I’ve always loved movies—not just for the storytelling, but for the way they’ve shaped how I see the world. In this video, I break down a few films that radicalized me and pushed me to think differently about history, power, and resistance: Malcolm X, The East, Selma, and The Black Power Mixtape.

It’s been a year since Trump’s return to the White House. We look at the chaos of his second term—from attacks on birthright citizenship to sweeping emergency powers and foreign policy shocks. We break down the fallout at home: labor pushback, a fractured left, and the rise of fascist movements. Most of all, we ask what resilience, solidarity, and new forms of anti-fascist organizing look like in this moment.
