Text Me Back! With Lindy West And Meagan Hatcher-Mays

This week, Lindy brings us tidings of the 20th century. Have y’all heard of this thing called a TypeWriter? It writes all kind of type!!And Meagan brings us Milwaukee Brewers (aka Seattle Pilots) tidings and acknowledges but declines to embrace the hypocrisy of rooting for a team that has dared to move away from Seattle. Unsurprisingly, we won’t be taking any questions or comments on the matter at this time.Plus, pull up a chair because we have a new segment we’re calling A Story To Tell. Which member of British Royalty did Meagan DM? Tune in to find out. Which king, queen, or nonbinary monarch are YOU bothering online?

Today we are joined by Doug Lindner, the Senior Director for Judiciary and Democracy Advocacy at the League of Conservation Voters! He helps us explore such important questions as: Was Hitler also a big ole dummy? Are we cooked RE democracy? Should we buy Trump Doubloons? And the big Q of the day: Is the Supreme Court…good? There’s no way, right??Doug lays bare some basic failures of the Supreme Court. The lack of ethics oversight or accountability. How billionaires are influencing justices. The “shadow docket” being used as a tool for the Republican agenda. Why we can’t just wait out this era.He also is deeply involved in democracy conservation, which means he shares actual viable solutions. Doug’s top advice: Bother your politicians about expanding and rebalancing the Supreme Court. Elect GOOD Democrats. Elect Democrats committed to bold swings. Don’t wait on the pendulum to swing back–Republicans have taken the pendulum off the damn clock. And we ask the perennial question: Who is the nicest person in congress? Tune in for nice stories about Jamie Raskin (Democrat Rep, Maryland), Sheldon Whitehouse (Democrat Senator, Rhode Island), and Hank Johnson (Democrat Rep, Georgia).Resources and actions:Follow @douglindner on bluesky - check out his pinned thread 🧵HOW TO CALL CONGRESS AND FIGHT FASCISM 🧵LCV.orgThe Scheme by Sheldon WhitehouseAlito harassing all of EnglandDistrict of Columbia v.

We are still riding the high of last week’s pledge drive! For everyone who tuned in for the live, you’re legally our children now and we love you. So many people upgraded their Patreon memberships, wrote in with bestie esstays, connected in the Discord, and brought so much joy to our week. Asking for support is hard! And you all made it easy for us. Guess we’ll keep making the pod :/Because last week was packed with the pledge drive AND THE LAUNCH OF SWAMP PERSON, we had to lay down. So we are sharing our recent pledge drive ep featuring Ronald Young, Jr. because we’re just big fans and watching him experience the Gino’s jingle for the first time is absolutely required reading/viewing/listening. Textmebackolytes standby for further activation on voting for Ronald for TOP HOST. Stay tuned to what he gets up to on instagram @ohitsbigron. Again, thank you to ALL of our big beautiful listeners. We’re so honored to have your support. The last bit of pledge drive business we’ll share along for the year is a reminder to:Send your bestie a text with a link to your favorite episode – get them involved with THIS.Tag us with any BFF content on socialsRate us 5 stars on Apple Podcasts (maybe you can helps us make it 800 5-star reviews???)Sign up, upgrade, or gift your bestie a subscription on Patreon!NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE?
