    Borrowing Leftists' Clothes

    We’re in some real end times shit, man. In this week's episode, Sam steers the ship by himself in his first solo news episode. He analyzes the accelerating timeline of state repression and the evolving terrain of grassroots resistance. First, we look at the sudden shutdown of Noblogs and the Autistici/Inventati collective following a swift U.S. terrorism designation that dismantled 25 years of digital movement infrastructure in just 11 days. Then, we travel to the San Rafael Valley border blockade, where the Tierra Libre autonomous commune has held the line for six weeks against rapid wall construction enabled by the sweeping legal waivers and limitless monetary backing by the Trump admin. Finally, we break down the tactical evolution of a massive far-right black bloc in England and examine the bleak reality of global climate diplomacy after a new UN report officially conceded the death of the 1.5°C warming target.

    Is Healthcare Good? Sound Off in the Comments

    As Sam tries to get back in the swing of things as a podcaster again, the Party Girls team explores some of their favorite topics. Luigi Mangione acted alone, what does that say about our society? Is Medicare for All worth fighting for? As some liberals like to insist, does he actually have anything in common with the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin? Why do leftists project their politics onto the pointedly apolitical Dolly Parton (Rest in Power?) And finally, no PG episode would be complete without Sam rambling about extreme weather and the American Southwest.

    Woke Is Dead, Long Live Woke w/ Sophie Weiner

    Friend of the pod and veteran of the posting wars Sophie Weiner joins us to discuss the latest round of wokeness discourse touched off by AOC in her recent interview with ABC in which, in grand ableist fashion, she declared Woke 1 to have been "crazy." Mass protests against racist police violence, silly tweets, and other things people stupidly conflate when they talk about Woke 1. What is actually good about being woke, and what should be left in the past? The need to defend police and prison abolition as core tenets of communist thought. Plus, Jamie's thoughts on why revolutionaries and DSA should both stay in their lanes.
