Sonali Kolhatkar & Laura Flanders on independent media and the year ahead:
"I find a huge difference in the way in which communities of color and journalists of color and women journalists are covering solutions, and covering the problems of our world through a solutions lens, because the urgency for us is so real. We're on the front lines. It's not as much about likes and clicks and algorithms, as much as it is about actually solving the problem."

Transcript of #CounterSpin's interview with Arlene Martinez on #Amazon's subsidized misconduct:
"As bad as Amazon‘s record is, and it is bad, it would be worse if we treated workers with the same care and with the same concern that we do as investors who got cheated on an investment."

"What is considered as speech has really exploded when it comes to the corporate landscape: Are tax returns and contracts considered speech? What does that mean for our government's power to look into financial wrongdoing, and prevent tax fraud and prevent money laundering, if all of those things are considered as speech, and the government cannot force anybody to “say" and disclose such information?"

Transcript of #CounterSpin's interview with Ahmad Abuznaid on the Rafah invasion:
"Another overreach, another violation of our constitutional rights, another mode of repression against Palestinian organizing and activism. But the fact of the matter is, this isn't going to stop us. If they think that a piece of legislation like this is going to cause us to cease our advocacy, our activities, our organizing, our shutting it down for Palestine, then they've miscalculated."

Transcript of #CounterSpin's interview with Joe Torres and Colette Watson on media reparations:
"There's a lack of understanding of the fact that journalism being white-dominated, and being steeped in a worldview of Black inferiority and a worldview of racial hierarchy, has very much been a part of why we find this industry to be faltering at this point."

Transcript of #CounterSpin's interview with Suyapa Portillo Villeda on the conviction of #Honduras ex-President Juan Orlando Hernandez:
"This guy went down for engaging in drug trafficking, but really he needed to be tried for crimes against humanity."

Transcript of #CounterSpin's interview with Ariel Adelman on the ADA and the Supreme Court:
"Disabled people are generally living in forced poverty; they don't have the means, the time or the health, really, to bring a lawsuit to sue every single person that violates the ADA. If we were doing that, every disabled person would just constantly be in court, suing people."

FAIR's program director and #CounterSpin producer and host Janine Jackson spoke on the @ralphnaderradiohour this week about how major corporate news major outlets are opining on the crisis in #Gaza.

Transcript of #CounterSpin's intereview with Rakeen Mabud on #greedflation:
"When prices are rising across the board, it means that companies, especially those that are in a really concentrated market, can raise their prices, precisely because they know that their competitor is going to do the exact same thing. So if you are one of three big companies, and you know that your competitors are also going to raise prices, there’s no reason for you not to raise prices."

"If these organizations that claim to worry about #antisemitism really did, then they would stop defending the Israeli government, and protecting it from being held accountable for bombing hospitals, and instead allow us all to focus on what we need to do to dismantle white supremacy, and the antisemitism that white supremacy uses."

If Councils want to hold orderly meetings, maybe don't grant speaking rights to Counterspin and other loony conspiracists.
A discussion on 15 minute cities led to an attempted citizen's arrest of councillors, bizarre claims of seismic ships inducing natural disasters, allegations of weaponised street lights, threats against buses and anti-Jacinda chants.

"One thing I find exciting about #Rutgers is that we all know about the incredible social inequality in the US, and how it's getting worse day by day. And the only solution I see for this is greater #labor organizing, period."

"Is it awkward for reporters to interrogate the powerful on these questions? Yes! But if they aren't doing it, why do they have a constitutional amendment dedicated to protecting their right to do it?"
--Janine Jackson on #CounterSpin -
"We just shouldn't take them very seriously when they say, oh, well, we need a light-touch regulation, when these are some of the same folks that are looking to use the coercive power of the state to silence actual speech."

You will likely have seen the pictures, if you weren't in them yourself -- thousands of people stranded in airports, baggage lost. Is this how it has to be? And if not, what exactly is in the way?

"I think not going forward is a recipe for disaster for democracy, not to be overblown. I think if we don’t hold the bad actors accountable for what was arguably the most dramatic and dangerous day in recent history of our nation, then what can we hold people accountable for?"

While strikes in other countries may be presented as signs of freedom, in the US they will be presented in terms of the disruption they cause. The "harmful disruption" presentation encourages readers to understand that the status quo before the action was not harmful and did not disrupt; and that worker actions are therefore willful, selfish and possibly malignant.
