Send us a textEver noticed how a nation that engineers elaborate floating sanctuaries for alligators can't seem to design a humane immigration policy? Darrell McClain scathing commentary "America's Grand Tragic Comedy" dissects this jarring contradiction with surgical precision, revealing the absurdity of a country that provides reptiles with temperature-controlled pools and specialized diets while human beings in detention centers sleep on concrete floors and lack basic hygiene.The stark contrast serves as a powerful metaphor for contemporary America – a place where morning shows marvel at quirky alligator fortresses moments before showing footage of crying children separated from their parents during ICE raids. McClain argues these aren't simply unfortunate policy missteps but symptoms of a deeper national disease: the belief that cruelty, when draped in bureaucracy or spectacle, becomes justifiable.Amy Goodman and Dennis Moynihan follow with a devastating report on the Guadalupe River flood in Texas that claimed at least 120 lives, with over 150 still missing. Their investigation reveals how climate policy failures directly contributed to this tragedy. Despite warnings from the National Weather Service, local officials admitted they had no warning system in place. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has gutted critical climate programs while extending billions in tax breaks to fossil fuel companies – policies that virtually guarantee more deadly extreme weather events in the future.Both segments illuminate how American contradictions cost lives. Whether building alligator fortresses while tearing apart immigrant families or signing fossil fuel-friendly legislation while communities drown, these juxtapositions reveal a nation that has lost its moral compass. The question remains: will we confront the rot at the heart of our systems, or continue engineering new absurdities, each more grotesque than the last? Share your thoughts on these critical issues and join the conversation about America's priorities. Support the show

Back in 2007, General Wesley Clark went on “Democracy Now!” with Amy Goodman and told a story of a memo that he saw that listed seven different countries that the United States was going to take out over the course of five years. Besides it being a psychotic idea by a group of blood-thirsty warmongers, it was very revealing as to the aspirations of the American Empire in remaking the map of the Middle East and North Africa. The roadmap of destruction started with Iraq back in 2003 and continued in almost the exact order that Clark relayed during his interview, with Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and lastly, Iran. As the push towards World War 3 intensifies, the questions about why America feels the need to be involved will only increase. Is this an ideological push, a factor of security arrangements between nations, or is it just about the oil?

Send us a text Since it's founding in 1996, Jewish Voice for Peace has advocated for Palestinian freedom and an end to Israeli occupation, apartheid and war. In early May, JVP held its first national meeting since 2017.  Some 2,000 members attended the national meeting in Baltimore, which JVP said was the largest gathering of anti-Zionist Jews in history. The convention drew well-known figures including Angela Davis, writer Naomi Klein, Congressman Rashida Tlaib, journalist Amy Goodman and others to discuss and organize how  to end U.S. support for the ongoing genocide in Gaza in the face of increasing government repression.  This episode airs some of  the speeches from that meeting. It  includes remarks by Stephanie Fox, executive director of JVP, and Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a board-certified  emergency medicine physician  at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Chicago who has provided emergency care to wounded patients in Gaza. 

Ben Luke talks to Huma Bhabha about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Bhabha was born in 1962 in Karachi, Pakistan, and has been based in the US since 1981—she now lives in Poughkeepsie, New York state. She has achieved a profoundly individual figurative sculptural language, exploring the rich history of her medium while also looking to the future. Informed by ancient monuments, Modernist sculpture and an array of other artforms, Huma employs various sculptural traditions—from modelling with clay, to carving, to found-object assemblage—to create figures that are monumental yet vulnerable, otherworldly yet rooted in the vicissitudes of contemporary geopolitics. Alongside her sculptures, Huma has made similarly powerful work in two-dimensions, particularly in combinations of drawing and collage. She reflects on the early and ongoing impact of Rembrandt on her work, her fascination with Pablo Picasso and Robert Smithson, the influence of the writing of Amy Goodman and Roberto Bolaño and how she has responded to the films of Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Negulesco. She also gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including: what is art for?Huma Bhabha—Encounters: Giacometti, Barbican, London, until 10 Aug; Huma Bhabha: Distant Star, 13 June-26 July.

It's been called the most influential protest you've never heard about. In April and May 1971, week-long protests rippled across Washington, DC. Thousands in the streets. Their slogan: “If the government won't stop the war, we'll stop the government.” The Nixon administration cracked down, arresting 7,000 people in just one day, and 12,000 people over the first week of May—the largest mass arrest in the history of the United States.This is episode 27 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

America loves true crime documentaries... especially if they are about serial killers. This week, I chat with true crime aficionado AMY GOODMAN KASS about her latest project, ""RICHARD RAMIREZ: THE NIGHT STALKER TAPES," which she executive produced and directed for PEACOCK, and we discuss why our country is obsessed with the stories of the worst of the worst. We dig into how Amy was able to take never-before-heard audio tapes from the notorious Night Stalker and bring them to life. Listen as Amy also shares her experiences working on other critically acclaimed projects like Showtime's "Love Fraud" and "Hollywood Black" (MGM+) and explains why it's important to explore other genres outside of true crime. And of course, we take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about our times attending the one and only Washington University in St. Louis. Lastly... Below are some links to GoFundMe pages for folks who have lost their homes as well as some other ways to donate to people or groups in need due to the wildfires. If you are able, please give these folks a few bucks. Thanks!
