The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (TL606) 02/12/2026

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (TL606) Bad Bunny’s slam dunk win for the culture, Pam Blondie’s impeachable performance before House Oversight, and ICE takes its Gestapo act from the streets into the halls Congress. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40081530

It Can’t Be Tamed (TL605) 02/09/2026

It Can’t Be Tamed (TL605) The regime’s cruelty isn’t a glitch, it’s the system working as designed. Democratic politicians and corporate media talking heads tell us to “stand up and fight back,” but refuse to dismantle the systems that breed white supremacy and capitalist power. Real democracy can’t coexist with profit and control. Abolitionist social anarchy is the only path to collective liberation. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40033935

Normalize the Resistance (TL604) 02/04/2026

Normalize the Resistance (TL604) The Regime’s brazen new moves to rig elections and the everyday acts you can do to put yourself on the (very obvious) right side of history. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40000200

Relentless Regime (TL603) 02/02/2026

Relentless Regime (TL603) Rigging the midterms, searching for needles in the Epstein haystack, advocacy journalism challenged, and it’s time for the resistance to broaden our scope – and sharpen our demands. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39948100

Keep America Weird (TL602) 01/29/2026

Keep America Weird (TL602) The regime is building a techno-fascist surveillance state with you as a consumer cog. Join the dreamers and malcontents while there’s still time to defeat the despots and build a better world. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39915570

Abuses and Usurpations (TL601) 01/25/2026

Abuses and Usurpations (TL601) American Fascism takes its show on the road with its Hitleresque board of “peace.” Then, terrorizing an entire city, Secret Police Jackboots conduct another brutal public execution. Abolish ICE/CBP. End the Regime. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39867145

The Trump Whisperers (TL600) 01/22/2026

Stand Up, Shut Down! (TL599) 01/19/2026

Stand Up, Shut Down! (TL599) We cannot match their violence (nor should we try) but neither can we defeat the Regime with so-called “peaceful” protest. Also, normalizing state thuggery and the Venezuela fiasco. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39773400

Heroes and Villains (TL598) 01/14/2026

Heroes and Villains (TL598) The brave and righteous Twin Cities are showing the way! Find resistance training in your town. Also, the Regime triples down on racism and chaos. And, WTF is with the RFK food pyramid? /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39734950

The Moment is Now, Again (TL597) 01/12/2026

The Moment is Now, Again (TL597) America’s unbridled fascism must be stopped. The problem: the only alternative offered is the outdated and exploitative “postwar rules-based order.” There is a third option. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39685145

Another State Murder (TL596) 01/08/2026

Another State Murder (TL596) Old school imperialism, taking the lessons of Jan 6 forward, and a killing cold as ICE. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39654040

Hope, Despair, and Bluster (TL595) 01/05/2026

Hope, Despair, and Bluster (TL595) Mamdani takes the oath and the reins, Regime racism and Israeli brutality continue unabated, and Venezuela marks a renewed U.S. hegemony. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39601075

Happy Holidays (TL593) 12/22/2025

Happy Holidays (TL593) A look at the many holidays around the globe from ancient traditions to modern takes on the winter party, including mischievous (even dark) characters, and irreverent (even subversive) customs of role-reversal and debt relief. Just what we need. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39415990

Silence The Menace (TL592) 12/18/2025

Silence The Menace (TL592) Vanity Fair stands out among dismal Regime media. Murder week on the high seas, in Hollywood, an Australian beach, and a college campus. Medicare for all, and good elections news. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39449340

In Spite of Themselves (TL591) 12/15/2025

In Spite of Themselves (TL591) It’s campaign season again and Democrats are going to win big – for all the wrong reasons. Legacy media discovers mutual aid, recommended anarchist reading, and some good news: we’re not dead yet! /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39396920

Obstructed Democracy (TL590) 12/11/2025

Obstructed Democracy (TL590) Abandoning Ukraine and Gaza, a looming U.S. State Media, SCOTUS builds a dictator, American democracy deemed “obstructed,” and are YOU a terrorist? /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39363005

We’re Doing It Wrong (TL589) A monologue of political, cultural, and media criticism from a social-anarchist/abolitionist perspective. This episode: Person of the Year, political violence, The Regime's authoritarian-racist foreign doctrine, and more. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39313020

To Be Frank (TL588) 12/04/2025

To Be Frank (TL588) MAGA has no doubt scored wins, but it’s not particularly smart, it’s not original, it’s not even real. Also, thoughts on the DC shooter aftermath, Hegseth’s debacles, and a tribute to the great Frank Skillman. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39263935

People Over Profit (TL587) 12/01/2025

People Over Profit (TL587) Strikes and boycotts needed to bring down the Regime will require shared pain and sacrifice. Mutual Aid can not only protect us while we fight, but ultimately create a new model for when we win. And we can start right now. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39077475

Remove The Regime (TL586) 11/26/2025

Remove The Regime (TL586) Don’t give up on impeachment! There are (1) dozens of articles to choose from, (2) recent examples proving that public outcry still matters, and (3) several persuadable Congressional Republicans. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39130405

Anarchism Now! (TL585) 11/24/2025

Anarchism Now! (TL585) COP30 fails as the Climate Crisis continues unabated, The Orange Meat Puppet descends into madness, MTG chickens out, MAGA re-calculates, and Musk gets one thing right: the end of money. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39136000

The Good, The Bad, And The Long Game (TL584) 11/20/2025

The Good, The Bad, And The Long Game (TL584) The lesson we must take from recent MAGA setbacks is pressure works so triple down. Also, thoughts at the close of COP30 and we love Miss Piggy! /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39104830

The News Could Be Better (TL583) 11/17/2025

The News Could Be Better (TL583) Every day is Taco Tariff Tuesday, COP30 stymied by old systems while the world burns, Whoville hawks Walmart, and the Epstein files buried under the guise of an active case. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39047880

Welcome To the Fight! (TL582) 11/13/2025

Welcome To the Fight! (TL582) Americans are coming around to the economic blackout, impeachment, and challenging corporate Dems. Sure, they’re bandwagon jumpers, that’s okay! Also: Epstein, wag-the-dog wars, my take on the shutdown cave, and people don’t fly. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39015730

Feeling Down? Join the Resistance. (TL581) 11/10/2025

Feeling Down? Join the Resistance. (TL581) The cruelty and chaos of the Regime appear to be intentional. The good news: we have both the moral high ground and the numbers. All we need is the will to act. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/38965525
