Our Fall podcasts and videos series is going on the ground and getting to the roots of the authoritarian tilt that is gripping the Western world. We've been right in the action over the last 60 days! So far we've covered:
🏜️ Land and Water rights in the Southwest
🏛️ The Occupied Capitol City (& Trump's National Guard deployment!)
🤠 Cowboys & Queer Culture
🗽 The Big Apple & It's Big Wealth Gap
🗞️ The history of media & tech
🥾 The long history of rural life in the U.S.
🐢 Indigenous & Migrant rights
🫏 vs. 🐘 The Myths of Red vs. Blue
📲 The border(s) covering Cyber Security and our Surveillance State
I am so excited to share what we've learned (& what the media and Big Tech don't want us to understand) so we can build our agency and build the change we deserve. There are powerful forces trying to stop us, but our collective power will always be more powerful.
