As the midterm campaigns move into high gear, one thing is already clear: the culture wars are back. This week, we explore why so much political rhetoric focuses on topics designed to provoke outrage, fear, or endless de
This week’s episode is a shorter one for Memorial Day weekend. We start with a reflection on Memorial Day itself — not just the sales and barbecues many of us grew up with, but the original purpose of honoring those who
We’re coping with a strange balancing act right now. On one hand, the news cycle continues to deliver a steady stream of anxiety, frustration, and outrage. On the other hand, life keeps happening. Summer arrives. Festiva
Another week, another reminder that democracy is not a “set it and forget it” system. This week on the podcast, we talk about the escalating redistricting battles happening across the country, the continued weakening of
Aaron was out of town for most of the past week so we didn’t record a new episode. So, this is a reprise our most downloaded episode; it is from June 2025 called “Be A Helper; Find the Good”. We hope you enjoy it. We wil
This week’s episode is a quick one. We touch on two things that are very much on our minds right now: the recent California gubernatorial debate and the upcoming May Day actions. On the debate front, our big takeaway is…
It’s been one of those weeks where the headlines feel less like isolated incidents and more like a pattern you can’t ignore. In this episode, we sit with that discomfort—talking through the latest examples of powerful me
This week, we’re circling back to something we talked about in early March: the California governor’s race — and specifically, the very unique (and slightly chaotic) jungle primary system we use here. A lot has changed s
This week’s episode is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s been a few weeks since we last recorded, and a lot has happened—some frustrating, some deeply concerning, and some… actually encouraging. And honestly? That mix feels lik
Happy week after No Kings Day #3! Travel, family visits, protests, and holiday prep held our focus this week- plus Lisa is fighting a rough cold. So, we’re bringing back a previous episode in which we discuss framing and
We recorded this as a kind of pep talk for this coming Saturday’s No Kings Day (on March 28). It’s your reminder that showing up always matters. Momentum is building. Not just from one event to the next, but from everyth
In this week’s episode of A Couple Thinks, we talk about something that’s been surprisingly energizing for us lately: hyperlocal organizing. Not giant movements.Not national organizations. Just neighbors — getting togeth
The escalation of the U.S.–Israel war against Iran has made for a heavy and chaotic news cycle. Between breaking updates, speculation, and viral social media posts, it can be hard to know what’s real—and even harder to k
Before we dove into California politics this week, we acknowledged something much bigger: the beginning of the U.S.–Israel war against the Iranian regime. It’s possible to hold more than one truth at the same time. You c
Some weeks feel like one big headline. This one felt like ten. In this episode of A Couple Thinks, we unpack a week that revealed multiple fissures inside the MAGA coalition. The Supreme Court delivered a 6–3 ruling limi
This week we’re talking about elections and voting rights because a lot is swirling right now. We focused mainly on the proposed SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act), which would require proof of citizensh
This week on A Couple Thinks, we found ourselves talking about something that feels both personal and civic: the unraveling of one of America’s most important newspapers. Lisa was in her last two years of high school in
This week on A Couple Thinks, we did something both sobering and clarifying: we went through our Constitution’s amendments. And then we asked a simple but unsettling question: Which of these constitutional protections ar
This week’s episode is different. Usually, we come to the microphone with an outline and some scripting to help us make sense of the moment we’re living in. But on Saturday, January 24th, that didn’t feel possible or hon
This week on A Couple Thinks, we spent some time sitting with a question that’s been hovering in the background for a while now: what is going to happen between now and the post-Trump era? Our conversation was sparked by
