Media Cyphers Kalamazoo

Biggby Workers Walk Out, Tenants Rights & Media Bias, and More

We begin with a big story about employees at a local Biggby asserting their rights and walking out from being overworked and harassed. 

 

We look at how a new bill in Lansing could help the lives of renters and present contrasting narratives from two different media sources and examine bias.

 

We discuss an article from BridgeMI about how Kalamazoo is preparing for the climate crisis, the political assassinations in Minnesota, and an analysis from LeftVoice on the recent "No Kings" protests.

 

We close the show discussing some critical context around Israel's bombing of Iran as well as how they recently targeted an Iranian television station while it was on air.

 

NOTE: There was an additional segment about resistance to ICE in Kalamazoo and Detroit but due to an error the audio was not captured. Links to the sources for that piece are below.

U of M's Hired Goons, LA Breaks the ICE, and More

We look at a labor dispute at Bronson Pediatrics that speaks to our political moment of austerity and the squeeze put on both workers and patients in our healthcare system.

 

An article from GRIID looks at the double standards practiced by a local news outlet when reporting on a story involving the kidnapping of immigrants.

 

The University of Michigan is in hot water after a Guardian article exposes the exorbitant sum the university spent sending hired goons to surveil on anti-genocide student protestors, and we look at how Santa Ono's centrist flailing between progressive and "anti-woke" warrior has earned him a old pile of nothing.

 

We spend the rest of the show discussing the uprising to ICE kidnappings in Los Angeles.

Trump Admin Blackmails Kzoo and Michigan w/ Funding Freezes, and More

This week, the Empire Strikes Back at Michigan and Kalamazoo for respecting the humanity of immigrants and not ceding ground to critical racist theory (i.e., eliminating DEI) by attempting to blackmail those respective governments with funding freezes.

 

The President muses about pardoning the men who planned to kidnap Governor Whitmer and RFK Jr's health department turns in some sloppy (and dangerous) homework.

 

Michigan's chapter of 50501 is standing up for a free Palestine and we give you updates on Gaza as well as the recent violence in Boulder, Colorado.

 

We close with some important stories about Queer rights on this first episode of Pride month 2025- a beloved voice actor is murdered for being gay and the media omits key details and trans athletes will continue to be protected in the state of Michigan.

Austerity Here, There, and Everywhere and More

From the local to the national our first half focuses on austerity- in Kalamazoo Public Schools, in the federal response to recent storm activity in the area, to how the "big beautiful bill" is going to rob from Michigan's working class and give to the rich.

 

The second half of our show focuses on Palestinian solidarity and the genocide in Gaza. Students around the country are still standing against the massacre while our government lays out a McCarthyist strategy to clamp down on dissent. While the carnage continues in the Gaza strip we saw two Israeli embassy workers assassinated in DC. We talk about the "Imperial boomerang" and the rise of 'social despair' shootings.

No Justice, No Peace: Mistrials, MOVE Bombing Anniversary, and More

We start our show by reading Mahmoud Kahlil's letter to his newborn son written from an ICE detention center in Louisiana. Columbia University, where Mahmoud had been organizing, is seeing a resurgence in anti-genocide student resistance.

 

We talk about the arrest of Newark mayor Ras Baraka outside an ICE detention center and how popular online left commentator Hasan Piker was questioned recently by Customs and Border Patrol.

 

We look at the dynamics of the new pope, and spend the rest of our show discussing police brutality and violence- from the Patrick Lyoya mistrial in Grand Rapids, the situation with Rodney Hinton, to the 40th anniversary of the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia.

Palestine in the Movies, Dana Nessel Backs Off, and More

We start our show paying tribute to a dedicated housing organizer from Traverse City who passed over the weekend.

 

In Kalamazoo, we discuss local screenings of some critical documentaries on Palestine and student resistance- "No Other Land" and "The Encampments."

 

Lawrence joins us and we talk about Dana Nessel dropping felony charges against anti-genocide protestors and do some media critique on the intersection of arts, sports, and commerce.

 

A measure in Lansing that would have made it more difficult to vote in Michigan has failed and we look at an article from LeftVoice parsing out how May Day was celebrated around the world.

Pure S--t Again: Dana Nessel's Fascist Turn, Elissa Slotkin Continues Rightward, and More

It was a busy week in Michigan politics- we talk about how Dana Nessel's targeting of anti-genocide protestors in Ann Arbor with the FBI is both a fascist turn on her part and an echo of some of America's dark past when the government put a target on the backs of social justice organizers (e.g., COINTELPRO).

 

Elissa Slotkin persists in attempting to turn the clock back to the 1990s- in a recent POLITICO article she decried the usage of "oligarchy" by progressives and claimed the Democratic Party is "weak and woke." We talk about what function Slotkin is playing in engaging in this type of rhetoric which seeks to further solidify the democrats as a right-wing, capitalist party.

 

Shri Thanedar will be facing a progressive primary challenger and we talk briefly on the auspicious timing of him pressing impeachment articles against Trump.

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.

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.

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.
