  • Western Bias and misrepresentation of Palestinian Resistance

    Big yikes at allowing the words “Hamas is like the Palestinian Taliban” in this ep. I’ve been disappointed in the past by the western bias of your discussions on this topic, but I think this might be the last straw for me. Perhaps y’all could try interviewing actual Palestinians connected to the resistance? Because repeatedly pointing out that Hamas is “right wing” without acknowledging that they work hand in hand with literal Marxists (PFLP) who study and teach leftist theory while physically d... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steal This Podcast, Please! w/Carl Deal and Tia Lessin
Q: So let's begin. Please talk about how this project came about and what the genesis of the name is.
The directors describe how they decided to center Amy Goodman and Democracy Now because the project began from a belief that her exclusive-left journalism philosophy deserved a documentary that highlighted its impact, the archive she's built over 30 years, and the training ground it provides for new journalists. They also explain that the title reflects a philosophy of sharing scoops widely and avoiding gatekeeping, staying true to a nonprofit, audience-driven model.
&&& - Clim&te Defi&nce w/ Nate Smith
Q: What do you do if the FBI knocks on your door?
Explain the situation calmly, ask for identification, insist on talking through a lawyer, and avoid answering questions without legal representation; use the moment to organize a response with legal guidance and public communication.
Power Authoritarianism w/Sarahana Shrestha
Q: What have been the political and practical hurdles to passing such a reform?
Hurdles include governor opposition, concerns about rate impacts during climate policy, and the challenge of building broad bipartisan support. The strategy relies on local organizing, district-level accountability, and presenting public power as the practical solution to escalating utility costs.
Power Authoritarianism w/Sarahana Shrestha
Q: How does the Hudson Valley Power Authority differ from the BPRA, and what is its status?
HBRA focuses on delivering public ownership for the region's delivery utilities by creating a not-for-profit state corporation that can acquire utilities, issue bonds, and replace a private board with a more democratic structure. It is framed as a practical, bottom-up approach to demonstrate how public power can work in practice.
Power Authoritarianism w/Sarahana Shrestha
Q: Could you summarize the Build Public Renewables Act and why it matters for the Hudson Valley?
The act aims to authorize and mandate publicly owned energy generation through NYPA, creating cheaper, locally produced power with labor protections, and reducing dependence on private utilities. It's a blueprint to shift from private to public ownership, starting in a defined region and potentially creating a statewide model.
