  • AOC info

    Following on conversation about AOC support for sending Israel arms, here’s relevant context from the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/02/aoc-blocks-israel-military-aid

    AOC is a smart woman who is becoming an increasingly astute politician.

  • Uneducated Podcast

    Unfortunately Briahna has become bitter and polarized, focused on spreading hatred instead of educated discussions. This is clearly why she was fired from her previous role- she aims to meet to place blame on others instead of trail trailblazing with ethical, educated content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 536 - "Greater Israel" Does Lebanon (w/ Rania Khalek)
Q: What is the journalist on the ground seeing in Lebanon right now?
Khalek describes widespread displacement, attacks on civilians, and a daily reality of fear and uncertainty, with Lebanon's south being treated like Gaza and forceful evacuation orders impacting millions.
Episode 480 - Towards a New U.N. (w/ Craig Mokhiber)
Q: What is your assessment of UN leadership and reform now that funding is in play?
Funding cuts, inadequate action during live events, and leadership choices threaten the UN; reform should reduce reliance on Western donors and promote broader, more principled funding and governance.
Episode 480 - Towards a New U.N. (w/ Craig Mokhiber)
Q: Do you think what's going on in Gaza now is a genocide?
I don't think it's a genocide, but it is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes, and there is a pattern of systemic harm that goes beyond isolated incidents.
Episode 561 - Pedagogy of the Suppressed (w/ Chris Alfonso)
Q: How should we engage with Noam Chomsky's legacy given his controversial past?
The guest suggests separating the work from the person, critically assessing ideas like manufacturing consent while not canonizing individuals; read the work, understand its context, and apply its insights without hero worship.
Episode 561 - Pedagogy of the Suppressed (w/ Chris Alfonso)
Q: What do you think about the role of electoral politics in achieving progressive goals?
Both hosts discuss the tension between electoral politics and direct organizing, with Alfonso arguing for building power through grassroots organizing while acknowledging the political realities and limits of the two-party system.
