  • A must-listen for the resistance!

    This podcast is consistently thoughtful, well-researched, and grounded in conversations you wonโ€™t hear on mainstream outlets. The hosts bring together organizers, writers, historians, and everyday people to break down whatโ€™s happening in the world and why it matters. I always come away with new insights and a deeper sense of connection to movements for justice.

    Highly recommend if youโ€™re looking for sharp political analysis without the corporate media spin!

  • Fraud of Recycling Episode

    The episode on the fraud of recycling is excellent. So much deliberate deception from the fossil fuel and plastic industries that is important to know about and that is so negatively impacting our bodies and our planet.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Feds Deny Ballistics Expert Access to Prairieland Defendant Who Got a 100 Years w/ Adam Federman (G&R 535)
Q: Was this information about the judge's handling of the self-defense argument known before the trial, and what impact did it have on the proceedings?
Yes, there were indications that the judge limited the defense's ability to present a self-defense argument, which significantly shaped how the defense could frame the events and influenced the trajectory of the trial and subsequent appeals.
Feds Deny Ballistics Expert Access to Prairieland Defendant Who Got a 100 Years w/ Adam Federman (G&R 535)
Q: One question I have, because in your piece you actually talk about this ballistics expert who seemed to have a reputable background, but was denied access to Song while he was in federal detention. What happened there?
The ballistics expert, Daryl Parker, was not granted permission to meet with the defendant in the FMC Fort Worth facility, which prevented him from gathering firsthand context and interviewing the client, a step seen as crucial to constructing a credible analysis and potential testimony. This denial reportedly hindered the defense's ability to scrutinize the evidence and present ballistic findings during trial preparation.
"Fight and Win": Author John Hanson on the 1934 Teamsters Strike in Minneapolis (G&R 532)
Q: How did the union evolve from a small group to thousands of members in 1934?
It grew through a well-organized strike committee, effective communication across picket lines, and broad-based recruitment from coal yards to inside workers, culminating in mass participation and a broad coalition that included women's auxiliary groups.
"Menace of Our Time": Aaron Leonard on the FBI's Long War on American Communism (G&R 533)
Q: Why did you choose to focus on the CPUSA as the through-line of COINTELPRO-era repression?
Because the CPUSA served as a long-running focal point for state repression that reveals how legal tools, informants, and political fear were used to suppress organizing, even beyond high-profile cases like the Black Panthers, offering a broader lens on civil liberties and political rights.
How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza w/ Adam Johnson (G&R 523)
Q: Can you go into a little bit about the complicity in the destruction of Gaza that happens in that period following October 7th through the Biden administration?
He argues the period saw a strategic, long-form propaganda effort that framed Israel's actions as defensive, used selective context, and relied on a liberal media ecosystem to sanitize violence, suppress dissent, and shift blame onto Hamas and other factors, thereby maintaining political support.
