New Episode! >> #96 - Power Source: How Beliefs About Leadership Shape History & The Present Moment w/ Suze Wilson, PhD. She and I discuss the history and significance of critical theory as a tool in understanding and transforming leadership dynamics to foster greater inclusivity and equity.

A new episode of The Deeper Pulse is now streaming on Spotify & Apple Podcasts. Episode 95 >> No Kings 2.0: Embodied Resistance & 'Followership' Reimagined. In the words of Timothy Snyder: “Do not obey in advance.” #thedeeperpulse #nokings2025

Today I’m re-releasing an episode from two years ago, because it’s more relevant now than ever. 🎧🔥 ENCORE - Trauma & Control: How Authoritarianism Shows Up In Wellness Culture & In Our Bodies | Magdalena Weinstein #thedeeperpulse

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Today’s pod release challenges the gender binary. And yeah, that's a photo of me from 2002. If it sends your brain scrambling, that feeling is the entire point of Ep #91 - Beyond The Binary: A Critical Look at Gender Essentialism #thedeeperpulse #pridemonth #genderfluidity

Thank you @jayapal.house.gov for your fiery defense of trans youth.

Patients, their families, and their doctors should make medical decisions—not politicians.

I have been in the LA area all week for a conference & decided to venture downtown for the No Kings protest today. #nokings #nokingsprotest #nokingsday #goodtrouble #fightfacism #powertothepeople #democracymeanseveryone #peacefulprotest90

The No Kings mobilizations on June 14 were already planned as a peaceful stand against authoritarian overreach and the gross abuse of power Trump’s Administration has shown.

Now, this military escalation only confirms what we’ve known: This government wants to rule by force, not serve the people.

On Saturday, more than 1,800 rallies will take place—peaceful, organized, and united. From major cities to small towns, we’ll rise together and say: We reject political violence. We reject fear as governance. We reject the myth that only some deserve freedom. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

New Episode! 🎧🔥 Ep.89 - The Penny Peace Project: Rural Organizing Initiative & Bridging Culture War Divides

#thedeeperpulse #roi #ruralorganizinginitiative #belikepenny #pennypeaceproject #verdevalley #cottonwood #cornville #clarkdale #organizing #hopeisaverb #democracymeanseveryone #resistfascism

Happy Pride Month! I'll be celebrating louder than ever, featuring (more) queer voices on the pod. I hope you'll join me to fight for rights & dignity for all. If we stand together, the bullies will soon learn it's impossible to police or silence us. #happypride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #pridemonth #thedeeperpulse

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. 🎧🔥 Ep.88 - Power To The People: Decolonizing Our Psyches & Reimagining Leadership w/ Nikki G is now streaming. #thedeeperpulse #powertothepeople #nokings #democracymeanseveryone

Nikki G isn’t the type to say “I told you so.” One year ago, she was on the podcast, walking us through the evangelical vision behind Project 2025 and the looming theocratic dominionism of the far right. Now that the NAR agenda is coming to pass, she’s back to regroup. Now streaming.

“If you are watching this right now and you’re thinking I don’t want a king in this county, good news: Neither do we. And you can be part of this.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social

We’re mobilizing nationwide on June 14 to say No Kings. Find an event near you or start one: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

May Day protest in Phoenix, AZ #MayDayStrong #MayDay2025 #phoenix #goodtrouble #nevergiveup

Leadership is HIGHLY vulnerable to social proof. Free speech is THE single greatest threat to dictatorial power & that is why they are trying to silence us. + We have to stop waiting for “leaders” to save us. Followership IS part of the problem. Let’s stand together, FOR one another. #MayDayStrong

… Oh that’s cold

It isn't just a headline, unfortunate incident, bad policy. It is a story about humans who are being denied consideration, value, worth, due process, and dignity. That's enough of a reason to take on the risk. If you feel helpless, I do, too. And also, I refuse to bow down to this madness.

It’s #EarthDay — but some folks still treat our planet like it’s disposable.

Let’s be real: Black and Brown communities feel the impact of environmental neglect first and worst.

I’m fighting for clean air, safe water, and a livable future for all of us.

Good job team America

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with “mom” & “dad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador.

Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

The Antidote to Despair is Action (@JessicaCraven). I'm certainly finding this to be true. Standing up... not just for MY rights, but for the rights of people I will never know... is keeping me vertical. Also the signs and the dogs. #flagstaff #protests #handsoff #defenddemocracy #defeatfascism

We The People have risen
& together we can defeat fascism.

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world.

Don't let him be forgotten.

Up at 3am... gravity can have me. Dark musings about this place that America has lost and found itself in.

I woke up at 3 a.m. the last three nights. I wrote this without a light-of-day filter. Read this if you're perimenopausal, freaked out by reality, and sometimes losing a grip on hope.

These Democratic senators need to hear from their constituents right now. Urge them to reject the GOP’s voter suppression bill and protect our freedom to vote.

No, I don’t think he believes it. Yes, the right-wing media ecosystem claims he’s being blackmailed. And yes, I’m going to share this every time an anti-vaxxer says the vaccine doesn’t work, is an agent of Satan, etc.
