We Can't Have Another 2025: The Check-In with Danielle Moodie and Jared Yates Sexton

This year showed us what we don't want. It's time to decide what it is that we do want.

All right. We made it to the end of 2025 somehow. I feel different. Broken in some ways, stronger in others. I hope you’re all right wherever you are. Today we have a new episode of The Check-In. Danielle Moodie and I discuss what a wretched year this has been and how it sets up to ask questions about who we actually are and what it is that we want. I’ve got an article coming out tomorrow that gives a preview of what 2026 will look like politically, and we get into that a little bit, especially the need to prepare for ourselves for what it might feel like as our grief turns to rage.

Oh, and if 2025 wasn’t bad enough, there’s a technical glitch at the end. We finished up in a video that Danielle might post here soon?

I hope it’s a good new year for all of you and thank you for all the kindness and support.
