    Navigating the Complexities of Dissent: Insights from an Iranian Activist

    Becoming Bridge Builders

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 13, 2026 52:15 Transcription Available


    The main focus of today's discussion is the urgent human rights crisis in Iran, highlighted through the powerful stories of our guest, Zolal Habibi, an Iranian human rights activist whose life is deeply linked to the fight for freedom, dignity, and justice. For over twenty years, Zolal has been a strong voice advocating for the silenced, especially on women's rights and democratic reform during times of significant societal upheaval. As we explore the challenging situation in modern Iran, marked by unprecedented protests, a militarized crackdown, and severe human rights abuses, we will examine Zolal's insights on the effects of recent regime changes and the persistent resilience of the Iranian people. The complex geopolitical issues, along with the worsening economic conditions caused by ongoing conflict, offer a multi-layered perspective on this urgent humanitarian crisis. Our discussion aims not only to shed light on the struggles of those oppressed in Iran but also to consider the wider implications for global peace and stability, stressing the importance of supporting the Iranian people's pursuit of self-determination and justice.In a powerful exploration of Iran's fight for justice and human rights, Zola Habib shares her compelling insights with Rev. Dr. Keith Haney. The podcast goes beyond simple discussion, immersing listeners in the harsh realities faced by the Iranian people during an unprecedented national uprising. Zola describes the seismic changes happening in Iran, especially after the death of the Supreme Leader and the subsequent increase in state violence. This conversation serves as a call to recognize the human toll of political repression, as Zola recounts firsthand stories of brutality against protesters and the systematic targeting of dissenters. Additionally, the discussion examines the strategic impact of international responses to these crises and advocates for strong support for those daring to challenge the regime. The podcast ultimately aims to equip its audience with knowledge and empathy, urging a collective commitment to the Iranian resistance and a deeper critique of the geopolitical factors that worsen human suffering in the region.Takeaways: The current state of Iran is characterized by unprecedented protests and governmental repression, resulting in a humanitarian crisis. Zolal Habibi's advocacy for human rights in Iran stems from personal tragedy, as her father was a victim of political violence. The Iranian regime's attempt to maintain control through lethal force has led to widespread casualties and arrests, creating a volatile environment. The transitional leadership in Iran, marked by the ascendance of Khamenei's son, indicates a continuity of the regime's oppressive policies rather than a departure from them. The international community's response to the Iranian plight must prioritize supporting the resistance movement rather than engaging in appeasement tactics. The resilience of the Iranian people amidst severe repression highlights their unwavering commitment to democracy and justice, necessitating global solidarity.

    Shoot us a Text.Episode #1291: An activist investor pushes CarMax to overhaul its digital game, Carvana accelerates same-day delivery into Los Angeles, and Lucid rolls out CarPlay and Android Auto updates while resetting its software strategy. Activist investor Starboard Value is turning up the heat on CarMax's incoming CEO, arguing the used-car giant has plenty of untapped potential, and they've got a $350 million stake to back up that opinion.Starboard sent a letter to CEO-elect Keith Barr calling out CarMax for falling short, and pushing for a streamlined online trade-in process and better digital conversion rates.The firm wants SG&A expenses capped at 70–75% of gross profit, and believes modest price cuts of $100–$300 per vehicle could restore competitiveness.Starboard is also nominating two board members, including its own CEO Jeffrey Smith, signaling this is more than a suggestion.Analysts at Truist agree there's room to improve, but warn that gaining ground on Carvana while cutting costs at the same time won't be easy."If CarMax can get its flywheel moving again as Starboard talked about, then I think the stock would be drastically higher than it is today," said Morningstar analyst David Whiston.Carvana is taking its same-day delivery service to the City of Angels, and if you thought they were already moving fast, Los Angeles is about to find out what that really means.Carvana has rolled out same-day vehicle delivery to the Los Angeles metro area, letting eligible customers go from online checkout to driveway delivery in a matter of hours.Customers looking to sell can also get same-day pickup or drop-off after completing an online appraisal — making the whole transaction, buy or sell, a same-day affair.LA joins Sacramento and San Diego, making California one of the more saturated same-day markets, with Carvana now operating the service across 20 states nationwide.Lucid Motors is delivering some good news to Gravity SUV owners just in time for its investor day. After a rough few months of software headaches, it's a welcome update.Lucid is pushing a software update to North American Gravity SUV owners Thursday that enables Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with European and Middle East owners getting it in late March.The features have been available on the Lucid Air sedan for some time, but the Gravity has had a rocky software rollout, significant enough that Lucid's interim CEO issued a public apology to owners.Lucid recently parted ways with several top software leaders and last month laid off 12% of its workforce.Today's show is brought to you by iPacket Value.

    A Wired writer is crying that fandom discourse on X feels “extra cringe right now” because she lost her safe space for progressive fan spaces after Elon Musk bought it. The article complains that X has become too reactionary and hostile for fans of shows like Heated Rivalry, pushing people back to Tumblr where they can avoid bad-faith arguments and right-wing pushback. Clownfish TV tears it apart for the massive hypocrisy — X was literally ground zero for the worst cancel culture mob attacks and career-ending witch hunts until Elon took over and let people speak freely.

    A Clare disability rights activist is calling on the Government to alter the means test for housing adaptation grants, claiming applicants are unfairly being denied the full amount available. The Department of Housing has announced that Clare is set to receive €4.1 million for the delivery of the grants in 2026. The allocation for 2026 represents an increase of approximately €1 million from last years figure, with €3.5 million provided in exchequer funding, and €600,000 contributed by Clare County Council. Ennistymon-based Clare Leader Forum co-founder, Anne-Marie Flanagan, says in many cases the person applying for the grant is not the person subject to the means test.

    Michael Young returns to the podcast for another epic conversation with Bridget to pull back the curtain on Beautiful Trouble—the activist handbook that's basically Rules for Radicals on steroids. If you've ever wondered why protests seem to turn on and off like a faucet, why certain tactics feel weirdly coordinated, or how Minnesota went from zero to chaos overnight, this conversation breaks down the entire playbook. Michael walks us through the actual training manuals activists use: how to put targets in decision dilemmas, why “the real action is your target's reaction,” deploying sympathetic characters like the Wall of Moms, playing to the audience that isn't there (the cameras), using your radical fringe to shift the Overton window, the spectrum of allies strategy, power mapping, and how they literally hold training camps teaching people how to organize protests with color-coded violence zones. Michael and Bridget cover the disconnect between sports journalists and normies over hockey players laughing at Trump's joke, why the Left can't understand that masculine spirit of “broken teeth, put me in coach,” the disdain for normies embedded in critical theory, how everything gets politicized to give it meaning, the meta-level self-awareness that makes these tactics so effective, why it's designed to look organic when it's anything but, and what happens when you realize none of this is accidental—it's all in the handbook.#MichaelYoung #WokeDistance #CriticalRaceTheory #CultureWar #walkinswelcome Topics covered: Beautiful Trouble handbook analysis, the origins of the name Woke Distance, how social tactics are leveraged against individuals, property damage as an intentional protest tactic, and staying sane in the culture war.

    "The thing that puzzled him was why people don't agree to be fully expressed while they're alive. Why does it only happen in their last moment? Why wouldn't you live being fully expressed?"My guest today is AL Kennedy. She is one of Britain's most acclaimed and versatile literary voices, a writer who can inhabit the internal life of a soldier in a POW camp, as she did in her Costa Book Award-winning novel Day, as easily as she can navigate the "professional lying" of a modern civil servant.Her latest novel, Alive in the Merciful Country, takes place during the 2020 lockdown. It tells the story of a primary school teacher who receives a confession from an undercover police officer who infiltrated her life decades earlier. It's a provocative investigation into state power, the "Spy Cops" scandal and the search for mercy in an age of surveillance. It's a book about the breakdown of trust. We talk about her life, her activism, and why she believes fiction is the only way to tell the truth when the facts are forbidden and how she balances the truth of her novels with the relief of stand-up comedy.(0:00) Finding Your VoiceOn the Alfred Wolfsohn voice method and the power of being fully expressed(2:30) Reading from Alive in the Merciful CountryKennedy shares a passage from her latest novel, exploring hope and resilience in dark times.(4:43) The Myth of Shrinking Attention SpansChallenging the narrative that modern audiences cannot focus, and the importance of engaging storytelling.(6:22) Education and the Foundation of DemocracyThe dangers of dismantling education and how critical thinking protects us from fascism.(10:26) The Spy Cop Scandal and State SurveillanceUnpacking the reality of undercover police infiltrating peaceful protests and intimate lives.(13:59) Lockdown: A Global Pause and the Inrush of EmpathyThe fleeting moment of unified humanity during the pandemic and how it was ultimately betrayed.(17:34) Writing Without Theft: The Ethics of Character CreationKennedy explains her imaginative process and why she refuses to steal details from real people's lives.(28:16) AI, Digital Slop, and the Loss of TrustReflections on artificial intelligence as an unstable plagiarism machine and its impact on truth.(30:03) Nature, Spirituality, and the Merciful CountryFinding healing in the natural world and navigating the future with love and awareness.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

    In this episode of Get Real or Die Trying, host Amadon DellErba sits down with Brit Arthur—founder of http://AutoimmuneDiseaseAwareness.com, CEO and designer of BeachCandy Organics (the trailblazing organic swimwear brand), holistic healer, and creator of the Feast to Wellness Protocol—for a fierce, unfiltered confrontation with autoimmune disease and the toxic systems designed to keep us dependent and unwell. Filmed on-location at Avalon EcoVillage.Brit delivers her story without apology: decades of hidden suffering—asthma, acne, body odor, gut chaos, and escalating inflammation that exploded into spinal autoimmune disease at 34, complete with genetic markers and CRP levels screaming cancer territory. Doctors pushed lifelong steroid injections and heavy pharma; she endured a year of minimal gains before walking away in fury at a system that silences symptoms instead of healing roots. She plunged into gut biome research, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, herbalism, detox protocols, and non-toxic truth—then committed fully to plant-based living, toxin elimination, and radical simplicity.The shift was explosive: joint pain and immobility dissolved in days. From needing help to turn doorknobs and being carried from bed, she climbed 8 grueling miles with a 60-pound pack months later. Her Feast to Wellness Protocol—165+ anti-inflammatory, medicinal recipes plus daily detox rituals—has now empowered over 30,000 people globally to claim symptom-free lives from every corner of the planet.Amadon and Brit tear into the heart of it:The medical and food industries that suppress rather than solve—pushing seed oils, ultra-processed garbage, mycotoxin-laden grains, GMOs, pork's toxin accumulation, and endless chemicals while ignoring root causes like glyphosate, plastics, and emotional baggageShattering hustle culture, plastic dependency, restaurant traps, and inflammatory poisons that quietly destroy usThe freedom of minimalism in India, authentic Ayurvedic immersion, copper-charged water, farmers market allegiance, and transforming every meal into medicineWhere spirituality collides with biology: how toxic thoughts, chronic judgment, fear, unresolved trauma, and victim attachment literally manifest disease—and why forgiveness, embracing discomfort, emotional alchemy, and genuine loving connection are essential for extreme, integrated healthThe urgent poisoning of our supply chain, the call for real outrage and collective rebellion, and why every choice—what we eat, wear, think, buy—is sacred resistance and stewardship of body, land, and futureThis isn't soft self-care—it's a battle cry to wake up, purge the poisons (physical, emotional, systemic), reject the "pill up and power through" deception, and seize vibrant, liberated living on your own fierce terms. If you're done suffering quietly, questioning the chemical matrix and quick-fix lies, or ready to turn pain into unbreakable purpose—this raw exchange will set you ablaze.

    In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes back her friend, Kendall Qualls, a business entrepreneur, Army veteran, and candidate for governor of Minnesota. This episode is a clarion call for civil discourse around education, governance, and community values. Kendall's vision for Minnesota is one of revitalization, seeking to address the economic challenges that have driven significant outmigration and resident dissatisfaction, and emphasizing the need for accountability and strong leadership in the statehouse.Jennifer and Kendall explore the fallout from the recent $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota and how it reflects broader governance issues in blue states. The conversation pivots to examine the implications of such scandals in Massachusetts, highlighting alarming population decline driven by those same policies. They dissect the perils of unchecked spending on illegal immigration and its impact on local communities, underscoring the need for responsible fiscal management that serves the citizens. They explore the explosive social movements in Minnesota, questioning the motives behind activist-driven narratives and the implications of such activism on public safety and community relations. This episode offers a crucial perspective on the challenges posed by ideological extremism in the political landscape, particularly regarding education, societal values, and the harrowing racial division. “We’re not hyphenated Americans, so it’s time to stop acting like it.” ~Kendall Qualls Today on Political Contessa: The consequences of economic policies in blue states directly affect local families, leading to significant outmigration to states with more favorable economic conditions. The recent fraud scandals in Minnesota reveal systemic governance failures with no accountability from state leadership. Activist-driven narratives, especially regarding immigration and public safety, can obscure critical issues affecting citizen welfare. Disrupting educational practices and ideologies is essential to cultivating future generations capable of engaging meaningfully with history. Racial and social tensions have been exacerbated by political narratives, especially following significant national events over the past several years. There’s a pressing need for candidates like Kendall Qualls to infuse fresh perspectives and drive meaningful changes in traditionally blue states like Minnesota. A call for fiscal responsibility and a reassessment of welfare policies aimed at illegal immigrants is crucial to address rising costs for local residents. Understanding historical context and the identities of our founding figures remains vital for fostering national pride and unity.

To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

On this week's podcast episode we talk with George about those cases, and the nonviolent database he has helped to assemble which shows 39 recent cases of countries whose people nonviolently overthrew a dictator.

    On February 17, 2026, Jesse Louis Jackson made transition at 84, marking a watershed chapter in four generations of African struggle for US and global power. Emerging from Africana Governance formations, Jackson leveraged two currencies—voter power and consumer power—to push US domestic and global Social Structures to have to negotiate with the organized oppressed. From Operations Breadbasket and PUSH to Rainbow Coalition Presidential campaigns of 1984 and 1988, Jackson utilized and tested every tactic available to oppressed people confronting entrenched Social Structures. In Class With Carr 311 interprets the meaning of Jackson's life and work as a case study in the possibilities and limits of Black self-determination, asking what it reveals about today's fragile and reshaping political order and what understanding him, it and ourselves demands of us now.Are you a member of Knarrative?

    Synopsis: What's it take for an independent media collective to last for almost 60 years? This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

    Jewish activist Shabbos Kestenbaum returns to the morning show to discuss Spike Lee wearing a pro-Palestinian themed outfit at the NBA All-Star game in response to Israeli NBA player & all-star Deni Avdija playing in the game, arguing it reflects a double standard toward Jews and Israel compared with other international athletes. He cites examples of Jewish and Israeli athletes facing hostility and criticizes Hollywood and prominent Jewish executives for not forcefully responding to antisemitism since October 7. The conversation also addresses antisemitism from the Black community in New York, references criticism of a Robert Kraft Super Bowl ad as unrealistic, and turns to the reported death of Jesse Jackson, whom the host says is remembered by many Jews for his antisemitic remarks and for not distancing himself from Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Kestenbaum argues that the American Jewish community's strategy of universalizing its causes has not ensured acceptance, and concludes that Jewish survival ultimately depends on Jews standing up for themselves, while acknowledging there are allies.

    On this special episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie sits down with environmentalist, author, and activist Leah Thomas (aka @greengirlleah) for a heartfelt conversation about caring for the planet in a way that centers people. What first drew Brie to Leah was her soft, joyful approach to sustainability; educating without shame and action rooted in love. Together, they explore how environmentalism isn't just about trees and carbon footprints, but about clean water, safe communities, and making sure everyone has access to a healthy place to live.Leah shares how her journey began with a love for animals and evolved into a powerful mission of intersectional environmentalism and the belief that we can't protect the planet without also protecting marginalized communities. The two dive into climate anxiety, sustainable fashion, crafting with kids, and how small, realistic steps at home can create meaningful change. It's honest, grounding, and deeply inspiring.This episode is a reminder that we are not separate from nature, we are part of it. Healing the Earth starts with how we treat each other, our neighborhoods, and ourselves.
