2 Protest or 2 Riot Pocast
Welcome to 2 Protest or 2 Riot — the unapologetic news and politics podcast where we don’t just ask what happened… we ask how mad should we be about it?
Hosted by two Black voices with too many opinions and not enough patience for propaganda, this show cuts through the noise with raw commentary, unfiltered debates, and satirical side-eyes at the people and systems failing us daily. Whether we’re dissecting political stunts, calling out performative allies, or asking if a peaceful protest is even worth it this time—we’re here to unpack the headlines, the harm, and the hypocrisy.
This isn’t NPR. This is the cookout table. Pull up, get loud, and ask yourself every week:
Is it time to protest… or is it time to riot?

Episode 3 - "Urgency without Agency"
Obama handed Democrats the blueprint: a sturdy coalition of young people, Black voters, suburban moderates, and college-educated whites. By 2016, the seams split, and Hillary couldn’t hold it together. Nelson & Javier unpack what it means to fight with “urgency without agency” — from RFK Jr.’s anti-vax theatrics to NATO’s shaky stare-down with Russia, to a political climate where facts take a back seat to vibes.
Episode Highlights
- RFK Jr.’s vaccine “freedom” stunt and the danger of anti-vax cosplay
- NATO, Poland, and why ignoring Russia is naïve
- How facts lost their power in U.S. politics
- Urgency without agency: the collapse of Obama’s coalition
- Why vibes are steering the ship more than science
