Stephanie talks to Kevin M. Levin, public historian and writer of the substack Civil War Memory about the book ban at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, the scrubbing of websites and museums in the national parks, and the importance of how we tell the story of the past. The way we talk about the past gives us a picture into what we believe in the present and plan for the future.

Stephanie talks to Antonia Scatton, author of the podcast Reframing America and protege of George Lakoff who talks about making sure our messaging is on our terms, in our language. She says, "Fact-checking and debunking myths almost always spreads the disinformation we are trying to defeat. They trick us into delivering their messages beyond their media bubble." We discuss word associations, rebranding the Democratic party, and much more.

Stephanie speaks with Walter Rhein of I’d Rather be Writing about building community in person and throughout the country to fight against the fascism this regime is implementing day by day (hour by hour).

As we spoke, Cory Booker was in the middle of his 25+ hour speech in the Senate, understanding that he’s catching up to us in the grassroots, and attempting to ignite action among his colleagues, his constituents, and all of us Americans who believe in freedom. He noted that this isn’t a question of “right or left,” but rather “right or wrong.” “The power of the people is greater than the people in power.”Also yesterday, the regime gutted HHS, research on Cancer, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, infectious diseases and so much more. Out here in the grassroots we’re coming together to protest the regime’s attack on America. And hopefully more of our leaders will find courage from Cory Booker’s feat. And on the same day, Tuesday April 1, Wisconsin elected Susan Crawford for Supreme Court…an election which promises to echo as Wisconsin draws new district maps and fights for freedom.

Stephanie talks to Dr. Craig Johnson, author of the brand new book How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism published by Routledge press. We talk about how easily young men can fall down the internet rabbit hole into fascism, how they're targeted, how to see the signs of this radicalization, and how you can talk with them empathetically if you catch it early enough in the radicalization process.
