Hey folks,

This one’s heavy. Katie Phang and I jumped on a live to unpack the chaos and pain of the past 24 hours—Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the right-wing disinfo-storm, and the fear so many of us are sitting with. We didn’t plan this, but we needed to process it together—and with all of you. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s essential. Don’t miss this one.

• [00:06:45] Katie breaks down the chaos around the Charlie Kirk investigation—and how Kash Patel’s botched handling has shattered trust in the FBI.

• [00:14:18] I talk about what it means to extend empathy to someone like Charlie Kirk, even when he wouldn’t return the favor.

• [00:22:51] We expose the double standard: why the right gets away with escalating rhetoric while Democrats get blamed for everything.

• [00:30:33] Katie shares the heartbreaking moment she had to explain the shooting to her 10-year-old daughter.

• [00:40:12] We close by talking about community, courage, and how we keep showing up even when we feel afraid.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, angry, or just trying to make sense of it all—you are not alone. This is a must-watch. And if you want to be part of a community that refuses to look away, that’s committed to truth, and that shows up even when it’s hard—become a paid subscriber today.

With urgency,
—Mike
