Rant in Review
On this week’s rant, Melissa Corrigan, she/her and Shane Yirak, dig into the collapsing job market and the “ghost crowd” of uncounted unemployed Americans, the regime’s dangerous climate blindness, the consolidation of political and financial power by a small ultra-wealthy faction, and the failures of mainstream pro-democracy media to confront any of it. The conversation was raw, urgent, at times bleak—but ultimately rallied around empowerment: narrative-building, community amplification, and direct action.
So what are we ranting about today?
