Tony, preoccupied with impending clandestine plans and thoughts of his daughters, is frustrated by another useless encounter with law enforcement, only to realize, perhaps too late, how threadbare (his) rights have become.

Is it Hobbes SZN? It IS Hobbes SZN.

The women of 6Degrees stage a coup – but a new leadership structure, new relationship to funding, and a new mission clarifies something about fear for Shane. No one knows what she is capable of.

Is this is a shambolic mess or did things go exactly to plan (wait is that about the podcast or about this chapter?)?

What follows here, we fear, will be less than helpful, and will cover the major events of Ash’s chapter of 2032 and the impact of already anomic American polity on Ash’s greatest fears, his relationships, his insistence on the existence of sound science, and radicalization as this global emergency barrels forward. It concludes with a clandestine conference, which, I beg you, must remain ensconced in secrecy as it kind of breaks the novel.

AKA, Ash reflects on danger, where it comes from, how it works, and what it means for democratic politics as he confronts the impending election and the question of family. Never fear, Dawn Schafer and Oleg Burov avatars have you covered.

Struggling to define her self (our selves), Jackie’s “realism” looks a lot like denial as warning signs of the flood (might we say the deluge?) to come pile up around her, pooling at her ankles until, finally, she can’t look away.

Join us as Jackie explores new (old) trauma horizons of her own.

Our brains cannot even wrap around the explosive and [redacted] chapter about [redacted], the FBI report, and the surprisingly [redacted] nature of the report.

Tony – who should have believed in the omen of his dreams – sees his academic and personal lives collide as climate disaster shifts from something he has been warning us about to something threatening his family, where action on climate looks a little different than what he has imagined. Action hero, questionable means, valiant ends, tears, this chapter has it all.

Escalate.
This podcast insists there is no accountability for lazy thinking in a boondoggle.

Emily
It wasn’t like she didn’t share the chapter’s disdain for the quasi-celebrities the climate non-movement kept spitting up. This wasn’t about Morris, though. For her to think about Fanon, the different registers and meanings of violence, and the gender politics of movements, something else must be going on.

John
Felt a thrill crawl up his legs and arms into the core of his chest. Finally, the opportunity arose to say they needed to consider Say Nothing, Italian feminist and workers’ movements, and internal social movement politics. He looked curiously toward Quinn, Allen, Shane, Kai, and Murdock as they debated whether or not to suddenly pick up the sword.
