Why Are We Giving These Losers a Monopoly Over our Future? : A conversation with Ami Fields-Meyer

πŸŽ™οΈ PoliticsGirl πŸ• September 22, 2026 at 12:00 AM

As today’s guest, Ami Fields Meyer, reminds us in order to take back our future in this era of authoritarianism we need to get in league with a lot of different people. We are in a period of real trauma, but if we can put our differences aside and get past our own fear, the day of accounting will come. As Ahmi says, β€œThey’re not going to get away with this shit. So whether we’re talking about the authoritarians trying to take over our country, or the tech oligarchs who think they are the only ones who get to decide our futures, we need to stay skeptical, insist on safeguards, hold up our institutional power and use whatever leverage we have to fight back.
