How The Last Fifty Years Treated Women Who Spoke Out Against Assault

As accusations of assault come forward against Donald Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by Professor Christine Blasey Ford and now at least one other woman, a caller joins the program to discuss how the last fifty years treated women and girls who spoke out against their assaulters. Kavanaugh's nomination could swing our response as a society all the way back to the 1950s and erase the work of the MeToo Movement.

The Progressive Hippocratic Oath: On Not Working With Trump To Do Harm

Some Democrats are suggesting working with Republicans to get things done. One poster from Democratic Underground posted what we at the Thom Hartmann Program are calling the "Progressive Hippocratic Oath" which lists out where progressives are not working with Republicans, the Trump administration or anyone else. These include working to lessen the rights of African Americans, the LGBT population, to give banks more profit at the expense of the people. In short, progressives are not willing to work with anyone to do any harm. In the age where our political divide is often talked about needing to be bridged, do you agree with this list or do you want to walk across the aisle?

Will Our Daughters Pay The Ultimate Price For Criminalizing Abortions?

As the Republicans move to approve Donald Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, people who may need to seek out abortion are scared because Kavanaugh will remove the protections of Roe vs Wade should he ever get the power. One caller fears that just as our mothers and grandmothers paid the ultimate price for the criminalization of abortion, the nomination of Kavanaugh or any other Donald Trump Supreme Court pick will have our daughters paying that same price too.

Will Kavanaugh be a member of the Supreme Court? Will Roe v. Wade be overturned? And will we one day see the return of women, girls, trans men and all seeking abortion care, paying the ultimate price for the medical procedure's criminalization?

Is Donald Trump's Stupidity A National Security Threat?

Donald Trump in response to the devastating impact of hurricane Florence amounts to “water is wet” and hurricanes are bad. Is Donald Trump’s stupidity a national security threat or is focusing on Donald Trump’s intelligence leading us away from actual material criticism of the administration and what it reveals about our country?

Why Survivor's Don't Come Forward
[[w/Guest Maya Raghu)

In the wake of Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's sexual assault allegations by multiple women, Republicans are asking "Why didn't Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and others come forward earlier?" in an effort to discredit the stories of survivors of sexual violence by powerful men. To answer why survivors and victims of sexual assault don't often come forward, we speak with Maya Raghu the Director of Workplace Equality and Senior Council for the National Women's Law Center who sheds a light on how pervasive and powerful rape culture and patriarchy are and how those intersect with the enforcement of law and vulnerable populations like women, African Americans, the LGBT+ and immigrants, resulting often in silence of abused and victimized populations.

Maya Raghu is participating a national walk out in solidarity with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

Can Democracy Co-exist With Billionaires?

Can democracy exist alongside billionaires or should the question be rephrased to "Can democracy survive the existence of billionaires?" The problem of oligarchy is not being discussed, could this be because the billionaires own or are increasingly interested in owning the "free" press? Is the problem not to say that billionaires should not be able buy media but that billionaires should not exist?
