Democracy Isn’t Dead… Yet (with Mary Trump and Mila Atmos)

On today’s episode, Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein dig into American democracy in disarray. They chat about the Supreme Court news and announce Red Wine and Blue’s new initiative to stand up against book bans across the country: Book Ban Busters! (Book bans? Crumbling democracy? This really IS Groundhog Day!)

They’re joined by Mila Atmos, the producer and host of the podcast Future Hindsight, which aims to spark civic engagement through conversations with citizen changemakers. Mila shares why she started a podcast, what we can all do to protect democracy, and explains the fantastic name “Future Hindsight.”

Then Amanda sits down with Mary Trump, the niece of Donald Trump and author of Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man. They discuss the last time Mary talked to her uncle, why she thinks he got elected at all, and how important it is to push back against right-wing propaganda. They also chat about kittens, news anchors, and Mary’s parrot even makes an appearance, so don’t miss their convo.

Finally, our hosts raise a glass to sports victories, birthdays, and holding on long enough to find the sunshine through heartbreak in this week’s “Toast to Joy.”

Red Wine and Blue is pushing back against book bans with our brand-new initiative Book Ban Busters. You can visit bookbanbusters.com to see a map of book bans across the country and let us know what’s happening in your area.
