In this episode of Satanists Nextdoor, Tommy and Lilin confront the tumultuous Texas border crisis and the broader harsh realities of our current political landscape through a Satanic lens. They challenge the status quo while advocating for a world where compassion and reason triumph over fear and manipulation.
Expect a candid discussion that cuts through the noise, tackling the political games surrounding the border, the vindictive anger of the GOP base, and the disturbing trend of using religion as a weapon. Tommy and Lilin don't hold back in calling out the absurdities and dangers of the current situation, including the manipulation of immigration narratives and the human cost at the border.
This episode is a call to action, urging listeners to look beyond the surface and understand the deeper currents shaping our society. It's a reminder that what's happening in Texas isn't just a local issue but a bellwether for national trends, with implications that reach far beyond the Lone Star State.
Join them as they navigate these complex issues with passion, insight, and their trademark touch of dark humor, staying true to their Satanic roots and commitment to standing up against tyranny and oppression.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
