Episode 9 | Sowing Chaos
We spent some time today discussing four things: the order for public schools to remove DEI initiativestive order impacting state and local elections, the continued capitulation and resistance playing out, and a significant bungle in a deportation case. Some of these things have been shoved to the third and fourth pages of the papers and need our attention.
Of course, we follow this with good news: a map of which serves as our graphic. But y’all, we gotta make our own good news. What are you doing personally to stay sane and care for yourself? A colleague and I are offering a hybrid support group for those suffering from political anxiety. It starts April 30, 11:30-1 CST. You can register here or email me at holly@hollyhudley.com.
I am linking to a few other things:

On Tyranny, a book by Timothy Snyder
The Ordinary Life Podcast from Sunday, April 6. My mentor and I teach this class together on occasion. Bill is wonderful, and Sunday’s talk felt particularly important.
