Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 18 - we spiral down. This is the second in a new collection on the SCOTUS decision to allow the Trump regime to dismantle and close down the Department of Education — without the legal or Constitutional authority and from a decision made on the “Shadow Docket”. This is how democracy dies, in darkness and dumbing t...

Great reporting coming out from Dean Blundell on GardaWorld providing security guards for the Florida based death camps. GardaWorld is a Canadian company, based out of Montreal. What the fuck are we doing contracting Canada’s Blackwater? What the fuck are we doing with death camps?

This really sucks. Stop giving fascists platforms. If you are a member of the Carnegie Mellon University community — staff, faculty, alum, graduate, undergraduate, and other — please sign this letter to President Jahanian and Provost Garrett voicing our displeasure and deepest concerns over allowing a fascistic, anti-Constitutional prick to attend the Energy and Innovation Summit. You had the choi...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 16 - big win . This one is the second in the “collection of wins” and is really special to me. Thanks the the hard work, organizing, and activism of people like Fred Wellman , Kristofer Goldsmith , The Ken Harbaugh Show , and so many others for stopping the flood of VA providers being pushed out. You’re efforts ar...

This is how you fold and let fascism take hold. You legitimize them and destroy your own values in the process. Fuck you Carnegie Mellon University for allowing Trump to attend your Energy & Innovation Summit. https://www.wtae.com/article/trump-pittsburgh-carneigie-mellon-energy-ai-summit/65398493 This is a public episode.

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 17 - education’s demise. This is a sonnet to SCOTUS, to go fuck themselves, for enabling the destruction of the Department of Education. The only institution that guarantees a free and equal education for all of our children. This is a purposeful attack to dumb us down and make us easier to control. I dissent. My...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 15 - small win . This one is the start of the “collection of wins” and is really special to me. Thanks the the hard work, organizing, and activism of people like Fred Wellman , Kristofer Goldsmith , The Ken Harbaugh Show , and so many others made a dam in the river and stopped a flood of VA providers from being fo...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 14 - oath under lies . This one’s part 3 of the “collection of lies” and a continuation of our two previous episodes and poems— filing lies and lies under oath . Continuing our whimsical theme to lighten the mood while (alleged) perjury takes place on a massive scale—this is inspired by all the Epstein file stuff,...

Thanks for a great conversation and hopefully a useful bit of wisdom. Do not lose your empathy, for that is a basis of our humanity. This effort to control and destroy is an effort to remove empathy from the equation. It’s to make the perfect, unfeeling automatons needed for the society envisioned by Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Elon Musk, and so many others. What gives us strength and joy is our empath...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 13 - lies under oath . This one’s part 2 of the “collection of lies” and a continuation of our previous episode and poem filing lies . Thanks again to our AG Scam Bondi, we have a collection of lies being thrown at us and the meltdown and freakout gives me a lot of joy. It’s fun to see leopards eating their own fa...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 12 - filing lies . Well, this one was a bit of a bonus, thanks Scam Bondi for the missing minute from the Epstein camera feed and your “dog ate my homework excuse” you’ve now given us. The alleged perjury is a bold choice. Now, filing lies is part 1 of the collection of lies series. Out now in audio! * Part 2: E13...

Hey y’all, it’s Nick - you’re poet for Sick of this Shit with Nick and host of Sick of this Shitpod . I’m an Army veteran and I didn’t stop serving when I left the military. Now, I’m standing up for clean energy that creates jobs, strengthens our grid, and keeps our communities secure. I’m proud to be part of Veterans Power America , working to bring smart, local energy projects to towns like ours...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 11 - wash away . This one I tried something a little different where the first letter of each line spells out the title and subtitle. As for the meaning—a little more inspirational to remind us that everyone, from me to you can wash away fear and wash away hate as a group. When we work together, we’re stronger tha...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 10 - democracy rises . This is another call to patriotism. Not one born from a nationalistic nightmare or some technofascism fever dream, but one born from the American Dream. One where we all share in freedom, liberty, and justice. One where we live up to the promise of that dream. Author’s Note: If you enjoyed t...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 9 - parting the dark . With it sometimes feeling bleak and bad news is coming in like a tidal wave; just remember, sometimes you are the light that shines brightest. That light is needed now as we all plunge headfirst into the unknown darkness. Be the light— light in our eyes, eyes clear of lies; doing our part, p...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 8 - freedom shall ring . It’s Independence Day weekend and I’m fired up right now. I’m fired up to stand for our Constitution and what it means to me—liberty and justice for all. And by all, I mean every damn one of us. No one left behind, right? Well, this is a call to action, to be American is to resist and prog...

Hey y’all, welcome to Sick of this Shitpod and I’m Nick, your host. Today is episode 7 - fireworks fly . I’m an Army veteran. I’m damn proud of my service to this country and the Oath I swore when enlisting. It’s appalling what we have become and we have strayed so far. I wrote this poem on Independence Day, in honor of that patriotism and what has been lost; however, what was lost can be found. L...
