CEOs keep saying insane things that reveal they want us all dead, then cry when we don’t just lay down in our graves. Weird. Join us.

Portugal has MAGA now, down to even A.I.-generated xenophobic rap videos, and we’re sorry. Then we discuss the nationwide widespread pushback against new ICE detention facilities due to an alliance of wokes and the most undefeatable of American political forces, NIMBYs. After that we bring on Corey Ryan Forrester to walk us through a hilarious mayoral scandal that’s rocked his small town.

Small towns across America are being flooded by plans for massive ICE detention centers, which Andrea Pitzer, in One Long Night, describes as concentration camps. In this episode of Good Skews, Producer Matt talks with rural organizer and former state House candidate Megan Kocher about what’s unfolding in Northeastern Pennsylvania and across the country, why warehouse sites are spreading into small towns with little local input, and how recent reporting on ICE misconduct raises urgent oversight concerns. We also discuss what real organizing looks like beyond protests — from building ICEwatch networks and mutual aid systems to leveraging zoning boards, local officials, and elections to slow or stop detention projects before they take root.

We talk about the various freakouts surrounding the Super Bowl, then the various freakouts surrounding the Olympics. Then we get into the continuing fallout around the Epstein documents and how officials in other countries are facing consequences. Not in America though, because no one here did anything they could be ashamed of, because no one has shame.

The White House seems to be considering arming the Brave Mujahadeen of Alberta, Canada. Then we get into the latest Epstein document dump, the hilarious conspiracy theorists’ reaction to them, and also how Ol’ Jeff’s schemes seem to have been carried on after he was dead. Probably a coincidence. And yeah, the thing that’s in the episode title: Epstein tried to fund a biological weapon that would make women horny. Join us.
