Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off Aw, it’s been a while since I talked to the Mouthy Renegade Writer. We go back a long way at this point. I used to write for his publication on Medium. When Medium’s Boost program came along, I was one of the first people to apply. Then I got to know the person in charge of the program and recommended Mouthy (and a ton of...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off Hello Friends! I always have a blast talking to Ben Ulansey and Dash from The Halfway Cafe . Without fail, they provide me with a larger perspective on the challenges we face today. We had a fun time in this talk covering a wide range of Earth destroying topics, and we managed to do it with good humor (for the most part)....

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off Hello Everyone, It was my pleasure to speak with Lisa Kinney who is running for Congress in Wyoming. I appreciated her energy and her diverse background that actually makes her qualified for the job (unlike most of the people currently serving in government). We had a lively talk and I think you’ll get a good sense of who...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off I really appreciate Ginger Murray for US . I interviewed her multiple times during the primaries and it provides me with a lot of comfort to know that there are people like her out there working hard. People like Ginger do not get the media attention they deserve, and that’s part of the problem. We need to create a new, p...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off Every time I try to hold Republicans accountable for their cruelty, I become the target of a lecture. “Hey now, you have to recognize that some Republicans are good people.” I recognize that this statement is a socially conditioned belief. People have been taught to say that since birth. In many cases, this is something t...

Hello Everyone! It was my great privilege to talk with my good friend A. Eevie Bateman and my new friend James Byrd , the Democratic nominee for Senate in the state of Wisconsin. Although Wyoming doesn’t get the media attention of other states, a vote in the Senate has the same value of any other vote. Also, the amount of money that goes into a campaign is much less than you see spent in other pla...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off I’m tired of being angry at MAGA. I just want them to stop hating themselves. We’ve all lamented the fact that we’ve been tortured by the MAGA movement for the last 10 years. Their ideology consists entirely of self-loathing. If we don’t escape their gravitational pull, they’ll just drag us all down with them. Throughout...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off Thanks to everyone who joined Dr. Yamicia Connor , A. Eevie Bateman and me for another important discussion on the true challenges of our times. Dr. Connor has done the research and can demonstrate that the United States incarcerates a disproportionate number of kids, the cost is much higher than providing our children wi...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off The people of the United States of America are trauma conditioned to see sexual violence as a means of behavioral correction. This idea is deeply rooted in our cultural ideology, and I believe it is the root cause of our deplorable rape culture. Sexual violence is so normalized that American citizens are often incapable o...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off I really had a wonderful time talking with Mark Mansour and Cryn Johannsen . I’ve known Cryn for a long but this was my first time talking to Mark. He’s got a background as a democratic activist, and he really brought a steady hand to this conversation. He’s the first to admit that we’re all just speculating, but I really...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off Gosh, this was a fun talk. I’ve been exhausted in the lead up to the midterms. I’m sure all of you are exhausted too.

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off I appreciate this talk I just had with Its Up to Us and Arturo Dominguez . Alison has been examining voter data through public information requests. She outlines some of her findings in this article: To summarize, there appear to be duplicate voter registrations. We’re asking why. That’s it. We are asking why. In this pre...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off Hello Everyone! It’s always my privilege to talk with Ossiana! As you can probably tell from the title, this is a triggering conversation, but it’s an important one. If you don’t know the dangers that are out there, you are poorly equipped to protect your children. Also, we’re told not to trust the evidence of our eyes an...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off I always appreciate these conversations with Arturo Dominguez . He’s a diligent journalist and he’s the source of many of the articles you see on bigger publications—because they blatantly steal from him. In this conversation we discuss the 50 state strategy, and the ineptitude of the Democratic leaders that got us to thi...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off 💙 80% off Hello Friends,I can’t believe that we’ve already done 8 episodes with Dr. Yamicia Connor and A. Eevie Bateman . This was a particularly challenging episode because it demonstrates the extent to which conservatives implement policies that are detrimental to children. It’s tough to talk about the suffering of the innocent,...
