Is language adequate to describe the harsh reality of incarceration? Which words are used too often, too lazily, not often enough? We’ll hear from four people who are writers, journalists, and professors, approaching these subjects surrounding incarceration from different angles; Sarah Wang, Aviva Stahl, Nicole R. Fleetwood, Madhu Kaza. They read and talk with AAWW's Prisons Editor Daniel A. Gross about the evolving language of 2019 and the way it shapes lives, going in-depth on subjects such as how bureaucratic prison language invalidates and harms trans people, the stigma of a murder conviction, how to use alternative language to subvert carceral language, and much more.

This week on Margin Call, we speak with Victoria Law and Aviva Stahl, two journalists who have reported on the experiences of trans people in jails and prisons in the United States. In the course of our conversation, we explore some of the indignities, injustices, and inconsistencies that occur when trans-identified people are locked up.

In this episode from the Straight Up archive, journalists Aviva Stahl and Nida Khan join host Jarrett Murphy from City Limits to discuss terrorist attacks on foreign soil, Islamophobia here at home, the Islamic State, and the war on terror. This conversation was recorded in December, 2015, but how events in other countries play into our national politics couldn't be more relevant than it is right now. How does terrorism abroad affect the counter-terrorism efforts made by the U.S.? And how has media coverage of these events changed in the past 12 months? Tune in and find out. ••••

It’s our ‘Chai’ episode! We started it off talking about Italian Eurocommunism and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA). We were then joined by Josh Nathan Kazis, a staff writer at the Jewish Daily Forward, to talk about a growing scandal in New York City politics, reaching from the Mayor’s office to the orthodox communities of Borough Park and Williamsburg. This episode contained a description-free Shkoyach, featuring discussions of kosher labelling, kosher restaurant month, and the contentious subject of raisin challah. For the interview, we talked about the Jews of Color National Convening with conference organizer Leo Ferguson and Montreal activist Hirut Eyob. Finally, Aviva Stahl’s recent article for Alternet’s Grayzone Project is our recommendation for the week. Show Notes: https://www.treyfpodcast.com/2016/05/26/episode-18/ *EDIT: during this week's Shkoyach segment, David convinced Sam that COR stood for 'Council of Orthodox Rabbis.' This is incorrect. It appears that COR is not an acronym at all, instead a mysterious shorthand used by the Kashruth Council of Canada to label their certified products. Please direct all questions their way.

Aviva Stahl, an independent journalist, talks about her story for the Gothamist on an NYPD undercover named "Mel," who infiltrated Brooklyn College. The undercover converted to Islam. She befriended students and even was in some of their bridal showers and wedding parties. Then, later, the students realized "Mel" was the undercover, who helped push two Queens women down the path to building a bomb so the FBI could arrest them. We talk about the operation and the NYPD's reaction to this story, which includes a ludicrous rejection of the idea that Muslims have ever before been subject to "blanket surveillance" by the city's police. During the discussion portion, Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola highlight the problems with think pieces suggesting all critics of Hillary Clinton are "Bernie Bros." They also discuss Shaker Aamer's case and read from a prison letter from Chelsea Manning to Gosztola.  

Aviva Stahl, an independent journalist, and Abraham Paulos, executive director of , address the growth of immigrant detention in the United States and United Kingdom. Stahl highlights how hunger strikes are a key form of resistance for immigrants in detention and how detention centers in the US and UK shut down resistance by immigrants. (She wrote about this in her  Paulos breaks down how immigrants are equated with criminals and the US history of being unwelcoming toward immigrants. He particularly focuses on the Immigration Act of 1964. He also addresses how difficult it is for immigrants to win asylum.

Kevin Gosztola of Firedoglake.com and Rania Khalek of the "Dispatches from the Underclass" blog are joined for the interview segment by Aviva Stahl, a journalist and contributor to The Nation. Kayyali discusses her recent story on how the British government is stripping dual citizens of their citizenship. These individuals are subsequently being attacked or targeted by US drones or, in some cases, they are being subject to rendition. At least one man ended up in a US prison in Manhattan.  During the discussion portion of the show, Gosztola and Khalek talk about former RT anchor Liz Wahl and the role that a neoconservative from Bill Kristol's think tank played in encouraging her to resign. They highlight the anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq and criticize the media for generally ignoring what the US did to the country and continues to do by supporting Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government and his brutal security forces.
