2024/07/25

The city of Los Angeles is considering funding a private security firm that hires former Israeli soldiers, in the wake of a sale of Palestinian land for zionist settlement construction which took place in June at a Los Angeles synagogue, and protests outside were labeled “anti-semitic”. We speak with Jonah Valdez, a journalist and poet based in Los Angeles whose recent piece for the Intercept is called “LA City Council Considers Paying Former IDF Soldiers to Patrol its Streets.”Read the Jonah

2024/07/24

Well over nine months into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, many of the Palestinians throughout the area who survive Israel’s attacks have been disabled by either direct blasts or by the fallout from crumbling buildings. Meanwhile, access to medical care is severely limited, and over the weekend reports came out that polio had made its return to Gaza, where vaccines are generally inaccessible except to Israeli soldiers. Our guest in this segment is a Bay Area emergency doctor who just returned from his

2024/07/23

Prior to Israel’s current genocide in Gaza, that area was often referred since 2007 as an open air prison due to Israel’s complete control. Our first guest this morning argues that if we explore the violence of zionism – that is, not just Gaza but zionist control more broadly – as a prison, then an abolitionist challenge to it, can come into view. Our guest is Fathi Nemer, a researcher and writer who published a piece in Scalawag Magazine called “Imprisoning Palestine: Zionist colonialism through an

More than nine months of Israel’s genocidal onslaught on Gaza also means more than nine months of a movement against zionist aggression, which has developed more engagement than ever before in the movement for Palestinian lives and dignity. That organizing work is complex and doesn’t come without internal nuance and disagreement. For example, what does it mean for one group of people to take on leadership and accept funds for the liberation of another people? In this segment, we’ll be talking about

A new investigation into police use of tasers follows how they’ve been used specifically in response to 911 mental health calls. The research shows that they can cause death as well as long term harm, and also that they are deployed disproportionately against Black people. The investigation was done by MindSite News, a nonprofit journalism site dedicated to reporting on mental health in the U.S., exposing rampant policy failures and spotlighting efforts to solve them.

In San Francisco, police are now forced to minimize pretextual traffic stops despite the police union’s now-failed attempt to maintain them. This is after the San Francisco Police Commission in February committed the department to minimize police ability to pull people over for minor violations. Meanwhile, San Francisco’s police watchdog agency, the Department of Police Accountability, is apparently a hostile work environment according to Nine of the department’s 13 investigators.

As Kenyan troops landed in Haiti with U.S. and multinational backing on June 25, protests exploded in Nairobi as young people rose up against an unpopular national finance bill that would impose further taxes on the Kenyan population in order to pay down the country’s extraordinary foreign debt obligations. It is estimated that in the first 2 weeks of the uprisings in Nairobi, 40 civilians were killed by Kenyan forces as the police violently suppressed the protests. Meanwhile, this week, a second

Then, in Oakland, the crime is up! Or is it? A San Francisco Chronicle investigation is raising questions about how crime statistics are reported in Oakland, and claims that the statistics released by police “inevitably, and at all times, create the impression that Oakland’s crime trends — up or down — are better than reality.” The investigation is titled “Oakland has been publishing misleading crime data for years”, and it is written by our guest, breaking news and enterprise reporter for the SF

A new investigation by ProPublica has uncovered a shadowy non-profit organization that problematically, and probably illegally, is pushing a hyper conservative right wing agenda in this country that very specifically aims to center the church in all parts of society. The group describes its membership as a “private, confidential, invitation-only community of high-net-worth Christian families” with a minimum net worth of $25 million. The organization is called Ziklag, which itself is a biblical

A recent Federal Appeals Court ruling allows students to sue the U.S. government for luring them to Farmington University, a fake institution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement incorporated in 2016, apparently to entrap international students who arrived legally in the U.S. on F-1 visas in an illegal “pay-to-stay” scheme. In the process, after collecting around six million dollars of student tuition, federal agents arrested at least 250 of the students who had enrolled at the fake university,

Over the past two months, the city of Vallejo has paid out $672,000 in settlements to victims of excessive force lawsuits filed against Vallejo police Officer Robert DeMarco. According to the Vallejo Sun, the lawsuits stem from two incidents in 2017 and 2018 where Officer DeMarco struck two men with his baton while they were lying on the ground. Journalist Scott Morris joins us to describe these events. Morris covers policing, protest, civil rights, and far-right extremism for the Vallejo Sun.Read

Law Enforcement in this country kills approximately 1,200 people every single year and yet the names of many are never said or known except to their families and friends. What’s more, law enforcement agencies and other state actors harm our community in a myriad of ways that also go unnoticed like profiling, assaulting and wrongfully incarcerating our people. If we don’t know its happening – then we can’t fight back. We cant adequately organize a response. So, every week on Law & Disorder we do a

The International Solidarity Movement or ISM, which was an active protective presence in Palestine for many years in the earlier 2000s has returned. The perhaps-best known activist from that earlier round of International Solidarity Movement protective work was Rachel Corrie, a name many of our listeners are familiar with, because while putting her body in between an Israeli bulldozer at the home of a Palestinian family she was staying with in Rafah, the bulldozer drove over her, crushing her to
