Today Through Jewish EyesAsking Wolves to Tend Sheep Never Ends Well for the Sheep! S1 E29
When a conference or seminar is organized, it is common sense to gather a panel of the foremost experts on the topic at hand. The last thing that the organizers want to be accused of, is that they have gathered a panel of people who have not earned the right to speak on any given topic. You would not gather a group of white supremacists or KKK members to speak on the ills of slavery, just like you would not ask a group of neo-Nazis to speak on Israel's right to exist. In reality, such gatherings might take place...2020-12-0714 min
Under the Tree: A Seminar on Freedom with Bill AyersKnow What Time It Is ft. Barbara RansbyVoter suppression may be the only strategy left for the reactionaries, but, truth-be-told, voter suppression is as American as cherry pie, baked deep in the national DNA.

It’s a settler-colonial, racial capitalist system, and the founding documents are crystal clear: power will be exercised by and for the few. A fundamental revolutionary duty—and really the responsibility of anyo...2020-11-1240 min
