About this listen

In this episode of Ro Comment, we explore themes from Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny and On Freedom, the impact of Trump’s election on democracy, and what true freedom and resistance look like today. Inspired by Rachel Maddow's call for "piracy," we discuss how Unitarian Universalists—and all people of conscience—can respond with courage, compassion, and resilience. Join us as we navigate political turmoil, moral action, and the ongoing fight for love in uncertain times.
