    47 - When Did Spaniards Become White? ft. Amanda Moore

    Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup) returns to discuss her visit to our hometown following Nick Fuentes and his AFPAC tour's stop in Detroit (the A stands for A*****e or something). How are the groypers integrating into TPUSA and the GOP, and why are they letting these no-good Mediterranean bums lead it? Amanda explains why the far right doesn't even really f*****g care (and somehow even apparently encourages) Spaniards to be white now in the face of the Demoncrats' alleged Satanic multiculturalism as well as a host of other topics. Despite that, most of the conversation revolves around our experiences together outside America's Buttfest (or whatever the TPUSA Detroit conference was called this summer as well as the future potential of several stripes of the freak-right going forward Enjoy.

    46 - Back to the Shore ft. Harvey Schwartz

    In this episode Jim speaks with labor historian Harvey Schwartz, author of Labor under Siege: Big Bob McEllrath and the ILWU's Fight for Organized Labor in an Anti-Union Era. Labor Under Siege is is an oral history prepared with Ronald Magden that chronicles how a mature American workers’ organization, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), survived serious challenges in recent decades from employers, government agencies, and even other unions. It won an Independent Publisher Book Awards (aka IPPY) gold medal, a Nautilus Book Awards silver prize, a National Indie Excellence Awards winner designation, and was an Independent Publishers of New England Book Awards finalist. A prior volume, Building the Golden Gate Bridge: A Workers’ Oral History (University of Washington Press), was a Nautilus Book Awards silver winner in 2016. It recounts how ironworkers and other construction craftspeople overcame dangerous job conditions and the hardships of the Great Depression to build one of America’s most iconic bridges. In this interview Jim and Harvey discuss the post-Harry Bridges era of the ILWU, their victories in the anti-union neoliberal era and what lessons the new wave of labor organizers can learn from the historically radical union.
