#ICYMI - Michael Zakaras, the director of @ashoka.org US, joins us to discuss the vision of an everyone-a-changemaker society. It’s a really fun and enlightening conversation. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙

We’re all part of a community in one way or another. Maybe “getting involved in politics” doesn’t have to be as drastic as running for office. Maybe you can start small! OUT NOW: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/eve...

What is the current state of our civic health? Depending on who you ask, the answer may vary. But most will agree that civic engagement far and wide needs a little… spark. Curious? Michael Zakaras of @ashoka.org US has us covered. TUNE IN: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/eve...

Ashoka is the world's largest network of social entrepreneurs and a global leader in social innovation. But what does that mean for everyday people? We’ve got you covered. LISTEN HERE: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/eve...

It might seem like a tall task, but we don’t have to do it alone. Getting involved at the local level is simple — and we can help you take the first step. LISTEN HERE: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/eve...

Can you be a changemaker? Yes, YOU! In times like these when we question the power of the everyday person, it’s important to remember that you CAN have impact. And I promise we’re not just saying that — we can prove it.. 🧵(1/3)

#ICYMI – We’re joined this week by @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, candidate for U.S. Senate in the state of Michigan. Tune in to hear why public health and democracy are the same fight. Available wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙️

A person in Flint and a person in Escanaba don’t know each other’s lives. They carry the same struggles... but maybe nobody has ever built the bridge between them. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social joins us on why those bridges matter more than ever. OUT NOW: buff.ly/RHpTCTL

When we decide certain ideas can’t be discussed, we push people outside of democracy entirely. That’s when things get dangerous. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social joins us on why democracy has to make room for every conversation. TUNE IN: buff.ly/RHpTCTL

Democracy doesn’t wait for you. It lives in the conversations you have, the meetings you show up to, the moments you choose to engage. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social joins us this week on what participation really demands of us right now. LISTEN HERE: buff.ly/RHpTCTL

Democracy has always asked one really difficult thing of us: that we stay in the room with people who see the world differently. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social joins us this week to talk about why that muscle matters more than ever right now. LISTEN HERE: buff.ly/RHpTCTL

You can watch this week's full video episode on YouTube! It's a fantastic conversation with Abdul El-Sayed, candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan. The midterms are coming... don't miss this one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=op0o...

We throw the word “radical” around a lot in politics. But what if we’ve been pointing it in the wrong direction? Let’s go a little deeper… 🧵(1/3)

TOMORROW: Democracy runs on persuasion (the good kind!). And persuasion means showing up in rooms where people don’t already agree with you. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social goes everywhere and talks to everyone! And he joins us this week for more. Tune in TOMORROW wherever you get your pods! 🎙️

#ICYMI - Ann Bausum joins the podcast to discuss the foundational lies of the Lost Cause, the organic nature of more recent lies, and the constant vigilance necessary to defend democracy. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙

Maybe the reason we’re so sick of hearing about "unprecedented times” is that we've been here before. Maybe not exactly, but it’s important we know our history. THAT’S how we’re going to defend democracy. OUT NOW: buff.ly/FV06qmc

100,000 members. Millions of dollars. 2,000+ monuments. The United Daughters of the Confederacy built the Confederate myth from the ground up! And America is still living inside it. TUNE IN: buff.ly/FV06qmc

Slavery was the cause of the Civil War (the Confederates said so themselves, by the way). But that truth became inconvenient. Tune in with Ann Bausum to understand how the lie took hold. LISTEN HERE: buff.ly/FV06qmc

There’s a threat to democracy that emerged in 1865 and is still running today. And if we’re to truly defend democracy, we have to stay vigilant! So let's trace it from the beginning... 🧵 (1/3)

We ALL know those monuments… the ones that went up during Jim Crow, placed in front of courthouses to send a message to Black Americans about where power stood. Removing them is removing propaganda. LISTEN HERE: buff.ly/FV06qmc

TOMORROW: The lies you learned about the Civil War were engineered. This week, historian Ann Bausum helps us open our eyes to the truth! Tune in tomorrow wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙️

The Bill of Rights was never built for a world where millions are cycled through jails every year. This week on FH, we're sharing our convo with @equalityalec.bsky.social, co-founder of the Civil Rights Corps and author of Copaganda. LISTEN HERE 🎧 buff.ly/mOKvRpB

Change is a team sport. @equalityalec.bsky.social of the Civil Rights Corps joined us on the show to remind us that organizing with others isn’t just powerful — it is the point. Real democracy is built in community, not in isolation. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙🎙

The punishment system in the US has never been about justice. It’s always been about protecting power — and we're seeing play out in real time as ICE continues to terrorize communities across the nation. Join us in revisiting our episode on #copaganda with @equalityalec.bsky.social: buff.ly/mOKvRpB

How does the punishment machine really work? Now more than ever we need to have a straight answer to this question. So start here! This week, we’re sharing our episode with @equalityalec.bsky.social. Let's listen in with fresh ears... TUNE IN: buff.ly/mOKvRpB

We’re told that we'll be and feel safer through more cops (and now ICE...), more jails, more punishment. But what if this isn't true? And we’re being led to believe this anyway? Actually, what if that’s a trap? 🧵(1/3)

TOMORROW: With ICE terrorizing communities across the US., it feels timely to share our episode with Alec Karakatsanis and refresh ourselves on the pillars of copaganda. Tune in tomorrow wherever you get your podcasts 🎙️

Nobody wakes up one day under authoritarianism. It's a slow Monday, then a slow Tuesday, then one day the window is closed and you miss it. We STILL have time.

#ICYMI - Even in the most restrictive places on earth, people find ways to push back. A teenager putting price tags in a supermarket to count the cost of a war no one was allowed to talk about. That's resistance. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙

They want us to stay isolated. This week, the co-founders of Stroika joined us to talk about why keeping people disconnected is one of the most powerful tools in the authoritarian playbook and what we can do to disrupt it. OUT NOW: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/the...

The social contract is being tested in ways most of us have never seen before. This week, Yelena and Tatyana join us to talk about what holds the line when institutions come under pressure and why civil society showing up is what makes the difference: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/the...

Do you need a clear-eyed assessment of where America stands? We have time! Let’s look at what the window to act looks like before it closes. LISTEN HERE: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/the...

Authoritarians need you to be isolated, overwhelmed, and scrolling alone. Your neighbors, family and friends are the antidote. It really is that simple.

The window to act is still open. For now. This week, the co-founders of Stroika join us to talk about where we actually are and what history tells us about what comes next. LISTEN HERE: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/the...

The authoritarian playbook isn't just about power. It's about money. And it always has been, hasn’t it??? 🧵(1/3)

TOMORROW: America has always believed it was immune to authoritarianism. But this week, we sit down with the co-founders of Stroika to talk about what the authoritarian playbook actually looks like and why we are not immune to it. 🎙️

Taxing billionaires: 90% support. Protecting Social Security: 85% support. These ideas are not "radical." They're just popular ones that nobody in power wants to fight for. Yet.

#ICYMI - The political rulebook says certain races can't be won. This week, Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee joins us to explain why that rulebook is wrong. Outsiders are winning. In red states. In swing districts. Everywhere.

What's actually breaking through the political noise right now? Candidates who are done playing it safe. This week, Adam Green joins us to talk about why people-first politics is winning in places nobody expected and what that means. OUT NOW: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/eco...

Economic populism is more than just a political ideology. It's how candidates can really connect to constituents! It’s how they win in places Democrats have written off for years. TUNE IN: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/eco...

Protecting Social Security has 85% support. So why does it keep feeling like it's on the chopping block? This week, Adam Green joins us to talk about the gap between what Americans actually want and what their government keeps doing instead. LISTEN HERE: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/eco...

The candidates breaking through right now aren't the most polished. They're the most authentic. Turns out voters are really good at telling the difference.

Taxing billionaires. 90% of Americans are for it. So why does it feel like nobody in Washington will touch it? This week, Adam Green joins us to talk about the gap between what people actually want and what politicians are willing to fight for. LISTEN HERE: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/eco...

Everyone throws around the word "progressive," but there isn’t just one definition, is there? What does “progressive” actually mean when the stakes are this high? We’ve got you covered… 🧵(1/3)

TOMORROW: The system isn't broken by accident. So what does it actually take to fix it? We're joined by @adamgreen321.bsky.social,of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee to talk about why bold outsiders are winning races that nobody expected and what that means for American politics. 🎙️

The best thing you can do to understand the biggest geopolitical shift of your lifetime? Go to China. See it for yourself. Meet the people. The world looks very different up close.

#ICYMI - America's greatest global advantage was never its military or its economy. It was its culture, its universities, its ideas and the way the world wanted to be part of it. That influence is still there. But it won't wait around forever.

20% unemployment among Chinese Gen Z. A generation told to dream big in a system that can't deliver. Sound familiar?
