Donald Trump's long-time aggression against Iran--abrogating the nuclear treaty, assassination officials, ramping up sanctions, and last June's prolonged attacks--is ramping up. So I talked to our good friend and one of the best-respected scholars of the region--Eskandar Sadeghi of the University of St. Andrews--about the current crisis . . . the ongoing brutal impact of sanctions--the inflation, shortages, damage to infrastructure; the harsh repression of the Iranian government; the regional context, especially Israel's aggression; and of course the U.S. threats to attack Iran again.For more information about Eskandar Sadeghi, see his faculty page at: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/international-relations/people/es404/ -------------------------------------------------

Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd's and Sandra Bland's, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold.

We feature an in-depth conversation from The Green and Red Podcast, tracing the origins of the sit-in movement, from Greensboro and Nashville to the rise of SNCC, and exploring how militant nonviolence, media exposure, and youth-led organizing forced a national reckoning — with powerful parallels to today's struggles against state violence.

On January 23, 2026, we saw the first general strike in 80 years in Minnesota after the murder of Renee Good by ICE (one day before their murder of Veteran's Administration ICU nurse and union member Alex Pretti). Organizing, direct action and strikes are increasing in recent years and have the potential to lead to a larger general strike. They also have a long rich history in the US.

Demonized by Republicans and Democrats alike, a myth emerged around “antifa” during Donald Trump's first term. But few understand the dangerous work antifa does to disrupt and unmask the latest crop of white supremacists or listened when antifa sounded the alarm about these white supremacists taking positions of power. But, this underground network of militant anti-fascists is determined to stop the rising tide of fascism in America, and does so risking life andlimb. In our latest we talk with journalist, and author of the newly released "To Catch a Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right," Chris Mathias about his new book, antifa and the far right.

February 1st is the 66th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-ins where four African-American student sat in at a Woolworth's, suffering abuse from white racist patrons and eventually jail. Those actions launched the student sit-in movement to end segregation and led to over 70,000 people participating, including civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Bayard Rustin and many others. It also led to the formation of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and modern civil rights movement.

President Trump's saber rattling on Greenland has escalated with threats of military invasion, annexation or purchase of the world's largest island. Today, Trump said that the U.S. would take Greenland, "whether they like it or not." This week, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller threatened, “The United States should have Greenland as part of the United States. There is no need to even think or talk about this in the context that you're asking of a military operation. Nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.” In our latest, we talk with journalist Adam Federman about recent developments around Greenland.

It's the fifth anniversary of the Capitol Riot. As Trump part two has been in power for a year and he's begun a new era of American empire, we're re-posting our take on this defining moment in American history. From the 2021 episode: And we thought 2020 was bumpy. In this rush episode, we talk about the shocks happening in the liberal democratic capitalist system. How the ruling class is destabilized by Trump and the far right actions at Capitol Hill this week, and how they are responding to maintain order and their own power as quickly as possible. Last week, we saw organized by war criminal and former Veep and Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney(!) all ten living Secretaries of Defense to call on Trump and officials in the military establishment to ensure an orderly transition of power (he didn't). We saw the National Association of Manufacturers, a notorious anti-worker anti-liberal Democratic institution, issue a statement calling for the swift enactment of the 25th Amendment of Donald Trump over inciting riots at the Capitol. And we saw lots more anger and outrage in the political and corporate spheres aimed at Trump and his supporters. Between the crises of COVID-19, a crashing economy, the climate crisis, a growing far right clearly willing to use deadly violence and these shocks to the system, there are many forces vying for what kind of world is next for us. As the great Gil Scott-Heron told us, “America leads the world in shocks. Unfortunately, America does not lead the world in deciphering the cause of shock.” That's what Green and Red Podcast will be doing. -----------

The 1970s was the decade that changed the television landscape forever dealing with issues of race, gender, sexuality to the war in Vietnam. No show broke the barriers of turning entertainment into social commentary more than "All in the Family." The late actor-director Rob Reiner played a critical role in the series as Mike "Meathead" Stivic, the liberal foil to main character working class conservative Archie Bunker. In our latest, we discuss Reiner and 70s television contributionto the era's political culture.

While, maybe, in murky legal waters, Attorney General Pam Bondi is building out the infrastructure for greater spying, policing and prosecution of social movements, and anyone else deemed an enemy of the state.

Chevron has been awarded $220 Million in the Ecuadoran Amazon pollution case. The award comes from the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system, part of Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration. From 1964-1992, Texaco polluted thousands of acres of Amazonian rainforest and poisoned its residents. In 1993, those residents took Texaco to court. In 2001, Chevron acquired Texaco and took its debts (including the billions it owes Amazonian residents). In 2011, an Ecuadoran court awarded the residents $9.5 billion in damages for the pollution and poisoning. Since then, Chevron has waged a legal and public relations against the Indigenous people of the Amazon and their lawyers. This award is part of a 16 year process through the ISDS system.

Beginning in 2021, when Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (now X) censored posts by Palestinians protesting their expulsion from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah to today's genocide in Gaza, Big Tech has advanced an imperialist agenda and betrayed its own alleged commitment to free speech and democratic values. Through alliances with the Israeli government and Zionist activists, they have leveraged their massive power to spread propaganda, silence criticism of Israel, and smear dissenters. In our latest, we talk with Prof. Omar Zahzah (@omarzahzah.bsky.social), professor at San Francisco State, and author of "TERMS OF SERVITUDE: zionism, silicon valley, and digital settler colonialism in the palestinian liberation struggle," to discuss the censorship of pro-Palestinian voices, targeting of the Palestinian liberation movement in Gaza and beyond, and the spreading of Zionist propaganda being done by Big Tech.

Eugene Hasenfus died this week. He had been part of a covert operation to supply weapons to the anti-Sandinista group known as the "contras." As part of this activity, he was in an airplane shot down over Nicaragua while doing an arms delivery. His capture exposed a massive scheme by the U.S. government to sell arms to Iran in exchange for freeing U.S. hostages taken by pro-Iranian militias in Beirut and use the money to fund the contras war against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. It became known as the "Iran-contra" affair, or "Iran-contraGate." It reached the highest levels in the U.S. government. And led to a number of convictions (and, later, presidential pardons.)In our latest, we look into the history of Reagan's wars in Central America, the Iran-contra scandal and subversion as foreign policy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
