In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Kavita Patel to discuss Resistance Reader, an evolving online document filled with resources for informed activism. When I first shared it with Kavita, the list had about 25 links — a week later, it had doubled. This rapid growth reflects how much we’re learning and adapting in this moment.
Our conversation dives into media literacy — the ability to assess information critically — and why it’s crucial now more than ever. We explore questions like:
How can we decide if a resource like Resistance Reader is credible?
What’s the connection between media literacy and being open to new ideas?
How can we challenge our own biases and resist feel-good headlines that may be misleading?
This week’s actions:
✅ Fact-check headlines that confirm your biases.
✅ Prioritize neutral, reliable news sources.
✅ Engage with others in good faith — and know when to disengage.
