    Carl Nelson’s show is not just a broadcast, it’s a war room with an open door. The guests, elders, and insiders are dropping strategic intelligence our youth don’t even know exists.

This isn’t entertainment, it’s coursework for liberati... more

Willie Mukasa Ricks on Black Power, Kamm Howard on UN Reparations, & Sister Phile on Land Campaign
Q: What did the UN reparations vote mean for international accountability?
It provides a legal-style frame that strengthens call for reparations and creates leverage for enforcing accountability, though there is no enforcement mechanism; it shifts international dialogue and weight behind reparations efforts.
Zaki Baruti on Iran, Cuba & Akbar Muhammad, Senghor Baye on Africa & Black Cemetery Preservation
Q: What is the main legal relief they are seeking in court?
They are seeking a court finding that permits violations occurred, restoration of the cemetery to its historic state, equitable relief such as access to affected land, and damages or a constructive trust to prevent profit from the desecration.

Q: What is the potential impact of birthright citizenship being overturned by the Supreme Court?
Experts explain overturning could strip citizenship from millions born in the U.S. and unsettle longstanding protections, creating a new class of potential underclass and complicating access to rights and services.
