In this special episode of A Dangerous Conversation, we sit down with Krista, known to the Danger Corps as Dark Sunray, for an honest and deeply personal discussion about what this political moment actually feels like inside a real family.

We talk about raising a six-year-old during election chaos. We talk about autism, Type 1 diabetes, healthcare realities, and how public policy touches every part of daily life. We talk about losing an election you thought you would win. We talk about complacency, community, and the fear that comes with raising kids in uncertain times.

This isn’t cable news noise. It’s real people wrestling with real stakes.
We also explore what activism looks like beyond protests, how online community creates belonging, and why voting remains the most powerful tool we have. From Indivisible organizing to chat moderation to creating political content from your kitchen, this episode is about reclaiming agency.

If you’ve felt isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep going, this conversation is for you.

This inaugural episode of 'A Dangerous Conversation' is not polished or performative. It is about exhaustion, grief, frustration with the party we still believe in, and the emotional cost of continuing to fight when it would be easier to disengage. What you'll see and hear is what it actually sounds like behind-the-scenes when the cameras stop pretending everything is fine.

We open ourselves up like never before.

But we trust you.

Warmly,
JIm & Tiffany Drastic
