A smart, funny, and important talk on advertising's image of women.
With wit and humor, JEAN KILBOURNE shows the preposterous body images, emotional styles, sexuality, and attitudes towards violence that consumer advertising presents to women (and men) as desirable and normal. Kilbourne's critique is far from radical, but it is very sound, very interesting, and in places very funny. Both men and women will find this talk well worth a listen.

Biden's America Staying on the Cold-War Path
April 23, 2021, 7:38 p.m.
On his way out of the Oval Office, US President Trump put Cuba on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism. This "terrorist" status is designed to weaken Cuba's economy.
It appears as if the Biden administration is in no hurry to lift the designation.
Biden the candidate had promised to improve relations with Cuba, but he has allowed the "terrorist" label to stand.
And, in fact, the Biden admin seems eager to ramp up hostilities against Russia over Ukraine. The US and NATO are arming, funding, and supplying intelligence to the coup government in Kiev, which has initiated military actions against the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Lukhansk, contrary to the Minsk agreements.
Ali Abunimah explores Palestinian identity in the diaspora; and ...
April 23, 2021, 2:41 p.m.
Today we feature Palestinian Journalist and author Ali Abunimah in a podcast moderated by Misbah Khan that explores Palestinian identity, specifically Ali Abunimahâs identity as a Palestinian raised in the Diaspora.
But first, from Abunimah's recent Electronic Intifada article: When AOC won an upset primary victory in June 2018, it came as a breath of fresh air for supporters of Palestinian rights. The month before she unseated a senior member of the Democratic Party, she had expressed her solidarity with unarmed Palestinians being gunned down by Israeli snipers as they protested in the besieged Gaza Strip. Her subsequent shift to the right, including her embrace of the Israel lobby and echoing of its propaganda, could be linked to reports that she may mount a primary challenge against Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. ... None of that would make AOC remarkable, but no one should mistake her for a courageous champion of human rights, especially those of Palestinians. When such a prominent member of the new progressives as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falls victim to the Israeli lobby and begins to mouth their false narrative, it is more than disappointing, it is devastating.

Pass The Peoples Ordinance Rally - Community Demands Control of Policing in Chicago
April 22, 2021, 8:27 p.m.
Speakers at the rally across from Chicago City Hall where the first in person council meeting since the start of the pandemic would take place that morning . The demand is for the Empowering Communities for Public Safety Ordinance to be moved from the "Public Safety" Committee into the council for a vote.
Adam Toledos is the13 year old boy who was recently shot and killed as he stood with his hands in the air by a Chicago cop.
Anjanette Young is the black social worker whose apartment was broken into by Chicago police as she stood nude getting ready for bed. Police forced her to stand naked, handcuffed for 40 minutes while they looked for drugs, as she repeatedly told them they had the wrong apartment.
The ECPS Ordinance would end the impunity with which these police outrages occur.
Gus Newport, former mayor of Berkley,Ca speaks about the reforms to policing he accomplished in the 70's, Danny Glover speaks of the continuing fight for justice and the importance of
the activists now engaged in the historic campaign in Chicago; one being watched across the country and around the world.
Gerald Reed, whose life sentence was recently commuted by
Governor Pritzker, his conviction being based on a tortured confession, speaks of his commitment to help those prisoners, his family for 30 years, that he left behind and the importance of the ECPS ordinance to protect children from what was done to him at the hands of a corrupt police and judicial system.
