Podcasts about criminalizing

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rep Hakeem Jeffries is the George Wallace of our time – he opposes the principle of one person, one vote. Blue states like California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Mexico have used redistricting to minimize or eliminate Republican representation, creating districts where Republican votes effectively don't count. This practice is unconstitutional, denies equal voting rights regardless of race or gender and allows federal courts to do nothing. Also, Virginia is beginning to criminalize opposition to Islam due to growing Islamist influence in Northern Virginia, where Democrats collaborate closely with Islamists on issues like zoning, school curricula, and employment. Sen Saddam Azim Salem is prioritizing a bill defining Islamophobia as a form of assault and battery, arguing it is redundant given existing hate crime enhancements that cover assaults based on religion, race, ethnicity, and other factors. Do these protections apply equally to all groups? Afterward, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton trash our country overseas because they hate our country.  While our brave and patriotic military personnel stationed overseas are protecting the free world, they give aid and comfort to our enemies. And none of them have done anything for the betterment of our country. Later, tomorrow is the premiere of Mark's new video podcast - Liberty's Voice. This will complement the radio show and Fox TV program, aiming to expand reach, overlap audiences, and amplify the message.  Finally, Lt Gov Dan Patrick calls in to explains that Carrie Prejean Boller has been removed from President Trump's Religious Liberty Commission.  No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue.

On this episode of True Talk, we begin with a warning: Florida lawmakers are advancing a package of bills that do not merely intimidate Muslim Americans, but actively target and criminalize Muslim life, Islamic belief, and Muslim civic participation. These bills are moving quickly through the legislature, and there is a real possibility they will pass with little national attention.

Pakistan's Ahmadiyya Muslim community continues to be severely and systematically persecuted by the government. The Pakistani government has enacted a series of discriminatory laws and ordinances that restrict Ahmadiyya Muslims' ability to observe their faith, including identifying as Muslim. In the first half of 2025, spikes in targeted violence against the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Pakistan have contributed to a growing climate of fear. Authorities have increasingly prevented Ahmadiyya Muslims from sacrificing animals during Eid and have conducted “preventative arrests” ahead of the religious holiday.  On today's episode of the USCIRF Spotlight Podcast, USCIRF Commissioner Stephen Schenck speaks with Amjad Khan, a lawyer and spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, on the current situation for Ahmadiyya Muslims in Pakistan.With Contributions from:Veronica McCarthy, Public Affairs Specialist, USCIRF

"The pitting against each other of people who lack housing and people who have housing is so insidious and counterproductive."

Corporate media are now gesturing toward engaging questions of Israeli war crimes against Palestinians. But what does that amount to at this late date?

This week on CounterSpin: Media are focused on public protests in LA but seem less interested in what's making people angry. That's in part about the federal government's stated bid to capture and eject anyone who they determine “opposes U.S. foreign policy.” Protesters and witnesses and journalists in LA aren't being shot at and thrown around and sent to the hospital because they disagree with U.S. policy, we're told, but because they're interfering with the federal agents carrying out that policy. See how that works? If you don't, and it worries you, you're far from alone. We hear from Chip Gibbons, policy director at Defending Rights and Dissent, about the critical case of Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil, held without warrant in a detention facility in Louisiana since March, for voicing support for Palestinian lives. There's an important legal development, but just like with ICE sweeps around the country, how meaningfully Khalil's case ultimately translates will have to do with us. If the goal were to “get rid of” unhoused people, the answer would be to house them. It's cheaper than jailing people for being homeless, so if it's those “taxpayer dollars” you care about, this would be plan A. Why isn't it? We hear from Farrah Hassen, policy analyst, writer and adjunct professor in the Department of Political Science at Cal Poly Pomona.   The post Chip Gibbons on Freeing Mahmoud Khalil / Farrah Hassen on Criminalizing Homelessness appeared first on KPFA.

Tonight, on this explosive, educational, investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up we will explore in-depth the issues of:— The treatment of migrants & refugees— Criminal Immigration— How the radical right-wing politicized and took advantage of the death of Laken Riley when in reality they really didn't give a single, solitary care about her — taking advantage of and using her death as a political football.With this, our 95th episode, we are now heard in 122 countries around the globe.Again, we challenge you to listen and think critically to this episode. With the recent passing of Pope Francis, at the age of 88, on Monday April 21st -- the day after the Christian world celebrates Easter — we wanted to examine in-depth the “theory” of those people who claim to be “Christian” yet use race, color and country of origin as a sledge-hammer for fascism.Whether they claim to be:—  Christian Nationalists—  Christian Fascists—  Christian Conservatives—  EvangelicalsYou name it … people who claim to be “doing the work of Jesus Christ” while steadily:—  Denigrating—  Persecuting and prosecuting migrants … the foreign born—  LGBTQ individuals and—  People of color.“Othering” pretty much everyone who isn't them.April 30th marked 100 days of Donald Trump's second term — over the past three months, the president has issued more than 100 executive orders that aim to bypass Congress and change policy through unilateral action.  His administration has:— Imposed sweeping tariffs on virtually every country in the world— Withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization— Declared a national emergency at the southern border— It has purported to rewrite election rules and end birthright citizenship.— It is attacking major law firms and universities and much, much more.But we ask, has this flurry of orders affected fundamental change?To date, there have already been 46 challenges to executive orders pending in court, and the administration has had no outright victory in any of them.  Judges appointed by presidents of both parties have put the brakes on Trump's fascist plans for change.Will the courts continue to thwart his lawless agenda?This is a pivotal moment in the history of this country that will affect it for all time going forward — as the Trump administration strives to keep the politics of fear and panic alive.Without fear or favor we follow the facts and tackle the topics that touch your lives.Tune in for all of the explosive details.

In Indiana last year, 30 people were killed and more than one thousand five hundred were injured in work zones. A bill signed by Governor Mike Braun expands the kinds of opioid-reversing medications that can be stocked in schools. Legislation that could fine and jail people sleeping on public land was removed from another bill, shortly before the end of session. Health officials are worried about language included in Indiana's budget bill that requires some health funds only be used for Indiana residents who are U.S. citizens.

Practicing internist and psychiatrist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article "Criminalizing care: How the system turned on physicians." He argues that physicians, historically pillars of trust, are increasingly being targeted and criminalized under regulations like the Controlled Substances Act and health care fraud statutes. Muhamad details several cases, including those of Drs. Sachy, Kousa, and Anand, as well as his own acquittal on federal fraud charges, to illustrate how medical judgment and complex patient care are being conflated with criminal activity. He critiques the tactics used, such as aggressive federal investigations, flawed audits, data manipulation in PDMPs, inflammatory press releases ("dirty doctors"), and a perceived erosion of the presumption of innocence, noting that only 0.4 percent of federal defendants are found not guilty. Muhamad highlights the devastating personal and professional consequences for physicians and the disruption to patient care, calling for urgent reforms including clearer guidelines, prosecutorial accountability, DEA process reform, and equal application of due process to end the war on healers.

This week on CounterSpin: We're learning from Jonah Valdez at the Intercept that the Trump administration is now revoking visas and the immigration status of hundreds of international students under the Student Exchange and Visitor Program — not just those active in pro-Palestinian advocacy or those with criminal records of any sort. It is, says one immigration attorney, “a concerted effort to go after people who are from countries and religions that the Trump administration wants to get out of the country.” Dara Lind is senior fellow at the American Immigration Council. She joins us this week on the show. Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look back at coverage of the Hands Off! protests.   The post Dara Lind on Criminalizing Immigrants appeared first on KPFA.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with German journalist Hanno Hauenstein about Germany's memory culture and the treatment of the Holocaust as a unique historical event, as compared to the genocide of the Herero and Nama people and others. They discuss the idea of Germany's Staatrason - or reason for being - which has been characterized as protecting Israel, right or wrong as well as and Hanno's work in the Guardian which highlights the criminalization of Palestine-related speech and the unprecedented effort to deport EU citizens for their Palestine advocacy. Read Hanno's new piece in the Guardian, "Germany is now deporting pro-Palestine EU citizens. This is a chilling new step" (4/3/25) and in +972 Magazine, "Germany moves to deport four foreign residents for pro-Palestine activism," (4/1/25). Hanno Hauenstein is a Berlin-based independent journalist and author. His work has appeared in publications including The Guardian, The Intercept, and Berliner Zeitung. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine.

He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

In this conversation, Jojo Mehta, the head of Stop Ecocide International, discusses the concept of ecocide, its definition, and the importance of criminalizing severe environmental harm. She shares her journey into environmental advocacy, the global legislative progress, and the role of international law in addressing ecocide. The discussion highlights the cultural shifts needed to recognize the seriousness of ecological destruction and the potential impact of US politics on the movement. Mehta emphasizes the need for a global acknowledgment of ecocide as a serious crime and outlines future milestones for advocacy efforts. Takeaways Ecocide refers to severe and long-term harm to ecosystems. Criminalizing ecocide aims to create a moral stigma against environmental harm. Legislation is moving forward in various jurisdictions to address ecocide. International law can elevate serious environmental crimes to a new level of seriousness. Cultural shifts are necessary to recognize the value of nature. Ecocide law could restore the International Criminal Court's intended role. The US's non-membership in the ICC limits its influence on ecocide law. Advocacy for ecocide law is gaining momentum globally. The coalition of victim countries is crucial for advancing ecocide law. Future milestones include expanding diplomatic conversations and legal frameworks.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The right wing has gotten much more overt about their intention to defeat the prospect of multiracial democracy, as demonstrated by its latest weaponized trope—the “DEI hire.”

On this week's Economic Update, Professor Wolff discusses a huge victory for Uber and Lyft drivers' struggling for better wages in Massachusetts; we also bring to your attention six United States senators who criticized Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase for failing to curb fossil fuel investments as he promised. In addition, we discuss the unfortunate new law passed by the new right-wing government in Greece extending the working week to six days.  Finally, we close our program with an Interview with longtime activist Rob Robinson, on the latest Supreme Court decision Grants Pass v. Johnson, which essentially criminalizes the homeless poor as part of its extreme right-wing change.    The d@w Team Economic Update with Richard D. Wolff is a DemocracyatWork.info Inc. production.

The Supreme Court has weighed in on homelessness for the first time in decades. The Economist's Steven Mazie tells us what the decision means, and Vox's Rachel Cohen has some ideas for tackling the problem. This show was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Miranda Kennedy, fact checked by Amanda Lewellyn and Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd and Andrea Kristinsdottir, and hosted by Julia Longoria.

Later this summer, the Supreme Court will rule on City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, one of the most important cases on homelessness to come up in a long time. The court will rule on whether someone can be fined, jailed, or ticketed for sleeping or camping in a public space when they're homeless and have nowhere else to go. We talk to Atlantic writer and Good on Paper host Jerusalem Demsas about the case and what it may or may not solve. Homelessness has exploded since the 1980s, mostly in cities where housing costs have gone up. Criminalizing—or not criminalizing—people sleeping in public does not change the fact that many people have no other option, and that people who do have places to sleep can't help but notice their cities have a huge homelessness problem.
