Read Eric's essay here: https://www.laborpolitics.com/p/shopping-isnt-a-strategy We don’t need vague calls to stop shopping at these places or one-off rallies — we need sit-ins, pressure campaigns, *organized* boycotts, employee and consumer petitions, sickouts, demands from elected officials, and non-violent disruption to force these companies to immediately break from ICE.

Ep 1463THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM: EVEN TONE DEAF RAPPERS ARE HEAVEN SENT
Critique of Lar Russell and Social Media Success: Jason Myles introduced a detailed critique of the artist Lar Russell, relaying a friend's opinion that no one listens to Russell outside of children and that they are essentially a "dumb person" skilled at social media marketing of "cornball music". The friend’s critique also mocked Russell’s defensive "artist" response to criticism. Lar Russell's Business Model and Controversy: Jason Myles noted that Lar Russell has achieved significant online success and claimed to have moved 30,000 physical copies of an album using a "pay your own price" model, though Billboard disallowed it from charting due to incentives. The current controversy stems from a song that caused enough backlash for Russell to deactivate social media. The "Heaven Sent" Song and Mother's Rally: Lar Russell’s song, in which they state that everyone, including Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, and Adolf Hitler, is "heaven sent," caused the controversy. His mother organized a rally in Vallejo to support him, which Jason Myles viewed as counterproductive. The Misuse of the Term "Heaven Sent": Jason Myles and MToussaint discussed the literal definition of "heaven sent," which implies a miraculous saving. Jason Myles argued that Lar Russell did not understand the phrase and was likely attempting to use artistic license to speak positivity. Rapper's Defense of Artistic Freedom: Jason Myles played a clip of someone from the rally defending Lar Russell's right to freedom of speech, arguing that they only answer to God, not other human beings. MToussaint countered that this perspective is illogical and that there are indeed consequences for one's speech.

Ep 1461EP. 858: THE MEMING OF CHUCK NORRIS ft. RYAN ZICKGRAF
Read Ryan's piece on Chuck Norris in Jacobin here: https://jacobin.com/.../chuck-norris-action-movies-memes... Twenty years before Donald Trump was posting AI images of himself as a king, the internet learned how to meme by exaggerating the masculine superiority of Chuck Norris. What began innocently with “Chuck Norris Facts” has evolved into MAGA’s empire of slop.
