"The premise of our laws is that the fortunes of the people shouldn't be dependent on the whim, the caprice, or the emotional stability of a few self-appointed men. And yet our privacy, healthcare, agriculture, all is." @ZephyrTeachout coming out swinging on our latest episode!
"A monopoly is a mini-dictator over an industry. And if you have enough mini-dictators over industries, then you stop living in a free society." @matthewstoller explains why monopolies aren't just an economic problem -- they're an alternative and antidemocratic political system.
New episode with @davidsirota! You may have noticed that corruption is legal. It almost feels natural. But that’s horseshit, according to David, who joined us to explain how we got here and how, for the love of all that’s good, we can claw our way out.

Sure, you could listen to The Daily ask inane questions like “Is China Winning the AI Race?” Or you could listen to @FightFascismPod, where we ask, winning the race against whom? Because we’re not talking about America winning any races. We’re talking about multinational corporations that have zero regard for America’s national interests. I don’t trust the government of China, but why the fuck should we trust Sam Altman and Elon Musk any more?
New episode! We spoke with @sarahbmyers, who laid out why AI, as it's currently structured, is all about the consolidation of power among a handful of oligarchs, BUT ALSO why that's not how it needs to be. Down with the AI overlords, up with the people!

"Most of the abundance bros seem not to understand housing finance at all. They're so fixated on an anti-regulatory tirade, which raises suspicions about who they're fighting for."

"If we have a chance, it lives in the tenant union." This week, tenant union organizer @taraghuveer joined us to explain why tenant unions may be the key to fighting fascism This is legit our favorite episode so far. Seriously, listen to Tara right now.

On our latest episode, tenant union organizer @taraghuveer -- who knows much, much more about housing policy and development dynamics than any of us -- lays out in extremely definitive terms what the abundance bros get wrong about housing.
"The idea that all we need to do is build more housing -- that's actually not rooted in reality. If you look at the numbers, there's no world in which we could build enough housing over the next 5 or 10 years at a pace fast enough to keep up with the loss of housing that's affordable to people as landlords hike the rent. Any thinking person understands that there is no simple solution for a problem that's this complex. It's a question of priority and sequence. The rent is too damn high today, and that's because the market is completely unregulated, it's the Wild West. The first thing we need to do is regulate the market. And then we need to think about supply -- and specifically, supply of housing that people can actually afford to live in."

New episode is out! We spoke with New Deal historian Eric Rauchway about how it's not a coincidence that the most successful Democrat in US history was also the guy who said, "They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred."

Just listened to this episode of the new “Fighting Fascism” podcast (@FightFascismPod) covering the whole of Zionism’s responsibility for the current upsurge of antisemitism, with the great @DavidKlion holding forth eruditically as per usual. The best I’ve heard on the topic.
