President Trump is asking the military to turn inward. There will be consequences for years to come, says @janessagoldbeck.bsky.social, a Marine Corps veteran and @vetvoicefoundation.bsky.social CEO. "I feel a lot of sadness on behalf of those serving in uniform today..." bit.ly/3LmGv50 #VeteransDay

CYCLE follows the story of Ty’rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine, WI who was shot to death after being pulled over by a police officer from a nearby area for riding a bicycle with no headlights. Director Laura Dyan Kezman says she heard about the killing much later: bit.ly/4nO3lQK

"CYCLE" is an invitation “...to interrupt the silence that follows so many cases [of police violence] that never go viral — cases where there’s no footage, no public pressure, and no accountability.” Director Laura Dyan Kezman and co-director William Howell join us this week: bit.ly/4nO3lQK

Republicans in North Carolina recently passed a new congressional map that could hand them another seat in the 2026 midterms. For this week’s “rewind” podcast, we’re revisiting our 2023 report on the state’s long history of anti-democratic election law. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Trump is threatening to send the National Guard to US cities, but what about the other times the government has turned its military inward? Catch this week's show with Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and Marine Corps veteran Janessa Goldbeck, and visit lauraflanders.substack.com for more commentaries.

Why is Trump pushing this hard for the National Guard in U.S. cities? @janessagoldbeck.bsky.social, CEO of @vetvoicefoundation.bsky.social, says voter intimidation is part of Trump's larger plan: bit.ly/3LmGv50

@jayapal.house.gov is speaking out against Trump's assault on families and communities at shadow hearings across the country. The latest hearing in her "Kidnapped and Disappeared" series took place in Chicago, and the stories she's hearing from directly impacted people are shocking: bit.ly/3LmGv50

The U.S. military is sworn to serve the Constitution, but that’s getting complicated under Donald Trump. Now the President is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. @jayapal.house.gov and Marine veteran @janessagoldbeck.bsky.social say it’s time to reject authoritarianism: bit.ly/3LmGv50

67% of Black voters have a favorable view of socialism according to a poll by the Cato Institute. “There's a way in which our movements sometimes haven't tapped into that full potential," says writer and political strategist @asha-rrs.bsky.social, a columnist at @inthesetimes.com: bit.ly/3WSDonQ

Immigration & policy reporter @felipedlh.bsky.social says Left-leaning politicians are often expected to apologize for their viewpoints. Have you noticed it too? "[Zohran Mamdani] sticking to his message unapologetically is partly what his secret sauce is," he shares: bit.ly/3WSDonQ #ZohranMamdani

#Dearborn, MI became the first Arab-majority city in the US in 2023, and many Arab Americans hold office today. Osama Siblani of The Arab American News says local leaders are watching Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayor campaign and discussing what it means for progressive politics in MI: bit.ly/3WSDonQ

Wherever you are in the US, you’ve probably heard about “Zohran Mamdani”. NYC’s mayoral race is a national story, and it’s hard to overstate the significance of the leading candidate. From Chicago to Dearborn, MI, journalists are watching: bit.ly/3WSDonQ

Wondering what to do after Saturday's "No Kings" protests? There are so many ways to take a stand against fascism and plug in to your community, says Ellen Gavin. "The People, United", a short film written, directed and produced by Gavin, shows us what's possible when people come together.

Recognized as one of the most influential labor organizers of the 20th century, Dolores Huerta has seen it all. Her message in 2025? Fascism is here and we must take action. "The People, United" shows us how. Catch Huerta and the film's writer, director and producer Ellen Gavin on this week's show.

What kind of neighbor do you want to be? A new short film "The People, United" is teaching audiences about courage and community care in the face of ICE, and drawing on history to meet this moment. Check out Laura Flanders' conversation with activists #EllenGavin and #DoloresHuerta at the 🔗 in bio.

Before Trump came for abortion providers, teachers of critical race theory and drag performers, he had to build suspicion. Is he going to succeed in making anti-fascists suspect, or will we do something about it? Watch Dolores Huerta and Ellen Gavin on this week's show and catch Laura’s commentary.

People are taking to the streets and calling out fascism in bold, unique ways, but we’re not all there yet. If you need some encouragement, watch "The People, United" — a gripping short film about everyday Americans standing up to ICE and winning through nonviolent resistance.
