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 Real(ish) History of America (w/ Heather Cox Richardson & Rebecca Nagle)","slug":"the-real-ish-history-of-america-w-heather-cox-richardson-rebecca-nagle","published_at":"2026-07-21T09:55:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119/the-real-ish-history-of-america-w-heather-cox-richardson-rebecca-nagle","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8930546","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/8930546.mp3?modified=1784606353&sid=5166618&source=rss","summary":"America has an infamously imperfect past, but rather than confronting our demons, interpretations of our history have become a political football. This week, Stacey is joined by historian and author Heather Cox Richardson, and award winning journalist and member of the Cherokee nation, Rebecca Nagle. They talk about where America stands 250 years in, why erasing native history is so damaging, and how the way we frame our past shapes our civil discourse today. Learn & Do More: Be Curious: Visit Heather Cox Richardson’s substack, “Letters from an American” for more excellent insight into American history. Also listen to Rebecca’s new podcast, “First America” and pick up a copy of her book, “By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight For Justice on Native Land”. Solve Problems: Consider donating to NDN Collective to support their mission of creating sustainable solutions on indigenous terms through organizing, activism, philanthropy, and more. And visit The Native American Rights Fund , an organization that holds government accountable and fights to protect Native American rights, resources, and lifeways through litigation. Do Good: A third servicemember has now died in the administration’s unjust and unconscionable war in Iran. Consider the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, or TAPS , to find meaningful ways to support military families.","meta_description":"America has an infamously imperfect past, but rather than confronting our demons, interpretations of our history have become a political football.
