Responsibly Different™
From Shame to Solutions: How Honest Climate Conversations Drive Progress

Responsibly Different™

Play Episode Listen Later May 8, 2025 46:35 Transcription Available


What happens when our desire for climate accountability transforms into cancel culture? In this thought-provoking conversation, author of the book Cancel Culture in Climate, Jenny Morgan breaks down how our collective approach to sustainability communication often backfires, creating fear rather than progress.Jenny explains what drove her to write "Cancel Culture and Climate" – seeing organizations retreat from public climate commitments out of fear, even as climate impacts intensify around us. She draws a crucial distinction between cancel culture (which permanently labels entities as "bad") and true accountability (which provides clear pathways for improvement).Through compelling examples like the contrasting approaches of Allbirds and Crocs, she demonstrates how transparency about both achievements and challenges creates space for collective advancement. Rather than celebrating the downfall of competitors, Allbirds showed how industry-wide collaboration benefits everyone – a refreshing alternative to the "schadenfreude" that often dominates sustainability conversations.For businesses struggling with sustainability goals, Jenny offers practical frameworks for honest communication. Instead of burying setbacks in dense reports or glossing over them with vague marketing language, she recommends directly addressing why certain targets weren't met and what's needed to overcome obstacles. This transparency invites stakeholders to contribute solutions rather than simply criticize failures.Most importantly, Jenny reminds us that behind every business decision are human beings with complex motivations. Her "motivational conversation" approach encourages exploring with curiosity, actively listening, and discovering shared values – whether communicating with family members, colleagues, or competing businesses. "If we're just focused on winning the argument," she cautions, "we will lose the argument ultimately."Discover how replacing perfectionism with progress and judgment with curiosity might be our best path forward in addressing climate challenges.

Ben Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, joins to discuss the critical Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Then, Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, examines the direction and leadership of the Democratic Party. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the shuttering of USAID, Russia-Ukraine ceasefire negotiations, Israel's revamped assault on Gaza, the DOJ's refusal to answer for its illegal deportations, Trump's killing of FTC operations, the gutting of the SSA, the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, Trump's attempt to re-segregate, the Fed not to cut rates, the release of the JFK Files, GOP Sen. Eichorn's confirmation of pedocon theory, and HHS's gutting of HIV prevention, also highlighting Schumer's ongoing shame tour and the ongoing backlash the GOP's facing at their town halls. Ben Wikler then joins, diving right into the story of Wisconsin politics during the 2010s – and what it can foretell about this moment for our country – with a GOP trifecta coming into 2011 and using a supposed budget crisis to legitimize a complete crippling of the opposition as well as the progressive and worker movements, unleashing extensively gerrymandered maps, engaging in blatantly discriminatory voter suppression, and explicitly targeting language around progressive issues (e.g. banning the term “climate change”). After diving deep into the particular role the Conservative majority on the State Supreme Court played in bolstering the unparalleled executive power of Governor Scott Walker, and how a revamped focus on the Court helped begin the Democrats' slow crawl back into control, Wikler zeroes in on the ongoing State Supreme Court race between Brad Schimel – dedicated MAGA-Musker – and Susan Crawford, exploring the insane multi-million dollar investment into Schimel by Elon Musk, including blatantly illegal propaganda misrepresenting both his own organization and the candidates, wrapping up by emphasizing the importance of tying the entire conservative movement to the MAGA/Musk agenda they support, and exploring what those of us on the outside can do to help. Ezra Levin then joins, first running through the inception of Indivisible in the wake of the 2016 elections to combat the heinous agenda of Donald Trump and address the vacuum in Democratic leadership, before diving deep into the culmination of this effort, with last week's failure by Democratic Leadership in the Senate to stand up against the Trump/Musk budget seeing an unprecedented level of backlash, with their caucus, House Leadership, and the mainstream media all leveling blunt questions of Chuck Schumer. Levin, Sam, and Emma parse through a few of Schumer's recent TV appearances, as they dissect his utter strategic failures in using leverage in their fight with the GOP or in working with fellow Democrats, before wrapping up by tackling the future of this fight as Democrats look to find other pathways for messaging, and what those of us at home can do to help Indivisible's fight. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Chuck Schumer get slammed by Chris Hayes in the wake of his humiliating capitulation to Trump and the GOP, listen to Elon Musk's plea to empathize with the automotive class, and unpack Tim Pool's attempt to revamp his relevancy on the coattails of Sam's Jubilee video. Tonya from Washington has some film comparisons for the modern-day conservative movement, and another caller has a thought experiment, plus, your calls and IMs!

The latest Remarkable Retail podcast delivers a compelling mix of current market news and expert analysis from returning guest Jason "Retail Geek" Goldberg, Chief Commerce Strategy Officer at Publicis.Hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis kick off with the week's headlines, spotlighting the chaos caused by shifting tariff policies. They note that consumer confidence has plummeted amid economic uncertainty, creating leadership challenges across the retail landscape. Steve reflects that while the COVID crisis taught resilience, today's volatility requires leaders to embrace agility as "the New Black" while avoiding recklessness.The retail news segment highlights several struggling players, most notably Kohl's with its disastrous twelfth consecutive quarter of sales decline. The hosts detail how new CEO Ashley Buchanan is pivoting back to private labels after previous leadership had emphasized national brands, while also apparently abandoning the once-touted Amazon returns program. Steve recounts visiting Kohl's stores filled with heavily discounted merchandise, describing them as "a train wreck" requiring both strategic and executional overhauls.The hosts continue with Ulta Beauty posting modest growth, signaling a slowdown in a category that had performed exceptionally well post-pandemic. Dick's Sporting Goods delivered strong quarterly results but projected significantly slower future growth, reflecting a broader trend of caution across retail.In what the hosts call the "wobbly unicorn corner," they examine former high-flyers facing existential challenges. Allbirds has lost nearly all its market value since IPO, with declining revenue despite shifting from direct-to-consumer to wholesale. Meanwhile, Stitch Fix shows modest signs of recovery under CEO Matt Baer's strategy of focusing on core customers rather than casting too wide a net.When Jason Goldberg joins the conversation, he identifies three dominant client concerns: retail media networks (which he views skeptically), artificial intelligence (both transformative and overhyped), and economic uncertainty creating both challenges and opportunities.Goldberg then provides illuminating analysis of retail market data, revealing that a small handful of giants—primarily Walmart, Amazon, Costco, and Chinese newcomers like Temu and  Shein—capture the vast majority of all growth. While e-commerce growth has slowed from pandemic highs, it still significantly outpaces brick-and-mortar retail.Most significantly, Goldberg explains retail's "bifurcation" between digital winners and losers, and between two successful business models: massive "everything stores" and highly curated specialty retailers. The traditional wholesale model caught in between—particularly department stores—is struggling regardless of execution quality or market position.The episode ends with a teaser for part two, promising Goldberg's insights on the future of wholesale, Amazon's grocery ambitions, social commerce, and TikTok Shops—compelling reasons for listeners to return for the continuation of this insightful conversation.Links:https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevendennis/2017/12/04/retail-reality-its-death-in-the-middle/ About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

Send me a messageIn this episode of Climate Confident, I sit down with Jenny Morgan, author of Cancel Culture in Climate, to explore how public shaming and polarisation are holding back real progress on climate solutions.We already have the tools and technologies needed to reduce emissions, yet fear of criticism—whether from activists, media, or the public—often paralyses businesses and leaders. Jenny explains how cancel culture leads to three major pitfalls:Greenwashing – Overstating sustainability efforts to avoid backlash.Greenhushing – Staying silent about genuine climate initiatives to escape scrutiny.Green recanting – Companies reversing climate commitments due to heightened pressure.Rather than tearing down imperfect efforts, Jenny advocates for empathetic accountability—holding organisations to account while keeping the door open for progress. We discuss how companies like Patagonia and Allbirds have embraced transparency over perfection, and how social media can be both a force for good and a major obstacle to climate communication.Key takeaways:✔ Why fear of being “called out” prevents meaningful climate action.✔ How businesses can regain trust after sustainability missteps.✔ Practical strategies to foster productive climate conversations.Tune in to rethink how we approach climate accountability—and why working with people is more effective than working against them.

Tucker Carlson (political commentator and founder, Tucker Carlson Network) joins Chris Cuomo for a deep-dive conversation on Donald Trump, the media, and the future of America. They debate U.S. foreign policy, the war in Ukraine, and whether government secrecy keeps the public from knowing the truth. Carlson shares his views on trans rights as a political issue, why he believes elites manipulate public perception, and how institutions have lost the trust of the American people.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder
2447 - Trump's Marathon Of Lies & Challenging Dem Leadership w/ Adam Green, Saikat Chakrabarti

The Majority Report with Sam Seder

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), to recap Trump's joint address to Congress from last night. Then, they're joined by Saikat Chakrabarti, candidate for Congress in California's 11th district, to give some updates on his campaign. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress, Trump's attempted USAID shutdown, US aid to Ukraine, Blackrock's new move on Panama Canal, Trump's IRS cutdown, the firesale of federal properties, Trump v. judges, and OPM's mismanagement, before expanding on Democrats' varying protest tactics during Trump's speech last night, with a highlight on Rep. Al Green's message to get your hands off Medicaid. Adam Green then joins, jumping right into the complete fear of Democratic leadership to simply act, in any substantive manner, to stop or obstruct the Trump Administration, tackling leadership's seeming inability to understand the threat his regime poses to the future of democratic governance in the US, and unpacking what the productive work of Democratic representatives has looked like. After diving deep into Trump's insane breadth of Social Security lies that he fit into his joint session last night, and the direct contrasts we see between this ongoing fight and those under Bush (in 2005) and Obama (in 2013), Green also explores the strong disciplining force of Elon's legitimate threat to primary any Republican that goes against Trump, something very much reflected in Trump's own treatment of US allies. Next, Adam, Sam, and Emma parse through the ideal strategies moving forward, including emphasizing the GOP's departure from their voters' desires, the complete overstepping – both legally and financially – of Elon Musk, and the incredible devastation Trump's funding freeze and mass firings have had on our federal workers, wrapping up the interview by discussing a theoretical “progressive” version of the Laken Riley Act. Saikat Chakrabarti then walks Sam and Emma through the trajectory of his career in Democratic politics, beginning with Bernie in 2016 and helping to run AOC's campaign amid a push for a growing progressive movement, as he explores the mainstream Democratic Party's ongoing failure over the last decade to offer any transformative vision amid a rocketing cost of living, rampant inequality, and a growing fascist movement. After expanding on the parallels we see with the rise of fascism amid the inequality and crises of the 1930s, Chakrabarti looks to the modern day as he unpacks an ongoing push to expand the fight to unseat status-quo-oriented Democratic Leadership like Nancy Pelosi, and how we can support that effort! And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts shove the subtlety to the side as they celebrate their successful coup, reflect on Dan Bongino and Pete Hegseth's previous musings on the “leftist” investment firm Blackrock now that they're teaming up to take over the Panama Canal, and Josh in San Diego asks how to address the Democratic inclination to punch left. Tim Walz shows Democratic leadership how to set an agenda (and a narrative), Leftist Big Pharma Plus unpacks Trump's changes to the US healthcare apparatus and student debt, and Fox News solves the egg crisis (buy chickens, raise them at home). David from Spain on the recent evolution of fascism in the US and Spain, Ricky from San Diego on Chinese labor relations, and Mike from Colorado on messaging to mainstream Dems. The MR Crew also parses through Elisa Slotkin's telling Democratic response to Trump, lifting up noted proponents of democracy and liberalism, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, plus, your calls and IMs!

Chris Cuomo breaks down how Medicaid has become the battleground for political and economic fights in America, exposing the hypocrisy of conservative states that rely on federal funding while opposing government spending. He explores how Medicaid expansion has reshaped red and blue states, the real impact of cutting healthcare for the poor, and whether Trump will go along with Republican efforts to gut the program. With millions of Americans—including pregnant women, children, and people with disabilities—depending on Medicaid, Cuomo warns that slashing it for tax cuts will have serious consequences and explains why this issue could become a major political trap for Trump in 2025.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with writer Luke Savage, writer based in Toronto, author of The Dead Center: Reflections On Liberalism And Democracy After the End Of History, to discuss the current state of Canadian politics. Then, she speaks with Jeff Stein, White House economics reporter at The Washington Post, to discuss his recent multi-part series on economic sanctions for the Post entitled "The Money War." First, Emma runs through updates on the GOP's continuing dysfunction over their spending bill, Trump's prosecution in Georgia, the Wall Street Journal's major report on Biden staffers' extensive work to downplay and hide the state of Biden's mental decline since 2019, the nomination of Pete Hegseth, Amazon teamsters' strike, South Carolina's attack on Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, Israeli's continuing offensives in Lebanon and Gaza, the repatriation of the final inmates in Guantanamo Bay, and the confirmed appearance Bird Flu in the US, before diving a little deeper into “President Musk's” public pressure campaign to get GOP Congresspeople in line with his spending plan. Luke Savage then joins, diving right into the dwindling support for Trudeau's administration in the wake of a weak, nationalist-oriented response to Trump's threat of tariffs against Canada, unpacking the growing dissent from within his coalition before Savage and Emma briefly contrast his response to Trump's threats with that from the US' other neighbor-under-threat in Mexico's President Sheinbaum. Stepping back, Luke examines the rise and fall of Trudeau as the leader of the Liberal Party in Canada, coming to power by leading a major win in 2015 and becoming a hyper-public anti-Trump resistance figure in the process, only for growing economic issues coming out of the COVID-19 Pandemic alongside a poor choice by Trudeau to call for snap elections in 2021 putting the Liberal Party in an insecure situation and forcing a deal with the NDP social democrats. Moving forward in the story, Savage walks Emma through the lingering struggles Liberals have faced in the wake of this deal, with their (and Trudeau's, in particular) refusal to acknowledge the ongoing cost of living crisis and the failures of their economic agenda significantly dragging down NDP's public standing to the point of pulling out of the deal this past September, issues capitalized on by a Conservative Party that is, at the bare minimum, willing to recognize the issues facing the Canadian electorate. After expanding on the role of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, his success in hiding his unpopular faux-populist crypto-libertarianism behind direct, issues-based communication, and the pretty clear parallels with Biden and Democrats' recent failures in the 2024 election, Savage wraps up by tackling Canada's dearth of an actual system to remove someone like Trudeau from power, and how this situation could (and is likely to) develop. Jeff Stein then joins, jumping right into his extensive research at the Washington Post into the explosion of the role of sanctions in US foreign policy, and the vast material impact they have on local populations, first outlining how this policy proliferated in the wake of the serious backlash to US military intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan – with Joe Biden taking Trump's expansion of the sanction regime to an entirely new level after Russia's invasion of Ukraine – and how it aligns with the increasing power of the executive branch. Stepping back, Stein walks Emma through the role sanctions play in avoiding both military AND diplomatic intervention on the global stage, despite minimal evidence of their efficacy, and the growing worry inside of government of their long-term impacts with limited short-term benefits, before they wrap up with the myriad material issues that have arisen from the expansion of the US sanction regime, with devastating effects on the abused and exploited populations that these sanctions are ostensibly issued in response to, alongside the (less devastating) unforeseen financial costs to US taxpayers. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder as they do a deep dive into the recent Wall Street Journal report tracing Biden's staffers' extensive efforts – beginning in 2019 – to hide and disguise Biden's mental decline from the public, before touching on the continuing cult of senility around Biden. A Jersey caller unpacks breaking through the media's commitment to Democratic leadership, Alex from Oakland unpacks Biden's plan to encourage AI data centers on federal land, and the MR Crew explores the NYPD's ongoing crackdown on Amazon teamsters' labor action.

  It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with Daniel Nichanian, editor-in-chief of Bolts Magazine, to discuss the state of the rest of the downballot races after Tuesday's results. Then, she speaks with Usamah Andrabi, communications director & spokesperson for Justice Democrats, to discuss what's next for Democrats heading into 2025. First, Emma runs through updates on Harris' election concession, the DNC blame game, exit polling, abortion's performance, the lingering House fight, Netanyahu's Trump bootlicking, the Trump Administration, and major wildfires in California, before watching Astead Herndon's astute reflections on Dems' failure to run on anything but the status-quo and abortion. Daniel Nichanian then joins, diving right into the overwhelming rejection of Harris, particularly as an extension of a deeply unpopular Biden Administration, and the major defeats seen by Dem Senate candidates, before walking through the stark contrast between that electoral apathy and the genuine success of progressive referendum and state-level progressive campaigns, briefly touching on the lingering (though unlikely) possibility of Democrats' winning a slim majority in the House. After expanding on the stratification of voting on the Presidency versus down-ballot, Daniel and Emma tackle the major state legislature losses handed to Democrats in Michigan, and Minnesota, and why the future of Congressional campaign fights may lie in the northeast. Usamah Andrabi and Emma then parse through the ongoing failure of Democrats' evident disassociation from the working-class identity that had carried their coalition for decades, refusing to run campaigns that aren't geared around unifying a mythical centrist coalition (that also includes Republicans and Progressives) driven by celebrities and billionaires and grounded in diet-right-wing politics, and emphasizing abstract economic conditions over the material, lived reality with which everyday Americans struggle. They also touch on the major drag of Harris' commitment to the overwhelmingly unpopular status quo under Biden, and unpack the future of a fight for a Democratic party that actually fights for and with the working class. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack their election reflections, tackle how Biden set up Harris to fail, and highlight some major distinctions between Obama's winning campaign and Dems' last few major failures.

Sam is live again from the Mass Torts Conference in Las Vegas! First, he runs through updates on Hurricane Milton's devastating impact in Florida and the crisis capitalism that has followed, presidential polling, Israeli war crimes in Lebanon and Gaza, the US economy, Russian advances in Ukraine, and even more corruption out of the Eric Adams Administration, before he and Emma parse through Harris' policy announcements on hurricane response (particularly against predatory price gouging) and the care economy. Then, Sam is joined by two attorneys from Levin Papantonio law firm, first talking with Jeff Gaddy about his ongoing mass tort case against major social media companies including Meta, Snap, Google, and ByteDance (TikTok), and their platforms' exploitation of minors via overwhelming exposure to addictive and harmful content. Gaddy walks through these corporations' responsibility for the design and development of their platforms, touching on the protections from liability for true third-party content that Section 230 offers and the exceptions to these protections when it comes to these corporations' production of their own (even if derivative) content and to how said design and development curates and highlights the content users engage with. After running through various other ongoing cases against these companies, Jeff and Sam unpack the developing role of legislative challenges to these practices and the importance of civil law in pushing these issues into the open, wrapping up the interview by briefly touching on the major revelations in discovery and what the “damages” of this exploitation look like. Cameron Stephenson is the next attorney to join, diving into the recent proliferation of GLP-1RA drugs, from the FDA's approval of Ozempic as a diabetes medication in 2017, through the now sixth variation between Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly that focuses more on medical (or even cosmetic) weight loss, and the pharmaceutical industry's complete failure to properly warn some millions and millions of patients about serious risks and side effects associated with the drug class – namely gastroparesis. After expanding on the particular role off-label marketing of cosmetic uses played in contributing to the pervasion of GLP-1RAs – despite the relatively minor financial penalties associated with it – Stephenson wraps up the interview by unpacking the impact of this pharmaceutical malpractice, and the importance of civil law in pushing for genuine change. Sam and Emma also cover Kari Lake and Ruben Gallego's clash over the exploitations of crisis capitalism, Harris' complete failure to highlight any of the popular elements of her platform, and the inspiration Donald Trump is finding in the extreme inequality of the Gilded Age. Plus, Matt Walsh (and, more importantly, Asher Edelman) share their takes on the billionaire's role in society.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Sharon Lerner, writer covering health and the environment for ProPublica, to discuss her recent piece entitled “EPA Scientists Said They Were Pressured to Downplay Harms From Chemicals. A Watchdog Found They Were Retaliated Against.” Then, they speak with Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent at Mother Jones, author of Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It, to discuss the recent attempts by Republican legislatures and voting commissions to change rules ahead of the 2024 election. First, Sam runs through updates on Israel's offensive on Lebanon, ProPublica's report on Blinken's coverup of Israeli war crimes in front of Congress, Harris' polling, Senate races, the execution of Marcellus Williams, a Haitian non-profit's case against Trump and Vance, Florida's education bans, corruption in Eric Adams' administration, the InfoWars auction, and the FBI report on dropping violent crime everywhere except anti-LGBTQ hate, before parsing a little deeper through Secretary of State Antony Blinken's active coverup in front of Congress, and John Kirby's poor attempt to address it. Sharon Lerner then joins, first stepping back to reassess her year-long coverage, beginning in 2022, of the system of management intimidation and pressure set up by the Trump Administration EPA's “New Chemicals” department, pushing scientists tasked with assessing the impact of new chemicals on human health and the environment to overlook issues, avoid deeper investigation, and even remove notes on them from any official reports, all serving to expedite corporations' ability to get these chemicals to market regardless of safety concerns. Lerner and Sam then look to the structure of the EPA as a whole, tracing how this active pressure trickled down from executives to lawmakers to management before looking to the recently released report from the Inspector General, outlining in broad strokes the system of intimidation and retaliation, as they unpack the slow-walking of any major change to the administration under Biden's presidency, and how that can change. Ari Berman then sets his targets on Georgia as he walks Sam through the state GOP's overwhelming effort to pre-emptively rig every step of the electoral system in the lead-up to the 2024 elections, with a particular focus on replacing the election boards with election-denying cronies to changes in mail-in ballot eligibility. After briefly touching on the role of RFK's ongoing ballot shenanigans in further threatening mail-in-enfranchisement – particularly in Wisconsin and North Carolina – Berman and Sam tackle an ongoing legal case out of Mississippi that has the potential to risk mail-in ballots nationwide if it makes it to to the Supreme Court before November, wrapping up the interview with a conversation on the need for Dems to emphasize communicating voting rights, encouraging voting, and challenging this effort head-on. And in the Fun Half: Sam first unpacks yesterday's state-backed killing of Marcellus Williams, walking through the myriad issues ignored by the Missouri government and Supreme Court in his case, the overwhelming push to stay the case, and his son's reflections on the day of his death. Bernie Moreno takes on abortion and accidentally alienates 50% of his base, Dan Osborn absolutely kills the PR push ahead of his election, and JD Vance walks into a supermarket… ouch. Vivek, Taibbi, and Anna Khachiyan wax poetic about Great Replacement theory, Alvaro from Waco unpacks the Dem's push in Texas and the ongoing death row case of Robert Robertson, Stephen in Dublin and West in North Carolina (respectfully) unpack some absurdities in recent left coverage, Bob from Indiana has a movie recommendation (Matewan!) and a question for the Harris campaign, plus, your calls and IMs!Follow Sharon on Twitter here: https://x.com/fastlernerCheck out Sharon's work at ProPublica here: https://www.propublica.org/people/sharon-lerner Follow Ari on Twitter here: https://x.com/AriBerman Check out Ari's work at Mother Jones here: https://www.motherjones.com/author/ari-berman/ Check out “Minority Rule” here: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374600211/minorityrule Become a member at JoinTheMajorityReport.com: https://fans.fm/majority/join Follow us on TikTok here!: https://www.tiktok.com/@majorityreportfm Check us out on Twitch here!: https://www.twitch.tv/themajorityreport Find our Rumble stream here!: https://rumble.com/user/majorityrep ort Check out our alt YouTube channel here!: https://www.youtube.com/majorityreportlive Join Sam on the Nation Magazine Cruise! 7 days in December 2024!!: https://nationcruise.com/mr/ Check out StrikeAid here!; https://strikeaid.com/ Gift a Majority Report subscription here: https://fans.fm/majority/gift Subscribe to the ESVN YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/esvnshow Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here: https://am-quickie.ghost.io/ Join the Majority Report Discord! http://majoritydiscord.com/ Get all your MR merch at our store: https://shop.majorityreportradio.com/ Get the free Majority Report App!: http://majority.fm/app Check out today's sponsors: Shopify: Upgrade your business and get the same checkout brands like Alo, Allbirds, and Skims use.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with adrienne maree brown, writer, activist, and co-founder of the United States League of Young Voters, to discuss her recent book Loving Corrections. Then, she's joined by Jakob Johnston, writer and researcher at the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), author of the book Aid State: Elite Panic, Disaster Capitalism, and the Battle to Control Haiti, to discuss the recent pattern of hate crimes against Haitian immigrants in the United States.  First, Emma runs through updates on the swing-state race, the fight for IVF, anti-migrant fear-mongering, US foreign policy, Israel's lies, and environmental emergency, also parsing through some lingering impacts from the debate. adrienne maree brown then joins, diving right into the disappearance of the community alongside growing feelings of insecurity, isolation, and bigotry, tackling how this phenomenon is cultivated and stoked by the disappearance of public spaces. Expanding on this, maree brown walks through the precarious balance between rejecting mentalities of supremacy and dehumanization that divide us without cutting the line of humanity with the people who hold those views, before stepping back to tackle a few particular essays in ‘Loving Corrections,' which tackle the idea of countering the narratives of supremacy that have taken root in particular ideologies (patriarchy, Zionism) without atomizing or marginalizing the identities that have been corrupted (masculinity, Judaism, respectively). After expanding on the importance of understanding the historical and social context for building these bridges, adrienne and Emma bring the conversation to a close with the importance of understanding the personal context of interpersonal conflict. Jake Johnston then jumps right into summarizing the recent wave of anti-immigrant fear-mongering coming from the GOP and bolstered by the mainstream media, unpacking the deep history of the “savage” portrayal of Haitians from the state's outset as a product of the first truly successful slave revolt before stepping out to look at the material impact of the reemergence of this brand of fascist rhetoric, namely a wave of anti-migrant hate, violence, and threats. Taking a step back, Johnston and Emma expand on the long story of Haiti's economic exploitation at the hands of the US and the West, a relationship exacerbated coming out of the 2010 earthquake that wreaked havoc on the country's infrastructure and saw vulture capitalists (many state-backed) flock to the disaster to stake their claim, a development that has seen the Haitian government become even further disconnected from their population, elected by and accountable to donors, rather than voters. Wrapping up, Jake tackles the importance of using this moment of absurd anti-migrant hate to redirect the conversation toward the policies of exploitation and domination – and the lack of a politically-backed alternative – that create this insecurity in the first place. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they watch JD Vance triple-down on pushing absurd, conspiratorial migrant fear-mongering, Cody from Georgia unpacks Candace Owen's invocation of the Synagogue of Satan, and Emma gets something off her chest. Pat from Nebraska on talking politics with friends, Brett Weinstein accuses the Harris campaign of conspiring to inspire conspiracy, and Tulsi Gabbard goes all in on the theocratic fascism.

Episode Description: This week, Jason is joined by Bachelor Nation's newly engaged couple and fan favorites Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson!  Joey walked away from his lead role on The Bachelor this past season after asking Kelsey to marry him. Since their season wrapped, Joey and Kelsey have spent their time traveling and spending as much time together as an engaged couple. Having come from two different career paths and geographical locations (Joey a tennis pro in Hawaii and Kelsey a project manager in New Orleans), they are now faced with the deciding factor of what is next for them personally and professionally.  Joey and Kelsey reflect on meeting fans at CMAfest and their impact on their audience, what goes into teaching tennis, where they saw their careers going prior to the show, how Kelsey and Joey ended up on the show, what role Jason played in Joey's journey, and having important conversations in the fantasy suite. Kelsey and Joey also dive into the decision for Joey to move in with Kelsey in New Orleans, where they see their careers moving post show, discussing the influencer space and navigating other people being worried about their finances, and a few rapid fire questions. How many times has Kelsey been nominated for The Bachelor? Where do they plan on moving after the lease ends?
