    Love Flows to Suffering: Ethan on Palestine, Iowa City, and the Summer of Ludd

    Ethan returns to Possibility Now! after a season that broke his heart open. In early 2026 he spent about a month in the West Bank with the International Solidarity Movement, living with Palestinian families facing daily settler attacks. After five months of hard integration, he traveled to Iowa City to help build an Indigenous-and queer-led liberation zone with Great Plains Action Society. Then he stumbled into the Summer of Ludd, a week-long, tech-free gift economy festival in New York City's parks that drew thousands. Ethan and Tucker talk about what these three experiences taught him. They cover the scale of medicine this moment asks of us, why following love is terrifying, and why we need support structures that can hold each other's risks. They also explore holding grief and praise in equal measure, "worlding" before "selfing," and why the revolution can look like a huge party. Ethan also shares what's emerging next, including Shrink Ray, a playful, somatically trained collective liberation team, and a closing reflection from Indigenous elders at Healing Turtle Island. Mentioned in this episode: International Solidarity Movement, Great Plains Action Society, Summer of Ludd, The Luddite Club, the Lamp Club, Bread and Puppet Theater, Fierce Vulnerability Network (Kazu Haga), Healing Turtle Island, Dominic Barter, and the Possibility Alliance. Ethan can be reached at (207)-338-5719. The Possibility Alliance mailing address is: 85 Edgecomb Road, Belfast, ME 04915 Music by Gavin Leeper.
