The first episode of the New Year focuses on the recent right-wing insurrection in DC while highlighting that liberalism is complicit in white supremacist oppression as well. It also aims at the "ally industrial complex" and challenges "accomplices" to step up their support to Black, Brown and Indigenous liberation while rejecting the system that was built for settlers. Moving past performative gestures and lip service to serious and concrete actions that lead to the eradication of the empire altogether are "goals" for 2021.
