90 Miles From Needles with Chris Clarke and Alicia Pike

Border-wall contractors have destroyed three ancient Fremont cottonwoods in the tiny community of Lochiel, Arizona. The trees, estimated to be 200 to 250 years old, stood within the path of two proposed 30-foot border walls through the San Rafael Valley. One landmark cottonwood remains—and activists have occupied it in what may be the first tree sit organized against border-wall construction. Kate Scott joins Chris Clarke from the Casita de la Esperanza, the activists’ base in the former Lochiel port of entry. She describes the destruction of the cottonwoods, the birds and other wildlife that depended upon them, and concerns that construction continued despite evidence of active nests. She also explains why activists are demanding that the remaining tree be spared and the proposed secondary wall be stopped. The fight is about more than one tree. For Scott and her fellow organizers, the surviving cottonwood represents the ecological richness, cultural history, and cross-border relationships threatened by wall construction throughout the Arizona–Sonora borderlands. Episode image modified from a photo by the Center for Biological Diversity Key Takeaways Contractors destroyed three of Lochiel’s four landmark cottonwoods to clear space for border-wall construction. Activists are occupying the remaining tree and calling for the proposed secondary wall through Lochiel to be abandoned. The cottonwoods provided habitat for barn owls, flickers, kingbirds, insects, and other wildlife; Scott also reports hearing a threatened yellow-billed cuckoo. Scott says Customs and Border Protection had promised protections for active bird nests, but activists saw no meaningful environmental monitoring during the removal. Organizers are using direct action alongside art, music, ceremony, and public gatherings to defend the San Rafael Valley. The wall threatens not only wildlife movement but also a historic border community, neighboring ranchland in Sonora, and potentially significant archaeological resources. Notable Quotes “We do not want a double wall through this historic community.” “Each one [of the cottonwoods is] unique—a universe in and of itself.” “This is not a crossing point. This is a wildlife migratory corridor.” “We’re not taking this anymore. We’re making our stand here.” “Don’t obey in advance.” Resources Rally for the Valley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rallyforthevalley/ GiveButter Donation Link: https://givebutter.com/stop-destruction-in-lochiel-oxsxdpBecome a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this compelling episode of Let's Have This Conversation, Nicholas shares why improving public health requires far more than advances in medicine. It demands courageous leadership, community activism, policy reform, and a willingness to challenge systems that perpetuate inequality. Our conversation explores the evolution of public health activism through the lens of some of society's most pressing challenges, including: Nicholas also discusses his newest book, Fighting for New York: Activism for Health and Social Justice Since the 1960s, which chronicles decades of grassroots organizing and reveals the lessons today's leaders, advocates, educators, and policymakers can apply to create healthier, more equitable communities. As the founder of CUNY's Urban Food Policy Institute, the Hunter College Center on AIDS, Drugs and Community Health, and the university-wide Healthy CUNY initiative, Nicholas has spent a lifetime turning research into action. His work demonstrates that meaningful societal change happens when academic knowledge, community engagement, and public policy come together. Whether you're a public health professional, healthcare leader, policymaker, nonprofit executive, educator, student, or simply someone passionate about creating healthier communities, this conversation offers valuable insights into how collective action can improve lives and shape a more just society.

"Mom never allowed me to shy away from the challenges," says Chantal who refers to herself as a neurodiversity advocate. At a young age, Chantal's mom picked up that that her daughter's learning abilities seemed  off.  It was clear that Chantal's behavior at home didn't reflect correctly with her report cards.  Chantal struggled in school, in part due to her learning difficulties plus the social pressures from her piers and bullying. But again, it was Yvonne who continually encouraged her daughter to "not worry about it. You'll always run your own business." Chantal wishes she had seen her mom's sensibility earlier on instead of putting more pressure on herself to tackle fields of study that were  too rigorous,  ie, sciences and graphic design. According to my guest,  "my mother taught  me how to manage and look out for my burnout." One of the most important messages that Chantal wants to get across is " no one should ever be ashamed of the tools  or the accommodations  they need because of neurodiversity disabilities." Now, starting her own business has lessened the pressure on Chantal. SOCOLO came about because of the difficulties she had when reading and focusing on words specifically on white paper or causing 'visual stress.' "50% of the people with Autism and 50% of the people with Dyslexia also have visual stress or Irlin Syndrome. So white paper doesn't quite work with our group. The whole idea  behind SOCOLO was to deal with the emotional side of Dyslexia."  Chantal has a wonderful story to tell of the strength of her mother and how important it was that her mother never faulted her daughter for her challenges, yet lifter her up and encouraged her every step of the way.   Website: socolo.co.uk Instagram: @so.co.lo https://www.instagram.com/so.co.lo/   TikTok: @so.co.lo https://www.tiktok.com/@so.co.lo?lang=en   YouTube: @socolo https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3jAWqq-_G7x4zrA-KGuKxA https://www.irlensyndrome.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq9ai1Y_u_AIVDbrICh0qYwJpEAAYASAAEgITgfD_BwE     "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Before you proceed, I  want to warn you, that this episode does contain graphic content that some may find disturbing. Vivace is a very bright woman who received her undergraduate and graduate degree in Biology from Cornell University. She worked in the medical field for twelve years before becoming  a speaker and life coach. My guest explains that "my mother was my BFF and she lives for her children." This was all terribly hard because Vivace always wanted her mother "to feel  valued and honored yet she was at the bottom of everyone's totem pole." Unfortunately, the abuse toward she and her mother started when Vivace was very young and continued until both women left the family, leaving behind the two sons as they chose to remain with their father. Yet, Vivace recalls asking her mother on a regular basis  "can we leave today, can we leave today" but it was years before they left.  From a young age, Vivace would confront her father verbally about the abuse, but her bravery came with a price.  With $100 in their pocket, both women left the horrific beatings behind and found shelter with family members who unfortunately knew of the abuse, but never came to Jaleh's rescue. Through many years of depression, pain, anger, resentment and a planned suicide,  Vivace began her healing process through therapy, research and seeking the truth.  She uses her past experience as a tool to help her clients improve their self worth and confidence through compassion and understanding. Ultimately, the client has to realize that the possibilities are limitless.     Website:https://fierceselfconfidence.com Instagram: @vivacemaxvictor YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiDk4sN1vUlYOrQ_gg8mDA About Vivace:  MEDIA Vivace was most recently featured on NETFLIX' “Buying Beverly Hills” – which was one of NETFLIX Top 10 shows when it aired Vivace has also been featured on: Bravo's Million Dollar Listing NY Fox Business Fox Nation CourtTV Newsmax Media commentator on celebrity relationships and scandals such as Tom & Gisele, Brad and Angelina, Alec Baldwin, Joe Rogan, Simone Biles, Johnny Depp and others.

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. The focus shifts from political elites to young activists in the Hungarian "borderlands." In late June 1989, inspired by a speech from Otto von Habsburg, a young woman named Maria and a man named Ferenc hatch an audacious plan in the city of Debrecen: they will throw a party—the Pan-European Picnic—at the Iron Curtain itself. Maria, showing incredible initiative in a country with few phones, begins calling government officials and border guards to organize the event. The original vision for the picnic was "euphorically ignorant": the organizers imagined a thin fence where Hungarians and Austrians could pass sausages and beer to one another. In reality, the Iron Curtain was a "death zone" several kilometers wide, filled with watchtowers, dogs, and layers of fencing. However, the process of de-electrifying and dismantling the fence was moving faster than expected.

Around the world, including the United States, those in power fight desperately to cling to it, targeting a foundational element for legitimizing state power: the vote. Fascist efforts to maintain state authority have increasingly worked to undermine our capacity to assess information and distinguish between fact and false narratives.This week, as we continue our Africana Studies approach to reframing the U.S. semi-quincentennial year, we underscore the continuing need to deepen our literacy skills. Deep reading, reflection, and critical thinking are essential in the face of Social Structure assaults on thinking and mass movements informed by objective reality.Recovering the momentum of memory allows us to confront modern tactics that seek to diminish—or even eliminate—the vote as a tool of collective struggle. A post-literate era is particularly vulnerable to these attempts to undermine the very foundations of civic participation, informed engagement, and mass movement.The "Freedom Schools" call to educate ourselves is correct, but it must never stray from the enabling capacity at the core of what is under perpetual assault: deep literacy and reflection as the starting point for meaningful action.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Mentor Sessions Ep. 083: Bob Burnett explains the Bitcoin hash rate decline, BIP-110 chain split, nation state mining, and why banks will mine block space.Bitcoin's hash rate has been declining for nearly a year for the first time in 16 years — and Bob Burnett of Barefoot Mining explains why it keeps falling straight through the next halving. This is the mining reset almost nobody is pricing in.In this conversation you'll learn why the big publicly traded miners quietly shed Bitcoin and pivoted to AI and data centers, why Bob believes financial institutions and nation states (Iran included) are the real next entrants — not energy companies — and why they'll mine for block space control rather than the coins themselves. You'll see how the BIP-110 (RDTS) activation at block 961632 in mid-August could trigger a chain split, exactly what miners and plebs should do before that block, and why the fight is really about Core's process and the SegWit discount, not just spam.

I feel that I got an up close and personal invitation into the life of a female pioneer who because of her own accomplishments, worked alongside other fearless women who broke through barriers. So when your mother sets the bar super high, what do you do?  One follows suit apparently. And that's exactly what Andrea Ippolito has done. As I mention in my introduction, she has a very impressive background. Both mother and daughter are engineers and their lives/personalities are very much intertwined or "tangled" as Andrea says. In this episode you'll hear stories of Mary working with female astronauts redesigning the first female space suit so it's anatomically correct for a woman. That's something significant that never crossed my mind until I heard these stories. Andrea says that her mom is still an inspiration to her. "Mom raised us to stick up for ourselves" recalls Ippolito. Andrea says her mother was always there for her, she encouraged her to experience different things and situations. Mary says, "she taught me that we need more women innovators at the table designing the next generation of women's health products with their own lived experience whenever possible." About Andrea:Andrea Ippolito currently serves as the CEO and Founder of SimpliFed. Prior to joining Cornell, Andrea served as the Director of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Innovators Network within the VA Center for Innovation and served as a Presidential Innovation Fellow based out of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and General Services Administration. She was the Co-Founder of an innovative application that improves access to care called Smart Scheduling (acquired by athenahealth in 2016). She also previously served as the Co-Director of MIT Hacking Medicine, as an Innovation Specialist at the Brigham Innovation Hub and Product Innovation Manager at athenahealth. Ms. Ippolito completed her MS in Engineering & Management at MIT and engineering degrees at Cornell.   About SimpliFed:SimpliFed is changing the narrative on infant nutrition and democratizing access to choices parents can feel good about as they feed their babies.

Episode 397 of RevoluionZ takes a careful walk through classical Leninist strategy, presenting it as sympathetically as we can so that the real strengths and real weaknesses show themselves without caricature. The context is Marxism-Leninism as an ideology--Classical ideologies as a way to read social conditions, determine goals, choose strategy, and treat organization as a complex revolutionary weapon rather than a neutral container. We start with Lenin the strategist: theory guides him, but he fits his tactics to concrete conditions. That means as Lenin urges, learning to retreat when needed, combining legal and illegal work, and being willing to maneuver, compromise, and even participate in reactionary parliaments when it helps reach workers and expose the system's limits. We ask the uncomfortable question hidden inside his famous “zigzags” offense: who decides on what basis which compromises are smart and which ones corrode the project from the inside? From there we track how the vanguard party, democratic centralism, and “iron discipline” emerged, then moved through 1905, imperialism and World War I, and the 1917 crisis of peace, bread, land, and liberty. We look at what was advocated for after power is taken, consider the turn toward state capitalism as a transitional tactic, consider the tightening of centralized rule, the resolution of debates around worker democracy, and the export of the Bolshevik model through the Third International. All of this is considered using the actual words and choices of Lenin, Trotsky, and a few supporters and critics.If these questions feel relevant right now, that's the point. After resisting authoritarianism, what ideology and organizing methods can help us build something better than a return to business as usual? Last episode presented Classical Marxist theory. This episode presents Leninist strategy. Next episode will assess Bolshevik practice and then we will go back to strategy and finally to its roots in theory and finally consider a couple of alternatives. It is a long sequence and each episode is itself long but also accessible. Each is also offered a bit later as an article for further consideration. Then again choosing one's tools for a profound task is not a trivial task. These episodes are not tweets. I hope you will have time for them and thus for carefully thinking through the tasks we now face. Support the show

Six years ago, aged just 15, Sneha Revanur founded the AI advocacy nonprofit Encode AI — back when AI felt like a niche issue. Now the world's caught up with her, and she's ready to share everything she's learned about the politics of AI.Encode has grown from a grassroots youth organisation to spearheading an unlikely coalition of AI-exposed groups — family-first conservatives, grieving mothers, Hollywood actors, and AI safety researchers — with the strength to take on $125m-funded anti-regulation lobbyists.So far, Encode's strategy of taking many experimental swings has netted major victories (including California's frontier AI safety bill, SB-53, and New York's RAISE Act) as well as some disappointing setbacks.Going up against Big Tech hasn't been easy. In 2025, OpenAI subpoenaed Encode's general counsel at his home, with a sheriff's deputy arriving while he was having dinner with his wife. The fallout went viral, resulting in more attention than Encode had ever experienced — and Sneha was forced to decide how hard to push back against a company she'd need to negotiate with for years to come.In today's conversation, Zershaaneh Qureshi interrogates some of Encode's strategic moves.

When Dr. Mahrang Baloch was a teenager, she joined hundreds of families across Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan to search for her father, who had disappeared. Activists and rights groups say thousands of ethnic Baloch people have disappeared over the past two decades, alleging many were detained by security forces, tortured and killed as part of operations against a long-running separatist movement. After three years of being missing, Mahrang's family received a call telling them that her father's body had been found. This led Mahrang herself becoming a campaigner, leading protests and marches demanding information about missing persons in Balochistan. But last year she was arrested and she has now been sentenced to life in prison. Farhat Javed of BBC Urdu tells her story.  As the group stage of the World Cup comes to a close, Cape Verde, a tiny nation off the coast of West Africa, is celebrating a remarkable achievement.

Meanwhile, in South Korea, a much more seasoned squad packed with international talent have arrived home in defeat after losing to teams their critics feel they should have beaten.
