We talk with Arlene Eisen, author of the riveting “In the Worldwide Family of Militant Women”, published by ISKRA Books and also available freely as a downloadable pdf, and Nadya Tannous, a solidarity activist with Palestinian Youth Movement and writer of the book’s foreword. More than a memoir of Arlene Eisen’s experiences as a militant anti-imperialist from Peru and Vietnam and participant in and observer of revolutionary projects in Cuba, the USSR, and China, the work is a social history of revolutionary women of that generation and a storehouse of insights about galvanizing and connecting to resistance and struggles today. Join me to learn from Arlene and Nadya about militant feminism, anti-imperialism, solidarity, the lessons of history and experience for today’s sharpening confrontations with imperialist capitalism, racism, misogynist patriarchy, exploitation and genocide.

8:30 pm - Spirituality and Activism w/Texas Tom

Agenda: The Historical Roots of Pete Hegseth’s “Theology of Violence”

Tonight we’ll watch and discuss an interview with Mark Ramm of Transparency Cascade Press, who traces how Pete Hegseth’s “theology of violence” draws on older strands of American Christian thought. Ramm shows how ideas about hierarchy, masculinity, and the moral use of force echo arguments once used by pro‑slavery theologians and how these themes have resurfaced across two centuries of American religious and political life. We’ll explore how this long-running tension—between a Christianity that enforces hierarchy and one that seeks liberation—continues to shape public policy today, especially in immigrant enforcement and the clashes between federal agents and protesters.

For Those Who Want to go Deeper:

Two of Ramm’s articles related to tonight’s topic:

1. The Pentagon Confirmed Hegseth Admires a Theologian Who Called Slavery “Benevolent”
2. Noem’s Podium “One of Ours, All of Yours”: The Ideology of Collective Punishment

Agenda: The Story of Howard Thurman (in celebration of Black History Month)

Tonight we’ll be watching and discussing Backs Against the Wall: The Howard Thurman Story, a documentary that introduces us to a thinker whose quiet depth shaped the civil rights movement. Thurman taught that hope is not optimism but “the remembrance of radiance,” a way of holding light in dark times.

Thurman’s legacy invites us to reconsider what power looks like. He believed that nonviolence was sustained by an inner steadiness, a cultivated depth of spirit. “There is in every person a place of quietness that is the source of strength for the life that is lived in the midst of the turmoil,” he wrote — a truth that continues to speak to anyone laboring for justice in a fractured world. His life suggests that transformation begins not with defeating an enemy, but with discovering one’s own dignity and the humanity we share.

In a moment marked by democratic erosion, rising authoritarianism, and the targeting of vulnerable communities, Thurman’s vision offers a way to stay rooted rather than reactive. This film invites us to consider how inner quiet, moral clarity, and disciplined courage can sustain resistance when so much depends on our ability to stay awake and human.

Tonight‘s session will also include a guided meditation at the end of the evening.

1 pm - Office Hours 23: The Treason of the Clerics w/Adnan Husain

The intellectuals and intelligentsias, like Noam Chomsky, have been exposed as much as any of the corporate and political elites in the Epstein revelations. What is the role of “the intellectuals”? The “Treason of the Clerics” comes from Julian Benda’s bemoaning of collaborationist intellectuals, the clerics, of society who betray their sacred duty of dispassionate critique. As we know, even that is a mirage in what Gabriel Rockhill calls the Intellectual World War. Who are the intellectuals of practice, the organic and oppositional leaders, in the struggle for liberation instead? Joining me to talk about this as well as the stifling of Cuba, threats on Iran, and other theatres of US empire is Justin Podur, a professor at York University, author of several important books analyzing US empire, and host of the indispensible Anti-Empire Project and corollary Anti-Genocide Project podcasts and video. Office Hours comes at an early afternoon time, 1 pm ET Friday Feb 13th so don’t miss it!

Loosely structured and reliant on character sketches, running gags and many catchphrases, its fast-paced “blackout” style set it apart from traditional sketch series because of the number and relative brevity of its sketches; a typical half-hour TV sketch comedy of the period might have consisted of nine or ten major items, with contrived situations and extended setups, whereas the premiere episode featured 27 sketches in 30 minutes,[1] with some items lasting less than ten seconds and none running longer than three minutes. Its style and presentation influenced many later series such as Little Britain and The Catherine Tate Show.
