Hey folks,
Tonight I went deep with former Chicago alderman, Sun-Times CEO, and all-around democracy fighter Edwin Eisendrath. We got personal about what’s happening on our streets, why this moment in Chicago is bigger than Chicago, and how we stay human while we fight back. This one hit hard—and it’s a must-watch if you care about community, courage, and the line between law and lawlessness.
[00:01:07] Edwin sets the tone: “What you do matters right now.” We talk grief, anger, and why showing up—hearts, bodies, and voices—actually moves people.
[00:09:50] The ICE reality check. Videos, pellet guns, and a city under pressure—and why we refuse to be intimidated or dehumanized.
[00:20:12] Making schools safe in a crackdown: Know-Your-Rights nights, community caravans, and the quiet work that keeps kids and parents breathing.
[00:33:45] Shutdown politics, propaganda, and why “clean CR” talk is a con—plus the deeper fight over emergency powers.
[00:49:30] After we win: accountability, structural reform, and refusing the “turn down the temperature” trap. We talk fascism—and how we actually beat it.
With urgency,
—Mike
