Join Francesca Fiorentini and friends for a special LIVE edition of The Bitchuation Room podcast. One part comedy, one part news, and one part scheming for the revolution, The Bitchuation Room is a thoughtful look at leftist politics with a heavy dose of humor. More about the show…Portland has been the epicenter of the West Coast&#x27;s BLM movement, and a place where white supremacists have long been coddled by law enforcement, reminding us that Crusader cosplay is best done in one’s basement. The Bitchuation Room LIVE welcomes civil rights strategist Eric K Ward (Western States Center &amp; SPLC) to understand the rise of hate groups in the Pacific Northwest and how to stop them, as well as local artist, journalist and activist Mac Smiff, who was shot in the head with an impact munition by federal agents while attending a BLM demonstration in the summer of 2020. Also with Francesca is stand-up comedian Matt Lieb of Good Mythical Morning and the podcast Pod Yourself A Gun.Francesca Fiorentini is a correspondent and comedian best known for appearing on The Young Turks Network, and AJ+’s Newsbroke. In 2020, MSBNC aired her hour-long special on healthcare in America called “Red White and Who?”. As a comedian she has performed across the country and has been heard on the Behind the Bastards Podcast, The Daily Zeitgeist, The New Abnormal and Lovett Or Leave It.
