The pearl clutching about “cancel culture” and “censorship” has become louder and more absurd while also getting more and more play in the media. Journalists Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi see this panic for what it is though: a grift. They take a closer look at these temper tantrums, dispelling myths, laughing at the most outrageous takes, and shedding light on which perspectives are actually being suppressed and left out of the conversation.

Progressives on the left and the more mainstream #resistance may disagree over policy. But there’s one practice upon which they agree: Democrats need to stop complying in advance and start fighting back against Trump 2.0. “Fighting back,” however, automatically assumes a reactionary approach, according to congressional hopeful Kat Abughazaleh. The former journalist and influencer is taking a proactive approach to her Illinois 9th congressional district primary campaign, filling her potential constituents’ basic material needs while working to earn their votes. “The only way to fight fascism is loudly, proudly, and every single day,” Abughazaleh says. No wonder she’s drawing comparisons to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
This week, Katelyn and Christine interview Abughazaleh about why she decided to run for Congress and how she’s building out a unique mutual aid-style campaign to help her connect with the voters in her district. Abughazaleh hopes to bring this style and substance to Washington, transforming how Democrats do politics. “You don't have to just do lip service. You don't just have to, promise a bunch of shit and then not deliver,” she says. “You could be helping people right now.” Watch the full discussion on Cancel Me, Daddy’s YouTube channel!
