Nick Estes conversation with Sina Rahmani, producer of The Red Nation Podcast and host of The East is a Podcast, discussing not only the historic failure of the ZioAmerican imperialist war machine to achieve their stated war aims of toppling Iran's government, but also Iran's equally historic upending of the American siege around the country through so-called "sanctions."

The Trump administration's federal invasion and occupation of the state of Minnesota continues to sow chaos in the Twin Cities, but grassroots resistance to ICE and Trump has also exploded.

***Note: Jay and I did another fundraiser episode. This time, we used the website Lifeline4Gaza to help lift up some slow-moving campaigns. During the episode, I linked to two other campaigns whose organizers I know and who need your help: consider donating to Ahmed or Mahmoud***   As promised we are back to air more grievances! This week Sina and Jared are combining forces once again! Nora Barrows-Friedman from Electronic Intifada, and our frequent guest and comrade Alexander Aviña will be joining us, and some other special guests will join us as well! Last week Adnan Husain, Nick Estes, Mtume Gant, Sina Rahmani, and Jared Ware all joined forces for an "airing of the grievances" and to raise money for Mohammed and his siblings in Gaza For this conversation - in between the airing of the grievances - we will be promoting the work of Lifeline4Gaza. lifeline4gaza gathers links to existing appeals from families, individuals & grassroots community efforts in Gaza. Appeals are automatically ordered according to urgency, or cumulative donations, using software designed to prioritize those receiving the least donations over the past five days (calculated in real-time & accounting for currency conversions). Appeals supported by @gazafunds, @radiowatermelon & @palestineasdiqa are tagged as such (when identified). lifeline4gaza is an ever-evolving, open-source collaborative volunteer initiative to provide a lifeline to people in Gaza, Palestine during the usa-zionist genocide. Volunteers working on developing & maintaining this website met on x/twitter & can be reached at: @ll4gaza on x/twitter @lifeline4gaza on instagram   Watch the video edition on The East is a Podcast YouTube channel

UPDATE ***Yesterday, Jay from MAKC hosted a livestream for me, Adnan Husain, and Nick Estes partly as a mini-fundraiser for my friend Mohammed in Gaza.  The response has been amazing.  As I mention in the episode, donations started pouring in from listeners/ viewers.  Someone even donated $500!. It was really moving for me--I even shed a tear on the livestream! Thank you to all who donated. Mohammed was elated to see some money come in, as he has been trying to arrange for transport south for him and his siblings. For a few weeks, donations had dried up, and it was a source of anguish for him.  Seeing him get excited as he watched the donations come in made me really happy. The happiness was short-lived. This afternoon (Tuesday) Mohammed messaged me to let me know his brother's wife just had a miscarriage. The Zionists have been shelling the north heavily as they accelerate the genocide,  and it caused her to miscarry. Needless to say, they are devastated. Martyred before life! It goes without saying that there are a lot of really worthy campaigns.  Here are two being run by a friends of mine https://chuffed.org/project/139183-help-ahmed-and-his-family-start-over-after-losing-everything https://chuffed.org/project/141277-help-mahmoud-and-his-family-survive-and-stand-again I once again want to thank all of you who have been donating and sharing/organizing campaigns.  Our ruling class has decided that this starvation war is normal, and it's up to us to do everything we can to support Palestinians fighting to stay alive. I encourage you to adopt your own campaigns. Even if you don't have a large social media following, you can find ways to fundraise. There are a lot of people out there who are not online and would like to show their support.  I have learned this first hand!  I hope you enjoy this episode. It's a livestream and clocks in at over 2.5 hours.  It was fun and chaoatic and very adhoc. I will endevour to do more in the coming weeks and months! -Sina *** The East is a Podcast will host a conversation with multiple friends, airing grievances, covering multiple topics, discussing news and raising funds for Mohammed and his siblings amid evacuation orders.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED May 20, 2021 In this episode, we speak with Nick Estes, author of Our History Is the Future, about the powerful throughline connecting the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee, the 1973 AIM occupation, and the 2016 resistance at Standing Rock. Far from isolated events, these are chapters in a living history of Indigenous struggle against settler colonialism, ecological devastation, and capitalist expansion. Estes brings a revolutionary lens to history; one that is rooted in land, memory, and the radical refusal to disappear. This isn't just a conversation about the past though, it's a call to understand that the continued fight for Indigenous sovereignty is the fight for a livable future.

This is the conclusion of our two part conversation with Tariq Khan on his book The Republic Shall Be Kept Clean: How Settler Colonial Violence Shaped Antileft Repression. In part one of the conversation we laid out many of the general dynamics between anti-indigenous settler colonial violence in the 19th Century and the development of the earliest iterations of anticommunism in the so-called United States, long before McCarthyism or even what's recognized by historians as the first Red Scare. In this conversation we talk about some of the legal precedents that the Trump administration has dusted off for some of his attempts to remove or exclude people for political views.  Because we recorded this conversation in December before Trump took office for his second term, we did not directly address several of his actions that draw from this history. The renaming of Denali as Mt. McKinley, drawing directly on laws used to deport anarchists to go after immigrants for their political views, and continuing the genocidal legacy of this settler colonial empire in fueling the genocide in Gaza. In addition to McKinley who was assassinated by an anarchist motivated in part by the US's war in the Philippines, we talk about contrasting figures like Teddy Roosevelt, John Hay, and Albert and Lucy Parsons and the influence that the later half of the 19th century, and 1877 in particular, had on their political trajectories. In addition we talk about the history of lynching and sexual violence and the relationship this practice had to disciplining anarchists alongside its roles for white society and as a repression mechanism against solidarity across racial lines.  Dr. Tariq Khan is a historian with an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the intertwined forces underlying and shaping our social, political, economic, and cultural institutions. He has wide-ranging research, writing, and teaching experience in the fields of global capitalism, transnational studies, U.S. history, psychology, sociology, ethnicity & race studies, gender studies, colonialism & postcolonialism, labor & working-class history, radical social movements, history “from below,” public history, and community-based research and teaching.

A livestream conversation hosted by TRN Podcast host Nick Estes and prominent members of the Leonard Peltier movement for clemency! Statement by The Red Nation: "After a half-century of unjust incarceration, Leonard Peltier is finally going home! “It's finally over–I'm going home,” said Peltier in response to the news. “I want to show the world I'm a good person with a good heart. I want to help the people, just like my grandmother taught me.” For decades, the now elder Dakota and Ojibwe member of the American Indian Movement represented a powerful symbol for millions. His imprisonment has been viewed as collective punishment against generations of Indigenous people who fought for liberation, from the Red Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the Water Protector Movement that fought against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016."  Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel Read the entire statement here https://www.therednation.org/leonard-peltier-is-going-home/ Empower our work: GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/empower-red-medias-indigenous-content  Subscribe to The Red Nation Newsletter: https://www.therednation.org/ Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/redmediapr
