65. Responding to TPUSA Women’s Conference Jun 29, 2026 01:43:34 Turning Point USA led a womens leadership conference in June which brought women of all ages together to tell them... not to lead. They lied about things like the witch trials saying that it was the trials that were first wave feminism and they were killing those women because of abortions and that feminist historians recorded the accounts of the slaugher we know. NONE of that is true. For all the
64. The Joy of Resistance Jun 22, 2026 01:31:29 Thank you to the patrons who make this possible! patreon.com/montemaderWhen everything feels impossible (and lately at times it has) when power concentrates, institutions bend, and the news is a daily gut-punch, we're told that joy is irresponsible. That real resistance has to be grim all the time or you aren't doing it right. Thats not true. Joy. Art. Music. Song. Are all integral components of r
63. Why The 'L' is First Jun 15, 2026 00:55:08 A couple years ago I learned that there is a reason that the 'L' comes first in LGBTQ+ and I want to share that with you.Through much of the 20th century, "gay" served as an umbrella term, and early activist groupings often led with gay men, producing orderings like "GLB." The shift to placing "L" first took hold in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the United
62. Holy War Jun 8, 2026 01:20:11 In March 2026, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stood before a Pentagon worship service and prayed for "overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy", calling for the eternal damnation of America's enemies. Military commanders across every branch have been reported, in over 200 formal complaints, telling troops the Iran war is "God's plan" and that Trump was "anointed by Jes
61. “The Civil Rights Movement Part 2: Freedom Summer” Jun 1, 2026 01:06:09 My entire life I heard my Dad say "Freedom isn't free" and perhaps the best application of that is the Civil Rights Movement. It's easy from a place of comfort to not fully understand the risk and sacrifice required for... the right to vote. The right as a black person to have equal and fair access to elections, job protection, education. We are in our own Civil Rights moment now and we can learn
60. The Civil Rights Movement Part 1- Rights are Never Given May 27, 2026 01:03:58 Apologies for the lateness of the post, our dashboard encountered a technical difficulty that showed my podcasts didn't exist and had to be fixed before an upload could happen. Thanks for your patience. After being at Montgomery last weekend I wanted to do a deep dive into what I never learned as a kid. What led to the Civil Rights movement, its danger, its courage. Part one takes us through the C
59. Ronald Reagan Part 2: Reaganomics May 18, 2026 01:32:15 We met the carefully curated Ronald Reagan in part 1. We saw the Hollywood grin, the borrowed cowboy myth, the astrologer in the basement, the informant and the corporate lackey. In Part 2, we follow the money. The sale of a new economic dream for Americans during a time of desperate stagflation, unemployment and uncertainty. And what it sold has cost this country more than any single presidency i
58. Ronald Reagan Part 1: The Marriage May 11, 2026 01:20:52 Three decades before the White House, Ronald Reagan was being assembled in plain sight. This episode traces the apprenticeship most highlight reels skip: the New Deal Democrat who became FBI informant "T-10," the B-list actor who turned a corporate speaking tour into a political movement, and the lapsed Midwestern kid who would one day broker the marriage of the Republican Party and white evangeli
57. Where Do We Go From Here? With Crystal Dawn May 4, 2026 01:15:04 In this deeply personal episode, Crystal Dawn opens up about the slow, often invisible process of religious deconstruction. Raised inside a tight-knit faith community where belief wasn't just a doctrine but the architecture of every relationship, Crystal walks us through the cracks that started as questions and widened into a chasm she could no longer pretend wasn't there.Crystal Dawn is a writer
