The Payback is a really remarkable, genre-bending book about how debt and policing dehumanizes us…that is somehow also funny? In these times? Buy @kashana’s amazing book. You’re gonna need it. bookshop.org/a/113982/978...

This week, Gregg Gonsalves (@gregggonsalves.bsky.social) joins us to help make sense of the absolute dumpster fire that is US public health right now—and to remind us why public health is not only worth fighting for, but essential to our democracy. Listen in. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Our conversation is based on @rushkoff.com’s book, Survival of the Richest, which is excellent— maddening and funny in equal measure. In a time where it feels like were all looking for an escape hatch, this book offers an important antidote. bookshop.org/a/113982/978...

This week, @rushkoff.com joins us for a timely, humane, and slightly terrifying conversation about apocalyptic tech fantasies, accelerationism, and and alternatives to becoming a bunker bro to escape the mess we’re in. Tune in! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

We're ending this *doozy* of a week with a much-needed dose of wisdom, sanity, and perspective. THE @proftriciarose.bsky.social joins us to talk about systemic racism, the meta-narratives that shape so much of American life, AND what we can do about them. Tune in.

Really wish we didn’t have to say this, but Renee Hopkins’ words for us last week about gun violence ring a whole lot more true today.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora & I talk w/ Renée Hopkins of @WAGunResponsib about the grim “normal” of gun violence, and the rare good news: WA has passed real safety laws saving lives while DC stalls on “thoughts & prayers.”

As a parent (and uh, human being) gun violence can feel like one of the most intractable political issues in the US. But this fight is winnable, even under the current admin. This was such a beautiful, promising conversation. The public health approach to gun violence that Renee describes is 🎯🎯.

Beyond grateful to @guyoron.net @veganpattyy.bsky.social and the Real Change team!

If you, like us, felt unfettered rage at last week's news of the Minneapolis shooting, we've got you. Renee Hopkins of the Alliance for Gun Responsibility joins us to talk about how WA is defeating gun violence, one small, brave policy win at a time. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora & I trace America’s collapsing systems + the oddball origin of our pod (zines, awkward poetry, a Town Hall that exposed GoFundMe as our “healthcare system”). open.spotify.com/episode/21tz...

This week, we take listeners on a bit of a history tour through America’s breaking safety systems, explain why crowdfunding can’t get us through their collapse, and look inside the podcast’s origins.

The world is terrible but we’re not. Join us! 😉 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?

The first time I posted about this distinction was many months ago, it remains important, most "journalists" still refuse to make the distinction:

Trump hasn't removed Lisa Cook, he's pretended to. He lacks the legal authority to fire a fed governor.

there should be criminal consequences for companies and executives releasing these products when they have such horrific consequences.

we’ve evolved from “move fast and break things” to “move fast and kill people” and the tech billionaires could not care less.

Nora + I talk w/ Dr. Daudi Abe about America’s booming biz: ignorance. From slavery rebranded as “involuntary relocation” to PragerU in classrooms, we unpack how power weaponizes confusion. Funny. Terrifying. Necessary.

It's a back-to-school special from In The Meanwhile! In this episode, we talk to education, culture, and race scholar Daudi Abe about the weaponization of ignorance in the US, and what this means for educators, students, and ultimately, our democracy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

@danmcquillan.bsky.social on technofascism. full episode here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-meanwhile/id1820256669?i=1000722062132

This conversation—and @danmcquillan.bsky.social’s work more broadly — is necessary for surviving this AI-infused timeline, particularly for those of us in academia. It has inspired me to organize faculty to resist AI at my institution, and I hope it does the same for you.

This week, a particularly timely conversation with the brilliant @danmcquillan.bsky.social: on the rise of technofascism, and what all of us can do to resist AI’s overreach. A necessary road map for rejecting the broligarchy and decomputing our way to liberation.🔥
