Wrote about the role of MLMs in the history of the conservative movement, and how it relates to the current crypto market https://t.co/lxBAgSdTr3

[johnknefel @johnknefel]

Obviously the main thing is to condemn Russia's monstrous actions, but I also don't love some of the rhetoric around NATO finding a new "unity of purpose." https://t.co/JMgwzJS6Lv

[johnknefel @johnknefel]

New free substack: I wrote about the potential Congressional ban on stock trading, and the deeper class conflict that lies beneath the more obvious conflict of interest issues https://t.co/f9NyQJs88o

[johnknefel @johnknefel]

New free post: I wrote about the parallels between anti-CRT and anti-communism, which was always profoundly racist. Included a round up of the latest anti-CRT bills and rhetoric that are explicitly anti-communist (there is a lot!) https://t.co/ZE2UXVro6z

New free substack post. Climate change isn't "our" fault. When someone says "we've wasted 30 years," they're obscuring who and what is actually to blame. Let's talk about the Capitalocene, baby! https://t.co/OukFaqKAjR

[johnknefel @johnknefel]

New post: I wrote about the similarities between Stand Your Ground laws and the US military's use of self-defense strikes, and who can weaponize their claims of reasonable fear https://t.co/70huA1xF6M

[johnknefel @johnknefel]

New from me: You can't go a day without hearing about the sorry state of US democracy. Unless we're also talking about capitalism, we're missing the point. https://t.co/UYkA8yh7lj

[johnknefel @johnknefel]

New free substack post looking at the history of rightwing anti-abortion violence and the role it's played in paving the way for legal challenges to Roe https://t.co/t9lEGaVlAO

Some personal news: I am temporarily (I hope) out of a job, as the show I was working on is on hiatus.

So with great ambivalence - against both common sense & popular demand - I started a substack. First post is here. Plz read & donate if you can https://t.co/eX1COhlMih

We have mp3 backups of all our archives, but they're no longer available through our old company's website. We'd like to make them available again at some point in the future, but we'll need to figure the best way to do that.

[Radio Dispatch @Radio_Dispatch]

Hi everybody. Been a while since we tweeted from this account. Unfortunately, the occasion is a sad one. We just learned that the company we work for is shutting down immediately, which was very unexpected. For now at least, the show is going dark.

[Radio Dispatch @Radio_Dispatch]

Thank you all for 11 years of allowing us to do exactly the kind of show we wanted. We don't know what's next for us, but it'll be something. We had the most amazing listeners, guests, and community. We'll figure out some way to keep it going in the future.

@rowmyboat it's a huge bummer

[Radio Dispatch @Radio_Dispatch]

On today’s show we talk with @sarahljaffe about Brexit and the CTU and GM strikes. Also anti capitalist witches. Happy Halloween! https://t.co/RIgEv5vMWK

Great interview with @lantzarroyo, one of our co-owners on @Radio_Dispatch! Give it a listen for some Radix Media history and fun coop facts. #cooperatives https://t.co/bE08hnlHgq

[Radio Dispatch @Radio_Dispatch]

Also: a quick programming note. We'll be on hiatus (our first ever) until October 1, when we'll be back with all new shows. See you then!
