The Ruthless Truth

Ruth and Ira join us this week to debunk the narratives pushed by U.S. mainstream media, designed to manufacture consent for President Trump's military aggression toward Venezuela. They walk us through key moments in Venezuelan history, the socialist revolution and its long resistance to U.S. intervention, underscoring how these struggles connect to the broader fight of working people around the world.

Reminding our listeners that the assault on Venezuela, is not an isolated policy choice. It reflects a centuries-long pattern of U.S. imperialism and economic exploitation, a pattern that ultimately serves a single purpose: protecting U.S. corporate interests and maintaining global capitalist dominance.

Join Ruth and Ira for an interview with Palestinian advocate Zeyad Kadur, uncle of Mohammed Ibrahim.

Join Matthew and Ira for an interview with Sheridan Murphy from the American Indian Movement (AIM). On a day that reminds every Native person about the horrors committed for colonialism; we will talk about the origins of "Thanksgiving", Alligator Alcatraz, Indian history, Leonard Peltier and more.

Join Ira and Matthew to discuss how food insecurity and malnutrition shape the lives of millions. As the Thanksgiving feast approaches, it becomes impossible to ignore how many families are preparing for an empty table. Hunger is not abstract. It is a mother stretching groceries, a worker skipping meals, a family choosing between heat and dinner. This is the truth we refuse to look away from: We're all only three meals away from crisis.
