This week on Truth to Power, we bring you a community conversation entitled "Notes For Next Time: Surviving Trump and Reviving America." This online event was hosted by the Oberlin Club of Washington, D.C. on April 2nd, 2026 and it featured Oberlin College class of 1965 alumni, Bob Kuttner, co-founder and co-editor of The American Prospect magazine. For Bob and those of his generation, the arc of a lifetime can be described as a period when America made great progress toward social and economic justice, and then watched it get away. Why the great reversal? How did the failure to restore broad prosperity lead to political backlash and the rise of Trump? Moving forward, what lessons might be learned to prevail in winning the arguments and the politics? And how do we make sure there is a next time? Tune in as Bob draws on his five decades at the center of progressive thought and action to share observations and ideas, and reads brief excerpts from his memoir 'Notes for Next Time: Surviving Tyranny, Redeeming America'. He revisits the pivotal moments when different choices could have led to a fairer economy and a stronger democracy, outlines a hopeful path forward, and assess how we may yet survive Trump if we restore decent life prospects for regular people. Robert Kuttner is co-founder and co-editor of The American Prospect magazine and is a Professor in Social Planning and Administration at Brandeis University’s Heller School. He was a longtime columnist for Business Week, the Boston Globe, and the Washington Post syndicate. He was a founder of the Economic Policy Institute and serves on its board and executive committee. Bob has authored thirteen books, and his magazine writing, covering the interplay of economics and politics, has appeared in most major publications. His previous positions have included national staff writer on The Washington Post, chief investigator of the US Senate Banking Committee, executive director of President Carter’s National Commission on Neighborhoods, and economics editor of The New Republic. Bob earned a BA at Oberlin College in Government and holds an MA from the University of California at Berkeley. He holds honorary doctorates from Oberlin and Swarthmore.
