That’s right, Garfield Class of NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS UNITE! Woof woof Bulldogs! Ella and Isolde unpack even more of what the hell went on at Garfield High, and it’s a true testament to their journalistic chops that they broke this story back in Y2K and are still looking for answers (still waiting on your comments Seattle Public Schools!

Welcome back to Swamp Person! Today we welcome our first GUEST. Her name is Jenny Hunter, and she’s a labor lawyer and writer based in DC. And we are so excited to be answering some important questions about LABOR UNIONS + THE SUPREME COURT.

Oct 13, 2026

Today we have a listener question coming in from one Lindy W. of the Washington State area: How come sometimes the Supreme Court issues a ruling that doesn’t make us want to claw our eyeballs out? Sometimes Clarence Thomas decides NOT to p*ss in our mouths??? Is that on purpose?
