Meg returns for a Mother’s Day episode that is warm, weird, and wildly enraging.
We start with a ceasefire (India and Pakistan) and end with state violence (ICE kidnapping a mom in Massachusetts). In between, we explore the imperial roots of the India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir, why caste and colonialism still matter, and how U.S. immigration law is a eugenics project in bureaucratic drag.
Other things we cover:
- What a teenage Indian pacifist on live TV can teach all of us
- How Stephen Miller’s immigration plans recycle 1920s-style race science
- Why MAGA fascism isn’t new, just newly branded
- The emerging tradition of regular people blocking ICE with their bodies
- Whether Trump actually wants a Nobel Peace Prize (spoiler: yes)
- And what it's like to be the sullied gene pool (looking at you, Finn)
Don’t just listen. Organize, radicalize, and leave us a 5-star review that would make Karl Rove proud (but maybe don’t use his name this time).

- Amazingly wise pacifist Indian teen. This is how you handle reporters.
- Must-watch documentary, The Settlers, from Louis Theroux. (If you can't watch the BBC, try a Google search or search on X. You might find a friendly pirate.)

- And, if you want to check out that scene of Cantinflas on the border.
