We discuss the ramifications. Next, while many are aware of the corrupt and corporate leanings of Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, his wife Gayle happens to have still OTHER corrupting forces that she merrily navigates for her husband's benefit.Then, we review how the EU commissioned a study to "prove" that unauthorized downloads have a negative effect on legitimate sales of various forms of media, only to...

We discuss what happened in this gross misuse of political pressure.Next, we talk about how, for white women the right to have an abortion was ruled in favor of medical "privacy", making the legal grounds for it shaky and leaving out...

We find out what happened to bring us from the heights of a strong middle class to the point at which very few can truly make ends meet. Then, in a heartwarming turn, thousands of Fin Whales have been spotted together in Antarctic waters - we'll tell you why this is even better than i...

Oh, the NYT promises it will remain free... for an introductory period. Mr. Wardle couldn't rightly turn down the money thrown at him, but wonders why we can't just have nice free things?

Wu of the Atlantic tells us that virologists don't mean what WE mean when they say the Omicron variant of COVID is "milder" - that misunderstanding is leading to a lot of poor public health decisions, letting our guard down around a still-fatal pandemic. Then, we look over Ryan Cooper's piece in the week, entitled "Wisconsin's One-Party Rule is What the GOP Wants Everywhere" and how, despite having a Democratic governor, virtually all policy in the state is under the thumb of the Republicans.

Also, if you can, follow her example of longevity. Then, we go into how, at 30% remaining contagious with COVID at the fifth day of infection, the new CDC guidelines allow roughly 300,000 infectious people per day back into the workforce. Next, we review Stephen Marsh's book, "The Next Civil War". where he proclaims that it's...

This includes CRT protests being used as a distraction from how the January 6th investigation was not going well for the GOP, how many more people were getting badly affected by the climate crisis, and that there was no room in the debate for helping people out financially - oh no, they wanted you to look away from all of that in order to see them roaring over how "critical race theory teaches our children to hate America".

The wronged parties are taking to the courts for remedy against those damages, and this may be key to finally getting the attention of the oligarchs. Then, Sildenafil, a highly popular medication for keeping certain things alert, seems to be showing an ability to help fight dementia- we go over the swell results.

According to this, it is called "Black Friday" as that is when they are finally "in the black" financially, but that is far from the actual origin of the term.

After all, "climate finance" is the funding put forward to help nations that need assistance to help them become greener, and if it includes (via ambiguity) such things as predatory loans or comes with strings attached, it discourages those we want to ENCOURAGE to adapt. Worse, it gives the loaning countries the expectation that what they "spend" on climate finance will actually come back to them, leaving...

Not only does that harm the benighted patients in the ICU, it also keeps hospitals from being able to admit others who need their services, forcing non-COVID patients to be turned away even from emergency care.Then, we look at the much-exaggerated "rough night" the Democratic Party had on 11/2/2021 - the losses were easily predictable, despite what the...

However, those who champion the capitalist nightmare we are in cannot allow (or even fathom) this sharp attack to go unanswered, going to so far as to take the creator's quoted purpose of the series and flatly saying he's wrong. We expose these denials and the mendacious folks behind them, and show you how to detect bad analysis...

This attempt to slow the militarization of our local police forces, which tended to disproportionately affect black Americans, has since been quickly shuffled back into their budgets this year. We analyze why and what can be done as an alternative.Then, Colin Kaepernick has a publishing company, and its first book discusses the history of the "Abolish the Prisons" movement. and how this idea needs to be re-examined now more than ever. Finally, we l...

Why? Oh, we'll tell you, and the answer is to be found in the old classic "Sixteen Tons".Then, COVID-19's path of death has shifted its focus: as more of your centrist-to-leftward population in America has gotten vaccinated versus the conservative side, more US conservatives are finding themselves hospitalized by the "hoax", with no few of them dying...

We show why this is the WRONG framework to use when tackling climate issues. Then, we further go into how (MMT be damned) possibly one of the most KEY parts of solving the crisis is the taxation of the BIllionaire class. Finally, we shed light on how, while it is perfectly good that Gabby Petito got the attention she did when she was "lost", so many more Native women are lost...

According to that, you had a 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 chance of getting a breakthrough COVID-19 infection if you were already vaccinated, a number that was ludicrously off the day it was published and continues to be more inaccurate as the pandemic rages on. We examine how they arrived at these figures, and what the real chances are. Please get...

Especially in the brutal Wisconsin winters, we don't want people to freeze to death, but we need to be able to afford the solution. Finland knows a thing or two about Winter AND about homelessness, and their solution: make giving the homeless housing the FIRST thing you do, not third or fourth step down the line.

2020-08-1057 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 07/31/2020 - Mail-in Disaster Looms, Figuring the Lies, and the Return of BlackwaterTrump and the GOP are playing us AGAIN. By attacking vote-by-mail as being highly prone to fraud by voters (it's not, BTW), he's tricked the establishment Dems into a full throated defense of it. Why is that a problem? Because voting by mail DOES have a major flaw, but IN TRUMP'S FAVOR: many, and I mean MANY places have managed to put regulations and shady tricks in place to cause MILLIONS of mailed votes to be discarded by those we've trusted to COUNT them. And whose votes are the most likely to be discarded? College students, black people and low-income...
2020-08-0453 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 07/27/2020 - How Trump Stole 2020 with Greg PalastAs the polls go, it looks more and more likely that there's no way Trump could possibly win the next election. However, that might not matter because, with a combination of tricks used in 2016 and brand new avenues that have been opened up since, Trump has already stolen the 2020 election.But don't lose hope! Joining us this episode is Greg Palast, author of "How Trump Stole 2020", and he's not only here to outline how the crime was committed, but how we can steal it back.

2020-07-2130 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 07/13/2020 - BLM Backlash with Carl GibsonThe George Floyd protests have allowed Black Lives Matter to make tremendous strides forward in their goal of social justice for black people, and it seemed that with each step forward, the media was all too ready to talk about the latest window broken, statue toppled or fire set in protest. What has barely been touched upon are the over 300 instances of retaliation suffered by BLM protestors and others since May 30 - but that stops now. Carl Gibson posted his investigative piece on precisely that to https://carlgibson.substack.com/ this week and he joins us to discuss what's behind...
2020-07-1337 minTMI with Aldous TylerTMI 07/06/2020 - A Tribute to Mimi Soltysik, Modern American Socialist LeaderThis episode of TMI is devoted to a man I first met on Facebook over seven years ago. Co-chair and 2016 Presidential Candidate of the Socialist Party USA, he was a tireless champion of the people, and a seemingly endless resource for modern Socialism. Cancer took him just over a week ago. I felt compelled to pay tribute to a man who, though I never met in person, was the kind of person where that barely affected how much he was able to connect with you. Farewell, Emidio "Mimi" Soltysik. Rest in Peace. Rest in Power.
