    See Through Copaganda: Alec Karakatsanis

    04/02/2026 | 50 mins.
    We discuss the main goals of copaganda: narrowing our conception of safety and threat, constantly warning us that those harms are increasing, and telling us that the solution to our fears is more investment in the punishment bureaucracy.
     
    Alec's civic action toolkit recommendations are: 
    1) Educate yourself on how copaganda works
    2) Read the Copaganda book in a group!
     
    Alec Karakatsanis is the founder and executive director of Civil Rights Corps and author of Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News.

    Economic Populists: Adam Green

    03/19/2026 | 43 mins.
    We discuss  the strategy for electing from-the-gut economic populists who exude outsider vibes and who acknowledge that our system is broken. They are often outsiders who believe in issues such as protecting social security and taxing billionaires, which are super majoritarian issues. Outsiders can win in blue, purple, and red states.
     
    Adam's civic action toolkit recommendations are: 
    1) Join effective groups like boldprogressives.org
    2) Support a bold progressive candidate running for office
     
    Adam Green is Co-Founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC).
