Jamie and Sam speak with Nico and Pepe, two comrades in Italy, about the protests and riots that are currently spreading across Europe. What is the context for these protests in Italy and what has the youth feeling so disaffected? How state repression has only served to fan the flames. The connections between what's happening in France, Italy, Albania, and elsewhere. The political content of riots and/or lack thereof. Jamie reads a statement from the Invisible Committee. Plus, our guests give some feedback on our advocacy for Luigi. Party Girls listeners can read Jamie's forthcoming article on Luigi IN PRINT in the November edition of Current Affairs if they subscribe between now and October 31st!

Surveillance tech enables the Trump administration's ICE and Border Patrol agents to target, harass, kidnap and kill innocent human beings, Jamie and Sam speak to two organizers trying to do something about it. In Vermont from Oct 4-10 there will be a week of bold, creative action to end ICE surveillance, targeting, and separation. The week of action comes as ICE/CBP shot another person, this time in Texas.

The Party Girls crew tackles major news of the day, including: Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and the sea change happening re: support for a free Palestine in American pop culture. The Houthis seize strategic Red Sea islands as analysts warn of impending oil crunch. What to make of the impending AI apocalypse.

We’re in some real end times shit, man. In this week's episode, Sam steers the ship by himself in his first solo news episode. He analyzes the accelerating timeline of state repression and the evolving terrain of grassroots resistance. First, we look at the sudden shutdown of Noblogs and the Autistici/Inventati collective following a swift U.S. terrorism designation that dismantled 25 years of digital movement infrastructure in just 11 days. Then, we travel to the San Rafael Valley border blockade, where the Tierra Libre autonomous commune has held the line for six weeks against rapid wall construction enabled by the sweeping legal waivers and limitless monetary backing by the Trump admin. Finally, we break down the tactical evolution of a massive far-right black bloc in England and examine the bleak reality of global climate diplomacy after a new UN report officially conceded the death of the 1.5°C warming target.

As Sam tries to get back in the swing of things as a podcaster again, the Party Girls team explores some of their favorite topics. Luigi Mangione acted alone, what does that say about our society? Is Medicare for All worth fighting for? As some liberals like to insist, does he actually have anything in common with the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin? Why do leftists project their politics onto the pointedly apolitical Dolly Parton (Rest in Power?) And finally, no PG episode would be complete without Sam rambling about extreme weather and the American Southwest.

Sam is back from his three-month-long trip through Asia and Europe just in time to discuss Luigi Mangione's guilty plea. Sam and Jamie provide their analysis of what they think happened and unpack their thoughts. What has this trial revealed about the mindset of Americans, and what needs to happen next in order to honor Luigi's sacrifice and deliver on the right to health that we all know we have? The legal fundraiser for Luigi will continue.

Friend of the pod and veteran of the posting wars Sophie Weiner joins us to discuss the latest round of wokeness discourse touched off by AOC in her recent interview with ABC in which, in grand ableist fashion, she declared Woke 1 to have been "crazy." Mass protests against racist police violence, silly tweets, and other things people stupidly conflate when they talk about Woke 1. What is actually good about being woke, and what should be left in the past? The need to defend police and prison abolition as core tenets of communist thought. Plus, Jamie's thoughts on why revolutionaries and DSA should both stay in their lanes.

Jamie speaks with Tom Sexton and Tarence Ray, of the Trillbilly Workers Party podcast, on a variety of subjects, including AI pastors, JOI vids, wildfire prediction markets, Sam Altman's beliefs on the future of work, the Singularity, and the Israeli prison that had to scrap its plans for a crocodile moat over animal welfare concerns.

Hear about his escapades as he visits Buddhist temples, tropical Islands and the densest urban neighborhood on planet earth. Deep in the jungle of Southern Thailand, what are the karaoke bars like? Did Sam end up visiting the Great Wall of China? Did the Communist Party of China's propaganda museum work on him? And what does Sam hope he can learn from Buddhist tendencies from the other side of the world? All of this and more on this week's special, informal episode. Sam says he misses the Party Girls family very much and will be back in August!

Jamie gets some of the LA gang (Jake Flores, Lena NW) back together to talk about writer/director Curry Barker's runaway hit 'Obsession,' in which an incel dude makes a wish that violates his female friend's consent. What's going on with young people today such that this movie is speaking to them so deeply? Is it something new, or the same old horror? And what does any of this have to do with Luigi Mangione? The gang expounds.

Women over 40 are having more babies than teenagers for the first time in US history, for both good and bad reasons. The cyclospora outbreak is ruining summer for salad people. Heroes are tracking and disabling Flock surveillance cameras in cities across the country. Haha, Lindsey Graham died and now we get to hear his gay sex secrets. What's up with those gross kratom drinks they sell at the gas station? Plus: Maxelle talks about her mom.
