The RadicalRuss Show is my Monday morning podcast that covers the stuff I’ve been ranting about on social media last week @RadicalRuss.com on Bluesky and here on my blog. You can listen to all episodes in the player below or subscribe to the podcast on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you get your podcasts (see links in the footer below). Call in to my message line at 877–RUSS–420 (877–787–7420) if you have something to say, or email me at radicalruss@gmail.com.

To begin this bit of self-indulgent fun, I picked “Reminiscing” by the Little River Band. It’s one of my go-to songs for singing karaoke—yacht rocky, some nice jazz vocal licks at the top end of my range—and it’s also got this nice little pop bass line that I’ve never been in a band with the horns and keys to perform.

We’ve returned from the No Kings Rally in Grants Pass, Oregon. It was clearly a larger turnout from the previous No Kings, both on the anti-fascism side and on the MAGA side. For a county that voted 62% for Trump, our turnout, estimated at 2,500 by the local organizers, is quite impressive.

Our movement is one that is rooted in the foundational principles of the United States of America—the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—no matter what Mike Johnson says.
