It was good to get back into conversation with my friend Danielle Moodie and a new episode of The Check-In. Today we discussed this strange moment in which the Epstein Scandal makes a lot of things clear, especially the corruption of the elites, the rottenness of our system, and how fascist victory is far from inevitable. That discussion is extremely important right now because, as we’ve talked about for months, this process, including the decline of America and collapse of what many thought was “normal,” is essential. What we’re experiencing now is clarity and, with it, a need to accept that “normal” wasn’t normal in the first place and, especially, that it isn’t coming back, which is actually a gift. We’re not chained to fantasy anymore. We’re free to imagine something better.
