Comrade Uncle Joe and Comrade Nephew Odysseas dive into a new article that Joe wrote with Professor Mary Layoun. Grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy your brand new Comrade Uncle! We missed you. Welcome back to us comrade.

Read the article here: https://www.athensjournals.gr/philolo...
Or on www.comradeunclepod.com which is also, incidentally, one of the places you can find both the video and audio version of the show.

At the end of this episode you will hear some sounds cut into the outro music that will make more sense if you watch the video version, OR you can go to the following links... but prepare yourself friends. In all seriousness, these are videos from Gaza, and while they are important to see, it is good to be prepared to see them, because they can be upsetting.

Comrade Uncle regales you with the various spiteful dipshittery of Florida's SB 1580 which just passed and was signed into law by renowned Floridaman Ron DeShitbag, excuse me, DeSanctimonious... Wait that's not it... DeSantis. Florida governor Rob DeSnivel and his crew of gerrymandering goons passed a law which attacks trans people, the right of hospitals to require masks, and gives all levels of healthcare providers the ability  to deny everything from birth control, to healthcare to anybody they dislike. "Freedom of conscience" my ass.
