    Let the Body Speak: Sex Work, Education & Self-Determination w/ Nia Ola (Part 2)

    The Dugout sits down with writer, educator, and organizer Nia Òla to unpack the radical politics of sex work, consent, and survival under capitalism. Nia guides listeners through the legal, historical, and emotional terrain of erotic labor — from the criminalization of sex work to the cultural obsession with controlling bodies. Together, we interrogate how consent, autonomy, and state violence intersect, and why collective liberation demands we center those pushed to society’s margins. Raw, reflective, and rich in political clarity, this episode is an urgent listen for anyone invested in abolitionist struggle and freedom dreams. ---------------------------- 2:05 - What is sex work 4:06 - Consent as a principle 11:23 - Path for safer and liberation focused futures 14:43 - On legalization vs decriminalization models of sex work 19:33 - Traumas impact on accessible language and education 22:10 - The bio-essentialist narrative in sex work discourse 26:28 - The moral sex panic and its impacts on sexual education and safety 29:26 - Digital safety and security 30:44 -What happened to Tumblr case study on social media 35:35 - Addressing myth of degeneracy and client behavior & population 39:31 -Media literacy and monitoring children screen time 42:27 - How can folks get to know your work more? ------------- Stay up to date with Nia Substack - thatdeep.substack.com Instagram - @shakingsheets Tiktok @shakingsheets -------------------------------------- Stay connected with The Dugout!

    Curiosity as Resistance: Nia Òla’s Political Imagination (Part 1)

    In this episode of The Dugout, Jordan and Prince sit down with writer, critic, and cultural theorist Nia Òla for a conversation that cuts through the noise of online discourse and dives deep into the heart of radical education, identity, and political awakening. From growing up in the Bronx to becoming a powerful voice on platforms like TikTok and Substack, Nia shares how curiosity shaped their worldview—and why it remains a revolutionary force. This is Part 1 of 2. We explore the complexities and realities of sex work, the emotional labor of politics online, the limits of freedom, and why “going outside and touching grass” is more than just a meme—it's a political call to action. With humor, vulnerability, and brilliant clarity, Nia helps us reimagine what it means to engage, educate, and resist in today’s cultural moment. Whether you're new to these ideas or deep in the work, this is the kind of conversation that stays with you.

  4. When Black Rage Is Criminalized: Rodney Hinton Jr and Revolutionary Justice

    When Black Rage Is Criminalized: Rodney Hinton Jr and Revolutionary Justice

    In this episode, we delve into the tragic case of Ryan Hinton, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Cincinnati who was fatally shot by police on May 1, 2025, during a foot chase. Police allege that Ryan was armed and posed a threat; however, body camera footage leaves critical questions unanswered, prompting his family to initiate an independent investigation.  The following day, his father, Rodney Hinton Jr., was charged with aggravated murder after allegedly striking and killing a Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy with his vehicle. This incident occurred shortly after Rodney viewed the bodycam footage of his son’s death, leading to widespread discussions about the psychological toll of police violence on Black families.  Through an abolitionist perspective, we examine how this case underscores the criminalization of Black masculinity and the systemic issues that perpetuate cycles of trauma and violence. As we launch Season 2, this episode sets the stage for deeper conversations about state violence, resistance, and the urgent need for transformative justice. To learn more about the case...

  5. Fascism, Failure, and the Vanguard Party: Thoughts on BLOOD IN MY EYE by George Jackson | Part 2

    Fascism, Failure, and the Vanguard Party: Thoughts on BLOOD IN MY EYE by George Jackson | Part 2

    In this episode ofThe Dugout, we continue our deep dive into George Jackson's seminal text,Blood in My Eye. Part 2 focuses on Jackson's analysis of fascism as a structure deeply embedded in American society, his vision for the role of the vanguard party in revolutionary struggle, and his incisive critiques of political failure within liberation movements. Who Was George Jackson? George Jackson (1941–1971) was a revolutionary thinker, writer, and member of the Black Panther Party who became a central figure in the movement for prison abolition. Arrested at 18 for stealing $70 from a gas station, Jackson was sentenced to one year to life, a punishment emblematic of the carceral system's violence against Black communities. While incarcerated, he transformed himself into a powerful theorist, writingSoledad Brother andBlood in My Eye, works that remain foundational to Black radical thought. Jackson’s revolutionary praxis called for the overthrow of capitalism and the prison system, which he identified as tools of racialized oppression. On August 21, 1971, he was assassinated by prison guards in San Quentin. His life and work continue to inspire abolitionist and anti-imperialist movements worldwide.
