Dr. Carter J. Carter, a seasoned psychotherapist and academic, joins us to explore the rich and complex tapestry that intertwines psychotherapy, activism, and radical politics. His profound insights challenge conventional views, urging us to reconsider the role of therapy in societal change. By questioning its function as potentially the "opiate of the masses," Dr. Carter delves deep into the heart of leftist ideologies, evaluating the intricate balance therapists must navigate as both healers and, inadvertently, agents of the state. With an emphasis on the distinction between individual and systemic issues, he calls for a therapeutic practice aligned with anarchist beliefs, acknowledging the broader structures that shape personal struggles.

Our conversation broadens to consider the foundations of mental health, questioning the universality of therapy as a solution for psychological woes. Dr. Carter critiques traditional approaches, drawing on the works of Frantz Fanon and others, to emphasize the psychological benefits of collective actions such as union membership. We discuss the limitations of psychoanalysis, the critique of SSRIs, and the advocacy for communal support systems that address the emotional injuries perpetuated by societal structures like patriarchy. The dialogue also highlights the necessity for broader interventions, particularly in addressing historical trauma in Native American communities and blending individual and collective healing processes.

The episode culminates in a reflection on the evolving role of therapists within society, recognizing their potential to act benevolently even under systemic constraints. We explore the challenges faced by marginalized communities striving for change, emphasizing the need for autonomy, agency, and mutual aid. By addressing the shortcomings of mental health care systems and the societal reliance on therapy, we underscore the pressing need for systemic change. Dr. Carter's insights provide a compelling call to action, urging a shift towards collective empowerment and societal transformation, with therapy as a complementary but not sole vehicle for liberation.

This episode provides a critical guide for individuals, particularly undocumented immigrants and their allies, on how to navigate and protect themselves and their communities amidst increasing federal immigration enforcement by agencies such as ICE, CBP, and ERO in the Chicagoland area. Recorded on September 5, 2025, the discussion takes place as the National Guard is reportedly deploying to Chicago, and local journalists warn of a "fresh wave of deportation raids". Jazelle Rodriguez from Illinois Workers in Action, a nonprofit focused on the rights of undocumented workers, speaks with Dominic Guanzan about these threats, acknowledging the severity while also finding moments of laughter as a coping mechanism.

For undocumented individuals, the primary advice is to know and assert their rights, regardless of residency status. Key rights include the right to remain silent, verbally stating this right, or using a "know your rights" card. Individuals can refuse entry to their homes without a judicial warrant, which must be signed by a judge with the proper name, valid date, and signature, distinguishing it from an administrative warrant. If agents have a judicial warrant, it should be slid under the door or shown through a window, as even a slight opening can be interpreted as consent. Other rights include refusing searches of oneself, vehicles, or belongings, the right to an attorney, and the right not to sign documents that are not understood. If arrested and there are no other options, only provide a full name and date of birth to assist family in locating them via locator.ice.gov; do not provide information about country of birth or citizenship status. Family preparedness planning is also crucial, involving discussions about children's care, assigning power of attorney, listing assets (which cannot be legally taken even if deported), and compiling important documents and emergency contacts. Seeking legal consultation with an immigration attorney is recommended to explore potential immigration relief, such as a U visa. For court appearances or check-ins, attending virtually is preferable, but if in-person, an attorney's presence is vital.

Allies and documented citizens are encouraged to protect their communities through several actions. Filming and documentation are paramount: use phones to record horizontally from a safe distance, focusing on the person being arrested (calling out their name and reminding them of their right to remain silent) and federal agents (faces, badges, tattoos, vehicle license plates). Footage should be held for at least two seconds per subject for clarity, with the time, date, and location stated aloud. In Illinois, filming in public without consent is legal, but safety is paramount; comply if agents tell you to back up. Footage should be immediately shared with immigrant rights groups or rapid response teams, such as the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR/ISER) hotline at 855-435-7693. Allies can also warn the community by shouting "Migra" or "ICE is here". Mutual aid such as financial support, food, or groceries for affected families, or offering to run errands, is also suggested. At work, allies can advocate for fair pay, prevent discrimination, and help report workplace issues for undocumented workers who still retain these rights. It is important to differentiate between local police, who wear uniforms with clear department names, and federal agents, who may wear plain clothes with "police" or "federal agent" vests, sometimes removing ICE badges, or all-green uniforms, often using unmarked vehicles with "weird plates". Building strong community ties and advocating with local police departments and mayors to release statements affirming non-cooperation with ICE can also provide reassurance.

Current enforcement strategies include a trend of "collateral damage," where agents arrest individuals who are not their primary targets, including US citizens or those who have followed legal processes like seeking asylum or attending ICE check-ins. Federal agents are changing tactics and are now expected to target large gatherings like parades and festivals, leading to the cancellation of some Mexican Independence Day events in Chicago. There is particular concern about deployments in collar counties like Lake County, which have significant Latino and immigrant populations and may receive less media attention. Such enforcement creates widespread fear, potentially leading people to avoid work or school, affecting mental health and local economies. Key organizations like Illinois Workers in Action, ICIRR/ISER, Organized Communities Against Deportation (OCAD), and The Resurrection Project are providing support, legal assistance, and rapid response coordination. The episode concludes with a strong emphasis on community unity, education, and resilience, expressing hope that despite potential damage, communities will not "break" under pressure
