What if one moment of resistance could spark a revolution? From the Stonewall Riots in 1969 to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, to the story of Carmela Torres, a 17-year-old Mexican girl who sparked the 1917 Bath Riots at the US-Mexico border, this is the real history of how ordinary people — especially women and queer people — turned personal defiance into collective power.
It’s not just about who threw the first brick at Stonewall — it’s even more crucial that the collective was ready to resist together.

Martin Sostre was more than a political prisoner—he was a revolutionary thinker who reshaped the prison abolition movement from behind bars. In this episode of The Dugout, we uncover the life and radical legacy of Sostre, from his early years in Harlem to his transformation into one of the most fearless prison intellectuals of the 20th century.We break down his fight against the U.S. carceral system, his role in prison uprisings, and how his legal battles set precedents for prisoners’ rights. Through the lens of Black anarchism and abolition, we explore what Sostre’s resistance means for today’s movements against state violence, political imprisonment, and mass incarceration.

The Kardashian family has built an empire on controversy— from their ties to O.J. Simpson, to Kim Kardashian’s Paris robbery, to how the 2007 Writers Strike helped launch Keeping Up with the Kardashians. This video kicks off "The Kardashians or The KKK," a deep dive into their history, scandals, and reality TV dominance. How did a family linked to celebrity crime, racial politics, and media manipulation become one of the most powerful brands in pop culture?

In this episode, we delve into the portrayals of the Black Panther Party in the TV miniseries The Big Cigar and the 1995 film Panther. We critically examine the depiction of the party's politics, the representation of co-founder Huey P. Newton, and the broader narrative of revolution, and whether or not revolution on screen is viable.
Media Discussed:
The Big Cigar: This biographical drama thriller miniseries, developed by Jim Hecht, is based on the 2012 Playboy article by Joshuah Bearman. It follows Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton as he escapes an FBI manhunt to Cuba with the help of Hollywood producer Bert Schneider.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0t0QL7ba1U
Panther (1995): Directed by Mario Van Peebles, this film offers a dramatized account of the Black Panther Party's origins and activities. It spans the years 1966 to 1968, highlighting the party's rise and the challenges it faced.

They say we have free speech—but history proves otherwise. From COINTELPRO to the Kent State massacre to today’s pro-Palestinian crackdowns, the state has always silenced dissent. This video breaks down how language is weaponized to criminalize protest, dehumanize activists, and justify state violence. How does the U.S. decide who gets free speech and who gets suppressed? And what does that mean for the future of resistance?

They tell us that "free speech" is a foundational right, but history tells a different story. From COINTELPRO targeting Black radicals to the brutal crackdowns on anti-war protests, the U.S. has always drawn the line at speech that challenges power.

Today, we break down the state—its role, its violence, and why anarchists reject it. We examine Max Weber’s idea of the state as a monopoly on legitimate violence and connect it to Black anarchist critiques from Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin and William C. Anderson. How does the state uphold racial and economic hierarchies? Why does seizing state power recreate oppression? And how is the state tied to capitalism? Tune in for a deep dive into power, coercion, and resistance!

In this episode of The Dugout, we sit down with ASL PRINCESS, a visionary artist, organizer, and founding member of CLASS WAR COLLECTIVE, to talk about the power of queer anger, the necessity of being antagonistic to trans misogynoir, and the radical act of building community on our own terms.
ASL PRINCESS shares stories about growing up in a family with mixed political values, navigating rage as a Black trans person in a violently anti-Black world, and why we don’t waste time arguing with bigots to prove our existence. We explore the horror of defining ourselves through the lens of the state, decolonizing our love and intimacy, and what it means to show up in community—not just for others, but for the past versions of ourselves who needed that space, too.

Ever wondered what everyday resistance actually looks like? In this video, I share how I’ve practiced anarchist calisthenics throughout my life— from QUEERNESS AS RESISTANCE to HOW LABOR IS A SITE OF COMPLIANCE TO OPPOSE —and how you can do the same. If you’re looking for ways to push back against oppressive systems in your daily life, or just curious about what this all means, this video breaks it down with real-life examples and practical steps.

In this episode of INTRO TO. BLACK ANARCHISM, we’re breaking down the idea of “anarchist calisthenics”—a theory about practicing small acts of disobedience to build the muscles for bigger resistance. Inspired by James C. Scott’s Two Cheers for Anarchism, we’ll explore how poor and marginalized people have long used quiet acts of defiance to survive capitalism and exploitation. From everyday rule-breaking to collective resistance, these small moments add up to something bigger.
