In this episode of Resistance Live, host Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin opens with breaking news about Admiral Alvin Halsey’s resignation from the U.S. Navy’s Southern Command amid growing scrutiny over a series of illegal boat bombings in the Caribbean. Elizabeth explains the legal and ethical stakes surrounding military compliance with unlawful orders, connecting the situation to broader patterns of forced resignations of Black officials and potential future accountability trials. She also updates viewers on a series of unfolding political crises: the disbanding of the New York Young Republicans after a neo-Nazi text scandal, Speaker Mike Johnson’s ongoing refusal to swear in Representative-elect Alva, and escalating police violence against peaceful protesters at Broadview, Illinois—tying each to the broader erosion of democratic norms and state complicity in authoritarian behavior.

The broadcast then turns to national organizing and civic action. Elizabeth highlights a new ProPublica exposé on Russ Vought’s extremist role in dismantling U.S. agencies and the lingering shadow of Project 2025, urging viewers to stay informed and vigilant. She closes by rallying listeners to attend the nationwide No Kings protests—encouraging joyful, creative, and secure participation while stressing the importance of digital safety and anonymity in the face of state surveillance. The episode concludes with calls to action for Power Lab (her seven-week training for emerging organizers), the free REI Activation Series, and the Resistance Live Patreon community, reinforcing her signature message: informed, collective, values-driven resistance is still possible—and urgently needed.
