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

Donald Trump visited South Korea last week, meeting with both presidents Xi Jinping and Lee Jae Myung on the sidelines of the APEC leaders’ summit. Dae-Han Song joins Amanda Yee this week to discuss the agreements that came out of these meetings, how China won this latest round of the ongoing trade war, and the protests that erupted in South Korea in response to Trump’s visit. Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a weekly show where we will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.

The Trump administration is escalating toward full-scale war with Venezuela, with warships, B-52 bombers, and promises of land strikes, after already killing at least 57 fishermen in “extrajudicial assassinations,” says José Luis Granados Ceja, a Mexican journalist with Venezuela Analysis. He calls the U.S. a “rogue government acting with impunity” and stresses that a military invasion “will not be easy – they will not be welcomed as liberators as they tried to tell us with the same lies as they did with the invasion of Iraq.” Ceja discusses Venezuela’s mobilization of armed forces and the Bolivarian Militia, while regional solidarity movements insist, “We are not going to allow U.S. boots on our territories – full stop.” #breakthroughnews

Johana Tablada de la Torre, Deputy Director of U.S. Affairs at Cuba’s Foreign Ministry, joins the show as Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest ever in the Atlantic, pounds the Caribbean, as Cuba reels from shortages caused by the genocidal U.S. economic blockade. She discusses Cuba’s massive evacuations and disaster preparedness, the island’s efforts to protect human life, and the global push to condemn the 63-year blockade, as 165 nations at the U.N. once again isolate the U.S. for its policy of starvation and deprivation. #breakthroughnews

Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of Drop Site News and one of the few Western reporters in regular contact with Hamas leaders, breaks down the Middle East’s shifting power dynamics and Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza, including Tuesday night airstrikes that killed over 100 people, 46 of them children, despite the so-called ceasefire. He details how Egypt and Turkey keep Hamas “severely weakened but not destroyed” to maintain leverage, while Saudi Arabia and the UAE quietly back Israel’s ongoing genocide, fearing Hamas inspires resistance at home. Scahill warns that Trump and Netanyahu have turned mass murder into “a business opportunity for imperial America,” showing how U.S. complicity, Arab state corruption, and Democratic Party silence allow Israel’s “war of annihilation” to continue under the guise of peace. #breakthroughnews

Fifty years ago, there were 71 major US railroad companies. Now just 4 rail corporation control 90% of the market — and two of them are on the verge of merging. Combined, they would have the power to dictate the price of shipping almost anything in America.

He wrote a book with the same title just a couple of years later. The Cold War had finished, the USSR had collapsed, liberal democracy and market capitalism reigned supreme, and it wasn’t going to change. And yet in the last few years, the script has moved quite significantly. History has returned. Emblematic of that has been the conflict between Russia and Ukraine which began in 2022, although of course, you can date that back to 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea. Today’s guest on Downstream is Serhii Plokhy, professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard University. He offers a deep history of Russia and Ukraine, the conflict, where it comes from, and where it sits within the broader sweep of collapsing empires. He’s also got a new book out, about nuclear weapons and nuclear energy: The Nuclear Age. They discuss what is driving Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, almost four years after it began. What does Putin’s stated aim of ‘de-Nazification’ really mean? What role does Russia’s nuclear arsenal play in determining the shape of the conflict? And, in an increasingly multipolar world where history has indeed come back, is nuclear proliferation within the next ten years likely?
