The biggest threat to democracy isn't foreign interference. It's elected leaders who dismantle it from within.
So, how do we push back? Through organizing, resistance, and pressure on elite actors, we defend the institutions that make freedom possible: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/equ...
Freedom isn't free. It requires power.
This week, Alex Zakaras explains why unions went from 30% to 6% of the private sector - and how we rebuild the collective power that once delivered real freedom for working people.

$50 billion stolen from workers every year through wage theft.
Tips withheld. Overtime unpaid. Less than minimum wage.

The laws are on the books. We just stopped enforcing them.
Is it possible to expand freedom to everyone, not just the wealthy few? YES!

95% of Americans support universal background checks.
Yet Congress won't pass it because a tiny, well-funded lobby convinced politicians their careers will end.
The gun industry is 10x smaller than oil and gas. But they've mastered fear better than anyone.
This is propaganda working as designed.
The real power in America? It’s with YOU and all 335 million of us.

Zohran Mamdani won NYC mayor because he said three things over and over: Freeze rent. Free childcare. Free buses.
That's it. No jargon. No compromise.
Just material needs, repeated until everyone knew exactly what he stood for.
Message discipline is how you win.

See you next week. 🦃
This week we're featuring Shifting Terrain - Colin Davis and Reece Peck break down why progressive messaging fails and what class cluelessness costs the left.
Uncomfortable truths incoming.

TOMORROW: This week we're sharing an episode from Shifting Terrain with Colin Davis and Reece Peck. They're asking the hard questions about liberal messaging, class politics, and whether a "left Joe Rogan" even exists.
Worth a listen if you want to actually win.
Movements changed the story on marriage equality in two decades.
We went from "defense of marriage" being common sense to love being love.
That's narrative power.
The same playbook works for economic justice, climate, all of it. Tell the story. Organize around it. Keep going.
#ICYMI - The will to tell different stories is everywhere. Some movements are already changing the narrative.
Shanelle Matthews joins us to share how everyday people, not powerful elites, are the real force for narrative change and how we can build it together.
Tune in NOW!
Narrative change is a team sport.
Shanelle Matthews reminds us that telling your story alone isn't enough: organizing with others to challenge dominant narratives is the point. Real power is built in community, not in isolation.
Listen here: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/sto...
"Defund the police" spent three years dominating national conversation.
It put abolition on the agenda. Made people question why cops were funded with billions while our public schools crumble. Started conversations about what safety means.
This narrative took years to build momentum. Persistence.
Narrative power is more than just messaging. We need to challenge whose stories get to define "normal."
Join us this week to learn why movements must contest cultural hegemony, where elite beliefs become common sense that everyone accepts without question: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/sto...
What people accept as "common sense" isn't always natural. It's a story that got repeated enough times.
This week, Shanelle Matthews shows how social movements rewrite those stories and why your job is to make new ideas feel inevitable.
