It’s been an emotional week.
I just wrapped up the Pivot Live tour, surfing the blue tsunami across the country (plus, Toronto). On Wednesday, we did a show in Minneapolis, and I returned to my personal ground zero for these midterms – the memorials of Alex Pretti and Renée Good.
In March, I visited Minneapolis with my Pivot co-host, Kara Swisher, and hosted an event benefiting the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota in honor of Alex and Renée. To be back in their city the day after these seismic elections, and witness firsthand the changes wrought in their memory, was a moment of comfort for me.
I find certain emotions challenging to access. But this week, I’ve been awash with … hope.
Aftershocks
There’s a lot to unpack coming out of last Tuesday’s political earthquake. You clearly agree – we were struck by the incredible turnout to last week’s series of Raging Moderates livestreams.
By overwhelming demand, Jessica Tarlov and I will be making this a regular thing. Catch Raging Moderates live and unfiltered on Substack (and YouTube) every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. It’s open to everyone, plus we take your questions.
Our next show is tomorrow at 11 a.m. ET – make sure you’re subscribed to get notified the moment we’re live. By the way, we’ll be joined by Bobby Pulido (D-TX), the Representative-elect from Texas’ 15th district, which saw the biggest swing from red to blue in the country.
