When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport. Learn more at www.lbi.org/kollisch . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute , New York | Berlin and Antica Productions . It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producers are Hailey Choi and Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik. Special thanks to the Kollisch family for the use of Eva’s two memoirs, “Girl in Movement” and “The Ground Under My Feet”, the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College and their “Voices of Feminism Oral History Project”, and Soundtrack New York.…

TODAY: we enter EPSTEIN: PHASE ONE and get so excited about the dark secrets probably to be revealed in the sequel that we forget information we previously had. AND: the House GOP dunk on those foolish enough to have believed them about releasing the files with some dank memetic warfare PLUS: Hitting your emo son or daughter--is it good to? The facebook comment section tackles an anti-spanking anthem from a high-minded emo(?) band.

TODAY: We follow the white rabbit into a white girl's def MAGA ascended poetry slam, seeing how deep into mystic-narcissistic-personality-disorder-posing-as-politics the rabbithole takes us Is the journey to political revolution contained within the self? Do you actually have to organize or talk with other people to achieve your political goals? Only if you don't know how to make your own enlightened hats, I suppose. ALSO: We follow up on our reactionary Teamsters segment from last week to talk about another kind of American: the temporarily embarrassed CNBC economist We watch more anti-USPS propaganda make its way into Teamsters facebook groups, with many lamenting the lack of "profit" generated by the national service. What makes working people think this way? Can we break the conditioning that causes wage earners to worship profits?

#691 My daughter feels left out when my husband only takes my son fishing. I do not take her side. 1:33:20

1:33:20

TODAY: Ani joins us to discuss a perplexing dilemma causing vigorous debate online: Do you have to take your daughter fishing even though she's basically a woman and might cramp your style? A mother writes to reddit explaining her daughter no longer wants to spend time with her dad after he refused to take her on a "guys only" fishing trip. Is the daughter really hurt, or is the mother just cheating on her husband? ALSO: We look at Teamsters president Sean O'Brien's recent comments about Right to Work and his support for a labor secretary who defends the anti-union policy. What are teamsters getting out of O'Brien's support for this labor secretary? Is it worth legitimizing the right wing administration? We dredge the depths of Teamster and UPS facebook groups to gauge rank and file reaction to O'Brien's budding relationship with the reactionary forces in Trump's camp and uncover some not-so-convincing arguments for RTW from union members themselves.

TODAY: We give an update on Alex's goo situation and Tony makes the cowardly decision not to get jumped at his bar. ALSO: We join Teamsters president Sean O'Brien in congratulating former UPS and Amazon exec being appointed to OSHA. Why is a boss having his reputation laundered by a labor leader? Is "former worker" a high bar to clear? PLUS: An anonymous UPS Teamster complains that his union won't allow him to prep his route off the clock. We commend rank and file for stepping up to educate this member, discuss working off the clock as well as the merits of dealing in good faith with fellow members--even when they regurgitate anti-union propaganda. FINALLY: We laugh at some reactionary organizing attempts within the union and remember funny hardcore band merch Get a bonus episode every week and 20% off all merch by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for only $5/month BUY OUR SERIOUS AND NOT FUNNY MERCH AT www.miniondeathcultmerch.bigcartel.com…

ALSO: A Maine farmer livestreams his shootout with police because Maine likes gay people and abortion too much and NOT because he lost custody of the child he's refusing to give up.

Sorry about the delay, folks! TODAY: We read an OP-ED from business insider beseeching the public to stop throwing things at the author's Cybertruck. She needs it for work (psychologist). Plus its full-self driving feature reduces stress, which is really important to your physical health. ALSO: A story of one of Tony's customers disrespectfully blocking other cars in the parking lot, and a story of Alex steadfastly blocking other people in with his work truck to prove an important point. FINALLY: DEI helicopter pilot hits DEI jet pilot? What are the odds? Now we're hearing it wasn't DEI??? But a different fake thing? Did God (Matt Groening) crash these aircraft into each other?

TODAY: We correctly choose not to cover the tariffs (now placed on hold) and instead turn to the very funny news of a Chinese AI model destroying the American Stock Market We sample the coping and seething of american tech parasites and beg China to do the right thing and fix Facebook ALSO: Tony shares a bizarre story about a dumpster-f*cker that he's really good friends with PLUS: A vigilante tries to deport a couple guys for speaking spanish. We watch the viral video of his hateful, racist performance and commend a bystander for stepping in. Will we be able to convince liberals that deportation is violent and racist even when its being done by law enforcement?

5 weeks тому6:08

6:08

TODAY: Ani joins us to observe the further nazification of this country with news of the young, black, self-hating groyper who killed another student and himself while leaving behind a manifesto filled with hopelessness and internet-poisoned ideology. We watch the right wing once again try to obscure the results of their destructive ideology by focusing on the shooter's race, and we connect this to the shameless denial around Elon Musk's recent Nazi salute. ALSO: The Trump administration vows to apprehend undocumented migrants at schools and churches, leading teachers across the country to vow to defend their students from ICE. Libs of Tik Tok and others on the right reaffirm their commitment to evil with fantasies about punishing teachers for protecting students--while refusing to acknowledge the substance of their fears FINALLY: One post-left dissident has the courage to ask--now that we've blown up anti-racism and started processing human filth for mass deportation, can we help ease the pain of factory-farmed pigs? We determine if the right can be racism'd into caring about literal animals and we consider the argument that deporting undocumented workers alone will fix the factory farming practices. Please, RFK jr., put down the decapitated whale's head and start working on animal-welfare regulations!

1:29:18

TODAY: JF and DB of YKS join US to call on Reddit investors to bring vicious, anti-Musk mods to heel before they destroy the entire site with their bigotry We also watch the #1 dork in charge of tattling on Reddit be radicalized into holocaust-denial in real time by the website (X) he's defending. ALSO: Not content to rest on their laurels, the Babylon Bee is cultivating the next generation of sardonic satirists with a User Submitted Headlines social media forum available only to $60/subscribers and up. We read through clever and playful headlines like "Trump Says That It's OK If Someone Wants To Work From Home. However, If They Do, Then Their Pay Will Be Cut In Half Since They No Longer Have To Deal With The Price And Aggravation Of Having To Commute To And From Their Jobs Daily." and wonder how these cats haven't gone professional yet. FINALLY: An Intersex???? Moose??? A local news station reports on a hunter's interesting (or gross!!!) discovery and Facebook conservatives react with angry confusion. Is this the result of democratic leadership? Does this moose make anyone else think about molesting kids? We can at least all agree the situation is SAD and DISGUSTING.

TODAY: We uncover and discuss a different type of racism dividing the working class: Truck Driver Supremacy, as Alex shares an annoying argument with a Bezos-boosting Teamster who insists on making the union smaller. ALSO: Trump has an "impressive" 3-hour meeting with Bill Gates, leading many Trump supporters to go "Huh?" Was Trump holding this meeting against his will? Was the meeting a ploy to get Bill Gates' confession on tape? Either way Trump probably didn't like it.

ALSO: Facebook shows us the damning truth about the Suffragettes (they were really cool) and we find out about girl math (cancelling out your husband's vote) PLUS: Our quest to learn more about feminist terrorism leads us to some prime reactionary posts and a guy who blames the recent Las Vegas terrorist explosion on a feminist plot (read: divorce).
