From Mali to Montreal, from May Day marches to Maori resistance, the world’s on fire—and people are pushing back. In this episode of Loose Wires, we cover five major stories of revolt and repression: pro-democracy protests in Mali, care worker solidarity in Aotearoa, anarchist actions on May Day, Gaza solidarity at Utrecht University, and the legacy of José Mujica. Plus: Emma Goldman’s flaws, Hasan Piker detained, and the trans-led quilt that asserts their continued presence and resilience.
