On this episode of FiredUp, we pay respects to the legendary, Academy Award-Winning actor Sidney Poitier who passed away ay 94 years old on Jan. 7th. Likewise, we pay respect to Harvard Law Prof and former Justice Dept Civil Rights nominee under the Clinton Administration Lani Guinere. Nominated by President Clinton to head the civil rights division at the Department of Justice in 1993. That ill-fated nomination sadly defined her career after she was regrettably rejected by Senate Republicans who accused her of pushing racial quotas on affirmative action and said her views on voting rights were too extreme and radical.
Covid-19 numbers climbed at a faster rate than last week, and we look at a report of another "variant " that has showed up. Reported to be a hybrid of the Delta and Omicron variants, scientists are currently debunking its existence as a variant rather labeling it as a product of laboratory contamination.
The Jan 6th Insurrection is still making news, while some Trump loyalists are claiming that there were "no republicans involved" or that it was a "Black Ops operation run by the FBI".
We also look into ongoing vote suppression efforts through control of the election offices themselves.
