There’s been so much bad news over the past five months. It can be really overwhelming. This week, we wanted to highlight recent WINS. More & more regular Americans are finding their strength, their voices, and ways to not only survive fascism, but fight it. If we go down, then we go down together.

Great timing for this book to come out as Roberts makes his rounds and blames teachers for the loss of trust in government. Brand him and his corrupt court, @leahlitman.bsky.social!

Did you know CDC already has a ‘network’ for tracking autism? Fеd govt agencies already have agreements w/ 7 states to use kids’ med & SPED records for rеsеаrch w/o family соnsеnt, & we don’t know what info they can access. Sounds an awful lot like the beginnings of a national autism registry, no?

The history of humanity’s treatment of ppl with intellectual & emotional differences/disabilities is dark. Ppl born neurologically different or who behave ‘abnormally’ due to trauma have been demonized when in truth, most are victims of a world that simply can’t be bothered to understand them. 1/

We're trying something new this week and splitting our latest episode into two parts. Part 1: Concern over Trump using the Insurrection Act to weaponize the military against U.S. citizens feels even more relevant given today’s meeting between Trump & El Salvador’s President Bukele…

In last week’s podcast episode, we discussed what this аросаlурsе has to do with patriarchy (read: EVERYTHING), the looming threat of a Social Security shutdown, the disappearing of innocent people without due process, the war on DEI, & one of the most effective antidotes to fascism: mockery 🤡

This is a short 15 minute bonus episode on President's Day I record this podcast in a bomb shelter built into the house in 1956. It got me thinking what being in a bomb shelter represents. I also remembered "The Shelter" episode from The Twilight Zone that scared me so much as a kid.
