In 1998, at the beginning of his esteemed career as an international human rights lawyer, Philippe Sands was invited to advise Augusto Pinochet as the Chilean dictator faced arrest in London. Instead, Philippe chose to act as a barrister for Human Rights Watch, where he uncovered the well-hidden connection between Pinochet and former SS commander Walther Rauff. In his latest book, part memoir and part detective story, Philippe draws on interviews and archives to link two of the most brutal regimes of the 20th century at the infamous 38 Londres Street in Santiago. This event was presented by the Sydney Writers' Festival and supported by UNSW Sydney.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A recent Human Rights Watch report found that illegal cattle ranching and clearing of the Amazon rainforest has led to the forced eviction of small farmers and indigenous people in the state of Pará, Brazil. We discuss the stakes for the planet and people, as well as possible solutions. Also, meat is the biggest single source of carbon emissions from the food system, which is itself responsible for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. We talk about the gap between reality and coverage of how meat contributes to global warming, as well as effective strategies for encouraging people to choose to eat less meat without trying to force them to do so. And David Brancaccio of Marketplace lost his home in the devastating Los Angeles fires this past January only two months after moving in. We check back in with David to hear about his hopes to rebuild with fire-resistant material. --- Federal funding for public radio has ended.

Allison and Noah talk about what the hell they make of the neither-fish-nor-foul liminal state we find ourselves in now and what the hell the future holds for us. Then they are joined by Danielle Haas, who for ten years was Human Rights Watch's only senior employee in Israel, to talk about bias in the Human-Rights-Industrial-Complex. For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: The government decides to rebrand the wretched conflict of the past two years as “The War of Resurrection” which, despite its Christological resonances, has got some people here seeing double. What's in a name?, we will ask. After all, that which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet. Or so they say, anyway. Plus, life after the holidays and matters Witkovian!
In mid-September, the UN issued a report stating that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel vehemently denies the charge. Genocide is the crime of crimes. It is a highly charged and loaded word. To verify it requires clear and unambiguous evidence. The term was coined by the Polish Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin. Genocide combines the Greek prefix “genos” (race, tribe) with the Latin suffix “cide” (killing). Lemkin was aware of the Armenian genocide carried out by the Turks earlier in the 20th century. During the Holocaust, he lost many family members. Lemkin and others were responsible for the Genocide Convention, which was passed unanimously by the UN in 1948. In addition to the recently released UN report, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, as well as two prominent Israeli rights organizations, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, declared that Israel's military actions in Gaza constitute genocide.

In 1977, American Nazis fought for the right to march in Skokie, Illinois—a town filled with Holocaust survivors—and won. Nearly fifty years later, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for jokes the government says went too far. What connects these moments? Host Ngofeen Mputubwele talks with Aryeh Neier—Holocaust survivor, former ACLU director, and Human Rights Watch co-founder—about why he once defended Nazis' right to march, and what that case reveals about protecting free speech and democracy today.

Around the world, young people are rising up and in some places, they're actually bringing down their governments. From Nepal to Madagascar, Gen Z protesters are fed up with corruption, inequality, and leaders who seem completely out of touch. They're organizing online, inspired by movements half a world away and somehow even united by a pirate flag from the anime One Piece. We talk to Meenakshi Ganguly, Deputy Asia Director at Human Rights Watch, about why this generation is taking to the streets, how these movements are learning from each other, and what their success could mean for democracy in the years ahead.
Tras el anuncio del martes sobre un nuevo ataque estadounidense frente a las costas de Venezuela, que dejó seis personas muertas, crecen las preocupaciones legales y los interrogantes sobre el marco jurídico de estas operaciones. El ataque, realizado en aguas internacionales en el Caribe, fue dirigido contra una embarcación que, según el gobierno de Estados Unidos, estaba vinculada a redes de narcotráfico. Cinco embarcaciones atacadas y 27 muertos desde septiembre. Estados Unidos afirma luchar contra el crimen organizado y las presuntas narcolanchas. Una amenaza para el país. Esta situación en aguas internacionales frente a las costas venezolanas preocupa. Para muchos observadores lo que está en juego es el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos. Juanita Goebertus, directora de la División de las Américas de Human Rights Watch, la ONG de Derechos Humanos, explica que en nada justifica legalmente estos ataques ya que “no existe un conflicto armado entre Estados Unidos y Venezuela, ni entre Estados Unidos y grupos de narcotráfico, con lo cual, lo que hay, el deber que existe, es un deber como funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley, de enfrentar presuntos criminales presuntamente vinculados con narcotráfico, frente a lo cual corresponde investigarlos, juzgarles y sancionarles. El uso de la fuerza debe ser la última ratio”. Ataques letales grabados y publicados directamente en la cuenta Truth Social de Donald Trump, que ponen de relieve el contexto jurídico global en el que se ejecutan estas operaciones militares. Leer tambiénTrump confirma que autorizó a la CIA a llevar a cabo operaciones en Venezuela “Yo creo que responde también a lo que hemos visto de manera más general de las decisiones que ha tomado Trump y el secretario de Defensa, ahora secretario de Guerra, en donde han removido de sus funciones a altos funcionarios del cuerpo jurídico militar, que son estos George Advocates, los encargados de revisar la legalidad de las operaciones”, explica Goebertus. Además se han tomado otras directivas que incluyen “que se va reducir considerablemente la supervisión de los ataques aéreos, que se va a flexibilizar las reglas de enfrentamiento, lo cual, pues otorga mayor margen para el uso de la fuerza letal sin la debida revisión legal que existía históricamente en varios niveles”, puntualiza. Otros países vecinos podrían verse afectados. En primer lugar, Trinidad y Tobago, que dice investigar la posible muerte de dos ciudadanos, dos pescadores de profesión que iban a bordo de la embarcación recientemente hundida por Estados Unidos y que dejó seis muertos.

Israel agrees to release thousands of Palestinian prisoners as the ceasefire holds. It has detained tens of thousands since its occupation of Palestine. Many have never been convicted of crimes. So why has Israel arrested that many Palestinians? And has this policy served its occupation? In this episode: Naji Abbas, Director, Prisoners and Detainees, Physicians for Human Rights Israel.

What's the scariest sound in a war zone? In Kherson, Ukraine, it isn't artillery or fighter jets—it's the faint buzz of a $200 quadcopter drone.

Survivors describe the terror of being hunted from above, and Human Rights Watch's Belkis Wille explains how drones are being misused to commit war crimes, what it could mean for civilians in future conflicts —and why we should be responding now.

About Etelle HigonnetEtelle Higonnet is a Yale-trained lawyer, environmental advocate, and human rights defender whose career spans war zones, rainforests, courtrooms, and global campaigns. She has worked with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Greenpeace, Mighty Earth, and the National Wildlife Federation, leading initiatives that tackle deforestation, climate change, and modern slavery.Fluent in multiple languages and honored by the French government, Etelle brings a rare combination of legal expertise, grassroots activism, and international diplomacy to her work. Today, as founder of Coffee Watch, she is taking on one of the world's most beloved commodities, exposing the deforestation, poverty, slavery, and human rights abuses hidden in global coffee supply chains—and pushing for a more just and sustainable industry.About this EpisodeIn this courageous and eye-opening episode of The Matrix Green Pill Podcast, host Hilmarie Hutchison speaks with Etelle Higonnet about her lifelong fight for justice—bridging human rights and environmental activism in some of the world's toughest arenas.Etelle recounts her early days in Guatemala, where she witnessed firsthand the dangers faced by human rights defenders during a fragile peace process. She shares the inspiration behind her book Quiet Genocide, her experiences working on war crimes tribunals, and why she believes we cannot have human rights on a dead planet.The conversation dives deep into the dark side of coffee production—child labor, forced labor, gender-based violence, and massive deforestation—and how Coffee Watch is mobilizing legal action, petitions, and global consumer awareness to transform the industry. Etelle explains how everyday choices, from signing petitions to buying ethical coffee, can create ripple effects powerful enough to change corporations and protect both people and the planet.From stories of personal resilience to bold visions of transforming agriculture and even the aviation industry, Etelle's journey is a call to action for all of us: justice and sustainability are inseparable, and every voice matters in building a fairer world.Quotes1:31 - My whole life I've really known that I wanted to work on human rights and mid-career I sort of had an awakening about the environment when I realized we wouldn't have any human rights on a dead planet. 1:50 - I really felt this deep calling actually to fight for people whose rights were being abused. 7:24 - My dream at the time was to write this with an eye to helping build momentum for justice. 10:55 - I've got to make sure the rest of my life goes towards fighting climate change and the human rights violations that are associated with it. 14:56 - If you drink coffee on the regular, there's a very high chance you're basically drinking slavery. 15:14 - Brazil has a huge coffee slavery and forced labor and labor abuse problem. 21:29 - Coffee Watch uploaded all the petitions that other people and organizations have created for sustainable coffee. So, you can just do a one-stop shop and click on all the petitions.22:26 - Spreading the word about the problems and the solutions means that you're an ambassador for good coffee. So, signing petitions kind of makes you a coffee ninja for justice, hosting screenings kind of makes you an ambassador for the truth about coffee.24:25 - It's usually only two or three cents extra per cup when you buy more ethical, more responsible, sustainable coffee. 27:44 - The coffee industry has become so great and now they're like doing regenerative aThe Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

Les trois pays de l'Alliance des États du Sahel (AES) – Burkina Faso, Mali et Niger – ont annoncé lundi leur retrait immédiat du traité de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI). Une décision radicale, justifiée par la dénonciation d'une « justice sélective » et d'un « instrument de répression néocoloniale. » « Ce retrait s'inscrit dans la stratégie souverainiste des trois pays sahéliens et leur rupture assumée avec les institutions occidentales, relève Afrik.com. Ces derniers mois, le Burkina, le Mali et le Niger se sont rapprochés de partenaires alternatifs, en particulier la Russie, dont le président Vladimir Poutine fait lui-même l'objet d'un mandat d'arrêt de la CPI, depuis le début du conflit en Ukraine. » Qui plus est, souligne encore Afrik.com, « l'annonce de ce retrait a lieu à un moment où les armées de l'AES sont accusées, par des ONG internationales, de graves violations des droits humains dans leur lutte contre les groupes terroristes affiliés à Al-Qaïda et à l'État islamique. » Dans l'ombre de Moscou L'influence de la Russie est manifeste, pointe Le Monde Afrique : « l'initiative des trois pays sahéliens a trouvé un écho sous la plume d'Oleg Nesterenko, décrit par Reporters sans frontières comme un “entrepreneur de l'influence russe à l'international“. Peu après l'annonce du retrait des trois pays de la CPI, il saluait la décision sur un site malien en ligne. “L'ère des puissances occidentales, autrefois campées en suzeraines vis-à-vis d'États africains réduits au statut de vassaux, est révolue et ne doit en aucun cas se reproduire“, écrivait-il. » « Fin avril, rappelle Le Monde Afrique, le vice-président du conseil de sécurité de Russie Dmitri Medvedev, envisageait la création d'un “organe juridique alternatif à la CPI“, qui serait établi par exemple dans le cadre des BRICS, disait-il, après avoir critiqué le mandat d'arrêt pour crimes de guerre émis en mars 2023 par la CPI contre Vladimir Poutine et cinq autres responsables russes de la guerre en Ukraine. » Une Cour pénale sahélienne des droits de l'Homme ? En attendant, poursuit Le Monde Afrique, « les trois États (de l'AES) ont annoncé la création d'une Cour pénale sahélienne des droits de l'homme pour y juger les crimes de masse, le terrorisme et le crime organisé, et la construction d'une prison de haute sécurité ». « Une Cour pénale sahélienne ! Pourquoi pas ? », s'exclame le quotidien Aujourd'hui au Burkina Faso. « L'idée fait son bonhomme de chemin. Elle pourrait d'ailleurs s'inspirer des Cours africaines de Dakar qui ont jugé Hissène Habré ou de la version des Gacaca du Rwanda ; en tout cas une justice endogène qui tiendrait compte des us et coutumes et des réalités sahéliennes. Loin des salles froides et aseptisées de la CPI, pourrait se substituer une justice rendue d'abord par les Africains sur le sol africain », martèle Aujourd'hui. En effet, pointe encore le quotidien burkinabé, « la CPI n'a jamais pu se défaire de cette image qui lui colle à la peau : celle d'une justice internationale pour juger les Africains. Jamais un Occidental n'a été devant les juges de La Haye à fortiori dans les 9 m² d'une cellule de Scheveningen. Ça fait tout de même bizarre ! », clame-t-il erronément. Désamorcer toute enquête gênante ? Reste, tempère Le Monde Afrique, que « la CPI n'enquête ni au Niger, ni au Burkina Faso, mais seulement au Mali. C'est Bamako qui l'avait saisi en juillet 2012, lors de l'occupation de Tombouctou et du nord du pays par les groupes jihadistes. Depuis, deux ex-cadres de la police du groupe Ansar Eddine ont été jugés et condamnés pour des crimes commis après la prise de Tombouctou en 2012. Et un mandat d'arrêt a été émis en 2017 contre Iyad Ag Ghali, l'émir du GSIM, l'un des plus puissants groupes jihadistes sahéliens. » « Mais les soupçons ne concernent pas seulement les groupes jihadistes, relève pour sa part Le Point Afrique : ONG et experts de l'ONU accusent aussi les forces armées burkinabè et maliennes d'exécutions sommaires de civils. Et pour WakatSéra, à Ouagadougou, cette rupture avec La Haye apparaît ainsi comme une façon de “désamorcer toute enquête gênante“ visant les armées locales. Human Rights Watch a, en effet, documenté plusieurs massacres imputés à ces forces, que la CPI aurait pu être amenée à examiner. »

Roger and Daniela arrived in the U.S. in January, conditionally approved as refugees. Hours later, she was deported. Roger vanished. When Rights & Wrongs first aired this story in May, it traced how a Venezuelan millennial with no criminal record ended up detained in El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act—a centuries-old wartime law now repurposed for mass deportations. In a stunning twist two months later, the Trump administration brokered a deal: 10 Americans held in Venezuela were exchanged for 252 Venezuelans imprisoned in El Salvador, including Roger. In this update, host Ngofeen Mputubwele recaps Roger's journey and speaks with him about what really happened inside El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison.

Casi una década después del acuerdo de paz, la JEP condenó por primera vez a siete exjefes de las FARC por más de 21.000 secuestros en Colombia. Cumplirán sanciones restaurativas y no irán a prisión. El análisis de Paula Vargas, directora de Justicia Transicional del Instituto de las Transiciones Integrales. La Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP) cerró uno de los capítulos más dolorosos de las últimas cinco décadas en Colombia. El tribunal, creado en 2016 para juzgar los crímenes cometidos durante el conflicto, condenó a siete exintegrantes del Secretariado de las FARC por implementar una política de secuestros en todo el país. Entre los sentenciados está su último comandante, conocido como Timochenko. Todos recibieron la máxima pena prevista en el acuerdo de paz: restricciones de movilidad y la obligación de realizar actividades restaurativas como la búsqueda de desaparecidos y la participación en procesos de desminado en los territorios donde operaron. Es una sentencia rodeada de interrogantes, comenta Paula Vargas, directora del área de Justicia Transicional del Instituto de las Transiciones Integrales. "La JEP contempló que los responsables pudieran adelantar, antes de la sentencia, trabajos considerados restaurativos por cuenta propia. Ahora bien, lo que sí es cierto es que no hay una respuesta clara sobre qué harán exactamente los comparecientes en términos restaurativos durante esos ocho años. Esa es precisamente una de las quejas tanto de los comparecientes de la fuerza pública como de las FARC", dice Vargas. La sentencia prevé acciones como la búsqueda de desaparecidos, la memoria y la reparación simbólica. Para ello se han propuesto proyectos ambiciosos, asegura la experta, aunque persisten dudas sobre su implementación. "Estas sentencias son un hito muy importante, pero es fundamental que no se queden en el papel. El riesgo es alto: los proyectos restaurativos son muy ambiciosos, pero no hay respuestas concretas sobre cómo se van a financiar. Tampoco se conoce en detalle cómo se implementará el monitoreo a los comparecientes", subraya. Ingrid Betancourt, humillada por decisión desconcertante La decisión de la JEP también generó críticas. La exdirigente política Ingrid Betancourt, quien estuvo secuestrada por las FARC, dijo sentirse "humillada" y "burlada" por la decisión del tribunal, que calificó de "desconcertante". Esto plantea la pregunta de si la sentencia satisface a las miles de víctimas de los 21.000 secuestros atribuidos a la guerrilla. Para Paula Vargas, la clave está en el contexto del acuerdo de paz: "Es una sentencia que emana de una justicia negociada. Antes del acuerdo, los niveles de impunidad eran inmensos. Las víctimas no tenían respuestas, no había verdad ni confesiones. Nadie se levantaba a decir: 'yo cometí este delito y lo cometí así'. Por eso, esta es la mejor justicia posible dentro de una justicia negociada", concluye. La JEP, cuya vigencia se extiende hasta 2037, deberá emitir sentencias sobre otros crímenes, incluidos los imputados a miembros de la Fuerza Pública por los llamados "falsos positivos". La ONU calificó la decisión como un "hito en los procesos de paz". Human Rights Watch, en cambio, criticó que aunque los excomandantes llevarán dispositivos electrónicos durante ocho años, la JEP "guardó silencio sobre el perímetro dentro del cual estarán restringidos de su libertad". El secuestro fue una de las heridas más profundas del conflicto en Colombia. Según la JEP, la retención más prolongada a manos de las FARC duró 14 años. Uno de los casos más emblemáticos fue el de la entonces candidata presidencial Ingrid Betancourt, secuestrada en 2002 junto a su jefa de campaña, Clara Rojas, quien dio a luz a un hijo durante más de seis años de cautiverio.
Casi una década después del acuerdo de paz, la JEP condenó por primera vez a siete exjefes de las FARC por más de 21.000 secuestros en Colombia. Cumplirán sanciones restaurativas y no irán a prisión. El análisis de Paula Vargas, directora de Justicia Transicional del Instituto de las Transiciones Integrales. La Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP) cerró uno de los capítulos más dolorosos de las últimas cinco décadas en Colombia. El tribunal, creado en 2016 para juzgar los crímenes cometidos durante el conflicto, condenó a siete exintegrantes del Secretariado de las FARC por implementar una política de secuestros en todo el país. Entre los sentenciados está su último comandante, conocido como Timochenko. Todos recibieron la máxima pena prevista en el acuerdo de paz: restricciones de movilidad y la obligación de realizar actividades restaurativas como la búsqueda de desaparecidos y la participación en procesos de desminado en los territorios donde operaron. Es una sentencia rodeada de interrogantes, comenta Paula Vargas, directora del área de Justicia Transicional del Instituto de las Transiciones Integrales. "La JEP contempló que los responsables pudieran adelantar, antes de la sentencia, trabajos considerados restaurativos por cuenta propia. Ahora bien, lo que sí es cierto es que no hay una respuesta clara sobre qué harán exactamente los comparecientes en términos restaurativos durante esos ocho años. Esa es precisamente una de las quejas tanto de los comparecientes de la fuerza pública como de las FARC", dice Vargas. La sentencia prevé acciones como la búsqueda de desaparecidos, la memoria y la reparación simbólica. Para ello se han propuesto proyectos ambiciosos, asegura la experta, aunque persisten dudas sobre su implementación. "Estas sentencias son un hito muy importante, pero es fundamental que no se queden en el papel. El riesgo es alto: los proyectos restaurativos son muy ambiciosos, pero no hay respuestas concretas sobre cómo se van a financiar. Tampoco se conoce en detalle cómo se implementará el monitoreo a los comparecientes", subraya. Ingrid Betancourt, humillada por decisión desconcertante La decisión de la JEP también generó críticas. La exdirigente política Ingrid Betancourt, quien estuvo secuestrada por las FARC, dijo sentirse "humillada" y "burlada" por la decisión del tribunal, que calificó de "desconcertante". Esto plantea la pregunta de si la sentencia satisface a las miles de víctimas de los 21.000 secuestros atribuidos a la guerrilla.

Deafness is known for being an invisible disability, which can lead to exclusion and loneliness. According to a Human Rights Watch article from 2019, 70 million deaf people across the world use sign language to communicate. Well sign singers take that one step further, by adapting song lyrics into sign language for the deaf and hard of hearing. In addition to making entertainment more accessible to deaf people and the hard of hearing, this musical activity singing is also a form of artistic expression in its own right. Sign singing can be just as diverse as vocal singing, demonstrating great creativity. There are many different forms, like rap signing, slow signing and hard signing. How do sign singers translate music? Where does it come from? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Las rutas migratorias desde el continente africano hacia territorio europeo siguen siendo una fuente inacabable de muertes. Hoy mismo hemos sabido que unos 50 migrantes han fallecido y más de 100 han sido dados por desaparecidos tras hundirse la embarcación con la que intentaban llegar a las Canarias. Hace unos días HRW publicó un informe titulado “Me acusaron de intentar ir a Europa: abusos en el control migratorio y la externalización de la UE en Mauritania”, que documenta abusos cometidos por la policía, guardia costera, marina, gendarmería y el ejército de Mauritania en operativos fronterizos y de control migratorio. El documento acusa además a la UE y a España de externalizar y subcontratar su política de gestión migratoria con el gobierno mauritano.

Last week, the U.S. released another round of sanctions against officials at the International Criminal Court, including a Canadian judge. They're the latest in a string of attacks from the Trump administration this year, after the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.The sanctions come at a difficult time for the ICC as it operates without a chief prosecutor and is under increasing pressure to address the ongoing atrocities in Gaza. But what is really under the ICC's jurisdiction and is it equipped to hold some of the most powerful leaders in the world to account? Kenneth Roth is the former director of Human Rights Watch and author of “Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Frontlines of Battling Abusive Governments”.He's here to parse through the Trump administration's sanctions, and the history and efficacy of the International Criminal Court.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

While everyone starts their morning a little differently, one thing many people have in common is pouring a cup of coffee. But what if I told you that your daily ritual of coffee is more than likely funding mass deforestation, biodiversity loss, and slavery? One thing you know is that on this podcast, we vote with our dollar, and what we buy every single day, where we buy it, and who we buy it from, all make a difference in the impact we have not only on the environment, but on workers across the globe. That's why in episode 194 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, I sit down to chat with Etelle Higonnet.Etelle is the Founder & Director of Coffee Watch.

durée : 00:05:13 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Mélanie Kuszelewicz - Selon un rapport de l'ONG Human Rights Watch, les rebelles du M23 ont tué 140 civils dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo en juillet.
In December 2023, when South Africa accused Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice, I thought it was wrong to do so. Israel had been attacked. Its defense was legitimate. The blood was on Hamas's hands.But over the last year, I have watched a slew of organizations and scholars arrive at the view that whatever Israel's war on Gaza began as, its mass assault on Palestinian civilians fits the definition of genocidal violence. This is a view now held by Amnesty International, B'Tselem, Human Rights Watch, and the president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, among many othersOne reason I have stayed away from the word genocide is that there is an imprecision at its heart. When people use the word genocide, I think they imagine something like the Holocaust: the attempted extermination of an entire people. But the legal definition of genocide encompasses much more than that.So what is a genocide? And is this one?Philippe Sands is a lawyer who's worked on a number of genocide cases. He is the author of, among other books, “East West Street,” about how the idea of genocide was developed and written into international law. He is the best possible guide to the hardest possible topic.Mentioned:“What the Inventor of the Word ‘Genocide' Might Have Said About Putin's War” by Philippe Sands“‘Only the Strong Survive.'

From "Bloody Sunday" to Modern Activism: Civil Rights Leaders Reflect on LegacyThis show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: 60 years ago in Selma, Alabama, state troopers beat peaceful protesters bloody on the Edmund Pettus Bridge as they marched for civil rights. The horror of “Bloody Sunday” and the resilience of the Civil Rights Movement ultimately led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and many of the landmark achievements that are now directly under attack. As civil rights activists look to history to understand — and prepare for — the present, Laura walks the Bridge and talks with, among others, Sheyann Webb Christburg, who marched at the age of eight, Black Voters Matter co-founders LaTosha Brown and Clifford Albright; law professor and author Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. What does people power look like today? Plus, a commentary from Laura on name calling then and now.“We're not going to phone bank our way out of this. We're not going to text our way out of this. And in truth, we're not even going to vote our way out of this . . . It's going to take revisiting some of the same strategies that we saw here in Selma, in terms of nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action.” - Clifford Albright“When we see and hear and think about fascism, we think about anti-democratic movements in Europe. We think about the Holocaust . . . But for Black people, as Langston Hughes said, you don't have to explain to us what fascism is. We experienced it.

Despite President Donald Trump's best efforts, his administration can't escape the conspiracies swirling around convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — conspiracies Trump and his allies helped stoke before he returned to the White House.On Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would not permit a vote this summer on a non-binding resolution calling for the release of documents and records related to Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 before his federal sex-trafficking trial. And on Friday, Trump sued The Wall Street Journal for billions of dollars over a story alleging he sent Epstein a lewd birthday card in the early 2000s, when the two were known to be friends. Trump has always denied any knowledge that the disgraced financier was abusing underage girls and young women, but there's no denying the two men frequently hung out together, often in the presence of young, attractive women.Matthew Goldstein, a New York Times business reporter who covers white collar crime, joins us to talk about the backstory of Trump and Epstein's friendship, and why the administration can't make this story go away.And in headlines: Some foreign travelers will have to pay a new $250 fee to enter the U.S. thanks to a provision in Trump's new Big Beautiful Law, a new Human Rights Watch report alleges 'dehumanizing' conditions across immigration detention centers in Florida, and Texas Republicans kicked off a special legislative session to potentially redraw the state's congressional map to help Trump in next year's midterm elections.Show Notes:Check out Michael's piece – nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/politics/inside-trump-epstein-friendship.htmlCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
A new expose by Human Rights Watch is out exposing the cruel and unusual and inhumane treatment by the Trump Administration in US detention centers, including chaining human beings together to eat off the floor like dogs; forcing women to use the bathroom in front of men, and ICE agents turning off video cameras to beat detainees. Michael Popok reports on Trump's latest assault on American Values and our patriotism and calls on members of congress to get into these facilities immediately to inspect and provide oversight.
