https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/8a66ae41-7bee-444e-b853-54b6085a3859 On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 2/06 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests: Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear will blast Donald Trump’s outrageous declaration that “the US will take over the Gaza Strip.” Trump’s team tried to reverse the statements made in a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel failed to seize control of Gaza, and now Trump, who refused to rule out US boots on the ground in Gaza, seems to think he can accomplish what Israel’s destructive genocide could not. Kurt Hackbarth, writer for Jacobin Magazine and host of Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast, joins the show to discuss Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s response to Trump’s 25% tariffs on Mexican goods. By successfully negotiating a one-month delay, Sheinbaum is forging a new path for US-Mexico relations: one defined by defense of sovereignty and refusal to yield to US intimidation. Akilimali Chomachoma, a journalist in the Democratic Republic of Congo, joins the show to provide a critical update on the devastating proxy war in the country, as Rwandan-backed M23 rebels advance toward the provincial capital of Bukavu. Chomachoma will discuss the reality on the ground, including the recent siege of Goma– which left 3,000 dead and hundreds of women reportedly raped– as the fight for the Congo’s vast mineral wealth continues to intensify. Dylan Saba, a Staff Attorney at Palestine Legal, joins the show to discuss Trump’s latest attacks on foreign students protesting for Gaza. Trump signed an executive order authorizing deportation of any international students participating in campus activism for Palestine. Saba will discuss the decades of efforts to censor and punish critics of Israel. Silky Shah, Executive Director of Detention Watch Network, joins the show to break down the Trump administration’s alarming move to transfer migrants to Guantánamo Bay, the notorious US military base synonymous with torture, abuse, and indefinite detention. Shah will explain how Trump’s plan to detain up to 30,000 migrants there, which will cost taxpayers greatly, marks a dangerous escalation in Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda. Katie Leonard, an organizer with the Party for Socialism and Liberation in Denver, joins the show to discuss how Aurora, Colorado, has become a flashpoint in the fight against Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Leonard will explain how in response to Aurora emerging as a right-wing epicenter of anti-migrant hysteria– residents, together with organizers, are rallying to fight back and defend their communities against the Trump administration’s criminalization of migrants. #breakthroughnews Wed, 08 Apr 2026 18:33:01 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/8a66ae41-7bee-444e-b853-54b6085a3859 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
