#057 - The Big Con(gress) 3 - Side B

We know you’ve all been waiting patiently for Side B of the Big Con(gress) 3, and it’s finally here! As a reminder, this series reflects our ongoing exploration of that putrid cesspool on the Potomac, the United States Congress, and this episode is focused on the ongoing genocide in Palestine. With us again is Andrew Myslik, a former congressional staffer and our man in Washington.

In Side B, Don refreshes the episode with a newly recorded intro segment that both fills in for the time-lag since Side A dropped and issues a warning against forgetting. The forces of forgetting would like to keep all of us, and all of you, distracted and unable to focus on any of the atrocities being carried out in our name with our money. We must resist that urge.

Picking back up with the back end of Don’s and Andrew’s conversation, then, Andrew walks through the process whereby a meager number of members of Congress joined with Rashida, Cori Bush, and others to call for a ceasefire. We consider what it means that this issue divides not only “Democrats,” but even “Progressives” in Congress, as the lies have the upper hand on the truth by a longshot. Finally, we ruminate on the meaning of the recent right-wing embrace of anti-genocide rhetoric with the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene taking the torch and expressing compassion for Palestinians in Gaza while calling for the torture and imprisonment of Latin Americans here in the U.S. The left cannot let these Nazis occupy the anti-genocide lane, but what can we do to stop them? Join us as we ponder this and many other questions.

This episode is just as timely today as it was when recorded last month. Enjoy!
