My younger socialist friend and I chatted again this week, focused especially on the problems of homelessness, addiction, and mental health, what to do, what not to do, what if anything government should do. We agreed that letting these folks hang in public spaces isn’t the answer, we looked for a better term than “institutionalize.” Neat conversation Hosted on Acast.

From the moment he was sworn in, he’s been stuffing his pockets with money and his family has been stuffing their pockets with money…to the tune of billions. We’ve never seen anything like it. He singlehandedly fucked up the economy, he illegally took this country to war, and he’s desecrating the people’s house. And along the way, he’s personally enriching himself. He doesn’t care about you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down with Brian Karem, longtime political journalist & reporter to try to make sense of where we’re at - what’s Trump really up to? Is Trump really all there? Why has today’s media utterly normalized him? And…what the heck is the Democratic Party doing/and where are they heading? Interesting conversation. Hosted on Acast.

A conversation with Genia Simkin, who runs samizdatonline.org, an organization dedicated to getting independent reporting into the hands of people who live in countries where the government controls what information people are allowed to see. It’s difficult work, but it’s an important, necessary cause. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump threw a 250th anniversary State Fair in DC this weekend and nobody showed up. I mean nobody. It’s super easy to make fun of, but the whole thing is sad. Trump has ruined our 250th. He’s humanly incapable of unifying this country. And so the American people will celebrate our 250th not as one unified country. But as a divided, siloed, balkanized country. Hosted on Acast.

I sat down again with my Socialist friend Xander Schultz and we discussed how best to put forward a positive vision for voters to counter what Trump and MAGA put out there. One takeaway - The left needs to unabashedly display more pure love for this country. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Every day there are reminders. Every day. ICE going after citizens, going after people legally here on work permits, going after immigrants without any criminal record who’ve been here for years. These good, decent, hardworking folks have always been Trump’s targets. Because he doesn’t want brown & black immigrants here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
