As 2023 comes to a close, Amanda Yee, a Journalist and the Managing Editor of Liberation News, joins the show to wrap up the biggest US domestic stories of the year. Amanda, Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss: the continued upsurge of labor, re-loaded McCarthyism and the new Cold War on China, the wide opposition to Biden’s support for the Gaza genocide, and Congress’ funding for endless war as US infrastructure crumbles.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
