Yesterday, I joined Eliza Orlins, who is a career public defender, based out of Manhattan for the last 15 years.
Eliza is also an amazing content creator, who I discovered a couple years ago, while she was making videos advising people about what to do when you encounter the police.
For our conversation yesterday we covered:
Our feelings on Democratic leadership in Congress
The upcoming Republican spending cuts (gutting of medicaid) bill
Trump’s assault on judges
The best ways to maintain hope in this political cycle
Where do we go from here
If you enjoyed our conversation & would like to see more from Eliza Orlins, here are some places to check out her work ⬇️
