In this moment of escalating authoritarianism, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. While we should be clear-eyed about the threats we face, we should also never underestimate the people’s capacity to push back. That’s the feeling I was left with after this genuinely engaging and substantive Substack Live conversation with Joy Reid on Thursday afternoon. This talk left me more informed about our crucial moment in history, but even more fired up and ready to keep spreading the truth.

On Thursday, I had a great Substack Live conversation with Marlon Weems, publisher of The Journeyman. Weems spent thirty years in finance, including over a decade as a trader on Wall Street, before authoring capital markets research for global finance firms such as Thomson Reuters, FIS, and Charles Schwab. Weems knows the markets, and in this conversation, he helps me dissect the broader implications of Trump’s reckless tariff policies.
