  • Power. Different Panic.

    🎙️ Data & Dissonance — Wednesday, January 21, 2026Same Power. Different Panic.

    When President Trump steps onto the global stage at Davos, the reaction is immediate — panic, outrage, and endless warnings about “norms” and “democracy.” But are we actually witnessing something unprecedented… or just selective memory at work?

    In tonight’s episode of Data & Dissonance, Artie and the panel break down the Davos meltdown, the media’s coordinated panic, and why executive power suddenly becomes “dangerous” only when the wrong person uses it. From global elites to domestic narrative enforcement, we examine how outrage is manufactured, history is edited, and comparison is treated as a threat.

    This episode isn’t about defending personalities — it’s about defending memory, context, and consistency in a political climate built on fear and short attention spans.

    • Trump at Davos and elite panic
    • Executive power: precedent vs. propaganda
    • Media narrative enforcement and selective outrage
    • Why comparison is the one thing institutions fear most

    Sanctuary or Stage?

    Data & Dissonance | Tuesday 1/20/26

    What happens when activism crosses a line?

    In tonight’s episode of Data & Dissonance, the panel breaks down a confrontation that spilled into a Minneapolis church during an active service — and the quiet media response that followed. When sacred spaces become political stages, and disruption gets rebranded as courage, are any standards still applied evenly?

    Artie is joined by Brian, Rachel, Daniel, and Never-Trumper Skylar to examine where protest ends and pressure begins, why intent doesn’t erase impact, and what selective silence from the media signals to the public. This isn’t a debate about immigration policy — it’s a conversation about boundaries, credibility, and what happens when principles become conditional.

  • Same policy. Same enforcement. Different villain.
    Jan 19 2026

    In Monday’s episode of Data & Dissonance, we dismantle one of the most dishonest narratives in modern politics: the claim that immigration enforcement suddenly became “fascism” in 2026.

    Using widely circulated images — including Barack Obama publicly honoring Tom Homan for immigration enforcement — we walk through a fact most people were never meant to confront. Deportations, family separations, detention facilities, and interior arrests all existed long before Donald Trump took office. Under Obama, those same actions were praised as “firm but compassionate.” Under Trump, they were rebranded as Nazism.

    So what actually changed?

    Not the law.
    Not the agency.
    Not the enforcement.

    Only the narrative.

    Why were ICE agents once treated as public servants — but later compared to Gestapo?
    Why was Obama framed as a moral authority for enforcing immigration law — while Trump was labeled Hitler for enforcing the same laws?
    And why are Americans told to forget documented history the moment it becomes politically inconvenient?

    This episode isn’t about defending Trump. It’s about exposing selective outrage, media framing, and the hypocrisy that turns identical policies into moral absolutes based solely on who enforces them.

    History didn’t start in 2026 — and pretending it did is how truth gets erased.
