    Progressives need to learn from our mistakes on antiracism. Here's how.

    I'm laying out exactly what I have to say to people on the far-left, the far-right, and everyone in-between. And I'm not mincing words.  (This first episode, I intended to only share with paid subscribers, but I decided to release for everyone. It just had to reach more ears, okay?) You can expect more new episodes, just for paid members, coming this week. If that's you, get excited. If it's not, there's still time to join. Get in on membership today, so you don't miss future episodes.
