Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich share excerpts from Monday's Vote Common Good event in Holland, Michigan to highlight the quiet heroes - most of whom are Republicans themselves - running against bullying MAGA extremists in local elections. West Michigan is just a microcosm of a national rise in aggressive, threatening, bullying tactics by the GOP in local elections for positions like school board and county commissioner.

![How to Care About Ukraine in Useful and Healthy Ways]()
July 28, 2022
Today we are joined by Mary Mykhaylova, a Ukrainian living in San Francisco. As a psychotherapist Mary has a unique perspective that can help us understand the suffering of the Ukrainian people due to Russian atrocities, how to avoid Russian propaganda, and the best way to help.
Mary Mykhaylova is a Ukrainian psychotherapist and essayist in San Francisco dedicated to making sure your Ukraine coverage is Ukraine-centered. Rampant Russian propaganda has planted false narratives for years and the West views Russian aggression and Ukraine's prospects through its own subjective lens. The solution: consuming a range of Ukrainian content.

June 23, 2022
Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse sit down with Candidate for Common Good Nan Whaley, the former Mayor of Dayton who is the Democratic nominee for Governor of Ohio.
For the last eight years, Nan had the honor of serving as the mayor of Dayton, Ohio. She faced some of the toughest challenges — a mass shooting, the opioid epidemic, tornadoes, a broken economy, and now, the COVID-19 pandemic. Through it all, Dayton has come out stronger and more resilient thanks to her leadership. Now she's running for Governor.

Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich ask the question, how should our religion/faith/spirituality inform our politics? We take a look at recent video from Marjorie Taylor Greene saying Christina Nationalism is something to be proud of, and another GOP candidate saying, "we are the church and we run the state."
