Party Girls

<p>Friend of the show Sophie Weiner joins Jamie for a hybrid Cultural Marxism/news ep. Up top: the new musical &quot;Cats: the Jellicle Ball&quot; (it's good), the latest attempt to assassinate Trump (if we can even call it that) and the battle to free the Park Slope Food Coop from Zionist control (the anti-Zionists won!).</p> <p>In the second half we discuss Boots Riley's new film &quot;I Love Boosters,&quot; an eye-popping tale of shoplifting, teleportation, union drives, dialectics, and...a demon who sucks your soul out through your pussy? It do be like that sometimes. Boots Riley, come on Party Girls.</p> <p>Sophie's Joanna Newsom for President merch: <a href="https://joannanewsom2028.myshopify.com/">https://joannanewsom2028.myshopify.com/</a></p> <p>Sophie's substack: <a href="https://insidetheripple.substack.com/">https://insidetheripple.substack.com/</a></p> <p>Sophie's mental health podcast, Self Conscious: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0KDssW5H6qh3NMK6nuSCJY">https://open.spotify.com/show/0KDssW5H6qh3NMK6nuSCJY</a></p> <p>Come see Jamie do stand-up comedy on June 3rd alongside friend-of-the-pod Fellatia G at Rose's R&amp;R Bar in Brooklyn!

<p>It's Sam's last episode for three whole months! To see him off on his backpacking trip through Asia and Europe, the PG crew covers some good news, like the Luigi Mangione legal fund hitting $1.5 million [Jamie already talked about this with Tony, but she forgot], Idris Robinson getting his job back, and Green Scare victim Marius Mason's release from prison. In other backpack-related news, some of the evidence collected from Luigi's backpack will be suppressed while two key pieces, the gun and the notebook, will not be. We go over the shadiness of the missing bodycam footage. The crew also discuss Sam's reasons for taking a break from the internet and Jamie's missed connection, and Jamie wishes Sam a happy birthday.

<p>Sam is joined by Eric King, an anarchist writer, antifascist organizer, and former federal prisoner whose new memoir, A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America’s Most Notorious Dungeon, offers a firsthand account of incarceration inside some of the most restrictive prisons in the United States, including ADX Florence, Alcatraz of the rockies, the federal supermax sometimes described as the most secure prison in the world.</p> <p>Eric, like many, was further radicalized during the Ferguson Rebellion in 2014, and since that time has devoted his life to abolitionism. On this week’s episode Sam and Eric talk life inside, and how the relationships we build across prison walls serve as a lifeline for those the State is trying to make disappear. How does prisoner support work, do you have any excuse not to be doing it? How does the disposability culture peddled by prison wardens show up in our social movements and communities? How do we win? All this in more in this week’s Party Girls.</p> <p>Want to get started doing prisoner support?</p> <p>Write a letter to:</p> <p>Greg Curry #A213159</p> <p>884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road</p> <p>Youngstown, Ohio 44505</p> <p>Order A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America’s Most Notorious Dungeon HERE: <a href="https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&amp;p=1872">https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&amp;p=1872</a></p> <p>SIGN UP NOW at <a href="https://patreon.com/partygirls">https://patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get all of our bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!</p> <p>Follow us on ALL the Socials:</p> <p>Instagram: @party.girls.pod</p> <p>TikTok: @party.girls.pod</p> <p>Twitter: @partygirlspod</p> <p>BlueSky: @partygirls.bsky.social</p> <p>Leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you feel so inclined: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1577239978">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1577239978</a></p> <p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/71ESqg33NRlEPmDxjbg4rO">https://open.spotify.com/show/71ESqg33NRlEPmDxjbg4rO</a></p> <p>Executive Producer: Andrew Callaway</p> <p>Producers: Ryan M., Jon B</p>

<p>Jamie and guest cohost Tony Boswell look back on the life of Ben Morea, a towering yet humble figure on the anarchist left. From his days of causing trouble with Black Mask and Up Against The Wall Motherfucker in the late 1960s, to decades spent living underground in the American southwest, to his return to New York in the post-2000 era, his contributions will not soon be forgotten.</p> <p>The second half is a classic Tony and Jamie messaround, with such important news items as: Luigi Mangione legal fund hits $1.5 million, United Healthcare drops pre-authorization requirements by 30%, Chris Smalls gets arrested for protesting at the Met Gala, and a secret service agent gets arrested for jerking off in a hotel hallway.</p> <p>Check out Tony's new podcast, WordIsBondTV: <a href="https://WordIsBondTV.com">WordIsBondTV.com</a></p> <p>Buy Ben Morea's recent book, 'Full Circle: A Life In Rebellion': <a href="https://detritusbooks.com/products/full-circle-a-life-in-rebellion-ben-morea">https://detritusbooks.com/products/full-circle-a-life-in-rebellion-ben-morea</a></p> <p>Check out these very cool interviews with Ben Morea:</p> <p><a href="https://illwill.com/the-ultimate-dilemma">https://illwill.com/the-ultimate-dilemma</a></p> <p><a href="https://illwill.com/pancho-villa-syndrome">https://illwill.com/pancho-villa-syndrome</a></p> <p>SIGN UP NOW at <a href="https://patreon.com/partygirls">https://patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get all of our bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!</p> <p>Follow us on ALL the Socials:</p> <p>Instagram: @party.girls.pod</p> <p>TikTok: @party.girls.pod</p> <p>Twitter: @partygirlspod</p> <p>BlueSky: @partygirls.bsky.social</p> <p>Leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you feel so inclined: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1577239978">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1577239978</a></p> <p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/71ESqg33NRlEPmDxjbg4rO">https://open.spotify.com/show/71ESqg33NRlEPmDxjbg4rO</a></p> <p>Executive Producer: Andrew Callaway</p> <p>Producers: Ryan M., Jon B</p>

<p>The Iranian regime has mobilized the language of “anti-imperialism” in an effort to crush leftist movements, as well as worker and student struggles for decades now. Dr. Arya Zahedi joins the PG team to discuss Iranian-leftist history, the revolution, idealism, and what is to be done. In this episode we talk about a text called <em>The Anti-Imperialist Imperialism Club: On Left Internationalism and Iran</em>, which can be found in Heatwave Magazine Issue two.</p> <p><em>“Despite the anti-imperialist demagoguery, the Islamic Republic has always been willing to be integrated into the international bourgeois community. The idea that the United States is intransigent in its opposition to the Islamic Republic, and vice versa-that the current Iranian regime is intransigent in its “resistance”-is the stuff of comic books and bad spy movies. Iran has a bourgeoisie, and like all bourgeoisies, it is first and foremost concerned with preserving its interests; this supersedes ideological loyalty to any political power. … Decades of IMF restructuring, liberalization, and austerity have demonstrated the current Iranian administration’s desire to join the global economic order. The capitalist class will work to preserve its interests, perhaps even jettison their fealty to the current regime if it suits them. To suggest otherwise is pure idealism.”</em></p> <p><a href="https://heatwavemag.info/magazine/issue02/anti-imperialist-imperialism-club/">https://heatwavemag.info/magazine/issue02/anti-imperialist-imperialism-club/</a></p> <p>SIGN UP NOW at <a href="https://patreon.com/partygirls">https://patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get all of our bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!</p> <p>Follow us on ALL the Socials:</p> <p>Instagram: @party.girls.pod</p> <p>TikTok: @party.girls.pod</p> <p>Twitter: @partygirlspod</p> <p>BlueSky: @partygirls.bsky.social</p> <p>Leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you feel so inclined: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1577239978">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1577239978</a></p> <p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/71ESqg33NRlEPmDxjbg4rO">https://open.spotify.com/show/71ESqg33NRlEPmDxjbg4rO</a></p> <p>Executive Producer: Andrew Callaway</p> <p>Producers: Ryan M., Jon B</p>
