This episode spots the sludge -- every day fictions that block help and information. Recent reports of U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats require us to questions the legal, ethical, and political justifications. The pressure points around Thanksgiving travel, retail spin, and who pays the price during holiday logistics cannot be ignored this week, either.
Word of the Week [2:29]: Sludge: Ever get so frustrated by endless phone menus, dropped calls, and that "unusually high call volume" refrain? Welp, that sludge is by design.
Phase 1 [12:39]: Boat Strikes: Reports of at least 20 strikes across the Caribbean and Pacific waters mention ~80 individuals k*lled and 2 known survivors. The justification of "non-international armed conflict" should all raise a brow given its parameters and how abnormal this is in the realm of human rights and lethal force at sea.
Phase 2 [27:08]: Thanks is Giving...Spin: Air traffic controller strains continue, which then lead to other transportation systems being taxed. Retail is being spun as a win, instead of a loss, given that Thanksgiving meals are NOT cheaper in comparison to last year. This holiday season will shift more burdens on households that are already stretched thin.

In this episode, we explore the concept of Surplus Powerlessness -- the internalized belief that we are more powerless than we truly are. Drawing from Michael Lerner's 1991 book of the same name, we focus on how narratives, society, and personal trauma convince people they lack agency.
Phase 1 – No ICE, Please: The Drs discuss the ongoing court cases against !CE and National Guard deployment following the OBBBA which made them the largest and most well-funded federal law enforcement agency in U.S. history.
Phase 2 – Getting Things Done: Dr. Gold has been noticing the doers of society on social media. Folks like Kiki Rough, Perfecto Pat, Genny Mack and Danny Clarke take us back to our roots (literally and figuratively) as we remember -- and sometimes learn for the first time -- how to survive. Cooking cheap meals, baking from scratch for neighbors and the community, and gardening -- even down to creating healing tinctures out of corn silks highlight how we can reclaim our productive power in challenging times.
