Last Minute: Politics

We finish our reading selection from "The East Is Still Red" by Carlos Martinez and talk MORE Israel Palestine!

Isn't CHINA doing a genocide too? Well. I dunno. Look at the evidence. This week we talk about Palestine and how Israel keeps killing thousands of children there. But ALSO we talk about XinJiang province in China where there's a fake "genocide" also "taking place". Who knows though! No way to know. Just gotta keep on... keepin... on?

I'm back! And the news did not stop while I was away.

Why can New Jersey residents vote to close private prisons, if the "good" side of our single political party can just force them open again through court proceedings? Because that's what's happening.

Once again I am joined by LORCAN to talk about the UPS strike, all the stuff going on in Africa, the EFF rally that caused much pearl-clutching, and MORE!

WE GOT Kirther in today to talk about Brasil's left wing. You see, Pepper is lucky enough to have traveled to Brasil a couple times now, and weirdly his international politics seem to line up well with Brasilian Communists. WHY IS THAT? What's up with the USA's "left"?

Biden is denying asylum to a lotta people AND just appointed a war criminal to a diplomatic board. Why is that bad, even though Biden is a Democrat?

We got lots of bad news and we're trying to laugh our way though it. Join Pepper and Beatrice Poundwell as they talk about the supreme court, Threads, that submarine that exploded, and much much more!

You gotta actually PUT the plumbing in your house, or you didn't put the plumbing in your house. We got LOTTSA metaphors for you today. LORCAN joins us once again (@LorcanVulpini on twitter) and we are talking about FOOD, THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, CORNEL WEST, THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

BEATRICE P is back in the house and we're talking about Trump, Foodstamps, Gay beer, Straight liquor, and hard sports. Some of those I made up. Was kinda riffing there for a second.

WE GOT BEATRICE POUNDWELL, #1 fan of Nohomers.net (It's the new Twitter) and we're talking about the writer's strike. We answer the tough questions like: Are writers people? Do they deserve wages? How much food is too much to feed your writer?
