Just heard Tammy Carpenter crushing it on @thedigradio.bsky.social

Seattle, Santa Cruz and Irvine: the book tour for EXTRACTION is coming your way. 5/19 UW-Seattle talk and Elliott Bay books in convo w @mmcntsh.bsky.social 5/20 World Affairs Council- Seattle 5/21 University of California Santa Cruz w/ @itsmccarthy.bsky.social 5/27 @ucisocialecology.bsky.social

This debate between @danieldenvir.bsky.social and Third Way ghoul Jonathan Cowan is a perfect example of why the left is surging nationwide podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Incredibly surreal moment to be on The Dig, and with so many huge and impressive lefty candidates❣️ Democratic socialist candidates nationwide are rising up and offering a real vision for a better world. What if we could afford the things we need? What if we didn’t have to worry?

New Dig interviews w great left-wing candidates running at every level of US politics @abdulelsayed.bsky.social , @justinjpearson.bsky.social, @darializaforny.bsky.social, @oregontammy.bsky.social, @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social, @aparnafordc.bsky.social. More soon! www.thedigradio.com/podcast/prim...

Really interesting explanation of how the two (weak) parties evolved into a Big Money turducken, where fundraising determines one's power within the party, and billionaires outside the party structure can spend on behalf of whoever they want and influence elections and astroturf movements.

If would-be opponents of New Zealand’s fossil capital/corporate puppet regime want to import ideas from America, perhaps they could be informed by these insights on building movements and public power, rather than trying to copy Mamdani’s visual identity on posters.

This is an extraordinary podcast by @danieldenvir.bsky.social featuring Alina Shen and Fahd Ahmed, two leaders in organizing working Asian and South Asian families and communities. thedigradio.com/podcast/orga...

Listening to leaders like these two share their perspectives and techniques is both inspiring and educational. Hearing about the strong tradition of revolutionary activism among some immigrant groups and how they used their organizing skills to protect their community after 9/11 was amazing.

I’ve observed DRUM’s & CAAAV’s work for 25 years — and I’ve witnessed some of their approach in the 2025-2026 juncture. We can learn alot from such inspired organizations — about horizons of possibility — how long-haul hardwork grounding, can meet a momentary opportunity for wider politics.

Great pod about community organizing in NYC and the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social campaign!

Fascinating interview w/ NYC community organizers on the challenges and opportunities created by having a socialist mayor. So impressed by the thoughtful approach to building power for immigrant communities, engaging electoral and community work, and the inside-outside strategy for driving change

New Dig ep is an interview with Fahd Ahmed and Alina Shen, leaders of DRUM and CAAAV—two brilliant organizers leading powerful basebuilding organizations—on how they organize, then electing Zohran mayor, and struggling through the contradictions of governance. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/orga...

Lithium is essential to electrifying transport, but its extraction carries serious environmental and social costs. @triofrancos.bsky.social explains how a more just energy transition could benefit us all. www.loe.org/shows/segmen...

This was so interesting, and the implications are a lot to think about

I spoke to @theguardian.com about a new report on the harms of the critical minerals rush, from @un-water.bsky.social. While the harms are very real, communities aren’t passive victims. They are political protagonists in the struggle for a less extractive economy. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

How the disorganization of GOP and the disorganization of the US capitalist class have combined to intensify accelerating insanity of US politics. New ep of @thedigradio.bsky.social is fascinating interview w/ Paul Heideman conducted by @micahuetricht.bsky.social www.thedigradio.com/podcast/rogu...

"Should Democrats Appear with Third Way?" is the question politicians should be asking themselves after this debate. Really well done, @danieldenvir.bsky.social.

great discussion between @triofrancos.bsky.social and @meadwaj.bsky.social about what happened to the Green New Deal moment and what underappreciated openings exist in the current often chaotic shift to state capitalism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFHh...

youtu.be/w2oWaAUcMO4?... This stupid debate is over. @danieldenvir.bsky.social a serious investigator and lover of knowledge, someone who exists beyond Hot Takes Pearl Clutching we see on this platform, pretty much handles this perfectly on The Brian Lehrer Show. There, can we please move on now.

This "debate" between Third Way and @danieldenvir.bsky.social on Hasan Piker is really worth listening to. Daniel is incredibly impressive. The back and forth starts at ~ 9:40.

This Cowan guy literally says the single issue that matters to Democrat voters is whether Hasan Piker should be embraced by the party. He also completely refused to respond to the point blank question of whether he denounced Israel's genocide in Gaza. Incredible stuff.

Just debated Third Way’s Jonathan Cowan on the Brian Lehrer Show over fake Hasan controversy. He was broken record, repeating antisemitism/anti-American smears. He couldn’t respond to anything and refused to say whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. www.wnyc.org/story/should...

Ep 3 of Nusantara, @thedigradio.bsky.social series on history of Indonesia: from Japanese conquest of Dutch East Indies through Revolution, launched against Dutch in 1945 after Japan surrender—and quickly beset by conflict between nationalists, Islamists, communists. thedigradio.com/podcast/nusa...

Just knocked out episode 1 while running and was engrossing enough to make me almost forget that I was running that long

Kann mich leider auf nichts konzentrieren außer diesen Namen

We're staring down a brutally hot summer and energy and food shocks and cost of living crisis that climate change intensifies. There's endless money for war. But voters want policies that address the real threats to their security. At @cplusc.bsky.social, our new agenda has the solutions🧵

A tremendous episode: far-reaching, deeply-informed, nuanced and relentlessly insightful and interesting

Such an extraordinary resource and the political education on Arab radicalism, the long reach of western imperialism and the centrality of Palestine that we all need in this conjuncture. The podcast was already monumental - thank you @thedigradio.bsky.social, Abdel Razzaq Takriti & all involved!

I listened to all 40+ hours... it's really, really good

I really can’t overstate how critical the Thawra podcast series was to my understanding of Arab revolutions. It’s already shaped my scholarship and I’ve bookmarked this site for my next projects. Looking forward to transcripts forthcoming and sharing with students

Thawra’s expansive history of the Arab East now includes all materials you need to build an entire course or study group. The West’s violent domination of the region rests upon mystifications that obscure this rich, diverse history of anti-imperialist struggle. Learn it, teach it.

Can’t recommend enough @thedigradio.bsky.social series on Indonesia from Dutch colonialism to present. Amazing how little most Americans know about the 4th largest population center in the world, whose history has been central to changes in the world system over hundreds of years. Links ⬇️

Was great to chat with @meadwaj.bsky.social @macrodosepod.bsky.social about the energy transition, resource extraction, capitalism, global north-south inequality & Left strategy amid the polycrisis that accelerates daily. In collab with @alameda.institute. Listen podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Episode 2!

As someone playing catch up on the history of colonialism and uneven development in Indonesia, this Dig episode is a godsend 👏🙏 thedigradio.com/podcast/nusa...

What an incredible opportunity to have access to this type of learning! And directly through one our political movement’s top creative podcasts. It seems to me Dan and his team worked their asses off to be ready for this series I know that multiple of my best political friends are also listening!

The Dig is taking its party operation on the road...and throwing more parties! Join me in Seattle on May 20 with @houseourneighbors.bsky.social at Stoup Brewing. Join us in Los Angeles on May 26 with @dsa.la and @ndlon.bsky.social at Audio Graph Beer Co. Rsvp at the links below!

Don't agree with everything here but if you want a real, thoughtful answer on why the US doesn't have a big anti-war movement this is a good place to start.

Episode 2 of Nusantara, our @thedigradio.bsky.social series on history of Indonesia. This ep traces first four decades of 20th century, the Awakening Period that made modern Indonesian politics, including its three main currents: communism, nationalism, and Islam. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/nusa...

These countries aren’t destined to become mining frontiers. They’re shaped by economic choices - and those choices can change. @meadwaj.bsky.social meets @triofrancos.bsky.social to unpack what green capitalism reveals about a world "after order" @alameda.institute Full episode at the link in bio

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

It took me a few days to listen to this whole episode, but what an incredibly comprehensive discussion! Especially on sanctions, incentives for green transition, and how all this may push the decline of the dollar as the reserve currency

so so good. everyone says so for good reason

For @thenation.com I wrote about antisemitism smears against Hasan Piker, an attempt to protect both Israel and Dem establishment from legitimate criticism. The fake antisemitism outrage machine, however, no longer shuts up the left—it empowers the far right www.thenation.com/article/poli...

what a balm in these times. the scale of the losses and the scope of the challenges are daunting, but we need clear eyes to address them

This is by far the best discussion on the war on Iran I’ve heard or read. All participants are so informative, so eloquent, the scope of the conversation so wide-ranging. Absolutely essential listening.

This is really a great discussion on Iran and the way the US has handled enemy states even when not at “war” with them and how that shapes how those states respond. Too much to summarize but really informative!

This is called “strategic defeat.” You have ended up in a worse position than before you began, with your adversary, while battered, emerging in a stronger position than before.

Listening to the new @thedigradio.bsky.social episode on imperial myopia
