  • From What's the Plan?: How Trump Is Using Fear to Win

    From What's the Plan?: How Trump Is Using Fear to Win
    Oct 12 2026
    We're sharing a special episode from What's the Plan?, a new podcast from Lemonada Media and Indivisible, hosted by Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin! With the No Kings event coming up on October 17, we wanted to bring this timely conversation directly to your feed. Leah and Ezra break down what's happening in politics right now, what it means for the weeks ahead, and why this moment matters. The Trump regime is trying to fearmonger its way to an electoral win. Our challenge is to take the threat seriously and act with confidence, without handing the regime power it doesn’t have or feeding the cynicism that demotivates our side. In this episode, Leah and Ezra talk about how the regime is ramping up its fear tactics, why that’s actually a sign of weakness, and what our strongest response looks like: No Kings, early voting, election defense, and community mobilization. We’re a little more than a week out from No Kings on October 17, the biggest effort against election sabotage in American history. We’ve all got work to do, and we’re gonna talk about how we all have a role in doing it! To learn more and get involved with Indivisible, visit indivisible.org/wtp Learn more about your ad choices.
