The past few days have been a reminder that authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself with a single headline—it creeps in step by step. I’ve been sounding the alarm about how administrative maneuvers, legal shifts, and voter suppression tactics are hollowing out the meaning of our elections, and I’ve had the chance to share that message across several conversations.
CNN This Morning with Audie Cornish — We dug into the ways authoritarianism is seeping into the lives of every American, every day.
The Briefing with Jen Psaki — I talked with Jen about ways we can push back against Trump’s authoritarian assault.
MSNBC’s The Weekend — I joined to explain how authoritarian leaders consolidate power incrementally, and why we must fight Republican attempts to manipulate our electoral maps.
Substack LIVE with Kahlil Greene — Together, we explored how young leaders are recognizing and resisting these tactics, and what it means to build a “counter-playbook” for freedom and power.
These conversations all return to the same point: the authoritarian assault that we are seeing in our country today is being advanced through “ordinary” tools—laws, maps, bureaucracy, and fear—that can make our elections meaningless if left unchecked. We cannot let them corrode our democracy to the point of no return. Our antidote is vigilance, activation, and imagination about the democracy we deserve to rebuild.
