This week, Lance of SerfsTV joined to talk about Senate democrats fawning over the death of Lady Gray, and what it says about how seriously they take Trump’s fascism. Then author and artist Molly Crabapple joins to discuss her new book Here Where We Live Is Our Country, an illustrated look at the Jewish Labor Bund — the secular, socialist, anti-Zionist movement that Zionism has tried to erase.
Lindsey Graham will haunt the United States for years to come. Or come back as a ladybug. *shudders*
This week, Lance of SerfsTV joined to talk about Senate democrats fawning over the death of Lady Gray, and what it says about how seriously they take Trump’s fascism. Then, ICE claims another life in less than a week in Maine. Joan Sebastian Guerrero was 26, Colombian, had a social security number, and could legally work in the US. ICE shot him at least four times while he was in his car and accompanied by his toddler. His last words were reportedly "I tried to stop." According to Senator Angus King, they were looking for someone else. Shut it down.
Plus, more Platner post-mortem as Lance explains why he was always dubious of the candidate. We also discuss the Rep. Ro Khanna’s trip to the West Bank, where he was detained by groups of armed settlers who then called in the IDF. Now Benjamin Netanyahu is calling Khanna a liar, claiming that 99.9% of the settlers are not violent. The illegal settlers, taking land by force, are not violent. Mmmhmm.
Then author and artist Molly Crabapple joins to discuss her new book Here Where We Live Is Our Country, an illustrated look at the Jewish Labor Bund — the secular, socialist, anti-Zionist movement that Zionism has tried to erase.
We discuss how Zionism eclipsed Bundism, how the Bundists were always against the creation of the state of Israel on ethical grounds but also resisted nationalism and the idea that Jews did not belong where they lived.
