Party Girls

Jamie is joined by Tom Sexton and Tarence Ray of the Trillbilly Workers Party podcast to talk about Ari Aster's polarizing new film, Eddington. Set in a fictional southwestern town in 2020, the Hereditary director's latest offering has a lot going on: Joaquin Phoenix as MAGA sheriff, Pedro Pascal as neolib mayor, Emma Stone as goth girlfriend, and Austin Butler as cult leader. Also: hysterical SJWs, noisy 'splosions, and a high noon showdown set to Katy Perry. Is it a timely critique of the monsters people create in their minds, or lib-brained 'both sides' slop? Jamie and her esteemed guests discuss.

Let's get this out of the way: we recorded this episode the day before Charlie Kirk got smoked by an assassin who is, as of this writing, still at large. But as it turns out, there are lots of other things happening in the world. Like: a judge threw out the Stop Cop City RICO case (yay!), ICE is invading Sam's city (boo), civil unrest popped off in Indonesia, and Zoomers are literally overthrowing the government in Nepal. Plus, NYC schools have a hilarious new mascot for the cell phone ban named "Frankie Focus." We promise we'll talk about the funniest thing ever next week. *** SIGN UP NOW at https://patreon.com/partygirls to get all of our bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!

On Sam's recent visit to New York City, the PG crew recorded their FIRST EVER episode together in meatspace! In this very special episode, the crew talks about Sam's trip to NYC, why they do the Luigi Mangione Legal Fund spokesperson work (and other organizing work) for free, and unpack some of their ideas about revolution. All this, plus an adorable cameo from the show's official third host, Frida Gato. You can't see it in the audio version, but trust us, it was cute. *** SIGN UP NOW at https://patreon.com/partygirls to get all of our bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!

Jamie and Sam are joined by Felix from the Berlin-based discussion and publication group Friends of the Classless Society to discuss their piece “Contours of the World Commune, ” which can be found in Endnotes #5. This text offers an exciting glimpse of what this world commune might look like, so we can keep our eyes on the prize as we build revolutionary power in the here and now. What is the relevance of Marx’s transitional “first stage” of communism in a late-capitalist economic landscape? Should we abolish the suburbs? Are rural land projects an escapist delusion or is there something there, after all? All this and more in this week's audio-only episode.

Jamie and Sam reunite for a classic Party Girls news ep in which they discuss pressing items including the accidental(?) killing of Blackstone CEO Wesley LePatner and the Trump administration’s simultaneous beefing up of ICE and admission that they can’t actually deport a million people. Also: Ghislaine Maxwell death watch; St. Francis of Assisi reincarnated as Florida baddie.

Jeffery Epstein (news) is back from the dead??? Why won't this fuckin ICE melt??? Time to go biking i guess jesus christ https://truthout.org/articles/sex-workers-are-being-abducted-by-ice-and-abandoned-by-respectability-politics/

Jamie is joined by Julia Gwiazdowski, a library worker and strike captain with District Council 33, to talk about the historic municipal worker strike that (probably) just ended in the great city of Philadelphia. How did things get so bad that these essential workers are making an average of just $46,000/year? What role has racism played in how this predominantly black union gets treated by the city? Mayor Cherelle Parker and the black misleadership class. All this, plus some discussion of how actions like this align with Julia’s politics as an anarchist. NOTE: This episode was recorded on Tuesday, July 8. On Wednesday, July 9, a tentative agreement with the city was reached. The deal falls short of what the workers were asking, and far short of what they deserve. DC 33 might be going back to work, but the struggle continues.
