Coming up on today’s show, we have one of the nurses from National Nurses United who was arrested at Occupy Chicago this weekend, Martese Chism, here to talk about her horrible treatment behind bars.

We also have Ari Berman back on the show to talk about his cover story for the Nation Magazine, How The Austerity Class Rules Washington.

We’ll also be talking, once again, to Alternet’s Sarah Jaffe about the five mega banks that hold our country hostage.

Plus we have the founder of an anti-Occupy Wall Street Group here to discuss how billionaires are planning to Occupy the Dollar Store.

We’ll also be discussing the police raid at Occupy Oakland, Rick Perry going birther, Herman Cain’s crazy smoking ad, and the Obama administration’s hiring of a TransCanada oil lobbyist.

Our writer/performer today is Chris Sowa.
