Like Kaepernick with the NFL, Carano has made public statements that has made her employer, Disney, feel forced into firing her from the acclaimed Disney+ series The Mandalorian. Is free speech under attack?  Is Disney in the right to fire Carano? And how is Ben Shapiro involved in all of this?

We go through a list of triggering statements made by our Gen Z allies  to rip our Millennial hearts apart.

Almost like this is out of a retold science fiction dystopia novel,  Nevada, wanting to capitalize off of the big tech move, is allowing tech  companies the ability to form their own governments if they move to  Nevada. Do we really want to allow states to create their own vassals  and relive Feudalism all over again?

Three million people live in the capitol but have no state  representation to speak of; simultaneously, there are states that have  less than one million in population numbers yet have senatorial and  house representation. It is high time to allow these citizens the  ability to also have legislative powers, but Republicans are afraid of  losing more power by democratizing D.C. and oppose statehood. Further...

Many years after Google decided to remove their "do not be evil"  clause from their mission statement, Google believes it is OK to develop  new A.I. research without any form of technology ethics research.  Certainly nothing bad or disastrous can occur because of this.

The lies regarding election fraud have gotten completely out of control  to the point corporations are being affected by these lies. Now voting  machine companies are eying to get financial payback for all the lost  business they have received because of the negligent reporting from  right-wing media moguls. Where can Fox News go from here? Will they be  able to last now that one third of their audience has been lost? Further...

General Motors has made the ambitious claim to go carbon neutral by the time the U.S. Government plans to go carbon neutral. Slow down there GM,  that's way too ambitious!

It's the heartwarming story of a tale of overworked nurses, fighting a  horrifying pandemic, who have priceless vaccines about to expire and how they desperately try to find anyone who want a free injection from a  stranger in a filthy rich society that does not guarantee universal healthcare to all of its citizens. Hallmark is already working on the movie rights. Further...

It is a sad day to know that 46% of Americans do not believe mainstream news outlets. That being said, I cannot blame them when we have witnessed a week of bootlicking trying to defend the billionaire class against the Redditors who are destroying in the Gamestonk War. Listen to us give advice to billionaires as they lose billions of dollars for reasons that I wish I could make up. Further...

If you ever played a glitchy video game, you may have encountered a  patch to make said game less glitchy. That is typically a good thing.  recently Robin Hood (own by Citadel who also owns Melvin Capital)  released a patch that made the stock "game" easier for the veteran  players who win all the time and harder for the new players who realized  how the stock "game" worked. If a game developer did that to their  player base, you might guess that the developer would be heavily  scrutinized;...

What has this guy ever done that is good? Seriously. I'm seriously  trying to think of one thing this guy has done that has made a positive  impact on this country for the majority of Americans, and nothing comes  to mind. Not only can I think of anything positive this guy has done as a  politician, the more I think about him and visualize his face the more I  start to get angry for no reason other than knowing a face like his  exists. seriously Texas, why do you continue to elect this guy?...

The prodigal child of the neoliberal Democratic Party returns to be  showered with eventual praise as years of neglect on America's  infrastructure will, almost certainly, be addressed during Biden's term  as president. these changes will occur regardless of who the secretary  is, but it sure would be great to set up the establishment's favorite  young honky-dorey neoliberal for the hand-me-down success to run for  President at some point in the future. We all win! #wealllose ©2020...

Does mining for resources deep in the earth whilst contaminating water  supplies and the soil spell doom or are we just alarmists?

What we learned from yesterday is that the internet is a loving but  unforgiving creature. Any sign of weakness in front of its eyes will  spell certain societal doom for anyone.

The democratic socialist from Vermont, once again, takes the internet by  storm. What did he do to accomplish this? he wore recycled plastic-made  mittens and looked grumpy during Biden's Inauguration. What a legend. ©2020   Commoner Public Radio Network.

The establishment is already coming after outsiders seeking major  offices. Andrew Yang is likely to cast a mayoral bid for New York City,  which is a large enough municipality to apply a lot of his  forward-thinking ideas. However, the establishment is not all that happy  or excited about Yang, and have decided to address some early  criticisms against Yang. What are they going after Yang for? Is it  policies related to automation, or monthly dividends, technological  growth, or something...

Fascism lost! WOOOOOO! Now we can go back to standardized Neoliberal  leadership! YAY! In all seriousness, while this upcoming administration  will have its multitude of issues that we at "in the clear" will  certainly address, yesterday marks a major achievement for Democracy.  Defeating Trump's attempt to steal the election via voter suppression  and by force is a first step to repair so much of the damage caused by  his administration. And, while no progressive is excited about this...

What happens when a large portion of government employees feel proud to share their fascist allegiances or ideologies amongst their coworkers?  The same that happens to all fascist groups that go unquestioned and face no opposition whatsoever--they try to take over the world! Sean  O'Mara joins us to discuss the popularity of mainstream fascism in  America and why it has become so appealing to a large percentage of the country. Hosts: Graham Jenkins and Joe Leonard.  Prager U's General Lee...

America, on the eve of Biden's inauguration, eerily awaits what is to come. So much insanity has accumulated in the matter of one week, it is seemingly impossible to convey the entirety of horrific fascistic events that occurred . . . but not for lack of trying! Sean O'Mara joins us to have a fun conversation about the coup that America did not deserve and, certainly, did not need. Hosts: Graham Jenkins and Joe Leonard. ©2020   Commoner Public Radio Network.

America is finally coming to an understanding that the polarization of the two major political-ideological divides are so out of sync with one another that people are no genuinely debating what is the current reality we exist in. How do you convince someone who truly believes that  Communism has taken over this country? How can you have a productive dialogue with someone who believes Joe Biden is a Chinese puppet? For the most part, the Capitol Riot has proved the right-wing, as a whole,  no...

With Trump impeached a second time for insurrection charges we cannot forget that 147 Republicans are still in favor of subverting the will of the people to elect Joe Biden and are in favor of the fascist coup. The escalation of violence from the far-right and domestic terrorists has been identified as a clear and present danger by the FBI and is a direct result of their betrayal. They must be expelled. They must be held accountable. Hosts: Graham Jenkins and Joe Leonard. Guest: Sean...

The far-right has decided that they want civil war and are actively drafting and executing plans to make it happen. If this comes to fruition it will be completely unprecedented in modern times. No, we won't be fighting a war between states, but insurgent groups headed by the Proud Boys and other fascist terrorist militias will be committing acts of extreme violence all over these united states fueled by conspiracy theories of a stolen election and a belief that communists have taken over...
