  • Iran

    Jan 16, 2026 - Iran

    I just listened to Dr. Marandi talk about the Iranian protest, on Al Jazeera news. If I heard correctly, he was saying that mossad, the Israeli intelligence, is the one causing the problem in Iran, and that most Iranians support their government.

    IF that’s true, I hope your reporting will reflect that

    Also, in relation to Trump’s first election, I understand that Russia gate was really made up to discredit tRump; and it was started by Hillary Clinton. IF that’s true, I hop... more

  • Shameless

    From anti-imperial journalism, to compatible “left”, to complete propagandist!

    Millions Iranians are marching against foreign-backed (we all know which ones) rioters, who killed hundreds police and civilians, and destroyed neighbors and mosques. Pompeo openly admitted it.

    Yet somehow this is all turned upside down into a narrative that better fit the official agenda. It’s like the Maidan 2.0.

    Am I watching CNN or FOX?

  • Misinformation

    Cherry picked information on a platter for autocratic anti-American regimes of all stripes to add to their propaganda. Amy loves to feature guests with ties to terrorists, like right after 10/7, a guest who said “we are all Hamas”. Leftists are the most naive people in the country and would watch it burn to satisfy their savior/guilt complex. Grew up listening to and watching this communist propaganda, now I know the truth. Never again. Antisemitic garbage.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Democracy Now! 2026-08-05 Wednesday
Q: John Nichols, can you talk about some of these other key races in Michigan and other states where progressives were challenging more establishment candidates?
John Nichols discusses how down-ballot insurgent candidates gained traction by emphasizing grassroots organizing, issue-driven platforms like data-center concerns, and a broader rejection of elite money in politics, signaling a national trend toward challenger campaigns succeeding outside traditional party structures.
Democracy Now! 2026-08-05 Wednesday
Q: Andy Levin, can you talk about the significance of this race and the role of APAC spending in Michigan?
Andy Levin explains how the race highlighted the influence of APAC and dark money, noting that despite heavy spending against him, Abdul El-Sayed ran a campaign grounded in traditional organizing and policy-focused messaging, and that this race exposes weaknesses in relying on money alone to win elections.
"God Forgives, Brothers Don't": Author Jasper Craven on Hegseth, Militarism & Toxic Masculinity
Q: You've done significant work on Vermont's National Guard and broader veterans' care—how did your exposure to these issues shape your view of the military's impact on veterans?
Exposure to sexual abuse, toxic culture, and struggles with reintegration highlighted how reform in care, accountability, and understanding the civilian-military transition is essential for preventing harm and supporting veterans.
"God Forgives, Brothers Don't": Author Jasper Craven on Hegseth, Militarism & Toxic Masculinity
Q: The title of your book, God Forgives Brothers Don't, and its origins in white supremacist groups—why did you choose this as a framing device?
The slogan captures the harsh dynamics inside the military where brotherhood can be conditional, and aggressive masculine norms are rewarded even as they mask violence and exclusion.
Democracy Now! 2026-07-23 Thursday
Q: Why is the First Amendment said to protect non-citizens as well, according to the defense team?
Because constitutional rights extend to non-citizens who are lawfully present in the United States, and detaining them for their speech would undermine democratic principles and due process.
