    America’s Astrology Is Wild RN w/ Chani Nicholas *Teaser*

    24-05-2026 | 19 Min.
    *This is a sneak preview of an hour-long interview that gets into everything from Francesca’s astrological chart, to the planetary parallels between current racist policies and the birth of the KKK.

    What does Trump’s astrological chart have to do with how America seems to be dying on its 250th birthday….? Hmmm…  And when planets change locations for the first time in decades, what does that say about how WE need to change? Why are all the psychos born on eclipses? So many questions, so many stars.

    Even if you’re not an astrology fan, don’t worry it’s just astronomy for magical people. And in this episode of Hot Button Francesca brings you someone who melds politics and the planets: Chani Nicholas. Chani is an author and activist, whose brand of astrology is both personally and collectively helpful in these trying times. She has an app called the Chani App, a podcast called “Astrology for the Week Ahead” and is the author of “You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance”. 

    Francesca finds out about her own personal chart– hello warrior goddess–and why Scorpio moon makes her so damn intense! She and Chani discuss how transformative 2025 was, how Republicans gerrymandering the South mirrors previous moments in planetary history, the upcoming midterms, and how the astrology of the next seven years spell a critical time in world history for change. Whether it’s change for good or bad is up to us!

    New Deals, New Democrats w/Saikat Chakrabarti (Ep 332)

    19-05-2026 | 1 u. 45 Min.
    A $1.7 billion “retribution” fund for Jan 6ers is set up while SNAP benefits get cut while Trump critics lose their elections — the cult is real and total loyalty is required. Plus: a California judge has permanently banned Kars4Kids from the airwaves…for being a pro-Israel op the whole time?! I coulda told you that.

    Then, he co-founded Justice Democrats, helped elect the Squad, and served as AOC's chief of staff — now Saikat Chakrabarti is running for Congress in San Francisco's 11th district. We talk about being a class traitor, public ownership of AI, fighting fascism from inside Congress, and why crypto billionaires are already cutting ads against him.

    Featuring: Saikat Chakrabarti (52:32), co-founder of Justice Democrats and former Chief of Staff to AOC, candidate for Congress in California's 11th district

    What Went Down Inside Black Lives Matter w/ Melina Abdullah *TEASER*

    17-05-2026 | 18 Min.
    *This is a sneak preview of an hour-long interview that gets into everything from the hijacking of BLM, the backlash to it, to how Zohran won, and whether No Kings is effective. To get access to the full interview, please click the JOIN button and become a member on YouTube, or become a patron www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.*

    And how does the movement keep going?

    It has been six years since the uprising over the murder of George Floyd, and yet police are still killing Americans at a terrifying rate. Less than 3 percent of the officers involved in these deaths are ever charged with a crime. And now, there’s ICE.

    On this supporter-exclusive episode of Hot Button, we’re joined by activist and educator Dr. Melina who has been on the frontlines of the Los Angeles Black Lives Matter Grassroots ever since 2014. She sits down with Francesca to talk about how the movement has changed shape and her hopes for the future.

    How did the media warp the BLM narrative and create broader backlash? What were the missteps within the organization and organizers that led to an ugly fallout? How are chapters of Black Lives Matter Grassroots still working around the country to get justice? 

    Abdullah was in the formative meetings of BLM and has thoughts on how those running the 501c3 ‘hijacked’ the money and the good name of Black Lives Matter.

    Beyond that, they talk about trying to defend progressive DAs in cities around the country, how Trumpism can be an opportunity for change, and the importance of coalition building even with more liberal entities like the No Kings rallies under Trump 2.0.

    Xi Disses Trump, Israel's Prisoner Abuse & Ana Is Colorblind w/ Emma Vigeland

    14-05-2026 | 1 u. 33 Min.
    Trump and a bunch of billionaires go to China to cut deals for themselves, while Chuck Schumer fumes about not being more belligerent towards Xi. Meanwhile Xi himself sneak-disses the fall of the American Empire with a reference to the Thucydides Trap. Okay, Athenian scholar!

    Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report joins to talk about whether it's punching down to make fun of medically stupid MAGA supporters, and Nicholas Kristoff's latest piece for the NYTimes on systematic sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners. Finally, a little look down the Kasparian-hole in her latest interview with Myriam François on how she wants to stop talking about race. Excuse us Ana, we were never sure you started?

    Confederacy Of Dunces w/ Jack Cocchiarella & Brandie Posey (Ep 331)

    13-05-2026 | 1 u. 54 Min.
    Two Dutch tourists and a MAHA CDC director walk into a bar…  and we wonder why a pathogen always jumps to humans when Trump is in office. Mother nature knows. Commentator Jack Cocchiarella is live in studio to break down Hantavirus to the redistricting virus spreading across the South.  Maybe we should have finished that Reconstruction. It’s in the name! 

    Plus, comedian Brandie Posey joins to talk about the Roast of Kevin Hart cutting a little too close to the bone, Trump's inflation surge, and AOC saying she won't work with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Good on her but also, can she take a stronger lead on Palestine?  

    Featuring: Brandie Posey, comedian, record label owner, and co-host of Lady to Lady (08:11) https://www.instagram.com/brandazzle/ Watch Milk Job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keeGXF8Ajms

    Jack Cocchiarella, progressive political commentator and host of The Jack Cocchiarella Show, https://www.youtube.com/@JackCocchiarellaShow
