Episode notes
US Backs Israeli Gaza Occupation
- The Trump administration will not intervene in Israel's plans to occupy Gaza and displace 1 million Palestinians.
- This stance enables ongoing ethnic cleansing and land theft under euphemized "operations."
Constitutional Rights Erased Online
- Key sections of the US Constitution including habeas corpus have been deleted from the government website.
- This erasure signals a potential move toward enabling indefinite detention without due process under the Trump administration.
Habeas Corpus Suspension Risks

- Historically challenged in courts, indefinite detention without due process represents authoritarian government overreach.
