On Wednesday, the divisive conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on the first stop of his ‘American Comeback Tour’, where he invited students to engage him in political discussion. Kirk was the founder of the conservative nonprofit Turning Points USA and one of Donald Trump’s most powerful advocates, especially among young people. But his impact stretched far beyond the United States, as he leveraged social media to reinvent the right's image around the world. Today, we speak to Semafor political correspondent, David Weigel, about the blueprint Kirk pioneered for winning young minds to the conservative cause. Then, we speak to Daniel Ogoloma, who partnered with Kirk for a debate while he was a student at Oxford University. He tells us about his plan to bring Kirk’s ideas into Nigerian politics.

The 87th Texas legislature has yee'd its last haw, so we decided it was time for a slumber party game now that we can all actually sleep again. We invited Diana Gómez of Progress Texas and Mike Kanin of the Texas Observer to put on their jammies and join us for a (very chaste) game of Spin the Bottle. We determine which bills we'd like to make out with and which bills we wish got shoved in a locker or thrown in a dumpster or given an atomic wedgie. Also, mark your calendar for THIS Thursday, June 10 at 6:30pm when we will be hosting the Molly Awards for the Texas Observer!

Tuesday was opening day of the 87th Texas Legislature (also known as "nerd prom," according to state Capitol insiders). We revisit a conversation from our third episode ever (!) about the bills and the bees (aka how laws are made here in Texas) with friend and shero Stephanie Chiarello, founder of the Over the Lege comedy series. We also reflect on how much is different from the last Texas legislative session 2 years ago.

TODAY'S ACTION: Today is all about what some are calling the most important environmental race in the country -- Texas Railroad Commissioner (which actually has nothing to do with railroads and everything to do with oil and gas regulation). We're excited to attend a virtual fundraiser tonight for an awesome candidate -- Chrysta Castañeda. Plus, Erin Brockovich is going to speak! The event is at 5pm and you can get your ticket here: https://bit.ly/3ngxV7g If you can't attend the event, please do take a few minutes to learn about Chrysta and why the railroad commission is so important. And then share what you learned! I'm scared that without straight-ticket voting people will skip races like this that they might not know about. Here's a great video about Chrysta: https://www.facebook.com/ChrystaForTexas/videos/437130960532402/ Here's an article about why this position is so important for the environment: https://newrepublic.com/article/158981/chrysta-castaneda-texas-railroad-commission-2020-election-climate FOLLOW THE RABBLE PODCAST: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRabbleTX/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therabbletx Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheRabbleTX Subscribe to our Friday newsletter, T-GIF: https://www.rousertx.com/tgif/…

It's Day 7 of The Rabble podcast's Daily Democracy Challenge, where we count down 46 days of impactful-yet-achievable action items to flip Texas and elect our 46th president. Only 39 more days until the election! And since today is Becky's 40th birthday, our action item is to do her very most favorite thing: be an election worker. TODAY'S ACTION: Why be an election worker? Most of the folks who usually staff the polls are older and therefore at higher risk for COVID, so many of them are opting out this year. Not enough poll workers means polling locations might close... which would mean looooong lines on election day. There is also a critical need for mail-in ballot sorters. To sign up, you can submit an application directly with your county clerk's office. Google "your county" and elections to find the forms to submit. Or try https://powerthepolls.com/ ! DON'T WORRY if you don't hear back for a while -- they are REAL busy. If you want to get extra training on working the election or if you'd like to find out more about opportunities to fight voter suppression, the Texas Civil Rights Project is on top of it at https://texasvoterprotection.org/ -- click on "Volunteer." Thank you for helping Becky celebrate her big birthday by werking the poll! And we can't wait to see you live in the chat this Sunday, 9/27 at 5pm for our "The Rabble, In The House: What the healthcare?!" episode: https://www.facebook.com/events/352607089144490 FOLLOW THE RABBLE PODCAST: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRabbleTX/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therabbletx Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheRabbleTX Subscribe to our Friday newsletter, T-GIF: https://www.rousertx.com/tgif/…
