One Nation, Indivisible with Andrew Seidel

Fish Stark joins Andrew to talk about bringing empathy back to America and how folks can get $1,000 grants for empathy projects that will take place across the country on May 2. This is much bigger than just a single project, this is an answer to the toxicity of Christian Nationalism, MAGA politics, and the division in this country. But it could also be the answer for growing the secular movement. This is the very time Fish and Andrew have chatted and history is lucky it was (mostly) recorded. 
The American Empathy Project. Empathy project guidelines. I donated $100 and hope y’all will too.

If you can’t support AHA or the project, you can still spread the word by sharing the social media videos announcing the project. Or just share them anyway.

Andrew brings back Annika Brockschmidt, friend of the pod, German historian and expert on American Christian nationalism. One year after her first appearance in the inaugural episode, Annika tells Andrew how the US is doing on its slide toward authoritarianism/fascism. A wide ranging and surprising conversation. 
Brockschmidt is a journalist, scholar, and author of Amerikas Gotteskrieger: Wie die Religiöse Rechte die Demokratie gefährdet (roughly translated as “America’s Godly Warriors: How Religious Right Endangers Democracy”).

The Trump regime is arresting journalists, raiding their houses, assaulting citizens, murdering people in the streets, and more, but we’re fighting back. Minnesota is leading the way, judges are freeing people illegally arrested, including 5-year-old Liam Ramos, Texans in deep red Tarrant County are voting blue, and more.
Adam Serwer’s Atlantic article “Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong” is here.
Judge Biery’s opinion in the Liam Ramos case can be read here.

The Trump Regime and Bondi’s DOJ are going after anti-ICE protesters who protested in a church that has an ICE Pastor (it’s a thing). The FACE Act is the newest talking point and prosecution point for the regime. What is the FACE Act? Why was it passed? How is it being used against these protesters? Andrew explains it all. But first, the regime altered photos of the arrest of the protester in deliberately cruel ways.

The entire Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is going to hear oral argument on two cases involving laws that force public schools to display a version of the Ten Commandments drafted by politicians who think they know better than parents. Andrew examines the basis for these law: the claim that the Ten Commandments are foundation of American law and government. 
Here’s a link to some screenshots of the Google NGram graphs that I mentioned.
