Hello Danger Corps!
Some Americans think Mitch McConnell is recovering. Our callers think he has been cremated, frozen like a popsicle and placed on “eternity leave.” One caller believes the only remaining line of communication requires a Ouija board. So yes, The People’s Hotline is once again doing extremely normal political analysis.
But underneath the laughter is some brutally real anger. A Florida voter unloads on Trump as everyday prices explode. A senior in Alabama says she is being forced to choose between medicine and food. An injured worker in Louisiana wonders whether working hard means anything anymore. And one gloriously furious Democrat from New Orleans wants to know when Americans are going to stop TALKING about resistance and start organizing.
Jim and Tiffany react to the wildest calls, debate whether memes can become activism and confront an important question: Why are minimum-wage workers held to higher standards than the people running Congress? We also reveal a huge new project designed to bring the Danger Corps more laughter, community and good trouble every single day.
We believe LAUGHTER and ACTIVISM are two of the most powerful tools we have in the fight for democracy.People deserve more than another reason to feel angry or helpless. They deserve a place to laugh, tell the truth, find their people and remember that what they do still matters.
That is why we created the Dangerous Daily Meme Letter, a free daily dose of memes, hotline calls, behind-the-scenes updates and dangerous laughter from our little pro-democracy pirate ship.
You aren’t just part of an audience. You are part of the Danger Corps, a growing family fighting for democracy without surrendering our joy. The number one way to support this mission is to become a paid subscriber. Your subscription helps us create more episodes, reach more people and build an independent community that cannot be bought, bullied or silenced.
We want you with us. Let’s get into some good trouble together. 💙
Get into fun trouble,
Jim, Tiffany & Nick 💙
