Donald Trump Won Again... Why America Is the Problem

2024/11/07

In this quick episode of The Dugout, I’m sharing my immediate reaction to Donald Trump’s presidential win and what I think it means for all of us. This result brings up so many memories from his last term, and I can’t help but feel anxious about what’s to come – from harsher immigration policies to deeper divisions in the country. I talk about why I think we need to rethink our role in the ‘American project’ and why history keeps repeating itself in this country.Drawing from movements around the

2024/10/28

In this episode, I dive deep into the radical choice of rejecting U.S. presidential elections and examine why voting might not be the answer for achieving true liberation, especially for Black and Indigenous communities. For generations, we’ve been told that the ballot box is the path to progress. But history shows us something different: from slavery to Jim Crow to mass incarceration, the U.S. electoral system has consistently failed to deliver justice or freedom for the oppressed.Drawing on the

The 2024 election season has been a grim reminder of the failings of the U.S. political system. In this mega-compilation, we dive into the ways in which the election cycle exposed the deep-seated issues of American fascism, the limitations of the two-party system, and the ongoing crisis in Palestine. We unpack the hollow rhetoric, state violence, and corporate interests that dominate U.S. politics, revealing how they perpetuate injustice both at home and abroad.

The Real Threat Isn’t Project 2025: It’s Our Silence

2024/09/30

ABOUT THE EPISODEIn this episode, we explore why the real threat isn’t just Project 2025, but our collective failure to resist U.S. imperialism and state violence. While Project 2025 endangers immigration, reproductive rights, and public education, it’s a symptom of America’s deeper monopoly on power. We break down how media illiteracy, political memes, and celebrity politicians pacify us, and how both parties scapegoat immigrants. The focus shouldn’t just be opposing one project—it’s about

In this episode, I explore the dangers of memeifying politics, focusing on Trump's xenophobic comments about Haitian immigrants during the 2024 presidential debate in Springfield, Ohio. As a child of West Indian immigrants and an Ohioan, this issue hits close to home. While memes might seem like harmless fun, turning serious issues like xenophobia into jokes helps normalize hate and even strengthens fascism.Meme culture pacifies us, making it easier to laugh than resist.

In this episode of The Dugout Podcast, I’m diving deep into some heavy truths about the state and the reality of modern fascism. After years of organizing and watching the political landscape shift, it’s become clear to me that the U.S. government—whether under Democrats or Republicans—has consistently used repression, violence, and propaganda to maintain control.

In this episode, we break down why choosing Kamala Harris as the "lesser evil" isn’t a real solution. We look at her political record and policies, and why settling for less still keeps us stuck in the same old systems. This discussion is crucial for those questioning the effectiveness of traditional voting and wanting to understand why some abolitionists and anarchists are critical of Harris’s candidacy.
