This week’s live discussion with Liz Plank and Laura Bates is one unlike I’d ever experienced. I’m both grateful, and somewhat fearful to share it with you. Our two topics covered key issues surrounding free speech, and around AI and misogyny. I’m grateful to have this discussion because it is a critical discussion with two amazing leading voices. And I am fearful because I’m realizing that despit...

In my candid conversation with THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali , we dive into a critical point that very few in corporate media are making. The war we face is not conservative verse liberal, it is billionaires verses the working class. We cannot let culture wars distract us from what is staring us in the face. Let’s Address This.

We debunk his claims about violence in American cities, and continue to call out his fascist anti-immigration policies. And finally, we discuss one meaningful way to fight back. As I mention in the Substack Live, I’ve compiled a list of candidates who stand firm...

Today I joined Nick Paro and Lawrence Winnerman on their podcast, “Sick of This,” to discuss Gaza, Palestine, Israel, and the dire need for global unity against genocide. In addition to elevating the dire situation in Gaza, we discussed how what happens in Gaza impacts us directly—not only from a moral standpoint, but from a practical standpoint. As Dr. King warned, injustice anywhere is a threat...

I first interacted with then Republican Congressman Joe Walsh more than a decade ago when he represented the 8th Congressional District in Illinois. We butted heads because of remarks he’d made about American Muslims. Over the years Joe has gone on an admirable journey, and he’ll be the first to admit his past views were wrong and unacceptable. He and I have built a friendship based—not on agreeme...

We must always speak up for the sake of justice, n...

With gerrymandering and voter suppression decimating our democracy, let’s talk meaningful solutions: Mobile phones. No really, we use our smart phones to check our financial data, our health data, and even file our taxes — so why note vote by phone?
