Microdosing at the Insurrection

Dear Friends,
This solo minisode is an off the cuff expression of hope, grief and determination. It's an attempt to articulate and square up to this seminal moment in American history, from the perspective of my own eyes.
Tonight will be the 7th evening of nationwide demonstrations and rebellion against the police murder of George Floyd, the police murder of Breona Taylor, and police brutality towards Black people and people of Color in general.
I live just a few blocks from the Capital building and downtown Phoenix, which is now a highly militarized police green zone: a spasm of red and blue flashing lights. Unmarked black SUV's idle in parking lots on every street corner along 7th Ave between Van Buren and Washington St. Half a dozen helicopters ceaselessly circle the area. Surveillance drones outnumber birds. (Which, admittedly, has more to do with domestic cats than anything else, but I digress.)
Email the pod at [email protected] if you'd like to join the demonstrations downtown, or if you'd like to learn more about organizing and mobilizing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in Arizona.
Stay safe, be smart, be strategic, be calm.
One Love,
Conan

Revisiting Fidel and the Cuban Revolution: Part 3 of an Original BNP Series
What's up to all my nimble mutineers and artful subversives!
Welcome back for Part 3 of the original BNP series, Revisiting Fidel and the Cuban Revolution, covering 1956 - 1961.This episode we first retread a little bit of ground, from 1956 - 1958, to pick up some important pieces that were left out in Part 2, particularly relating to the extraordinary human character, efforts and achievements of certain of the rebels, as well as taking a deeper look at the specific guerrilla tactics employed by the Fidelistas and July 26 Movement in their protracted struggle against the vastly superior firepower of Batista's U.S.-backed armed forces.
Che, Fidel, Camilo, Raul and their band of tattered rebels were outnumbered 1500:1 when they first set up camp in the Sierra Maestras. Their survival in those rugged first weeks in a hostile jungle was directly reliant on the intrepid procurement and delivery of supplies from the city, facilitated by two unsung heroes of the revolution, the guerreras Celia Sanchez and Vilma Espin.
We then move forward through the revolution, recounting a couple key victories for the rebels that ultimately propel the force into Havana and into power, promptly filling the vacuum created after Batista's midnight getaway to the Dominican Republic.
The episode finishes out in March of 1960, by introducing the incipient stage of Operation Mongoose, a CIA backed and Eisenhower approved multi-year and multi-front mission to assassinate Castro and overthrow the fledgling Socialist state.

Insurrection Update: Taking Stock 18 Days In
Blessings to all my Riotous Barbarians and Loot Liberating Hell Cats!
Much love as always comin' at ya from the open air bread oven that is Phoenix in June. Lots to discuss in today's episode so let's get right into it.
Reform, defund, abolish. We've heard these terms being thrown around lately in the national discussion around holding police departments (and the politicians who govern them) accountable for their brutality and violence towards Black people, people of Color, and poor people of all stripes.
As we gather daily in the streets and demand justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor (somehow the cops who murdered her are still not charged), Dion Johnson, Dreasjon Reed and many, many others, there is a growing sense in our society that enough is truly and completely enough, and that we must leverage this societal pressure into real, lasting, tangible changes in regards to how our communities are policed.
This episode provides an update, from the perspective of my own eyes, on the local struggle to defund the Phoenix PD and the daily demonstrations downtown. Also discussed: momentum of Black Lives Matter nationally, the need to Disband ICE, current atrocities being committed as we speak in ICE detention centers, and Congressional Democrats' insanely tone deaf symbolic gesture of "taking a knee" in Ghanaian kente cloths meant to tamp down public outrage (spoiler alert: it didn't work).
Thank you as always for listening and supporting the BNP. Please rate, review, subscribe and tell a friend about the pod. Check me out on Instagram @conantanner. Email the pod at: [email protected].
