SIGNAL EMERGENCY — TRANSMITTER FAILURE IN PROGRESS

KPFK’s Mt. Wilson transmitter is failing. If it goes down, much of Southern California will go silent. A generous supporter is matching all donations — but only as they come in.

  • "Economy of Genocide": U.S. Sanctions U.N. Expert Who Reports on Corporate Profits from Israel's Gaza War

    We speak with United Nations expert Francesca Albanese, one day after the Trump administration announced it is imposing sanctions on her over her advocacy for Palestinian rights. Albanese has served as the U.N. special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 2022. She recently released a report highlighting dozens of companies aiding Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory and fueling its genocidal war machine in Gaza, including U.S. tech giants. Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized Albanese’s work as “political and economic warfare” against the United States and its allies. “It seems that this administration is quite allergic to justice,” says Albanese, speaking to Democracy Now! from Slovenia. “It’s trying to distract us from where our focus should be: What’s happening to the Palestinians in the little that remains of their tormented land, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.”

  • "Apocalypse in the Tropics": Brazilian Filmmaker on Evangelicals, Bolsonaro & Trump's Tariff Threat

    Brazilian filmmaker Petra Costa’s latest documentary, Apocalypse in the Tropics, explores the impact of evangelical Christianity on Brazil’s political landscape. Once a small minority, evangelicals now constitute about 30% of Brazil’s population and played a key role in the rise of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. “It’s one of the fastest-growing religious shifts in the history of mankind,” Costa tells Democracy Now! She says right-wing evangelicalism in Brazil is largely a U.S. import, after Washington sought to undermine the influence of left-wing Catholic teachings during the Cold War. U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to impose 50% tariffs on Brazil, partly as retribution for what he calls the “witch hunt” against Bolsonaro, now facing trial in Brazil for an alleged coup attempt following his defeat in the 2022 presidential election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Apocalypse in the Tropics is available on Netflix starting July 14. Costa’s previous film, The Edge of Democracy, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
