NEW ORLEANS! I’m looking forward to coming through and speaking with the great @nathan___robinson of @currentaffairsmag about The Myth of Red Texas Friday April 17 @the.gardendistrictbookshop
Come by and talk about the many ways we can revive the populist tradition today.
“Griscom takes Texas history and makes it sing a new song—one that reminds us of a radical past and enables us to understand why we feel the call to make America radically freer, more equal and democratic.” - @harveyjkaye_
AOC DERANGEMENT SYNDROME - @davidgriscom and @mattlech talk about the problem with so many leftists falling for the worst nonsense imaginable when it comes to AOC.
Happy Easter! We are up this Easter Sunday with a special message in our patron only bonus episode. When it comes to AOC people need to wise the fuck up and stop falling for cheap right wing bait

Welcome to a very special episode of Left Reckoning with our good friend RM Brown @officialrmbrown , who helps us break down the loonies and the zany in a way only a proper newsman can do. Plus David & Matt talk about the new excerpt from The Myth of Red Texas published in the Nation.
When barbed wire first came to Texas people fought it, stood against private property and for the open range. Much different cowboy values than we hear today. You can learn more in my book The Myth of Red Texas or by reading my excerpt in @nationmag - “The Radical Texas War Against The “Devil’s Rope”
Come see me in Brownsville this Friday 7 at @buhobtx with @etiennerev and Enrique Flores
And next Weds at 7 at @thewilddetectives with @kksteffany
From cowboys to labor leaders, David Griscom’s debut book calls on Texans to reclaim their leftist roots—and examine who buried them in the first place.

Is the Iran War actually about nukes, or even 'regime change?' Or is it an attempt to put a country of 90 million people into civil war and chaos? We had Annelle Sheline of the Quincy Institute on discuss that and what remains of diplomacy in our world order of mob-style assassinations and kidnappings.
