Freedom Side Live hosts Eugene Puryear and Rania Khalek breakdown the most significant takeaways. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit Congress after making a plea to the United Nations for more weapons. Zelenskyy’s speech comes just weeks before a potential government shutdown in which a $24 billion weapons package for Ukraine might be the central issue. Breakthrough News Editor-in-Chief, Ben Becker, joins the show to discuss Zelenskyy’s UN speech and what a potential end to the conflict might look like. The Biden administration has given $6 billion of confiscated Iranian oil money back to Iran in exchange for 5 US prisoners held in the Islamic Republic. The US is also releasing five Iranians imprisoned in US jails for violating US sanctions against Iran. Mazda Majidi, an organizer with the ANSWER Coalition, tells us what this prisoner swap means in the larger context of decades of frayed relations between the two countries. A few days after the Dominican Republic shut down its border with Haiti over a border dispute, Joe Biden called on the UN to militarily intervene in Haiti amid an uptick in violence. The call for intervention has been met with widespread criticism given the long history of human rights abuses by UN peacekeepers in Haiti and other countries. We are joined by two guests to discuss: Edwidge Danticat, renowned Haitian-American novelist, and Mamyrah Prosper, International Coordinator of Community Movement Builders and Co-Host of the WBAI show “Haiti: Our Revolution Continues.” Autoworkers at the Big Three US Auto Giants have gone on strike. United Auto Workers President, Shawn Fain, has said that additional workers will strike if the hugely profitable automakers don’t deliver a fair contract. Husayn Karimi, Organizer with the Party for Socialism and Liberation discusses the latest developments surrounding this historic strike and what implications it may have for the labor movement as a whole. Nearly a year after the end of armed conflict in Ethiopia, the UN is still accusing Eritrea of committing human rights abuses in Tigray. Elias Amare, a contributing editor and host of Horn of Africa TV and veteran political activist of the Eritrean struggle for liberation discusses recent attempts to continue to smear Eritrea for the role it played in Ethiopia. #BreakThroughNews Wed, 08 Apr 2026 22:25:34 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/efdb9448-22d5-44b9-bba6-da6c47a931b9 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
