On COI #824, Kyle Anzalone breaks down the latest news from Ukraine, China, and the Middle East.

On May 15, international legal experts Lara Elborno, Richard Falk, and Penny Green joined me to discuss the work of the Gaza Tribunal, a group devoted to creating an archive of facts and a set of documents and arguments to help international civil society fight against the genocide in Gaza and the Zionist regime that, along with the United States, has perpetrated this atrocity.  Today they all return to update us. They present a grim picture of what they call the final phase of genocide and note both the overwhelming global support for Palestine and the concurrent repression against advocacy and protest.

In the land of the Condor, near the base of the tallest mountain in the Western hemisphere, an Incan community lived. The people hunted, along the sheer hillsides, they farmed, they collected water from the river gushing from snowmelt. They had children, built families, and passed on traditions to generations of descendants.The land was cold, inhospitable, but their village grew and their community thrived at the far Southern reaches of the vast Incan empire, in present-day Argentina. Today, centuries have passed, the people are gone, but the stones and dirt that made their homes remain. The stories and language of their ancestors have been lost to time. But their spirits remain. And the ruins remember.This is episode 60 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

The frontline workers are intimately involved with every aspect of the day, so if they bring up things that aren't right or that are having a negative impact, that conversation needs to be had. The advocacy of physicians and healthcare workers needs to be supported, not fall on deaf ears, but be truly heard.

Die Ausgabe „Umbau des Rechtsstaats von rechts“ beleuchtet, wie rechte Akteure den Rechtsstaat umdeuten und für ihre Zwecke instrumentalisieren. Gemeinsam mit mir auf der Bühne in Berlin diskutieren Maximilian Steinbeiß, Gründer des Verfassungsblogs und Autor von „Die verwundbare Demokratie“, Marjam Samadzade, Richterin am Amtsgericht Ratzeburg und ehemalige Staatssekretärin im Ministerium für Soziales, Jugend, Familie, Senioren, Integration und Gleichstellung des Landes Schleswig-Holstein, und Alexander Schwarz, Völkerrechtler und Co-Programmleiter des Bereichs Völkerstraftaten und internationale Verantwortung am ECCHR.

Can healing yourself really help heal the world?This week, Thomas sits down with Amandine Roche, a human rights and women's empowerment expert with more than 20 years of experience with the United Nations and European Union. Amandine's extensive work in conflict zones worldwide was driven by a deep, personal quest for healing from childhood trauma. But the work itself took a toll on her mental and physical health, leading her on a journey of healing that uncovered an essential core truth that she now works to spread: we must have inner peace if we want to work for outer peace.Amandine shares beautifully honest details from her own personal struggles and offers a unique perspective on embracing femininity in human rights work and all forms of leadership. She and Thomas explore the need for collective spaces and new skills to digest world events and prevent the repetition of painful social and political patterns.It's an empowering conversation that highlights the absolute necessity of self-alignment and inner healing in humanitarian work and any type of effort toward peace and harmony in a world in crisis.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Editor Brian Kuan Wood talks to Evan Calder Williams about his e-flux journal essay series, “On Paralysis.” Recorded in May 2025 before the launch of e-flux journal issue #152, the conversation discusses stoppage, sabotage, disability, delay, and damage, as well as the critical tools the “On Paralysis” series finds in the hidden intimacies between limited movement and expressive power.  Read all four installments of the series here: Part One, Part Two, Part Three, and Part Four.    Paralysis has become a term and idea inseparable from contemporary understandings of subjectivity, infrastructure, politics, and war. Conjuring associations of indecision, physical immobility, and trauma, it names a breakdown of the normal processes of circulation and information that promise systemwide health and seamless flow. But what if the very smoothness of these circuits of production is precisely what debilitates human bodies and broader systems of relay and exchange? And what are the potentials for refusal and unexpected agency that can be found in the interval when nothing works like it's supposed to? Evan Calder Williams is an associate professor at the Center for Curatorial Studies for Bard College, where he also teaches in the Human Rights program. He is the author of the books Combined and Uneven Apocalypse; Roman Letters; Shard Cinema; and, forthcoming with Sternberg Press, Inhuman Resources. He is the translator, with David Fernbach, of Mario Mieli's Towards a Gay Communism and is a Contributing Editor to e-flux journal, as well as a former member of the editorial collective of Viewpoint Magazine.

Send us a textStefania Grimaldi works with the social cooperative La Collina in Trieste Italy.  This particular social cooperative was formed in 1988 and employees 200 people, 35 percent of which are considered “disadvantaged.”   In this episode, we briefly explore the origins of the social cooperative network in Trieste – starting with the first one called the Basaglia SC, which was features recently in a movie called 50 Years of CLU. We explore the two different types of social cooperatives – Type A and Type B.  In particular, we are interested in the Type B social cooperative because e they train and employ people who fall int the disadvantaged sector – which can involve physical and mental disability, substance use addiction and past experience with incarceration. What is interesting is how the social cooperative must operate like a business and coimpete in the market place to secure contracts to provide labor and services.  La Collina will be competing with other private entities – and therefore their workforce must be up to the job. We explore their pathway to work which involves mentoring and internship before full employment status is achieved.   The cost of the internship is underwritten by the health agency, ASUGI.   The take-aways for an American audience are threefold:·       Work is a human right, guaranteed by the UN Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on Rights for Persons with Disabilities.  ·       So-called disadvantaged workers can achieve full employment and pursue their life aspirations·       The proper supports must be in place to ensure people are trained and prepared to pursue their employment goals  

✦ What's the unlikeliest place you can think of to start a podcast? Well, back in 2016, the creatives behind the hit podcast Ear Hustle launched their show from inside California's San Quentin State Prison. Their goal? To tell first-hand true stories of life during and after incarceration. The show is co-hosted by Earlonne Woods, who spent over 20 years in prison, and Nigel Poor, who first came to San Quentin as a photography instructor. The duo will be hosting a live taping of "Ear Hustle" at Terminal West on August 5, and they recently sat down with City Lights Collective co-host Kim Drobes to discuss what's in store. ✦ The Atlanta spoken word community is going through an extremely tough time. Actor, musician, spoken word poet, and brother to all, Malcolm Jamal Warner, suddenly and tragically passed away last week. To honor and celebrate his life, his art, and his legacy, a collection of some of the best poets in the nation, including Grammy award winner J Ivy, Tony award winner GA Me, Theresa Tha Songbird, Abyss, Queen Sheba, and many others are performing at City Winery tomorrow. Doors are at 11a.m. and the performances take place from Noon to 3pm. ✦ Tossing bean bags or rolling bocce balls—it's the kind of simple fun that can make you feel like a kid again. Only this time, maybe you've got a beer in hand. The Atlanta Cornhole and Bocce League is all about bringing that playful energy to a local pub near you. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans shares more on how these outdoor games are turning weeknights into something worth showing up for. ✦ The Pan African Festival returns on August 16 with the theme of Liberation Rising: Remember, Resist, Rejoice. Created by the Beacon Hill Black Alliance for Human Rights, this is the festival's 5th year, and the event promises to bring music, food, dance, and discussion to the heart of Decatur. The Alliance's co-chair is Fonta High, and when City Lights Collective member Katina Pappas-DeLuca recently caught up with her, the leader began by explaining the organization's history and mission. ✦ Could the key to advancing AI, educating under-resourced youth, and even healing the divisions of our country lie in hip hop? Author Manny Faces thinks so. A longtime advocate for hip-hop culture and academia, Faces speaks with experts and explores this concept in his new book, "Hip Hop Can Save America!"

La solution à deux États, israélien et palestinien, est-elle le seul chemin pour parvenir à la paix au Proche-Orient ? Pour la France, il n'y a pas d'autre alternative. Après Emmanuel Macron, le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Jean-Noël Barrot, l'a répété haut et fort hier à New York, lors de l'ouverture de la conférence sur la solution à deux États. Libération à Paris applaudit : « c'est l'honneur de la France de s'engager dans la voie de cette reconnaissance d'un État palestinien. L'argument utilisé contre le président français, qui consiste à dire que ce serait un cadeau fait aux terroristes, n'est pas audible. (…) Emmanuel Macron fait le pari que son activisme va entraîner une réaction en chaîne, notamment du côté des États arabes de la région, à commencer par l'Arabie saoudite. Et peut-être la Grande-Bretagne, qui connaît bien le dossier ». Et Libération de citer l'historien et ancien ambassadeur d'Israël en France Elie Barnavi : « entre le Jourdain et la mer, il y a 7 millions d'Israéliens et 7 millions de Palestiniens. Ces deux peuples sont là pour durer et aucun n'ira ailleurs. Cette réalité-là, ni Netanyahu, ni Trump, ni le Hamas, ni personne ne pourra rien y changer ». Lundi, le quotidien de gauche israélien Haaretz abondait en ce sens : « Macron a raison : seule une solution à deux États, dans laquelle un État palestinien serait établi, permettrait une vie normale aux deux nations vivant entre la Méditerranée et le Jourdain ». Ne pas rester les bras croisés Pour sa part, L'Orient-Le Jour à Beyrouth ne se fait aucune illusion sur la portée des débats en ce moment à New York : « si la conférence onusienne pourrait isoler davantage Israël sur la scène internationale ainsi que son allié américain, rares sont les observateurs à estimer qu'elle aura un impact sur la conclusion d'un cessez-le-feu à Gaza et sur l'avenir de la question palestinienne, du moins tant que Tel-Aviv disposera du soutien inconditionnel de son allié américain et premier fournisseur d'armes ». Pour le chercheur Hussein Ibish, de l'Arab Gulf States Institute, cité par le quotidien libanais, « ni la France ni l'Arabie saoudite ne se bercent d'illusions en croyant que cela changera la donne ou constituera un tournant international. Ce qu'elles espèrent, c'est envoyer un message aux Israéliens et au reste de la communauté internationale pour leur faire comprendre qu'elles, au moins, ne sont pas disposées à rester les bras croisés et à ne rien faire pendant que Gaza brûle et qu'Israël s'achemine vers une annexion potentielle de la Cisjordanie occupée qui détruirait la paix ». « Coup de pub » De leur côté, pointe le Washington Post, « les États-Unis et Israël boycottent la conférence de l'ONU sur une solution à deux États. Le département d'État qualifie cette réunion de “coup de publicité“ qui sape les efforts diplomatiques actuellement déployés par les États-Unis pour trouver la paix ». Reste, poursuit le Post, qu'il « est dans l'intérêt national de l'Amérique de mettre fin aux combats. Ce serait un pas important vers la normalisation des relations d'Israël avec d'autres voisins arabes. (…) Des solutions créatives sont nécessaires. Il s'agit notamment d'aborder les points d'achoppement les plus difficiles, à savoir la mise en place d'une future autorité gouvernante pour Gaza en remplacement du Hamas, associée à des garanties de sécurité pour Israël. Il ne faut plus jamais laisser des civils innocents mourir de faim, conclut le Washington Post, alors que les combattants sont à la recherche d'une paix insaisissable ». Génocide… En attendant, de plus en plus de voix s'élèvent pour dénoncer les crimes commis à Gaza. Dans un entretien au quotidien suisse Le Temps, Elisa von Joeden-Forgey, la directrice de l'institut Lemkin, affirme clairement qu'un génocide est aujourd'hui en cours à Gaza. Une position qui fait écho à celle de deux ONG israéliennes B'Tselem et Physicians for Human Rights, dont les dirigeants affirment que « l'armée israélienne poursuit à Gaza une politique intentionnelle de destruction de la société palestinienne. En d'autres mots, Israël commet un génocide ». Leur interview est à lire dans Le Monde. « Les actions de l'armée à Gaza, précisent-ils, correspondent à la définition de trois des cinq actes, qui, commis dans l'intention de détruire totalement ou partiellement un groupe national, ethnique, racial ou religieux, sont constitutifs du crime de génocide ». À savoir : « meurtres de membres du groupe, atteinte grave à leur intégrité physique ou mentale, et soumission intentionnelle à des conditions d'existence menant à la destruction physique ».

For the first time, two leading Israeli human rights organisations, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, have accused their own country of committing genocide in Gaza. In reports published on Monday, they said “Israel is taking co-ordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip" and that it is “systematic” in its targeting of Gaza's healthcare infrastructure. Israel has denied the allegation and has called the case "wholly unfounded" and based on "biased and false claims". Also: The BBC's International Editor Jeremy Bowen views Gaza from above in one of the Jordanian planes delivering aid from the sky, the investigation into a deadly mass shooting in Ecuador, and why Catholic influencers are gathering in Rome.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

On the Northeastern Brazilian coast, in the region of Alcântara, Maranhão, there are dozens of traditional villages of Black communities. Their families have lived here for generations — farming and fishing. They are known as quilombos. These villages were founded by their ancestors, who were either freed or who escaped enslavement on the plantations of Brazil.There are thousands of quilombos across Brazil. But only a small number have the titles to their lands. And many are under threat from development projects, resource extraction, Big Ag, and real estate. This was the story in Alcântara, where these communities have faced removal and threats from Brazil's Alcântara Space Center. But they have fought back.This is episode 59 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Human Costs of War: 21st Century Human (In)Security from 2003 Iraq to 2022 Ukraine (Taylor & Francis, 2024) documents and analyses the direct and indirect toll that war takes on civilians and their livelihoods, taking a human security approach exploring personal, economic, political and community security in Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine, in the contexts of the War on Terror and the New Cold War. The book offers an understanding of war through the recording and comprehension of its civilian casualties and evaluates whether the force used has been proportionate to the threat that prompted it and the concern for human welfare. In the 21st century, the power of the USA has declined, while countries such as China and India become more powerful. The global power balance has been altered in a fundamental way towards a multi-polar world system, with the West no longer able to enforce its policies abroad. Regional and global governance are not assured, and devastating wars have taken a heavy toll in terms of death, poverty and displacement, which feed into the cycle of long-term insecurity. The authors argue that it is important for any conflict to be understood not only in terms of the perpetrators of violence, or of the political and economic reasons behind it, but also in terms of its impact on the civilian population and their security, focusing on conflicts in the Middle East which followed 9/11 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The book will be of interest to academics, the public, the media, security agencies and international organisations. It will be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of International Relations, International Law, Security, Politics, Policing, Human Rights, Ethics, Peace Studies, Eastern Europe, American Studies and the Middle East.

On July 22, 2025, Winooski School District Superintendent Wilmer Chavaria was detained and questioned by federal agents for four and a half hours at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Wilmer is a US citizen and despite holding valid travel documents and a Global Entry pass, he was neither told why he was being held nor given any explanation when his pass was subsequently revoked by email. Wilmer is a previous guest on our podcast and did an episode with us last spring titled “Immigration is a Human Right”. Today we are bringing you an interview with Wilmer about his recent detention and a re-release of his original episode. Please note- due to the urgent nature of this content we wanted to expediate the release of this episode, so we are pushing it out on our streaming platforms before adding it to our webpage and archive webpage. Transcript & show notes are coming soon to https://vermontcwtp.org/podcast/

Human Costs of War: 21st Century Human (In)Security from 2003 Iraq to 2022 Ukraine (Taylor & Francis, 2024) documents and analyses the direct and indirect toll that war takes on civilians and their livelihoods, taking a human security approach exploring personal, economic, political and community security in Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine, in the contexts of the War on Terror and the New Cold War. The book offers an understanding of war through the recording and comprehension of its civilian casualties and evaluates whether the force used has been proportionate to the threat that prompted it and the concern for human welfare. In the 21st century, the power of the USA has declined, while countries such as China and India become more powerful. The global power balance has been altered in a fundamental way towards a multi-polar world system, with the West no longer able to enforce its policies abroad. Regional and global governance are not assured, and devastating wars have taken a heavy toll in terms of death, poverty and displacement, which feed into the cycle of long-term insecurity. The authors argue that it is important for any conflict to be understood not only in terms of the perpetrators of violence, or of the political and economic reasons behind it, but also in terms of its impact on the civilian population and their security, focusing on conflicts in the Middle East which followed 9/11 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The book will be of interest to academics, the public, the media, security agencies and international organisations. It will be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of International Relations, International Law, Security, Politics, Policing, Human Rights, Ethics, Peace Studies, Eastern Europe, American Studies and the Middle East.

John Maytham is joined by renowned human rights activist Mark Heywood to unpack a growing global movement that challenges not poverty alone, but the unchecked accumulation of extreme wealth. At the heart of the argument is this: in a world where over 800 million people live in extreme poverty, can we justify the rise of billionaires — and now, the inevitable trillionaire? Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

US-mediated talks between Israel and Syria serve as a bellwether for the extent to which Israel can reshape the Middle East and impose its will on the region. They also are likely to indicate the degree to which US and Israeli interests diverge in Syria. Syrian Foreign Minister Assad al-Shaiibani and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a confidante of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, focussed this week on security arrangements in southern Syria in a round of talks in Paris chaired by Tom Barrack, the US Ambassador to Turkey and the Trump administration's Syria envoy. The talks were the highest-level meeting between officials of the two countries in 25 years and the first since the latest clashes in the southern Syrian city of As-Suwayda between the country's Druze minority, Bedouin militias, and Syrian security forces, and Israel's bombing of military targets, including the defence ministry, in the capital Damascus. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the clashes' death toll at 1,399 people, 196 of whom were summarily executed. Mr. Netanyahu dispatched Mr. Dermer to Paris following several meetings in Azerbaijan between Mr. Al-Shaibani and the prime minister's national security advisor, Tzachi Hangebi, that fuelled Israeli and US hopes that security arrangements could be a first step toward Syrian recognition of Israel. The Paris talks are likely to establish whether Israel can dictate to President Ahmed al-Sharaa where in Syria his military can operate and the degree to which Israel can successfully project itself as the protector of Syrian minorities, such as the Druze, a secretive monotheistic group based In Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel, and the Kurds in the north.

Civil rights are under attack. The Supreme Court seems to have its sights set on the Voting Rights Act. The Trump administration, meanwhile, is taking every issue to the court knowing that it will never have to face accountability there. And with states like Texas considering unpopular redistricting plans, the administration may never face it at the ballot box either. Put more bluntly, many of our elected officials are operating with a perceived immunity from accountability of any sort. This week Dahlia spoke about the deleterious effects of these actions on voting rights with Maya Wiley, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. They discuss the damage done to our civil rights by the current Department of Justice, and what we can learn about accountability from recent developments in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.  Want more Amicus?

Is sacred space protective space? This question lies at the heart of the Sanctuary Movement. From the 1980s to the present, this practice has protected undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation by offering them refuge in churches, where federal immigration agents to this day still fear to tread. In this lecture, Lloyd Barba, Assistant Professor of Religion and Core Faculty in Latinx and Latin American Studies at Amherst College, asks how these houses of worship in the 1980s protected migrants from immigration enforcement authorities. What histories and testimonies rendered such spaces sacred and lent houses of worship qualities of safe refuge? And what is the applicability of these practices today?

Cori returns from San Francisco with brief tales of the Endocrine Society before launching into crazy population projections (AGAIN) and then making some rather provocative arguments. What are Human Rights? Can children consent to irreversible decisions? Is the individual the most important unit of society? Are women never competent?

UNRWA warns of ‘walking corpses' in Gaza  Afghan returnees face serious rights abuses: UN report UN rights chief welcomes landmark climate change ruling 

The Truth Is Simple. The Problems Aren't. | Karel Cast 25-103 We keep acting like these crises are too complicated to solve—but they're not. People in Gaza are starving? Feed them. Trump hiding in Epstein's files? Assume it, act on it. Climate change? Cut meat, ditch fossil fuels, now. ICE doing illegal raids? Law enforcement, shut it down. It's not complex—it's corruption, politics, and profits that get in the way. Karel lays it out: straight talk, no spin. Because sometimes the clearest path is the one we keep refusing to take.

A Canadian lawyer representing small island states most affected by climate change calls it an "extraordinary day" after a major ruling by the UN's highest court. Rare protests in Ukraine call out new legislation that brings some of the country's anti-corruption bodies under the president's control.An Alberta woman describes seeing her infant daughter suffer from a case of measles. She's sharing her story in the hopes that more parents will vaccinate their kids. South Australia's Premier tells us why the state's near-total ban on political donations is the only real solution to the undue influence of money in politics -- and says other democracies should follow suit. Elvis Evolution promised ticket holders a performance by a life-sized, AI-powered hologram of Elvis himself. But what they delivered was ... definitely not that.And... Balancing the scales.

In this engaging episode of the Psychedelics Today podcast, host Joe Moore sits down with Karina Bashir, an attorney working at the intersection of law, business ethics, and psychedelics. Karina, of counsel with Antithesis Law and an active member of the psychedelic community, shares her unique journey from human rights advocacy into the evolving field of psychedelic law. The conversation explores her presentation at Harvard on psychedelics and monotheistic religions, and her efforts to bridge the gap between Islamic communities and psychedelic-assisted healing. She discusses the legal frameworks she navigates to support clients in the psychedelic ecosystem, the spiritual depth of Sufism, and the expansive tradition of Islamic philosophy and mysticism. If you're intrigued by the intersections of religion, law, and psychedelic healing, this episode offers deep insights and hopeful perspectives.
