Artie breaks down the Trump administration's latest attacks on covid vaccines, key moments from RFK's heated Senate testimony last week, and why calls to force RFK out of HHS need to include removing many of the figures he's managed to bring in with him.

Teaser - Dead Kennedys (09/08/25)

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/labour-nhs-plan-medicare-for-uk/
We are witnessing the final stage of the wanton destruction of our public health system – a blood-sacrifice on the altar of finance capital. From the 1980s’ introduction of an artificial purchaser-provider split through the creation of hospital trusts and the outsourcing of every possible periphery and then core service, we have reached the stage where the final stages of privatisation of our once-loved health service is being implemented. This is a conspiracy in which every major political party in Britain has been complicit, with politicians of every stripe heavily bribed to play their part in deceiving the people they pretend to represent in order that the NHS can be transformed into a cash cow for international finance capital. Under cover of such watchwords as ‘efficiency’ and ‘modernisation‘, the US model has arrived in Britain, and it is set to cost the working people dearly.

Falta oxigênio nos hospitais do Amazonas por causa da alta de Covid-19

This week's guest host on The Reason Interview with Nick Gillespie is Billy Binion, who talks with Jenin Younes, a civil liberties attorney who first gained national attention when she sued the Biden administration for pressuring social media companies to censor content it didn't like. That case, Murthy v. Missouri, ultimately reached the Supreme Court.

A former New York City public defender, Younes is now national legal director at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, where she is preparing to sue the Trump administration. She and Binion discuss her path to civil liberties advocacy, the threats to free speech coming from both the left and the right, and why defending the First Amendment should be a universal cause—even when that speech is offensive.

Defend Speech Even When Your Side Hates It

The coronavirus changed my life, and not for good, writes Carlos Fra-Nero in this first-person pandemic piece for Youth Journalism International.

In quarantine, even a 'people person' gets lonely, by Carlos Fra-Nero

Note: This episode was originally released September 27th, 2024 and is being aired today as we mark two years since the escalation of genocide in Palestine; we are sharing it again in particular for the guided facilitation portion that begins at 45:00. Additionally, this week's public episode on Thursday will be our discussion with organizers of Workshops for Gaza, which we are currently transcribing to accompany its release. That episode can be found here https://www.patreon.com/posts/140536777

Original description: Beatrice speaks with Rasha Abdulhadi about how it is vital to remain steadfast in our demands for Palestinian liberation. We discuss turning away from despair towards patience and boldness in our actions, why our demands must push for and beyond “ceasefire,” and draw connections between settler colonialism here and in Palestine; inviting us all to become more skillful in keeping each other alive.

Refusing Genocide, from Palestine to Pandemic w/ Rasha Abdulhadi

Hoy sábado 18 de octubre te contamos las noticias más importantes de la semana. Empezaremos con un tema que cuestiona las prioridades de nuestra Presidenta que sigue enviando petróleo subsidiado a Cuba mientras aquí continúa el desabasto de medicamentos, continuaremos exponiendo otra incongruencia de nuestro Gobierno que defiende la eliminación del Fondo de Desastres Naturales por corrupción, pero mantiene entre sus filas a su exdirector. Hablaremos de la demanda colectiva contra los respiradores Phillips que se trajeron durante la pandemia de Covid y que a pesar de que ha sido demostrado que su uso puede perjudicar la salud, siguen instalados en muchos de nuestros hospitales. Analizaremos el Premio Nobel de la Paz 2025 otorgado a María Corina Machado. Discutiremos la última reforma al código fiscal que podría amenazar la privacidad de las personas. Y terminaremos hablando con el padre de Berenice, la fotoperiodista que perdió la vida durante el Festival Ax Ceremonia para qué nos cuente cómo va el proceso de justicia.
