Summary: <br> Welcome to the radio magazine, that gives you a weekly hour of <br> African American political thought and action, news, commentary and <br> analysis from a Black Left perspective with your host Glen Ford and his <br> co-host, Nellie Bailey. <br> <br> <br> - Dilma Rousseff, of the Brazilian <br> Workers Party, was removed from her office as president, last week, and <br> put on trial by the nation’s Senate on charges of manipulating the <br> budget. Rousseff is not accused of any acts of personal corruption, but <br> about 60 percent of the Senators that will be judging her DO face <br> corruption charges. Rousseffs Worker’s Party says the impeachment <br> proceedings amount to a “soft coup,” and they will fight it out in <br> streets. Dr. Gerald Horne is a prolific author and professor of history <br> and African American Studies at the University of Houston. He says the <br> right-wing move against Rousseff must be understood in a global context.<br> - Socialist<br> Alternative Party leader Kshama Sawant is circulating a petition asking<br> Bernie Sanders to run as an independent if his campaign for the <br> Democratic presidential nomination is unsuccessful. Sawant says Sanders <br> should either run on the Green Party ticket or pave the way for a new <br> party of the 99 percent. The Green Party will choose its presidential <br> candidate in August, and the nominee is expected to be Dr. Jill Stein. <br> We asked Dr. Stein, Aren’t the Greens already a Party of the 99%?<br> - A<br> statewide work stoppage by inmates at Alabama prisons seems to be <br> winding down.
