Episode 351 of CODEPINK Radio: 78 Years of Nakba, 78 Years of Resistance: For 78 years, Palestinians have carried the memory of the Nakba as an ongoing reality of displacement, occupation, imprisonment, and genocide. In this episode of CODEPINK Radio, Janine speaks with Chicago-based activist and political educator Soha Khatib about growing up Palestinian in diaspora, Black-Palestinian solidarity, the collapse of political Zionism, and how revolutionary love, community, and imagination keep the struggle alive. The Nakba did not end in 1948. Neither has Palestinian resistance.

Fresh vegetables cost more than 11% than they did last year.

@codepinkalert "Where were you when our people were pulling their children out from under the rubble of the bombs you invited into our country?" This morning, an Iranian-American activist confronted Reza Pahlavi for supporting for the US-Israeli war on Iran at the Lockheed Martin-Politico "Security" Summit in Washington, D.C. Pahlavi has repeatedly encouraged the war of aggression against his own country, seeing it as a means to reinstate a pro-Western monarchy in Iran with him on the throne.

@codepinkalert CODEPINK MKE disrupted the American Economic Interest Summit in Wisconsin, where defense contractors, military AI firms, and data center developers promoted projects tied to war profiteering, surveillance, and environmental destruction. The message was simple: Wisconsinites don’t want data centers that fuel militarism while destroying communities and the planet.
