    #1825 We Are Still the 99%: Occupy Wall Street's Unfinished Business, 15 Years Later
    2026/09/29
    Air Date: 9/30/2026 Today we look at the legacy of Occupy Wall Street, which was in full swing 15 years ago and changed how the country talks about inequality and the 1%. In the meantime, the cumulative wealth of the 1% in the US has roughly tripled and Trump has the wealthiest cabinet in history running the country, so the concerns expressed at Occupy have only come into sharper relief.

    #1826 The Mechanics of Complicity from Nazis to Newsrooms to Fandoms
    2026/10/04
    Air Date: 10/3/2026 Today we examine the mechanisms of complicity. We're not all complicit in the worst atrocities but we are complicit in something so it's good to know how it works. Good people go along with bad ideas and thoughtful people allow themselves to be thoughtless all the time. The reasons are often structural but they can be resisted on both the personal level and collectively. Full Show Notes Transcript BestOfTheLeft.com/Support (Members Support and Get No Ads!)

  • #1827 Deep Cuts: Exxon Knew - The History Behind the Case to Make Polluters Pay

    #1827 Deep Cuts: Exxon Knew - The History Behind the Case to Make Polluters Pay
    2026/10/07
    Air Date: 10/7/2026 Today we trace the "Exxon Knew" story through a decade of our own archive, because that history is what the Supreme Court is weighing in Suncor v. Boulder in their first case this term. Exxon's scientists confirmed the climate science in the early eighties and the company chose to manufacture doubt. Communities like Boulder County have paid ever since and the question before the Supreme Court is whether any lawsuit like this will be allowed to go to trial.
