Note: I’m not trying to suggest white supremacy is a cognitive disability. I’m trying to explain the shortcomings of a deliberately truncated worldview and how it’s installed into the minds of children through a process of abuse. In one of my ongoing discussions with Will Fullwood , we compared our experiences with bullies. Will related an experience where he pushed a bully down and then instantly...

When I was growing up we had Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood . Whenever he opened the door and said, “Hello neighbor,” it was as if he projected a ray of kindness into your home. During the difficult times I experienced in my childhood, I learned to throw my mind into a place that was separate from reality. I became absorbed in books, television shows, and film. Often, the shared experiences I had of wat...

Hello Everybody! My reader Howard got me in touch with Chris Bennett for a quick chat. He was attending a regular Sunday demonstration and he took a bit of time out of his busy day to talk to us about the progressive promise. Note that Chris shows up at about the 32:25 minute mark. It warms my heart to talk to candidates like this. He’s absolutely wonderful, authentic, compassionate, intelligent…...

This was a wonderful talk! I’ve been waiting to get to know Deidre Keller since I’ve seen her wonderful comments in my lives. We covered some excellent ground here. Will mentioned during the episode that he felt he’d achieved some insight into a better path forward. That always starts with truthfully examining we’re up against, even if the truth might feel insurmountable. It’s not. Every day we cl...

Hey Everybody, I’m going to make a point of having more regular conversations with Robert Danna . He helps me feel centered and he always has magnificent insight into what’s going on. The most important thing is that he’s very hopeful. He provided me with an important reminder of how far the progressive caucus has come. However, that doesn’t mean we’re not still facing challenges, but yes, sometim...

Oh my gosh! What a great conversation with Liz Pfeiffer ! She’s teaching in a conservative rural school and her experience mirrors what I had to put up with growing up. To be honest, her observations were so validating. People just don’t realize the extent to which white supremacy indoctrination is taking place in rural areas. I’m excited to have follow up conversations on this with Deidre Keller...

This is from February of 2025, but I see people talking about this concept again. It’s an ongoing problem. Here are my thoughts. If I walk into a restaurant and I see a bunch of men with hate symbols on their jackets, I’m going to turn around and walk right back out the door. I would prefer to spend my money in establishments where hatred is not welcome. Unfortunately, in both the physical and dig...

Hey Everybody! What a great talk! I stared my morning dejected about the state of affairs in the United States, but after talking with Liza Hameline , I feel empowered. She works with the North Texas Democrats, and she provided me with a ton of information as to what went down in the Texas election. My main takeaway is that there are brilliant, hardworking people doing everything they can to fight...

We’re in the “please send me a donation” cycle of the post-election phase. My wife got one of those messages yesterday. “Why is some rich guy in Texas asking me for money? How did he get my number?” I posted this online last night and I immediately got a round of replies. “Me too.” “Same here.” “They hit me up with three!” Every single election cycle is the same. The vote happens. The ballots are...

I really appreciated this conversation with Emily Berge . She’s running for congress in my district by going out and talking to the people (including me). I think we’re all tired of living in an era where candidates who are “anointed” by Washington DC go out and lose. It’s time to let the people decide who represents them. That’s how we all win! Emily is very candid in this interview about the sta...

Originally published in 2023… I wish more people had listened then. I become triggered when I see anyone respond to a tough question by sighing, shaking his head, and uttering a soft and melodic “Well…” That’s the gentle way of starting a conversation that can be summed up as: “It seems like you’re being treated unfairly, but let me spend endless hours lecturing you as to why you’re wrong. I know...

Democrats can no longer be content to support candidates that are more interested in appealing to Republicans than listening to their own base. Bible thumping James Talarico is a perfect example. If he wants to quote the King James with every other word, he should be running as a Republican. As it is, we appear to have another Republican in Democrat clothing attempting to push the whole party to t...

This story is about 10 years old. It’s from the last time my furnace broke down. My new furnace started glitching last week. It’s more or less fixed, but they told me they have to come back one more time to adjust a few things. Every now and then in Wisconsin, you wake up because your house is 50 degrees. Those days are always exhausting. The smell alerted me to the problem. I’ve had this house fo...

Hello Everyone! I really appreciated this discussion with Will Fullwood and Jack . I had the opportunity to talk to Jack before with Nick Paro and I’d been eager to hear more of his perspective. We covered a lot of ground and I knew that both Will and Jack could provide guidance on some concepts that have been troubling me. Specifically, I’m concerned with how easy it is for people who should be a...
