Tarabuster Tuesdays: The Yellow Vests and the Battle for Democracy with Ida Susser

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. May 26, 2026 🎙️ Author and anthropologist Ida Susser joins the show to discuss her book The Yellow Vests and the Battle for Democracy: Taking to the Streets of Paris in the 21st Century, examining the grassroots uprising that challenged economic inequality and political exclusion in France. 🎙️ Susser breaks down the origins of the Yellow Vests movement, what drove ordinary people into the streets, and how their demands exposed deep fractures in neoliberal governance. 🎙️ We connect the movement’s fight for economic justice and democratic accountability to struggles here in the United States, and what it reveals about rising global discontent. 🎙️ Plus, the Tarabuster rundown of the latest outrages, hypocrisy, and why the fight for a more equitable, democratic future rages on! And more! Buckle up. It's a lot. As usual.
