    "What's at Stake is Everything": Leqaa Kordia is Still in ICE Detention

    *This episode was originally published on the "5-4" podcast in November 2025.* Rhiannon interviews two of the lawyers who represent Leqaa Kordia, the Palestinian woman who is "the last of the Columbia protesters in ICE detention." They discuss the legal procedural tricks ICE has used to keep Leqaa in custody, and what Leqaa's case means for all of us. Leqaa Kordia has now been in ICE custody for more than 11 months. In early February 2026, Leqaa was hospitalized after experiencing a seizure, but her whereabouts and condition were not given to her family or her legal team. She is now back in ICE detention, where she reported that she was chained continuously for more than 72 hours during her hospitalization. Her legal cases are ongoing.  Sign the petition to FREE LEQAA KORDIA: bit.ly/freeleqaa Follow the Free Leqaa Campaign on ig: @freeleqaakordia

    The Truth About Donald Trump's Board of Peace

    Trump's Board of Peace governance plan for Gaza is anything but. We discuss the ins and outs, from the $1 billion entry fee for individual Board membership, to the plan's complete lack of meaningful Palestinian participation in their own governance. Pay attention, because U.S.-led plans for Gaza are a preview for the billionaire class' vision of the future: a world full of privatized, unregulated, exploitative fiefdoms from which low-wage labor and resources are extracted for further enrichment of the few.

    How AIPAC and the Israel Lobby Really Work

    Yara and Rhiannon are joined by two organizers from the AIPAC Out of U.S. Politics campaign to discuss the billionaire-funded, propaganda-pushing Israel lobby in the United States, and how the "America First" vs. "Israel First" discourse doesn't accurately capture the role AIPAC and its network play in kneecapping democracy, war-making and profiteering, and advancing both the U.S. and Israel's overlapping interests in Palestine and around the world.

    America's Forever Wars in the Middle East

    From Egypt to Iraq to Palestine and beyond, the U.S. war machine is the vehicle through which America de-develops, subjugates, and extracts from the global south. In this episode, Yara and Rhiannon are joined by Miriam and Taher from the PYM to discuss "America's Forever Wars in the Middle East," the four-part course they recently taught about how the United States established and maintains its position at the top of the global geopolitical hierarchy, through the lens of its war-making and profiteering in the Middle East.   You can access all four lectures and the course reading materials from "America's Forever Wars in the Middle East" for free by registering at www.peoplesforum.org/foreverwars

    The Case Against Israel's Genocidal Soldiers In this episode, Rhiannon interviews Jake Romm of the Hind Rajab Foundation to talk about the work HRF is doing to pursue accountability for the perpetrators of genocide in Gaza. They discuss what justice looks like after genocide, how international law can be used to isolate and disempower war criminals, and how legal accountability is one necessary step towards building a new world order where colonial genocide is a thing of the past.
