Threats and swatting attempts aimed at GOP holdouts expose a movement so brittle it treats basic resistance as revolt.
One-person-one-vote is newly imperiled as extremists try to resurrect systems that once erased urban and Black political power.
Trump’s collapsing approval accelerates every time lawlessness stops looking theoretical and starts endangering U.S. service members.
Lisa Senecal and David Pepper open the door to a truth many states are now living inside: anti-democratic projects only advance when people forget that their own autonomy is at stake. The Indiana story makes that plain, with Republicans balking not out of moderation but out of a deeper instinct that no outside power—no matter how loud or vengeful—gets to dictate the future of their communities. That recoil becomes a kind of civic muscle memory, especially when threats of violence intrude, because nothing exposes the weakness of a political project faster than its need to intimidate its own allies. And once you recognize how easily manufactured pressure collapses under scrutiny, you see the broader pattern: the same forces trying to split Indianapolis four ways are the ones trying to bend the legal meaning of democracy back toward a past where representation was a privilege, not a right.
Tune in for a conversation that refuses to accept that the slide to autocracy is inevitable.
