In a historic gut-punch to independent journalism, Congress has voted to defund public media. That includes the very institutions that bring you local news, climate alerts, culture, and grassroots truth-telling. Pacifica—our national network—has issued a bold response. Here’s what’s at stake.
In a special fund drive re-broadcast, Danny Goldberg has spent a lifetime in the music business as a personal manager, record company president, PR man and journalist, working with artists from Led Zeppelin to Steve Earle. His latest book is "Bloody Crossroads 2020: Art, Entertainment and Resistance to Trump." His previous books include "Serving the Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain: How the Left Lost Teen Spirit," and "Bumping into Genius: My Life Inside the Rock and Roll Business." Tune in and pledge!
Family and friends are reeling after an Israeli settler shot and killed Palestinian activist Odeh Muhammad Hadalin, an athlete, teacher and father of three young children. Hadalin helped produce the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, which follows Palestinians in the occupied West Bank community of Masafer Yatta as they struggle to stay on their land amid violent attacks by Jewish settlers. Hadalin’s cousin Alaa calls him an exceptionally “humane” and “peaceful” person in an interview with +972 Magazine and Local Call reporter Oren Ziv, who joins us from Tel Aviv. In January, the Trump administration lifted Biden-era sanctions on Hadalin’s alleged killer, Yinon Levi, who has been released on house arrest. Meanwhile, multiple members of Hadalin’s family are still imprisoned and awaiting hearings in Israel’s military court after they were arrested by Israeli soldiers following the shooting. Ziv describes how Israeli soldiers also conducted a raid on a mourning party days after Hadalin died of his injuries. “They forced us out. And even in the entrance to the village, they started to throw stun grenades,” Ziv says. “It’s important to say it’s not only an attack on the family, on his friends. It’s an attempt to prevent us, the journalists, [from] investigating the case.”
In Gaza, “the situation is beyond atrocious.” Aid worker Arwa Damon, a former CNN journalist and the founder of INARA, a nonprofit currently providing medical and mental healthcare to children in Gaza, describes the deadly lack of access to food, water and medicine in the besieged territory. The situation on the ground conflicts with the claims of Israeli officials, who are denying the existence of starvation conditions. “If anyone goes into Gaza, within 15 minutes, the vast majority of what Israel is claiming just unravels before your very eyes,” says Damon. She is currently helping to facilitate aid access from outside of Gaza, which she and many other humanitarian workers have been barred from accessing since February.
The war began decades ago, back when even Republicans favored a clean environment. But we are still nowhere near the final battle between climate champions and the fossil fuel industry profiteers who have now fully captured the GOP and the Trump Administration.

Israeli occupation forces intercepted the Handala and abducted and assaulted well-known labor activist Christian Smalls, the founder of the Amazon Labor Union.
Apologists for Israel are acting as though they were always outraged by the mass deaths of Palestinians, like applying a moral concealer to hide the blemishes of their hypocrisy.
By staying vigilant and working together, we can navigate these challenges.
