Hysteria

"Beyond the Hashtag"

This week Erin Ryan, Alyssa Mastromonaco, Rheeqrheeq Chainey, Julissa Arce, and Shaniqua McClendon discuss the emotional impact of nationwide protests against police brutality and systemic racism. How do we advocate for police reform in a way that actually helps? What’s the difference between being a real activist and just playing one on instagram? And how can Kpop fans show us the way? And finally: Sanity Corner. If you’re able to donate, here’s how to support people and groups protesting police violence and working to combat racism and injustice: Go to <a href="http://crooked.com/bailfunds">crooked.com/bailfunds</a> to support community bail funds around the country, and go to <a href="http://crooked.com/changefunds">crooked.com/changefunds</a> to support 11 groups fighting racism and police brutality.

Political commentator and comedy writer Erin Ryan and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco are joined by a bicoastal squad of funny, opinionated women to talk through everything from reproductive rights to romcoms. They break down the political news of the week, plus the topics, trends, and cultural stories that affect women’s lives.
