Activist Catie Laffoon joins the show to talk about the largest ICE detention center in California, which has garnered almost no media attention, and the example of California City becoming owned by ICE. Catie and Gabe traveled two hours outside LA to what they believe to be a future "slave city" to find scandals, horrors, insanity, and corruption. They discuss their theories and research on how cities will be taken over by the federal government and military.

Harvard professor and historian Sven Beckert joins the show to talk about how capitalism started and how we got here. Plus, gender and racial roles in capitalism and why we view the stock market as a mystical god.

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.
