Chris Deluzio On The Norfolk Southern Train Derailment

By The Lever – 2 Mar 2023 – View online →

This week, The Lever’s podcasts offer some important and thought-provoking conversations. On Lever Time, we share our exclusive interview between David Sirota and U.S. Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.), whose congressional district is near the site of the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Chris conveys the sense of anger and fear he’s received from his constituents, as well as his plans for holding Norfolk Southern accountable.

On Movies vs. Capitalism, hosts Rivka and Frank are joined by comedian Ele Woods for a fun and thoughtful discussion about the 1988 classic Working Girl. The group unpacks the cultural relevance of being a “girlboss” and how it challenges the patriarchy while reinforcing capitalism. The Audit is still on hiatus, but will return soon with more mind-numbing “educational” content.
