The news corporate media won't touch, stories from the front lines of our movements to fight and build and just a dash of spoken word, visual art and snark. Blend and enjoy.

A special episode dedicated to the past that built our present that'll dictate our future. We take a brief look at the upcoming bicentenary of Karl Marx's birthday and then we dive deep into May 1st – International Worker's Day.

We sit down with Alka Mysore of IWW and Socialist Alternative to hear about the historic cover-ups, the importance of recognizing May Day and the path ahead.

Next up, you may know that Zuck appeared before Congress last week but did you know that what he REALLY did was appear before his employees?

And Orwell's got nothing on the DHS and their new media list.

Finally, Dr. Harriet Fraad joins us to dive into the psychology of the system – from what she calls the “dethronement of white men” to the effects of patriarchy on our mental health.

Next up, everyone that comes into contact with our healthcare – or rather sick care system – knows it's broken, or rather – it's fixed. We highlight the easy solution and the difficult path to getting everyone the care that they need, no strings attached.
