War Abroad, Division at Home—Can Anyone Be Reached Before the End Times? (w/ Dr. Hilary Agro)

This week felt like a turning point.

While most headlines focus on rising tensions with Iran and the possibility of wider conflict, a series of U.S. military operations—reportedly including “Operation Epic Fury” and “Operation Total Extermination”—are expanding across multiple regions with barely any public scrutiny.

From strikes in the Caribbean to escalating actions near the Colombia–Ecuador border, the scope of what’s happening right now is bigger than most people realize.At the same time, we’re watching the national security state expand at home—ICE presence in airports, increasing surveillance, and political rhetoric that feels more extreme by the day. And somehow, we’re told all of this is for our benefit.

Then we’re joined by Dr. Hilary Agro—anthropologist, organizer, and abolitionist educator—to tackle a question that feels more urgent than ever:Can people with harmful or contradictory political beliefs actually change?We talk about:- Why organizing the working class means engaging with people you disagree with- The psychology of political identity and belief formation- Why some people are open to change—and others aren’t- The challenges of bridging divides in an era of polarization- What it actually takes to build movements rooted in collective care and liberationIf we’re serious about building a better world, we have to figure out how to reach people—not just write them off.
