“Tech Terrors, Calling Out Fascism in Small Talk, and Progressive Political Strategy” with Ilana Glazer

On this week’s solo episode of It’s Open, Ilana reviews some recent headlines on advancing technologies against the people’s will for all types of surveillance 🤮 She calls for the It’s Open community to kick off neighborly discussions by naming authoritarianism in order to de-normalize it, and to underline the risks around, as well as great promise of, our 2026 midterm elections in November. This is democracy strategy toward a United States truly for the people, by the people. And forreal: it is within reach.
