The Left Unsaid takes a wild, politically-charged joyride through the myths we’re taught in school and shouted from the news. Join Pat, Meg, and Finn as they question official narratives, complicate history, and crack jokes at the crumbling empire’s expense. Critical thinking, dark humor, and a refusal to obey in advance, all from the comfort of our living room.

Sir, No Sir: GI Resistance in LA and DC

This episode features part two of our conversation with Catholic Worker organizers Lenore Yarger and Steve Woolford, and their son Quinn. From their rural North Carolina home base, they’ve spent 20 years running the GI Rights Hotline, an anonymous lifeline for soldiers looking to get out, resist, or simply not follow illegal orders. Their hotline blew up when Trump ordered National Guard deployments to Los Angeles.

What happens when the empire turns inward? What kinds of calls do they get from soldiers at the breaking point?

We also learn some history of resistance to right-wing, anti-immigrant nativism in Siler City, a small North Carolina town.
