TLPP: The Radicalist David Josef Volodzko on the New Yorker's Racist Writers

Today I’m joined by ⁠The Radicalist⁠ David Josef Volodzko, news editor and senior writer at ⁠The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression⁠. If you have the means, ⁠FIRE⁠ is a great place to donate your money to. (Don’t let the fact that I used to work for them sully your view of ⁠the premiere free-speech organization in the world⁠.) David and I talk about his list of The New Yorker’s ⁠racist⁠ ⁠staff⁠ writers, whether a hunger for ass makes one Black, Raja Jackson, and the curse my children put on me. I’m trying to forget the awful Thalidomide metaphor I made during the episode. It’s not working. So here’s my definition of Latinx — a word which, according to the center-left think tank ⁠Third Way⁠, Democrats should stop using. I’m going to strike Thalidomide from my vocabulary as well.
