Beirut-based journalist Séamus Malekafzali reports back on Lebanon where he was living until a few days ago. Journalist Prem Thakker suggests the U.S. is "picking a fight with Hezbollah," breaks down the smearing of Rashida Tlaib, and reacts to the State Department's hypocrisy on Israel. And Katie reads "The Perplexing Smiles of the Children of Palestine,” a poem by Marcellus Williams who was executed by the state of Missouri on Tuesday night, despite exonerating evidence and the pleas of the victim's family, the prosecutor and the jurors.
Prem Thakker is a reporter at Zeteo News. He was previously a politics reporter at The Intercept, and is a former reporter at The New Republic. His work has also appeared in The American Prospect, Washington Monthly, CNN podcasts, and his newsletter Better World.
Séamus Malekafzali is a journalist on the Middle East and Global South who writes for The Nation, The Baffler and at https://www.seamus-malekafzali.com
