The Tea with Myriam Francois

Nine months into Trump’s second term, the National Guard is being deployed across the country, ICE are operating like a domestic paramilitary, tech executives wear military rank, and dissent is being frozen by fear. Meanwhile, nearly 40% of Americans now say democracy isn’t worth the fight.So how did we get here? And where are we heading?In this gripping new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we’re joined by public historian Tad Stoermer to unpack the rise of authoritarianism in the US — and what resistance looks like when democracy bends and when the machinery of fear is turned inward.In a world where facts no longer seem to matter, how do we resist when the story we’re told — “us versus them” — is a cover for authoritarianism, and the “law and order” narrative hides the very machinery of control?We unpack:⚠️ When tech billionaires start wearing military rank — who’s really in charge?⚠️ Inside the rise of the far-right Christian nationalists ⚠️ Trump’s “us vs. them” narrative — what makes it so dangerously effective?⚠️ Trump’s war on education ⚠️ How Christianity became a cornerstone of modern authoritarianism? ⚠️ “Law and order” — or just another name for control?⚠️ No Kings Day: Proof that democracy still breathes — or its last gasp?⚠️ What can historical resistance teach us about how to fight back today?👉 Subscribe for more fearless conversations: [link]🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #TadStoermer #USPolitics #Authoritarianism #SurveillanceState #Trump2025 #Resistance #TechPower #Palantir #OpenAI #Fascism #NoKings #NoKingsDayProtest #Democracy #Trump #WhiteHouse #TrumpBallroom #ICE #ICEraids #GavinNewsom #MAGA AUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Tad StoermerSenior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.

“What we are seeing now is the naked face of power. And people are waking up to the fact that those in power no longer represent them”.In this searing new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we are joined by author and journalist Fatima Bhutto to connect the dots between power and propaganda — and to explore how we can build resistance.Representative democracy is crumbling before our eyes, while dissent is being eroded and authoritarianism is on the rise. From the rising political violence to the legacy media’s complicity, and to the betrayal of feminist movements staying silent on Gaza, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.⚠️ What happens when journalism becomes propaganda?⚠️ Is there still any meaningful difference between left and right?⚠️ How has the feminist movement betrayed Palestinian women?⚠️ What is left of representative democracy?⚠️ What has Palestine become the litmus test for?⚠️ How can we build a movement of resistance?This is a sobering, unflinching conversation about empire, complicity, and the urgent need to resist.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.AUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Fatima BhuttoSenior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.

Palestine may be the frontline, but the war on truth and resistance is global.From militarised streets in America to the shattered ruins of Gaza, in this episode of The Tea with Myriam François we sit down with Bassam Haddad, founding director of the Middle East and Islamic Studies Program at George Mason University, to explore the collapse of liberal democracy, the rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connections between the escalating repression in the US and the ongoing genocide in Palestine.We dig into how disinformation, censorship and repression are increasingly being used to silence pro-Palestinian voices, and how both Democratic and Republican leadership have paved the way for today’s repression.As Israel loses the battle for public opinion, we examine its pivot to paid propaganda and the erosion of its victimhood narrative.We unpack:⚠️ How the Democrats “set the table” for today’s repression⚠️ The role of disinformation, AI, and tech censorship in silencing Palestine advocacy⚠️ What’s truly at stake in the current ceasefire talks⚠️ Why Israel is buying support to prop up its collapsing narrative⚠️ What the "axis of resistance" in the Middle East looks like today⚠️ What’s happening in SyriaThis is a sobering, unflinching conversation about empire, complicity, and the urgent need to resist.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Professor Bassam Haddad Producer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearcher: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.

“You're talking about women? That must mean you're an Islamophobe. You're talking about Muslims? It must mean you're an anti-Semite.”From the obsession with individual experience to the weaponisation of identity politics by right-wing and pro-Israel advocates, this episode of The Tea with Myriam François dives deep into the uncomfortable and urgent truths about identity politics today.Joining us is Ash Sarkar, author and senior editor at Novara Media, to unpack how the Left has been fractured by a focus on “identity”, and how identity politics has turned into a competition for victimhood – or worse, a tool wielded by those supporting genocide. Meanwhile, working-class solidarity lies in ruins.What if representation isn't progress — but the illusion of it? From Filipino content moderators to South Asian billionaires, this episode challenges the idea that shared identity means shared interest — and makes the case for a politics rooted in class, not optics.⚠️ Why has identity politics become a competition for victimhood?⚠️ Why is anti-racism so often used to silence dissent — especially on Palestine?⚠️ Who really benefits from diversity in “the C-suite”?⚠️ Can class-based unity rebuild what identity politics has broken? ⚠️ What are the pitfalls of DEI?⚠️ Who sets the news agenda — and who benefits from it?👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.https://www.patreon.com/TheTeawithMyriamFrancois?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabkrbubUPKErSGVFGL5bzjQytkb9HanzeLQBUi8U-mU6g5aVSTqE5ej7sQ_aem_SO9ihK10zUz3TdyPOD2ngA#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #IdentityPolitics #ClassVsIdentity #AshSarkar #DEI #LeftPolitics #LabourParty #Palestine #StopTheGenocide #AntiRacismDebate #YourParty AUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Ash SarkarSenior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed by the guest(s) on The Tea YouTube series and podcast are their own and do not reflect those of MPWR Productions or its licensees.

As Gaza is razed and Palestinians face extermination in real-time, the UK, France and other countries have recognised the Palestinian state. But what does that really mean — when settler violence in the West Bank is at record levels, Gaza is under siege, and Israeli ministers are openly calling for ethnic cleansing?In this searing episode of 'The Tea with Myriam Francois’, we speak with Palestinian activist Arab Barghouti. Arab is the son of Marwan Barghouti, also known as the “Palestinian Mandela”, who has been in an Israeli prison since 2002. We expose the contradictions at the heart of Western diplomacy, the obsession with “non-violent” resistance, and the future of the Palestinian leadership — even in the face of an openly genocidal regime.🚨 Does the Israeli government really care about the hostages?🚨 Where does the Western obsession with non-violent resistance come from? 🚨 Why does Israel detain so many Palestinians? And what is the role that the Israeli prison system plays within the occupation?🚨Why has the Palestinian Authority lost its appeal with young Palestinians?👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.https://www.patreon.com/TheTeawithMyriamFrancois?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabkrbubUPKErSGVFGL5bzjQytkb9HanzeLQBUi8U-mU6g5aVSTqE5ej7sQ_aem_SO9ihK10zUz3TdyPOD2ngA#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #TajAli #TommyRobinson #Islamophobia #FarRight #UniteTheKingdom #LondonProtest #Zionism #Multiculturalism #UKPolitics #Palestine #BritishPolitics #LabourParty #YourParty #NigelFarage #ReformUK #RaiseTheColours CREDITS;Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Arab BarghoutiSenior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed by the guest(s) on The Tea YouTube series and podcast are their own and do not reflect those of MPWR Productions or its licensees.

Islamophobia has become a multi-billion-dollar industry in today’s Britain. And it’s playing a crucial role in empowering the far-right - whose agenda is rooted in fearmongering, exclusion, and a dangerous us-vs-them narrative.In this eye-opening first episode of The Tea with Myriam Francois, award-winning journalist and historian Taj Ali helps us unpack the shocking connections behind Tommy Robinson - once bankrupt and jailed, now leading massive rallies. Who's funding his rise, and why? We expose the hidden forces behind Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite The Kingdom’ rally, and the dangerous narratives they’re pushing. We explore how powerful Zionist groups are using Islamophobia as a political weapon, distracting voters, crushing Palestinian solidarity, and pushing a pro-Israel agenda. 🚨 What is the real reason behind Elon Musk’s involvement in British politics?🚨 How and why has the English flag turned into a symbol of exclusion?🚨 The mainstreaming of the “Great Replacement Theory” 🚨 The rise of Islamophobia and the double standard in the political discourse🚨 What does multiculturalism mean in today's Britain?👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.https://www.patreon.com/TheTeawithMyriamFrancois?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabkrbubUPKErSGVFGL5bzjQytkb9HanzeLQBUi8U-mU6g5aVSTqE5ej7sQ_aem_SO9ihK10zUz3TdyPOD2ngA#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #TajAli #TommyRobinson #Islamophobia #FarRight #UniteTheKingdom #LondonProtest #Zionism #Multiculturalism #UKPolitics #Palestine #BritishPolitics #LabourParty #YourParty #NigelFarage #ReformUK #RaiseTheColours CREDITS;Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Taj AliSenior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant roducer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed by the guest(s) on The Tea YouTube series and podcast are their own and do not reflect those of MPWR Productions or its licensees.

“If you want fascism to rise, you have to convince white working-class people that their suffering isn’t caused by the elite who strip them of resources — it’s because Black and brown people are here. Muslims are here. Don’t you know?”In this eye-opening episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with multi-award-winning powerhouse Kelechi Okafor and expose the uncomfortable truths the British establishment doesn’t want to confront — from the strategic use of anti-Black propaganda to distract from class warfare, to the growing surveillance state targeting working-class and racialised communities.From the vilification of Diane Abbott to the state’s embrace of surveillance and Britain’s refusal to reckon with slavery reparations, we connect the dots between racism, authoritarianism, and the illusion of inclusion.In this episode, we unpack:🚨 Diane Abbott & the politics of silencing Black women🚨 Britain’s refusal to pay reparations (and who did get paid)🚨 Surveillance tech, the “Brit Card” & the creep of fascism🚨 The class con driving division in the UK🚨 What it takes to build real resistance & trustThis isn't just about racism.

In this eye-opening episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with AI expert Dr. Jaya Klara Brekke, a pioneering voice at the crossroads of technology and justice, to expose the hidden world of AI, surveillance, and data monopolies.From Palantir’s disturbing reach in global scandals to the growing militarisation of AI and the ethical dilemma of Neuralink, we dive deep into the dangerous intersection of technology, power, and control. We expose the blurring lines between private tech companies and governments, as well as the immense power wielded by unelected billionaires.We also explore why AI is becoming the defining arms race of our generation. And with chatbots now playing the role of therapists, we ask: Can we trust AI with our most personal information?In this episode, we unpack:🛑 Tech Libertarianism: Freedom or Corporate Control?🛑 The Real Face of Technofascism and Surveillance🛑 Palantir’s Role in Data Scandals🛑 AI: The New Arms Race of Our Generation🛑 Why We Should Be Wary of AI TherapyThis conversation isn’t just about tech—it’s about power, privacy, and who’s pulling the strings in our digital lives.👉 Subscribe here for more bold, unfiltered conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #JayaKlaraBrekke #AI #Palantir #ElonMusk #PeterThiel #Neuralink #Surveillance #TechLibertarianism #AIArmsRace #DigitalSovereignty #TechFascism #Privacy #GlobalPower #DataPrivacy CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Dr. Jaya Klara BrekkeSenior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Lina AdamsVideo Editor: Peter ZacaroliAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.

In this hard-hitting episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with Sudanese Australian, award-winning writer Yassmin Abdel-Magied to tackle the intersection of identity politics, the surge of white nationalism, and the skyrocketing Islamophobia sweeping the UK. From record hate crimes to a complicit government and media, we uncover the dangerous forces at play.We also take a deep dive into the war in Sudan — “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis” — and ask: Who’s truly forgotten Sudan? Spoiler: it wasn’t us. We expose the global interests behind the violence — from gold to EU migration deals — and how everyday items like “Gum Arabic (E414)” are fuelling this war economy.In this episode, we expose:🛑 Islamophobia in the UK: A Manufactured Threat🛑 The Rise of White Nationalism🛑 The Threat of Authoritarianism🛑 Who Forgot Sudan? 🛑 Gum Arabic, Gold & War Profiteering🛑 Why Sudan Matters to All of UsThis episode isn’t just about policy — it’s about power, propaganda, and who gets left behind. 👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@DrMyriamFrancois1🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Yassmin Abdel-Magied Senior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Lina AdamsVideo Editor: Max Bubnov#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #Islamophobia #Sudan #WarCrimes #BritishMedia #MediaComplicity #GlobalSouth #TruthToPower #WhiteNationalism #SudanCrisis #GoldAndConflict #HumanitarianCrisis #GlobalInjusticehttps://www.patreon.com/TheTeawithMyriamFrancois?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabkrbubUPKErSGVFGL5bzjQytkb9HanzeLQBUi8U-mU6g5aVSTqE5ej7sQ_aem_SO9ihK10zUz3TdyPOD2ngADisclaimer:The views and opinions expressed by the guest(s) on The Tea YouTube series and podcast are their own and do not reflect those of MPWR Productions or its licensees.

In this unflinching episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin to confront the media’s complicity in power — and the price of telling the truth.From abused children to erased journalists, this is a brutal exposé on how mainstream media narratives are shaped, sanitised, and sold. We break down how coverage of Gaza and Palestinian lives is distorted — and why "mistake" is the media’s favourite euphemism for mass murder.We go far beyond headlines to expose:🛑 The media’s “mistake” machine: how Israel’s atrocities are rebranded as accidents 🛑 How are Gaza journalists exploited by Western outlets?🛑 What’s behind the media’s blind loyalty to the Israeli narrative?🛑 The Francesca Albanese Report and the complicity of tech giants🛑 The collapse of international lawThis episode lays bare the dehumanisation of Palestinians — and the imperialist playbook behind the headlines. This isn’t a conversation just about media bias — it’s about the fight for truth in an age of surveillance, censorship, and soft fascism.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: [link]🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #GazaGenocide #FrancescaAlbanese #AlbaneseReport #Palestine #TechAndViolence #SurveillanceCapitalism #ArmsTrade #InternationalLaw #WarEconomy #CorporateComplicity #TruthToPowerCREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Ahmed Shihab-Eldin Senior producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant producer: Poppy JacobsVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.
