Are there parallels between Puerto Rico’s colonial status and occupied Palestine? The colonizers seem to think so. So the LMC spends the hour with Alberto Medina and James Early to discuss the colonial structure that marginalizes both Puerto Ricans and Palestinians toward solidarity.
Alberto C. Medina is a Puerto Rico–born, US-based writer, editor, and advocate for Puerto Rican independence. He is the president of Boricuas Unidos en la Diáspora (BUDPR). His Substack is Free Puerto Rico.
James Early is the former Smithsonian Institution Assistant Secretary for Education and Public Service.
As the Trump administration expands its anti-immigrant crusade to Chicago, the LMC speaks with freelance writer Hector Cervantes on how the threat of ICE and the National Guard affects the Windy City and how local residents fight back.
How do we approach the issues of freedom of speech without whitewashing the racism and xenophobia that defined the political life and career of Charlie Kirk following his shocking murder? The LMC is searching for answers with freelance writer Arturo Dominguez by discussing hateful rhetoric and legacy of the far-right activist.
