    Watching the news has been especially horrifying lately. We're drowning in video of armed, masked ice agents charging into neighborhoods, refusing to identify themselves, snatching up our neighbors, and the next thing you know they've been deported to terrible prisons in other countries, deprived of due process, and at the mercy of a government that is refusing to follow orders of federal courts. Cristina Jimenez knows that fear, and also knows how to fight back. She is the co-founder of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the country, and the author of the new book “Dreaming of Home."

How, for example, are trans rights intimately connected to abortion rights?Fearne and Munroe chat about how to practice self-acceptance, particularly around body image, and how to use your voice to create positive change. They also cover grief, and numbing out as a way of dealing with poor mental health.Munroe's new book, Talk To Me, is out on June 5th, and you can watch her documentary, Love and Rage, in cinemas from June 10th.This episode also contains an exclusive first listen to a chapter of Kirsty Gallagher's new book, Your Cosmic Purpose, which is published by Happy Place Books on June 5th.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Emma DabiriOlly AlexanderKirsty Gallagher Hosted on Acast.

    America's Political Prisoner Mahmoud Khalil—Columbia student, green card holder, and husband to a U.S. citizen—has been detained for nearly three months without being charged with a single crime. His “crime”? Leading peaceful pro-Palestinian protests and refusing to cover his face. While his wife Noor Abdallah gave birth to their son alone, Mahmoud sat in ICE detention in Louisiana.Hawk discusses the heartbreaking and outrageous story of Khalil's arrest, the shadowy role of Canary Mission, and the disturbing involvement of officials like Marco Rubio and Columbia professor Shai Davidai. He explores how dissent is being criminalized in real time under the Trump administration—and how Canary Mission's blacklisting of activists is being used to feed arrests.Hawk highlights the courageous voice of Mahmoud's wife Noor Abdallah, legal updates on Mahmoud's case, and the broader implications for First Amendment rights, academic freedom, and the silencing of Palestinian solidarity.This is a story of political imprisonment, media complicity, and systemic injustice. It's also a story of resilience, love, and the quiet strength of a family fighting back.

    Healing doesn't always begin with answers. Sometimes it starts with the questions no one ever thought to ask.Before she became the voice behind Smarter in Seconds, Blair Imani was navigating a deeply personal journey through mental health, identity, and belonging, quietly and in plain sight. In this powerful conversation, Blair shares the story most people haven't heard: the one that came before the platform, the book deals, and the viral success. From early struggles with depression and institutionalization to navigating faith, queerness, and sobriety in public, Blair opens up about what it really means to heal in real time. Not perfectly. Not all at once. But bravely and out loud. This episode isn't just about one woman's recovery. It's about what it means to live at the intersection of identities, expectations, and survival and how choosing joy, setting boundaries, and speaking hard truths can transform not just a life, but a legacy.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & SHARE your thoughts in the comments!__________________↳ YouTube↳ Apple Podcast↳ Spotify↳ Instagram↳ Tiktok↳ Facebook__________________Patrick Custer - Host↳ Instagram: @thepatrickcuster↳ TikTok: @thepatrickcuster↳ YouTube: @thepatrickcuster↳ Facebook: @thepatrickcuster↳ Website: linktr.ee/patrickcusterBlair Imani - Guest↳ Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@blairimani⁠↳ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@blairimani⁠↳ YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@blairimani↳ Tiktok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@blairimani⁠↳ Website: www.blairimani.com⁠__________________Promises Behavioral Health – Treatment for addiction, mental health/trauma:↳ Admissions: (888) 648-4098↳ Insta: ⁠@promises_bh↳ URL: ⁠www.promisesbehavioralhealth.com⁠ Mental Health America:↳ URL: www.mhanational.org⁠About Blair Imani: Blair Imani is the creator of the viral web series, Smarter In Seconds, LA Times bestselling author of Read This to Get Smarter, and co-host of the podcast Thoughts About Feelings.

She is very rapid to be known publicly as “the Smarter in Seconds lady,” and feels it is an honor to be a part of so many people's learning experiences. She consistently promotes the value of mutual respect across differences, asserting that meaningful progress requires creating spaces where diverse perspectives are honored and dehumanization is not tolerated.

    Every five minutes, someone somewhere in the world is diagnosed with MS. But getting that diagnosis can be challenging. And the evidence is clear that early intervention makes a difference. The sooner someone can begin a disease-modifying therapy, the better their outcome is going to be. World MS Day is May 30th, and this year, World MS Day is focused on eliminating the obstacles that get in the way of a timely and accurate diagnosis.    I thought World MS Day would be the perfect time to invite Meredith O'Brien to join me to discuss her new book, Uncomfortably Numb 2: An Anthology for Newly-Diagnosed MS Patients. We'll also explain how the drastic cuts to Medicaid funding that were approved by the U.S. House of Representatives will affect hundreds of thousands of people with MS, and how the additional changes made to the Affordable Care Act will leave millions of Americans without health insurance. We're sharing the results of a study that may have identified how B-cells infected by the Epstein-Barr Virus migrate into the brain. And we'll explain why that could be the activity that triggers MS. We'll tell you about a study that makes the case for treating pediatric MS with Ocrevus. And we'll share the results of a study that discovered an association between inflammation-causing molecules and frailty among people with relapsing forms of MS. We have a lot to talk about!

    Josh Hammer is Senior Council at the Article III Project. Today he joins the show to discuss the judicial activism taking place within state and local jurisdictions. These Obama and Biden-era appointed judges are overstepping their reach and power to try and prevent the mandate the American people gave President Trump to fulfill. Judge Hannah Dugan literally tried to prevent ICE from arresting an illegal alien at her court for domestic abuse charges. Judge James Boasberg is demanding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador, to be returned to the U.S. Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, has served in federal court for around 6 months and is already trying to reverse USAID payments that have been blocked by the Trump administration. Josh Hammer gives us expert insight on previous cases and how they were adjudicated. When looking at the Supreme Court, the Martin-Quinn score shows a liberal/conservative ideology scale in which our current Supreme Court judges rule. Even though 5 out of the 9 judges tend to judge in a Conservative fashion, Clarence Thomas is still the gold standard of Supreme Court judges.

    On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the Supreme Court addressed a case involving President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. These national injunctions represent an unconstitutional overreach by federal district courts, lacking a historical or constitutional basis, and justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson are promoting a "deconstitutionalization" of government by justifying such injunctions as a means to force quick Supreme Court review.  The judiciary's actions, particularly from activist judges, are a dangerous expansion of power that undermines the Constitution and executive authority, especially in critical areas like national security. The 14th Amendment was solely intended to grant citizenship to children of former slaves, not to children of foreigners, and that the current practice of birthright citizenship is a constitutional fiction unsupported by historical evidence.  This case is fundamentally about power—specifically, who has the authority to make critical decisions. Activist federal district judges, backed by justices like Jackson and Amy Coney Barrett, are wielding negative power to overturn the last election and undermine the Constitution by endorsing these injunctions. Prediction: the Court, lacking courage, will likely uphold the status quo, citing long-standing executive branch practice and the potential burden on future children born in the U.S., thus perpetuating a misinterpretation of the Constitution that threatens American liberty.

    Carlos Mallo Molina has been awarded the 2025 Goldman Environmental Prize for protecting the marine biodiversity of Tenerife, the most populated of the Canary Islands. On this episode of Mongabay's podcast, Molina explains what led him to quit his job as a civil engineer on a road project impacting the Teno-Rasca marine protected area (MPA) and his subsequent campaign to stop the port project it was planned to connect to, which would have impacted the biodiversity of the area. His successful campaign contributed to the decision of the Canary Islands government to abandon the port plan.  Now, Molina and his nonprofit Innoceana are helping set up an environmental education center in its place. "I was going diving every weekend in my free time, and it was full of sea turtles, it was full of whales, it was full of marine life. And so, I think understanding how my impact was going to destroy [a] marine protected area … I think that was where I had my biggest click in my brain … I need to do something to change what I'm doing, in [a] way that I can protect this ocean," he says.
