April 11, 2013

Feminsting Executive Editor and Fast Food Forward organizer, Samhita Mukhopadhyay, explained the importance of the living wage movement spearheaded by fast food workers in New york City, the danger of how we frame poverty in America, Michelle Obama’s powerful recent speech on guns violence and opportunity and how Anonymous is helping expose rape culture.

On The Better Half: Republicans use Obama’s Chained CPI proposal against him, a Gay man arrested for trying to stay with his partner at the hospital, how the media covers North Korea and Iran and your calls and IMs.
