Bernie Sanders has won two states in a row, first Iowa and then New Hampshire. But how exactly did he do it? We talked to Jacobin's Shawn Gude, who gives some details about what the Sanders campaign's organizing looked like in Iowa, who ended up turning out for him, why Sanders has to overcome the barrier of post-Obama political despondency, and the campaign's path forward post-New Hampshire. Here's Shawn's article from Iowa: https://jacobinmag.com/<wbr />2020/02/iowa-working-class-<wbr />satellite-caucus-sanders And here's Meagan Day's article on the campaign's organizing: https://<wbr />jacobinmag.com/2020/02/bernie-<wbr />iowa-caucus-immigrant-factory-<wbr />workers-organizing

Suzi talks to Ansar Fayyazuddin<font color="#365f91">, t</font><font color="#000000">heoretical physicist and writer, who has written on geo-engineering as an approach to mitigate the climate disaster that he contends offers a false solution, filled with fallacies bound to create unforeseen consequences. Ansar’s critique is lucid and devastating, and he argues that geo-engineering technological fixes will not get us out of this mess, but will further entrench us in a deeply eco-destructive mode of life. He finds hope in the social movements demanding fundamental change and that means not just a Green New Deal, but conceiving the possibility of the end of capitalism. </font> <font color="#000000">Turning to the aftermath of the Bolivian coup, Suzi talks to</font>Linda Farthing<font color="#365f91">, </font><font color="#000000">Bolivia-based journalist and writer who gives us her account and analysis of what has happened in the three months since the coup that ousted President Evo Morales, sending him into exile. We get Linda’s insights on what led to the coup, who has reaped the benefits, and what has happened to the largely indigenous social movements that propelled Evo Morales to power and now face a horror show of violence. We also ask what lies ahead given elections have been called for May 2020. </font>

Columbia Point tenants face new management and a private police force.This is the final episode of the first season of People's History Podcast! "The Point: Rebellion and Resistance in Boston Public Housing" traces a social history of Boston from the urban rebellions of the 1960s, through busing in the 70s, into the Clinton era.We investigate these events from the lens of one community: Columbia Point, the largest public housing project in New England. Built on an isolated landfill site next to the Boston city dump, it was the site of major organizing, from welfare rights to a Free Breakfast for Children program. It was also the first public housing project to be sold off and redeveloped as private "mixed-income" development (and was a model for the federal policy "HOPE VI").Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/peopleshistorypod
