Thank you to our dear friend, Abena Imhotep, CEO, author, speaker, educator, for joining us in a wide-ranging conversation on why the media coverage of the anti-Trump/Musk protests suck, Trump’s tariffs, the loss of insects, and Spencer’s top five David Foster Wallace quotes, and more.
Abena is an Iowa legend who will not obey in advance to Trump’s fascism and shows us how to empower others through her leadership.
Thank you also, subscribers of Deep Midwest and the Iowa Revolution. If you have any suggestions for our programming, please email Spencer at spencerdirks@gmail.com. He does all of the work, and I just show up.
For show notes, subscribe to the Iowa Revolution. Thanks!

My content will always be free, as for over 60 years the words of Simon and Garfunkle in their 1964 song, “The Sound of Silence” have influenced me, “the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls,” and I’m not going to paywall them out should they be interested in my writing. My favorite version is by “Disturbed.”
