Luis De Jesús, BreakThrough News journalist based in Havana, joins the show to discuss Trump’s escalating threats against Cuba following the U.S. attack on Venezuela. He explains how Cuba — still under a 60-year U.S. blockade, designated as a “State Sponsor of Terrorism” and now facing suspended oil shipments — remains in Washington’s crosshairs and describes the growing economic pressure and mood on the streets of Havana at a critical moment for the Caribbean. #breakthroughnews

Inspired by recent frustrations & backlash. And of course 70sRose Please stick around and listen to the whole video. Even if vintage fashion isn't your scene. I think you might learn something! It can be applied to any community. We must start self policing these spaces! One more thing that I forgot to mention in this video but I find that those who are able to separate these politics from their dress or say things like "why can't we just have fun hobbies without politics blah blah" is such an extremely privileged position, these are the exact people who would benefit under fascism. #vintagefashion #history #wwii #vintagestyle #1940s

Our guest this week was born in 1943, in what was then British India - modern day Pakistan. Unlike most, who have learned history through books and second-hand sources, he has witnessed first-hand a great deal of the 20th and 21st centuries. Tariq Ali founded Verso Books, the leading left-wing publishing house in Britain, as well as the New Left Review. He met Malcolm X, was friends with John Lennon and Hugo Chavez, and spearheaded the anti-Vietnam War movement. In conversation with Aaron Bastani, this week on Downstream we are talking about the ways we remember - and misremember - the 20th century, and how these events have a long tail that shape our present and future. How significant was the cultural revolution in China, in sparking anti-colonial struggles across Asia? How do the dynamics of the Cold War still dominate the mainstream media? And who are the substantial political figures and ideologies set to dominate the next decades of the 21st century? 00:00 Intro 02:41 Growing Up after the Collapse of Empire 07:02 Leading the Anti-Vietnam War Movement 11:46 The Role of Imperial Japan in the 20th Century 15:43 Why We Don’t Teach History Correctly 20:20 Increasing Government Control of Mainstream Media 26:20 Al Jazeera and US Interference 30:26 The Impact of the Soviet Union’s Collapse on the West 38:38 China and Ideology 45:37 China’s Rise 49:24 The US, Trump, and ICE 51:43 Did Tariq See the Collapse of the Soviet Union Coming? 1:03:59 The Naivety of Gorbachev 1:12:01 The Disappointment of Your Party 1:20:01 Should we ‘Nationalise Everything?’ 1:23:05 The Threat of Farage 1:25:17 Are We Heading Towards a Post-Literary Society? 1:28:54 The Decline of Germany 1:35:18 Resolution for Ukraine 1:39:30 The Role of Democracy 1:43:51 Why Has the Left Failed to Build Institutions?

Over 15,000 New York City nurses have launched the largest strike in the city’s history, demanding safe staffing, stronger patient protections, and fair compensation. Transplant nurse Delores Steele with the New York State Nurses Association describes emergency rooms as “horror shows” and blasts hospital executives for prioritizing profit while cutting nurses’ healthcare. She explains how understaffing directly threatens patient lives, and why this strike is a fight for both healthcare workers and the communities they serve. #breakthroughnews

A full 10% of NYC Trump voters turned around and voted for Zohran Mamdani. So we went to talk to them. These voters are done with the status quo. One New Yorker told us: "As Americans, we can realize it's not Republican versus Democrat. It's more of like a class war."

"You can murder children and still be received in central London for cocktails and canapés. If you take peaceful, direct action to prevent more children being murdered, the British state will arrest you." While profits soar for Elbit Systems, an Israeli weapons company, peaceful protestors waste away in jail. On Novara Live, Kieran Andrieu and Aaron Bastani take a deep dive into how and why this is allowed to happen.
