Why should we cancel student debt? So many reasons! Just do it! How can we re-imagine the future of work and the balance of practicality and joyfulness? Child labor: good or bad? Our answer might surprise you! And we find a bit of good news from a

We discuss the uprisings in Poland in response to new abortion restrictions, a fabulous new sector of gig work in which you can help evict your fellow working-class citizens, and the strategic ways reactionaries frame democrats as left-wing radicals. Of course, you know we gotta throw a little election garbage in there, but hey, it’s almost over and then everything will go back to normal! Right

2020/10/26

Happy episode 69! A hearty congratulations to the people of Bolivia and the success of MAS! Mitch McConnel is rotting before our eyes and Zombie Giuliani is increasingly relevant. The NYPD is, as always, showing their asses, stealing PPE and shouting Trump 2020 at passers by. Kanye goes on Joe Rogan with a spectacular swing and miss. Never cross a union man, or you’ll end up haunted by a vengeful communist ghost. And for a spot of good news, the British government is repatriating thousands of

We also talk about the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and its implications for our future.
