How You Can Show Solidarity With The Latin American Pink Tide
In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Julie Varughese, Editor of Toward Freedom to discuss a recent regional meeting of the National Unity Platform in the US and the role of neo-colonialism in fomenting conflict in east Africa to support the extraction of resources, how neo-colonialism continues to keep the continent underdeveloped and projects an image of humanitarianism through western aid while looting resources,recent efforts by the US to force African countries to tow the western line on the war in Ukraine and stop alignment with China, and how capitalism has evolved to cannibalize people based in the imperial core and why broader scopes of solidarity are important.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Nate Wallace, co-host of Red Spin Sports to discuss the new eleven game suspension for Deshaun Watson following allegations of sexual assault and how the whole saga has been handled by Watson, the Cleveland Browns , and the NFL, NCAA officials beginning to crack down on potential violations of new name, image, and likeness rules and how this crackdown presents another attempt to retain control over student athletes, an upcoming documentary which covers the trafficking of Cuban baseball players to the US and the missing context of the blockade in much of this coverage, and why any sort of reform to disempower traffickers is dead on arrival.
Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by James Early, Former Director of Cultural Heritage Policy at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage at the Smithsonian Institution and board member of the Institute for Policy Studies to discuss developments in Latin America and how the the growing progressive movement is manifesting in the region, how a popular movement can fight for an end to the blockade of Cuba, and how we can learn from and be in collaboration with the growing progressive movement in Latin America.
