Ansley Hutchinson, Tess Menzies, and Gabe Sanchez from Boredwalk's content team run through recent current events in the U.S. and what normal citizens can do to help stave off the encroaching fascist authoritarianism of the Trump regime. It's a great primer and source of encouragement for resisting that ANYONE can engage in.
You don't need to be a full-time activist, you don't need to come up with creative and witty protest signs — these are EASY things you can do in your daily life if you are concerned about racial profiling, imprisonment and/or deportation without due process, and rolling back protections for the bodily autonomy and electoral agency of women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ folks, etc.
Sometimes it's as easy as just paying attention. Yeah, it's a downer, but so is watching your favorite sports team lose or your favorite reality show twit getting voted off Idiot Island. Maybe take one night off from the trivial brainrot each week and stay informed by consuming news from legit media outlets with contrasting viewpoints to get a balanced take on what is going on, because this is what will help improve the economy and protect your friends and neighbors and family members from being wrongfully accused, jailed, or attacked by the government and the brainwashed citizens who think that stuff is OK.
After a nice palate cleanser courtesy of customer CP's review of their copy of our 90s activity book Whatever!, our intrepid co-hosts send the episode out by sharing their own answers to questions from Boredwalk's Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share their thoughts on: things they wished they had known sooner, the best things that have ever been said to them, and the foods they could eat every day without getting tired of them.
We're so pleased to be spending time in your ear balls. Come commiserate & laugh with us!
And if you'd like to have conversations as interesting and insightful as this one, head on over to Boredwalk.com to pick up your own Delve Decks!
