"To get to deeper systemic changes, we have to adopt a rhetoric and messaging about democracy that's more galvanizing than what was offered in this last election, when it was just about institutional defense."

Amazing problem to have - our local #nokings protest was too loud for my three year old, so we left and will be donating to Democratic candidates today. if you live in VA, another great thing you can do is make a plan to vote early. Having no kings means getting good elected officials in office.

It’s easy to cast Trump as antidemocratic and hostile to the rule of law. It’s much harder to take on institutions and people such as Weiss who invoke ideas like the “free press” while actually advancing a right-wing agenda.

So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?

@heyspirits.bsky.social - would love to hear a discussion about any info we have on when various players might be returning from injury on an upcoming pod. Ex. I thought Hal was supposed to be back in 4-6 weeks? Is Kate Wiesner suffering from same injury as last season? Thanks for the great pods!
