Next, water protectors Red Fawn Fallis and Michael Little Feather Giron have received harsh sentences for their efforts to protect water, land and people at Standing Rock.

This week on Act Out! Colonialism didn't just happen – it's still happening. Natives weren't just here hundreds of years ago, they're still here. We sit down with Jen Deerinwater to discuss the colonialist paradigm, anti-native behaviors in the everyday and two-spirits in a singular world.

In a 4th of July special, we take a look at what America is – the good, the bad and the ugly – the real shit and the real people fighting and building beyond the confines of a capitalist empire. Then – we'll wrap it all up in a firework musing that goes quite well with sparklers and watermelon.

You can't know America unless you know US Empire. We sit down with Kevin Zeese who has recently returned from Venezuela to talk elections, economic warfare and media blockades. We also take a look at Nicaragua, a country which also finds itself in the cross-hairs of our flailing hegemony and economic crusading.

A backlog symptomatic of a patriarchal system that not only devalues women but devalues survivors of sexual assault. Plus, J20 trials isn't over. 36 defendants still face decades in jail - here's what you can do. Cheri Honkala with the Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign talks living and building on the streets. And finally, Utopia seems far fetched – but what if instead of the typical idea of perfection, these iterations of Utopia simply mean a place beyond the confines of capitalist failings.

This week on Act Out! The war machine is now branching out – into early childhood education. Coke's bogus greenwashing and how corporations use courts to SLAPP down their opponents. Next, “serving, caring and protecting” are all words that authorities use – but as human rights violations and environmental abuses flourish – their mottos continue to fall facsistically flat. And finally, Jay from Three Sisters Camp joins us to talk about the camp's resistance to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

In this special extended interview with Eugene Puryear, we talk about the upcoming commemoration of Juneteenth - the abolition of slavery.

What does it mean to fight for freedom post-slavery? Plus, what does segregation look like today? How do things like gentrification and school choice fuel systemic racism under the guise of “progress?” Finally, reaching out to those on the inside is a vital part of commemorating Freedom Day. More on that and other events that seek to inspire, engage and build.

When a regulatory institution doesn't regulate – but rather rubber stamps dirty energy projects for fossil fuel companies destroying our land, air and water — what tactics should you consider?

Next up, how corporate media is protecting racists and normalizing oppression.

Finally Freedom Day – or Juneteenth is around the corner. Eugene Puryear joins us once more – this time to talk about commemoration and the ongoing fight for black liberation in this country.

Facial recognition is here, but far from being the slick Bond-style tech of tomorrow, it can't seem to recognize faces very well. It's also in the hands of the untrained and apparently senile.

Next, cops and the most marginalized and oppressed in our society don't have a lot in common - but they soon may if Congress has their way.

And finally, CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou joins us to talk CIA, whistleblowing, deep state and more.

UC workers strike but find a foe where the friendlies should be – an unfortunately familiar story. Next up, unemployment rates may be going down but what does that actually mean? Hint: our economy is not doing well. And neither are the soon-to-be-homeless elderly of Louisiana – because you know, budget cuts. Finally, Alex Cohen of Earth Defense Coalition joins us to talk Puerto Rico – a colony wrestling with both climate change and colonial capitalism – and what aid and autonomy look like on the gr
