‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR OCTOBER 23, 2026: New Report Details Trump’s Crushing of Dissent… Breakthrough News Keeps Fighting Back… Resurgent Racism inside the U.S. on Full Blast at U.N… Plus Headlines
Friday, 23 October, 2026
A new report details the ways the Trump administration is criminalizing constitutionally protected rights of free speech, dissent and protest. We speak to our media critic Jon Jeter. And at the recently concluded meetings of the United Nations Human Rights Council, resurgent racism inside the U.S. was on full blast. We hear from Awa Dabo, United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, addressing the Human Rights Council during its 63rd session in Geneva on September 26th 2026, and Kari Sigenthaler, legal intern for the ACLU Human Rights Program speaking during the same session on September 29th. 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.
