Samira Mohyeddin reports back from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights' Nakba exhibit, where she interviewed the protestors who opposed the fact that a Human Rights Museum would dare cover the Human Rights of Palestinians. Samira also talks about the alleged antisemitism crisis in Canada, the latest in Gaza and Iran, and responds to Jesse Brown of Canadaland. But first, Katie talks to Oliver Larkin about why he's running against Rep. Jared Moskowitz in Florida, and to Jawad Ali, a Palestinian American attorney whose family home in the West Bank was attacked by a violent Israeli mob.

Oliver Larkin is an activist, union organizer, and proud Democratic Socialist running for Congress to deliver for South Florida. A lifelong advocate for South Florida, Oliver has been at the front lines speaking out about climate resilience, public land, water privatization, immigration justice, and the national media’s erasure of South Florida from major political debates. Oliver's advocacy has spanned city halls, protests, and press pages. In South Florida, he’s fought the 100-year public land lease at Bahia Mar to luxury developers in Fort Lauderdale, protested the expansion of Waste Management’s toxic landfill at Monarch Hill across Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, and Coconut Creek, and stood with LGBTQIA+ communities demanding equality. He's demonstrated in Washington for policing reform. Oliver's work is always rooted in love—for his friends, family, and the South Florida community that raised him. Born on the Fourth of July to an Army family, Oliver has spent his life working to help the United States achieve our founding promise.
