Summary

It's an Emma-jority Report May Day, and we've got a jam-packed show for you. one of Mohsen Mahdawi's lawyers Shezza Abboushi Dallal is here to talk about his release from ICE detention and what lies ahead ahead for his case. She's also on Mahmoud Khalil's legal defense team. After that, Emma talks to Astra Taylor about the restarting of collections on defaulted student loans and the Republicans' plan working its way through Congress to dismantle public education.

In the Fun Half, Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton join us to check in in Mark Zuckerberg and META's AI projects, which involve AI therapists, friends and girlfriends. He says this will help satiate some of our non-satiated demand for "connectivity." Stephen Miller goes on a bizarre diatribe about public schools in an attempt to justify why the administration is looking to defund the public school system. They also listen to the horrific account of a woman who was mistake for a pro-Palestinian protester and assaulted by a crowd of men outside a Chabad temple that was hosting an event with the far-right National Security Minister, the war criminal Itamar Ben-Gvir. She said the police largely stood by and watched the pro-Israel crowd assault her.

On of our regular callers Annie gave an optimistic update on her situation, and is hoping to get across the finish line with her fundraising goal for her treatment for  Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Help her out if you're able to:
