Rick Smith talks with Graham Trainor, president of the Oregon AFL-CIO, who debunks media myths about “war-torn” Portland, describing a peaceful, united city resisting Trump’s attempted militarization. Trainor explains how Oregon’s labor movement and local leaders are standing firm against federal overreach and fighting to protect jobs, rights, and democracy. Later, comedian and podcaster Pete Dominick joins the show, bringing humor and hope to dark times. He argues that laughter, free speech, and community action are essential tools for confronting authoritarianism—and proves that even in chaos, collective resistance and courage can still prevail.
