In our latest, we talk with legendary filmmaker, screenwriter and novelist John Sayles. We start with a discussion about his new novel "Crucible." But also talk about labor, class consciousness, portraying the organizer as a hero, the border and the American empire in his, and other, films and novels.

On January 23, 2026, we saw the first general strike in 80 years in Minnesota after the murder of Renee Good by ICE (one day before their murder of Veteran’s Administration ICU nurse and union member Alex Pretti). Organizing, direct action and strikes are increasing in recent years and have the potential to lead to a larger general strike. They also have a long rich history in the US. In our latest, Scott talks with writer, historian and labor organizer Fred Glass about the rich history of general strikes in America and their possibilities for the future. We also discussed Fred’s short film on May Day and the importance of May Day and the Haymarket Affair in modern labor history

Demonized by Republicans and Democrats alike, a myth emerged around “antifa” during Donald Trump’s first term. But few understand the dangerous work antifa does to disrupt and unmask the latest crop of white supremacists or listened when antifa sounded the alarm about these white supremacists taking positions of power. But, this underground network of militant anti-fascists is determined to stop the rising tide of fascism in America, and does so risking life and limb.

February 1st is the 66th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-ins where four African-American student sat in at a Woolworth's, suffering abuse from white racist patrons and eventually jail. Those actions launched the student sit-in movement to end segregation and led to over 70,000 people participating, including civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Bayard Rustin and many others. It also led to the formation of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and modern civil rights movement.

In our latest, Bob and Scott talk about anniversary of the sit-ins and then discuss it in the context of today's movement resisting Trump and ICE in Minneapolis and communities across the country.

It's MLK Day weekend. We discuss the radical legacy of King. His

opposition to the Vietnam war, the Poor Peoples' Campaign, his

campaign to boycott the 1968 Olympics and his socialist politics. We then discuss his influence in the resistance to state violence that we're seeing today in the streets of Minneapolis and other places.

We're in a critical point where great forces are trying to break the legacy of Dr. King. Our message remains the same as his, make trouble, misbehave and get into the streets!
