Episode 295 Audio: Camila Lourdes Galarza (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The usual suspects currently burning American democracy to the ground are also leading the torture, kidnapping, and murder of civilians abroad in order to terrorize and exploit foreign countries, reminding us that our struggle for freedom against our government is intimately and inextricably tied to the struggle of people across the world This week, we talk to the courageous independent journalist Camila Lourdes Galarza, whose recent reporting on American strikes conducted on fishing boats in th
Episode 290 Audio: Oliver Larkin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re getting ready for a potential MAJOR win for democratic socialists by talking to candidate Oliver Larkin. He’s running in the Dem primary for FL-25 in a primary that will take place in just a few days, where he’s a bright spot in a larger movement of leftist candidates fearlessly championing Medicare for All.

Read excerpt
For Episode 287 with Kentucky Senate hopeful Charles Booker, we debate the possibility that Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is dead, both in terms of its implications for the future of American politics and in terms of what it reveals about the Republican Party’s true loathing of and lack of respect for the American people, especially working-class voters. The Party wants to brazenly put up a ruse to (unsuccessfully) convince McConnell’s constituents that an elderly man in the hospital, who’s t
