Spinning Lies into Gold: Ep 11 - "Yes, and ..." for Democracy

What if the biggest danger isn’t the lies themselves… but how quickly we normalize them?This episode began with frustration about lies, greed, and political manipulation… but it became a conversation about something much larger: the kind of world we want to create together.We explore how misinformation, greed, and fear distort public life — and why facts alone are not enough to change hearts. We talk about the importance of truth, the danger of normalizing corruption, and the challenge of reaching people without dehumanizing them in the process. From SNAP benefits to economic inequality to the future of democracy itself, we ask what happens when compassion disappears from public life.And we keep returning to one central question:What would it look like to build a society rooted not in fear and domination, but in love, dignity, truth, and shared humanity?Because even in difficult times, another future is still possible.We’re live every Friday morning at 11 am EDT. We talk about current issues but always bring it back around to hopeful action to create the future we want to see. Please join us!
