    Antifa on Trial: The Making Of Imaginary Terrorists In Texas

    In the wake of the Prairieland verdict, Sam and Jamie speak with Alex and Blue, two comrades engaged in support work for the defendants. How did this ridiculous show trial, in which evidence included possession of a feminist essay on the movies of Ari Aster (yes, you read that right) result in convictions for the defendants on almost all counts? The invention of "Antifa" as a domestic terrorist group. The various ways the Trump administration put its thumb on the scale for the prosecution and the implications for dissent in the Trump 2.0 era. How this case dovetails with Trump's persecution of trans people. Plus, we read the names of the people who snitched.

    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. Check out Sean's work at More Perfect Union: https://perfectunion.us/author/smorrow/ Folks in the LA area check out Jamie's IRL comedy show w/ Jake Flores, Tony Boswell, Avery Moore, Fellatia G, and other special guests!
