We can see what needs fixing, yet more and more, it feels like the problems are too big and the bad guys are winning. But the truth is, they’re not. They’re just hoping we stop fighting. Welcome to Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams, a new podcast from Crooked Media and Democratic changemaker Stacey Abrams. Stacey knows better than anyone that societal shifts happen when a group of ordinary people decide that a problem is solvable, and are willing to pitch in and work towards the solution. Each week, Stacey will break down the biggest issues we face into digestible, actionable items, introduce us to the warriors for good already working towards solutions, strategize, and share tangible ways to get involved. Because we can't fix everything, everywhere, all at once; but we can each do something, somewhere, soon. You can watch on Youtube or listen to new episodes every Tuesday.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T22:17:29.300733+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119"},"episode":{"title":"The Killing of Alex Pretti and ICE’s Terror in Minnesota","slug":"the-killing-of-alex-pretti-and-ice-s-terror-in-minnesota","published_at":"2026-01-27T08:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119/the-killing-of-alex-pretti-and-ice-s-terror-in-minnesota","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8846937","audio_url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/arttrk.com/p/CRMDA/mgln.ai/e/284/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8846937.mp3?modified=1769539520&sid=5166618&source=rss","summary":"The unjust murder of Alex Pretti is the latest ICE killing in the city of Minneapolis, and he joins a growing body count for DHS. Protestors continue to flood the streets across Minnesota as the Trump administration and Republicans mislead the public as they continue to perpetuate state violence. This week, Stacey is joined by Hysteria’s Erin Ryan to discuss the aftermath of Pretti’s death, the escalation of federal actions in Minnesota, the connection to other assaults on Americans and what Democrats need to do in response. Then, Stacey and Erin turn to the March for Life rally that took place last weekend and examine how the Trump administration’s handling of abortion policy is putting it at odds with members of its own anti-abortion base. Learn & Do More: Be Curious : If you enjoyed my conversation with Erin Ryan, go check out Hysteria and her YouTube series This Fucking Guy. Solve Problems : Call your senator and demand that they block increased funding to the Department of Homeland Security. Many of our immigrant friends and neighbors are being forced to stay indoors right now—volunteer to pick up groceries or other supplies so they can remain in place as the siege continues. Do Good : The winter storm moving across the country is impacting communities that aren’t equipped to manage freezing weather.
