Surviving Trump. Saving America ·

2026/04/02

Send us Fan Mail In Episode 15 of Surviving Trump, we examine how ICE was strengthened, accelerated, and reoriented during Trump’s second term. This episode is not about one raid. It’s about how enforcement expanded — through political rhetoric, executive authority, internal policy directives, institutional loyalty, and rapid hiring. When those forces align, operations intensify. Arrests increase. Detention grows. Procedural safeguards narrow. Episode 15 breaks down how that alignment takes s...

The Endgame: One Man in Charge of Our Elections

Surviving Trump. Saving America ·

2026/03/19

Send us Fan Mail In Episode 13, Bella Goode examines a dangerous shift in how elections are being talked about—and increasingly, how they are being structured. Donald Trump is no longer just disputing election outcomes after the fact. He is openly calling for Republicans to “take over the voting” and “nationalize” elections in places he claims can’t be trusted. Those claims are tied directly to familiar narratives about immigrant voters, big cities, and Democratic-run states being inherently ...

Surviving Trump. Saving America ·

2026/03/12

Send a text For decades, the Voting Rights Act was the country’s strongest safeguard against racial discrimination in elections. It didn’t just promise the right to vote—it enforced it. In Episode 12, Bella Goode explains how that safeguard has been systematically weakened over the past decade. Not through a single repeal, but through Supreme Court decisions, shifts in enforcement, and administrative strategy that leave the law standing on paper while stripping away its power in practice. Thi...

Send a text In Episode 11 of Surviving Trump, Bella Goode examines how election interference is moving beyond state laws and into the federal government itself. This episode looks at how voter data demands, law-enforcement pressure, and direct involvement by federal agencies are being used to shape who feels safe enough to register and vote. From blocked citizenship requirements to ballot seizures, voter-roll demands, and pressure on election officials, the focus is no longer just on rules—it...

Send us a text In Episode 4 of Season 2 of Surviving Trump, host Bella Goode traces a straight line through American history to show that white supremacy did not reappear under Donald Trump—it adapted. From the first slave codes in colonial Virginia to Jim Crow, redlining, “law and order,” and today’s “election integrity” and “replacement” politics, the same hierarchy has been rebuilt again and again. The language changes. The goal does not. Each time democracy expands, new terms and new stra...
