## Resource

Ravi is joined by Jeremiah, host of the New Liberal podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with the seemingly endless things people blame on capitalism. Then they take on Nikole Hannah-Jones’s account of choosing a school that reflected her beliefs about integration—and realizing her daughter wasn’t getting the education that was best for her. They also discuss the White House’s restrictions on press access, the Trump administration’s ties to right-wing influencers, and the Ed Sheeran–Macklemore controversy: what happens when trying to silence a message only makes it louder? _____ Show notes - https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Get Ravi’s new book, The Invisible List: https://readinvisiblelist.com/⁠ _____ Find Lost Debate ◾Subscribe to our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@LostDebate ◾Follow us - @thebranchmedia Find Ravi Gupta ◾Read Ravi’s Substack - https://realravigupta.substack.com  ◾Follow Ravi- https://www.instagram.com/ravimgupta/
