Hey folks,
I finally got to sit down with my friend and fellow truth-teller Jessica Craven for a wide-ranging, emotionally raw conversation. We talked Jimmy Kimmel, consumer power, RFK’s latest nonsense, and how we stay grounded and active in a time of nonstop chaos. Jessica always brings clarity, hope, and a fierce urgency that I really needed this week.
[00:04:01] Jess reflects on the emotional toll of staying politically engaged—and why this moment feels different
[00:13:18] Why Jimmy Kimmel’s reinstatement matters—and how Disney misread the cultural moment
[00:24:02] Americans’ hidden superpower: how collective consumer action forced a corporate retreat
[00:36:40] What the Colbert and Kimmel firings reveal about the future of media and independent platforms
[00:52:09] Jess and I get candid about hope, burnout, and building a resilient progressive movement
With urgency,
—Mike
