House Passes Non-Profit Killer Bill, Netanyahu Has a Warrant, and More

On today's episode we begin with WMU's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine renewing their calls for ceasefire resolution regarding the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

 

Lawrence joins us to discuss an alarming piece of legislation that just passed the house that would allow the Treasury Secretary to strip non-profit organizations of their status if they have ties to "terrorism" (i.e., condemning the genocide in Gaza).

 

We look at how Netanyahu has been issued an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court, and talk about the unhinged response of the U.S. in comparison to the rest of the world.

 

We discuss some local news before talking about the Trump administration's cabinet picks and plans, and what it bodes for the working class. We close with an article from The Nation discussing the history of mass deportation plans in the U.S.
