Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, joins the show to break down the Trump administration’s unlawful deportation of hundreds of immigrants,including Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia, mistakenly sent to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison. A month later, no one held at CECOT has been allowed to contact their families—not even to confirm they’re alive. Reichlin-Melnick unpacks the human cost, Trump’s refusal to bring Garcia home, and the chilling possibility that U.S. citizens could be next.

Ruweida Amer, a journalist and teacher from Gaza, joins the show to report on Israel's US-backed genocide of Palestinians amid relentless bombardment and the total blockade of the besieged strip. Having worked on BreakThrough's film “The Encampments”, she will discuss Israel's systematic destruction of Gaza's education system, where over 70% of schools have been directly hit and all universities destroyed since October 2023.

Alec Karakatsanis, a civil rights lawyer and founder of Civil Rights Corps, joins the show to discuss his groundbreaking new book Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News. Karakatsanis will explain how the police and the corporate-owned media team up to distort public perception of crime —spreading fear, fueling mass incarceration, and propping up a system that criminalizes poverty, ignores white-collar crime, and prioritizes punishment over real public safety.

Zoe Alexandra, Editor of Peoples Dispatch, joins the show to discuss Ecuador’s controversial April 13 election, where right-wing incumbent Daniel Noboa was declared the winner despite polls favoring progressive presidential candidate Luisa González, who calls it "the most grotesque election fraud in Ecuador’s history" and demands a recount. Alexandra will provide updates on the unfolding situation in Ecuador, which remains entrenched in a deep social, economic, and political crisis.

At BreakThrough News we tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities. At present, five corporations dominate the media landscape, including 90% of what we read, watch, listen to, and depend on for information about the world. Nowhere among the headlines do we hear the perspectives of working people and movements for social justice. Our mission is to break through the static, disinformation and fluff.

BreakThrough / BT Media Inc. is a nonprofit media and educational organization dedicated to independent, fact-based reporting and commentary on a diverse range of issues affecting the global movements for social justice. We are a recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the United States. To remain free of bias and preserve our editorial independence, we accept no corporate donations or state funding.
