Ditto, my friend!
Making this little podcast with @mhgreen3000.bsky.social every week has been a true source of joy in a terrible political season. I'm so proud of the work we've done, so grateful to our expanding community of listeners, and so excited to keep building joy and collective solidarity 1 week at a time.
We've hit the 25th episode and we're not stopping here! A look back at the best, wildest, and most unexpectedly therapeutic moments so far, + a pop quiz, and lots of reasons for joy. Thanks to our community of listeners + supporters for getting us this far!

25 episodes in. Nora and I are celebrating like any pair of exhausted optimists: looking back at the chaos we somehow survived: mutual aid sparks, Gaza truth-telling, billionaire clownery, working-class rage, and Mama Green’s democracy gems. Also yes: we’ve technically out-podcasted Obama.

Nora and I are back this week, fueled by caffeine, civic duty, and just enough hope to get through election week. Joined by Charles Douglas III of Common Power, we dig into Seattle’s slow counts, messy polls, and how to turn all that campaign chaos into real community power.

Mighty Krypto & I are taking a break from saving the world to remind you: the South Seattle Emerald’s free T’Challoween bash hits Beacon Hill tomorrow, 1–4 PM! Come for the candy & costumes, stay for at least one guy in spandex quietly rethinking his life choices. It’s gonna be super.

I'm not sure there is a single elected Dem who is taking the threat of white nationalist minority authoritarian rule as seriously as Sen. Murphy is.
So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora and I talk with activist-artist Nadine Bloch about No Kings 2.0, creative resistance, and why joy is one of our most subversive tools. As authoritarian creep turns to creeps at warp speed, she says: make revolution irresistible. open.spotify.com/episode/1OTY...

Chicago isn’t a war zone—it’s a mirror. It shows what happens when power tries to rule through fear, and how ordinary people answer with courage, care, and community. Nora & I talk with Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez about resistance that starts where you live. Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/0hlb...

Some eras search for truth. Ours is busy trying to gaslight it into extinction.

Enter Magical Millie’s Courageous Journey, the Indigenous-led coloring book teaching kids that science, joy, and culture belong together. I wrote about the unicorn doing public health’s job, one crayon at a time.
The Magical Unicorn Teaching Us What the Government Won't
A coloring book commissioned by the Seattle Indian Health Board teaches children the importance of vaccines — and that public health is a practice rooted in community.

Spoke to Sarah Stuteville for the latest episode of the In The Meanwhile podcast, where she laid out why major media companies don’t bite the hand that feeds them—they are the hand. Power protects itself, and that’s exactly why truth so often gets buried beneath the weight of profit.

I shared some thoughts in this piece.

I’m very thankful to Marcus for writing this and to everyone who shared their thoughts and experiences here.
Who do we mean when we say “Black Seattle”?

This mayoral race isn’t about personalities—it’s about whether symbolism becomes substance. What do “seats at the table” mean if the rest of us go hungry?
