AOC’s Big Whiff & Canary Mission’s Big Break w/ Olayemi Olurin & Sophie Hurwitz (Ep 290)

A bad vote from AOC is giving Francesca chills about 2026 and 2028. If Democratic leaders can’t shake the liberal Zionist tendencies, the party (and Palestine) are doomed. Meanwhile, vigilante websites like Canary Mission get a new lease on doxxing as Trump’s DHS is using their database to disappear students like Rumeysa Ozturk and Mahmoud Khalil. Journalist Sophie Hurwitz joins to explain.  But first, Eric Adams continues to be trash as limps toward November, and commentator and movement lawyer Olayemi Olurin is here for all of it. Plus declassifying the … MLK Jr. files? There’s a bigger more racist plot afoot.  Featuring: Olayemi Olurin, lawyer, writer, and creator https://www.olayemiolurin.com/  Sophie Hurwitz, journalist at Grist and Instick https://sophiehurwitz.com/ Read Sophie's story here: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/07/canary-mission-israel-palestine-blacklist-university-trump-deportation-ozturk-khalil/  *** Watch Francesca’s latest video essay: “How Republicans FAILED The Texas Flood Victims” https://youtu.be/VaIgFgNOHzE *** Support The Bitchuation Room on Patreon so Francesca can do more of these long-form videos.
