Episode 23: "Y'allidarity" feat. Tallahassee DSA

Dec 5, 2018

In this episode of Coffee with Comrades, Pearson sits down with Cosby Hayes and Paul de Revere, two members of the Tallahassee Democratic Socialists of America, to chat about Hurricane Michael, ongoing disaster relief efforts, and political organizing in Florida’s capitol. But first, Bree and Pearson tackle the news.

• FL cops seize white supremacist gangs’ cache of pipe-bombs, firearms, and drugs.
• Refugees at the border seeking asylum had numbers scrawled on their arms.
• The U.S. senate advanced a bill to end support of Saudia Arabia’s genocidal war in Yemen.
• Millennials aren’t killing industries, we’re just broke.
• Yellow vest movement continues to rage in Paris.
• Jeremy Hammond has been placed in solitary confinement.
• George H.W. Bush is dead. Rest in piss.

On this week’s edition of the show, hear from two Tallahassee DSA community-organizers who sit down for a report on disaster relief in the Florida panhandle six weeks after the devastation of Hurricane Michael. In addition, Cosby and Paul contemplate the pro’s and con’s of political organizing in the “big tent,” dissect sectarian shenanigans, and explore the limitations of electoralism before closing on a discussion of the future of the DSA.
