Hey folks,

No guest tonight — just me hanging out with all of you for a live Q&A that went in every direction. We talked about the chaos in D.C., the White House demolition, ICE, organizing, burnout, my favorite food, and what it means to stay human in a moment where everything makes you angry.

• [00:01:25] Breaking down Trump’s White House demolition — why it’s not about history or design, but ego and power.

• [00:06:27] A hard story about ICE tearing a family apart, and what real resistance looks like at the community level.

• [00:13:40] Why Democrats are starting to win the shutdown fight — and what that tells us about attention and message discipline.

• [00:18:25] A quiet reflection on rest, care, and why even throwing a baseball with my kid counts as political work right now.

• [00:36:55] Closing thoughts on what comes next — organizing, elections, and keeping hope alive through action.

If you’re feeling the urgency like we are, support this work by becoming a paid subscriber. Endless Urgency runs on the belief that we deserve better—and that change starts with truth, clarity, and community. Help power this movement and ensure we keep building the media ecosystem we need.

With urgency,

—Mike
