Monstrous Monday, Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid, 28 April 2025

These hundred days have brought horrors unimaginable even during the first nightmare years of Nitwit Nero. Now, he says he "runs the world." He's insane. Stone-cold, no-doubt-about-it criminally insane. 

The monsters of ICE are kidnapping infants and pregnant mothers, children with cancer. Could we please just skip the middle part and put them in spiffy, black Hugo Boss uniforms? I'd like to think maybe even MAGATS might take notice then. 

Who am I kidding?

 

Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – April 28, 2025

In this fiery episode of Head-On with Roxanne Kincaid, the outspoken “liberal transbilly elitist” dives headfirst into a torrent of political and human rights controversies engulfing the nation. Roxanne opens with searing criticism of what she terms the current “fascist regime,” accusing it of systematically eroding constitutional protections, trampling civil liberties, and deploying authoritarian tactics under the guise of law enforcement.

A central focus is placed on shocking allegations against ICE, including the illegal deportation of U.S. citizen children—one reportedly suffering from brain cancer—alongside their pregnant mothers. The host and cited legal advocates denounce these actions as violations of due process and basic human rights. Virginia authorities are investigating a particularly aggressive ICE raid in Charlottesville, where masked agents reportedly abducted a man from a courtroom. The Commonwealth’s attorney calls it a political performance and a “grave danger” to public safety.

Roxanne also targets the administration’s economic policies, sounding alarms over an escalating trade war with China. Citing reports that Chinese cargo shipments are ceasing by mid-May, she warns of looming shortages at U.S. retailers and criticizes the administration’s reliance on tariffs as economically illiterate and dangerous.

The episode takes a deeply personal turn during a long call with listener Paul, an autistic scientist, who expresses grave concerns about RFK Jr.’s suggestion of an autism registry. Paul equates the idea to historical registries later weaponized by authoritarian regimes. Roxanne draws chilling parallels to broader government surveillance and crackdowns on marginalized communities, especially trans individuals and immigrants. Both emphasize the importance of understanding, not stigmatizing, neurodivergent individuals.

Health concerns also surface, with Paul reporting on a growing measles outbreak affecting over half the U.S., urging listeners to wear masks and rely on state-level health data over federal agencies like the CDC or HHS.

Roxanne shares personal updates—including helping a friend escape a slumlord—and thanks listeners for their generous support during a fundraising push. A donor is matching contributions up to $900 to keep progressive, ad-free radio alive.

Finally, the show highlights Rep. Shri Thanedar’s introduction of seven articles of impeachment against the former president, citing abuses of power, denial of due process, and violations of the Constitution.

With unflinching rhetoric and impassioned calls to action, Roxanne connects the dots between systemic cruelty, legal decay, economic mismanagement, and the rise of a government she argues is dangerously close to fascism.
