Political Views , War and Crack Cocaine

This week on TMI , civil rights activist Tamika D. Mallory and rapper-activist Mysonne discuss growing backlash over U.S. military bombing abroad.

They push back against the notion that people should ignore politics to protect their income, arguing that today’s policies directly endanger survival, jobs, and community stability. This episode examines the disproportionate impact of mass workforce losses on Black women and raises urgent concerns about looming economic policies, including tariffs, the “no tax on tips” proposal, potential SNAP benefit cuts, and the far-reaching implications of Project 2025 .

Mallory and Mysonne also debate New York City Councilmember Zohran Mamdani ’s decision to engage Donald Trump in pursuit of federal funding, warning that Trump’s history of unreliability and white supremacy-driven agenda presents serious risks for marginalized communities. Turning to higher education and media accountability, Tamika calls out Hunter College after a professors racist remarks, and Mysonne closes with a viral video highlighting racial profiling during a traffic stop, followed by practical, life-saving advice on how to navigate police encounters safely.
