You call this Justice? Unpacking the Supreme Court with Rachel Sklar

The Supreme Court shapes everything from our rights to our daily lives—but who is it really working for? We’re joined by Rachel Sklar to break down recent decisions, what they mean, and why “justice” doesn’t always feel so just.

Sleep Is Not a Luxury. It's a Strategy.

We thought this was going to be a conversation about rest and self-care tips for burnt-out organizers. We were not prepared for what actually happened. Lindsay Scola (former Obama campaign advance staffer turned sleep expert) joins us to talk about why so many of us are exhausted, why our doctors aren't helping, and what we can actually do about it. Fair warning: at least three people on this recording had a personal reckoning. You might too. Learn more about Lindsay's work here: https://www.lindsayscola.com/ [https://www.lindsayscola.com/]

In the News: The WTF Edition

Let’s be honest—March felt like it lasted approximately 14 years, so we’re doing an “In the News” recap to try and make sense of the ongoing fever dream that is the Trump administration. We’re breaking down some of the headlines you probably saw (and some you maybe wish you hadn’t): the Markwayne Mullin confirmation, the White House posting what can only be described as combat video game content, ICE agents showing up in airports, and Mamdani’s pothole blitz. And yes—this one runs a little longer than our usual 20 minute format. But in our defense, a lot happened. And even with the extra time, we still only got through about 20% of it.

Women's History Month: Heroes and Villains

Oh look. A podcast of women talking about Women’s History Month. Groundbreaking… except this one actually is. We’re flipping the script with a game of Two Heroes and a Villain. Each of us brings two women we admire and one we’d gladly erase from history. One minute each. Round-robin style. If you loved the GTFO Awards, you already know the chaos that’s coming.

DON’T. SKIP. THE. PRIMARIES.

Primaries are often called “the election before the election” for a reason. In this episode of Organizing Chaos, we break down how primaries became such a powerful part of American politics, why turnout is usually so low, and why skipping them can shape the outcome of elections long before November. From the history of the primary system to the real-world impact on candidates and policy, we unpack why showing up early in the process matters more than most people realize.
