Remember the old talk-radio shows? I always wondered if it would be possible to revive the idea of just letting people call in and talking to them — without the whole breaking-the-country aspect of talk radio.
Well, we’ve been trying it, with great success, I might say.
Thanks to everyone who tuned in today. Here is the video for those who didn’t.
We talked about:
whether people even know about the Musk coup in conservative communities
why legacy media still refuses to name openly authoritarian actions like attempting to purge the federal civil service
why Nextdoor might be an interesting new frontier for under-the-radar organizing
and what people think Trump’s greatest potential vulnerability is with their right-leaning neighbors
These highly localized testimonies about what people are seeing and hearing in their communities is important. Please share.
Thank you for being part of this. As always, these Lives are open to all who join. Later we post the full videos for our supporting subscribers to rewatch and share.
