From hip-hop moguls and political candidates to talk radio and critically acclaimed films, society communicates that Black girls don't matter and their girlhood is not safe. Alarming statistics on physical and sexual abuse, for instance, reveal the harm Black girls face, yet Black girls' representation in media still heavily relies on our seeing their abuse as an important factor in others' development. In this provocative new book, Aria S. Halliday asserts that the growth of diverse representation in media since 2008 has coincided with an increase in the hatred of Black girls.Dr. Halliday uses her astute expertise as a scholar of popular culture, feminist theory, and Black girlhood to expose how we have been complicit in the depiction of Black girls as unwanted and disposable while letting Black girls fend for themselves. She indicts the way media mistreats celebrity Black girls like Malia and Sasha Obama as well as fictional Black girls in popular shows and films like A Wrinkle in Time. Our society's inability to see or understand Black girls as girls makes us culpable in their abuse. In Black Girls and How We Fail Them (UNC Press, 2025), a revelatory book for political analysts, hip-hop lovers, pop culture junkies, and parents, Dr. Halliday provides the critical perspective we need to create a world that supports, affirms, and loves Black girls. Our future depends on it. Our guest is: Dr. Aria S. Halliday, who is the Marie Rich Endowed Professor in Arts and Sciences and Associate Professor in the Department of Gender and Women's Studies and program in African American and Africana Studies at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Halliday specializes in cultural constructions of black girlhood and womanhood in material, visual, and digital cultures in the 20th and 21st centuries. She has won numerous awards and fellowships, and her articles and chapters have been published in The Black Scholar, Cultural Studies, Departures in Critical Qualitative Research, Girlhood Studies, Palimpsest, and SOULS, as well as in edited volumes. She is the author of Buy Black: How Black Women Transformed US Pop Culture, and Black Girls and How We Fail Them. She is co-founder of Digital Black Girls, a digital humanities archive celebrating Black girls' cultural production and innovation.

Report Podcast, Professor Giordano sits down with Steve McGuire of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni to expose the catastrophic collapse in academic preparedness across America's education system.

Alarming Urban Home Invasion: Venomous Brown Snake in Canberra — Jeremy Zakis — Zakis reported on a concerning home invasion in Canberra involving a highly venomous great eastern brown snake, one of Australia'sdeadliest species. The family discovered the dangerous reptile in their residential hallway; the snake subsequently relocated to the toilet bowl, effectively trapping itself and facilitating safe capture. Experts characterized this unusual urban behavior as potentially symptomatic of snakes seeking cooler refuge as ambient temperatures rise during Australian summer, suggesting climate-driven habitat displacement. 1916 GARDEN OF EDEN

The Change the Air Foundation recently launched the Safe Military Housing Survey, one of the most comprehensive efforts yet to collect data the Defense Department has never been able to track accurately. The nonprofit found that three quarters of respondents were dealing with mold and microbial growth, which is extremely hazardous to a person's health. For more, Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis spoke with Erica Thompson, a military spouse and the military families' liaison for the Change the Air Foundation, and Brandon Chappo, director of public policy at the foundation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Bruce Arthur, Toronto Star columnist In a high-stakes war games exercise held in Toronto, top military officials, health-care leaders, and government representatives gathered behind closed doors to game out a scenario few Canadians can ever imagine; war arriving on our doorstep. The exercise, called Canada Paratus, was a joint initiative led by the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, in collaboration with the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research, St. Michael's Hospital, and other military-focused organizations. This wasn't about battlefield tactics, but about what happens when Canada's fragile health-care system is pushed to the brink. From mass casualties to logistical chaos, the simulation revealed uncomfortable truths about just how unprepared we are and what it could mean if Canada were drawn into a global conflict where hospitals, not just troops, have to hold the line.

The surprising story of the Army's efforts to combat PTSD and traumatic brain injury The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken a tremendous toll on the mental health of our troops. In 2005, then-Senator Barack Obama took to the Senate floor to tell his colleagues that "many of our injured soldiers are returning from Iraq with traumatic brain injury," which doctors were calling the "signature wound" of the Iraq War. Alarming stories of veterans taking their own lives raised a host of vital questions: Why hadn't the military been better prepared to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Why were troops being denied care and sent back to Iraq? Why weren't the Army and the VA doing more to address these issues? Drawing on previously unreleased documents and oral histories, David Kieran tells the broad and nuanced story of the Army's efforts to understand and address these issues, challenging the popular media view that the Iraq War was mismanaged by a callous military unwilling to address the human toll of the wars. The story of mental health during this war is the story of how different groups--soldiers, veterans and their families, anti-war politicians, researchers and clinicians, and military leaders--approached these issues from different perspectives and with different agendas. It is the story of how the advancement of medical knowledge moves at a different pace than the needs of an Army at war, and it is the story of how medical conditions intersect with larger political questions about militarism and foreign policy. Signature Wounds: The Untold Story of the Military's Mental Health Crisis (NYU Press, 2019) shows how PTSD, TBI, and suicide became the signature wounds of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, how they prompted change within the Army itself, and how mental health became a factor in the debates about the impact of these conflicts on US culture.

Flood Data Shows Alarming Trends, Surpassing Previous Modeling Estimates. Professor Beth Tellman (University of Arizona Geography Department; Cloud to Street) highlights that her compiled flood data is useful for financial sectors, such as insurance and municipal bonds. The data shows Asia dominates observations, accounting for 398 of 913 events, including 85 in India and 52 in China. Furthermore, climate change projections for 2030 show Asia, among 57 countries globally, is expected to see significantly increased flood exposure. Tellman asserts her data is more alarming than previous modeling because it systematically captures impactful human events that models often exclude, such as dam breaks (13 events affecting over 13 million people). Although projections to 2100 are highly uncertain, the 2030 predictions are considered a "pretty good bet." This fresh, observed data, which runs contrary to good planning, is expected to be incorporated into the next IPCC report. 1894 PORTLAND

Right before morning rush hour in midtown Manhattan on December 4th, 2024, UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed while on his way into an investors meeting. According to police, the suspected gunman was, “lying in wait for several minutes,” and then fled the scene following the attack. A nationwide manhunt ensued, and days later, Luigi Mangione was arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald's and charged with Thompon's killing. Since he was accused of gunning down the healthcare CEO in broad daylight, Mangione has become a surprising cultural phenomenon. While most find the crimes Mangione has been accused of horrific, he has been branded as a modern-day Robin Hood by some who see the shooting as a stand against a corrupt and broken health care system. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. John H. Richardson, author of ‘Luigi: The Making and the Meaning,' joins “Forbes True Crime” to discussSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Fed cuts rates, and mortgage rates go up. Then they do it again, and rates…go back up. How does this keep happening? Has the Fed lost complete control over mortgage rates?  The Fed has now cut rates twice in 2025, and we're hovering around the same (if not slightly higher) mortgage rates as before the first cut. After last week's rate cut announcement, investors were surprised to see that mortgages—once again—got even more expensive. But it's not because of what the Fed did—it was because of what they said, potentially foreshadowing a slower, longer path back to 5% mortgage rates.  Dave is on to explain why mortgage rates moved in the opposite direction, why we could be stuck with higher mortgage rates for longer, and the two things that need to happen for mortgage rates to break back into the 5% range. Plus, he'll share three realistic scenarios that could cause rates to move in different directions and what could trigger each.  The Fed meeting announcement explained and why mortgage rates went up  The real reason why we're not seeing mortgage rates fall below 6%  Alarming corporate layoffs and whether this is a warning sign for the entire economy Some good/bad news about inflation and the cities that are faring the worst  Three likely mortgage rate scenarios that could send rates in different directions, without the Fed making moves  And So Much More!

President Trump's militarized raids in Chicago just took another horrific turn when agents disrupted a children's Halloween parade, triggering mayhem. Agents deployed tear gas on locals and tackled several of them, including U.S. citizens. One resident screamed: “You're scaring our children to death.” In response, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker issued an unnerving warning: Children are getting “terrorized” and “traumatized.” Pritzker also sent a strong message to the country: Your community could be next. And he challenged top Trump officials to suspend their raids just for Halloween weekend, forcing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to give a terrible answer. We talked to Dave Karpf, a professor of media and public affairs who has a good piece for The New Republic about the state of Democratic communications. We discuss how this saga shows the need to supercharge attention to these riveting confrontations, how that's the ticket for reaching low-engagement voters, and how Democrats should do politics and information warfare amid our slide into authoritarianism.

Donald Trump seems to be crashing out, and fast. After a string of unhinged remarks during a speech to the troops and a bizarre moment where he bragged (again) about passing a dementia test, the question practically asks itself: is Donald Trump okay? What's definitely not okay is the economy. SNAP benefits are set to expire this week, Americans are struggling to afford groceries, healthcare, and basic necessities, and somehow, Trump's still talking about himself and his absurdly unnecessary ballroom. This morning, Don is joined by friend of the show Reecie Colbert to break down Trump's decline, his delusions, and the very real pain everyday Americans are feeling while he plays emperor.

Europe Responds to Russian Harassment Without US Lead Guest: Mary Kissel Mary Kissel analyzes the European emergency summit in Copenhagen, convened due to alarming mysterious drone activity over European airports, likely instigated by Russia. This harassment, which includes potential risks like hitting a passenger jet, aims to create confusion and test the resolve of the continent. The outcome, focusing on a "drone wall," suggests that the EU is starting to take more responsibility for its own defense, a long-term goal of US presidents. Kissel notes that the US absence from the prominent conversation does not signal the end of NATO. She also highlights that politicians like Starmer and Meloni are moving toward stronger defense measures, realizing that their voting bases are unhappy with current economic and security outcomes 1884 BRUSSELS
