Here’s Daphne, Wendy, and Jason with a check-in about the state of things in the United States, with our unvarnished thoughts and opinions about it all.

We walk you through:

The state of things in the country since Trump came into office.

Some hopeful signs that things may be shifting in our favor.

What we do (and maybe you can do, too) to cope and to fight back.

Plus, we have some impassioned feedback from you guys, which we’re always grateful for.

Please consider attending a No Kings protest this Saturday, Oct 18. You can find one near you at nokings.org.
