Candidate for Los Angeles City Attorney Aida Ashouri joins the show to talk about how much power the city attorney has. It is A LOT. Like maybe more than the mayor. It’s crazy. Aida talks about what she would do in that pivotal position.

Taylor Smith, one of Gabe’s fellow activists on the ground in LA, calls in to the show from the federal building as we all await the verdict of our friend on trial against DHS. They discuss the ways we can use humor and memes to fight fascism (the Portland frog) how trolling the officers creates humanity and dispels fear and power, and ways to show up that confuse and disarm.

tw: suicide

As part of a series of interviews with Gabe’s fellow anti-ICE activists on the ground in LA, we’re joined by Eddy.Mp4, one of the first people that Gabe met downtown this summer. Gabe first saw Eddy in a green Luigi cap telling National Guardsman that hurting American citizens would give them lasting mental health issues. That compassion led Gabe to reach out and the rest is history. Eddy talks to us about going from a regular gay guy to some kind of human rights activist, wild stories he’s experienced that haven’t made the news, and what we both hope everyone can do to wake up and get involved.

Gabe gives a short personal update on the anti-ICE movement he's been involved with and shares what's been going on in court, in the protests on the ground, and in the media. He's a bit mad at you all.

Fuck ICE. Fuck CoreCivic and Geo Group. Fuck Trump. Anyway, in the actual episode, Gabe is joined by career meteorologist Alan Gerard, author of the awesome Substack Balanced Weather (one of Gabe's new hyperfixations). We get into the weeds on how the Trump administration's war on weather is insane and probably going to get us all killed. (Gabe's words.) Then, privatizing the weather, defense contracts, tragic floods, and heat waves, and discussing the withholding of the weather forecast and its conspiratorial and logical ends. Weather is now a partisan issue and a key to diplomacy. The weather community is abuzz.

How do we live like the world is dying? (Because it is.) Margaret Killjoy, writer, podcast host and person Gabe admires, joins the show for a healing and detailed conversation to educate baby anarchist Gabe and his audience. We talk about how everyone in Gabe’s life thinks he’s lost his mind about politics, Margaret’s extensive knowledge of socialism, communism and labor history and tactics, and the political horseshoe about guns. Plus how did Margaret convince a cop to quit her job?

Happy Labor Day weekend! Gabe’s thrilled to welcome reporter Hamilton Nolan to the show to talk about the intersection of basically every political issue with labor organizing. It’s not just about unionizing your office, it’s about how to work with unions to create the change we’re looking for.
