Patrick and Rob interview Delphi Cleveland from the Public Service Alliance, discussing the critical intersection of women’s rights and democratic health. Delphi, a former policy advisor at the National Security Council and State Department, explores how the rollback of women’s rights—particularly through the Dobbs decision – serves as a harbinger for broader democratic erosion. We get into the “chilling effect” discouraging political participation, the terrifying rise of “tradwife” culture on social media, and the normalization of violence against public servants. Delphi shares insights from her current work supporting civil servants facing threats and harassment, and we discuss the challenges of political discourse in increasingly polarized workplaces and communities.
