The Party Line on Hanson’s Invasion day antics and the Minneapolis uprising against ICE by Anneke Demanuele, Omar Sherrife & Jordan van den Lamb

The Party Line on Hanson’s Invasion day antics and the Minneapolis uprising against ICE Bullshit has been confirmed as an essential part of the pod by popular acclaim, and so this ep begins with a healthy serving. So we start by exploring Omar’s first experience of Jordan’s fame, the quality of flooring in the office, and other essential issues facing the nation. The headlines take another look at US imperialism in relation to both Venezuela and Iran, before looking at the unholy alliance of Coles and The Australian, and the impending collapse of the Nationals. The first of our main segments looks at the massive Invasion day demos around the country, the much smaller fascist mobilisations, and the literal bomb thrown at the Invasion day protest in Perth. We then look at the inspirational resistance to ICE in Minneapolis, where 3000 thugs have confronted tens of thousands of students, workers and activists standing against the violent deportations of migrants. The general strike on January 23 was a clear turning point, leading businesses to complain about the disruption and Trump to lead (a partial but much welcomed) RETREAT! As of now the struggle remains ongoing and we send our full solidarity to the people of Minneapolis. Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and special guest editor Auley Ryan.

We hope to bring a radical perspective to a podcast landscape dominated by insipid liberalism (looking at you, The Daily). The pod will come out weekly, and aims to breakdown news and current events from a socialist point of view. While a lot of what’s going on in the world is fairly bleak, The Party Line will try and highlight voices of resistance and struggle.
