For this and more tune to Daybreak Africa!

Despite his best efforts threatening the lives of Congressional colleagues and their families, Jim Jordan didn't get to become Speaker of the House. Instead, his longtime protege and a major architect behind the Big Lie, Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana, is now third in line to the White House. Johnson answers to Jordan who answers to Trump. This essentially makes Trump third in line to the White House. Welcome to Trump's latest coup.   In this week's Q&A bonus episode, questions submitted by listeners at the Democracy Defender level and higher are focused on the Israel-Hamas War. Many questioned the timing of Hamas's sophisticated and well-planned terrorist attack. Why now? What role did Russia play? How does Matt Gaetz's successful bid (so far) to stop Ukraine aid factor in?   Given that we have so much grief and anger to process these days, more than usual, look out for a deep dive podcast in November on the importance of making art and how to take steps to begin your life as an artist. Art therapy has proven invaluable for veterans grappling with PTSD and has never been more important as we process our collective grief. This special podcast will be in a workshop-style and will help those seeking guidance on nurturing their creative side. We all have one. And it's needed now more than ever.   For the works cited in this week's bonus episode, look to the show notes below to find the relevant links and other resources.   To answer a request from a listener here on Patreon, below is a list of journalists and analysts covering the crisis as well as a list of book recommendations. Remain mindful that we're in a time of rampant disinformation, fog of war, all compacted by trauma and our collective trauma of watching a brutal war break out.

Kayem is a Libyan-American hip-hop artist. The son of a Libyan political prisoner who helped form a pro-democracy movement for Libya after escaping prison, he was filmed in the docuseries “Sing Freedom” when returning to Libya for the first time after living in exile. Kayem relaunched his career after a three-year hiatus due to US government restrictions. He has been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard, Complex Mag, the New York Times, and today on 786 Boulevard. We'll be discussing his connection to Libya after a lifetime living in exile, the concept of home, building his art form, using art in general to voice resistance and giving a voice to the voiceless, and how his art intertwines with his spirituality.

Noor Tagouri has the eyes and ears of our generation at her fingertips. At only 27 years old, the Libyan-American journalist, producer, and touring speaker has earned international recognition as one of new media’s most impactful voices by encouraging others to stand up, speak out, and be themselves. With an engaged community totaling over two million followers, Noor is using storytelling to highlight subcultures and share the perspectives of marginalized people with the world. She famously put U.S. sex trafficking under the microscope in her documentary and subsequent podcast series “Sold in America,” which received a Gracies Award in 2019 for Best Investigative Series. Known as “Podcast Noor," she’s embarked on a podcast interview series under her own production company At Your Service (AYS), to go beyond the highlight reel and delve into the mindsets of some of the world’s most fascinating people. In this episode of WorkParty, I have the pleasure of sitting down with the award-winning journalist to learn about her journey in becoming a pioneering voice of our generation, how she faces the hard conversations, and why you too should commit to speaking your truth.

Libyan American poet Khaled Mattawa penned "Now That We Have Tasted Hope" in 2011, on the heels of an uprising in Libya that led to the ousting of President Muammar Gaddafi. Looking back, the poem's message of hope still resonates.

In 2011, protesters in Libya took to the streets to overthrow then-President Muammar Gaddafi as part of a larger wave of uprising throughout the Arab world. Gaddafi escaped Tripoli, the capital, and was later killed while on the run and in hiding. Since then, Libya has been in chaos and torn between two rival governments: The United Nations-recognized government in Tripoli, and forces loyal to former army chief Khalifa Haftar.Libya is set to hold an election next year — but so much remains uncertain.Related: Libyans are caught between coronavirus and conflictThe World's Shirin Jaafari spoke with Libyan American poet and writer Khaled Mattawa about the revolution and its aftermath.Mattawa recalls the moment when Libyans let go of their fear of the Gaddafi regime and took to the streets. "In many ways, it was unbelievable because it was the moment that many Libyans had been waiting for after decades of absolute fear," Mattawa told The World.Related: Is Turkey seeking a neo-Ottoman Empire? "Everything was being undone. It was time for the regime to end. But how and on what basis? When people started fighting and resisting, there was hope and elation and a sense of affirmation."Khaled Mattawa, Libyan American poet"Everything was being undone. It was time for the regime to end. But how and on what basis? When people started fighting and resisting, there was hope and elation and a sense of affirmation," Mattawa said.  Khaled Mattawa is a Libyan American poet. Credit: Courtesy of Khaled Mattawa/Photo by Khairy Shaaban That hope became the subject of a poem called "Now That We Have Tasted Hope," which resonated with readers around the world.Looking back on the poem, Mattawa says he resisted it. "I felt that I was speaking perhaps about something that failed — that hope failed us. But I read it now and I feel like it captured that moment. I don't think it changed my mind about hope — that hope is very powerful. Hope is the key to the imagination."Revolutions take decades to transform from uprising to social contract, Mattawa says, and the so-called Arab Spring "took everyone by surprise." He says the region continues to be "harangued and harassed by world powers" and that many of the governance questions that arose 10 years ago still linger. "If the nations are not free nations, the people of these nations will not be free," he says. Mattawa's poem penned during the revolution continues to hold its power. Recently, a friend told him that his poem was especially meaningful during the pandemic because it struck "a nerve of potential that we can imagine and that we can restore our sense of a better life."NOW THAT WE HAVE TASTED HOPE— An AnthemBy: Khaled MattawaNow that we have come out of hiding,why would we live again in the tombswe’d made out of our souls?And the sundered bodies that we’ve reassembledwith prayers and consolations,what would their torn parts be other than flesh?Now that we have tasted hopeand dressed each other’s woundswith the legends of our oneness,would we not prefer to close our mouthsforever shut on the winethat swilled inside them?Having dreamed the same dream,having found the water that gushedbehind a thousand mirages,why would we hide from the sun againor fear the night sky after we’ve reached the ends of darkness,live in death again after all the life our dead have given us?Listen to me cities, houses, alleys,courtyards and streets that throng my veins,some day soonin your freed light and in the shade of your proud trees,your excavated heroes will return to their thrones.Lovers will hold each other’s hands as if they'd never known fear.I need not look far to imagine the nervesdying, rejecting the life that blood sends them.I need not look deep into my past to seek a thousand hopeless vistas.But now that I have tasted hope,I have fallen into the embraceof my own rugged innocence.How long were my ancient days?I no longer care to count.How high were the mountains in my ocean’s fathoms?I no longer care to measure.How bitter was the bread of bitterness?I no longer care to recall.Now that we have tasted hope,now that we have lived on this hard-earned crust,we would sooner die than seek any other taste to life.Editor's note: This poem is reprinted here with permission by Khaled Mattawa, and appears in "Fugitive Atlas," Graywolf Press, 2020.

On this episode, we delve into the relationship between the fashion industry and race. To begin, Patrick Michael Hughes, an associate professor at Parsons School of Design, describes what racial diversity looked like throughout fashion history, starting from the beginning of the 20th century. He also highlights groundbreaking moments for racial inclusion in fashion. To bridge the past with the present, and to introduce streetwear to the conversation, host Sachin Bhola turns to two of the most respected people in the industry. The first is Chris Gibbs of Union Los Angeles, who details what he's observed about fashion and race over the last two decades, including streetwear's gentrification of "urban" fashion and the importance of brands that are owned and operated by people of color. The second is Bobby Hundreds of The Hundreds, who talks about the browning of America and the influence that has on consumer culture and on an industry he says is predominantly run by white people. He also discusses issues he sees between minority groups when it comes to race politics and fashion. Next, Bhola sits down with Libyan American journalist, activist, and speaker Noor Tagouri, who was misidentified in American Vogue’s February print issue earlier this year. Tagouri, a Muslim woman, shares what the consequences of being mis-raced by the media are. We then consider how the industry can address race and racism in the future by speaking to civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson, who sits on Gucci's newly created Changemakers Council, an initiative designed to promote cultural awareness and diversity. This episode of Fashioning Identity scrutinizes the fashion industry's troubling history with race, offers advice on what people can do to demand the industry changes, and more.

On the latest episode of The Dropcast, hosts Noah Thomas and Jian DeLeon break down the best of Paris Fashion Week.  We're joined by journalist, entrepreneur, and speaker Noor Tagouri. She was recently featured in an editorial in Vogue magazine, but unfortunately the Libyan-American activist and media figure was misidentified as Pakistani actor and model Noor Bukhari. We talk about this experience and place it in the context of a larger conversation about inclusivity and diversity in fashion, media, and beyond. Things get really real as we share our own stories about microaggressions and power structures in the workplace that can be hard for people of color to identify and overcome. The conversation shifts towards why it's important for people from marginalized communities to rise to positions of power, especially in creative industries. Of course, no Dropcast would really be complete without straight-up jawns talk, of which there's plenty. Noor also weighs in on some of the couture collections just shown in Paris, and we talk about why it's important to support independent designers—especially ones of color. Listener voicemails also share their thoughts on whether or not fashion has become more inclusive than ever.

This week, Intercepted is live from the SXSW Festival in Austin. Edward Snowden joins us via video feed from Moscow. He discusses Trump’s allegations of Obama’s wiretapping, analyzes some of the CIA’s hacking capabilities, and blasts critics who accuse him of being a Russian agent. And we talk to Libyan-American hip hop artist Kayem, who was forced to keep a low profile the past several years after multiple detentions and visits from the FBI. He shares some verses with Intercepted.

Amal Elderat was among those who celebrated in Libya after news of Moammar Gadhafi’s capture and death in October 2011. Photo by Marco Longari/AFP/Getty Images Imagine this horrifying scenario: Your father and brother get arrested by a foreign government. You believe they’re being tortured and forced to give false confessions. Soon, they’ll be facing a trial that could lead to a lifetime in prison, possibly even the death penalty. Amal Elderat, a 28-year-old Libyan-American is living this nightmare right now. LISTEN: The real story behind your cup of tea » Subscribe in iTunes » Subscribe using RSS Elderat grew up in California, but her family is from Misrata, Libya. Her father and brother are now on trial, possibly for life, in the United Arab Emirates, where they had been living and working. They are charged with aiding terrorists in Libya during Moammar Gadhafi’s regime. The family claims they were sending humanitarian aid to their hometown of Misrata during the uprising. They are being targeted, she says, because the UAE has backed fighters from a different part of Libya. On his Shortwave podcast this week, P.J. Tobia reports on the story of how this Libyan family suffered under Moammar Gadhafi’s regime, and how after he was captured and killed, things got much, much worse. Shortwave is a podcast that you listen to. With your ears. The post How sending aid landed one Libyan family in prison appeared first on PBS NewsHour.

This week, we had a Tuesday that some would say was far more super than most other Tuesdays, as voters in eleven states took to the polls to weigh in on who should be the presidential nominees. But beyond the winners and losers, what we learned from Super Tuesday is that big realignments are afoot for both the Republicans and the Democrats. Meanwhile, we put a spotlight on the War on Terror this week. Joining us is Amal Alderat, whose father and brother, both Libyan-American businessmen, were detained by the United Arab Emirates in 2014, jailed, and brutally tortured. Our big question: Why are two Americans being tortured by a US ally, and what does this portend for our ongoing strategy in Libya? Finally, we welcome comedian Anthony Atamaniuk who has been touring the country with James Adomian as the two men offer the nation their take on a Trump vs. Bernie debate. We'll talk about what inspired Tony to take up the task of imitating Donald Trump, and his very real fears of a Trump presidency. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
