Bad Faith - Episode 559 – Bad Words (w/ Susan Abulhawa)

Last week, Palestinian-American author, scientist, and activist Susan Abulhawa made national headlines after the Zionist press attempted to tie her online posts criticizing Israel's apartheid and genocide with Zohran Mamdani's wife Rama Duwaji as part of an attempted smear campaign: Rama had illustrated a short story that was part of a collection Abulhawa helped to compile and edit. In response to the hit-job on Rama, Zohran distanced himself from Abulhawa, calling her posts "reprehensible" and "patently unacceptable." But were they? And were leftists like Zohran and others strategically or morally justified in throwing her under the bus? Susan took to Twitter with a 20 minute response to the contraversy, but for the first time, on Bad Faith podcast, she's opening up in an interview about what happened. In conversation with Briahna, she puts her comments into context -- describing the humiliation of Zionist oppression growing up in an orphanage in Jerusalem -- and she challenges the notion that there's any language 'too strong' to describe the gravity of Israel's oppression.

What A Day - Can Trump’s FCC Manufacture War Propaganda?

The Iran War is not very popular with Americans – and the Trump Administration seems to think it knows why: the media is being too mean about the President’s war of choice. On Saturday, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr reposted a Trump Truth Social screed against The New York Times and Wall Street Journal on Twitter — adding, “The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.” Carr has real power in his role as FCC Chairman – power he wants to use on behalf of President Trump. So to talk more about the FCC under Brendan Carr, we spoke with Matt Gertz. He’s a senior fellow at the progressive media watchdog, Media Matters.

And in headlines, the gloves came off during Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation hearing, the government’s top intelligence officials testify about worldwide threats before the Senate, and The New York Times publishes a multiyear investigation revealing labor activist Cesar Chavez’s sexual abuse of women and girls.

NPR's Book of the Day - Daisy Hernández argues ‘Citizenship’ has never been a fixed legal status

Author Daisy Hernández grew up in New Jersey in a community she describes as “the United Nations of Latinos,” with parents from Cuba and Colombia and relatives from Puerto Rico and Peru. Her new book Citizenship uses her family story to trace the history of citizenship in the United States. In today’s episode, she speaks with NPR’s Emily Kwong about the concept of “social citizenship” and why American citizenship fails to fit into a fixed legal definition.

Global News Podcast - Iran attacks energy facilities in the Gulf

Qatar's state-owned petroleum company says an Iranian ballistic missile attack on its main gas complex at Ras Laffan has caused widespread destruction. Several Gulf states were attacked by Iran after its largest gas field South Pars was hit in an Israeli strike. President Trump has warned Iran not to launch further attacks on Qatar, or face a "massive" response from the US. He said Iran's gas field had been attacked by Israel - not the United States. But he said the US would "blow" it up if Tehran continued to retaliate.

Also: America's top spies tell a Senate committee that after almost three weeks of war, the Iranian leadership remains largely intact - contradicting President Trump's framing of the war as a success. Five members of Iran's women's football team return home after their silent protest in Australia. How Artificial Intelligence is changing the recruitment process for jobs. And the maths behind why some clothes keep coming back into fashion.
