Thank you as always to Danielle Moodie for the opportunity to continue this series. In today’s episode of The Check-In, Danielle and me get into the feeling that’s been developing for years now but came into full-force this weekend with Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies reacting to protests with disturbing AI slop depicting abuse on the people. We discuss Trump as a symbol of American capitalism and its hollowness, a welcome example of what we do not want to be and what we must fight against. That leads to talk about finding true value and a direction for the future that isn’t perfect but is human and worthy.
