Katie talks to journalist Akbar Shahid Ahmed and former State Department Foreign Affairs Officer Annelle Sheline talk about how the Biden administration’s horrific choices on Gaza and beyond are still shaping US policy, while the policymakers responsible are trying to deflect blame and getting cushy jobs. Then, Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans joins us from China to talk about what is happening there, what is happening in the U.S., uprisings around the world and why Fox News is obsessed with her. Finally, Brazilian organizer Stephanie Weatherbee Brito talks about Lula’s victory in Brazil against fascism and The U.S.-Zionist attempts against Latin America.
