This week, Pat and Tim are guestless and ill, but stoked nonetheless as a self-proclaimed socialist takes the dem nomination in the New York mayoral elections. We talk about what the DSA is in 2025, how it has outgrown its own grad-student-podcast nexus, and what we can learn from the movement in Australia. We also talk about the importance of white genocide, Trump’s dropping of F and other bombs, Israel doing aid truck flour massacres in their spare time, and Aunty trying to bribe her staff not do industrial action. Thanks as always to the saint Dan Dare in his intercession with the tech gods.
