“What we are seeing now is the naked face of power. And people are waking up to the fact that those in power no longer represent them”.

In this searing new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we are joined by author and journalist Fatima Bhutto to connect the dots between power and propaganda — and to explore how we can build resistance.

Representative democracy is crumbling before our eyes, while dissent is being eroded and authoritarianism is on the rise. From the rising political violence to the legacy media’s complicity, and to the betrayal of feminist movements staying silent on Gaza, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

⚠️ What happens when journalism becomes propaganda?

⚠️ Is there still any meaningful difference between left and right?

⚠️ How has the feminist movement betrayed Palestinian women?

⚠️ What is left of representative democracy?

⚠️ What has Palestine become the litmus test for?

⚠️ How can we build a movement of resistance?

This is a sobering, unflinching conversation about empire, complicity, and the urgent need to resist.
