## Resource

This week, we talk with Alexandria Augustine , an organizer who’s been on the ground protesting ICE in Los Angeles and Minnesota, building mutual aid networks, and dealing firsthand with the fallout of state repression. What starts with dark humor and chaos turns into one of the most serious conversations we’ve had yet, covering tear gas exposure, arrests meant to cripple organizing, the way government power chips away at rights in practice, and why more people are being radicalized by what they’re seeing up close. Alexandria also gets into the real work behind community defense, from food drives and medic training to helping people find their place in movements that need more than just outrage. By the end, the conversation expands into something bigger about community, political awakening, and what it means to live through a moment people will study later as history.
