Well damn! That's a good mission statement! Thanks you guys, that was a fantastic talk!

"Anyone who kills someone is mentally ill," (besides actual self defense). I was thinking about this yesterday. That's an excellent point. Great conversation.

To the point about the normalization of white supremacy and musical propaganda and the Overton Window, the recent song celebrating lynching is a perfect example. That song would have been considered outrageous and the singers and those who amplify it would have been "cancelled" just a few years ago. The shifted baseline is clear.

Ungh... I don't think I've heard that song and I'm pretty certain I don't want to. How unfortunate. How did our music go from anti-war to pro-war? I guess the oligarchs saw what happened in the 60s and bought up all the studios.

We need to protect our arts.

Yeah...on top of it, there's a "rapper" involved. I'll send you Wes's article about it. It's incredible how far the window has shifted.

Also, I watched the clips from our talk. We were COOKING today! What a pleasure it is to talk with you Elizabeth!

It's really inspiring to talk with y'all about these deep truths. It's been frustrating to scream into the void for a decade.

Yeah, haha, now we can scream at each other... and it's much better!

Lol! In positive ways. Re the end of this, in imposing accountability and consequences for MAGA, we need to stop being hung up on shunning each other over not being our version of "perfect" liberals and direct that ire at people who are straight up committed to fascism.

The regime wants to control all narratives.
