Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off I’m sick and tired of watching blue MAGA attempt to browbeat us with the same dishonest tactics the Republicans have been using for more than a decade. It’s also pitiful that so many intelligent, highly-educated people fall right into the trap of allowing intellectually dishonest people to frame every narrative. I’ve gotten drawn in...

Wow, Jessica Denson is a breath of fresh air. I’ve already invited her onto another show. In this interview, she told a story of how she got kicked off a larger platform for speaking her mind. Friends, I’m telling you that you have to stop supporting millionaire owned publications. They’re censoring us. They deplatform people. They maintain a cruel status quo. We need to support people of integrit...

Please support me if you can! Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off I got my kids to sit down to watch the new ‘Star Trek’ movies. We’d been watching ‘Sherlock’ with Bennedict Cumberbatch, so that was the gateway. “Oh, that guy,” they said. Familiarity is how you provide motivation to try something new. Imagine referring to Star Trek as something new. It was new for the...

The aftershocks of the New York primary are continuing to be felt. Corporate democrats who only show any loyalty to their big money donors are angry. The democratic party is showing once again that “blue no matter who” was always a lie. Statements by consultants such as James Carville encouraging the party to reject primary winners are further proof of what we already knew. The establishment democ...

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful conversation. When I first met Andra I could instinctively tell that we had parallel experiences. This was a delightful conversation where we just unapologetically told the truth. Imagine if we lived in a society that embraced these values. Working on it! You can follow Andra here. I suggest you do! Also, here’s her author web page . Thanks for listening! Thank you...

It’s getting to be a long time since I met Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, Esq. . She’s one of my favorite people and she is always a strong advocate for justice. You can find her at the Conscientious Emigrant, where she helps people relocate from the United States. In this conversation we explored Elizabeth’s background in environmental work. Naturally, the same structures of misogyny, shortsightedness...

I always have a lovely time talking to Ginger Murray for US ! She is one of three candidates running a cooperative campaign. By that I mean that the three Democratic candidates are all friends. They support each other. They know what’s at stake. We cover everything in this talk from surveillance centers to election integrity. Ginger is a lawyer and she’s a fierce advocate for the rights of women a...

Please support me if you can! Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off Many politicians try to politicize the deaths of innocent children by claiming our country needs a return to traditional values. I believe the opposite is true. We need modern values that reflect our ever-developing understanding of the human experience. There’s plenty of evidence that so-called traditi...

Hey Everyone! I had a great time chatting With Dash of The Halfway Cafe . I see his notes and they always make me laugh. He has the remarkable gift of being able to write satire that can be distinguished as satire even in these dystopian times. You can follow him here: Thank you PJ Schuster , Lisa | We Are The Third Estate , Ms. H , Ms. Yuse , Jason Gael , and many others for tuning into my live v...

I’ve had the privilege of talking with Tony a couple of times and I really appreciate him. He’s new to Substack, but you can see that he’s exactly the kind of positive force of decency we need in this world. I am looking forward to featuring him in more conversations and introducing him to my creator friends. You can follow Tony here: And, as always, it’s my pleasure to talk to Will Fullwood . Tha...

Hello everyone! I loved this interview! A. Eevie Bateman is never afraid to ask the hard questions and Rachel Peace For Congress is exactly the kind of decent and hard-working representative we deserve. With progressive wins mounting across the country, we’re seeing that the general public has had enough of the status quo. Naturally, the status quo is terrified of this, so they’re starting their s...

I’ll never get a big 3 publishing contract because our literary community is just a propaganda empire owned by oligarchs. But YOU allow me to keep writing! THANK YOU! Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off There are none so blind as those that will not see and writers are among the very worst. When scholars look back on this era, I expect they will lament the complete la...

Hello! I really enjoyed this talk with Kait Justice ! Her experience is so similar to my own. When I first messaged her, we started chatting about our various writing projects. Writing teaches you how to manufacture narratives, and when you study enough narratives you begin to perceive the influence of hostile forces on our reality. Malicious entities are good at hiding themselves, but they leave...

Hello Everyone! It’s always my great pleasure to talk with Stephanie G Wilson, PhD , Robert Danna , and Laci Loew . In this conversation, we tried to come up with a strategy for 2040 to match the corrupt industriousness of the right. However, even though that was our objective, I kept pulling the conversation back to the present (shame on me). Still, I feel that we covered a lot of ground and I fe...

Every single one of the candidates I’ve talked to has been fantastic. I love primary challengers because the American public deserves to have a choice when it comes to elections. That means elections at every level. The people always deserve to know who is running, what they stand for, and what they stand to gain with an alternative. The simple fact is that politics as usual in the United States i...

Today Anthony Christian joined me for this talk with Alex Rikleen . Alex is running for the Senate in Massachusetts. The thing I always want to emphasize with these talks is that primaries are healthy because they activate the voting base and they allow candidates to listen to diverse perspectives. Frankly, we’ve had enough of the undemocratic process that results in anointed DNC candidates who go...

Thanks for supporting the resistance! Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off America is a nation of lies. It is not a “great” nation or a “free” nation or a “world leader.” This is a country built on slavery and bent on global domination. Every enterprise is meant to feed the rich and starve the poor. It’s a dog eat dog country and 99% of the population lives in perpetua...
