‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR DECEMBER 13, 2024: The Aftermath of Syria Collapse… International Human Rights Day… Plus Headlines on Gaza, Uhuru 3, Mangione, Nikki Giovanni and More…

Will Turkey's apparent duplicity with the U.S. and Israel destroy Syria and Palestine? We speak to historian Gerald Horne. And this year's International Human Rights Day links together issues of U.S. hegemony abroad with attacks on undocumented workers here at home. We hear from activists from Bayan USA advocating on behalf of Filipinos. Plus headlines on Gaza, Syria, the threat of nuclear war, Social Security, NLRB, Luigi Mangione, Uhuru 3, Nikki Giovanni R.I.P. and much more.  The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people’s voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.
