    This week we're joined by our friend and social media activist Tariq Ra'ouf and asking: how do you live a “normal” life when everything feels anything but normal? Tariq has been making a difference with his transparent and genuine coverage of tragedies that are going on in the world. We dig into a Vox advice column about the “dual state” theory and why some people carry on like everything’s fine while others feel like the ground is shifting beneath their feet. We share how we're talking to friends who just don’t seem concerned, and talk strategies for staying informed without losing our minds. We wrap with actionable recommendations in light of this week's topic: 5Calls.org (Andrew) and Indivisible.org (Laura).

    In the Dumpster Fire Corner, we unpack the alarming abduction of Nancy Guthrie: the strange digital trail involving Nest camera footage that supposedly didn’t exist, and what it means for your data privacy. Plus the latest Epstein file developments, including newly revealed names, political finger-pointing, and mounting pressure on powerful figures.

    And in this week's installment of After Dark, we're getting honest about marriage, long-term partnerships, divorce, and what commitment looks like for Millennials who aren’t in a rush to walk down the aisle.
