The right wing freaks are losing their minds over Rama Duwaji, The First Lady of NYC. She had the audacity to like some Instagram posts that said the occupation of Gaza is bad! Even worse, she exposed her midriff in a picture. The horny… I mean, the horror! While distracted by the start of the newest forever war in Iran, the DOJ released files of a credible accusation against Trump by a 14-year-old girl. Why are MAGA mouthpieces so unable to even address these allegations? Also, what is going on with Gen Z men? Why has an entire generation of dudes turned into young Republicans? Except now they are groypers who are straight up nationalists, like former hedge fund manager James Fishback who is running for governor of Florida. And finally, let’s get some shoes! Specifically, the $145 Florsheim dress shoes that Donald Trump is forcing all the men in his cabinet to wear, no matter if they fit or not. I love this for them. The Bitchuation Room LIVE in Los Angeles with Emma Vigeland is SOLD OUT for Sunday March 22nd at Dynasty Typewriter.
