They Hate This Movement - Which Means It’s Working with Ezra Levin
When millions of Americans take to the streets and do it with joy, laughter, and inflatable unicorns you know something historic is happening. This episode, Jo sits down with Ezra Levin, co‑founder of Indivisible and co‑organizer of the “No Kings” protests, to unpack how the largest peaceful demonstrations in U.S. history came together and why joy is now a weapon against authoritarianism. They break down how a movement built on inclusion and “tactical frivolity” is reshaping resistance, what comes next for the No Kings Alliance, and how ordinary people (yes, even in the reddest small towns) are reclaiming democracy one community at a time.

Tearing Down the House: Jo & Andy Ostroy on Trump Distractions, Epstein Fallout & Democracy on the Line
Jo and Andy Ostroy dissect the project in plain sight: a movement that isn’t just eroding norms — it is tearing apart the White House and refashioning it into a pagan palace of gold and power. They examine how Trump weaponizes distraction to keep the country overwhelmed, how the Epstein scandal could still explode into the center of politics, and what happens when accountability collapses and impunity becomes the operating system. With MAGA fractures starting to show, they ask whether unity among democracy-defenders can stop a takeover designed to melt down American institutions from the inside out — and what the consequences are if it fails.

Don Lemon: Action Cannot Wait
“The moment you start standing up to cowards, you realize how cowardly they really are.” - Don Lemon
In one of the most powerful episodes yet, Don Lemon joins Jo for a call to action. They confront the Republican Party’s moral collapse, the erosion of democratic norms, and the rising tide of fascism masquerading as patriotism. Lemon opens up about what he witnessed on the ground in Chicago—ICE raids on innocent citizens, racial profiling, and law enforcement overreach and explains why Americans cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. Jo and Don also discuss the upcoming “No Kings” protest, the importance of civil resistance, and what real patriotism looks like when democracy is under siege.

Today, Jo and Kim dive into the “fear bubble” so many Americans are stuck in: insulated lives, rising authoritarian threats, and the chilling new reality of criminalizing dissent. Kim breaks down Trump’s latest moves, and how quickly people are giving up or tuning out, thinking these threats are someone else’s problem.From real talk about what keeps Kim up at night (“Are you worried? Are you afraid?”) to Jo’s frustration shopping at Aldi while the world burns, they give clarity about what’s at stake if this slide accelerates.
