Syrian American journalist with The Grayzone Hekmat Aboukhater discusses the role of foreign funded mercenaries in Syria’s civil war, how Syria will be affected by intensified conflict between Israel and Lebanon, and consistent double-speak from the media on the efficacy of the Houthi movement’s disruption of Red Sea shipping.

Lawyer, writer, former journalist and environmental advocate Steven Donziger discusses the use of racketeering charges to intimidate protesters in the United States, the criminalization of organizing, who benefits from treating protesters as terrorists and racketeers, as well as the role of judges in governance in the US and whether more formal oversight is needed of those on the bench.

Colombian-born organizer and graduate student researcher at the UCLA Anny Viloria Winnett discusses a Florida court finding the Chiquita fruit company liable for eight killings carried out by a right-wing paramilitary group in Colombia, what Chiquita gained through funding such groups, the history of Chiquita’s predecessor the United Fruit Company, and how Colombians are reacting to the news.

The Misfits also discuss a badly timed brawl in Italy’s parliament, another lawsuit against SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and a Supreme Court ruling against organized labor.
