Nekima Levy Armstrong, civil rights attorney and activist, joins the show to discuss her arrest last week by the FBI and Homeland Security after protesting a church service over the pastor’s role as ICE acting field director. Armstrong will discuss the surveillance and targeting she has faced for opposing ICE terror and why it is necessary to confront the Trump administration’s escalating repression. Dr. Jemima Pierre, professor at the University of British Columbia and a member of the Black Alliance for Peace, joins the show as a federal judge blocks Trump’s termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants. She will discuss how the U.S. government criminalizes Haitians in the U.S. while advancing policies that destabilize their country. Lawrence Grandpre, Director of Research at Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle, joins the show to discuss how racist attacks on Somali childcare providers in Minnesota were used to justify sweeping cuts to federal childcare funding. Grandpre will explain how these attacks connect to a long history of racial backlash against social programs, arguing that brushing aside race as “identity politics” ignores how racism is used to gut progressive policies. Eugene Puryear and Rania Khalek break down the latest revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein case and provide updates on U.S.-Iran talks as Donald Trump escalates threats of war against Iran. 📅 LIVE Thursday, February 5 🕚 12 PM Eastern 🔔 Set a reminder and subscribe to Breakthrough News so you don’t miss it Wed, 08 Apr 2026 14:58:06 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/63cae2ea-a02a-4f71-be30-011928035a99 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
