Il prezzo dell'abbigliamento è in calo da decenni, mentre i costi umani e ambientali sono cresciuti notevolmente. The True Cost è un film documentario rivoluzionario che alza il sipario su ciò che molti non conoscono, mettendoci davanti ad una domanda: chi paga davvero il prezzo per i nostri vestiti?

We look at the record and response to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s selection as Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s new running mate. Walz is a former public school teacher and high school football coach who served 24 years in the National Guard and was elected governor in Minnesota in 2019 after six terms in Congress. After starting out as a more centrist politician, Walz began a “surprising” shift toward more progressive policies, particularly in the post-Trump years, says Jacobin staff writer Branko Marcetic. His governing record includes ... continua

After Ohio Senator J.D. Vance makes his nomination official as the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2024, we spend the show looking at his record. We begin with a discussion on Vance’s professed economic populism with independent journalist Zaid Jilani and The Nation's Chris Lehmann. Jilani argues Vance's pro-working class image is not only genuine, but that he may also hold enough sway to bring the Republican Party closer to the labor movement. “Big business does fear Vance to some extent,” he says. Lehmann counters, “I don’t see the Republican ... continua

The 2024 Republican platform backs Trump’s pledge to carry out the “largest deportation operation in American history” and to stop what it calls a “migrant crime epidemic.” We speak with journalist Jean Guerrero, who says what was shown at the RNC was the ... continua

Palestinian American journalist Rami Khouri responds to the latest exchange of fire between Israel and Hezbollah and the drawn-out ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, which Khouri calls a “fictitious political dynamic” that is primarily used as diplomatic cover for Israel’s warfare. “The ceasefire talks should not be taken very seriously as an effort to bring about a ceasefire,” he says. “It’s pretty clear now that the ceasefire negotiations today are the equivalent of the so-called peace process in the bigger Arab-Israeli conflict over the last 40 ... continua

Immigrant rights lawyers are preparing to fight back against Donald Trump’s plans to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history once he takes office again in January. The president-elect has already named some leading anti-immigration figures for his incoming administration who will lead the plan, including former ICE head Tom Homan and his longtime aide Stephen Miller.

We go live to Damascus for the first time since the fall of longtime authoritarian President Bashar al-Assad, where the country’s populace is still reeling from the power struggle that forcibly displaced more than a million people over the last months. Investigative reporter Sarah El Deeb joins Democracy Now! while looking over the joyous scenes in the city, but reports there is a marked “contrast between the sense of relief over the departure of Bashar al-Assad but then the sadness and the concern and no answers for where the loved ones have gone.” El Deeb ... continua
