A black academic is dead, while Andrew Tate gets a MAGA lawyer to defend his crimes. Hakeem Jeffries rejects Medicare for All and Jared Kushner tells Israel to “finish the job”. Francesca is joined by Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report to talk about why the British press is so vicious and how Peter Thiel fascists are behind the deadly anti-DEI backlash.
