KPFA - Law & Disorder w/ Cat Brooks - Baltimore Plans $1Bn Jail Construction w/ David Fathi
play

04/03/24 • 24 min

Baltimore is planning a $1bn jail construction project, the most expensive state-funded project in Maryland ever. They’re using a consent decree for terrible jail conditions as justification for building a “better” jail. We’re joined by David Fathi, the Director of the American Civil Liberties Union National Prison Project, which brings challenges to conditions of confinement in prisons, jails, and other detention facilities, and works to end the policies that have given the United States the highest incarceration rate in the world. David is also involved in a more-than 30-year old lawsuit about conditions in Baltimore jails called Duvall v Hogan which is being problematically used to justify the new $1 billion jail construction plan.

California’s wildfire suppression planning leaves a lot to be desired. On today’s show, we’ll learn how our neighboring native communities are rejecting the state’s militaristic approaches of fighting fire, by stewarding a relationship with it. Our guests today – Deniss J Martinez and Tony Marks-Block – are researchers and two of the co-authors of a new article called “Indigenous Fire Futures – Anticolonial Approaches to Shifting Fire Relations in California”.

Deniss J Martinez is a research administrator in the Native American Studies Department at UC Davis where she researches collaborative governance, Indigenous environmental justice, and fire management. She is a descendant of Tutunaku people, and grew up in Shasta and Karuk homelands in colonized Northern California.

Tony Marks-Block is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology, Geography and Environmental Studies at Cal State East Bay in Hayward, on unceded Chochenyo Ohlone territory. Tony’s research is focused on the socio-ecology of small-scale subsistence practices, including prescribed and cultural fire.

KPFA - Law & Disorder w/ Cat Brooks - Pharmacies Share Records with Law Enforcement w/ Imani Gandy
play

12/22/23 • 18 min

A Washington Post investigation shows that law enforcement agencies have been accessing patient prescription records from pharmacies without warrants, a congressional investigation has found. Consumers are often unaware their private information is being handed over to authorities. Lawmakers surveyed eight major pharmacy chains — CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Cigna, Optum Rx, Walmart Stores Inc., The Kroger Co. and Rite Aid Corp. along with Amazon Pharmacy. Only Amazon Pharmacy said it had a policy of informing customers when law enforcement requested their records. None of the companies said it requires a warrant before providing pharmacy records to law enforcement agencies. To discuss what this could mean specifically for women and girls post the Dobbs decision, we’re joined by Imani Gandi, Editor-at-Large for Rewire News Group. She also co-hosts the podcast Boom! Lawyered.

On todays show – a conversation with Maya Wind, a scholar of Israeli expertise and militarism. Her new book is Towers of Ivory & Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom. As this book shows, Israeli universities serve as pillars of Israel’s system of oppression against Palestinians. Towers of Ivory and Steel is a powerful exposé of Israeli academia’s ongoing and active complicity in Israel’s settler-colonial project.

Palestine Post: One Year Since October 7th

KPFA - Law & Disorder w/ Cat Brooks

play

10/07/24 • 61 min

Today marks one year since the Hamas attack on October 7th, 2023. We are joined once again by Khury Petersen-Smith, Michael Ratner Middle East Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he researches U.S. empire, borders, and migration The U.S. continues to openly endorse Israel’s expansionist foreign policy, moving more U.S. military assets into the region as Israel escalates its attacks in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and the West Bank. The devastation in Gaza and Lebanon is incomparable to what has taken place in prior wars, yet western media continues to diminish Israel’s indiscriminate killing of civilians or report on other evidence of war crimes. The U.S. was not simply led by Israel into this war, but willfully joined in. Internal emails recently obtained by Reuters reveal that the Biden Administration knew as far back as October 13, 2023 that the weapons they provided to Israel were being used to target civilians in violation of international law. Brett Murphy, who reports for ProPublica’s national desk, found that members of the Biden Administration worked overtime to expedite weapons transfers to Israel despite the concerns of White House officials that displacing Palestinian civilians en masse would lead to a humanitarian disaster. His reporting also exposes the outsized influence that defense industry lobbyists have on U.S. foreign policy. See Brett Murphy’s reporting here: https://www.propublica.org/article/israel-gaza-america-biden-administration-weapons-bombs-state-department In the wake of this news, CAIR—The Council on American-Islamic Relations is now renewing its calls to dismiss Secretary of State Antony Blinken and administration official Brett McGurk. Edward Ahmed Mitchell, national deputy director of CAIR joins us to explain the political thrust of those demands.

This week’s Resistance in Residence artists are Gabriele Christian and Chibueze Crouch who make up the performance duo OysterKnife.
