Last Thursday, thousands of students across the country walked out of the classroom to protest the rise of One Nation. Videos of the protest went all over social media - but one in particular has raised some questions. And that was from One Nation, who went undercover at the protests. And we had some questions. Like, is it legal to deceive people into being filmed? But also… are those death threats legal? We’ll explore it all in today’s episode.

Nevena and John discuss the mass student walk-out during the week, in an anti-racism, anti-Pauline Hanson protest. Students around the country walked out of school to join protests in capital cities and some regions against One Nation and its leader Pauline Hanson. The rallies have been condemned by Ms Hanson, who wrote a message to students on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), saying: “Whether you know it or not, One Nation and I are fighting for you.” In Melbourne, hundreds of students gathered outside the State Library in the CBD carrying anti-One Nation signs, banners and a pinata designed to look like Ms Hanson which was broken apart to reveal lollies. Organised by the National Union of Students, the rally saw speeches from both high school students and political leaders, including former Victorian Greens leader Samantha Ratnam. Ms Ratnam said she was impressed by the turnout. “It gives me hope that we can stop the rise of One Nation,” she said. “Everything is on the line right now.” Courtesy of ABC.

In India, a protest movement of so called cockroaches have led to a huge change at the very top of government - claiming the scalp of the country's Education Minister.

Kate Adie introduces stories on India's 'cockroach' protests, anger in Ukraine over army recruitment, the Iranian school bombed at the start of the war, fears over voting changes in America's deep south, and the bio-hacking phenomenon in Berlin.The Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, is now one of India's most visible youth movements, driving tens of thousands of students to take to the streets to protest about education, corruption, and a lack of job opportunities. Azadeh Moshiri met demonstrators in central Delhi.President Zelensky's decision to replace Ukraine's popular defence minister Mykhailo Federov triggered an outburst of anger this week. The country's military is struggling on several fronts - not least when it comes to signing-up new soldiers. Sarah Rainsford reports on the growing hostility around conscription. In Iran we return to the opening hours of the conflict back in February, when a strike on an Iranian school transformed an ordinary Saturday morning into one of the war's defining tragedies - and its deadliest single incident for civilians. Nawal Al-Maghafi returned to the scene in Minab. In Alabama, there is concern that a recent decision by the US Supreme Court could roll back hard-earned civil rights victories which protected the interests of minority African-American voters. Brandon Drenon has been speaking to voters in Tuskegee. And so-called bio-hacking – using data to optimise one's health, mental performance, and longevity - is being embraced by start-ups across Europe. Simon Busch has been finding out more in Berlin - one of the industry's thriving hubs.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production coordinators: Gemma Ashman & Sophie Hill Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

What was supposed to be a celebratory moment for graduates at South Carolina State University quickly turned into one of the most talked-about campus controversies in the country.When the school announced that Pamela Evette would serve as commencement speaker, it didn't take long for backlash to build. Students, alumni, and supporters began raising concerns about her political positions—particularly on issues like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), education policy, and broader cultural debates that many felt did not align with the values of an HBCU.That concern turned into action.Students organized protests across campus, circulated petitions that gained thousands of signatures, and used social media to amplify their message. For many, this wasn't just about one speaker—it was about representation, respect, and who gets a platform at a historically Black institution.As pressure mounted, the university made a major decision: Pamela Evette was officially disinvited from the commencement ceremony.Now the questions begin…Was this a powerful example of student voices being heard?Or does this signal a growing trend of shutting down viewpoints on college campuses?On this episode of The Arrington Gavin Show, we take you through the full backstory:- How the invitation was announced—and why it sparked outrage- The key issues students had with Evette's record and positions- How protests, petitions, and public pressure escalated- The university's response and ultimate decision- And what this moment says about the future of campus speech and political engagementThis is bigger than one event—this is about the intersection of politics, identity, and power in today's college landscape.

On 8 April 2019 protests began in Gabon against government proposals to reduce access to student grants. Many university students were entitled to grants of around 83,000 CFA francs per month, and 65% of its recipients were aged 20 or over. The government planned to set 19 as the maximum age, as well as require high marks in examinations to be eligible.High school and university students in the capital Libreville and elsewhere walked out of class and took to the streets, and there were some scuffles with police. One participant, Samantha, told a journalist that she found the "reform particularly unfair to the working classes". In response, the government shut down all schools in the country. Protests continued for three days until the government backtracked and agreed not to implement the changes.Gabon had accepted a loan from the International Monetary Fund in 2017, a condition of which was that the government had to reduce public spending.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7987/gabon-student-protestsOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 19 March 1968, more than 1,000 students at the historically Black Howard University began an occupation of the administration building that shut down the school.  The protests were spurred by the planned expulsion of 37 fellow activists and went on to demand student involvement in disciplinary procedures, a more developed African-American studies curriculum, and the resignation of the university president. After four days, the takeover ended with the administration granting all but the resignation.More: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9122/howard-university-occupationOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Welcome back to another full episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this raw and unfiltered conversation, your host Stefano sits down with Elliot, fellow Canadian podcaster and host of The Right Call Podcast, who travelled all the way from Montreal to Toronto for this thought-provoking episode.Together, they break down the cultural, political, and economic divide between Canada's two biggest cities — exploring why Toronto has lost its soul, how Montreal still preserves its joie de vivre, and what these contrasts reveal about the future of Canada.Elliot reflects on his time living in Toronto years ago and how dramatically it has changed — from rampant homelessness and violent-crime spikes (up 55%) to a bureaucratic nightmare of housing costs and red tape. He contrasts that with Montreal's deep sense of community and social cohesion, explaining how Toronto's extreme multiculturalism has created a city of isolated tribes rather than a unified people .The two dive into hard-hitting national themes:- the collapse of Canada's housing market,- the immigration surge that's overwhelmed infrastructure,- and the growing voter apathy that's left everyday Canadians feeling unheard.Elliot doesn't hold back in criticizing Olivia Chow's leadership and the Liberal government's mass-immigration policies, arguing that decades of reckless decision-making have left Toronto on the brink. With nearly half of Toronto's population foreign-born and over 56% identifying as minorities, he asks a critical question: Has multiculturalism gone too far to unite the country?They also examine how policy failures at every level — federal, provincial, and municipal — have eroded Canada's middle class, crippled youth opportunity, and divided Canadians into tribal echo chambers.This episode dives deep into:- Why Toronto feels “soulless” compared to Montreal's community energy- How unchecked immigration is overwhelming Canada's systems- The cultural costs of political correctness and identity politics- The reality of corruption, bureaucracy, and government overreach- Why Canadians must re-embrace patriotism, faith, and common senseGrab a casual, lock in, and let's get into it.

They are using the pretext of antisemitism and combating antisemitism to go after us because they know that this is the weakness of the Democratic party. When they go to the universities, they start with combating antisemitism, but then the second ask would be to abolish all DEI programs, to sanitize the history on slavery and the inception of America. And the list goes on and on and on.” - Mahmoud KhalilDescription: Mahmoud Khalil was coming home from an Iftar dinner with his pregnant wife on March 8, 2025 when he was detained without a warrant and transported 1,500 miles to a Louisiana detention camp. A negotiator for the 2024 pro-Palestine student protests at Columbia University, Khalil was a legal permanent resident who'd committed no violence or crime; his abduction shocked the world. The Trump administration was seeking to expel Khalil, not for his acts, but for his otherwise legal “beliefs, statements and associations” which Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote in short letter, would “compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest.” A New Jersey federal judge threw out that case and Khalil was released after 104 days in detention, but the backlash keeps on coming. In this courageous conversation, Mahmoud Khalil joins Laura Flanders to discuss the night of his terrifying detainment, the “Palestinian Exception” and the case brought against him by the Trump administration. They are alleging errors on his green card application and have ordered Khalil to be deported — possibly to Algeria or Syria where his life would be under threat. Despite the risks of deportation, Mahmoud Khalil continues to speak out, and he and his legal team have filed a civil rights lawsuit with the U.S. District Court of New Jersey against the Trump administration to challenge his arrest and detention by ICE. Join Khalil and Flanders as they ask why the question of Palestine is a test for U.S. democracy — and one we are failing.“People mistakenly think that what's happening is far from their doors. They think that this would never happen to them, because of their social status, because of their ethnicity or any of that. But what's happening around us should alarm us . . . It's not about that the U.S. is becoming authoritarian. It is authoritarianism now.” - Mahmoud KhalilGuest:  Mahmoud Khalil, Human Rights AdvocateUPDATE - since this interview was recorded-  “The recent decision by a federal court in Massachusetts in the AAUP v. Rubio case confirms what Mahmoud has maintained all along: that Trump administration officials have acted in concert to suppress and silence anti-genocide, pro-Palestinian speech, in violation of the First Amendment. We look forward to the remedies that court will order and to pursuing Mahmoud's own separate and ongoing federal court challenge to this unconstitutional policy.”  -Ramzi Kassem, co-director of CLEAR, and one of the lawyers representing Mahmoud Khalil.Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

He was burned in effigy. Protesters were arrested. Now, Michael Knowles returns. In this explosive episode of Cross The Line, Michael Knowles heads back to the University of Pittsburgh—the same campus where he was met with violent protests, chaos, and national headlines. This time, it's personal. Following the arrest of activist Brian DiPippa, who injured a police officer during the protest, Michael revisits the campus to speak with students, confront the narrative, and expose the truth about free speech, political extremism, and the growing hostility toward conservatives on college campuses. - - - Today's Sponsor: ExpressVPN - Protect your online privacy today by going to https://ExpressVPN.com/michaelYT and you can get an extra 4 months FREE
