Following the conviction of former Honduran coup president Juan Orlando Hernandez in a US court on drug-trafficking charges, the LMC speaks with both Adrienne Pine and Karen Spring about how JOH turned Honduras into a narco-state.
Adrienne Pine is an anthropologist & co-coordinator of the Intl Coalition to Stop Genocide in Palestine. Karen Spring is a researcher, host of the Honduras Now podcast, and co-coordinator of the Honduras Solidarity Network (HSN).
As the militarization of the border in Texas continues to increase under governor Greg Abbott, the LMC spends the hour with Heidi Beirich, the co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate & Extremism, about how continuing militarization has become a magnet for armed hate groups.
How serious is the Republican party about a military invasion of Mexico? The LMC searches for answers by speaking with freelance writer and playwright Kurt Hackbarth about the possible catastrophic consequences of a US invasion of Mexico.
