Hear from Obaidullah Baheer, a lecturer at the American University of Afghanistan and Kardan & expert on negotiations with the Taliban. The Senate passed the Biden infrastructure bill, a massive giveaway to corporations, with votes from Democrats and Republicans, including Mitch McConnell. The Democrats also have a truly meaningful anti-poverty bill that they say will be tied to the infrastructure bill. What does all of this mean and what will be required to get these important pro-worker, pro-family measures passed? David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect & author, most recently of “Monopolized: Life in the Age of Corporate Power,” explains. The UN put out a new report about climate change, and guess what? It's extremely bad, getting worse, and definitely caused by humans? So why aren't any media talking about the real root cause: capitalism. Max Ajl, author of the new book “A People’s Green New Deal” & researcher with the Tunisian Observatory for Food Sovereignty, breaks it down.

Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through. We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
