Tell Iranian And Cuban Diaspora Warmongers To Shut The Fuck Up Feb 22, 2026

Show notes

Whenever you say anything online opposing the way the US is preparing for war with Iran or strangling Cuba to death with siege warfare, you’ll always get people whose family comes from the nation in question telling you to be silent and support the US war machine. Their family emigrated at some point because they didn’t like the government, so now they spend their time on social media telling everyone to support US operations to topple that government. The correct response to such people is “Shut the fuck up.” Reading by Tim Foley.

Our Leaders Couldn't Fix Our Problems If They Wanted To (And They Don't Want To) Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

Our leaders are not wise or insightful. They're not even particularly intelligent. Our society is led by plutocrats who only know how to make more money, by unelected empire managers who only know how to dominate and control, and by elected politicians who only know how to say the right words and make the right bargains in order to get themselves elected.
