Not Safe For Wonks

I... what is this episode about anyway? A grab bag featuring Joe Biden's exploding eyeball, which Star Wars movies are good, Boris Johnson, CUCK the movie, and more. Strictly good vibes.

If you haven't heard from Sedinam Kinamo Christin Moyowasifza-Curry in person, today is your lucky day. She comes by the studio and talks about her tragic/hilarious family history, her frictions & successes with the Green Party (Howie Hawkins might get some smoke, too), her plan for building the Greens into a majority party in the US, and her plan for preserving the climate. A very good time and a must listen interview.

She also wants you to read:

Everybody says it: the children are our future. But children also represent our past priorities too. Dre leads a discussion on the failures of modern schooling and the causes that led us down a path where so many kids are neglected.

There are lots of jokes, too.

We really reach high this week and grab a guest we've wanted for a long time: Ezee, who is also a big figure in the Andrew Yang community. We chop it up for 45 or so. Brandyn is out, Dre is in.

There's a little Yang debate and a little discussion of how activism works in general.

Or, Marianne Williamson is the TVTropes of candidates. For this pod, we trace the development of this idea through the founders, to Dennis Kucinich and Barbara Lee, to Marianne Williamson.

You'll get an understanding of why this can be so helpful to building institutional power on the left, and why it's vital that this happens right... now.

A really stimulating conversation with Green Party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins. He's the original author of the Green New Deal, and we talk about whether current proposals are enough to solve the climate crisis, what issues you'll care about five years from now, and the future of the American left.

Without spoiling anything, Howie is going to have some Very Good Tweets... he's @HowieHawkins and you should follow.

Let's get into how Hong Kong became the firepit that it is now, how it connects to what we're going through today. And should we be siding against the protestors because something something imperialism? Let's break that down.

Editing by @ren. he's working on something to promote. i think.

Finally: are you a marianne supporter? send 2 minutes of audio on why you support her and send it to nsfwonks at gmail.

This week we're doing a rundown of every candidate's 404 pages. Some of them are what you'd expect but others are AMAZING. Also, Tom Steyer is actually going to make this debate, hahaha. :(

A positive and life affirming take on Jeff Epstein's """suicide""". We had to dig deep but we found it!

Totally by accident, but we'll take credit anyway.

This is more of a half sized episode, but we're probably going to squeeze out #14 ahead of schedule. Whenever we have a meeting, it ends with us giving The People more content, and The People is YOU.

Love is a powerful emotion, but it can be redirected, manipulated, and twisted into something ugly.

Sorcha Flynn is founder of the Revolutionary Star, a venue for service members and their children to discuss their feelings about imperialism and the military.

Today we sat down with her to discuss her own upbringing, the way the military propagandizes those who don't fight, how she turned away from religious animus, why soldiers tend to get the short end of the defense budget and put up with horrible circumstances at home, and what people can do to put a stop to this kind of destructive thinking.

It's another very strong listen.

By the way, Not Safe For Wonks is moving to Monday and Thursday release schedule. We'll see you Thursday.
