Live-streamed on May 23, 2024 Richard Beck, senior writer at n+1 Magazine, discusses his recent piece in the New Left Review entitled “Bidenism Abroad.” https://x.com/richard__beck?lang=en https://www.nplusonemag.com/ https://newleftreview.org/ https://newleftreview.org/issues/ii146/articles/richard-beck-bidenism-abroad Richard Beck and Emma then reflect on Biden’s Foreign Policy platform on the campaign trail, centering a “foreign policy for the middle class” and a narrative of “Democracies versus Autocracies,” which particularly worked with his early policies of support for Ukraine and withdrawal from Afghanistan, respectively, and look to the main individuals – Anthony Blinken and Jake Sullivan – responsible for shaping this platform. After expanding on the evolution of Biden’s foreign policy during his first few years in office, Richard and Emma begin to explore how October 7th (and Israel’s following ethnic cleansing of Gaza) completely upended these commitments, laying bare the failures of the autocracy-democracy binary, and reinserting the US into an expensive quagmire in the Middle East, all while relying on the policies bequeathed unto him by Donald Trump’s far-right administration. Next, Beck looks to the parallels in Biden’s approach to China, continuing the economic warfare established under Trump with major EV tariffs and an ongoing attempt at a TikTok Ban, before exploring the increasingly precarious status of US hegemony over the last few decades, and wrapping up by assessing the future of Biden’s inactive and defensive leadership as the 2024 election draws near.

The right wing is coming for LGBTQ rights from every angle. Through legislation and through the judiciary, Republicans are doing everything they can to strip rights away from the LGBTQ community.

I'm calling from Delaware. Lucy hi. I just wanted to call. I recently got into a conversation with my family because I went to Florida and we started talking about stuff. and sorry I'm a little nervous. you're all good. but I was talking to them and they were talking to me about the don't say the gay bill in the recent expansion and stuff. because for me it's kind of a personal issue. but for them, it's not as much. so they're not really thinking about that kind of stuff. but there is a lot of you know ambiguity in the bill itself. but I do think that maybe people should probably start listing the names of these bills and stuff. like where they're from the house or the Senate. what number the bill is and what standards it refers to in their reporting. because I'm looking at the bill now and it really feels like a lot of times when these things get reported on you know the text of the bill doesn't get really talked about but the text of the bill itself is actually pretty damning. you know in section three of the bill itself it says you know classroom instruction by Personnel. We've heard it a bunch. but in the end it specifically refers to accordance with State Standards. so I went ahead and looked up the state standards that it's actually referring to. and it refers specifically to section 1000.4 1003.46 which is health education instruction and acquired immune deficiency syndrome. and part two says throughout instruction and acquired immune deficiency syndrome sexually transmitted diseases or health and education when such an instruction or course material contains instruction in human sexuality a school shall teach abstinence from sexual education outside of marriage is the expected standard for all School age students while also teaching the benefits of monogamous homosexual heterosexual marriage. So you know a lot of times I think referring to these bills specifically as their numbers and stuff and making it really easy for people to look up what the bill itself says and what the stuff it's referring to says to make it really easy for people to understand just how ridiculous A lot of these laws are. yeah yeah. I mean I think that's helpful. and just like laying it out in clear terms. I also just want to re-highlight what I did in what I highlighted in headlines today, which is that it broke around an hour before the show started so I need to do more reading. but like they're coming into the court system too. this federal judge in Texas blocked the ACA mandate that health insurance companies have to cover preventative care specifically targeting prep. which is the prophylactic HIV drug for gay men mostly and others as well. but often like the reasoning in the legend in what the plaintiffs were pushing was explicitly homophobic. like there that that ruling from a federal judge is immediately law right now because he's a federal judge. and then any appeal process has to go through the fifth circuit which is incredibly right wing and then has to go to the Supreme Court. They are coming after gay non-binary trans LGBTQ people in every direction. every fast and imaginable and the group that's funding that chats that legal challenge to the ACA is headed by Stephen Miller. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaUUWvsHwu8

True crime is an increasingly popular media genre. But comedian Jena Friedman is taking a different approach to true crime with her new show True Crime Story: Indefensible.

Like what did you see that that's what you said right yeah yeah I mean because to me I have a lot of friends that love true crime right? And I can see the appeal but sometimes I feel there's a portrayal of often female victims that's just a little it doesn't speak to me. I mean what did you see in terms of your spin on how you wanted to do this based on the wealth of like true crime podcasts and shows that you could see. Jena Friedman: So a lot of it is different. There are a lot of things that I set out to do differently. We don't show gruesome crime scene photos. I don't interview serial killers. In a couple episodes, I don't even name them. It's less about the actual case and more about the larger systemic injustice. And it's crazy that we've been, you know, consuming true crime and there's so much of it for decades. and also so much of it is just not really told from that perspective you know? Like it's not about the guy who kills a woman it's about the parole system that allowed the guy to get out early and kill the woman because he had many many charges of sexual assault but because we don't take sexual violence against women seriously these guys are really good at evading justice. serial offenders. but it's also at the same time I'm not like trying to be nancy grace or like pro-mass incarceration. So it's like a measured approach. The best way I can describe it is if I could make it like the dream version of the show. I would say it would be like a daily show meets a dateline. where it's like less about the crimes but you're using crimes to bring in people who are like true crime junkies. and then you're just kind of zooming out and talking about why does this keeps happening. What are things that we can do to stop it from happening? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZLDdiaRpPo
