‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR JULY 25, 2025: Jon Jeter on Media and Culture… The U.S. Looks More Like a Police State (Especially if You’re Black or Brown)… Plus Headlines With Gerald Horne on ICE, Jacksonville Police Brutality, DC Budget and More… 


From brutal immigration raids, to police attacks on peaceful protesters, to inhumane immigration detention facilities, the U.S. is looking more and more like a police state. And we speak to our media critic Jon Jeter about the continued murder of journalists in Gaza, and repression of free speech across Europe and in the U.S. Plus headlines on ‘Stop Starving Gaza’ protests, Gerald Horne on the for-profit ICE system, police brutality survivor William McNeil Jr. and his parents speak at press conference, Trump launches attack on U.s. workers, the latest on the DC budget, and more. 

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. In this new era of fake corporate news, we have to be and support our own media! Please click here or click on the Support-Donate tab on this website to subscribe for as little as $3 a month.
