Mary Trump goes on offense against the insurrectionists still running for office, then welcomes Wajahat Ali, Dr. Allison Gill, and Bob Cesca for a powerful midterm strategy session covering the fight against enduring racism, taking mainstream media to task for ignoring fascism, and giving back to the Democratic base. They also break down how susceptible our institutions are to bad actors, and call on us to be the change instead of waiting for help from those in charge.
