We then switched gears to talk about teen sex: what we learned when we were young and how some parents fear that sex education will convince their kids to engage too early. We also discussed sexual fluidity.

Rachel Bitecofer joined me again to talk about how Democrats can use the firehose of news and GOP fascism to win this November. Topics: How the Roe decision can mean a D win; what Dem leaders are getting right with messaging and where they need to improve; how voters can use messaging to control a narrative, and Rachel explained that Democratic voters must show up in big numbers or the GOP will seize power and our rights will be taken away. We have time to save democracy but the clock is ticking. Use it or lose it.

Julie and I went to high school together but didn't know each other. In recent years, we connected through social media and there are more than a few interesting details. After we reminisced about high school years in a southern California beach town, we dug in and talked about current events: Steve Schmidt's no-fucksTwitter confessions; how striking down Roe could mean a Dem victory (don't get happy), and why it might be better to indict Trump after the November midterms.
