First, Angela Gonzales-Torres — democratic socialist, daughter of a deportee, running against ethics-challenged incumbent Rep. Jimmy Gomez in California’s 34th District. She takes no corporate or super PAC money, calls for abolishing ICE, taxing billionaires to save health care, and has organized alongside undocumented students and rapid-response networks through the raids. Angela’s campaign is at angela4congress.com.

Then Tanya Vyhovsky, Vermont State Senator -- just back from driving across Ukraine because the trains are targets, recounts witnessing a power station bombed across the street from dinner in Kyiv. Russian attacks on the energy grid are leaving people without electricity and water as winter approaches. Tanya describes what she witnessed, the determination of Ukrainians to determine their own future, the dangers of Trump's concessions to Putin -- she calls the diesel deal “blood money” that will fund Putin’s war machine without lowering prices at the pump, and the continuing struggle of Ukraine's democratic left, who draw a distinction between opposing Zelensky’s neoliberal policies and defending Ukraine’s sovereignty, insisting "Nothing about us without us." We also discuss solidarity with Russian antiwar dissidents, and a new International Solidarity Convoy to Ukraine that Tanya will join next month, bringing desperately needed generators to Ukraine before winter.

It's also deeply personal: Moser begins with his grandfather's copy of Herzl, the one object the family carried out of Nazi Germany, and traces his own break with Zionism to a 2016 trip to Hebron. "It's not that Israel is doing things that are wrong," he told me. "It's that Israel itself is wrong."]]> 3604 no Public Affairs - Local
