"I'm ready to bring back gatekeeping." The New Yorker staff writer discusses how to protect the underground, experimenting with drugs and her new book, Health and Safety. Can drugs help us find meaning in music and nightlife? This is a question that today's Exchange guest, New Yorker staff writer Emily Witt, asks in earnest in her new book Health and Safety: A Breakdown. Just released in hardcover in the UK and Europe, the memoir traces Witt's life in her early-to-mid 30s. A journalist living and working in Brooklyn, she began experimenting with psychedelics and club drugs after years of living what she describes as a conservative, straight-and-narrow, middle-class life. She became enamoured with the borough's underground raves, frequenting events like the festival Sustain-Release, the party Unter and sets at Bushwick haunt Bossa Nova Civic Club, all while falling in love with an aspiring DJ and producer she calls Andrew. As the book progresses, Witt documents the growing MAGA movement in America, gun rights rallies and mass shootings. As the country falls apart, she watches her romantic relationship fall apart, too. Drugs and Brooklyn nightlife, she writes, became both an escape and a way to rearrange a world that she starts to feel no longer makes sense. Witt shares critical opinions about the underground scene's capacity to be a utopia and place of belonging in an increasingly hostile world, arguing that there should be more gatekeeping in place to protect a scene that's threatened by capitalism and the mainstream. She also interrogates what she calls "woke identity politics" in Brooklyn, the lack of change that came from the Black Lives Matter movement, empty calls for political protest that dominated the early days of the pandemic and why, despite everything, she's chosen to stay in Brooklyn for good.

 REWIND EPISODE FROM THE LF&F ARCHIVES (Synopsis)-  Under the view of the iconic Hollywood Sign, a struggle is being waged over the future of policing and incarceration. Los Angeles is ground zero for fights over the job of District Attorney, Police Chief, and the size of prisons and jails. Corporations that have profited from prison communications are now profiting on electronic monitoring. Can today's Los Angeles change the script?Stay informed and engaged! Don't miss out on our captivating weekly episodes that dive deep into the heart of our economy, culture, and politics from the past to the present. Please hit the podcast subscribe button if you've yet to subscribe.[The following Special Report from Los Angeles was originally released July 2024]Description: Over the past weekend, Los Angeles was rocked by reports of intensified ICE raids across Southern California, heightening fear and anxiety in immigrant communities. Families were detained in early morning operations, and community advocates quickly mobilized to provide legal support and rapid response. These raids are a stark reminder that, in California—a so-called sanctuary state—immigration enforcement continues to be deeply entangled with local policing and incarceration systems.This episode of Laura Flanders & Friends takes on renewed relevance as it explores LA's central role in shaping and challenging carceral policy. Under the shadow of the Hollywood Sign, Laura speaks with activists and officials confronting the legacy and present reality of policing in a state where SWAT teams were born, Reagan and Nixon launched punitive platforms, and the prison construction boom took root.At a moment when ICE raids reveal the persistent overlap between federal enforcement and local law, and corporate interests profit from alternatives like electronic monitoring, the episode asks: Can Los Angeles write a new story—one rooted in decarceration and community power? With criminal justice reform at the heart of election-year debates (2024), this conversation spotlights the people resisting criminalization from inside and outside the system. “When we talk about closing Men's Central Jail, yes, we're trying to close that particular building, but what it requires is every jail in our county to reduce its population . . . We're trying to decarcerate globally across the jail system, that will then allow us to close this monument of essentially torture in our communities.” - Mark-Anthony Clayton-Johnson“What if something went off and said that I wasn't where I was supposed to be, and all these cops showed up? . . . At [the age of] 15 thinking the cops are going to show up . . . that is one thing that I will always say that shamed me in my life. I felt unworthy. I felt like I was a bad person.” - Sheila Natt“. . . 94% of the people that are terminated from the electronic monitoring program pre-trial are terminated on technical violations . . . If the point is to use this electronic monitoring to help people stay out of jail and come to court, why are the technical violations leading you right back into jail?” - Anthony RoblesGuests:•.

As the state allows its first psilocybin healing centers, a church in Colorado Springs is finding connection through psychedelics. We visit the church with "The Trip: CPR's coverage of Colorado's psychedelic journey." Then, Colorado led the nation for police accountability reform in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. We find out how it's working five years later and what's still to be done, with Purplish.

In this episode, we explore how meaningful conversation can be divided into three emotional spaces — even if you live alone:

As an intersex male, DeMarco T. Lord has dedicated his life to championing the rights and well-being of marginalized communities. He is the passionate Founder and Executive Director of Advocates of the South Inc., where his leadership and unwavering commitment to activism shine. DeMarco is an activist first and an advocate second, prioritizing impactful change over recognition. Formerly a chapter leader for Black Lives Matter in San Francisco, he has tirelessly worked on the front lines of social justice. Additionally, he has been a coordinator for Transforming Organization in Atlanta—one of the oldest Transmasculine groups around—demonstrating his dedication to intersectional advocacy.

A Long Talk About the Uncomfortable Truth was developed by two black fathers in the wake of George Floyd's murder in May 2020, during a moment of national reckoning. There was a collective national and international outcry, but there was also a gap between intention and action. People wanted to help but didn't know where to start. In light of the Black Lives Matter movement, USRowing came to terms with its own limitations when it came to talking about – and taking action around – diversity, equity, and inclusion. A Long Talk gives space to have the conversations that people are afraid to have. They lead activation experiences designed to empower participants with knowledge and skills to interrupt problematic thinking and behaviors. Kamal Carter and Kyle Williams, founders of A Long Talk, are not rowers, but they are proud to be a USRowing Unity Partner, and working with rowing programs across the country.

Let us know what you think of this episode with a text!The Black Lives Matter movement gained significant world-wide social and financial support through the backing of the media and certain political figures. This aided in BLM's attempts to discredit and defund the entire law enforcement profession based upon the often misaligned actions of a few officers. However, with the recent questionable actions and suspected criminal activity of some its members, should the same standards be applied to BLM? Email: 3copstalk@gmail.comWebsite: https://www.3copstalk.comYoutube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCFWKMerhChCE6_s5yFqc4awFacebook: 3 Cops Talk | FacebookInstagram: https://instagram.com/3copstalk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Xi Van Fleet, author of "Mao's America," discusses the Cultural Revolution's impact on education and society. She explains how Mao targeted intellectuals and teachers, using youth indoctrinated in government schools to destroy old institutions. Van Fleet compares this strategy to modern movements like Black Lives Matter and Antifa, noting the use of divisive language and the empowerment of youth. She warns of the dangers of importing proletarians to create a larger underclass and divide American society. Van Fleet emphasizes the importance of understanding historical parallels to counter current political strategies aimed at consolidating power.0:00:00 - Intro0:00:20 - Cultural Revolution & It's Impact on Education 0:03:00 - Role of Intellectuals & The Great Leap Forward 0:06:32 - The Red Guards & Giving Young People Power 0:13:20 - Terminology & Counter-Revolutionaries 0:14:25 - Division By Class: Peasants, Elites & False Promises 0:20:45 - Advice to Americans, Red Flags & Communists USA0:26:05 - Division By Oppression & Rich Hypocrisy 0:28:37 - Immigration, Recruiting Revolutionaries & Promises0:33:16 - What Happens to Rich Liberals with Communism 0:37:15 - Dealing with Homeless & Drug Addicts & Power 0:40:35 - Labor Camps, Removing Threats & Power Struggles0:46:13 - Puppet Masters, Globalists & Excuses to Take Power 0:48:53 - Education & Youth in China Vs America 0:53:50 - Outro Xi Van Fleet X account:https://x.com/XVanFleetXi Van Fleet book "Mao's America: A Survivor's Warning" on Amazon:https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1546006311?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_mwn_dp_3HC7306SB91XQ027VJ67&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_mwn_dp_3HC7306SB91XQ027VJ67&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_mwn_dp_3HC7306SB91XQ027VJ67&bestFormat=trueChuck Shute link tree:https://linktr.ee/chuck_shuteSupport the showThanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!

Come sempre, iniziamo dando uno sguardo alle ultime notizie. Apriamo con una discussione sulla decisione di Germania, Francia, Gran Bretagna e Stati Uniti di abolire le restrizioni sulla gittata di 70 km imposte alle armi fornite all'Ucraina. Quindi, in occasione del quinto anniversario della morte di George Floyd, rifletteremo sull'attuale stato del movimento Black Lives Matter. Nella nostra sezione scientifica parleremo di uno studio che rivela come alcune scimmie siano state osservate mentre rapivano cuccioli di altre specie. E, infine, concluderemo la prima parte della puntata con una conversazione sul Festival di Cannes, che si è chiuso sabato scorso.    La seconda parte del programma sarà dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana.

Part 1 of our special two-part audio drama is here. This month, Shadow Carriers resurrects the legend of the Carter Brothers—New Orleans' most infamous vampire killers. Told through the eyes of a young woman who narrowly escaped their grasp, her tale twists through blood-soaked memories, lingering terror, and a thirst for something more than survival. But in the dark heart of the Quarter, who's the real predator... and who's the prey?_____________________________Please be sure to like us on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shadowcarriersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shadowcarriersIf you like what you hear and want to buy your storytellers a drink, you can catch us at @shadowcarriers on Venmo.If you've enjoyed this episode and want to support our work, become a patron of the podcast!

Stay out of wombs Nigel! Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wants us to have more babies - which for new mum Coco feels like being bamboozled into being rightwing. Not only this, Farage is even coming for abortion - saying it's “utterly ludicrous” to allow abortion up to 24-weeks. Keep your wits about you! From leaked memos and inner-circle beef to U-turns and rumoured U-turns - Keir Starmer is feeling the pressure. Nish and Coco dive into the Westminster bubble to find out why the Government has become a leaky ship with Politico reporter Bethany Dawson. Half a decade on from the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that shook the world, only one third of the recommendations of major reports to tackle endemic racism in the UK has actually been implemented and equality initiatives are facing a rightwing backlash on both sides of the Atlantic. So, is the UK backsliding on racial justice?  Guardian community affairs correspondent and author Aamna Mohdin reflects on the personal and political legacy of the largest anti-racism rallies in the UK since the abolition of slavery.

UU. van a levantar la restricción del alcance de 70 km en las armas que proporcionan a Ucrania. Después, conmemoraremos el quinto aniversario de la muerte de George Floyd echando un vistazo al estado actual del movimiento Black Lives Matter. La noticia de ciencia estará dedicada a un estudio que indica que se ha observado a monos secuestrando a crías de otras especies.

In late April, details came to light about a covert experiment conducted by researchers from the University of Zurich on unsuspecting Reddit users on the debate forum known as r/changemyview. They used AI chatbots posing as real humans on the forum to test their powers of persuasion and invented backstories like a rape survivor or a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter. What they didn't have was consent. The experiment violated Reddit Terms of Service, forum rules and, critics say, academic research standards. The researchers who notified Reddit of the experiment after the fact have since apologized and said they won't publish the results. Reddit says it's increasing efforts to verify users are human. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Mohammad Hosseini, a professor at Northwestern University's medical school, about the potential harms that could come from a study like this one.

George Floyd - the man, the myth, the Fentanyl addict. We remember…or pay tribute to those who remember. That is to say: mercilessly mock the tributes that flooded in for a serial criminal whose death from a drug overdose set off the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020. The Democrats don't know how to talk to men, so they are spending a lot of money to try to understand.

Today, the stories of two Colorado veterans who've had two different experiences with PTSD and how to treat it. Could psilocybin be the answer, and if it is, what are the challenges to getting it? We find out with "The Trip: CPR's Coverage of Colorado's Psychedelic Journey." Then, five years after the murder of George Floyd, where does the Black Lives Matters movement stand? Plus, it's the beginning of the end for the penny. And, the story of a special education teacher in Colorado, and the effort to recruit and train more. 

On today's show, we spend the hour looking back at the five years of abolitionist and community organizing since the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25th, 2020. First, we speak with Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County Attorney. Hennepin County's most known city is Minneapolis. Then, we're joined by Melina Abdullah, a professor and the chair of pan-African studies at Cal State Los Angeles, as well as the co-founder of the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter and co-founder of Black Lives Matter Grassroots. Alongside Melina Abdullah, we speak with Chauntyll Allen, a longtime front-line community organizer and educator who leads Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, founded Love First Community Engagement, and works as the Director of Criminal Justice and Activism at the Wayfinder Foundation — among many other community leadership roles.  Then, we're joined by ​Alex Vitale, a Professor of Sociology and Coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. He has spent the last 30 years writing about policing and consults community-based movements, human and civil rights organizations, and governments internationally.

Nancy and Sarah discuss a Columbia Journalism Review bombshell about the alleged sexual misdeeds of journalist Wes Lowery, who shot to fame during the Black Lives Matter era and is perhaps best known for popularizing the idea of journalism guided by “moral certainty.” This is hot one! Sarah gets kneejerk over blackout confusion, Nancy doesn't understand “situationships,” and they argue over the definition of “glory hole.” Whether Lowery is guilty of these misdeeds we can't say, but we both hope #metoo stories start to pivot away from “tearing someone down” to pointing to a better way to engage with people you love/bone/covet/teach/mentor/etc.Also discussed:* The latest Mission: Impossible — wanna guess who liked it?* A blender full of stunts, frappéd* When did we start celebrating Memorial Day?* The smell of a nuclear submarine (let's ask Sarah's brother)* SLEEP BUFFET!!!!* Ken Burns' theory on binary thinking shaped by computer code* Fifth Column + Lowery = “exactly what you want from mega-minds”* Buying a woman a drink: Predatory behavior — or kick-ass?* Do people get roofied?

I got to looking at all the reels my editing software creates and I realized that I can download the better ones, edit them together and load them up a best of daily edition. I know this is from Friday and today is Monday but I figured I'd give it a try. My goal is to do them daily if time and internet connection permits. Here's my best of the day (or worst depending on your perspective) from Friday, May 23rd's show (Ep #986) Here is the description from the full show, the best of features highlights from the below topics: On The Clay Edwards Show, aired Memorial Day weekend 2025, host Clay Edwards discusses America's societal shifts since George Floyd's death in 2020. Celebrating "Space Force Friday," Edwards reflects on the pendulum swing from "Black Lives Matter" to what he calls "Black fatigue," arguing that the past five years exposed flawed leadership and societal wounds now healing. He critiques the focus on race in media and politics, citing examples like the firing of WLBT's Barbie Bassett for racially insensitive remarks. Edwards debates a caller from New York, who challenges his focus on Black-on-Black crime, pointing to White suicide rates and systemic issues. Edwards counters that public violence, unlike suicide, impacts communities broadly, emphasizing local crime's effect on Jackson, Mississippi. He rejects excuses for violence, urging accountability while dismissing deflections like health disparities in Black communities. The show, marked by heated exchanges, underscores Edwards' unfiltered style and his call for unity behind shared American values, while honoring Memorial Day's true meaning—remembering fallen troops.

On Memorial Day weekend, Donald Trump addressed graduates at West Point with a campaign-style speech that celebrated his rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and signaled plans to expand the military's involvement in immigration enforcement. Plus, an analysis of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which could add over $3 trillion to the deficit while slashing health care and food stamps. Then, Rev. Al Sharpton joins The Weekend to reflect on the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's murder.

If you've ever had the bad luck of getting a UTI - or urinary tract infection - you'll know how painful they can be. It's a bacterial infection which can affect the bladder, urethra or kidneys and give a burning or stinging sensation when you urinate. Yesterday, in a powerful parliamentary session, the Labour MP Allison Gardner spoke through tears as she described her experiences of chronic UTIs. The MP for Stoke-on-Trent is now hoping to launch a cross-party parliamentary group to look at chronic UTIs. Allison joined Anita Rani, along with GP Ellie Cannon.This week, the BBC launches the Women's Summer of Sport, marking the start of a bumper summer of coverage including the Euros, the Rugby World Cup and Queen's tennis tournament. The Welsh women's football team have been called 'history makers' after qualifying for the European Championship for the first time. Three of the players, Josie Green, Lily Woodham and Elise Hughes, tell us what this means for them and how they are preparing for their debut tournament.The Bombing of Pan Am 103, is a new BBC drama series. It's based on the true story of the bombing of a passenger flight over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie on 21 December 1988, in which 270 people were killed. Kathryn Turman was an assistant to a federal senator at the time of the bombing. After the trial, she joined the FBI, where she founded the agency's first-ever Victim Services Division. Her experience in the aftermath of the Pan Am bombing proved invaluable to the FBI's response to the 9/11 attacks, and she has aided victims and families throughout major moments in history, including the Las Vegas shooting and the Boston marathon bombing. She discusses her mission to help victims, and what inspired her work in public service.Five years after the murder of George Floyd, a black man, by a white police officer in Minneapolis, a new BBC documentary is reflecting on the wave of Black Lives Matter protests that followed, including in the UK. Backlash: The Murder of George Floyd tells the story through the eyes of some of those who found themselves on the frontline during the spring and summer of 2020, including Khady Gueye, who made headlines after a local protest she planned in the Forest of Dean was initially cancelled. She joined Nuala McGovern, along with author and producer Nova Reid, to reflect on the impact the events of that time have had on their lives, and what has changed since then.Liane Child's novel The Trad Wife's Secret is inspired by influencers who believe in traditional gender roles in marriage. So is this a wholesome phenomenon or a dangerous and sexist regression? And what is the appeal to the millions of people who follow 'trad wives' online? Liane Child joined Nuala along with British 'traditional housewife' and influencer Charlie Gray.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Andrea Kidd

Savage explains how the "Free Palestine" movement is steeped in the radical socialist ideology. Learn how the socialist rhetoric espoused by Bernie Sanders and Occasional-Cortex ignites violence among the leftwing.

Savage concludes by warning why he fears what could come before the midterm elections.

(I also announce my new cozy fantasy, it's real now! I am of course stressing over storytelling complexities (again).) Let's talk about the Blade, and everything it stands for: mainly, jealousy, a feeling that can be sharp and painful. But fear not, we also discuss how to deal with these feelings and how to shut this bully up.
