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...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off Hey Everyone! I’ve been wondering when the wheels would fall off. It finally happened. Last week, I overdid it. I did 14 lives on this newsletter and several more on “Rise Together.” Most of them were an hour, but a couple of them went long. This included four interviews with political candidates. It was too much. I normally keep Sa...

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...

Thanks for your support: 30% off 💙 40% off 💙 50% off 💙 60% off It’s becoming more clear that our task in this moment is to reeducate the general population. I’ve been talking about this often with the brilliant Deidre Keller . Our job isn’t to lecture but to teach. Unfortunately, every time I start to teach, I end up getting lectured by some indoctrinated member of Blue MAGA. “Well, the strateg...

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...

Hello everyone! I really appreciated this conversation with Natasha K. and A. Eevie Bateman . I keep commenting on how the cruelty of our narcissistic Republican regime mirrors the cruelty of abusive relationships. The silver lining is that those of us who have endured abuse can use our knowledge to help educate others. The key piece of advice is this: trust your instincts! Your body knows when yo...

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...

I had this wonderful talk with Robert Danna and Laci Loew last week, but I’ve been doing so many candidate interviews I’ve only been able to post it now. This conversation was the start of my idea to get more Substack creators to interview progressive candidates. We are building a movement, and Robert and Laci will be HUGE assets in this effort. Bob’s been doing a series of important articles to o...

Hello Everyone! This was another great conversation with my friend Margaret Williams, MS, ACC and Congressional candidate John Liccione . He’s walking the walk along with talking the talk and he’s currently suing our administration! We cover a lot of ground including the need to protect kids from pedophiles and the extent of both foreign (and domestic) interference on our elections. You can learn...

Hello Everyone! This conversation was exactly what I needed when I needed it. Honestly, with everything that’s going on, I don’t even remember how I came into contact with Elldwnia English . I’ve been just scrambling to get as much attention for as many progressive challengers as I can. I’ve also been inviting my fellow creators onto these interviews. My plan is that those creators will then go on...

Don’t forget to become a sponsor of this newsletter if you can afford it. There are coupons at the bottom for a variety of discounts. Thanks in advance! Words matter. As a writer, I’ve always believed this. Over the last few years, I’ve come to understand it even more. I once had an editor inform me I couldn’t use the word “crazy” in an article. My first impulse response was to protest. “Well, I d...

Hey Everybody! It’s always my great delight to join Dana and Lawrence on the Daily Whatever! Today we had the honor of being joined by Emily Berge . She’s running for Congress in my district and I think she’s both a wonderful candidate and a wonderful human being. I’ve been interviewing a lot of candidates, and I keep hearing that grassroots candidates are being pressured by DC Democrats to not pa...

The legacy media has failed us. The people have abandoned it in droves. They’ve come to new media because they want something different. We are doing our audience a disservice if we continue to abide by the practices of the past. Today, we find ourselves living in an era of abuse and criminality that was brought on by a lack of accountability for powerful men. We are confronted by economic terrori...

This is my second time talking with Ginger Murray . My mom lives in the district that she would represent and I appreciate her common sense approach to issues such as healthcare and human rights. You can learn more about her campaign here . If you want to contact her campaign for an interview, here’s the email: winning@gingerforuscongress.com You can follow her here: Find Frederic Poag here: Thank...

No matter what I say or do, whiny Democrats come out of the woodwork to say, “We have to appeal to moderate Republicans.” “Okay fine!” I reply. Then I get on my soap box. “The current crop of Democrats is a complete disgrace! We gave them all the power they needed in 2020 to stop the rise of fascism and they failed! Democratic leadership is a complete and total failure! They’re absolutely corrupt!...
