In this episode of The Dugout, Jordan and Prince sit down with writer, critic, and cultural theorist Nia Òla for a conversation that cuts through the noise of online discourse and dives deep into the heart of radical education, identity, and political awakening. From growing up in the Bronx to becoming a powerful voice on platforms like TikTok and Substack, Nia shares how curiosity shaped their worldview—and why it remains a revolutionary force. This is Part 1 of 2.
We explore the complexities and realities of sex work, the emotional labor of politics online, the limits of freedom, and why “going outside and touching grass” is more than just a meme—it's a political call to action. With humor, vulnerability, and brilliant clarity, Nia helps us reimagine what it means to engage, educate, and resist in today’s cultural moment.
Whether you're new to these ideas or deep in the work, this is the kind of conversation that stays with you.

What is security culture, and why does every activist and organizer need to learn it? In this video, I break down the basics of security culture: assessing risk, protecting your community, and understanding how the state surveils and represses social movements. From COINTELPRO to Stop Cop City, we explore how movements have survived government targeting—and how you can start building better practices today.

In this episode, we delve into the tragic case of Ryan Hinton, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Cincinnati who was fatally shot by police on May 1, 2025, during a foot chase. Police allege that Ryan was armed and posed a threat; however, body camera footage leaves critical questions unanswered, prompting his family to initiate an independent investigation.
The following day, his father, Rodney Hinton Jr., was charged with aggravated murder after allegedly striking and killing a Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy with his vehicle. This incident occurred shortly after Rodney viewed the bodycam footage of his son’s death, leading to widespread discussions about the psychological toll of police violence on Black families.
Through an abolitionist perspective, we examine how this case underscores the criminalization of Black masculinity and the systemic issues that perpetuate cycles of trauma and violence. As we launch Season 2, this episode sets the stage for deeper conversations about state violence, resistance, and the urgent need for transformative justice.

In this episode ofThe Dugout, we continue our deep dive into George Jackson's seminal text,Blood in My Eye. Part 2 focuses on Jackson's analysis of fascism as a structure deeply embedded in American society, his vision for the role of the vanguard party in revolutionary struggle, and his incisive critiques of political failure within liberation movements.
Who Was George Jackson?
George Jackson (1941–1971) was a revolutionary thinker, writer, and member of the Black Panther Party who became a central figure in the movement for prison abolition. Arrested at 18 for stealing $70 from a gas station, Jackson was sentenced to one year to life, a punishment emblematic of the carceral system's violence against Black communities. While incarcerated, he transformed himself into a powerful theorist, writingSoledad Brother andBlood in My Eye, works that remain foundational to Black radical thought. Jackson’s revolutionary praxis called for the overthrow of capitalism and the prison system, which he identified as tools of racialized oppression. On August 21, 1971, he was assassinated by prison guards in San Quentin. His life and work continue to inspire abolitionist and anti-imperialist movements worldwide.

In this episode of The Dugout, we step into the sunlit shadows of resistance with Andrew Sage—better known as Andrewism—an Afro-Trinidadian solarpunk anarchist whose YouTube channel has become a beacon for hopeful radicals and Black anarchists across the globe. We chop it up about growing up in the Caribbean under colonial hangovers, what solarpunk means beyond aesthetics, and how anti-capitalism rooted in joy, ecology, and community care can help build the futures we deserve.
From anarchism in the Global South to the myths of barter and the realities of mutual aid, Andrew breaks down complex ideas with clarity and heart. We talk radical education, climate collapse, the danger of "aesthetic activism," and the power of imagining liberatory worlds beyond survival.
🛠️ This one’s for the builders, the dreamers, the ones who know abolition is not just absence—but presence.

What did 2024's biopIc, ONE LOVE, leave out—and why does it matter? This video goes beyond the sanitized legend of Bob Marley to explore his radical politics, Rastafarian beliefs, and the Cold War forces that made him a threat to the CIA and Jamaican elites. From surviving a 1976 assassination attempt to recording Exodus in exile, Marley’s life was shaped by resistance, not just rhythm. I also unpack how politics behind the film raise major questions about Zionism, diaspora, and Black masculinity, and why that erasure matters.

What if one moment of resistance could spark a revolution? From the Stonewall Riots in 1969 to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, to the story of Carmela Torres, a 17-year-old Mexican girl who sparked the 1917 Bath Riots at the US-Mexico border, this is the real history of how ordinary people — especially women and queer people — turned personal defiance into collective power.
It’s not just about who threw the first brick at Stonewall — it’s even more crucial that the collective was ready to resist together.

Martin Sostre was more than a political prisoner—he was a revolutionary thinker who reshaped the prison abolition movement from behind bars. In this episode of The Dugout, we uncover the life and radical legacy of Sostre, from his early years in Harlem to his transformation into one of the most fearless prison intellectuals of the 20th century.We break down his fight against the U.S. carceral system, his role in prison uprisings, and how his legal battles set precedents for prisoners’ rights. Through the lens of Black anarchism and abolition, we explore what Sostre’s resistance means for today’s movements against state violence, political imprisonment, and mass incarceration.

In this episode, we delve into the portrayals of the Black Panther Party in the TV miniseries The Big Cigar and the 1995 film Panther. We critically examine the depiction of the party's politics, the representation of co-founder Huey P. Newton, and the broader narrative of revolution, and whether or not revolution on screen is viable.
Media Discussed:
The Big Cigar: This biographical drama thriller miniseries, developed by Jim Hecht, is based on the 2012 Playboy article by Joshuah Bearman. It follows Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton as he escapes an FBI manhunt to Cuba with the help of Hollywood producer Bert Schneider.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0t0QL7ba1U
Panther (1995): Directed by Mario Van Peebles, this film offers a dramatized account of the Black Panther Party's origins and activities. It spans the years 1966 to 1968, highlighting the party's rise and the challenges it faced.

They say we have free speech—but history proves otherwise. From COINTELPRO to the Kent State massacre to today’s pro-Palestinian crackdowns, the state has always silenced dissent. This video breaks down how language is weaponized to criminalize protest, dehumanize activists, and justify state violence. How does the U.S. decide who gets free speech and who gets suppressed?

Today, we break down the state—its role, its violence, and why anarchists reject it. We examine Max Weber’s idea of the state as a monopoly on legitimate violence and connect it to Black anarchist critiques from Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin and William C. Anderson. How does the state uphold racial and economic hierarchies? Why does seizing state power recreate oppression? And how is the state tied to capitalism? Tune in for a deep dive into power, coercion, and resistance!
