Then we turn to the current events of today that have us feeling like we’re in the Twilight Zone:• The Job Corps shutdown and what’s next• The Gaza flotilla that never made it• The LA immigration protests and how the people are pushing back And finally, we hold space for a listener letter asking: how do you stay grounded when everything feels like it’s unraveling?
