Washtenaw Stands with Immigrants, DEI Roll Back at U of M, and More

We look at the effect DEI roll backs are having on students at the University of Michigan, how Washtenaw residents are standing up for their immigrant neighbors, and an article from LeftVoice analyzing the Detroit city budget.

 

RFK Jr. is calling autism a "disease" and we discuss the implications of the nation's most powerful snake oil- salesman looking for the "cause" of autism and creating a registry.

 

Lawrence joins us while doing some work up in Lansing on gun violence to discuss the passing of the pope, how RFK's foolishness is exacerbating the measles outbreak, and David Hogg's recent announcement that he is going to seek to primary do-nothing Democrats in congress.

Oshtemo and Michigan Dept of Ed Call BS on Trump's DEI Lies, and More

We start with some updates about the WMU chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. We then look at a positive story about how Oshtemo Township and the Michigan Department of Education are calling out the BS on the Trump administration's lies about DEI programs.

 

Lawrence joins us to talk about how some big figures in liberal politics are capitulating and "building bridges" with an overtly fascist regime, then talk about how that regime is interfacing with El Salvador- slandering a Maryland resident on national television to justify disappearing U.S. residents into a concentration camp.

 

On this show the news came to us- students and faculty demonstrated outside the student center to support international students and demand protections from the administration as Trump's "visa purge" has hit home here at WMU- we talk with one of the demonstrators.

 

We close with a story of how a Dearborn attorney was stopped at the US border for representing anti-genocide protestors.

Interview w/ Indivisible Kzoo on "Hands Off" Day of Action, and More

We begin our show talking about an important event on campus hosted by Student for Justice in Palestine. We break down the tariffs coming down from the Trump administration and why the working class should not trust a fox to create jobs in the hen house.

 

We interview Indivisible organizers Ken and Denise about the "Hands Off" day of action over the weekend, the key differences between now and the #Resistance of 2017, and how we can funnel people's fighting energy into a better status quo.

 

Lawrence joins us to talk about a new executive order that would be poised to strip away whatever democracy we have left in this country, and we give our thoughts on Cory Booker's filibuster.

At the state level we look at a BridgeMI article examining how recent Trump administration cuts will effect Michigan libraries and look at some barbs from Elissa Slotkin at the "activist" wing of the Democratic Party after being questioned on how she is standing up to Trump.

 

Columbia University have caved into demands from the Trump administration to restore their funding, a court ruling could have chilling implications for the civil rights of trans people, and we conclude with stories on how journalists in Gaza have faced violence from the IDF.

We start our show with an article from WWMT about an act of violent arson committed against a houseless resident of Kalamazoo, the media response, and what it says about where our city is lacking in responding to the housing crisis.

 

We spend much of the hour talking about the kidnapping of student organizer Mahmoud Khalil by ICE and how people around the country are responding.

 

While some Republicans in red states are changing their hearts and minds on trans issues, Democrats in Michigan are throwing trans youths under the bus in Lansing.

Empire's Mask Off in the Oval Office, Welcome to the Tariff-dome, and More

WMU SJP and AAUP respond the university administration's neutrality policy.

 

Me and Lawrence talk about geopolitics as reduced to crude gangsterism- what is different and what remains the same when US empire is administered by dull-witted goons via the Zelenskyy meeting.

 

The leopards are eating everyone's faces- and we talk about how DOGE cuts are immiserating Trump's electoral base along with everyone else and how the hysteria around "woke" and "DEI" is a long played tactic of the ruling class to smuggle austerity with bigotry.

 

Wayne State grad students are organizing, and we look at an article from the WSWS on Trump's North American tariffs, which went into effect Tuesday.

"The Revolution WILL Be Televised," Kzoo County Responds to Federal Funding Freeze, and More

We open by discussing how a local resident is attempting to organize a Metro Transit bus riders union and how Kalamazoo County is responding to the Trump administration's federal funding freezes.

 

We talk a bit more specifically about DOGE, the normalization from some sectors of the media, the power and history behind the Trump admin's adversarial posture towards South Africa, and examine the meaning around Kendrick's Super Bowl halftime performance.

 

We look at Trump's aim to colonize Gaza and turn it into a casino resort, return to Michigan with stories from the state government, and close with some updates on H5N1 (Bird Flu).

Tariff-ying Developments for Michigan, Trolls in the U.S. Treasury, and More

On today's show we begin with how the Trump administration is targeting anti-genocide protestors in the U.S. on a student visa and how local groups are responding.

 

We look at the wild, back-and-forth story of Trump's proposed tariffs with Canada and Mexico, how Trump was placated at the 11th hour, and the type of impact tariffs on Canada could have on Michigan whenever the President has his next tantrum at them.

 

We look at a story from LeftVoice about the mayoral race in Detroit, check in on how the opposition party in Washington is largely deciding to oppose human rights, Elon Musk's gremlins that got into the treasury offices over the weekend, and how organizers are responding to corporate chains like Target dropping their DEI initiatives.

The Dems Are Out to Brunch, The REAL Resistance Continues, and More

Kalamazoo Township is responding to Trump with some actions from city officials (maybe, at some point.)

 

Lawrence joins us to talk about the first week of Trump II: The Revenge- the blizzard of reactionary executive orders, the administration's overt class warfare- in particular Trump freezing federal funding earlier this morning and how resistance liberals seemed to have stayed at brunch while the grassroots resistance moves forward.

 

We talk about responding to ICE in SWMI and the unique challenges it gives college students, and discuss an article from Truthout on the Trump's administration's push of "uncritical race theory" in public education.

 

We also discuss Trump kneecapping public health in the U.S. and the potential catastrophic consequences.
