It's so cool to see/hear these two together (Femi Taiwo and @Anandwrites) because their books are together on my shelf and their ideas are together in my head

Yes!The truth in textbooks was erased by the Daughters of the Confederacy before I was in kindergarten. Then I saw the civil rights movement happening on the news, starting with JFK's assassination. His funeral procession is etched in my memories. I questioned what happened to truths.

In the minutes before I watched "How Trump Was 'Disciplined by Reality." I watched segments of several shows that treated everything Trump was doing as a big comedy. Satire and parody have their roles in correcting society, but they are not powerful enough to stop the evil that the Potus is inflicting on the whole world. Your show gave a thoughtful analysis of the situation we are in. Thank you Anand Giridharadas, Olufemi O. Taiwo, and Michael Cohen. Please continue the fight.

Hey Guys, great talk. Having just read JPHills piece here, I was struck by the discussion of billionares and their interests. I wonder if JP is right, and we err when we assume billionaires have interest similar to other....well, humans...?

We have lots of non-profits already organized to resolve problems facing families, housing, education, health and climate. Increasing grass roots can start by getting involved, volunteering or working or starting non profits.
