✨ Show Notes – Daily Liberation Through Our Eyes
🎙️ Episode Title: Fascism, Fractures, and Fear: Seeing the Empire Crumble📡 Podcast: The Family Table – Daily Liberation Through Our Eyes🗣️ Host: Dr. Tanya Alkhaliq
“Collapse isn’t the end of empire; it’s the sound of truth finally being heard.”
This Daily Liberation Through Our Eyes journeys through the chaos of today’s headlines, the government shutdown, GOP fractures, Trump’s humiliation abroad, and the rise of open fascist rhetoric to ask a deeper question: What does survival look like for Black America when power begins to devour itself?
Together we weave historical insight, psychological grounding, and spiritual clarity into a sweeping reflection on fear, control, and the sacred art of communal resilience.
🔥 In this episode, we explore:
* Why Marjorie Taylor Greene’s break from MAGA isn’t repentance but rebranding and what it reveals about white-nationalist survival tactics.
* The truth behind Speaker Mike Johnson’s panic: how protest becomes prophecy and why mass mobilization terrifies those addicted to control.
* Trump’s disastrous trip to Israel as a mirror of the empire’s moral collapse.
* MAGA’s creeping plan to criminalize dissent and how Black organizers have seen this movie before.
* A prophetic addendum naming the growing fascism in America and a call for the Black community to stay out of a military now weaponized against its own citizens.
* A charge to leaders who remain silent while tyranny grows, and a declaration that joy, rest, and solidarity are our most radical tools of resistance.
