    Political Freedom On Trial in North Texas: The Prairieland Case

    Something terribly wrong has been unfolding in the aftermath of a July 4, 2025 solidarity demonstration outside of the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, TX. Sam is joined by Alex and Blue, two supporters of the Prairieland Defendants, some of whom begin trial next week on Feb. 17th. On July 4th, around a dozen people gathered to make a display of noise and fireworks to express solidarity with immigrants and ICE detainees who face the threat of deportation under Trump’s sweeping anti-immigration crackdown. The state’s narrative about what happened that night is dubious and full of inconsistencies. What happened that night was a normal protest, but what has unfolded in the aftermath is a nightmare that seeks to rewrite how this country will treat anyone standing against rising authoritarianism.

    What To Understand About The Epstein Files w/ Sean Morrow

    Journalist Sean Morrow joins the program to discuss the DOJ's latest Epstein files dump, as well as the story writ large. Sean gives his thoughts on Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Israeli intelligence, his infamously sketchy "suicide," and what kinds of opportunities this creates for revolutionaries who want to overthrow the gang of sick pedophiles who run the world and the system that enables them. CORRECTION: It was Ezra Klein who said that Epstein's pedophilic sex trafficking and networking with the elites were two separate spheres of his life. LOL.

    Practicing Politics The Right Way w/ Crimethinc

    Jamie and Sam are joined by a member of the Crimethinc editorial collective to unpack Sam's viral hot take about agent provocateurs. Are there, as Hasan Piker and many others believe, FBI agents and other nefarious actors trying to escalate modern day protests into brick-throwing riots? Or is this a conspiracy theory that serves only counter-insurgent purposes? Our guest helps us separate fact from fiction. ALSO: Sam gives a reportback from his recent trip to Minneapolis, and Jamie gives a brief history of COINTELPRO and COINTELPRO-adjacent ops.

    ICE, Pigs, Murderers: Prelude To A New Civil War?

ICE as pathetic losers trying desperately to assert their fragile masculinity. Some of the other people ICE has killed. The responses from the Democrats and Republicans, the robust response from protesters, and why this is not the time for performative identity politics. Is America headed for a new Civil War, and is civil war necessary for revolution? Plus: Some constructive criticism for Hasan Piker.

    Imperialism, The Highest Stage Of Trumpism

    The PG crew is back together and boy, is there news to discuss. Jamie and Sam unpack the Trump administration's brazen kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela and his wife, Cilia Flores: the news from over the weekend, the political context, new president Delcy Rodríguez, the responses from various quarters, the politics of dancing, and the petty reason Trump didn't install opposition leader María Corina Machado. Is "The Donroe Doctrine" the most postmodern thing ever invented by a dying empire as it frantically thrashes about? How should anti-state partisans orient ourselves towards moments like these? What will become of the radical, bottom-up experiments of Venezuela's communes? And what, if anything, is to be done? Note: this episode was recorded before ICE's murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis Geo Maher's book that Jamie mentioned: Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela SIGN UP NOW at https://patreon.com/partygirls to get all of our bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!

    CULTURAL MARXISM: Scrooged (1988) w/ Jake Flores

    Jamie welcomes the illustrious Jake Flores to the program to discuss Richard Donner's very eighties take on A Christmas Carol, 'Scrooged' (1988). In this modern retelling, Bill Murray stars as Frank Cross, a selfish and greedy TV executive who cares only for his bottom line, until he is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve, who...you know the drill. We discuss the movie's insanely stacked cast (Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, David Johansen of the New York Dolls!), its take on corporate media, and its political message. Is A Christmas Carol revolutionary, or merely reformist? Plus: What our boy Marx thought of Charles Dickens.
