EARTH RIOT RADIO: Planet Earth Stops Donald Trump (00:29:00)
That’s the headline that flashes through the paper and pixels. Someone finally defeats Trump and it is the Earth, who is the guardian of life itself, the captain of evolution, the giver of love. Today’s Earth Riot is led by Theodore Roszak, who identified the “Vast Wasteland” of the media culture that poor Donald loves so much, and who gave us the gift of “Eco-Psychology” the healing from the miracle that we call the Earth. We can call it healing, but the word healing is a half-built phrase, it could mean anything. Call what the Earth gives us LOVE. Now we’re getting somewhere. LOVE TAKES DOWN DONALD TRUMP.

KEEPING DEMOCRACY ALIVE: Why is There So Much Fear in the Strongest Country in the World? (00:59:50)
Fear of the other. Fear of woke, of LGBTQ+, of Black liberation, and of course the old big fear: Communism. In the age of the Cold War, right after WWII, Americans believed the Soviet Union was bankrolling worldwide liberation movements, when they could barely rebuild themselves. Longstanding institutional racism led to our anticommunism: the Black Lives Matter movement was labeled as dangerous extremism as the FBI ignored genuine dangers from the right. Has Trump become our Stalin? On this show history professor Denise Lynn reveals what anticommunism is really about. Has it turned us into what we feared?
