Indivisible's Ezra Levin and Hungarian organizer László Upor share creative, community-driven tactics — from joyful protests to bold campus actions — that pushed back against autocratic agendas. Their message: you have more power than you think.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: If you care about resisting autocracy and building democracy, the U.S. has much to learn from Hungary. While Donald Trump rails against Europe, he and Hungary's strongman leader, Viktor Orbán, have praised each other for years. Anti-democratic, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-queer — Orbán and Trump came to power on parallel tracks with similar values. In their first interview together, Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible (the group behind No Kings!) and László Upor, a leader in one of Hungary's most creative and visible resistance efforts, share their experiences of resisting authoritarianism. Upor is former Vice Rector and Acting Rector of the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest — the one university that fought back when the Orbán administration began taking control of Hungary's universities. Levin is the co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, the grassroots movement behind such protests as the historic Hands Off and No Kings rallies. From the principles of their organizing to frog suits and caution tape, today's episode is a masterclass in creative resistance. Plus a commentary from Laura.“Our enemy in this isn't Trump, it's not the Republicans. It's not the broader regime. Our enemy is this sense of cynicism or fatalism or nihilism . . . I do think a core principle in our communication philosophy is convincing people, you have power, you just gotta use it. The best way to use it is in concert with a lot of other people in your community.” - Ezra Levin“You have to laugh at them, not be afraid of them . . . They don't understand mirth. They don't understand the derision. They think they are invincible. And when we don't give in, they don't understand what's going on.” - László UpperGuests:• Ezra Levin: Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director, Indivisible• László Upor: Former Vice Rector & Acting Rector, University of Theatre and Film Arts (SzFE), Budapest, HungaryListen to the full uncut conversation in this podcast feed.Watch the episode released on YouTube, PBS World Channel, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Rachel Maddow reviews how poorly Donald Trump's policies are being received by the American public as Trump continues to appoint laughably unqualified sycophants to top agency roles, and leadership failures mount. As a result, not only are Trump's poll numbers tanking, but even Republican politicians are recognizing that it's not in their interest to tie their fates to Trump's sinking ship.As Donald Trump fills the leadership roles of the U.S. public health system with quacks and kooks, sane states are taking it upon themselves to employ actual experts with real public health administration experience to make sure the public has credible guidance even if that guidance is not coming from the federal government. Dr. Debra Houry, former CDC official and new senior medical adviser to the California Department of Health, talks with Rachel Maddow about this new shift in public health authority as Donald Trump and his clown show are simply ignored.And the FBI is suffering a similar fate, with Trump lackeys in leadership driving out the agency's qualified staff and leaving behind only incompetent Trump loyalists to run the sadly weakened organization.

When the news cycle is loud and life is already heavy, your nervous system pays the bill. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu talks with Andrea W LeDew, a former lawyer and mother of four, about turning political stress, grief and caregiver burnout into something usable through poetry, journaling and structured creative expression. Andrea shares how parenting a son with autism and intellectual disabilities, managing estate responsibilities after losing both parents and living through pandemic-era uncertainty pushed her toward writing as a mental health tool. The conversation also goes straight at the uncomfortable stuff. Emotional eating as coping, self-compassion vs self-sabotage, activism vs burnout and how to stay engaged without spiraling into rumination. Andrea's book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prose frames writing as survival and invites listeners to process big emotions without pretending the world is not on fire. About the Guest: Andrea W LeDew is a former lawyer turned stay-at-home mother of four and a writer focused on poetry and essays that explore political change, civic identity and emotional resilience. Her book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prosebrings together years of work shaped by grief, caregiving and public events. Key Takeaways: Political stress is real mental load. Naming it reduces shame and makes it workable for mental health and emotional well-being. Writing can function like therapy when it helps you feel, label and metabolize grief, rage and fear instead of suppressing them. Structure matters. Rhyme, form and constraints can keep expression honest without turning into endless rumination. Caregiver life adds chronic stress. If you are parenting autism or disability needs, coping tools must be realistic, not performative wellness. Comfort eating is common. The key line is habit. When coping becomes automatic daily behavior it shifts from self-compassion to self-sabotage. Activism can be healthier than hiding if it moves you from helplessness into values-based action and community connection. You can hold patriotism and critique at the same time. Reclaiming belonging should not erase marginalized experiences. Free speech and civic participation are not abstract. They are day-to-day practices that protect mental health through agency. “Touch grass” advice is incomplete. A better play is balanced inputs, boundaries on doomscrolling and intentional creative output. Your story is not finished. Creativity gives shape to chaos so it becomes something you can hold.

In this powerful and informative episode of The People's Podcast by Ismail, I sit down with Fauzia Deen, an activist lawyer and civilian board member of the Fairfax County Police Civilian Review Board in Virginia. Fauzia brings deep insight into the role of civilian oversight in policing and the ongoing work required to build accountability, transparency, and trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Our conversation explores Fauzia's personal journey into activism and law, what motivated her to serve on the civilian review board, and the real challenges faced when civilians are tasked with holding powerful systems accountable. She breaks down how the board functions, why civilian involvement matters, and what meaningful police reform looks like beyond slogans and headlines. This episode is an honest, necessary discussion about justice, civic responsibility, and the importance of community voices in shaping public safety. Fauzia Deen's work reminds us that change often happens at the local level-and that informed, engaged civilians play a critical role in that process.

Forget the stereotypes. The biggest barrier to going plant-based isn't your physical strength: it's your mental game.Join host Bryan, co-hosts Bruce Da Silva and Justin Garfield, as they sit down with the most controversial and famous voice in the modern animal rights movement: Gary Yourofsky. In this uncompromising interview, Gary holds nothing back, forcing listeners to confront the brutal truth of where our food comes from and why real strength lies in facing that truth.Gary Yourofsky's activism wasn't about health; it was driven by moral conviction and fighting injustice. He breaks down the ethical foundation of his work and delivers his powerful message on speciesism, activism, and the sheer scale of the atrocity committed against animals.In this explosive conversation, you will hear:What is Speciesism? Gary defines this core injustice as the belief that the human species thinks they are more special than all other species , leading to the exploitation of animals for food, clothing, and entertainment.The Courage of the Real Man: Yourofsky argues that the notion that veganism is weak or effeminate is a made-up notion. A real man protects those who are weaker than they are , and does not violate or take advantage of them.The World's Biggest Atrocity: Why Gary compares animal agriculture to slavery, concentration camps, and the Holocaust , arguing that the number of animals killed surpasses all human atrocities in just a few weeks.The Baby Stealing Analogy: Gary uses his quick-hit, 30-second TikTok analogy about cows and pigs giving birth to illustrate that the animal industry owns the babies, which he considers the most atrocious thing we do.Activists' Toolkit: How Gary used intimidation to challenge hostile bullies in Q&A sessions , and why he believes the single most effective way to hasten the industry's decline is for consumers to stop supporting them monetarily.The Garden of Eden: The profound healing and connection that happens when visiting a sanctuary like Sasha Farm , and why vegans must support these struggling havens.

Beginning in the 1970s, a series of government agencies established to carry out the federal “war on crime” offered financial and ideological support to the fledgling feminist movement against sexual violence. These entities promoted the carceral tactics of policing, prosecution, and punishment as the only viable means of controlling rape, and they expected anti-rape organizers to embrace them. Yet Black women anti-rape organizers viewed police as a source of violence within their communities, not a solution to it. Between the Street and the State: Black Women's Anti-Rape Activism amid the War on Crime (U Pennsylvania, 2025) examines how Black anti-rape organizers critically engaged both the feminist movement against sexual violence and the federal War on Crime between 1974 and 1994. In Philadelphia, Washington, DC, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, and Atlanta, activists inflected Black women's longstanding tradition of community-based caring labor with the Black feminist condemnation of patriarchal and state violence. Their multifaceted and adaptable brand of anti-rape advocacy was premised on sustaining the survival of Black women and girls individually and Black communities more broadly. In this way, Black anti-rape activists countered the growing emphasis within the feminist movement on controlling rape through carceral collaborations. They acted subversively, redirecting state funds and state-funded research premised on rape control to projects that offered care to Black victims. In public education, social welfare, and public health, they instituted preventative education and emotional healing as modes of justice. At times, they outspokenly resisted carceral legislation that displaced their caring labor with punitive programs of rape control. Spotlighting Black anti-rape organizers' enduring commitment to care work shows that the cooptation of the feminist movement against sexual violence by law enforcement entities was never total. Between the Street and the State deepens our historical understanding of Black women's tradition of anti-rape activism by attending to how their tactics shifted in response to the political realignments of the post–civil rights era. Guest: Caitlin Wiesner is an assistant professor of history at Mercy University who specializes in the history of gender, sexuality, race and crime control policy in the 20th century United States. She is also the author of “The War on Crime and the War on Rape: The LEAA and Philadelphia WOAR, 1974-1984," which appeared in the journal, Modern American History, in March 2024, as well as numerous book chapters and reviews. When she is not writing or in the classroom, Dr. Wiesner enjoys cooking (and eating) new foods and exploring the natural and historic wonders of her native New Jersey. Host: Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.
