  • The Vast Majority: Rebecca Parson for Washington
    What a time to be alive, when there are so many socialists running for Congress that it's difficult to schedule them all. We've interviewed two socialists running for House recently: Heidi Sloan, who's running in Texas, and Cathy Kunkel, who's running in West Virginia.
    Today, we're interviewing a third socialist House candidate: Rebecca Parson in Washington's sixth district. Rebecca is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, an activist with the Tacoma Tenants Organizing Committee, and a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Pierce County, advocating for children in the foster care system.

  • The Dig: Settler-Colonial Revolutionaries with Joshua Simon

    The divide between Latin American and the United States was not always so evident. Across the hemisphere, creoles—the descendants of European settlers, born in the Americas—launched revolutions to cast off European rule and preserve their own elite position over black and indigenous people. Joshua Simon explains how rival settler-colonial projects became today's status quo of US dominance.

  • The Vast Majority: Checking in with NY State Senator Julia Salazar
    It's safe to say that Julia Salazar's campaign for state senate in New York was the most watched and most brutal state legislature race in recent history, maybe in all of US history. But what she's done in office since then hasn't received as much attention. Micah sat down with Salazar to talk about what she's been up to since heading to Albany.jacobinmag.com/subscribe
