What comes to mind when you hear the words “crime” and “safety?” For many, these words evoke images of poor people stealing things, or police enforcing laws to suppress street crime. Our guest today on Sea Change Radio argues that there’s a whole set of crimes that have been intentionally omitted from the messaging we get and that, for many, “police” and “safety” are far from synonymous. This week we speak with Alec Karakatsanis, the founder and executive director of Civil Rights Corps. A former public defender and the author of “Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System,” Karakatsanis believes that much of our country’s perspective on crime and policing has been shaped by “copaganda,” the swaying of public opinion for the benefit of law enforcement. We look at the corrosive societal effects of historic and current police practices, examine how and why these wrongheaded approaches persist, and discuss the complicity of journalists and policymakers who fall for and then perpetuate the American mythology of crime and safety.
Sydney’s Qtopia museum puts queer history on display; international pressure stalls Ghana’s horrific anti-LGBTQ bill, queer Serbs protest police brutality, Biden defends diversity in his State of the Union address, a U.S. federal judge backs North Dakota religious belief versus trans healthcare, another federal judge blocks Texas from seeing P-FLAG’s trans/family files, and a Republican-sponsored bill would make pro-trans teachers in Missouri sex offenders.
All that and more this week when you choose “This Way Out”, the world’s audio oasis for LGBTQ+ news and culture.
The Israeli narrative makes Israel the victim of what they want us to believe was an unwarranted military invasion by Hamas, who had to penetrate a closely guarded separation wall to even get into Israel. Well today we hear some of that context in a conversation that English radio personality Owen Jones has with Palestinian attorney, Diana Buttu, who has represented Palestine in several negotiations with Israel over the years. She challenges how the story is told.
Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2024.04.00. (From the 2023 Vault) Is There Going To Be a Generational Reckoning on Conservative Values
With Clips from TLDR News, The Bipartisan Policy Center, Bill Cooper & C-Luke Youtube Channel, The Washington Post, CBS News, CBS Mornings, Thom Hartmann Program, Vox, Journey Youtube Channel, CNN, The Professional Left Podcast, The Al Franken Show, Beau of the Fifth Column, Brian Taylor Cohen and The FDR Library
Will there be a generational reckoning among the Millennial and Generation E, on conservative values? The origins for this episode began back in 2008 when my ears fell upon a segment on The Best of the Left Podcast with Jay! (still one of the favorite podcasts to listen to); I recount the story of the segment which included a generational difference in ideological principles amongst an Evangelical group, resulting in – well – you’ll see (though I think you can imagine what happened). The tether connecting that incident to the present day can be found in a Humanist Report video titled “Comedian Walter Matterson effortlessly exposes the Pro-Life Movement’s Hypocrisy”. From there I launch into a detailed talk about the commons and the uniformed needs of the wealthy before speaking handedly on imperial conservatism the modern strand of conservatism we are currently living with. Truthfully, the title to the episode is deceiving, in fact I may record an addendum dedicated to the original topic just to reconcile the gulf between what the title suggests the episode is about and what the episode is actually about. With that said, understand the topic of the episode is not entirely disconnected from the title. The deep conversation about The Commons sheds a light onto what is missing in the lives of the young people (and not so young people) within the two generations mentioned. It is this Giftology resonating deep in their soul which encourages the generational inhabitants to reject Capitalism and find fault with the consumption based systems that populate the world; a return to the Common’s, to finding and building on commonality, which’ll make the generation feel whole again. But in order to return there they must know what it is they are looking for or at least what it is they are missing, hence the long extended talk on the Commons, which is something I’ve been interested in learning about for over a decade. I do finally answer the question posed at the start of the episode, obviously the answer is yes why, well there may be a special Episode Segment released shortly to, well, you know. I hope you enjoy the episode.

The African Union has declared full support for Palestine, condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, and requested its 55 member states "to end all direct and indirect trade, scientific and cultural exchanges with Israel." But Kenya's government has pledged solidarity with Israel, and met large pro-Palestine demonstrations in the capital Nairobi with tear gas and arrests.
On February 24th, 2024, hundreds of people took to the streets in Kenya's second-largest city Mombasa, to "walk for Palestine" - among them, women and children carrying placards condemning the ongoing killing.

Brendan interviews Prof. Yaser Haddara at McMaster University about the academic boycott campaign. It was kicked off by Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights on Tuesday, March 5, with a rally and march of hundreds of MAC students, profs, campus workers, and community members to demand that the university cut its ties with at least two universities in Israel, which profit from the system of Israeli apartheid.
