The Silencing of Truth: Journalists Killed, Wars Escalating, and a World Looking Away

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 21:11:28 GMT

Guest: Ayman Mohyeldin, Host MSNOW Weekends

Across Gaza and Lebanon, journalists—those tasked with documenting reality—have been killed at an alarming and unprecedented rate. As conflicts intensify, the very people responsible for telling the world what’s happening are disappearing from the story.

Why are so many reporters being targeted or caught in the crossfire? And why hasn’t this crisis dominated mainstream global coverage?

At the same time, tensions with Iran continue to rise, with no clear strategy for de-escalation. Political rhetoric grows sharper, promises remain vague, and the consequences ripple across global stability and economic confidence.

In this video, we break down:

The surge in journalist deaths in modern conflict zones

The role of media coverage—and what may be missing

Escalating geopolitical tensions and uncertain leadership decisions

How global perception, politics, and economics are all intertwined

This isn’t just about war—it’s about information, accountability, and what happens when the people documenting history are no longer there to tell it.

The Clock Is Ticking: Can America Escape Authoritarian Rule Before 2028?

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:10:20 GMT

Guests: Author and Historian Ibram X Kendi and Candidate for US Senate in Michigan Abdul El Sayed

Is the United States entering a new political era defined by rising authoritarian tendencies? Around the world, democracies are being tested—and many are failing. But what about America?

In this video, we explore the growing concerns about democratic backsliding, the role of political parties (or lack thereof) in mounting resistance, and whether the 2028 election represents a turning point—or just more of the same.

We also confront difficult, often avoided questions:

Can meaningful resistance exist without a strong opposition movement?

Is the U.S. political system stuck in a loop of familiar candidates and power structures?

How does race continue to shape political outcomes—and could it define the future of the nation?

This is not about easy answers. It’s about asking the questions that matter.

✔ The geopolitical stakes surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz

✔ The widening gap between voters and political leadership

✔ The role of lobbying, influence, and emerging questions around AI and political power

This is a critical moment—and the consequences could reshape the global order for years to come.

Trump MELTS DOWN Overnight as Allies REJECT Iran War | NATO, Media, Supreme Court Targeted

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 23:37:15 GMT

Donald Trump launched a late-night and early-morning barrage of attacks against the Supreme Court of the United States, NATO, and the media as tensions grow around the escalating conflict involving Iran.

As the war continues, the U.S. appears increasingly isolated internationally. Long-time allies like Australia and Japan have publicly declined to participate in military operations in the Middle East, leaving the United States and Israel largely alone in the effort.

Meanwhile, questions continue to mount about potential U.S. troop involvement and casualties. Reporters have pressed Trump about American soldiers and whether “boots on the ground” are coming, but answers remain unclear.

At the same time, divisions are growing within the MAGA movement itself, with some supporters questioning the direction of the war and America’s role overseas.

Epstein Documents Shake Power Circles — As ICE Expands and Surveillance Grows

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 23:38:49 GMT

The 3M documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein have reignited political controversy across the United States and beyond. High-profile attorneys, international leaders, and political figures have been named in various filings and investigative materials and are resigning en mass!

BREAKING: Federal Agents Arrest Don Lemon & Georgia Fort | democracyish LIVE

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 23:44:44 GMT

Today, federal agents arrested journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort in connection with their coverage of a protest inside a church in St. Paul, Minnesota — reigniting a nationwide debate over press freedom and the First Amendment.

Lemon — a longtime national news anchor — and Fort — an independent journalist — were taken into federal custody after covering a demonstration that disrupted services at Cities Church, where protesters confronted a pastor alleged to be affiliated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Federal prosecutors have alleged violations related to the disturbance, but critics and civil rights advocates argue these arrests represent an unprecedented crackdown on journalists simply doing their jobs.

At the same time, federal agents executed a court-authorized raid on the Fulton County, Georgia Election Hub, seizing 2020 ballots and election records — a move that has drawn sharp criticism from election officials and democracy watchdogs alike.

In this podcast:

🔹 What reporters were doing at the church — and why the DOJ pursued arrests.

🔹 How this intersects with broader federal action on election materials.

🔹 Legal and constitutional implications for journalism and democratic norms.

MLK Warned Us: White Nationalism, Jim Crow Politics & America Today

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 21:52:33 GMT

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is often remembered as a dreamer—but he was, above all, a truth-teller. Decades after his assassination, his words still cut through America’s moral contradictions with unsettling precision. In this episode, we revisit Dr. King’s most powerful quotes not as history, but as living warnings. As white nationalism resurfaces, racial resentment is normalized, and Jim Crow–style politics return in new forms, King’s message feels more urgent than ever. The moral arc does not bend on its own. The question remains: are we willing to pull?

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 20:20:31 GMT

With poll numbers tanking and the Epstein scandal closing in, Donald is flailing—resorting to racist stunts, AI lies, and economic chaos to distract from the truth. From ICE abuses to a collapsing dollar, we expose the regime’s desperation and connect the dots behind the culture war smokescreen.

Children Died in Texas Floods—Trump’s Cuts Made It Inevitable |

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 17:08:35 GMT

Over 80 people—including children—lost their lives in the devastating Texas floods. But this tragedy wasn’t just about extreme weather—it was the direct result of MAGA policy. On this episode of democracyish LIVE, Waj and Danielle expose how Donald’s April cuts to the National Weather Service forced out key forecasters, just weeks before hurricane season. With over $100 billion redirected to his private military agenda, public safety systems like disaster response, Medicaid, and food aid are being gutted—and Americans are paying the price.

Waj and Danielle discuss media blackouts, biases and more on the next democracyish!

RIP Roe

Thu, 05 May 2022 07:00:00 GMT

In an unsurprising move, the 6-3 radicalized conservative Supreme Court, has decided to screw precedent and overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 law that legalized abortion in the United States. While the decision hasn't officially been made, a leaked document from the SCOTUS reveals in a lengthy 98-pages all the reasons nothing is off the table for Republicans moving forward. So, what will Democrats response be?!? Co-hosts Danielle and Wajahat discuss on this episode of #democracyish

Testicular Tanning and White Male Fragility.

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 07:00:00 GMT

The extremist GOP cult has a series of new fetishes that shouldn't be laughed off--why? Because they all stem from a place of white male fragility that often leads to expressions of masculinity through acts of violence. From Tucker Carlson's new "documentary" to the attacks by DeSantis on abortion--nothing that the GOP is doing is a laughing matter, so why aren't Democrats punching back?

GOP: The Party of Groomers

Thu, 14 Apr 2022 07:00:00 GMT

For the last several weeks Republicans have ratcheted up their attacks against Democrats and their latest assault--referring to Democrats as pedophiles. Funny thing is the Republican Party protests a little much. From Roy Moore to Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump their party is filled with pedophiles and sexual abusers.

Democrats Will Lose in 2022

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 07:00:00 GMT

In 1963 in a Letter from a Birmingham Jail Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. warned America about the biggest stumbling block to justice--not the KKK, but the white moderate who is more interested in "order" than in justice. 60 years later his warning couldn't ring more true as we watch the current administration's agenda be torpedoed not by Republicans but the supposed white moderates in the Senate.

If you're not dizzy from this week in America you ain't paying attention.

It's Good to be a White Refugee

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 07:00:00 GMT

Putin is waging war in Ukraine forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes as life as they know it--and yet some that are fleeing, namely African immigrants and immigrants of color are being traumatized TWICE--from

the horrors of war and the horrors of global anti-Blackness and discrimination. We discuss the responsibility of white mainstream journalism and whether their newsrooms are up to the task at hand--humanizing ALL fleeing war not just those with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Messaging Mayhem

Thu, 17 Mar 2022 07:00:00 GMT

With 8 months until midterm elections and active threats from the Republican Party for retaliation if former President Trump is indicted and clear indication that they have no desire to govern. Why can't Democrats put together a cohesive message about what is at stake in midterms? Why do we continue to cede ground to Republicans who haven't had an agenda or plan for America since 2016?!? Why is this so hard? Waj and Danielle bring in reinforcements for this much needed convo.

Where the Hell is Merrick Garland?

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 08:00:00 GMT

The January 6 House Commission has been doing all of the heavy lifting to get to the bottom of the January 6th insurrection. Over 500 interviews, thousands of documents, countless subpoenas and now a recommendation on criminal charges for Trump's attorney John Eastman and the former twice impeached president. And yet, we have heard nothing but crickets from Merrick Garland's Department of Justice. With 8 months until midterms Waj and Danielle wonder whether or not AG Merrick Garland is up to the job.

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 08:00:00 GMT

Unlike Kaepernick who took a knee to bravely use his platform to draw attention to police brutality--Democrats are once again on their knees because they are cowards. Democrats with just months left until midterms are refusing to use the power the 2020 election gave them to fight for our democracy instead they are pulling their common trope-- blaming the Black and brown base for being too "woke".

MAGA poop on the walls

All over the country Black people are catching and dying from Coronavirus at frighteningly high rates. The virus isn’t racist but the generational impact of systemic racism has left us more vulnerable. Danielle and Toure talk about the reasons why Coronavirus is striking Black people more and also say goodbye to Bernie this week on Democracyish.

Where’s The BDE?

Thu, 02 Apr 2020 07:03:00 GMT

Trump is triggering us like crazy. We’re angry, we’re scared, we’re over his bullsh*t. The man wanted to “ride it out”—he asked what would happen if he did nothing about Corona. Jesus. We can’t. And Biden’s troubling. And Cuomo’s thrilling. Politics are giving us all the emotions this week on Democracyish.

Stuck In The Center With Joe

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 07:00:00 GMT

Joe Biden appears to be the nominee. Black voters stood up and went for Joe in big numbers because he’s safe, and he’s decent, and he stood by Barack Obama for eight years. And because Bernie Sanders never did anything to overtly woo Black voters. Democracy-ish weighs in on the state of the race, still wondering why Joe Biden has a standing invite to the cookout.

Meet Brandaun Dean, Candidate for US Senate

Fri, 06 Mar 2020 08:00:00 GMT

Brandaun Dean is an extraordinary person. He was the youngest Black Mayor in America, of a small city in Alabama, now he’s running for Senate in Pennsylvania. He’s also homeless. He’s also a dogged advocate for reparations. We were so impressed with him as a person we wanted to introduce him to you as someone to look out for.

Bernie and the S-Word

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 08:03:00 GMT

Bernie has moved into the lead and Bloomie has fallen flat on his face but there’s still much to argue about: who should drop out? Is anyone thinking about the good of the party?

We’re Living In A Banana Republic

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 07:03:00 GMT

The country is a mess (well, the GOP is a mess) but Trump is very vulnerable (his approval rating is a very consistent 40%) and the GOP’s hold on the Senate is tenuous (Susan Collins in Maine, Joni Ernst in Iowa and Martha McSally in Arizona are all in trouble). Could Dems win the Senate and snatch the gavel from the Crypt Keeper’s cold, dead hands? It’s possible. Touré and Danielle @deetwocents explain how…
