  • The lived reality of the racist prison system can get lost in the swirl of facts and figures surrounding mass incarceration. Frigid cells in winters and sweltering conditions in summers; the volatility and capriciousness of hostile guards and correctional staff; food barely fit for human consumption; isolation from one's community and deprivation from the routines and small freedoms that made up one's identity prior to incarceration. The trauma of such an experience is undeniable, and extends far beyond prison walls—from overpoliced communities subjected to the constant presence of police surveillance and terror, to the families and relationships put under the strain of separation. Dr. Da'Mond Holt returns to Rattling the Bars for the final installment of a two-part interview, this time speaking with host Mansa Musa and his friend Lonnell Sligh, about their respective experiences behind bars, and the implications of the prison system as a deliberate system of mass trauma affecting Black and other working class communities of color.

  • On May 2, students at the University of Toronto organized under the banner of UofT Occupy for Palestine seized King's College Circle at the university's St. George Campus, establishing what has come to be known as the People's Circle for Palestine. The People's Circle has now held its ground for over a month, withstanding threats from university administrators, police, and counterprotestors. Students and faculty have transformed the liberated zone into a space for popular education and community empowerment—breaking down the false distinction between the academy and the surrounding society. This solidarity from the wider Toronto community has been essential, as workers, First Nations, and other sectors of society have converged at the People's Circle to lend their solidarity to the student struggle. Award-winning journalist Samira Mohyeddin joins The Marc Steiner Show to give a firsthand account of the student encampment at UofT, and how its reliance on community solidarity has made the movement stronger.

  • Close to nine months into the genocide in Gaza, the Biden administration shows no sign of stopping the flow of arms and aid to Israel. Earlier in May, Biden declared that he was drawing a 'red line': should Israel invade Rafah, the southernmost corner of the Gaza Strip where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinian families have sheltered in tents for months, US assistance to Israel would end.Over the Memorial Day weekend, Israel began a punishing assault on Rafah's tent cities, killing countless Palestinians with US-manufactured bombs. As horrific images of charred corpses and decapitated infants spread around the world, the Biden administration denied its red line had been crossed. Many have been left justifiably wondering what it will take for Washington to cease its support for the genocide. Organizers with the Shut it Down for Palestine Coalition have an answer: if Biden will not impose a red line, the people will.

    On June 8th, tens of thousands of activists from around the country will converge on DC for a third national mobilization for Palestine in less than a year. This time, donned in red shirts, the mass mobilization will physically surround the White House to form a 'red line' of its own—demonstrating the power of the mass movement, as well as the growing public rejection of the US's role in enabling Israel's atrocities against Palestinians. Layan Fuleihan, Director of Education with The People's Forum, joins TRNN to discuss upcoming mobilization, and how the mass movement for Palestine is seizing moral authority after the Biden administration has thoroughly discredited itself.

    Despite now spending 47 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit, Leonard Peltier continues to be denied parole by the federal government of the United States. Why has the US so obstinately refused to free Peltier, despite decades of international outcry? The answer lies in the threat posed by what Peltier represents—the demands of the Indigenous liberation movement for sovereignty and justice after centuries of US settler colonialism. Historian Ward Churchill joins Rattling the Bars for a discussion on Leonard Peltier, the American Indian Movement, COINTELPRO, and more.

    In 1977, American Indian Movement member Leonard Peltier was convicted of the murder of two FBI agents, and has remained a political prisoner of the US ever since. Peltier's conviction has long been contested by activists and legal experts. Despite the recantation of three key witnesses, his case has never been brought back to trial. Peltier has been eligible for parole since 1992, and the federal government has ignored calls to free him for more than 30 years. Rachel Dionne Thunder joins Rattling the Bars to discuss Peltier's case and the radical vision of the American Indian Movement which the federal government has sought to repress through Peltier's incarceration.

    Across the country, Democrats are organizing campaigns to vote uncommitted in the primary elections. Yet the aims of this movement are to do more than simply register dissent against Biden's support for Israel's genocide in Gaza. The Uncommitted Campaign will pick up delegates in every state and congressional district where more than 15% of voters cast an uncommitted primary ballot—creating the possibility of leverage within the party at the upcoming DNC. Vote Uncommitted organizers from the state of Maryland join The Marc Steiner Show to discuss the campaign and its implications for the election.

    Seven months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, a student-led grassroots movement is spreading across the US and beyond, hearkening back to the student protests of the ‘60s that played a pivotal role in ending the US war in Vietnam. In what is being called the “student intifada,” with over 100 encampments going up at different college and university campuses, students, faculty, grad students, and other campus community members are exercising civil disobedience, occupying space on campuses, defying brutal repression from administrators and police, combatting skewed and wildly lopsided narratives in corporate media, and pressuring their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and financial institutions connected to Israel. In this TRNN livestream, which will take place on Thurs, May 2, at noon ET, we will be speaking directly with encampment organizers/participants from the University of Michigan, the Indiana University, and Stanford University, and we will be getting updates from encampments from New York to California.

    On April 10, OJ Simpson passed away at the age of 76. Although initially catapulted to fame by his career in the NFL and Hollywood, OJ's early success was ultimately eclipsed by his alleged murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her lover, Ron Goldman. The double-homicide, subsequent trial, and acquittal rocked the nation—sparking a media frenzy and a culture war that revolved around questions of racism, police corruption, domestic violence, and celebrity impunity. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez joins Dave Zirin on 'Edge of Sports TV' for a retrospective on the OJ trial and its consequences.

  • The oppression of Black people is more than just a historical or political question. The accumulated harms of centuries of slavery, segregation, mass incarceration, and racism in all forms have a psychological and medical effect, in addition to political and economic ones. Trauma, after all, describes the physical injury of the brain as a result of harmful experiences. At the scale of communities and generations, such trauma can be passed down and reproduced for decades, and even centuries. In the first of a two-part conversation, traumatologist Dr. Da'Mond Holt explains the medical reality of Black historical trauma, and what kinds of interventions and solutions are required to promote healing as a form of justice.

  • In the early 1980s, U.S. President Ronald Reagan launched a covert war to destroy the fledgling Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. It was brutal: Paramilitary war, CIA attacks, economic blockade, and more.

    It would wreak havoc on the country, killing tens of thousands and ravaging the economy. But an international solidarity movement stood up in response. And the Reagan government's hubris, and drive to fuel its war on Nicaragua, would break U.S. laws and lead to a shocking scandal in Washington: Iran Contra.

    In this episode, host Michael Fox walks back into the 1980s, to the U.S. response to revolution in Nicaragua and to the international solidarity that pushed back.This is Part 2 of Episode 10.

    Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present.

    In each episode, host Michael Fox takes us to a location where something historic happened — a landmark of revolutionary struggle or foreign intervention. Today, it might look like a random street corner, a church, a mall, a monument, or a museum. But every place he takes us was once the site of history-making events that shook countries, impacted lives, and left deep marks on the world.

  • The 1979 Nicaraguan revolution that overthrew a brutal U.S.-backed dictator ushered in a wave of hope in the Central American country. The new Sandinista government launched literacy and healthcare campaigns, carried out land reform and promised to improving the lives of all.

    But the United States, under president Ronald Reagan, feared the dominos would fall across Central America, and they unleashed assault on the country: paramilitary war, CIA attacks, economic blockade, and much more.

    In this episode, host Michael Fox, walks by into the 1980s, to the overthrow of dictator Anastasio Somoza and the beginning of both the Sandinista government and the U.S. response.This is Part 1, of episode 10.
