This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum process a storm of historical proportions, Hurricane Milton. The storm recalls the trauma of Hurricane Katrina and the misinformation that targeted the Black community during that disaster which led to so many unnecessary deaths. Now we’re seeing more misinformation than ever–what lessons do we draw from Katrina and how do we avoid the worst with Milton?

And Tiffany shares a story about getting put into a confrontational interview in front of high school students, at an event where she found herself surrounded by unfriendly white conservatives. How do we act when we find ourselves in what feels like an alternate universe (with alternate facts)?
