Summary
In this episode of The Dugout , we start with a mental health check-in and reflections on our goals for 2026, then move straight into the chaos of the moment: ICE activity in Central Ohio, shifting global conflicts, and what non-campist solidarity actually looks like when empires, states, and militias all claim to be the answer. We talk about Venezuela, Iran, Kurdistan, Greenland, and Sudan — including scenes from El Fasher — to make sense of how one system of domination shows up across many places and in many forms. We dig into new developments in repressive technology, the rumored DEA–ATF merger, and what it means to organize under expanding surveillance and policing. Finally, we sit with the psychological weight of living inside constant crisis: how to process endless media, how to stay grounded, and why “retreat” is different from surrender. We close with reflections on Diane di Prima’s Revolutionary Letter #18 and what it offers those trying to remain human while resisting empire. One war. Many fronts. The same fight for dignity, survival, and freedom Time Codes 01:20 Intro and mental health check-in 10:33 Goals for 2026 and The Dugout 14:05 What the fuck has been going on 14:32 ICE in Central Ohio 16:00 International non-campist news: Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, and Kurdistan 33:02 Why non-campist solidarity matters and how 36:39 Scenes from El Fasher, Sudan 37:45 Repressive tech updates 49:51 DEA and ATF merger?? 51:31 How do we process so much media and stay sane 54:49 What we’re seeing right now that’s making us concerned 59:19 Do not flee America — retreat 1:05:48 Closing: Revolutionary Letter #18 (Diane di Prima) Mentioned Media CrimethInc – Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities (2026) https://crimethinc.com/2026/01/15/rapid-response-networks-in-the-twi…
