Matt Rothschild fills in as guest host for the day. Angela Lang, executive director of BLOC- Black Leaders Organizing for Community- joins as cohost for the hour. We discuss efforts towards countering the hate, the divisiveness, and the absolute nonsense of the second Trump administration. In this hour, we address the world's richest person, unelected and unqualified, dominating the first Cabinet meeting and AI generated videos about ethnically cleansing Gaza. So what can we do about it? How can we bring some sense to this all as a form of countering the destruction of our democracy? Well, we can protest. As several hundred did yesterday outside Senator Ron Johnson's Madison office to voice their concerns over Medicaid cuts forecast in the next national budget.

Another powerful way of countering the divisiveness is to find what brings us together. Like the first signs of spring in the calls of a sandhill crane or buds on a tree. Or in poetry. As he often does, Matt chose a powerful poem to share to end the show. Listen to the full session of Clint Smith reading his poetry or choose only the poem we shared here.
