Edwin Eisendrath is joined by Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible.  The discussion centered on how the pro-democracy movement can turn election gains into lasting political and institutional change. 

Here are a few highlights from the conversation:
- Levin credited millions of local organizers with building a large, distributed movement; Indivisible grew fourfold after Trump’s re-election.
- Levin argued that in-person community organizing, rather than inevitability, drove the election outcome, and should continue.
- Levin and Eisendrath urged Democrats to deliver on affordability and accountability, pursue oversight, and consider ending the Senate filibuster so legislation can receive debate and votes.
- They discussed the need to address concentrated judicial power and examine ties between the Trump administration and Silicon Valley interests.
- Levin urged the incoming new Congress to use its authority to investigate and reveal the ties between the Trump regime and Silicon Valley billionaires undermining democratic processes, including Meta's shutdown of the No Kings coalition's Instagram account.
