Animals are staging a revolution—they’re just not telling us. From radioactive boar invading towns to jellyfish disarming battleships, Animal Revolution (U Minnesota Press, 2022) threads together news accounts and more in a powerful and timely work of creative, speculative nonfiction that imagines a revolution stirring and asks how humans can be a part of it. If the coronavirus pandemic has taught us anything, it is that we should pay attention to how we bump up against animal worlds and how animals will push back. Animal Revolution is a passionate, provocative, cogent call for us to do so.
Ron Broglio reveals how fur and claw and feather and fin are jamming the gears of our social machine. We can try to frame such disruptions as environmental intervention or through the lens of philosophy or biopolitics, but regardless the animals persist beyond our comprehension in reminding us that we too are part of an animal world. Animals see our technologies and machines as invasive beings and, in a nonlinguistic but nonetheless intensive mode of communicating with us, resist our attempts to control them and diminish their habitats. In doing so, they expose the environmental injustices and vulnerabilities in our systems.
A witty, informative, and captivating work—at the juncture of posthumanism, animal studies, phenomenology, and environmental studies—Broglio reminds us of our inadequacy as humans, not our exceptionalism.
Ron Broglio is professor of English, director of Desert Humanities, and associate director of the Institute for Humanities Research at Arizona State University. He is author or editor of several books, including Beasts of Burden: Biopolitics, Labor, and Animal Life and Surface Encounters: Thinking with Animals and Art.

The terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, took a large toll on America’s sense of security. In the dawn of this new era, Congress moved to take swift action by creating the Patriot Act. The stated goal was to identify and strike back against terrorists, but in practice, the law had much wider-reaching effects. But everything changed in 2013 when an intelligence contractor named Edward Snowden decided to expose the truth, leaking more classified documents than any whistleblower in American history.
This four-part series from American Scandal follows Edward Snowden’s transformation, from a respected intelligence officer, to the most wanted whistleblower in the world.
This is just a preview of Edward Snowden from American Scandal, but you can listen to the rest of this episode at wondery.fm/AS_IGWL.
We'll tell you about a criminal investigation into Rudy Giuliani and what he's saying about it before he's scheduled to testify this week.
Also, which well-known Republicans are on the ballot today, and which country became the first to offer free period products?
Plus, how pig skin could help millions of people see again, why some popular baby swings and rockers are now recalled, and which video streaming service will soon come free with a Walmart+ subscription.Â
More allies of former President Donald Trump will have to appear before a special grand jury in Georgia in the coming weeks, as part of the criminal investigation over possible attempts to interfere in the 2020 election. Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, is now a target of that probe.
And as millions of people across the country face the effects of extreme weather, a new poll finds that fewer Americans are concerned about how climate change will impact them personally.
And in headlines: the U.K. became the first country to approve an updated Covid vaccine that targets the Omicron variant, Brittney Griner’s lawyers appealed her conviction for drug possession, and a second attempt to recall L.A.'s progressive district attorney has failed.

Many questions remain unanswered since the FBI's Aug. 8 raid on the Florida home of former President Donald Trump.Â
"First of all, make no mistake about it. There are rules that the president is not supposed to keep records," veteran journalist and lawyer Greta Van Susteren says. "The public records—I'm talking about the non-classified ones—do belong for the most part to the American people, so they have to be turned over to the [National Archives]. Usually, when a president leaves office, they're sorted through and they decide what's the president should have, what shouldn't have."
"That's one group of documents. The second are our classified documents," Van Susteren adds. "And the question is, does [Trump] have classified documents? Clearly, he's not supposed to have classified documents. He's no longer in office. You have to make sure classified documents are in very secured places."
Van Susteren joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to dissect the FBI raid and the polarization surrounding it, China's growing aggression, and her new show, "The Record with Greta Van Susteren," on Newsmax TV.Â
