Charles Bursell Presents

Co-hosts Chuck and Chucky discuss the new P ope and the (zero) chances of church reform from their perspective as recovering Catholics and happy atheists. www.charlesbursell.com

In the never ending arms race between private profit and government regulations there can be no winner. It's time to chuck them both, especially with the likes of AI, the climate crisis, and fascism breathing down our neck.    www.charlesbursell.com

Every odious offense of the regime falls under two basic themes: gut federal services and take dictatorial control of what's left. Don't let the daily avalanche of horrible headlines overwhelm you. Historians can sort out the details, we need to stay focused on the fight for democracy.    www.charlesbursell.com

Some Democrats are finally starting to talk tough about taking down the regime, jumping in front of the parade and pretending to lead. If that's what it takes, fine, welcome to the fight. Also, is the Orange Menace a big joke or is he genuinely dangerous? It's not an either/or question.    www.charlesbursell.com

A "big tent" coalition to defeat The Regime? Fine. But if we want a real democracy, ditch that metaphor for a better one: "build a better mousetrap." Also: it's time to force Congress's hand on impeachment. Plus: a starter list of "know your rights" resources.    www.charlesbursell.com

YouTube pundits, stop pretending you're journalists and join the revolution. Real news media with actual journalists, declare the administration a rogue regime and cover it accordingly. Also, which Repugs to pressure on impeachment.       www.charlesbursell.com

The fascist Regime continues its authoritarian agenda in defiance of Congress, the courts, international law, and public opinion. Impeachment is the only solution at this point. Luckily, Charles Bursell has a plan!    www.charlesbursell.com

The Regine has crossed a red line by tossing innocent people into foreign concentration camps, brazenly defying orders from the nation's highest court, and offering only obvious lies and propaganda in defense. Now is the time for Americans to show their contempt and bring down the Orange Menace. World Day of Action is Saturday April 19 th . www.charlesbursell.com

It's entirely possible that within days the Insurrection Act and even Martial Law will be deployed in order to terrorize immigrants and suppress peaceful protest. Without panicking, the pro-democracy resistance must plan strategy and tactics going forward.    www.charlesbursell.com

The Regime is openly preparing for violence against street protesters. As such, it is time for mass consumer boycotts and labor strikes to take a central role in the movement. For that, we'll need a strong foundation of mutual aid.  What is Mutual Aid? This episode provides an overview. www.charlesbursell.com

Now that we can stop wetting ourselves over tariffs (or can we?) let's try to get clear-eyed about our current dire situation. Convicted felons are openly discussing war crimes in the Oval Office, the cold-as-ICE American Gestapo is running amok, and The Supreme Court is playing hide-and-seek with the Constitution. It's time to do our homework on mutual aid and make some tangible plans for resisti...

The whole damn government is burning while Democrats, media, and major institutions watch helplessly. Good. Let them all go down together. They're responsible for the rot that bought us here in the first place.   www.charlesbursell.com

With a stunning Wisconsin win, Cory Booker's dramatic filibuster, raucous Town Halls and rallies, and an unbeaten streak in the courts, the resistance is having a watershed moment. Seemingly undeterred, the Regime continues its constitutional crime spree, its dangerous financial and foreign policies, and appears now, in its own defining moment, to be openly planning for violence.    www.charlesbur...

We in the pro-democracy movement need to state our demands strongly and clearly. Here are my top ten suggestions. Spoiler alert, number one is impeachment. Also: perjury, war powers, and bad grammar in Signalgate. And: the courts are with us so far.     www.charlesbursell.com

The abuse of language is a lethal tool in the abuse of power. What will you say when that reporter puts a mic in front of your face? Are you ready? Advice on keeping the fascists' receipts for future generations. Also, continuing boycotts and rallies, and Spring Election early voting is happening now.    www.charlesbursell.com

I believe we can win the war for democracy in America, but just how bad can it get before we do? We need the courts to hang strong, a "mad as hell" turning point from someone in the media, and it'd be great if the Dems shattered into pieces. Then at least maybe they could rise again as something useful. In the meantime we have to fight for ourselves, because apparently no one is coming to save us....

With the unlawful arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil the Regime has crossed the line into straight-up Nazi level crimes.  Also, the public pressure is starting to rattle the fascists. Keep it up! We keep you posted on upcoming events, boycotts, and strikes. And, are Muskrat and The Orange Menace crazy, stupid, or just plain high? www.charlesbursell.com

The resistance is growing and that's good, but protest alone won't be enough. The fascist coup is attacking swiftly. We have to meet the assault with mass disruption. It's time to shut down systems. It's time to show American government, finance, and media who really has the power: The American People.     www.charlesbursell.com

The fascist coup is still couping, but the courts are still with us and our pro-democracy movement is picking up steam. We boycott Amazon starting Friday March 7. The next big march is on Saturday March 8, International Women's Day. Find an even t near you. It's all about direct action now!  

We defeated the Monarchy, the Confederacy, Jim Crow, and the Axis Powers of two World Wars. In the new global alignment it's now up to we the people of The United States and Europe to win our generation's greatest challenge.    www.charlesbursell.com
