Joshua Clark Davis - Police Against the Movement

A talk by author Joshua Clark Davis to mark the publication of his book of the same name. Joshua Clark Davis is an associate professor of U.S. history at the University of Baltimore, and his research has earned awards from the Fulbright Program, the Silvers Foundation, and the NEH Public Scholars Program. He's joined by moderator Chenjerai Kumanyika, host of the podcast Empire City, and son of Herb Callendar, a '60s era civil rights activist who later changed his name to Makaza Kumanyika. Joshua Clark Davis' book, Police Against the Movement, shatters one of the most pernicious myths about the 1960s: that the civil rights movement endured police violence without fighting it. Instead, activists confronted police abuses head-on, staging sit-ins at precinct stations, picketing department headquarters, and blocking traffic to protest officer misdeeds. In return, organizers found themselves the targets of overwhelming political repression in the form of police surveillance, infiltration by undercover officers, and retaliatory prosecutions aimed at derailing their movement. The talk took place on November 6, 2025 at The Word Is Change, a radical bookstore in Brooklyn, NY. https://www.thewordischange.com/

TWIP-251116

Today, we begin with a question that refuses to die: Why has the world ganged up on Palestine? Why have more than sixty countries—powerful, wealthy, and self-proclaimed defenders of human rights—lined up behind Israel as it wages a campaign of annihilation against a besieged, stateless people? This is not just war. This is genocide. And it is not being committed in isolation. It is being funded, armed, and politically shielded by a global coalition of complicity. According to UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s report, over 60 member states have contributed to Israel’s assault on Gaza—through weapons, surveillance tech, military aid, and diplomatic cover. These include the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, and Australia. But also Arab states like Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE, who enforce the blockade, normalize relations, and offer logistical support. Together, they have enabled the destruction of homes, hospitals, schools, water systems, and entire families. Together, they have tried to erase Gaza from the map. And together, they have failed. Because the people remain. Holding on to every grain of sand. Holding on to the name: Palestine. We demand answers. Why does the world help Zionists steal the land from its rightful inhabitants? Why do they reward apartheid with trade deals, arms contracts, and diplomatic immunity? Why do they silence the truth, criminalize solidarity, and punish resistance? This is not just about Palestine. It’s about the moral collapse of the international order. It’s about the Genocide Convention being shredded in real time. It’s about the cost of silence—and the price of complicity. So today, we name the countries. We trace the weapons. We follow the money. And we ask the question that history will not forgive us for ignoring: Why did the world choose genocide over justice? Stay with us. This is This Week in Palestine. And this is where the silence ends.

The First Nuclear Chain Reaction - Enrico Fermi and Henry Moore (ONE of TWO) - ARCHIVE

Historian Iain Boal tells the story of The Beginning of the Nuclear Age (ONE of TWO) The Italian physicist Enrico Fermi set off the first nuclear chain reaction in an underground tennis-court at the University of Chicago in December 1942. His experiment led directly to the building of the plutonium bomb that destroyed the city of Nagasaki. There are competing claims as to the beginning of the nuclear age. Was it the day of Trinity, was it Hiroshima, or was it Fermi with his willingness to risk a nuclear explosion in the middle of a crowded city. But more important than the date is the need to comprehend the fundamental change that the beginning of the nuclear age has brought about. Albert Einstein said that the unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking; and "thus we drift toward unparalleled catastrophe." Iain Boal's story is intriguing because it places this quote into a new context. He begins by briefly setting back the clock - reminding us of the earliest militant resistance to the beginning of the industrial age. Iain Boal was educated at Oxford, Cambridge and London Universities. He has taught at Harvard and Stanford and is affiliated with the Geography Department at UC Berkeley. Recorded in March 2002 at a series of TUC Radio events where scientists and historians met with a small circle of friends. They gave previews of projects that had not yet appeared in any public space.
