Sithty Minutes

Happy 1/3rd of the year! We celebrate by bringing our first guest, Ben McDonald of The Khetanna Cast, on board the Illumination to discuss how language can make people do terrible things by how it frames reality. From Matt Gaetz's misconstrued idea of how old a woman is, to demonizing health care as experimentation in Arkansas, we dive deep and explore the language that minimizes and demonizes the same way Palpatine minimized ending the Republic and demonized Jedi.

This transmission comes to you after a heavy week. From the shooting in Atlanta, to the usual choppy waters of fandom, these are the weeks our resolve to speak on these issues matters most as fans. We also throw down the gauntlet in the Galactic Senate, and dunk on Sen. Ron Johnson for fearing BLM protestors more than insurrectionists.

Our allegiance is to the Republic, to DEMOCRACY! This week, Andrés, Roberto, and Des get together to talk about different ways to analyze just how democratic a society is.  We explore Participatory Budgeting in light of the Defund the Police movement, and how abortion is the ultimately way to give people in a democracy a choice in what happens to them.

It's the end of Black History Month, but as Saw Gerrera reminds us, "we have a long ride ahead of us." This week we focus on Chirrut and his quote to Capt. Andor that, "There is more than one kind of prison, Captain” and explore the ways society financially, and literally, imprisons people. We also found a probe droid our parlimentarian let us keep. Neat!

There's been an uprising, have you felt it?  Our transmission this week sheds light on a rebellion occurring in the the Outer Rim of Buenaventura, and how this is the result of strategic capitalist decisions.  Meanwhile, the next election in the Core Worlds is already being decided by First Order sympathizers, aka the Republicans.  Come for the valentine ships, stay for the international history.
