Rrrrn and Tiberius sit down with local anti-ableist organizer Garrett Winters to discuss issues within both the left and society in general as they relate to how we treat the disabled among us and how we can overcome this. For those who want to learn more about what we discussed and take that and run with it, here's Garrett's list of links and further readings as well as their PayPal support link:

Time for some Inside Baseball, comrades, as Sauce and Tiberius are joined by guest Valerie Sinclair (https://twitter.com/maruchan1312) to discuss the recent DSA West Coast Regional Convention in LA and generally dive into the internal challenges and structural issues within the DSA. Stick around at the end (at about 49m 28s)to hear why both Sauce and Valerie are running to be on the NPC themselves!

Tiberius apologizes for missing the "end" of the shutdown, but comrades Mack and Sauce had a great discussion about the shutdown, TSA peeping our junk, and how much NPR sucks with Matt and Anna from the Breadline Podcast (https://twitter.com/thebreadlinepod)

Emily (@snarlsdegaulle) talks to Sauce (@communalsauce) and Mack (@incarcountry) about the Gilet Jaunes protests and the political situation in France. Vive la Commune de Paris!

For something a little different, comrade Tiberius recently recorded a talk given by Geographer Richard Walker of UC Berkeley as part of his speaking tour for his latest book, Pictures of a Gone City, about the stunning growth of wealth and the concomitant explosion of inequality in the Greater Bay Area, a region infamous as perhaps the beating heart and crown jewel of modern global capitalism. The audience for this talk was a left liberal/progressive crowd, however both the talk and the book are well worth paying attention to for those of us on the socialist left.

Returning from hiatus, comrade Tiberius sits down with Peter Coffin to discuss their book Custom Reality and You. Subscribe to their YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/petercoffin) for some fantastic video essays, and get the book in e-book or dead tree format at https://amzn.com/1521741042

In what turned out to be unsurprisingly a fantastic discussion, Sauce and Tiberius speak with Breht Ó Séaghdha of Rev Left Radio (https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/) and the Guillotine (https://theguillotinepodcast.libsyn.com/) about political education for revolutionary socialists, how they developed their politics, and how theory and practice interrelate. Please support the show at https://patreon.com/leftcoastmedia if you're able, and follow Breht and his work on twitter at twitter.com/DeadIrishRebel, twitter.com/RevLeftRadio, twitter.com/GuillotinePod, and you can find this and the work of many more comrades at https://www.critmediations.com/

Just Sauce and Tiberius this week, and a discussion we thought would only fill about 15 minutes.

Communal Sauce takes the reigns in Tiberius' absence to dive into burnout -- what it is, how to spot it, and what to do about it -- with Leslie and Meagan (twitter.com/garbage_hime and twitter.com/MemeVVitch).
