Podcast appearances and mentions of tina desiree berg

Tina-Desiree Berg is a Journalist. Dare I say, one of the most bad-ass ones I know. She goes toe-to-toe with right-wing extremists groups, she puts herself in danger for on-the-ground coverage, and she researches stuff that most people just wouldn't have the stomach for. As some of you may already know, she's a friend and colleague of mine. We've collaborated in many different contexts, but this is the first time I actually got to straight up interview her and dive more into her origin story.

You've probably seen videos of angry right wing extremists accosting  school board members and turning school board meetings into culture-war  battlegrounds. Tina-Desiree Berg spoke to a parent of a trans child in the Conejo Valley school district about what she has seen and experienced.

This week on the podcast, Tina-Desiree Berg is joined by civil rights  attorney JiYoung Carolyn Park, and activist Brittani Nichols from Ground  Game LA to discuss the upcoming Sheriffs election. Also important state  bills that could change the dynamics.

Between June 2019 and June 2020,  Forensic News published several articles and a podcast about the business  affairs of British-Israeli security consultant  Walter  Soriano, after he was summoned by the US' Senate Intelligence  Committee. In response, they were sued by  Soriano. Although the defendants are all based in the United States  and Forensic News is incorporated in the state of California, the  lawsuit has been brought in London.“We believe that the lawsuit that has  been brought against Forensic News is a SLAPP,” the undersigned  organisations said. SLAPPs abuse the law in order to silence critical  coverage on matters of public interest" the Council of Europe Platform for the Protection of Journalism and Safety of Journalists stated in their press release in support of Forensic News.Tina-Desiree Berg spoke with the publisher and one of the journalists personally named in the suit.

This week in the studio, Sean Beckner-Carmitchel joins Tina-Desiree Berg. Eman Padilla was arrested not far from a protest outside Sheriff Alex Villanueva's home in Los Angeles County on November 18, 2020. At that time, he was told there was a warrant for his arrest and charged with Attempted Train Derailment- a charge that holds a maximum of life imprisonment. He was also informed that it was related to his allegedly leaving a temporary barrier- which LASD brings out with regularity and uses- on top of train tracks. His wife was also detained the following week for charges related to her car registration. While she was detained- the LASD ransacked their home. DA Gascon dropped the charges shortly after taking office.

Iz recounts his story of what went down at the Los Angeles BLM protest. Iz is an ex-marine who came out to peacefully protest and ended up at Cedars Sinai with a brain bleed after being struck in the head with a rubber bullet. Tina-Desiree Berg spoke with Iz and his step father Nelson in their home.

Netfa Freeman, organizer for Pan-African Community Action (PACA) and member of the Coordinating Committee of the Black Alliance for Peace, talks to us about Secretary Blinken's visit to Africa, where he is scheduled to visit Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal, and how the U.S. is responding to the crisis in the Horn of Africa.

Maru Mora Villalpando, founder of La Resistencia, community organizer and immigrant activist, talks to us about a federal judge in Texas on Friday declaring that the DACA program was against the law and barring the Biden administration from accepting new applications for it, which may affect around 600,000 beneficiaries of the program.

Mohammad Marandi, Professor of English Literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran, tells us about the results of the elections in Iran where Ebrahim Raisi emerged victorious over the weekend, how the media is reporting about a hardliner victory and whether this analysis is accurate, how the low voter turnout may have affected the results, the president's priorities for the country, the reaction by neighboring countries, and whether there will be any change in the relationship between Iran, Israel and the U.S. under Raisi's presidency. Terrence Collingsworth, executive director of International Rights Advocates and labor & human rights attorney specializing in trade and international labor rights issues, talks to us about a case against Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, and Dell that argues that the tech giants knowingly profit from the use of child labor in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where children have been maimed and even killed extracting the minerals in mines owned multinationals, whether the Alien Tort Statute will be used, as in the Nestlé/Cargill case, to try to connect abuses along the supply chain to top decision makers, and the role local and Western governments could play in exerting oversight of the way resource extraction is conducted.Tina-Desiree Berg, host of the podcast District 34 and reporter for Status Coup, joins us in a conversation about news reports coming out of Chicago about a rising crime wave in the city, and how this reporting is reproducing the “super predator” narrative and ignoring the structural components of violence and precarity.
