  34: From Jazz & Tap Dance to Politics & Gangs - the Development of Five Points, New York

  May 27, 202646 minS2

  <p>What if one neighborhood held the entire origin story of American corruption, immigration, labor rights, and music? This week, we’re talking about Five Points — the most infamous neighborhood in 19th-century New York City, and arguably the most consequential few acres in American history.</p><p>We start before the streets were even laid, with the Lenape people of Mannahatta and the freshwater Collect Pond that sustained lower Manhattan for thousands of years. Then we trace how a catastrophic act of environmental negligence created a literal sinkhole of poverty — and how that sinkhole became the engine of American political corrup...

  33: Is now the time to bring Victory Gardens back?

  Apr 29, 202655 minS2

  <p>We’ve done it before. Multiple times.</p><p>During World War II, everyday people — with no farming background, no land grants, no government subsidies — grew 40% of all the fresh vegetables eaten in the United States. They did it in backyards, on rooftops, in window boxes, in vacant lots. They did it because the system they relied on couldn’t hold them, and they decided to hold themselves instead.</p><p>So what would happen if we did that again? Not for a war. Not because the government told us to. But as a grassroots movement of people who are tire...

  31: The Fall That Built the Renaissance

  Mar 29, 202653 minS0

  <p>In 1453, Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II breached the walls of Constantinople and ended the Eastern Roman Empire after 1,123 years. But the story that gets skipped in most history classes is what happened next — and what had been quietly happening for decades before.</p><p>Byzantine scholars, philosophers, and intellectuals fled west carrying something priceless: original Greek manuscripts of Plato, Aristotle, Homer, and Galen that the Latin West hadn’t read in centuries. They landed in Florence, Venice, and Rome. And they set the Renaissance on fire.</p><p><p>Ripples of Rebels is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and...

  30: The Bonus Army: When America Turned Tanks on Its Own Veterans

  Mar 14, 202649 minS0

  <p>In the summer of 1932, over 43,000 World War I veterans and their families descended on Washington, D.C., demanding early payment of service bonuses they’d been promised — and were met with tear gas, bayonets, and burning camps ordered by their own government. The Bonus Army encampment didn’t end with negotiations or compassion. It ended when General Douglas MacArthur drove tanks and cavalry through American veterans on American soil. Nearly a century later, the pattern hasn’t changed.</p><p>This episode traces the throughline from 1932 to today: from the broken promises made to WWI doughboys, to the decades of denia...
