NEW Professional Left Podcast Episode 972 traces the through-line from Michele Bachmann's 2011 lies (pretending the Great Recession never happened) to Trump's 2026 lies (pretending away ICE murders & Epstein files). https://www.buzzsprout.com/229/episodes/18759003

New #Knitting podcast - What I've finished and am still knitting in February 2026 - plus a blanket KAL for Lent. And some thoughts on the sacred space needles make for yarn.

Fact-checkers brought data to a culture war. They lost.
Episode 971: Why the only thing that beats Republican lies is better stories. Plus, why centrist pundits are melting down now that "hysterical resistance libs" were right about fascism all along.

MSM keeps checking the fridge for Republican integrity, honesty, and accountability. Spoiler: It's been empty for decades. The GOP restocked it with fascism, lies, and Stephen Miller's creepy Nazi face.

New ep! We tackle the slipperiest words in politics: "the American people," "the voters," "the public."
Who do these phrases actually include? Who gets left out? And why does everyone from Lincoln to Mike Johnson fight so hard to claim they speak for them?

NEW Proleft Podcast Ep! Democrats can't reach "the center." Because every time they try, the media shifts the goalposts to keep Both Sides looking equally bad. Meanwhile, Trump never moderated his fascism once and "won" anyway? https://www.buzzsprout.com/229/episodes/18633715

NEW ProLeftPod episode 966: The media's "Both Sides" lie is the rotting corpse they've been hiding *in their beds* for decades. But Minneapolis resists, and one brave judge compares ICE to King George's tyranny.

Republicans are already rehearsing their "I was never MAGA" speeches. The amnesia machine is warming up. Trump's rigging the midterms while the media prepares its "both sides" framing. We will not forget. We will not forgive. Relentless pressure is the only answer.

NEW Proleft Podcast Episode 964:
This isn't murder. It's lynching. Alex Pretti and Renee Good were killed by Trump's thugs who walked free. No national awakening is coming. Only relentless pressure will stop this fascism. We cannot—we will not—forget.

New episode! We break down the St. Paul church protest against an ICE official masquerading as a pastor, dissect Trump's unhinged Davos meltdown, and explain why DOJ arresting peaceful protesters while ignoring ICE violence is textbook fascism. https://www.buzzsprout.com/229/episodes/18556309

Are Republican base voters too tired to rebrand? Meanwhile, corporate media calls appeasement "Courageous Centrism," & Trump writes unhinged letters demanding Nobel Prizes. And today's resistance isn't breaking—it's growing. Ep 962: https://www.buzzsprout.com/229/episodes/18544659

New Professional Left! Why is Trump's regime doubling down on lies about Renee Good's murder & flooding Minneapolis with ICE thugs? How decades of right-wing conspiracy theories are being "actualized"—and why downballot GOP are trapped. Plus personal news. Listen: https://www.buzzsprout.com/229/episodes/18517389
