What people accept as "common sense" isn't always natural. It's a story that got repeated enough times.

This week, Shanelle Matthews shows how social movements rewrite those stories and why your job is to make new ideas feel inevitable.

Political change operates on your ability to tell your story, because stories shape what people believe is possible. It's not always just "facts and policy." So join us for a revealing conversation about how successful movements build power through storytelling. 🧵(1/3)

TOMORROW: The power of storytelling is no secret. Every political movement tells a story. Here’s the real question: Who gets to tell it? And more importantly, how can we as everyday citizens tell stories that shape movements and build narrative power?

Tune in tomorrow wherever you get your pods 🎙️

Someone in crisis gets access to a gun. They use it. They don't get a second chance.

Extreme risk protection orders let family or police temporarily remove guns from someone showing warning signs.

It's not about taking rights away forever. It's about keeping someone alive long enough to get help.

#ICYMI - The gun lobby isn't some unstoppable force. They're tiny compared to oil and gas – yet they've blocked gun safety for decades. @Emma_S_Brown explains how they do it and how we beat them. Available now wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙️

95% of Americans agree on universal background checks.

So why don't we have them? Emma Brown explains how the gun lobby blocks what almost everyone wants – and how some states are pushing toward wins for everyday people anyway.

Armed intimidation at polling places isn't free speech. Some states finally passed laws banning weapons near ballot drop boxes.

Remember: Democracy works better when people aren't terrified to vote.

America doesn't have more mental health problems than other countries. We just have way more guns.

This week, @Emma_S_Brown breaks down why access to weapons drives our gun death crisis.

Americans support universal background checks.

Republicans want it. Democrats want it. Gun owners want it. Non-gun owners want it.
Yet Congress won't pass it because a small, well-funded lobby has convinced politicians their careers will end if they vote yes.

This is democracy being held hostage.

A nurse fainted on camera after getting the COVID vaccine due to a medical condition that causes fainting. Conspiracy theorists claimed she died.

She posted proof she was alive. They said she was replaced by a double.

This is why conspiracies are hard to fight.

#ICYMI - We can't fact-check if we never learned how to read critically.

Education is the only real weapon against the infodemic. Everything else is band-aids.

When memes promise easy answers to complex questions, they're selling a dangerous myth. But what's really at stake?

It is hard to spot disinformation because nobody taught us HOW.

Media literacy? Science literacy? Political literacy? We're failing at all of them.

And now the government is defunding education.

Learn what YOU can do in this week's episode wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙

The deliberate defunding of education is NOT about budget cuts but a direct threat to truth itself. When people can't recognize disinformation, our entire democracy is at risk.

Tune in to a BRAND NEW EPISODE to learn more about fighting the infodemic: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/und...

The infodemic isn't just about Russian bots or AI-generated deep fakes.

Most disinformation spreads because regular people see something that confirms what they already believe, get emotional, and share it immediately without checking.
November 7, 2025 at 7:02 PM
Information is power (but only when it’s TRUE).

In a world of constant noise, being careful with what we share is an act of civic responsibility.
Let’s protect democracy, one post at a time.

🚨 When truth itself is under threat, what can we do? The infodemic is happening right before our eyes. But what IS an "infodemic?" And what does it mean for our ability to make informed decisions? 🧵(1/4)

TOMORROW: We'll explore why "care before you share" matters and how to spot disinformation in the wild!

We're all worried about fake videos while governments quietly build surveillance systems that would make Orwell weep.

Join us with Bruce Schneier to learn what actually threatens democracy (hint: it's not fake campaign ads).
