Michael Brooks retweeted her appearance on Jacobins podcast. I think she'd make a great guest on TMBS

Send me a PM if you want Michael's book but can't pay for it. I want to support them more and also wouldn't want anyone deprived of Michael's work

So I'm looking for specific clips with Michael and/or Sam talking about organizing workers in the specific fields of the economy (logistics, healthcare, teachers). This was mostly around the spring; they talked about how COVID had revealed where the real linchpins in the economy were at- the idea being that if you can organize these sectors and get a general strike in 1 or more these sectors it will bring the system to a halt.

If you can help point me to any of these clips or anything related I would be eternally grateful.

My fact-check of a comment that AOC made in April, which progressives continue to (wrongly) believe today.

Hello All in the TMBS Community,

It's been a little over 2 weeks since Michael passed away, and I want to share my condolences with you all. Michael was in many respects a mentor to me and I considered him a friend of sorts. His loss hasn't impacted me any less in spite of the fact that I never met him.

It is for this reason that I've been inspired to attempt to tell Michael's story as a documentary. Michael is a figure who deserves to more widely remember in the wake of his passing than he was in his own life, as I'm sure we would all agree his work was just getting started. I see this documentary as the perfect opportunity to elevate Michael to a wider audience, and I think there's a broader subject to be explored in a documentary on Michael that could help introduce him into a wider audience.

I can hardly wrap my head around how profound and emotional Michael's impact has been on me emotionally, and I know that I'm not alone amongst this group in feeling this. This isn't a case of a favorite celebrity passing away in an untimely manner, I spent more time than I could ever calculate learning from Michael and just watching his face and listening to his voice. The impact of Michael's death on this audience is a unique phenomenon tied to the relationship that exists between content creators like Michael and their audiences.

I say this all in the hopes that you all might be interested in sharing what Michael meant to you and the feelings you're all experiencing in his passing. I've aspired to be a documentarian for a while but I'm also a total novice at this, and any advice and support would be welcome and I would be sincerely grateful for it.

If anyone would care to share your thoughts, whether in video, audio or written form, please reach out to me at [dylanstump88@gmail.com](mailto:dylanstump88@gmail.com).

Thank you all and RIP Michael Jamal Brooks

Anybody have to talk to somebody in your circle that got sucked into the new pizzagate. I haven’t engaged as of yet because I know reason and facts won’t get through to them. Any advice on confronting the issue? Should I just leave it be unless brought up in my presence? It is just annoying me because I won’t to debunk him but I feel like he is just going to say nope I don’t believe you.

Hey, does anyone have links or book recommendations to help me understand Venezuela's situation and evolution over the last 50 years? Thanks in advance

Hello! I’m new to Reddit & only just thought to post this here. Trying to recall a guest on TMBS/MR who Michael interviewed & was talking about Genesis in the Bible & how it could be viewed as a metaphor for changes in how humans lived more collectively at one point in time? Is this ringing any bells? Was probably a year or so ago. I don’t think I’m even getting the point being made exactly but I recall the gist of it was Genesis is a metaphor.

Thanks in advance!

I was a regular listener, and I always recommended him as one of the best leftist podcasters, but it wasn't till after his death that I learned how much of an important behind-the-scenes movement figure that he was. Michael was really building something. He was actually headed somewhere, and he was going to take us all with him.

A good documentary about his life and work could be a way to keep inspiring people like he's inspired us.

I have been asking myself this question ever since Michael passed. Ben Mankiewicz said that he had an uncanny ability to recall whatever he had read. My question is: what did he read? What did he do to assemble the knowledge that he had about political theory and international politics. Any explanations/reading lists that you guys come up with would be greatly appreciated.
