In this episode, I take a break from films and, instead, talk about the current situation in the United States after the inauguration of Donald Trump. We are sliding into a fascist state. This podcast is about me trying to make sense of what is happening. I also talk about two books that I read recently: "Hope in the Dark" by Rebecca Solnit and "Freedom is a Constant Struggle" by Angela Davis. Both books remind us that we must hold on to hope as we resist the new administration's attacks and fight for the rights and dignity of all people in this country.
