Climate, labor and indigenous activists feel betrayed by Biden’s negotiations with Republicans to possibly cut his infrastructure bill even more, scuttling already pared-back projects to address the climate crisis and create good jobs. We hear from activists speaking at a rally on May 24, 2021 organized by the Sunrise Movement in front of the White House. Gerald Horne weighs in on the anti-China US Innovation and Competition Act passed by Congress and “autonomous” drones killing Libyans.
