Podcast: Interrupting Business As Usual
Published On: Sun Feb 01 2026
Description: It's taken another escalation in state-sanctioned violence for the alarm bells to go off. And now, white liberals are activated again — just like summer 2020. But here's the question: for how long? In this episode, Nikki does what white liberalism won't: gets to the root. This is not a vibe check. It's an admonition to to organize — before the next inevitable tragedy makes its way to your doorstep. What you'll learn: Why liberalism will never be radical and why that's a problem How ICE's recent violence shows us that safety under systems of oppression is a myth Four specific things you can do right now to interrupt white dominance  If you've ever asked, "What can I do?" Nikki is handing you the blueprint.  Spoiler: it's not a cute protest outfit or another safety pin. It's community. It's consistency. It's organizing with purpose, not performing for visibility, likes, or to feel better. Special thanks to Def Sound for providing the theme for Interrupting Business as Usual.⁣⁣⁣⁣ Want More? → TAP HERE to listen to Episode 25, Why We Must Be Radical to Be on the Right Side of History, for a deeper dive on the dangers of moderation and why "neutrality" is just complicity. → Ready to do more than vibe?
