In the past year, the city of Jenin in the West Bank has become a particularly sharp thorn in the side of the Israeli occupation. On July 4th and 5th, Israeli forces swept into Jenin Refugee Camp in an attempt to suppress a rising armed resistance emanating from the area. Despite slaughtering 12 Palestinians, Israel accomplished little of military value in the operation, failing to flush out resistance forces or even take and hold the refugee camp. For all its brutal repression, the truth is that Israel today is far weaker than it has been in the past. Externally, international opinion, and particularly Jewish opinion, is turning against occupation and apartheid. And internally, Israel is riven by the judicial crisis and protest movement that has developed in opposition to Netanyahu's government. Yumna Patel of Mondoweiss and Meron Rapaport of +972 Magazine join The Marc Steiner Report for a look at Israel's war on Jenin.Yumna Patel is the Palestine News Director for Mondoweiss.Meron Rapoport is an editor at Local Call, a joint project of 972 Advancement of Citizenship Journalism.Click here for the episode transcriptStudio / Post-Production: David HebdenHelp us continue producing The Marc Steiner Show by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-pod-mssSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/nl-pod-stLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Jessup, Maryland is home to the state's only women's prison, the Maryland Correctional Institute for Women, commonly known as "The Cut". For years, advocates fought for a women's pre-release center, which would house prisoners eligible to go out on work release, receive an income, and take family leave. Despite passing a bill into law mandating the construction of a women's pre-release center, the state has only pledged $2 million towards its construction. Monica Cooper, founder and Executive Director of the Maryland Justice Project, joins Rattling the Bars to break down the significance of the pre-release center, why the state government is dragging its feet, and the real impact official inaction is having on women in The Cut.Studio Production: David Hebden, Cameron GranadinoPost-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-pod-rtbSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/nl-pod-rtbLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

The central place of sports in American life lends immense influence to athletes to shift the culture of the country—and for more than 150 years, Black athletes have done just that. Few scholars are as attuned to the intricacies of this history as renowned sociologist Dr. Harry Edwards. From his role in shaping the events of the 1968 Olympics to the politics of Colin Kaepernick, Edwards is just as much a participant in this history as a student and teacher of it. Now 80 years old, Dr. Harry Edwards joins Edge of Sports as he embarks on his "Last Lectures," a final project to close his long career as a public intellectual.Dr. Harry Edwards is a renowned sociologist whose work examines the relationship between race, sports, and politics. He is the author of The Revolt of the Black Athlete.To read the episode transcript: https://therealnews.com/how-black-athletes-shaped-150-years-of-us-politicsStudio Production: David Hebden, Cameron GranadinoPost-Production: Taylor HebdenOpening Sequence: Cameron GranadinoMusic by: Eze Jackson & Carlos GuillenHelp us continue producing Edge of Sports with Dave Zirin by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:Donate: https://therealnews.com/eos-pod-donateSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/eos-pod-subscribeLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

The United Auto Workers' contract negotiations at the Big 3 automakers – Ford, GM, and Stellantis – just began. Their current labor contracts expire in mid-September, and the new UAW leadership has been crystal clear: they're not afraid to take 150,000 of its members out on strike if their demands aren't met. This would be less than two months after the potential strike of 340,000 Teamsters at UPS. In this bonus episode, we discuss the renewed militancy of the UAW, and the reform movement, Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD), which shocked the labor world for taking control of the union leadership earlier this year.There is no labor movement resurgence without the resurgence of labor in manufacturing, but the UAW has also been a leader in the upsurge of higher education organizing over the past five years. To discuss all this, we spoke with two newly elected UAW officers: Brandon Mancilla, Director of UAW Region 9A, and Dan Vicente, Director of UAW Region 9. *Hosted by ⁠Teddy Ostrow⁠Edited by Teddy OstrowProduced by NYGP & Ruby Walsh, in partnership with ⁠In These Times⁠ & ⁠The Real News⁠Music by ⁠Casey Gallagher⁠Cover art by ⁠Devlin Claro Resetar⁠**Support the show at ⁠Patreon.com/upsurgepod⁠.Follow us on Twitter ⁠@upsurgepod⁠, Facebook, ⁠The Upsurge⁠, and YouTube ⁠@upsurgepod⁠.***Show NotesChris Brooks, "⁠How the UAW Went from a Militant, Trailblazing Union to a Corrupt, Dealmaking One⁠," In These Times, March 5, 2020.Luis Feliz Leon, "⁠'There’s a Real Fight Coming': Newly Elected UAW Reformer Daniel Vicente on What's Next,⁠" In These Times, March 8, 2023.Alex N.

The mysterious death of Emily Hauze at the Park Charles apartment building in Baltimore more than a decade ago continues to produce vexing details that raise questions about the official police report. According to police, Hauze fell down the trash chute of the apartment building while looking for a bathroom. Aside from the implausibility of this theory, there's also the fact that another person, Harsh Kumar, died in exactly the same way in the same building just one year before Hauze. Following previous reporting on the deaths of Hauze and Kumar, Land of the Unsolved returns for a fresh look, drawing on a previously unreleased police interview with the last person to see Hauze alive.For episode one of this series: https://therealnews.com/baltimore-trash-chute-deathsFor episode two of this series: https://therealnews.com/the-critical-evidence-police-kept-secret-in-baltimores-deadly-trash-chute-case Production: Taya Graham, Stephen Janis, Jayne MillerPost-Production: Stephen JanisThe Real News is an independent, viewer-supported, radical media network.
