/ mrmikedelarocha , writer and DJ Mamoudou N’diaye / mamoudouaboutnothing , Minnesota State Senator Mary Kunesh / mkmkunesh , and comedian Jackie Keliiaa / jackiecomedy to examine how authoritarian movements thrive when people feel separated, powerless, and alone, and why rebuilding human connection may be one of the most powerful acts of resistance available to us.
Through discussion, humor, personal stories, and in-depth cultural analysis, we'll unpack the crisis of social fragmentation and explore how empathy, community, and togetherness can push back against division. This is a conversation about politics, culture, media, belonging, and what it means to truly reconnect with each other in an increasingly lonely world.
