This week:

It's our 100th episode! In honor of that, we're taking a look at the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution – and more importantly, taking a look at the parallels so that we might learn from history rather than repeat it.

Next up, the difference between a strike and a day off and finally Kamau Franklin and the call to be ungovernable.

This week:

And furthermore, are the horrendous happenings in the Trump administration unique to him – or are they just part of a long tradition of fear, hate, greed and injustice?

And finally, Medea Benjamin sits down with us to talk Saudi Arabia and our twisted ties to this unjust kingdom.
