  • Sanitizing MLK’s legacy begins by forgetting his life outside the South

    Sanitizing MLK’s legacy begins by forgetting his life outside the South
    2025/09/16
    In our mythological retelling of the Civil Rights movement, Martin Luther King, Jr. vanquished the racist apartheid system of Jim Crow in the American South. However, in her groundbreaking new book, historian Jeanne Theoharis argues that King’s time in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago—outside Dixie—was at the heart of his campaign for racial justice. As the book description lays out, “King of the North follows King as he crisscrosses the country from the Northeast to the West Coast, challenging school segregation, police brutality, housing segregation, and job discrimination. For these efforts, he was relentlessly attacked by white liberals, the media, and the federal government.” In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Professor Theoharis about the MLK Americans have deliberately forgotten, and what this recovered history tells us about how to fight against injustice today.

  • Trump and Silicon Valley’s plan to rule the world with AI weapons

    Trump and Silicon Valley’s plan to rule the world with AI weapons
    2025/09/09
    The unnerving alliance between Big Tech and the second Trump administration goes much deeper than many in the public realize. What factors are motivating President Trump and Silicon Valley’s monumental investments in “artificial intelligence” infrastructure and the expanded integration of “AI” into military and governmental operating systems? What is their endgame? What will their vision of an AI future mean for the rest of us? In his new investigative series Military AI Watch, produced in partnership with Project Censored, award-winning science reporter Peter Byrne explores “how Silicon Valley, corporate media, the Department of Defense, the banking industry, and scientific institutions all intersect in the effort to militarize AI.” In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Byrne and TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez about “AI” today and the techno-dystopian future on the horizon.

  • It’s not ‘complicated’: Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine is fueled by ‘colonial racism’

    It’s not ‘complicated’: Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine is fueled by ‘colonial racism’
    2025/09/02
    “Colonial racism helps explain the Trump administration’s adulation of Israeli violence against Palestinians,” Professor Aviva Chomsky writes at The Nation. In fact, colonial racism is the common thread binding the violent, eliminationist politics of Donald Trump in the US and Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. In this installment of our ongoing series “Not in Our Name” on The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Professor Chomsky about how Israel’s US-backed genocide in Gaza is the grim culmination of the settler-colonial project of Zionism, and how the repression of political dissent under the guise of “combatting antisemitism” is an extension of that violent project.

    Guest:
    Aviva Chomsky is a professor of history and the coordinator of Latin American studies at Salem State University in Massachusetts. She is the author of many acclaimed books, including Central America’s Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration; and Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal.

    ‘Rebellion is the strategy’: Jim Hightower breaks down the Texas gerrymandering battle
    2025/08/18
    “Texas Democrats who left the state to stymie Republicans over redistricting have returned to Austin,” Politico reports, “ending a two-week standoff over President Donald Trump’s plan to carve out five new GOP congressional seats.” The end of the Texas lawmaker walkout means that the Texas legislature will now be able to proceed with passing a vote on Republicans’ gerrymandered Congressional map—so what did the walkout achieve? In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with legendary populist and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Jim Hightower about the significance of the political showdown in Texas, and the longer-term fight ahead for Democrats and for working people of all stripes in the face of MAGA authoritarianism and corporate tyranny.

    Holocaust survivor Gabor Maté: Gaza genocide “the worst thing I've seen in my whole life.”
    2025/08/12
    “I was in Auschwitz 6-7 weeks ago,” world-renowned author and physician Dr. Gabor Maté says, “at the very spot where my grandparents landed, before they were sent to the gas chambers, where my mother and I almost ended up in June of 1945. We came very close. And nothing in the world ever resembles the horror of Auschwitz, but the spirit of it, the inhumanity, the cruelty of it, the starving of people, the killing of starving people—that's going on right now, and the world is watching.” In this urgent installment of our ongoing series “Not in Our Name” on The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Dr. Maté about growing up Jewish in the wake of the Holocaust and being Jewish in the midst of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

    Guest:
    • Dr. Gabor Maté is a Hungarian-born Canadian physician, Holocaust survivor, and a world-renowned expert on addiction and trauma. Dr. Maté has written several bestselling books, including the New York Times bestseller The Myth of Normal, the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction; When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress; and Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder.

    2025/08/05
    Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is an American trauma surgeon who has served in multiple volunteer medical delegations to war zones around the world, including delegations to Ukraine and Gaza. In this urgent episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Dr. Sidwha about the unfathomable carnage of Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. “70% of structures in the Gaza Strip, human-built things, have been destroyed. That didn't happen with the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This is insane. We're just leveling a whole society for the sake of doing it.”

    Guest:
    • Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a general, trauma, and critical care surgeon in California. He is also a humanitarian surgeon, having worked most extensively in Palestine, but also in Ukraine, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and Burkina Faso.

  • Latinos in Baltimore are living in fear: ‘I can be stopped just because of my accent’

    Latinos in Baltimore are living in fear: ‘I can be stopped just because of my accent’
    2025/07/29
    As the Trump administration ramps up its violent immigration raids around the country, increasingly targeting immigrants with no criminal record, and racially profiling Latinos to meet arrest quotas, immigrant communities in Baltimore and beyond are living in terror. In this urgent episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with two immigrant justice organizers in Baltimore—whose identities are being protected to ensure their safety—about the horrifying reality that immigrant families, particularly Latino families, are experiencing right now. “If you don't look Latino, do you tell your child to carry around their passport or their birth certificate?... US citizens are being detained only because they look Latino, because they are Latino.”
