Rest in Power Mom, October 7th, and More

We begin our show with some words on grief, bereavement capitalism, and how Andy's mom laid out the foundation for us calling out the BS week after week.

 

The WMU AAUP has reached an agreement with the university after weeks of tenacious organizing, and we look at an article from LeftVoice about the increasingly authoritarian tenor from the University of Michigan administration.

 

We spend most of the rest of the show discussing the anniversary of October 7th, a year of genocidal carnage, the innate biases of western media, and what the complicity of the U.S. empire in recent escalations.

 

We close with an article linking climate change with the monstrous Hurricane Milton.
