Trump and his cronies have taken aim at the federal workforce. Elon Musk has been leading a purge of federal workers, issuing sweeping terminations and policies that aim to harass any workers that are fighting to hold onto their jobs.

Pat Kearns joins us today to give us an insider's perspective on these attacks. Pat is a 30+ year nurse, as well as the president of his local union, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Local 2547.

For those fighting for a better world, the teachings of Mao Zedong are essential in understanding how to bring about revolution. To give us a crash course on Mao's teachings, we welcome back Josh Sykes, author of "The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism", and contributing author of "People's China at 75 - The Flag Stays Red". In today's episode, Josh covers Mao's primary texts, and breaks down how Mao contributed to the strengthening of Marxism-Leninism.

We encourage listeners to read Josh's book: "The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism".

That book was the topic of our last episode with Josh: "What is Marxism-Leninism?"

Our listeners should also buy a copy of "People's China at 75 – The Flag Stays Red".

From Masao Suzuki's latest article on Fight Back! News:

"President-elect Trump is claiming that he can abolish birthright citizenship, seeking to strip citizenship from 7 million or more Americans who are children of undocumented immigrants."

Masao is a retired professor of economics and lifelong activist who joins us today to breakdown the historical context of birthright citizenship, the historical relationship of the US's treatment of oppressed nationalities, and the fight we have ahead of us under the next presidency.

Read the rest of Masao's article on this topic on Fight Back! News.
