KPFA - Law & Disorder w/ Cat Brooks ·

2024/08/13

The courthouse is an important part of every story of mass incarceration in America and, too often, it is a place of powerlessness for those facing criminal charges, their families, and their communities. But the courthouse can also be an important site of resistance, a place where Americans affected by incarceration can become agents of change—even though they are not lawyers or judges. Our guest is author of a new book by Silicon Valley De-bug co-founder Raj Jayadev. We talk about his story and

2024/08/06

Those targeted for incarceration do not simply submit to a monochromatic existence behind bars. Mass incarceration is a lived, sensory experience. On today’s episode we speak with the authors of a new visual primer on mass incarceration. The Warehouse brings to life the histories and means of daily survival of the marginalized people ensnared in this racist, ableist system of class-based oppression. The book elegantly weaves together the most insightful activist scholarship with vivid testimonials

But how do we reckon with the long history of distrust of public health and the social, ideological, historical, racial, and political forces that allow mass shootings to occur on a near daily basis in America? Our guest today is Jonathan Metzl, whose book What We’ve Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms explores what happens to the soul of a nation as well as the meanings of safety and community when we normalize violence

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”.

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.

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
