🎙️ News With My Fiancé S6 Ep5 (January 19th 2026) America Needs a De-Icing The political temperature is rising—and this week, we discussed how things are getting even more dangerous. In this episode of News With My Fiancé, we dig into how misinformation, online extremism, and policy decisions are shaping the current moment. From bad-faith “fake news” narratives to renewed scrutiny around immigration enforcement and civil rights history, this conversation sits at the intersection of media, power, and accountability—with context, nuance, and a little humor where it fits. 🗞️ Topics We Cover: How misinformation functions as a placebo, not just propaganda The rise of reactionary online figures and how grievance politics fuels their audiences A second death in two weeks at a Texas ICE detention facility and why oversight matters MLK Day observances scaled back amid broader attacks on DEI and civil rights education 🎙️ About the Show: News With My Fiancé is where current events meet real conversation. We break down the news without yelling panels or cable-news theatrics—just honest discussion, critical thinking, and space to disagree. 💬 Join the Conversation: Are we seeing a coordinated rollback of civil rights narratives—or a backlash spiraling out of control?
