Description: Our prayers are with the families of those with loved ones in Rafah, but most importantly our calls to action are too. Where do we go from here, y’all? This week hosts Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany Cross ask how many red lines have to be crossed before the Biden Administration takes meaningful action.    Speaking of Biden, there’s growing panic within the Democratic Party over increasing signs that the President is STRUGGLING to gain a lead in the 2024 election over white-supremacist and would-be-tyrant Donald Trump. The hosts look at the “signs” and debate the usefulness of election polling.      And in this week’s deep dive, the hosts respond to listener questions about folks in the community who question voting for Biden and who his base really is. We know y’all are struggling with this year’s presidential election and the feeling that folks have to choose between “the lesser of two evils”. The hosts navigate this struggle for themselves—IN REAL TIME—and offer some tips on how to talk to friends and family about it.    Gaza has been in the news a lot lately, including some truly horrific videos that have been coming from Rafah this last week. Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue his assault on the city despite the civilian casualties and increasing condemnation from the international community. So, what are we going to do about it?? SOMETHING. The call to act is upon us.    Sign the petition to support a presidential pardon for Marilyn Mosby at justiceformarilynmosby.com…yep, STILL.    Take part in our NLP poll by clicking here.   We are 159 days away from the election.
