A news roundup--we start by talking about Sean's psychedelic encounter with a woke Civil War statue, the recent Supreme Court decisions on the Voting Rights Act and Teamsters, the West Coast port shutdowns and dynamics of portworker labor in the US, and the upcoming UPS strike as a potential opening salvo of the final battle of organized labor. We then discuss the recent trans panic in light of the history of queer liberation, and our cis blindspot on the issue.For the full episode, in which we discuss the legacy of Ted K in US anarchism, and a related analysis of AI, support the show at http://patreon.com/theantifadaWest coast port slowdown links: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/06/05/tmau-j05.htmlhttps://lbbusinessjournal.com/ports/2-container-terminals-at-port-of-long-beach-closed-monday-at-least-1-to-be-closed-tuesday/https://www.axios.com/2023/06/06/whats-behind-work-stoppages-at-west-coast-portshttps://www.supplychainconnect.com/news-trends/article/21267198/west-coast-port-strike-update UPS strike: https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/12/business/teamsters-ups-strike-possibility/index.htmlZerzan - Whose Unabomber? https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/john-zerzan-whose-unabomber NYT AI article: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/10/technology/ai-humanity.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Song: Marilyn Manson - Astonishing Panorama of End Times
