Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.

This week, we're tackling the question of how and when to break up--with your socialist organization, and with a partner who is prioritizing their job over your relationship.

Sarah, Federal Workers Rise up Against Musk, Trump and Drastic Cuts

Paolo Gerbaudo - The Digital Party

Olufemi O Taiwo - Elite Capture
