Ale is back and bolder than ever! This week we sat down with Immigrant Rights and Reproductive Justice Activist Sor Ale BKA Alejandra Pablos. We're overjoyed that our dear friend is back on the mic to break down what we must do to keep our people out of the hands of ICE and how to support people who are returning home from prisons.

The Supreme Court is making awful decisions, and we think you should know so you can do whatever you need to do to be prepared for the fire this time. Anthony Kennedy, if you’re reading this, you really f#$d us! Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, if you are reading this, you’re on our prayer list. Anyway, Jamie Foxx managed to be a terrible comedian and host. Dame Dash proved to be the true supreme in confronting Lee Daniels for doing what Monique been told yall Daniels was doing--not paying what he owes. But all is well for Black Women da Gods and may the Nancy Pelosi's and Permit Patties of the world fail.

It's Pride! And we are celebrating 20 years of Black Lesbian Power with a Supreme real one trill one Jasmine Burnett who has a tutorial you don't want to miss!

The #BlackJoyMixtape is BACK and about to be a big sister! We have a new show for you in partnership with Stitcher Premium coming later this summer! Despite all our hard work and being named Essence's #Woke100, white people haven't gained any self-control. They are calling the police unnecessarily, they are on the eve of a potential world war, and they are adamant about keeping Black mamas in cages this Mama's Day. We won't stand for it! We can free Black Mamas in the DMV by going to bit.ly/Dmvbailout

Amber and Jazmine have been doing the absolute most this month. Not only have they been traveling across the country for work and play, but Jazmine woke up early one morning to conquer evil and it wasn't even Easter yet. This week we talk about how differences in Black liberation practices are showing up in the Movement for Black Lives, why Howard University needs to pay what they owe, and how Black women continue to go first and show us what liberation looks in real life! Remember, just because white have lost it, doesn't mean we have to, Black folks.

Your favorite news and politics podcast are warriors whose commentary is deeply rooted with the creatives who are daring enough to remind us that we have the right to be here no matter what. They are trying to convince us otherwise. They are liars. Alejandra Pablos, our Sor Ale, has been wrongfully detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She is being held with no bond because the Supreme Court ruled that immigrants who is detained do not have the right to bail. This system is actively working to makes us believe that we nor our immigrant sibling do not deserve dignity. This is a lie. We fight.

Your fav news and politics podcast #BlackJoyMixtape went to see Black Panther and got inspired to talk about how our communities have Wakanda potential, but white people are really trying to ruin this for us with gentrification, harvest boxes without actual harvests, and compromising our access to clean water and food. But all is not lost, we still prevailed over triflin exes and saw an ill pre screening of Giants. Make sure you follow along using the hashtag, #BlackJoyMixtape.
