Albania's government just handed a billion-euro resort deal on protected coastline to Jared Kushner — without public consultation, without environmental review, without competitive bidding. When people showed up to protest, private security guards beat them while police watched. What happened next was the Flamingo Revolution. Over 100,000 people in the streets of Tirana. Diaspora protests on f...

What happens when the language of LGBTQ+ rights gets used to defend state violence instead of human dignity? In this episode, we break down pinkwashing —the practice of using selective queer inclusion and Pride-friendly messaging to present a state or political project as progressive while obscuring oppression, war crimes, and dehumanization. Using Israel’s messaging around LGBTQ+ rights as the ce...

In this episode, I’m talking about why so many Albanians are outraged over the proposed luxury development tied to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in Albania. What is being sold as tourism and investment is, for many people, something far more serious: protected land being opened up for private profit, environmental destruction, government corruption, and the selling off of land that holds deep his...

They have no leader. No headquarters. No membership cards. No bank account. And according to the U.S. government — they're a terrorist organization. In this episode, we break down what Antifa actually is, where it came from, and how a leaderless political ideology became the boogeyman of American politics. We also dig into the Texas case where 9 people were just convicted of domestic terrorism — p...

You've heard it a thousand times. You criticize Trump — cite the court documents, play the audio, quote his own officials — and suddenly you've "got TDS." But where did this phrase actually come from? Who invented it, and what is it really doing? This week we trace Trump Derangement Syndrome from its origins as a recycled Bush-era propaganda tool all the way to its current life as MAGA's favorite...

We are in danger. This week we're diving into the most consequential news cycle in years — and we're not holding back. We're unpacking the Epstein files fiasco (spoiler: the DOJ is hiding stuff and we know it), the SAVE America Act that just passed the House and could disenfranchise tens of millions of voters, the terrifying scale of ICE's surveillance dragnet targeting immigrant communities, the...

The immigration system is more than just policies—it's a web of human rights violations, private profits, and systemic abuses you're unlikely to know about. In this eye-opening episode, Carlos Alberto Yañez Navarro , a PhD candidate and human rights advocate, exposes how detention centers are operated by private corporations driven by profit, often holding individuals in inhumane condition...

Why do myths of child sacrifice keep appearing wherever power concentrates? In this episode of  Radical Leftist Scum , Valdet Selimaj traces a disturbing thread that runs from ancient gods like Baal and Moloch to modern elite power networks. This isn’t a story about superstition — it’s a story about power, secrecy, and the psychology of people who believe they are untouchable. We examine: The hist...

*Trigger Warning* This episode discusses child sexual abuse and trafficking. Please take care of yourself while watching. Child sex trafficking isn’t a Hollywood thriller or QAnon fanfic — it’s kids we’ve already failed: runaway youth, foster kids, homeless youth, queer and trans kids, and children living with abuse at home. In this episode of Radical Leftist Scum , we walk through what the data a...

Inside the Epstein files isn’t just about which famous names show up — it’s about whose stories we believe and whose we erase. In this episode, we dig into what the documents and surrounding cases really show about power, impunity, and a justice system that bends to shield elites while demanding impossible proof from survivors. This episode helps echo the voices of the survivors. Building on last...

Fascism and authoritarianism aren’t some distant future threat—they’re already here, woven into court cases, headlines, and “reasonable” sounding laws that quietly strip people of their rights. In this episode, we break down how authoritarian creep actually works in real life, using the arrests of Black journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, protest crackdowns, anti‑trans laws, abortion bans, and...

Why does one side of American politics keep attacking teachers, scientists, and “experts”? Why are professors framed as indoctrinators, librarians as threats, and doctors as liars? In this episode, we break down the long-standing tradition of  anti-intellectualism on the American right —and why it remains one of the most effective political strategies in modern conservatism. From vaccine denial an...

In this pilot of  Radical Leftist Scum , Valdet lays out why the current moment in U.S. politics isn’t just “polarized” or “messy” – it’s structurally authoritarian, and we’re being trained to treat it as background noise,   We dig into how book bans, anti‑trans legislation, attacks on workers, and open corruption get framed as “controversial bills” or “both sides” drama, and how that framing keep...
