Welcome Back: it's only been 3 weeks?

It's good to be back with you all. It's been a minute since we've had an episode. In this episode, Matt LaVine and Dwight K. Lewis Jr discuss the impact of the first three weeks of the second Trump administration on marginalized communities. They emphasize the importance of community, resilience, and activism as a response to the administration's actions. Dwight shares his personal experiences of grief and anger, highlighting the need for collective healing and resistance. Matt leads a discussion on the concept of white [patriarchal, heteronormative, capitalist] supremacist settler colonialism and its implications, urging white allies to recognize their role in the system and to support themselves, marginalized folx, and the community at large. Furthermore, Dwight and Matt discuss these concepts and the ways that they exist as an “organizing principle” continuously shaping our world. They also recommend resources like "My Grandmother's Hands" by Resmaa Menakem and "Black Joy" by Tracey M. Lewis-Giggetts for personal and community healing.
