Cuba’s Families Code Exemplifies What Real Democracy Looks Like
In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Asa Winstanley, investigative journalist and Associate editor with The Electronic Intifada to discuss how the recent Labor Files leaks have revealed the targeting of progressive Labor Party members were targeted and harassed by pro-Israel lobby operatives , how right-wing Labor activists and the Israel lobby worked to bring down former Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn for the crime of proposing a small break from the neoliberal politics of the UK, the brutal campaign to threaten and expel members of the Labor left, and why pro-Israel elements, as the tip of the spear of reactionary politics, should not have a place in movements for liberation.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by technologist Chris Garaffa, co-host of the CovertAction Bulletin podcast to discuss the obscene amount of data collected by “shameware” apps which can monitor nearly every aspect of a user's everyday activities on their phone , the use of this software not only by churches but also by parents and the apparent power imbalances that make these spyware apps ripe for abuse, a recently revealed social experiment conducted by job search social media platform Linkedin without the consent of users that could have damaged the job prospects of users, how other so-called social experiments conducted by companies like Facebook reveal larger questions about who should be in control of things like social media,Google CEO Sundar Pichai's recent comments about budget cuts and layoffs at an all-hands meeting at Google as the company rakes in superprofits, and the privacy concerns raised by New York Governor Kathy Hochul's plans to install surveillance cameras in New York City subway cards.
Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Gloria La Riva, coordinator of the Cuba and Venezuela Solidarity Committee and co-founder of the Hatuey Project, hatueyproject.org to discuss the aspects of the recently approved families code in Cuba that have not been featured prominently in mainstream coverage, how the families code referendum and how it was crafted exposes the lack of democracy in the US, and how Colombian President Gustavo Petro is promoting peace with Venezuela after years of US-directed hostility.
