The LMC welcomes back freelance writer and playwright Kurt Hackbarth to discuss the importance of Mexico’s first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, and the challenges she faces from climate change to right-wing media attacks from the US.
Kurt Hackbarth is also the cofounder of the independent media project “MexElects” and the co-host of the new podcast, “Soberanía.”
Independent writer and researcher Nyki Duda returns to speak with the LMC to break down how a recent series of anti-immigrant rhetoric serves as a microcosm to the rising tide of global fascism both in the US and beyond.
As human rights violations continue to mount in El Salvador, U.S. lawmakers are looking to whitewash the abuses of Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele. So the LMC spends the hour with Alexis Stoumbelis, the Executive Director of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), to break down who is involved and what it means for Salvadoran democracy under the continued state of exception.
