Unelectable Airwaves episodes

  • Leafblower Go Brrr

    We shoot the shit about Portland, the feds, cable news, and Kanye's Harriet Tubman Memorial Shitposting Scholarship. You say New Slaves, we say capitalism.


    Bounce.

    1 hr 25 min
  • Masked Florida Man Throws Shoe

    Matt (@djtomhanks) and Tony (@tonywestside088) catch up with Florida activist and ex-Bernie staffer Thomas Kennedy (@tomaskenn) about his recent experiences advocating for a responsible Coronavirus response, and owning Ron DeSantis really hard. Will the culture war doom residents of the American Riviera?


    Then we relive our experiences on the Bernie campaign and discuss what worked, and what needs to be reconsidered moving forward. Are we optimistic about the left's prospects in national politics?

    We briefly touch on the struggles of undocumented immigrants in the pandemic, and the dystopian power moves going on with DHS, CBP, and ICE. What's up with the secret police?

    Afterwards, we pay tribute to Michael Brooks and consider his legacy with the American and International left.

    Check out Thomas' day job at United We Dream

  • I'll Use You In a Good Way

    We come back for part 2 of our jam-packed talk with Savion Wright where we delve into his personal story with police violence and activism and how it links up with larger historical trends. We also do a Bernie postmortem and discuss making progressive inroads with Black communities. We finish up with goals for Savion's Senate run and how badly we need to defund the police. And Ted Cruz. #DefundTedCruz

    • Kanye in the Time of Corona

      The dudes rock through the week's events, talking about:

      • rapping Republicans
      • masked Texans
      • armed astroturfing

      • Qualified DC Immunity: All Dick and No Tarot

        Episode 20 y'all. @djtomhanks and @tonywestside088 unleash their massive brains on:

        • voter suppression fails and progressive wins 
        • embarrassing and feckless liberals
        • Afghani Russians
        • both sidesing the failed state and the utility of populist reactionaries
        • Milwaukee sex dungeons and the extent of cop atrocities
        • DC/PR statehood and horse-trading empires for chokehold  

          • Outro: Microphones "The Blow Pt. 2" 



          1 hr 37 min
        • More like Chaddeus Stevens

          @djtomhanks and @tonywestside088 do a history thing, talking Juneteenth, the 13th Amendment, and how America screwed up Reconstruction.   


          Then we nicely segue into the Coronarally in Tulsa, and how lame it must be to lose to Joe 'No Vibin' Biden. This leads to a discussion of whether white supremacy is waxing or waning in the imperial core, and whether boomers can be further victimized by the right's new culture war villains.

          Also are statutes a psyop?

          Outro jam by Ty Segall

        • No Lives Matter

          What do you think we're talking about?

          Love Live the CHAZ, burn the rest down.

        • ACAB ACAB ACAB

          Well? That's a nice precinct you got there, it would be shame if something were to happen to it...


          We're in the grips of a nationwide police riot, and we got a lot of pissed off young people with nothing to lose. Tiny Cheeto is hiding in the basement, and begging the pigs to find him some agitators for Neo Gitmo. Despite honey pots and loot boxes, the only radicals are roving bands of psycho chuds.  Open insurrection looms in the military, and the drones are no match for mean tweets.

          @djtomhanks and @tonywestside088 plot

          Outro jam "Ju$t" from the new RTJ ft. de la Rocha and Pharrell

        • Pandemicemonium w/ guest Psycho Neoliberal Tom

          On our last pre-revolt episode, @djtomhanks and @tonywestside088  have an aborted interview with Zerzan acolyte and legend of the hardcore scene, Psycho Tommy McHoohaa. Turns out, he's an anarcho-liberal. To hear the rest of our talk, check out his new pod Hard Nukes Only.


          After he takes off, we complain about Biden, Central Park Karens, and the mandatory vaccine crowd for a while.

          We also have a nice conversation about leftist psyops and MKUltra communes in there somewhere.
