So, my friend and I have a launched a new weekly show (Wednesdays at 12pm eastern) we’re calling the Check-In. We’ll go live and discuss the experience of living through rising authoritarianism, get into the emotional and psychological toll, where we are, and what we can learn from the moment to get past this crisis and make something better. In this first episode, we touch base and, guess what, we’re not feeling great.

His entire worldview is wrong.

One of my favorite writers for awhile now has been David Roth, who is an editor, writer, and employee-owner of one of the last essential websites, Defector.com. In addition to covering sports and culture, Roth has become an unparalleled observer and commenter on politics, including one banger of a column after another that leads readers into the minds and continually warped and warpening world being shaped by feckless and cruel billionaires.

Thank you for joining me for my first Live conversation and for the thousands who came out to watch. You’ll find here a recording of our discussion. We talk about Sarah’s new book The Last American Road Trip, the experience of living in this crisis, thoughts on the roiling disaster, and, perhaps most importantly, what it is that we must fight to protect and preserve. I’ll be doing more of these conversations in the future and I thank you for the support and kindness.

This Wednesday, April 2nd, at 8pm ET I’ll be hosting my first Substack Live event with the indomitable Sarah Kendzior. We’ll be discussing her new book The Last American Road Trip, as well as our thoughts on what is currently transpiring in our politics. Sarah and I make it a habit of having these conversations from time-to-time in order to keep things straight and give people an idea of what’s going on, what to expect, and where we can fight back. I really hope you’ll join us.

We’re under a constant assault on our rights but also our emotional core. As I’ve said, authoritarianism means to destroy our ability to imagine something better, to isolate us, make us feel alone and powerless to stop it. But we are not alone and we are not powerless.

I start this with some thoughts on hope during these hard times. I have struggled and I’m sure you have to maintain a sense in the face of all this brutality and these roadblocks, but we need reminded that living is resistance.

Hopefully you’re having a decent one, finding opportunities for rest and joy and maybe even adventure. I recorded this episode of Audio From A Collapsing State feeling angered by the Democrats in the Senate and the ongoing capitulation.
