Hello Lowdowners! DZ here. Apologies for the delay getting the recording of last week’s Happy Hour out to you all— there was a problem with the audio which took a minute to find a fix. You’ll hear that Hightower still sounds a little distorted here and there, and I apologize for that! I figured out what went wrong when we recorded, so, fingers crossed, it shouldn’t happen again.

We covered a LOT of ground in this session: breaking the two-party duopoly, poor people’s food, Netanyahu versus Gaza, how Texas turned red, who’s doing good grassroots organizing, Thomas Paine, and much more. Plus a lot of laughs (and a few extra tech snafus) along the way! Below you’ll find the links we put into the live chat, as well as a full transcript of the video. Enjoy, and we’ll see you at the next one!
