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...

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 ...

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....

Bonus: Texas Delegate Hijinx

We talk with El Paso organizer and Bernie delegate JC Tirado about his work on the Texas Democratic Convention and ask the question that's on everyone's lips: why are Biden supporters so incredibly toxic and privileged?

We Need to Make People Understand that Nobody Cares About Them

We discuss post-Bernie goals for the left: @djtomhanks wants to build working class institutions and blackpill libs. @tonywestside088 just wants to get to the bottom of MK Ultra. Then we discuss the future of the Democrats: they're doing a lousy job even pretending to give a damn about working people. Not only are they failing at the low bar of protecting the hard fought concessions we've wrested away from the elites, they're complicit in ushering in our new disaster capitalist reality. So @djto...

@djtomhanks and @tonywestside088 got the rona...on our minds. But so does Joe Biden. Or at least we think he has it on his mind. Or what's left of his mind? Idk, is he gonna make it? Why is he hiding? Will America see Bernie's real leadership on display and implement his decisive and forward-looking recovery plans? #option2 ya'll, option 2. Outro music: Dan Deacon "USA: Iv.
