A Sharpening of the Already Present - with Kim Tall Bear
This talk explores an Indigenous analytical approach to understanding the concept of the ‘Anthropocene,’ including why the present era is not quite everyone’s apocalypse: some Peoples are already post-apocalyptic survivors. In addition to drawing on Indigenous scholarship, Indigenous ideas about apocalyptic grieving are offered as alternative foundational concepts to counter settler-colonial ideological responses to the current environmental crisis and to the denied/impending fall of US empire.

2 AM
Project Censored
In the first half of the show, Eleanor Goldfield speaks with professor Mohammed Bamyeh about a no-state solution for Palestine, an idea rooted in both Palestinian and broader Middle-eastern history, when societies often functioned primarily on organic anarchy rather than government orders. He also explains the actual origins of religious fundamentalism in Arab countries, and the appeal of revolution when realistic options fail.
Next, Eleanor interviews author John Washington about his latest book, "The Case For Open Borders" (Haymarket, 2024). Washington surveys some of the history of US border policies, and the surprisingly recent origins of today's militarized US borders. He explains why efforts to block human migration fail, and why, contrary to politicians' rhetoric, open borders actually are beneficial.
Mohammed Bamyeh is Professor of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh. His areas of scholarship include anarchism, revolution, religion, and the Arab world.
John Washington is a staff writer for Arizona Luminaria (azluminaria.org). He has also been published in the Atlantic, the Nation, and the New York Review of Books, among others.
