Hey folks,

I sat down with my friend and powerhouse progressive Stephanie Miller for a conversation that hits just about everything: ICE terrorizing Chicago, the moral rot behind the government shutdown, and why Democrats must hold the line right now. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or angry—watch this:

  • [00:01:07] Stephanie lights into Trump’s chaos week—shutdown threats, foreign policy disasters, and why “fuckery” is the word of the day

  • [00:02:28] I break down ICE’s dystopian actions in Chicago, including masked agents, fake reports, and zip-tying kids

  • [00:04:04] Stephanie calls out the moral Rubicon we’ve crossed and why it’s deliberate—this is about provoking martial law

  • [00:08:09] We talk about what Democrats are really up against, and why we can’t afford to lose the shutdown fight

  • [00:18:28] Why mainstream media is failing, and why you should ignore the despair and keep showing up

If you want more of this work—raw, honest, and unfiltered—please consider becoming a paid subscriber. It helps us build the studio, pay staff a living wage, and keep the momentum going.

With urgency,

—Mike
