Pink-Notes Co-Host Cynthia Papermaster is Joined by Code-Pink Cofounder, Jodie Evans
Q: Tell us what's going on. Set the scene for us. Tell us what's happening there.
Jorge Torres explains the hunger strike among day laborers at the Delaney Hall Detention Center, the pepper spray and policing around the facility, and the broader context of workers' rights and immigration detention conditions.
Expanding Land Grabs of Indigenous Community Lands
Q: Welcome, Miguel. And let's start with you, Andrea. Why don't you give us a sense of what's been on your mind in the age of Trump? What kinds of issues are you dealing with?
Andrea Carmen outlines intensified encroachment on Indigenous lands, water scarcity, and aggressive promotion of transition minerals and green-energy projects that threaten sacred sites and water resources, especially in the U.S. Southwest and across the Lithium Triangle; she also frames these issues within international climate diplomacy and Indigenous rights.
Is the US trying to destabilize elections in Columbia
Q: Where does the election stand and what are the implications for Colombia and the region?
Dan explains that Cepeda is a progressive candidate in a runoff with a hard-right opponent who has backing from various elite sectors; the outcome could tilt Colombia toward more U.S.-aligned policies or a continuation of Petro-era social policies, with significant regional and security implications.
The National Lawyers Guild Demands Respect
Q: What is the restoration? What does it entail for US hegemony in Latin America?
The guest contends that the supposed restoration represents a reassertion of US political and economic control in the region, with strategies including diplomatic pressure, military posturing, and support for preferred domestic leadership while suppressing leftist movements.
The National Lawyers Guild Demands Respect
Q: What is the grand plan? Do you think that if Trump has his way, what's the vision that they have in mind for us, if people don't resist, if people don't stand up?
Camilo suggests that the plan is to restore US regional dominance, likening it to a modern Condor-like push, and emphasizes mobilization and sustained resistance to prevent interference in Latin American elections.
