    The Center for Constitutional Rights has filed a lawsuit demanding records from the Trump administration about its funding of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a private U.S. outfit coordinating with Israel and military contractors to distribute aid in Gaza. Since launching in May, GHF sites have become deadly flashpoints, with more than 1,400 Palestinians killed, over half at or near aid distribution points. On today's episode, we speak with Katherine Gallagher, senior attorney at CCR who says Israel's sidelining of the U.N.'s neutral aid system in favor of GHF's militarized model has turned food lines into “death traps,” as soldiers reportedly fired on starving Palestinians waiting for aid. — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post CCR Sues Trump Admin Over Gaza Aid Funding w/ Katherine Gallagher appeared first on KPFA.

    Hurricane Katrina taught us that coastal restoration is not just an environmental issue but a matter of public safety, equity, and resilience. The storm revealed how decades of wetland loss, oil and gas canal dredging, and weakened levee systems left communitie — especially poor and Black neighborhoods — dangerously exposed. Since then, restoration efforts in Louisiana have emphasized rebuilding wetlands and barrier islands as natural buffers, integrating them with stronger levees and surge barriers in a “multiple lines of defense” approach. Katrina also taught us that community engagement is critical: restoration cannot succeed if it displaces residents or ignores local knowledge. The disaster ultimately pushed coastal restoration from a long-term ecological goal into an urgent priority for protecting both people and economies in a rapidly changing climate. In this episode, we speak with Rollin Black who works doing coastal habitat restoration in the Lower 9th Ward or New Orleans for the Lower Ninth Ward Center for Center for Engagement and Development.  Learn more about his work here https://sustainthenine.org/ — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post 20 Years After Katrina w/ Coastal Restoration Expert Rollin Black appeared first on KPFA.

    The tragic story of Michelle McCullum, a young mother who killed herself and her two children a decade after Hurricane Katrina, illustrates the deep and lasting toll the storm took on New Orleans' Black communities. McCullum, who grew up in the Treme neighborhood, faced cascading challenges in a city reshaped by demographic shifts, job losses, and a weakened social safety net. She became emblematic of how systemic disinvestment, displacement, and inadequate mental health care compounded the trauma left in Katrina's wake. Her death underscored the urgent need for mental health resources and broader support in one of America's poorest and Blackest cities. In this episode, we speak with Adam Mahoney, climate and environment reporter at Capital B.about our lessons from Hurricane Katrina 20 years later.  You can read his article that was published in Mother Jones – Is the Legacy of Hurricane Katrina More Lethal Than the Storm?

    In the first half-hour, we welcome back Leonardo Flores, to talk about the US' most recent escalation against Venezuela. Leo debunks the absurd US claims of drug trafficking, contextualizing them in a longer history of using drugs as a cover for violent escalation against nations in Latin America. Leo also talks about the remarkable critical media literacy of the Venezuelan people – something that the government has nurtured for almost 30 years via a varied and healthy media landscape that promotes independent and local media rather than a centralized corporate system. Next, Nolan Higdon comes back on the show to examine Artificial Intelligence through the lens of critical media literacy. Nolan highlights the importance of not leaning on AI for foundational skills such as reading comprehension and critical media literacy, notes that AI is not some superior intellect but rather a system built by vehemently anti-democratic and indeed anti-human minds. Leonardo Flores is a co-founder of the Venezuela Solidarity Network. He previously worked as an organizer with Code Pink and as an analyst with the Venezuelan Embassy in the U.S. Leonardo was born in Venezuela and maintains close ties to the social movements that have transformed the country over the past twenty-six years. Nolan Higdon is an author, a lecturer in the Education Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a frequent guest on the Project Censored Show. Among his recent books is Surveillance Education.   The News That Didn't Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy.
