๐บ What is Political Violence? Understanding Language
We will hear alot of language from the media and politicians in the next few days about political violence. It's important we frame the tragedy in Salt Lake City in the context of where we are socially/politically.

โOur Fall podcasts and videos series is going on the ground and getting to the roots of the authoritarian tilt that is gripping the Western world. We've been right in the action over the last 60 days! So far we've covered:
- โ๐๏ธ Land and Water rights in the Southwest

- โ๐ค Cowboys & Queer Culture
- โ๐ฝ The Big Apple & It's Big Wealth Gap

โI am so excited to share what we've learned (& what the media and Big Tech don't want us to understand) so we can build our agency and build the change we deserve. There are powerful forces trying to stop us, but our collective power will always be more powerful.
