Intimidation, repression, and punishment with regard to activism for Palestine has only increased over the past year. Today I speak with three campus organizers from Students for Justice in Palestine who remain determined and committed, even in the face of their university's complicity with genocide.  They come from both coasts of the United States—from the City University of New York and from San Jose State University. They explain what is happening on their campuses, and the ways in which they have created new tactics and actions in order to continue their work.Haddy Barghouti is the secretary of Students for Justice in Palestine at San José State University.  He is a senior majoring in journalism.Lucien Baskin is a doctoral student in Urban Education at the Grad Center researching abolition, social movements, and the university. Their dissertation focuses on histories of solidarity and organizing at CUNY. Lucien's writing has been published in outlets such as Truthout, Society & Space, The Abusable Past, and Mondoweiss. Currently, they serve as co-chair of the American Studies Association Critical Prison Studies Caucus, are an inaugural Freedom and Justice Institute fellow at Scholars for Social Justice, and work as a media and publicity fellow at Conversations in Black Freedom Studies at the Schomburg Center. They organize with Graduate Center for Palestine and are a (strike-ready!) rank-and-file member of the PSC.Sarah Southey is a third year student at CUNY School of Law and a member of CUNY Law Students for Justice in Palestine and CUNY4Palestine. In 2024, Sarah and other C4P members submitted a freedom of information act request for CUNY's investments as part of a campaign to demand that CUNY divest from companies aiding and profiting off of israeli settler colonialism and genocide. CUNY illegally denied that request. C4P challenged the denial in court and won disclosure in Southey v CUNY. CUNY is now appealing that decision in a shameful attempt to continue to evade their legal and moral obligation to disclose and divest.

Amazon.com/America Broken Always-Been Thispurchase book here Is America Broken or Has It Always Been This Way? argues that the nation's biggest crises income inequality, racial injustice, political division, and cultural battles aren't signs of a system falling apart but evidence of one functioning exactly as designed. The book contends that America's institutions have long served the interests of the wealthy and powerful while keeping ordinary people divided, distracted, and economically strained. Despite mounting frustration over wages, housing, healthcare, and affordability, many Americans still support policies that undermine their own well-being a result of deliberate political, economic, and cultural engineering. The book urges readers to recognize the system for what it is, reclaim their self-interest, and use their collective power through voting, spending, organizing, and action to force meaningful change.Bio Born in the South Bronx, Tony Aguilar boasts over 30 years of experience in public service, as a community organizer, workshop leader, public speaker, writer, social commentator, and workforce development professional.

Patricia Anne Simpson joins Jana Byars to talk about Early Modern Women's Work: Kinship, Community, and Social Justice (Routledge, 2025). The book examines the contributions of female writers, artists, scientists, religious leaders, and patrons who engaged in entrepreneurial, intellectual, and emotional labor in German-speaking Europe. Through individual and collective authorship, the women analyzed in this study assert a claim to kinship and community, often beyond the hegemonic, heteronormative relationships to family, religion, and monarch. The contributions of early modern women to the construction of productive work spaces and the establishment of intellectual and actual communities are often overlooked or underestimated in scholarship on this period. This book serves as a cultural corrective to suppositions of gender-coded work, because alongside the dominant history of the private sphere as a feminine domain, a counter-narrative emerges with collective authorship. Despite the disparities in their biographies, the women whose work Simpson foregrounds highlight a range of early modern concerns, primarily but not exclusively in German-speaking Europe. These include debates about women's education and erudition; migration and displacement in search of religious or professional freedom; a persistent but varied discourse about female authorship and creative agency; and the assertion of subjectivity against the violent, fractious history of the Thirty Years' War and beyond. This book will be an ideal resource for students, scholars, and all those interested in German and European studies, women and gender studies, and the history of early modern work.

Matthew 24:36-44

Rane and Jo are thrilled to have Jivana Heyman return for his third visit, and what a fascinating conversation it turned out to be. This time around, Jivana surprised everyone by sharing his unexpected journey into the world of triathlons - a transformation that began during the pandemic when he was inspired by an elderly runner on the beach. What started as simple walks eventually led to running and completing his first triathlon, with Jivana reflecting that "nature heals everything and it just was like a balm to my soul." The conversation beautifully weaves through some deep philosophical territory as Jivana challenges many of our assumptions about yoga practice. He makes a compelling case against the Western tendency to over-medicalise and rigidly categorise yoga, reminding us that "yoga is not about fixing, it's about recognition of our true nature, that we are already full and whole and complete and perfect the way we are." His perspective on meditation is particularly refreshing - he argues that there's no hierarchy of "correct" meditation practices and that "if you're practicing yoga, you're meditating. They're really almost one and the same." One of the most powerful aspects of this episode is Jivana's discussion of trauma-informed yoga and social justice. He doesn't shy away from the tough conversations, acknowledging how yoga can sometimes inadvertently sustain oppressive systems while emphasising its potential for empowerment. His insight that "yoga can give us power... it's about building power and then giving it away" really captures the essence of using practice for service and collective transformation. For yoga teachers listening, there's some incredibly reassuring wisdom here too. Jivana addresses the all-too-common experience of imposter syndrome, offering the perspective that "the yoga teachers out there who feel insecure, who have imposter syndrome, they're probably the ones who actually need to be teaching." The episode concludes with a beautiful distillation of yoga's essence - "working with your own mind, becoming your own friend, your own ally... to remove your own suffering and the suffering of others" - reminding us why this ancient practice remains so relevant and transformative in our modern world.

Photography and Social Justice: Riis, Watkins, and the Question of Truth — Anika Burgess — Burgessdemonstrates how photography became a transformative tool for social advocacy and reform. Jacob Riis, a newspaper journalist documenting Manhattan's tenement poverty, employed flash powder ignited in cast-iron frying pans to photograph the grim, overcrowded interior conditions of slums for his landmark book How the Other Half Lives, frequently without obtaining subject consent. Burgess also discusses Carleton Watkins, who transported over 2,000 pounds of large-format photographic equipment to Yosemite Valley, producing images that proved instrumental in securing federal preservation and protection of the landscape. 1880 COPENHAGEN

Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City Mayor's race , Marjorie Taylor Green splits from Trump, Schumer and Jefferies punch to their left and Trump wages war on everyone . As the divisions in both major parties begin to crack, we're reposting our 2022 interview with Prof. Noam Chomsky about the dramatic shift to the far right in American politics beginning with the 1972 presidential election. Happy Fall Holidays! -------------Republicans go to war . . . Democrats go to brunch!The past 50 years have seen a dramatic shift to the far-right in American politics.  On the heels of the 1972 McGovern debacle, the Democrats all but abandoned their New Deal heritage and moved swiftly to a stronger pro-business position and embraced Neo-Liberalism.  They abandoned class politics and giving priority to workers and the poor and instead have embraced ID politics and wokeness.  As the Republicans stole elections and Supreme Court seats, gerrymandered congressional districts, packed the courts, and ran scorched-earth campaigns at every level, the Democrats have offered a timid resistance at best.In this fantastic interview, Noam Chomsky gives us a history and analysis of the evolution of the Democrats from the party of FDR to a party that's Republican-Lite.  We discussed the Carter campaign, the Trilateral Commission, the DLC and the Clintons, Obama, Democratic hawkishness, and other factors in the Democratic retreat from progressive ideas, all while the GOP waged an open and ruthless war on workers, non-whites, women, and others.Don't miss this important interview with the world's greatest living intellectual. Bio//Professor Chomsky is an American linguist, political philosopher, social critic and political activist. He is Institute Professor Emeritus in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT and Laureate Professor of Linguistics and Haury Chair in the Program in Environment and Social Justice at the University of Arizona. He is the author of scores of books, including American Power and the New Mandarins, Towards a New Cold War, Necessary Illusions, Hegemony or Survival, Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy and Requiem for the American Dream. -----------------------------------------

In a Paris hospital delivery room, Thomas Chatterton Williams, writer for The Atlantic and author of Self-Portrait in Black and White, held his newborn daughter for the first time. Blonde hair. Blue eyes. And in that instant, everything he thought he knew about race shattered.Thomas lives the questions about race and identity that most of us only debate. The son of a Black father who grew up under Jim Crow and a white mother, he had accepted America's racial categories without question. Until he couldn't.What he decided is radical. Controversial. And will challenge how you think about identity, George Floyd, and the categories we use to define ourselves.
