Visit RefuseFascism.org for additional resources and links relevant to this episode. It was great to see many listeners of the pod in the streets last week, including in Washington DC where the demand Trump Must Go NOW was brought to the gates of the White House. The fascist Trump regime has universities in their sights and are moving against students and the institutions themselves. Sam talks with Emily Van Duyne, one of the authors of the open letter issued by academics at Stockton University on April 2, "Silence is Collaboration: Academics Must Speak Out Against Fascism" which reads in part, "there is no appeasing an openly fascist Trump administration, for we know that no one is safe under fascism. When we keep our heads down and stay the course, the fascists continue to lie, extort like the mobsters they are, and humiliate and attack whoever they add to their list of enemies." Then, Sam talks with Heather Squire, who recently announced she's leaving her doctoral program at the University of Buffalo, issuing an open letter challenging the complicity of her institution in this time of crisis. Join us in the streets around the country on May 1 raising the single unifying demand: Trump Must Go NOW!Then, save the date: May 17, join protests around the country demanding Trump Must Go NOW (not eventually, not after the midterms, but NOW).We are on TikTok officially now!

Shout out to everyone in the streets yesterday saying Trump Must Go NOW!

Sam comments on the fourth anniversary of the January 6th coup attempt. Then, she chats with co-producer of the pod, Mark Tinkleman, exploring questions we've received. In this conversation, Sam and Mark discuss the current political landscape in the U.S., focusing on the lack of visible resistance against the rising fascism represented by Trump/Republi-fascist return to power. They draw parallels with South Korea's history of mass mobilization against oppressive regimes, emphasizing the need for sustained and organized resistance. They highlight the urgency of action in the face of a rapidly deteriorating political situation and the necessity of mass action to disrupt the status quo. The discussion also addresses the phenomenon of people tuning out from political issues, the urgency of challenging the non-fascist majority, and the dangers of basing movements solely on popular opinion.

Sam gives an update on Trump's new appointments to his Revengers cabinet and their implications, shouts out Evan Greer's disruption of anti-trans bigot Rep. Nancy Mace, and underscores the qualitative changes in governance that fascism represents and calls for collective action against MAGA fascism NOW not waiting until atrocities are underway. Sam also discusses Trump's plans for mass deportations of at least 11 million people, drawing parallels to historical atrocities and emphasizing the urgent need for mass defense, disruption and disobedience to support our immigrant siblings and stop the fascists from implementing their nightmare program. This week we re-run two interviews featuring contributors to the June issue of The New Republic titled "What American Fascism Would Look Like."

durée : 00:59:20 - Tous à la sieste - par : Nathalie Piolé - Ce soir, notre corps et nos oreilles répondent très fort ... à l'appel de la sieste !
One month to go before the election, what's happening? Elon + X going all out to get Trump back in power, mass deportation plans, nakedly Nazi justifications for those horrific plans, voter rolls being purged, multiple climate-change fueled storms pummeling the southeast with storms of disinformation and death threats against meterologists following, and more. The new apostolic march on Washington this past week called this election "America's last stand" - Sam discusses all this, then talks with Nick Quested, the filmmaker who embedded himself with the Proud Boys for the new documentary 64 Days (64daysfilm.com), which covers the period from the November 2020 election to the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

As we enter the final month before the November 2024 presidential election, Sam recaps recent developments including Jack Smith's recent court filing detailing the 2020 Trump coup attempt, the fascist disinformation campaign that is actively harming people in need of help and accurate information in the wake of Hurricane Helene while somehow blaming Democrats and more than anything, immigrants, for this climate-fueled destruction, and of course the "eyeliner on a pig" fascism on display during the Walz/Vance debate. These recent developments set the stage for another heavy conversation about the parallels between Trump's rhetoric and the broader fascist movements plans for mass deportation and "one really violent hour" to Kristallnacht, the Nazi-led pogrom that marked a key turning point in the Holocaust. To discuss this she speaks with Zoltán Grossman, author of Lessons of Kristallnacht, “Civil War,” and Mass Deportation. Dr. Grossman is Professor of Geography and Native American and Indigenous Studies, The Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington. Read more of his work at sites.evergreen.edu/zoltan.

Sam discusses the cruel and nakedly fascist “mass deportation” plank of both Project 2025 and the official GOP platform. Then, she talks with Dr. Alberto Toscano, author of Late Fascism: Race, Capitalism and the Politics of Crisis. Robin D. G. Kelley writes: "Late Fascism is brilliant, incisive, and right on time. We are living through a moment when the "F" word is no longer taboo and the threat of fascism lurks everywhere. And yet, so mired in debates over definitions, typologies, and analogies that our understanding of fascism remains elusive. Alberto Toscano avoids this trap by turning to anti-fascist thinkers, whose groundings in anticolonial, antiracist, and anticapitalist struggles remind us that liberalism is no enemy of fascism, and fascists flower in the hot house of capitalism."

Sam recaps recent developments including the escalating impact on the community of Springfield, Ohio from JD Vance's Hitlerian lies about immigrants there, the Republican Party that is made up of “Black Nazis” like Mark Robinson, the fascist organizing at the level of the Georgia state election board to find ways to throw the election to Trump in November, plus the heartbreaking stories that are starting to come out as maternal mortality review committees uncover cases of women who did not need to die but were denied life-saving abortion care because of bans in their states post-Dobbs. Then, she talks with Josh Cowen, author of The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers, about the anti-public school movement which is a key plank of Project 2025 and Agenda 47; who is behind this movement and what their true aims and the actual outcomes are.

Sam recaps recent events including the lynch mob atmosphere being whipped up against immigrants in general and Black Haitian immigrants in particular after white supremacists in Ohio started vicious lies against Haitians. These lies have been further amplified by J.D. Vance and Donald Trump including from the national debate stage with Kamala Harris this past week. Unfortunately these recent events couldn't be more timely alongside this week's discussion with Sasha Abramsky, author of the new book Chaos Comes Calling: The Battle Against the Far-Right Takeover of Small-Town America. From Eric Klinenberg :“In this chilling report from the American West, Abramsky shows how the extreme right has mobilized to upend local democratic institutions and warns of a fascist threat that's alarmingly close and widespread.

Sam recaps recent events and then talks with Paul Street about the GOP's unfolding plans to suppress the vote, intimidate their opposition (including by raiding extremely mainstream activists in Texas with LULAC [The League of Latin American Citizens] and sending police to the homes of people signing pro-abortion rights petitions in Florida), and unleash violence at multiple levels should Trump be declared the loser in November. In response to all this the Democrats are celebrating... the addition of Dick Cheney to their "big tent." Paul writes, "The nation is careening to some kind of constitutional crisis and potential major civil conflict after the next election. Anarchic US capitalism-imperialism has hatched a two-party system whose right-/Reich-most wing no longer accepts defeat through mere elections, no matter how tilted to the right the nation's electoral rules are... [and yet] There is liberating opportunity as well as eliminationist and authoritarian menace in the current perilous moment." Follow Paul Street's writings at paulstreet.substack.com.

Sam discusses the pivotal decision from the fascist-dominated Supreme Court to grant Trump permission to commit crimes through the immunity ruling this past year with historian Paul Street, along with the slew of other terrible rulings. Of course while this ruling would seem to green-light the current president to act as a king unbound by any rule over his “official acts,” the Biden administration and Congressional Democrats did not announce any action in response to this chilling marker on the slide towards fascism. Read and listen to more from Paul Street at https://paulstreet.substack.com/ Then, she talks with HuffPost reporter Matt Shuham about his latest article, “Schedule F: The 'Chilling' Trump Plan That Could Pave The Way For Authoritarianism.” Schedule F is the mechanism referenced in Project 2025 that will allow the widescale replacement of civll servants with Trump loyalists throughout government.

Sam talks with Merle Hoffman, long-time abortion rights activist and founder of one of the largest abortion clinics in the country, who has just written a memoir chronicling her decades of experience fighting for abortion rights. Get the book here: Choices: A Post Roe Abortion Rights Manifestomerlehoffman.com and choicesmedical.com or on Twitter: @MerleHoffman. For those looking for abortion care visit abortionfinder.org and prochoice.org For funding abortion agencies nationally visit abortionfunds.org. About the book: In the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade and a country divided, a pioneer in the pro-choice movement and women's healthcare offers an unapologetic and authoritative take on abortion and women's right to choose. Merle Hoffman has been at the forefront of the reproductive freedom movement since the 1970s. Three years before the Supreme Court legalized abortion through Roe v. Wade, she helped to establish one of the United States' first abortion centers in Flushing, Queens, and later went on to found Choices, one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive women's medical facilities. For the last five decades, Hoffman has been a steadfast warrior and fierce advocate for every woman's right to choose when and whether or not to be a mother. Now, amidst the aftermath of the Dobbs Decision, Hoffman has carefully compiled her decades of analysis, research, and experience into a tour de force manifesto that sheds light on the catastrophic repercussions of overturning Roe, and what we must do moving forward to ensure the safety and legality of abortion nationally. In Choices, Hoffman expresses her views on where we are and what lies ahead. She covers topics ranging from: revamping the healthcare system to support women's rights; combatting rising authoritarianism; the weaponization of religion; fighting the antis; practicing courage; sabotage from within the movement; and activating the next generation in the fight for reproductive justice.

As broadcast August 4, 2022 with plenty of defiant escapism for your streaming experience. Tonight we highlight the 50th anniversary of release for Superfly in 1972, which was not only a revolutionary film for it's time but is mostly known as one of the most iconic soul soundtracks ever made. Curtis Mayfield made what would be his indelible trademark on this OST, getting signed up late to the game to compose, arrange, and perform what became total legend. After opening, we have killer new tunes just out this week from Say She She, Khruangbin, Chaka Khan, Robert Glasper, and Robohands just to highlight a few. For hour two Dan Lloyd brings more rock heat even as he's on vacation from the likes of Screeching Weasel, Guerilla Toss, Off!, and also highlights some of the big rock acts in country this weekend for the first Pentaport Rock Festival since the pandemic began.#feelthegravityTracks (ST:RT)Part I (00:00)Curtis Mayfield – No Thing On Me (Cocaine Song)Say She She – NORMAPaul McCartney – Pretty Boys (Khruangbin remix)Brooklyn Funk Essentials – Scream!Fort Frances – Nothing Ever Change In AmericaIkebe Shakedown – Waiting for the Storm Part II (32:05)Robohands – NightshadeElijah Nang feat nogymx – Shaped by the SeaRobert Glasper feat Masego – All Masks Chaka Khan – Woman Like MeGloria Scott – All of the Time, You're On My MindVieux Farka Toure & Khruangbin – SavanneIdris Muhammad – Brother, You Know You're Doing Wrong Part III (65:35)Anti-Flag – LAUGH.
