Obsession Over Recession Depression: Feeding the Economic HypeBeast.

We just came through the eighth “technical” recession over the past 50 years and many predict that another is around the corner.

The School Shooting Script: Our Immunocompromised Body Politic.

It’s the same old script. Mass shooting occurs. Thoughts and prayers fly. Declarations are made. Fingers point. There’s something more insidious at play in this nation than just easy access to weapons and ammunition. Our propensity toward gun violence is indicative of a deeper illness. Like many difficult issues, it’s never just one thing but a confluence of deadly issues that plague our country. To fight for the “soul of the nation,” one has to first ask whether we ever had one to begin with.

Student Debt: Hey Boomer, STFU.

Various sources report that the Biden Administration is set to release its plan to deal with student indebtedness. Cancellation? Forgiveness? Refinance? Today’s episode covers the spirited debate surrounding student loan forgiveness and the structural issues that plague the American system of higher education. We cover the history of student loans and how perverse incentives, corporate greed and colleges with endless appetites for growth created a juggernaut of debt and bureaucracy no amount of forgiveness can fix. And, we build a case for policy measures that can restore some balance in the system.

Boarding Schools from Hell: Indian Residential Schools in America

Imagine for a moment a breaking news story that more than 500 bodies of white children were found buried in unmarked graves at some of the most prestigious boarding schools in New England…That we discovered a federal plot to steal children, place them in forced labor camps within these schools and lie about their whereabouts when they died. And that the practice was in existence as recently as the 1960s. It would be fucking chaos. And rightly so. This exact scenario unfolded last week with the release of a Department of Interior report about the history of so-called “Indian Residential Schools” in the United States. No outcry. No outrage. No breaking news alerts. Just another day in the United States of Hypocrisy.

Convention of States: The Right Wing Takeover Has Only Just Begun.

For decades, right wing actors have been steadily tearing apart critical protections of our democracy and stacking the deck in their favor. Civil rights and liberties that were hard fought and then eventually assumed have slowly disappeared. Voting rights. Privacy. Worker projections. Economic mobility. And soon, as we now know, people’s rights to their own bodies. Nothing happens overnight and the process has been slow, steady and painful because the right wing in America is deliberate, organized and patient. Today we examine yet another long-term, right wing attempt to hijack the political system called a Convention of States. Libertarian conservatives have been playing a long chess game while Democrats and liberals have been playing checkers.  Chapters Intro: 00:00:51 Chapter One: So what the fuck is this thing? 00:02:59 Chapter Two: What’s the end game here? 00:10:24 Chapter Three: Um, is this what the framers intended? 00:15:59 Chapter Four: We might need more states. 00:23:21 Chapter Five: Bring it home, Max. 00:32:50 Outro: 00:56:01 Resources Convention of States Action Common Cause: The Dangerous Path- Big Money’s Plan to Shred the Constitution SourceWatch: Convention of States Action Planned Parenthood: Griswold v.

Where is the Religious Left? Dissecting the American Theocracy.

Since the Civil War, white Christians in this country have swung wildly between advancing a social doctrine of equality and promoting outright racism, nationalism and hatred of the poor. Since the Eisenhower years, however, Christians of all stripes have decidedly split along similar fault lines to our politics. While secularists and the so-called religious left represent the majority of Americans, the fervent white Christian nationalist wing of the country seems to be fully in control of the national agenda. We invited Brad Onishi from the Straight White American Jesus podcast to help us unpack the divide between the religious right and left in the United States.  Chapters A note about our episode collaborator: 00:00:08 Intro: 00:01:04 Chapter One.
