Twitter's post on the suspension of @realDonaldTrump: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html

The ladies discuss the police response to Trump supporters storming the US Capitol Building and, following impeachment and a Twitter ban, why it took so long for people to recognise the dangers of Trump’s narrative and acknowledge the existence of white privilege in America, whether a new baby is enough of a gift or if women should be rewarded for the pain of labour with a push present, a new petition for the UK government to create a racial offenders register and whether we can trust companies to use the data fairly in practice, and if you can really fall in love with someone you put in the friend zone. Guest starring Marisha Pink, Author, Entrepreneur and Co-Founder of United Melanin Group.

Music by GC

In a break from our usual cadence to address the events that occurred at the Capitol on January 6, political commentator Mary Katharine Ham has a candid discussion with TMF President Ryan Manion on First Amendment protections in the United States, social media and big tech, the role of the individual in creating a country he or she wants to see, and what it takes to put meaning behind the calls for unity.
