Palestinian writer and analyst Muhammad Shehada joins the show to discuss Israel’s ongoing genocide and assault on Gaza, including the horrific r@pe of Palestinian hostages that mainstream media ignores, and the deadly continuation of airstrikes under the so-called ceasefire. He discusses how Israel is using the “Yellow Line” to divide the Gaza Strip, impose proxy rule, restrict aid, and engineer permanent despair — with expulsion and entrenched control as the ultimate goal — as Trump claims a supposed “peace.” #breakthroughnews

BreakThrough’s Rania Khalek spoke with Jamaal Bowman about the Democratic Party’s response to Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in Brooklyn. Watch the full HD stream of BreakThrough’s election night coverage at patreon.com/breakthroughnews.

Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City mayor marks a significant advance for progressive politics, winning broad support despite a right-wing backlash, Islamophobic attacks, and red-baiting from both Republicans and the Democratic establishment. Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss how his modest reforms like taxing billionaires slightly more, subsidizing groceries, and expanding public transit—policies designed to ease inequality without threatening capitalism— proposals triggered panic among elites. While the victory is significant, Puryear and Khalek emphasize the limits of reform within entrenched capitalist structures and the need for ongoing grassroots pressure to hold the administration accountable. #breakthroughnews

But a lot can happen in a year, and Starmer’s approval has tanked, making him the second most unpopular leader in Europe. Across Britain, voters seem to be turning their backs on the two-party system that has dominated British politics since the 1800s, looking to Reform on the right, the Greens and Your Party on the left, for a political offering that meets the moment. On Downstream this week is investigative journalist Paul Holden. In conversation with Ash Sarkar, they discuss the book Holden has spent the last four years writing. The Fraud is a meticulously researched account of the political machinations at the heart of the Labour Party currently ruling Britain. How did Holden first get hold of a cache of leaked Labour Together emails, pointing him towards wrongdoing by a little-known member, Morgan McSweeney? What was it like to watch from the sidelines as that same McSweeney rose through the ranks, becoming Keir Starmer’s chief of staff and, according to Andrew Marr, the most powerful man in Labour history? What role did McSweeney’s political group Labour Together play in sabotaging the Corbyn political project? And does Holden think we should believe McSweeney’s claims that they committed massive electoral funding fraud by mistake? 00:00 Intro 01:47 Formative Years in Apartheid South Africa 05:42 Accidentally Becoming an Investigative Journalist 11:26 First Suspicions Towards Labour Together 15:36 Who Is Morgan McSweeney? 20:16 Why Is the Labour Party So Factional? 25:04 McSweeney’s Purge of the Labour Party 30:20 ‘So Many People Knew’ 35:31 Starmer’s Leadership Ambitions 41:24 How McSweeney and Starmer Joined Forces 49:50 Labour Together’s Hand in the Antisemitism Crisis 58:30 What Was Operation Red Shield? 1:01:43 Pretending to be Leftists 1:06:52 The Conspiracy Against Corbyn Explained 1:09:11 McSweeney’s Dirty Money 1:15:37 How Does This Shape British Politics? 1:22:25 Who Will Succeed Starmer?

After winning an absolute majority, Zohran Mamdani began his speech by quoting socialist leader Eugene Debs about the dawn of a new era. While wishing Andrew Cuomo well in his "private life" he says "let this be the last time I ever utter his name."

Tech giants are pouring billions into enormous data facilities, often promising jobs and economic revival to towns hit hard by factory closures. But are those promises real? We went to rural Minnesota, now a hot spot for massive hyperscale data centers, to investigate what’s really at stake for rural America and how communities are pushing back. This is a story about more than just technology; it's about who gets to control the resources and who pays the price.

On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 11/06 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests: Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear break down Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s historic New York mayoral victory — a political earthquake that rattled billionaires, defied both parties, and energized millions demanding real change. They will discuss how Mamdani now faces threats not just from Trump and the far right, but from entrenched city institutions, a hostile bureaucracy, and pro-corporate Democrats — setting the stage for a showdown between New York and Washington’s ruling elite. Muhammad Shehada, Palestinian writer and analyst, joins the show to discuss Israel’s ongoing genocide and assult on Gaza, including the horrific rape of Palestinian hostages that mainstream media ignores, and the deadly continuation of airstrikes under the so-called ceasefire. He will discuss how Israel is using the “Yellow Line” to divide the Gaza Strip, impose proxy rule, restrict aid, and engineer permanent despair — with expulsion and entrenched control as the ultimate goal — as Trump claims a supposed “peace.” Zahra Billoo, Executive Director of the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) joins the show to discuss the detention of British Muslim journalist Sami Hamdi, who continues to be held in ICE custody despite traveling on a valid U.S. visa. Billoo will discuss how Hamdi’s abduction—cheered on by extremist Laura Loomer—exposes how anti-Muslim bigotry and pro-Israel fanaticism are driving U.S. policy and targeting those speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Taylor Frazier McCollum, an organizer from Landover, Maryland, joins the show to discuss the grassroots campaign against the construction of a massive hyperscale AI data center in Prince George’s County. She will explain how residents have mobilized, organizing town halls and gathering 20,000+ petition signatures—to fight pollution, rising utility costs, and environmental racism, as communities nationwide push back against Big Tech’s billion-dollar data center boom. #breakthroughnews
