The Interior Department is preparing to reject a controversial mining road in the remote Alaskan wilderness – a decision that highlights how the administration is trying to balance its clean energy and conservation goals while not harming tribal communities. POLITICO contributor Adam Federman breaks down why the administration might reject the project and the stakes for the energy sector. Plus, the Biden administration is moving to reimpose oil sanctions on Venezuela.

Newly obtained documents reveal that the U.S. government was monitoring environmental activists opposed to the Keystone XL pipeline far earlier than previously known. Young, Native activists were among the government's first targets. The FBI file describes Native American groups as a potentially dangerous threat and likens them to “environmental extremists” whose actions could lead to violence. The records also reveal for the first time that the State Department was involved in monitoring activists, beginning in late 2013. From the Wobblies to the Black Panthers, this is an all too familiar pattern of the federal government surveilling and spying on anyone that deviates too much from business as usual. In the latest episode, Scott talks with journalist Adam Federman (@adamfederman) about his latest article exposing the U.S. government's spying on the anti-pipeline movement much earlier than thought.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with writer Tim Shorrock to discuss the legacy of Henry Kissinger, who died last night. Then, she speaks with Adam Federman, reporting fellow at Type Investigations, to discuss his recent piece in In These Times entitled "The New Cold War in the Arctic." First, Emma runs through updates on the newest recipient of the kiss of death, Israel-Hamas prisoner swaps, US-Israel aid, the UAW's ongoing unionization drive, Elon's ongoing meltdown, COP28, the Senate vs. Supreme Court corruption, another Indian assassination attempt, and MSNBC's cancellation of Mehdi Hasan's show, before touching on the catharsis that is the death of Henry Kissinger. Tim Shorrock then gives his initial reflections on Kissinger's passing and the myriad lies he told for the ends of US primacy. Shorrock and Emma trace Kissinger's bloody footprints from Vietnam and East Timor to Argentina as they assess his unflinching ideology of American exceptionalism and hegemony and the uncompromising embrace of his myriad war crimes and genocides by the US political class. After assessing some of the major responses to Kissinger's passing, as well as his central role in shaping the revolving door of US politics, they wrap up with a reflection on the continuation of his legacy in Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Adam Federman then brings us to Greenland as he walks through the multiple layers of US state interest in the land, with a particular focus on military strategy and resource extraction. First, he and Emma look to the post-WW2 settling of myriad US military bases (and the related displacement of indigenous communities) on the island, and the continued emphasis on its geopolitical location amid growing Russia-NATO tensions, before wrapping up with the growing potential for mineral and environmental extraction in a surprisingly attractive (white, European) country. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they watch Kristie Noam take on the hard job of discussing history for the Fox News audience, before taking their own time to reflect on the bloody legacy of Henry Kissinger and his mantle in US politics. Fransisco from Pomona discusses changing tides around shoplifting, and the MR Crew does a deep dive into Elon Musk's recent interview about everything from Twitter's ongoing advertiser exodus amid growing antisemitism on the platform to his “totally unrelated” trip to Israel. Lucas from Montana discusses a new take on the Big Lie, plus, your calls and IMs!

Lots of 'Cop City' coverage today. New details coming out about the violent & deadly clash that killed an Atlanta forest defender, plus Dekalb County's shutting down nearby Entrenchment Creek Park, citing "traps." Re-sharing yesterday's interview with environmental journalist Adam Federman to discuss the curious FBI hyper-scrutiny of environmental advocacy orgs even LOOSELY connected (in any way) to "Cop City" protests - eve if it's just an Twitter follow. A little legislative wrap-up and meet my new hero - Rep. Gerry Connolly from Boston - giving us all the history lesson we so desperately needed. Kudos, chap! PS, where is "Lost Mountain?"
First, something fun: the folks at Wander North Georgia have their "March madness" bracket out - sixteen of the best state parks in North Georgia to visit. I cast my votes - and some were tough calls to make - so feel free to do the same. More importantly, try to visit as many of them as possible! We learned today that Governor Brian Kemp - now in his second and final term as governor and free of repercussion - went ahead and blithely signed SB 140, making gender-affirming care illegal for minors in the state of Georgia. Facts, data, science, medical consensus be damned with this batch of bigotry now emboldened in the general assembly and governor's mansion. Meanwhile, I'm joined today by reporter Adam Federman with Type Investigations, who wrote "How the FBI Used 'Cop City' Protests to Snoop on Activists in Chicago." Shades of J. Edgar Hoover's regime during the height of the civil rights movement, no? Lastly, North Carolina's getting. Medicaid expansion while we might get more rural hospitals so our Lt. Governor's dad can enrich himself on a land sale. The "good ol' boy network" is alive and well. Cue Senator Randy "Cataula ain't Buckhead" Robertson who smears a Council on American Islamic Relations representative - in person - by insinuating her and her organization has ties to Hamas. Cringe.
Two private companies recently backed out of drilling leases in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, leaving the state of Alaska as the only remaining lease holder in the protected wilderness area. Contributing reporter Adam Federman explains why Alaska is the sole entity still holding rights to drilling acreage and how the Biden administration has discouraged future drilling in ANWR.

In this conversation, we talk to Type Investigations reporting fellow Adam Federman about his newest article on permafrost thaw in Alaska, and his reporting on government policy on oil and gas development on public lands. Federman discusses how he started reporting on the government's role in fossil fuel development, the importance of emphasizing the human impacts of climate change, and the difficulty of communicating complex science. Federman's story, “The Big Thaw,” was published in partnership with Sierra Magazine.

President Biden's push for an electric future requires a dramatic surge in demand for minerals like copper and zinc. But in order to get these minerals within our borders, the administration may need to open protected lands for mining, and that means building a road to a remote site in Alaska that's near the northernmost point of the mountain range that stretches to the American Rockies. Today, Adam Federman reports on a road project right in the middle of President Biden's environmental dilemma. Do you listen to a POLITICO podcast? Can't miss an episode of POLITICO Energy?

The Trump administration tucked a gift into the 2017 tax bill long sought by oil companies: a legal mandate for the federal government to allow oil production in part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. But now, President Biden is stepping in, and POLITICO contributor Adam Federman reports that the administration is halting oil exploration at ANWR to take another look at the environmental risks.

“I just think food is so important to us, it is the most important thing we do, so why not enjoy it”...Rick SteinWelcome to Episode 21:This is just me, the real me, the girl that decides to make it happen regardless of the original plan.A garden walk and a podcast recorded in the chicken pen. A little cook up of the stinging nettle I foraged in the garden was the outcome of this spontaneous episode on the philosophy and heritage of La Cucina Povera. It goes without saying that 2020 has been an interesting social experiment and I have been contemplating many things that relate to less waste and more good living on my own terms.After listening to the book on Patience Gray about her evocative life by Adam Federman this week, she died early 2005 and published many books and essays on food and life in particular the classic 'Honey From a Weed' on her journey of living in the wilds of the Mediterranean lands and sea. I have been musing over many things related this past few months that I ponder in this episode.This is an offering of sorts, a whimsical share and a possible rant on what it means to be a modern woman and what it means to juggle the anxieties of the modern trappings this world offers. Certainly I am a privileged woman who can make her own decisions about the give and the take on an ordinary Wednesday. If you want the real truth it is most of all the ordinary kind of magic that interests me the most. The kind of alchemy that happens in the kitchen and in the garden, and when you spontaneously decide to make a plate of pasta for lunch from something on hand and within reach. An improvisation of sorts. This is my favourite kind of day, a privilege yes, and a humble thrill to even ramble and share this musing on a detail of Italian culture and how I feel inspired by it daily.mj xoEnjoy, See You Next time with Florence and Lucca, Italy.........© 2021 A Writer In Italy - travel, writing, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston, © 2021Please find all Show Notes and details mentioned at: www.michellejohnston.lifeInstagram: @awriterinitaly and @theyellowhouse__About A Writer in Italy Podcast:Five years ago Michelle Johnston traveled to Italy to create space for herself and her writing.

Jimmy Carter created the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in 1980, and it’s been a contentious subject virtually ever since. A bonanza of biodiversity, it also potentially sits atop one of America’s last untapped oil reserves. In this episode, Andrew talks to Adam Federman, a journalist covering the recent push by the Trump administration to lease oil and gas rights in the refuge. Adam is a reporting fellow with Type Investigations, where he’s spent the last few years covering energy, public land, and the Trump administration’s environmental policies. His recent piece “How Science got Trampled in the Rush to Drill in the Arctic” caught our eye when it ran in Politico in July of 2019. We immediately reached out to Adam for a chat about this developing issue as well as a larger conversation about public land policy in the United States.

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Adam Federman to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss his book FASTING AND FEASTING.
On this week's episode of Eat Your Words, host Cathy Erway is joined by writer Adam Federman, author of Fasting and Feasting: The Life of Visionary Food Writer Patience Gray. Federman tells the remarkable―and until now untold―life story of Patience Gray, author of the celebrated cookbook Honey from a Weed. Gray lived in a remote area of Puglia in southernmost Italy. She lived without electricity, modern plumbing, or a telephone, grew much of her own food, and gathered and ate wild plants alongside her neighbors in this economically impoverished region. Her influence, particularly among chefs and other food writers, has had a lasting and profound effect on the way we view and celebrate good food and regional cuisines. Gray’s prescience was unrivaled: She wrote about what today we would call the Slow Food movement―from foraging to eating locally―long before it became part of the cultural mainstream. Eat Your Words is powered by Simplecast
"Poverty rather than wealth gives the good things of life their true significance. Home-made bread rubbed with garlic and sprinkled with olive oil, shared - with a flask of wine - between working people, can be more convivial than any feast." So writes Patience Gray in the introduction to her 1986 award winning book 'Honey From A Weed: Fasting & Feasting in Tuscany, Catalonia, The Cyclades and Apulia'. To some, Patience's name evokes a masterpiece, one of the most evocative and imaginative food books written in modern times. To others, her name will mean very little; Patience Gray, by her own admission, kept a low profile, living and writing for most of her working life among rural people in Italy, Greece and Catalonia. Patience, who died in 2005, would have been 100 in 2017. So Sheila Dillon looks back on Patience Gray's life through food with the help of Adam Federman, author of a new biography 'Fasting and Feasting: The Life of Visionary Food Writer Patience Gray' and food writers Jojo Tulloh and Louise Gray. They hear from the Food Programme archives. From two visits to Patience's home in Puglia recorded by Derek Cooper and Simon Parkes. Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced in Bristol by Clare Salisbury.
