Charles Bursell Presents

We share some wise resistance advice from our friends at Closer To The Edge, some advice of or our own on tackling the barrage of late-week headlines (hint: don't let them gaslight you), and finally, a request: whatever you do, please do NOT watch Tuesday's State Of The Union!  www.charlesbursell.com

Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! Host: Peter Donalds. For this week's playlist and links to all episodes visit our website.

Another DHS killing. Degenerate Marco Rubio spits 'blood & soil' on the international stage while stumbling Dems look for their legs. The Regime terrorizes the people of Cuba with sanctions and abuses American children in concentration camps. And it's official: major U.S. news media is conquered, don't even bother anymore. Sheesh, no wonder I'm an Anarchist. www.charlesbursell.com

Court wins for the Dem-6,  EPA drops a bomb, ICE on the move, inflated lies, and what's your price? How much cash would it take to buy your civic soul?  www.charlesbursell.com

Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity with your host Peter Donalds. Episode 2 features music from Elaine Purkey, Stevie Wonder, Windborne Singers, Woody Guthrie, and more. For complete playlists and links to all episodes visit our website.

Bad Bunny's slam dunk win for the culture, Pam Blondie's impeachable performance before House Oversight, and ICE takes its Gestapo act from the streets into the halls Congress. www.charlesbursell.com

The regime's cruelty isn't a glitch, it's the system working as designed. Democratic politicians and corporate media talking heads tell us to "stand up and fight back," but refuse to dismantle the systems that breed white supremacy and capitalist power. Real democracy can't coexist with profit and control. Abolitionist social anarchy is the only path to collective liberation.  www.charlesbursell.com

A weekly offering of old and new songs for freedom, justice and solidarity with your host Peter Donalds www.charlesbursell.com

The Regime's brazen new moves to rig elections and the everyday acts you can do to put yourself on the (very obvious) right side of history. www.charlesbursell.com

Rigging the midterms, searching for needles in the Epstein haystack, advocacy journalism challenged, and it's time for the resistance to broaden our scope – and sharpen our demands.  www.charlesbursell.com

The regime is building a techno-fascist surveillance state with you as a consumer cog. Join the dreamers and malcontents while there's still time to defeat the despots and build a better world. www.charlesbursell.com

American Fascism takes its show on the road with its Hitleresque board of "peace." Then, terrorizing an entire city, Secret Police Jackboots conduct another brutal public execution. Abolish ICE/CBP. End the Regime.  www.charlesbursell.com

Lessons from Martin Luther King Jr., a wild ride over Greenland, and making the best of a broken America.  www.charlesbursell.com

We cannot match their violence (nor should we try) but neither can we defeat the Regime with so-called "peaceful" protest. Also, normalizing state thuggery and the Venezuela fiasco.  www.charlesbursell.com

The brave and righteous Twin Cities are showing the way! Find resistance training in your town. Also, the Regime triples down on racism and chaos. And, WTF is with the RFK food pyramid? www.charlesbursell.com

America's unbridled fascism must be stopped. The problem: the only alternative offered is the outdated and exploitative "postwar rules-based order." There is a third option. www.charlesbursell.com

Old school imperialism, taking the lessons of Jan 6 forward, and a killing cold as ICE.  www.charlesbursell.com

Mamdani takes the oath and the reins, Regime racism and Israeli brutality continue unabated, and Venezuela marks a renewed U.S. hegemony. www.charlesbursell.com

Starting Thursday, January 1st 2026, The Log will air daily 10-minute segments exclusively on Substack @charlesbursell. Not to worry, the twice weekly half-hour podcasts will continue as usual on all platforms. Happy New Year!  substack.com/@charlesbursell  

Looking back at 2025 and ahead to 2026 with a warning: It's more important than ever to jettison corporate news.  www.charlesbursell.com

A look at the many holidays around the globe from ancient traditions to modern takes on the winter party, including mischievous (even dark) characters, and irreverent (even subversive) customs of role-reversal and debt relief. Just what we need.  www.charlesbursell.com

Vanity Fair stands out among dismal Regime media. Murder week on the high seas, in Hollywood, an Australian beach, and a college campus. Medicare for all, and good elections news.  www.charlesbursell.com

It's campaign season again and Democrats are going to win big – for all the wrong reasons. Legacy media discovers mutual aid, recommended anarchist reading, and some good news: we're not dead yet!  www.charlesbursell.com

Abandoning Ukraine and Gaza, a looming U.S. State Media, SCOTUS builds a dictator, American democracy deemed "obstructed," and are YOU a terrorist?  www.charlesbursell.com

A monologue of political, cultural, and media criticism from a social-anarchist/abolitionist perspective. This episode: Person of the Year, political violence, The Regime's authoritarian-racist foreign doctrine, and more.  www.charlesbursell.com

MAGA has no doubt scored wins, but it's not particularly smart, it's not original, it's not even real. Also, thoughts on the DC shooter aftermath, Hegseth's debacles, and a tribute to the great Frank Skillman.  www.charlesbursell.com

Strikes and boycotts needed to bring down the Regime will require shared pain and sacrifice. Mutual Aid can not only protect us while we fight, but ultimately create a new model for when we win. And we can start right now.  www.charlesbursell.com

Don't give up on impeachment! There are (1) dozens of articles to choose from, (2) recent examples proving that public outcry still matters, and (3) several persuadable Congressional Republicans. www.charlesbursell.com

COP30 fails as the Climate Crisis continues unabated, The Orange Meat Puppet descends into madness, MTG chickens out, MAGA re-calculates, and Musk gets one thing right: the end of money.  www.charlesbursell.com

The lesson we must take from recent MAGA setbacks is pressure works so triple down. Also, thoughts at the close of COP30 and we love Miss Piggy! www.charlesbursell.com

Every day is Taco Tariff Tuesday, COP30 stymied by old systems while the world burns, Whoville hawks Walmart, and the Epstein files buried under the guise of an active case.  www.charlesbursell.com

Americans are coming around to the economic blackout, impeachment, and challenging corporate Dems. Sure, they're bandwagon jumpers, that's okay! Also: Epstein, wag-the-dog wars, my take on the shutdown cave, and people don't fly.  www.charlesbursell.com

The cruelty and chaos of the Regime appear to be intentional. The good news: we have both the moral high ground and the numbers. All we need is the will to act. www.charlesbursell.com

The Orange Meat Puppet's sociopathic response to that Oval Office medical emergency, war crime boat murders, the sandwich guy, what to do when bad people die, and other stories from our current tragic comedy, all set to goofy music.  www.charlesbursell.com

Enjoy the big election wins and then get right back to work: Push elected Democrats to progressive populism and thwart MAGA plots to rig the 2026 midterms.  www.charlesbursell.com

People are finally coming around to the realization that there's no going back to the world as we knew it. So, who should go up against Tucker Carlson in 2028, AOC or Jon Stewart? www.charlesbursell.com

When a salute is an insult, Stephen Miller's bigger, badder paramilitary, some media criticism, welcoming the Amazon robots, and how to defeat perpetual disaster capitalism. www.charlesbursell.com

Norms busted, rules ignored, and convoluted laws reverse-engineered to get away with murder – literally. We have the power to stop the madness. www.charlesbursell.com

From desecrating the People's House, to obscenely naked murders at sea, to vulgar rants and literal sh*t-posting, the Miller/Vought Regime is governing by sheer gall. We have to meet them with defiance and truth. www.charlesbursell.com

Our Grandparents risked their lives to fight the Fascists. Are you willing to cancel your Amazon subscription? We have to hit the oligarchs (and the Dems) where it hurts.  www.charlesbursell.com

A dangerous new archetype is on the rise. Smug, confident, rule-breaking amateurs are taking over media and politics. They are decidedly far-right, disguised as centrist, and the chief facilitator of American Fascism.  www.charlesbursell.com

High Court to rig the polls for permanent Regime majority, 11,000 Palestinian hostages left to rot, US troops obey illegal orders, the GOP Nazi Youth, Dems assist on healthcare gouging and denial of basic human rights. www.charlesbursell.com

Give back Turtle Island, the peace won't hold (I hope I'm wrong), Nobel nonsense, and apparently you and I are terrorists! Who knew?  www.charlesbursell.com

Repugs eighty-six the government, Epstein shutters the House, and Bondi breaks the Senate. Also: Violence and extortion by the Miller/Vought Regime, and you-know-who is nothing but a big orange meat puppet.  www.charlesbursell.com

Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are co-dictators, a primer on Informational Autocracy, and the two essential keys to victory (1) keep truth alive and (2) build a populist alliance. www.charlesbursell.com

Losing dear ones, deep ecology, a bogus “peace deal,” madness at Quantico, and more of the 45 acts of non-compliance for ordinary people.  www.charlesbursell.com

The lies around government shutdown, online shooters, Antifa, and immigrants. Also: cleanup on aisle Jimmy, the Comey debacle, and 45 ways to resist.   www.charlesbursell.com

The dehumanization of smart phones, the depravity of true crime, the flaws of the adversarial system, the convolution of law, the resources of justice, and the brilliance of random citizens. www.charlesbursell.com

Jimmy's back, but the attack on free speech continues. Dangerous and moronic displays on Autism and at the U.N. Kirk's Nuremberg rally, the looming shutdown, and Kamala Harris needs to shut all the way up. www.charlesbursell.com

All they understand is money. It is their life's blood. They use it as a tool to suppress us. And therein lies our power to defeat the regime.  www.charlesbursell.com

We can choose which direction to go forward, but there's no going back. www.charlesbursell.com
