The Daily Whatever, April 25: Fucked-Up Friday with Walter Rhein
Join us every weekday at 10am ET/7am PT
Today was the debut of “Fucked-up Friday,” where we discuss the most fucked-up news of the week in friendly competition. We were joined by the incredible Walter Rhein for an engaging, earnest conversation about the reality that we’re facing down is ethnic cleansing—or more simply put, genocide— Walter’s suggestion as the most fucked-up news of the week. And really, all the fucked-up news really rolls up to that, doesn’t it?
Dana DuBois’ contribution was this horror: Barnard College staff alarmed by federal survey asking if they’re Jewish—and during Yom HaShoah, no less.
Lawrence Winnerman pick for most-fucked up news might be the winner, though—the news that RFK Jr wants an autism registry of American citizens who have autism.
Thank you Sally Prag, Karen Marie Shelton, Randy ballard, and many others for tuning in!
Please join us again tomorrow at 12pm ET/9am PT for the next Daily Whatever.
Love you, mean it!
