    Eleanor Goldfield & Mickey Huff host this week’s program.This week, the violation and capitulation of higher education.  First up, I sit down with Zachary Levenson to talk about the war on sociology and what happens when the academic governing body deems all existing sociology textbooks illegal to teach in the state of Florida. Zach highlights the purposefully vague verbiage of new policies, the anti-intellectualism fueling them, and why educators must never self-censor or comply in advance.  Next up, cohost Mickey Huff sits down with Nolan Higdon to talk about his latest book MAGAcademy on how corporatism paved the way for the hostile takeover of Higher Ed. Nolan discusses the neoliberalization of academia, the purposeful devaluing of professors and treatment of students as customers that all predate the current attacks on higher ed. Nolan also warns of the dangers of compliance in advance and the smooth rhetoric of corporate takeovers wrapped in social justice ideologies. Notes:  Zachary Levenson is associate professor of sociology at Florida International University. He is the author of the award-winning book Delivery as Dispossession (Oxford University Press, 2022). Nolan Higdon is a political analyst, author, host of The Disinfo Detox Podcast, lecturer at Merrill College and the Education Department at University of California, Santa Cruz, and Project Censored National Judge.

    While corporate media focuses on the 24-hour wartime news cycle, a lot falls through the cracks, entire continents actually.  First up this week, we welcome back to the program journalist José Luis Granados Ceja to talk about the Greater America plan, and Operation Total Extermination, the latest US policy initiatives for Latin America. José Luis highlights media complicity in framing US relations with the Global South, how Mexico and its allies in the region are responding to these military threats and how the war in Iran is affecting this political landscape.  Next up, journalist and organizer Edith Romero talks about corporate colonialism in Honduras, and how the likes of Peter Thiel are piggy-backing on decades of imperialist extraction to create their own sovereign nations not subject to any Honduran oversight or accountability, and how this connects to the oppressive surveillance and anti-human eugenicist manifestations of AI here in the US and globally.       Notes:    José Luis Granados Ceja is an experienced journalist based in Mexico City, co-host of the Canal Once public affairs television program Sin Muros, as well as Soberana: The Mexican Politics Podcast.

Afeef explains the complex and interconnected networks of resistance and solidarity on the ground, the tangled web of imperialism, and how Lebanese journalists are, like their Palestinian counterparts, working together in impossible conditions to get the truth out about their situation in spite of compounding and violent censorship.  Next up, cohost Mickey Huff sits down with former Director of Student Media at Indiana University Jim Rodenbush to talk about his termination. Jim had the audacity to stand up for the renowned student newspaper the Indiana Daily Student when the powers that be didnt feel it should actually report the news anymore.

    Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s program.   First up, I sit down with educator and author Allison Butler to talk about her latest book:  The Judgment of Gender: How Women are Centered and Silenced in Pop Culture. Allison dissects this seeming contradiction of both centering and silencing women. We dive into some history to orient us in the present, consider the intersections of womanhood, the women in service to patriarchy, and more.    Next up, Dr. Shir Hever comes back on the show this time to give us a perspective on the war on Iran that you won’t likely hear, even in alternative and independent media. Shir prompts us to consider what the actual goals of the war are through understanding modern warfare, the US/Israeli relationship, and the paradoxical stability of totalitarianism staring at us from this current apocalyptic war.      Notes:    Allison T. Butler is Senior Lecturer and Associate Chair in the Department of Communication at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is the Vice President of the Media Freedom Foundation and the author of The Judgment of Gender: How Women are Centered and Silenced in Pop Culture, published by The Censored Press.       Dr. Shir Hever is a scholar of Israel’s occupation, apartheid and genocide, born in Israel and now living in Germany.

They discuss their ICE Warehouse Tracker tool, and how ill-prepared these sites are to house tens of thousands of people. Michael and Em also discuss what the effects would be on communities surrounding these warehouses, and how we can use data to better understand the massive planned network of disappearing people, and thereby act to stop it. Next up, James Schneider with the Nuestra America Convoy joins us to discuss the planned aid drop on March 21st in Havana, bringing together citizens from around the world to stand in active opposition to the US’ escalated punishment against Cuba for being a good example. James highlights the importance of these coordinated actions, inspired by the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza, the importance of engaging with the world as if sovereignty and justice mattered, and providing ways for people to express their solidarity.    Michael Wriston is a co-founder and investigative reporter at Project Salt Box. He brings over 20 years of military experience in analysis and reporting, with a specialization in contract and procurement analysis and data visualization, including the ICE Warehouse Tracker.
