  • Shepard Fairey?

    Democracy Now! is extraordinary in its uncompromising commitment to holding those in power to account. With this in mind, it was *deeply* disappointing to hear Shepard Fairey, a known plagiarist, speak about the power of visual art to challenge the status quo.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"God Forgives, Brothers Don't": Author Jasper Craven on Hegseth, Militarism & Toxic Masculinity
Q: What drew you to investigate the Vermont National Guard and its leadership?
The Vermont investigations exposed a 'hidden' culture—sex abuse, misconduct, and a toxic male-dominated environment—that mirrors national patterns and risks eroding public trust in military institutions.
"God Forgives, Brothers Don't": Author Jasper Craven on Hegseth, Militarism & Toxic Masculinity
Q: Why did you choose the slogan God Forgives, Brothers Don't as a chapter in your discussion of military masculinity?
The phrase encapsulates how the military's code of brotherhood can mask punitive, sometimes violent, behaviors that are tolerated or celebrated within the institution, while also revealing where white supremacist and neo-Nazi echoes intrude into military culture.
Democracy Now! 2026-07-24 Friday
Q: What is driving the current protests in Delhi and how are they being framed by Modi's government and media?
Roy explains the protests as a broad youth-led movement against perceived state overreach and policy failures, with social media amplifying dissent and revealing the disconnect between the government's messaging and ground realities, including the treatment of protesters and the education system's failures.
Democracy Now! 2026-07-28 Tuesday
Q: What is the core reason Code Pink and Breakthrough News are under scrutiny according to the guests?
They argue the scrutiny is a strategic attack on independent media and political dissent, tied to policies they oppose, such as stance on Gaza, Cuba, and immigration; the aim is to criminalize their First Amendment rights rather than address substantive policy disagreements.
Democracy Now! 2026-07-16 Thursday
Q: Your assessment of Todd Blanche as a nominee for attorney general?
Jayapal says he is not fit to be attorney general, arguing he acts as the president's personal attorney and that his record on Epstein and the so-called anti-weaponization fund raises serious concerns about independence.
