Feeling helpless about the state of the world? Same. In this episode, Becky and Taina serve up a spicy mix of rage and real talk about how to practice anti-fascism and anti-capitalism without burning yourself out. From mailing junk to the White House as protest (yes, really!) to joining tool libraries and neighborhood swaps, they share ideas that are affordable, actionable, and rooted in mutual aid.

They also go in hard on billionaires-in-space propaganda (👀 looking at you, Jeff Bezos), talk about why libraries are the ultimate resistance tool, and share fanfic-fueled joy as an act of defiance. This isn’t doomscrolling—it’s action-based community care for when you’re feeling powerless but still want to make a damn difference.

Discussed In This Episode:

  • What “anti-fascist action” actually means (spoiler: you don’t need a pitchfork)
  • How to use Project Maelstorm to flood the system with snail mail resistance
  • Mutual aid ideas that cost little or nothing
  • Why local libraries are radical tools of liberation
  • Critiquing the billionaire joyride to space
  • Building community with lending libraries, swaps, and shared skills
  • Saying “fuck it” to performative feminism and embracing real-life impact
