Co-hosts John Tarleton and Amba Guerguerian look at the pro-Palestine activism that continues roiling New York City college campuses from CUNY to Columbia. We speak with Naomi Schiller of CUNY Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine and Josh Dubnau and Lillian Udell, two Columbia alumni who plan to burn their diplomas outside the campus gates Wednesday morning before the university holds its graduation ceremony. In the second half of the show, we speak with Nicholas Powers, longtime Indy contributor and African-American Literature Professor at SUNY-Old Westbury, about how Black America is generally responding to Trump's second presidency. His latest article is titled "Under Trump 2.0, Most Black Americans Have Nowhere to Turn."

In our first segment, we speak with democratic socialist State Senator Jabari Brisport of Brooklyn about the recently approved $254 billion-dollar New York State budget which was passed 38 days after its April 1 deadline. We talk with Brisport about the good and the bad of the new budget and why he ultimately voted against it. We will also talk about the convoluted process that led to the final agreement and the Governor's outsized role in causing the delay. In the second half of the show, we talk about former governor Andrew Cuomo, who is now the frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race. Our guest, Lindsey Boylan, was an economic development advisor to then-Gov. Cuomo. Boylan became the first of 11 women to go public with claims of sexual harassment against Cuomo that led to his resignation in August of 2021. In addition to her personal experiences with Cuomo, she got an up-close look at his vindictive governing style and is urging New Yorkers to reconsider putting him back in a position of power.

Part 1:We talk with Cameron Joseph, who is s a senior Washington reporter for The Christian Science Monitor.  Prior to that, he was a freelance reporter with work in publications including The Guardian, The Columbia Journalism Review, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Politico Magazine. He previously was a staff reporter for VICE News, Talking Points Memo, the New York Daily News, The Hill, and National Journal. He's covered Washington since 2009, with most of his career focused on elections, Capitol Hill, and the White House. He is a recipient of the 2023National Press Foundation Dirksen Award for distinguished reporting on Congress and the 2020National Press Club award for excellence in political journalism.We discuss the increasing more authoritarian aspect of the current administration. Trump ignores the rule of law, and has essentially taken control of the media, which do not correct his statements. Congress is completely dysfunctional.Part 2:We talk with Robert Hennelly, who is an award-winning print and broadcast journalist focusing on labor, public health, national security, the economy, public finance and the environment. He is the New York City Hall reporter for Work-Bites and his weekly Monday morning radio program on WBAI closely tracks the latest local, regional and national labor movement news. Hennelly is also a regular contributor to InsiderNJ,  Salon, the Village Voice, Raw Story and City & State. For over a decade, he was a reporter for WNYC covering New Jersey, New York and national politics. For several years, he was also the City Hall reporter for the Chief Leader newspaper, and a regular contributor to WBGO, the NPR jazz affiliate in Newark, NJ. His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor, the Miami Herald, the Detroit Free Press, CBS Money Watch, and dozens of other publications both in the United States and overseas.His book Stucknation: Can the US Change the Course of Its History of Choosing Profits Over People was published in 2022 by Democracy@Work.We discuss the arrest of Mayor Baraka of Newark, NJ. The Gestapo tactics used during an occasion when the mayor was performing his official duty are disturbing.  

“Our American Israel is masterful and deserves a larger audience.” —Ta-Nehisi CoatesLive from Prime Produce (@PrimeProduce), Shoshana Brown (@shotimelive) moderates a discussion about Amy Kaplan's (z"l) book Our American Israel: The Story of an Entangled Alliance with panelists:Social Activist and Professor Andrew Ross (andrewtross.com)IfNotNow (@ifnotnoworg) co-founder Simone Zimmerman (@simonerzim)Journalist and Professor Moustafa Bayoumi (@mousbay, moustafabayoumi.com)"In 1945, it was not inevitable that a global superpower emerging victorious from World War II would come to identify with a small state for Jewish refugees, refugees who at that time were still being turned away from the United States. How, then, did so many in America come to feel that the bond between it and Israel was historically inevitable, morally right, and a matter of common sense. Our American Israel reveals how Israel's identity has long been entangled with America's belief in its own exceptional nature. Beginning at the end of World War II with debates about the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine and continuing through both the rise of evangelical Christian Zionism and the war on terror, Amy Kaplan challenges the associations underlying this special alliance." - Harvard University PressShow Socials⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X @BeyondThePaleFM ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG @BeyondThePaleFM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FB @BeyondThePaleFM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@RafaelShimunov on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rafaelshimunov.bsky.social on BlueSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ShoB on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Rafternoon on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shob18 on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the ShowBecome a BAI Buddy of Beyond The Pale at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wbai.allyrafundraising.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a voicemail, we'll play it on airRecord a question or statement to play on air at ‪(917) 740-8971‬ or via the Spotify app.You can also listen to our show live, every Friday after ⁠@DemocracyNow⁠ at 9AM on WBAI 99.5 FM NY.Thank you to our radio engineer, Michael G Haskins, and our researcher Margo Flug.

As the state of New York works to eliminate school mascots with Native American names and imagery, they have run into a powerful adversary: the federal government. The U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into whether the state is violating the civil rights of Long Island's Massapequa School District by forcing them to change their “Chiefs” mascot. President Donald Trump personally weighed in, expressing his support for keeping the mascot. A lawyer for the school says the issue is “the battleground for the preservation of our history and values nationwide.” We'll hear about the issues at play in New York and how it affects other efforts by other states and cities to end offensive Native mascots. GUESTS Ted Trujillo (Passamaquoddy), enrolled member of the Passamaquoddy tribe John Kane (Mohawk), Host of Resistance Radio on WBAI in NYC and WPFW in Washington, D.C. David Glass (enrolled member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe), president of the National Coalition Against Racism in Sports and Media Melissa Candelaria (San Felipe Pueblo), education director of the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty and member of the plaintiff's legal team for Yazzie/Martinez v.

Outraged Americans have been showing up at congressional town halls over the past couple of months to demand that their representatives do more to stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk's dismantling of the federal government. On Aprill 22, New York Congressmember Dan Goldman held a town hall at City Tech College in downtown Brooklyn. The Indy's John Tarleton reports live from the event. We also speak with James Davis, President of the Professional Staff Congress—the union that represents over 30,000 faculty and staff at the City University of New York—about the struggle to defend the City University of New York and other American colleges and universities from President Trump's authoritarian takeover.

Noam Shuster Eliassi is an activist-comedian who writes and performs in Arabic, English and Hebrew (with a touch of Farsi — her mom Iranian born, her dad a Jew in Palestine whose parents fled the Holocaust from Romania), frequently touching upon her experience growing up in “Oasis of Peace” (Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam), a mixed community where Palestinians and Jews live together by choice. Her satirical videos have gone viral throughout the Arab world. In 2019, Noam became the first Jewish performer to play the Palestine Comedy Festival.

Brooklyn for Peace and the War Resisters League held a protest on tax day outside the IRS office in Lower Manhattan. We hear from one of the organizers about the staggering amount of your tax dollars that go to pay for the war machine and what they're doing here at the local level to address this. One of the things your tax money goes to is sending billions of dollars in weapons to Israel to help the Zionist state kill more Palestinians. But it's getting harder to talk about. We have the latest on the repression of pro-Palestine speech right here in New York and the growing impunity of groups like Betar and other militant Zionists.

In the first half of the show, we look at the continually exploding crisis at Columbia University which is on the cutting edge of the Trump administration's plans for higher education in this country to no longer be a bastion of free speech and political protest. Then we speak with historian Robert W. Snyder about his new book on the essential workers who kept New York running when the Covid-19 pandemic exploded five years ago this month.

In our first segment, we go to Queens College, where yesterday more than 100 faculty and students protested for the right to protest on their campus in the face of an increasingly authoritarian campus administration. And then we check in with The Indy's Amba Guerguerian. She published a major new piece today looking at how dissent has been systematically crushed at Columbia since last spring's Gaza solidarity encampment ignited a nationwide anti-genocide campus protest movement. Amba has also been following protests that have been popping off around the city just over the past 24 hours. In our final segment, we speak with Linda Martin Alcoff, a professor of philosophy at CUNY's Hunter College who has written multiple books that explore the intersection of race, gender and class. We get her thoughts on the early days of the Trump administration and its relentless focus on purging anything it deems to be “DEI” or “woke.”

We start out by looking at how the campaign to unionize Starbucks is faring. More than 500 Starbucks stores have unionized since December 2021, but now the movement faces new threats as the Trump administration seeks to dismantle the Department of Labor. We then speak with veteran labor organizer Eric Dirnbach. He's lived the ups and downs of the labor movement since the late 90s. In recent years, he's been active with the Emergency Worker Organizing Committee which formed in the early days of the Covid pandemic and has helped thousands of workers organize unions. At the end of the show, we talk about Mayor Eric Adams, who had his federal corruption charges dismissed yesterday by the Department Justice, and take listener call ins.

First Segment: Ravi Ragbir, a leading advocate for immigrants facing deportation and the co-founder of the New Sanctuary Coalition, won a full presidential pardon from Joe Biden, ending Ragbir's 16-year quest to avoid being deported to his native Trinidad and Tobago. We speak with him about the pardon and the need for community power. Second Segment: In the context of Trump's harsh deportation plans, we speak with Murad Awawdeh, the executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, a broad coalition of many immigrant-rights community groups in New York. Final Segment: We bring on Indypendent Contributing Editor Nicholas Powers and take call-ins from listeners who share how they feel about the Trump's second presidential term.
