Why is the U.S. obsessed with sanctions?

The United States imposes more sanctions than any other country on Earth. Since the 1960s, [sanctions have become a core element of U.S. diplomatic strategy] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/interactive/2024/us-sanction-countries-work/?itid=ap_jeffstein&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) , with countries like North Korea, [Venezuela] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/07/26/venezuela-crisis-immigration-us-sanctions-trump/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) , [Syria] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/interactive/2024/us-syria-civil-war-sanctions-drug-trafficking/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) , Russia, China and Iran all being subject to these economic penalties.

The long aftermath of the Freedom Summer murders

On a hot June evening in 1964, Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman were ambushed by the Ku Klux Klan and killed as they left town. The atrocity became a seminal moment in the civil rights movement. Yet 60 years after the killings, some people in Philadelphia worry that the country is forgetting what was learned along the way. Others wonder what the past is owed — and for how long. [They talked with Susan Levine this spring about their community’s painful legacy of racism.] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2024/mississippi-klan-killings-1964-impact-history/?itid=ap_susanlevine&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) This episode was produced and mixed by Bishop Sand.

Meet the organizers trying to reverse Florida’s abortion ban

Florida is just [one of a number of states] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/08/13/abortion-ballot-measures-missouri-arizona/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) where abortion rights will be on the November ballot. In Florida, voters will decide whether to pass Amendment 4, which would reverse Florida’s six-week abortion ban and put abortion protections in the state constitution. Grassroots organizers in Florida have [been going door to door trying to get out the vote to pass Amendment 4] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/07/10/latinos-abortion-ballot-amendments-states-florida/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) . Some of these groups have been specifically targeting Latino voters, who organizers believe have been ignored by the Democratic Party. This summer, reporter Molly Hennessy-Fiske visited Florida to spend time with these organizers and see the kinds of conversations they were having with potential voters. Today on “Post Reports,” host Elahe Izadi speaks with Molly about what she learned in Florida about how abortion rights could shape the election.

Transgender athletes and the myth of inclusion in sports

Today on “Post Reports,” how a college track star’s gender transition changed her relationship to the sport she loves. And Post sports columnist Jerry Brewer on the efforts to include – or exclude – trans athletes from the wider world of sports. Read more: During the Paris Olympics, female boxers [Imane Khelif of Algeria] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/2024/08/01/imane-khelif-algerian-boxer-gender-paris-olympics/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) and [Lin Yu Ting of Taiwan] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/2024/08/04/lin-yu-ting-boxer-olympics/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) were falsely accused of being transgender, after the International Boxing Association claimed without evidence that the women had failed gender eligibility tests in a previous competition. The IBA is not recognized by the International Olympic Committee, which defended the women’s participation in the Olympics, and questioned the validity of the IBA’s tests. The outcry over both women’s participation – spread by prominent figures such as J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk – was a prime example of what sports columnist Jerry Brewer has called [a “panic” over trans inclusion in sports] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/interactive/2024/transgender-sports-debate-politics/?itid=ap_jerrybrewer&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) in his “ [Grievance Games] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/interactive/2024/american-sports-grievance-culture/?itid=ap_jerrybrewer&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) ” series for The Post. “I think we think that sports is a place for everyone,” Jerry said. “But I think there's a myth of inclusion about sports. And I think that we have a long history of exclusion that brave people have had to fight through to make us more inclusive, to make us more diverse.” On today’s “Post Reports,” host Martine Powers speaks with Jerry about how [the promise of sports as a national unifier has buckled under the pressure of grievance and division] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/interactive/2024/american-sports-grievance-culture/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) .

Bridgeview, Ill., just 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, is home to one of the largest concentrations of Palestinian Americans in the country.

TikTok, Big Tech and where your data is going

TikTok, which says it has 170 million U.S. users, made it [too easy for children] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/08/02/doj-tiktok-child-privacy-lawsuit/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) to create accounts and then collected data on those who did — a major violation of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, known as COPPA, the Justice Department alleged in a lawsuit on Friday. But tech companies collecting and selling data from users goes far beyond TikTok — and affects everyone.

The escalating fight over Venezuela's future

It has been one week since [Venezuela’s presidential election] (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/07/29/venezuela-presidential-election-result-maduro/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports) . Both sides have claimed victory – but a review of the tallies collected by the opposition paints a different picture. In the hours and days after the election, independent observers and world leaders called on President Nicolás Maduro to publish the voting records and corroborate his claims of winning. Meanwhile, the opposition, led by Edmundo González and María Corina Machado, has collected thousands of receipts – printed voting tallies – that point to what could be the largest electoral fraud Venezuela has ever seen. Host Martine Powers speaks with Bogotá bureau chief Samantha Schmidt about the fallout of the election and how The Post analyzed these voting tallies to determine what happened in the election.
