Amy Siskind: The Weekly List

The day Trump was elected, Amy Siskind began reading articles by experts in authoritarianism.  The common theme:  things will change subtly, and if you write them down you'll have reminders amidst the chaos.  She’s been doing just that, publishing a weekly list of all the crazy stuff being normalized in the Trump era.

That’s just in her free time.  During the day, Amy leads The New Agenda, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls.  Chris talks with Amy about her idea for the weekly list, the strange psychology of normalization, and exactly how far down that path toward authoritarianism the United States finds itself.
