19 MAY 2025 · The climate crisis is not just a climate crisis—it is a planetary crisis threatening the very continuation of life and civilization as we know it. If humanity continues to lolligag its way to an apocalyptic future without drastically addressing this planetary crisis, “We are ensuring at best abominable lives for ourselves and our children,” https://x.com/BigMeanInternet writes in his new book https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/malcolm-harris/whats-left/9780316577434/. But, Harris continues, “I refuse to believe that we have no alternative to the universal human project's erosion into parochial barbarism and petty domination. That is an unacceptable outcome, and its giant advancing outline visible through the mist of the near future compels immediate radical action.” In this podcast, recorded at https://redemmas.org/ in Baltimore on April 29, 2025, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Harris about his new book and about three practical paths humanity can take to save itself from apocalypse.

19 MAY 2025 · Private companies and state governments have long exploited the 13th Amendment to create a profitable agribusiness system that runs on prison slave labor. “If you look at the history of agriculture in the United States, it’s built on dispossession, it’s built on enslavement,” says https://joshuasbicca.com/, director of the https://prisonagriculture.com/, and the legacy of that violence lives on in the big business of “agricarceral” farming today. In this episode of https://therealnews.com/rattling-the-bars, host and former political prisoner Mansa Musa speaks with Sbicca about the prisoners farming our food, the parties profiting from their exploitation, and the ongoing fight to uphold the basic rights and dignity of incarcerated workers.

16 MAY 2025 · Augusto Sandino. The man who would lead the six-year rebellion against the US occupation of Nicaragua. The man who would become a legend across the country and also far from the shores of Central America.
The United States called him a bandit. Much of Latin America called him a hero. Augusto Sandino was one of the world’s first anti-imperialist heroes of the 20th century. His story and his resistance against the US occupation of Nicaragua is still the stuff of legends.

15 MAY 2025 · “Labor’s decline over the past half century has devastated working-class communities, undermined democracy, and deepened the grip of big business over our work lives, our
political system, and our planet,” Eric Blanc writes in his new book, https://www.ucpress.edu/books/we-are-the-union/paper. “To turn this around, we need tens of millions more people forming, joining, and transforming unions”; however, to achieve that level of growth, “a new unionization model is necessary because the only way to build power at scale is by relying less on paid full-timers and more on workers.” In this episode of Working People, recorded at Red Emma’s Cooperative Bookstore in Baltimore on March 27, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Blanc about his book and how worker-to-worker organizing campaigns at companies like Starbucks and Amazon are breathing life back into the labor movement.
Eric Blanc is Assistant Professor of Labor Studies at Rutgers University, an organizer trainer in the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, author of Red State Revolt: The Teachers' Strike Wave and Working-Class Politics, and director of the Worker to Worker Collaborative.

13 MAY 2025 · At the 2025 National Membership Meeting of https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ in Baltimore, MD, thousands of anti-Zionist Jews gathered to reaffirm their opposition to Israel’s occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians—and to reject the antisemitic notion that the political ideology of Zionism represents all Jews. In this vital and wide-ranging discussion recorded during the JVP gathering in Baltimore, TRNN’s Marc Steiner sits down with self-identified Palestinian Jews Esther Farmer and Ariella Aïsha Azoulay to discuss the complexities of Jewish identity and belonging today, the historical origins of Israel, and “the way that Zionism destroyed both Palestine and the diverse modes of Jewish life” that predate and reject the Zionist project.
https://cargocollective.com/ariellaazoulay is a Palestinian Jew of African origins, film essayist, curator, and professor of modern culture and comparative literature at Brown University. She is the author of numerous books, including: https://www.versobooks.com/products/857-potential-history?srsltid=AfmBOor8yiz24CHLvuvEOTZiHMp_vxyOQnko2Pu_JQ0tMtuyxOVHhVnq; https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9781890951894/the-civil-contract-of-photography?srsltid=AfmBOoqBZ0VCv6zobaHtXmTZAOog1_psXXCNzMLYV8W_hX_yof1MruTr; and https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745331690/from-palestine-to-israel/.
Esther Farmer is a Palestinian Jew and native Brooklynite passionate about using theater as a tool for community development. She is former Ombudsman and Manager for the New York City Housing Authority, former United Nations representative for the International Association for Community Development and was an original founder of Teamsters for a Democratic Union. She is also a Jewish Voice for Peace NYC chapter leader and the director and playwright of “https://dixonplace.org/performances/wrestling-with-zionism-a-readers-theater/.”
