Episode 1

This week, we discuss some of the impacts of mass deportation, a private citizen running DOGE, and withdrawal from the international economy. One edit: Ta-Nehisi Coates conversed with Kiese Laymon in Houston. We initially thought it was before the election, but it was actually November 18, after the election.

A few references that we mention:

1) Justice for All Immigrants, an affordable legal service for immigrants who want to get their status in order, is offering an online “know your rights” workshop.

2) If you haven’t already, you can view Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde's full sermon here.

3) A few sources we like are Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters From an American, The Contrarian, and Stacy Abrams’ podcast “Assembly Required.”

We all have a part to play in this grand design, y’all, so let’s figure out the best version of ourselves to be!
