Show Notes

Professor Charles Stanton and Kira Kramer discuss the Trump administration's impact on social justice, highlighting cuts to the Veterans Administration, which now forces therapists to conduct sessions in large, open rooms, compromising patient privacy. They also criticize the elimination of legal representation for migrant children and cuts to education and Medicaid, particularly affecting states that supported the president. The conversation touches on the broader societal issues of individualism, lack of government accountability, and the need for informed citizens to engage politically. They emphasize the importance of diverse news sources and civic engagement to counteract these challenges.
