#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.

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.

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!

This week, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social joins us to flip the script on who’s really extreme in American politics — and why the “common sense” ideas keep winning when people actually hear them. (3/3)
LISTEN NOW: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/doc...
Wanting healthcare you can actually afford? Wanting your tax dollars invested in your kid’s school? That’s common sense. BUT, letting trillion-dollar corporations write the rules for the rest of us? Maybe that’s the radical part. (2/3)
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
On the podcast, Ann connects Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and today's book bans to help us understand why defending accurate history is some of democracy's most urgent work. You don’t want to miss this one. (3/3)
OUT NOW: buff.ly/FV06qmc
The Lost Cause was a coordinated campaign. It rewrote textbooks, built 2,000+ monuments, and shaped films coming out of Hollywood. Ann Bausum has spent a long time tracing it back to its source. She joins us this week to shine a light for us. (2/3)
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
Join us as we revisit this fantastic conversation. We break down the real drivers of safety: housing, healthcare, education, connection—and why investing in people, not cages, is the way forward.
You’re really not going to want to miss this one! OUT NOW: buff.ly/mOKvRpB
This week on FH, we're sharing our episode with Alec Karakatsanis, who joined us to explain how “copaganda” sells fear, then offers only one “solution” by pouring endless resources into the punishment machine while ignoring what actually makes communities safe. (2/3)
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.
