What does it really mean to believe that God loves you? And how does knowing His love change the way we live as Christians? Rick Robertson of Jubilee Church Wirral explores 1 John 4:7–21 and shows that God's love isn't simply an idea we learn about – it is the foundation from which we live the Christian life. Rick looks at three key truths: 1. Love begins with God. God is the source and the very definition of love. His love is eternal, unchanging and limitless. Unlike human love, which can be imperfect and inconsistent, God's love is completely committed to us. We can be fully known by Him – including our weaknesses, failures and brokenness – and still be completely loved. 2. God's love has been revealed through Jesus. We don't have to wonder what God's love looks like. He demonstrated it by sending His Son, Jesus, into the world. Through Jesus' life, death and resurrection, God's love has been made visible and the barrier of our sin has been dealt with. Jesus brings us into the relationship of love that has existed eternally between the Father and the Son. 3. We need to choose to believe God's love. Knowing that God loves us intellectually isn't enough. We need to receive and believe His love. When we know that we are loved, secure and accepted by God, it changes how we live and how we love others. Rick also explores the important biblical word “propitiation”, explaining how Jesus' death dealt with the problem of sin and removed the barrier that stood between us and God. Ultimately, the message is simple but profound: God knows you completely, and He continues to choose to love you. His love is not dependent on our performance or perfection. As we become rooted in that love, we are increasingly able to love others with the same self-giving, sacrificial and forgiving love that we have received from Him. “We love because he first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19The post Rick Robertson: Choosing to believe in the love of God first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.
We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent dig deep into a Reddit post about soundbars to gain some insight into how A.I. is going to make sense of audiophiles in the future. (That'll make sense in context, promise.) After that, they riff on some interesting new data about CD and LP sales, which prove K-pop and wall art are driving the whole audio biz. Then they turn their fleeting attention to recent developments in streaming — apparently, Spotify editorial playlists are in decline, but is Spotify still the only streamer that matters? Brent has some data of his own (and a $147 ASCAP payment!) to add to the conversation.
What does it really mean to be a Christian? In ‘The Mark of a True Christian’, Ola Dosunmu of Jubilee Church Wirral looks at Romans 12:9-21, showing that the evidence of genuine faith is seen not simply in what we believe, but in how we live. After explaining God's saving grace throughout the first eleven chapters of Romans, the Apostle Paul turns to the practical outworking of the gospel, revealing the characteristics that should mark every follower of Jesus. Ola explores three key marks of a true Christian: – The Sacrifice of Love: Christ's sacrificial death gives believers a completely new identity. As we spend time with Jesus, the Holy Spirit continues His work of transforming us from the inside out. – The Sincerity of Love: Genuine faith produces genuine love. Christians are called to love without hypocrisy, honour one another, serve faithfully, show hospitality, persevere in prayer and live in peace with others. – The Forgiving Nature of Love: Rather than seeking revenge or repaying evil with evil, followers of Christ are called to bless those who oppose them, trust God with justice and overcome evil by doing good. The Christian life is not about outward religion but about allowing God's love to shape every part of our lives. As we grow closer to Jesus, His character becomes increasingly visible through us.The post Ola Dosunmu: The Mark of a True Christian first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Who are you? As part of Jubilee Church Wirral's Foundations for Life series, Chris Griffiths explores one of life's most fundamental questions: “Who am I?” Chris contrasts the labels the world places on us with the unchanging identity God gives to everyone who belongs to Christ. The world constantly seeks to define people by appearance, background, achievements, status, abilities or circumstances. These labels can easily lead to comparison, division, insecurity and conflict. But the gospel offers a completely different starting point: before anything else, believers are children of God. Drawing on passages including John 1:12, Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 3:28, Chris explains that when we place our faith in Jesus, our primary identity changes forever. We are no longer defined by our past, our failures, our successes or the opinions of others. Instead, we are loved, chosen, accepted, redeemed, forgiven, restored and made new in Christ. Sharing his own powerful testimony, Chris reflects on a difficult childhood marked by family breakdown and responsibility beyond his years, before explaining how giving his life to Jesus at the age of fourteen transformed his understanding of who he was. Rather than allowing his circumstances to define him, he discovered the love, fatherhood and acceptance of God that became the foundation of his identity. Chris also shares how this truth sustained him through his recent cancer journey. In the midst of uncertainty, his greatest confidence was not found in his circumstances but in knowing that he belonged to Jesus. That identity gave him peace, hope and strength when everything else felt uncertain. The message concludes by reminding believers of the unshakable truths that flow from being God's children. In Christ our sins are forgiven, our future is secure, our souls are redeemed and our relationship with God is restored. These are the truths Christians are called to hold onto, even when the voices of the world seek to tell a different story. Whether you're exploring faith or have followed Jesus for many years, this encouraging message points back to the foundation of the Christian life: our identity is not something we earn or create—it is something God graciously gives through Jesus Christ. Bible passages: 1 Samuel 16:7, James 2:1–4, Galatians 3:28, John 1:12, 1 John 3:1, Romans 8:15, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 5:8, Zephaniah 3:17, Ephesians 1:7, Psalm 103:12, Jeremiah 29:11, John 14:2–3, 1 Peter 1:18–19, Titus 2:14.The post Chris Griffiths: Who am I? first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Dave Frodsham continues our Foundations series by looking at why we need to be people of the Word and of the Spirit and what encouragement there is in the Bible. Key scriptures: John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. Matthew 4:4. But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” Matthew 22:29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. Psalm 63:1-8: O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. Psalm 119:103–105 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts (commandment) I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. John 7:37–39 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified .

In this message, Graham explores the rich truths found in 2 Corinthians 13:14, showing how one verse contains four foundational Christian doctrines: the Trinity, grace, the Father's love (which he connects with God's sovereign election), and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Graham begins by explaining the doctrine of the Trinity—one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although the word “Trinity” isn't found in the Bible, he shows how Scripture consistently reveals God's triune nature, pointing to passages such as Jesus' baptism, the Great Commission, and Genesis 1. He explains that Jesus is fully God and has existed eternally with the Father and the Holy Spirit. He then focuses on the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, emphasising that salvation and the Christian life are entirely based on God's undeserved favour rather than human effort. Reflecting on his own experience, Graham shares how he spent years trying to earn God's approval through religious performance before discovering the freedom of living under God's grace instead of legalism. Next, Graham explores the love of God the Father, teaching that God's love is rooted in His sovereign choice and eternal purpose. He discusses the biblical doctrines of election and predestination, explaining how he initially struggled with these teachings before becoming convinced that salvation belongs to God from beginning to end. He encourages believers to find deep assurance in knowing that nothing can separate them from God's love and that He faithfully keeps those He has called. Finally, Graham highlights the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, reminding Christians that the Spirit is not simply a doctrine but a personal companion who fills, strengthens, and empowers believers daily. He encourages continual dependence on the Holy Spirit, inviting God's presence afresh and cultivating a close friendship with Him. Throughout the message, Graham combines biblical teaching with personal testimony, encouraging Christians to rest in God's grace, trust His sovereign love, and live daily in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. He concludes by inviting people to receive prayer and to seek a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit.The post Graham Webb: Four foundations in one verse first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Manny reminds us that salvation is God's gift, available today through Jesus Christ. Reflecting on Christ's incredible sacrifice, he explores what salvation truly means—deliverance, safety, and restoration—and challenges us not only to receive God's grace but to live it out every day. Drawing from passages including 2 Corinthians 6:2, Romans 13:11–12, and Jesus' parables of the hidden treasure and the talents, Manny encourages us to make Christ our greatest treasure, turn away from sin, carry our cross daily, and boldly share the good news with others. The message is a call to respond to God's love without delay, because now is the day of salvation. Key Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 6:2, Romans 13:11–12, Matthew 13:44, Matthew 25:14–30.

What happens when your prayers seem unanswered? How do you keep believing when the waiting feels long? Sylvia shares a powerful teaching from Luke 18, where Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical encouragement, Sylvia reminds us that prayer isn't a one-time event—it's a lifestyle of faith, persistence, and relationship with our Heavenly Father. Sylvia also shares personal stories of God's faithfulness, encouraging every believer to keep trusting, keep praying, and keep believing that God hears those who cry out to Him day and night. Don't give up. Keep praying. God is faithful.The post Sylvia Billington: Never give up praying first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.
Who is the true Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.)? While sports legends like Messi, Pelé, and Ronaldo eventually see their greatness fade with time and age, there is one person whose greatness remains consistent yesterday, today, and forever. In this preach, Dave Frodsham dives into Luke 9 to explore three critical questions that define our faith: – Who do the crowds say Jesus is? – Who does the Father say He is? – And most importantly – who do you say He is? There’s a big difference between simply knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him personally – do you know Him today?The post Dave Frodsham: Who is the Greatest of All Time? first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.
Rick looks at 1 Corinthians 12:1–12 to explore what it means to live a naturally supernatural Christian life. Rick reminds us that hearing from God and moving in the gifts of the Holy Spirit isn't just for a select few – it is supposed to be part of the everyday DNA of the church. Rick talks about: Grace Gifts (Charismata): Spiritual gifts aren’t earned by being a Christian for decades. They are free, grace-filled gifts from God given to build up and encourage the church community. Pursue, Don’t Just Be Open: Rick challenges us to move from simply being “open” to the gifts to actively and eagerly desiring them, just as scripture commands. The Purpose is Edification: Whether it’s words of wisdom, prophecy, hospitality, or tongues, the primary goal is always to strengthen, comfort, and build up others in love. Testing Prophecy: Because we “know in part,” Rick emphasises the importance of sharing and receiving prophetic words with humility, always weighing them against scripture. A Word of Encouragement: Toward the end of the message, Rick shares a specific word for anyone who has been held back by fear from past experiences with the occult or secular spirituality: God has broken that fear. Your future is secure in His hands, and His plans for you are to prosper you, not to harm you.The post Rick Robertson: One spirit, many gifts first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.
Dave looks at Ephesians 2 and Acts 2 to explore the fundamental foundations of the Christian faith. Using a practical illustration involving loose gravel and a shed base, he explains how Christians are designed to be built together to withstand the pressures of life. The Personal Foundation (Acts 2): Dave breaks down the four essential elements of a Christian's personal foundation: Repentance (turning away from sin), Faith (trusting in Jesus), Water Baptism (the outward symbol of a changed life), and Holy Spirit Baptism (the power needed to live out our faith). What We Once Were (Ephesians 2:11-12): It is vital to remember where we came from so we remain humble. Without Christ, humanity was spiritually dead, hopeless, and completely alienated from God. What Christ Has Done (Ephesians 2:13-16): Through His blood on the cross, Jesus paid our debt and brought us near to God. He fulfilled the law and tore down the “walls of hostility” that divide people, establishing true peace. What We Are Now (Ephesians 2:19): When we trust in Jesus, our old life is history. We are no longer strangers or outsiders; we are citizens of God’s kingdom, built together as a diverse, unified church. Like individual pebbles locked into a foundation grid, we are made stronger together. The post Dave Frodsham: Strong Foundations first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.
Are you ready to step into your calling? In this powerful and encouraging message, Phil reminds us that God is doing some amazing things right now in Wirral, in our nation, and beyond! We aren't just onlookers—we are actually invited and called to be a vital part of the Great Commission. Phil takes us on a journey from the Old Testament to the New Testament, starting with Daniel's breathtaking vision of Jesus's eternal authority and kingdom. He connects this heavenly power straight to Matthew 28, reminding us that Jesus has invested that very same authority in us to go out and make disciples. But how do we do that practically? Phil dives into Ephesians 4 and Romans 12 to look at how the church is built to work together. He breaks down: The Five-Fold Ministry: How God specifically appoints leaders, pastors, and teachers to equip the church. Phil challenges us to honor, encourage, and support our leaders who carry the heavy responsibility of watching over our souls. Stirring Up Our Gifts: Whether your gift is serving, encouraging, teaching, or giving, Phil reminds us that every role is vital. He shares a heartwarming personal story about how a simple word of encouragement fueled his own heart, and he challenges us to bless others the same way! Diligence in Leadership: Phil unpacks what true, godly leadership looks like—it's not about self-promotion or natural ambition, but about humility, spiritual maturity, and being a living sacrifice. If you are called to lead, Phil's message is clear: do it diligently, passionately, and with no half-measures! We are one body with many different gifts, all serving the same Lord. Let's shake off any laziness, stir up our spiritual fervour, and serve God with everything we've got! Key Scriptures Mentioned:
What does it mean to live a life of faith when everything around us feels a bit shaken? Dave brings us to the final chapter of the letter to the Hebrews, reminding us that the Christian life is an adventure, a race, and a walk of faith where we have to keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. As the world changes and uncertainties creep in, Dave highlights the ultimate anchor for our souls: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Dave breaks down three key things the writer of Hebrews reminds us to do: 1. Remember those who went before you
Rick begins a two-part series exploring who the Holy Spirit is and what it means to live in relationship with Him daily. Drawing from a range of Bible passages, Rick looks at the personhood of the Holy Spirit, addressing the common misconception that He is simply an impersonal “force” or a tool for a spiritual boost. Rick also shares his personal story of moving from a passive observer of faith during his youth to experiencing a genuine encounter with God at university. This talk covers the distinction between being sealed with the Spirit upon belief and the daily, ongoing choice to let Him guide our lives. Rick also discusses how the Spirit is already active in the world — quietly prompting people long before they make a conscious decision to follow Jesus.The post Rick Robertson: Life with the Holy Spirit first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

In Joy and Happiness, guest speaker Andy Arscott explores the difference between temporary happiness and the eternal joy found in Christ. Speaking from Philippians 4, Andy challenges us to move beyond “spectator Christianity” and into a life of active service and deep-rooted peace. Andy talks about Building the “Drywall” Church: Using the imagery of dry stone walling, Andy emphasises that every person is a “living stone” with a unique shape. A healthy church isn’t built by a few leaders, but by everyone finding their place, joining home groups, and “feeding the sheep” through acts of love and service. Joy vs. Happiness: Andy breaks down why the Nordic countries often top the “happiness” charts, but notes that biblical joy is different. Happiness depends on circumstances (money, status, health), but Joy abides. It is a byproduct of our connection to God and our secure salvation. The Power of Perspective: “Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I respond to it.” Andy shares about the loss of his wife and how the “wells of salvation” provided strength and joy even in the midst of deep grief. Anxiety as the “Rust of Life”: Addressing Paul's command to “not be anxious,” Andy reminds us that anxiety is often a battle of faith. He provides a framework for joy as a settled assurance that God is in control, He is working all things for good, and our future is eternally secure.

In Equipping the body for mission, guest speaker Graham Webb of Jubilee Church Liverpool explores the vital role of “Ephesians 4 Ministries” within the local church. Drawing from his experience helping to lead the North west region of ChristCentral, Graham shares his passion for seeing churches and leaders encouraged and equipped for the mission of Jesus. Graham reflects on his own journey – from being taught in a Presbyterian seminary that these spiritual gifts were only for the early church, to discovering the life-giving reality of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers in the present day. Graham looks at: – Why the gifts of Ephesians 4:11 are still essential for the church today. – Why these ministries aren’t meant to do all the work themselves, but to empower every believer for service. – How evangelism, prophecy, and apostolic mission work together to build a healthy, mature church family. Whether you are curious about how God uses different leadership gifts or you want to be encouraged in your own walk with Christ, Graham's insight provides a biblical roadmap for growing up into the fullness of Jesus.The post Graham Webb: Equipping the body for mission first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

In ‘Is my faith visible?’, Ola looks at Hebrews 13:1-8 and challenges us to move beyond talking about faith and ensure it is genuinely visible through our actions.

Having faith by depending on God 3. Holding onto our faithThe post Ola Dosunmu: Is my faith visible? first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

You might want to have the butter and the Mrs. Butterworth’s handy for this one – it’s all about pancakes. Some of them are as big as a major city. There are only two problems: They’re made out of dense volcanic rock, and they’re on the planet Venus. Venus is covered with many thousands of volcanic features – lava plains, cone-shaped mountains, and structures that look like crowns and spiders. Most of the features are old, but there are hints that the planet is still volcanically active today. The list of features includes pancake domes. There are scores of them – some by themselves, but many in groups. They’re almost perfectly round and flat. They can be up to a few dozen miles across, and more than half a mile tall. And their edges are steep – almost-sheer cliffs. The domes probably formed when thick molten rock bubbled to the surface. It spread out in all directions. And it continued to spread well after the lava spigot was turned off. A study published last year said that some of the pancakes dented the surface below them – perhaps one reason they’re so flat. That dimple created a moat around one of the domes, with a raised rim around the moat – a good arrangement for catching all that butter and syrup. Venus is the brilliant “evening star.” It’s quite close to the crescent Moon this evening. The Moon will stand above the planet tomorrow night; more about that on our next program.

Phillip and Eric are talking the hit fantasy manga series, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe. They discuss its character-driven take on the well-trodden high fantasy genre, the deconstruction of various fantasy character archetypes, and buying Mrs. Butterworth syrup.

So, which one matters?Episode Links:"I'm being bombarded by different emotions." CBS News contributor Masih Alinejad, whose parents and siblings live in Iran, says the Iranians she's spoken to are overcome with joy that "their killers have finally been the target of the U.S. government and they see justice; but at the same time, they are worried, they're concerned that if this is not going to lead to regime change... if the American government, the Israeli government only target the military leaders, not the political leaders, then the people of Iran are going to be left alone."The Hodgetwins are not pleased. 3.5 MILLION followersBabak Taghvaee - The Crisis WatchBREAKING: This Iranian Sky News Australia anchor is going worldwide for her FAREWELL MESSAGE to Ayatollah Khamenei live on-air, dropped straight in Persian.

I saw this recording before I heard it. At the Pitt Rivers Museum at the start of the project. The physical object: an original Edison wax phonograph cylinder from 1914. I was struck by how modern it seemed in some ways; the corporate branding on the label. I imagined it being purchased from a shop. Then I saw it was a recording made in Nagaland and I thought of my friend, Temsu, an artist from Nagaland. I thought of Nagaland: such a fascinating place, so rich in tradition and culture; megaliths, hills and jungle. Then I heard the recording, the voices singing rhythmically, a work song designed to make the hours pass and how the hours have passed – into years, decades, a century. I wondered about those people and how little I will ever know of their lives. And the voice that introduces the recording too, an anthropologist now just as lost to time as the singing Nagas, his world on the brink of being consumed by an industrial warfare that within a generation would reach Nagaland too in one of the biggest, most significant battles of the second war, now largely forgotten here. I thought of Vaughn-Williams and of Butterworth (he himself lost in that first war), I thought of their reinvention of folk music at that time and all of the periodic rediscoveries of folk music since. This led me to a work song melody with its purpose lost, morphed into a hypnotic repetition. The richness of individual lives melted down and boiled by time; all of it forever lost, only dust and ghosts scratched into wax.

Lucille Butterworth went missing in Tasmania in 1969, and Australians were shocked to learn decades later that someone confessed to her murder just 7 years after her disappearance.

My guests for Episode #537 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast are Caroline Greenlee and Chris Butterworth, two of the three co-authors (with Chris Warner) of the book Why Care: How Thriving Individuals Create Thriving Cultures of Continuous Improvement Within Organizations. Episode page with transcript and more In this conversation, we discuss their experiences and lessons on building cultures of continuous improvement that are rooted in respect, caring, and psychological safety. Caroline brings rich experience as a Lean and continuous improvement coach, having partnered with organizations across different sectors to develop people and improve performance. Her background spans leadership development, organizational behavior, and a Master's degree in human resources management. Chris is an award-winning author, international speaker, and a certified Shingo Institute Master-level facilitator and faculty fellow. He has more than 20 years of experience coaching executive teams and helping organizations embed sustainable improvement practices, always with a deep respect for people at the center. In this episode, we explore topics such as: Practical approaches for leaders who want to build sustainable continuous improvement cultures. The origin story of Why Care and its message for leaders. Why caring cultures matter for both performance and people. Lessons from their Shingo Publication Award recognition. How psychological safety and respect for people underpin true Lean leadership. Key Quotes Caroline Greenlee "Lean isn't just about tools or methods -- it's about people. If we don't care, we can't expect continuous improvement to last." "Respect for people means creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and able to contribute. That's when real improvement happens." Chris Butterworth "Sustainable improvement starts with caring -- for people, for culture, and for the impact of our actions. Without that, Lean can't take root." "Psychological safety isn't soft; it's essential. It's what allows people to speak up, share problems, and drive meaningful change."

Tucked above Pike Place Market, the Butterworth Building was once Seattle's swankiest monument to death, complete with mahogany caskets, mourning suites, and the West Coast's first corpse elevator. In this episode, we dig into the dark legacy of E.R. Butterworth, his creepy connection to “fasting specialist” Linda Hazzard, and the spirits that linger (not just the alcoholic kind).Special guest Jake Rice, aka Ghost Daddy, drops by to share eerie tales of paranormal activity still reported today.Edited by Maxwell Holechek
The army celebrated its 250th anniversary this weekend in an incredibly patriotic fashion. Thank god that President Trump is in office to honor and celebrate our country and its 250th birthday. If Democrats were in power the army might not have even gotten a mention or an acknowledgement for their bravery and dedication. CNN was busy covering the "No Kings" protest in which most protestors weren't entirely sure what they were protesting. If you were in Washington D.C. this weekend then Butterworth's was the place to be after the parade.

First up, Georgetown law professor and former national legal director at the ACLU, David Cole, joins us to discuss the legal response to the Trump Administration's serial violations of the Constitution. Then Mike Ferner of Veterans for Peace checks in to update us halfway through his Fast for Gaza, 40 days of living on 250 calories per day, which is the average caloric intake of Palestinian survivors in Gaza. Finally, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Joe Holley, stops by to pay tribute to his mentor and colleague, the late crusading journalist, Ronnie Dugger, founder of the progressive Texas Observer.David Cole is the Honorable George J. Mitchell Professor in Law and Public Policy and former National Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). He writes about and teaches constitutional law, freedom of speech, and constitutional criminal procedure. He is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and is the legal affairs correspondent for The Nation.Trump is obviously not concerned about antisemitism. He's concerned about targeting schools because they are places where people can criticize the president, where people can think independently, are taught to think independently, and often don't support what the president is doing. He's using his excuse to target a central institution of civil society.David ColeThe decision on Trump versus the United States is only about criminal liability for criminal acts, not for unconstitutional acts. And violating the Constitution is not a crime. Every president has violated the Constitution probably since George Washington. That's not a crime.David ColeMike Ferner served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and he is former National Director and current Special Projects Coordinator for Veterans for Peace. He is the author of Inside the Red Zone: A Veteran for Peace Reports from Iraq.Two hundred and fifty calories is technically, officially, a starvation diet, and we're doing it for 40 days. The people in Gaza have been doing it for months and months and months, and they're dying like crazy. That's the whole concern that we're trying to raise. And I'll tell you at the end of this fast, on the 40th day, we are not just going out silently. There are going to be some fireworks before we're done with this thing. So all I'm saying is: stay tuned.Mike Ferner: Special Projects Coordinator of Veterans for Peace on “FastforGaza”They're (The Veterans Administration is) being defamed, Ralph, for the same reason that those right-wing corporatists defamed public education. So they can privatize it. And that's exactly what they're trying to do with the VA. And I can tell you every single member of Veterans for Peace has got nothing but praise for the VA.Mike FernerJoe Holley was the editor of the Texas Observer in the early 1980s. A former staff writer at The Washington Post and a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writer and columnist at the Houston Chronicle, he is the author of eight books, mostly about Texas.He would talk to people, and he would find out things going on about racial discrimination, about farm workers being mistreated, all kind of stories that the big papers weren't reporting. And this one guy, young Ronnie Dugger, would write these stories and expose things about Texas that a lot of Texans just did not know.Joe Holley on the late progressive journalist, Ronnie DuggerHe knew the dark side of Texas, but he always had an upbeat personality. I had numerous conversations with Ronnie (Dugger), and he was ferociously independent.Ralph NaderNews 6/13/251. On Monday, Israeli forces seized the Madleen, the ship carrying activist Greta Thunberg and others attempting to bring food and other supplies past the Israeli blockade into Gaza, and detained the crew. The ship was part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thunberg had been designated an “Ambassador of Conscience,” by Amnesty International. The group decried her detention, with Secretary General Agnès Callamard writing, “Israel has once again flouted its legal obligations towards civilians in the occupied Gaza Strip and demonstrated its chilling contempt for legally binding orders of the International Court of Justice.” On Tuesday, CBS reported that Israel deported Thunberg. Eight other passengers refused deportation and the Jerusalem Post reports they remain in Israeli custody. They will be represented in Israeli courts by Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel. One of these detainees is Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament.2. Shortly before the Madleen was intercepted, members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing concern for the safety of these activists, citing the deadly 2010 raid of the Mavi Marmara, which ultimately resulted in the death of ten activists, including an American. This letter continued, “any attack on the Madleen or its civilian crew is a clear and blatant violation of international law. United Nations experts have called for the ship's safe passage and warned Israel to “refrain from any act of hostility” against the Madleen and its passengers…We call on you to monitor the Madleen's journey and deter any such hostile actions.” This letter was led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and drew signatures from Congressional progressives like Reps. Summer Lee, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Greg Casar, and others.3. On the other end of the political spectrum, Trump – ever unpredictable – seemed to criticize Israel's detention of Thunberg. In a press conference, “Trump was…asked about Thunberg's claim that she had been kidnapped.” The president responded “I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg…Is that what she said? She was kidnapped by Israel?” The reporter replied “Yes, sir,” to which “Trump responded by shaking his head.” This from Newsweek.4. Of course, the major Trump news this week is his response to the uprising in Los Angeles. Set off by a new wave of ICE raids, protesters have clashed with police in the streets and Trump has responded by increasingly upping the ante, including threatening to arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom, per KTLA. Beyond such bluster however, Trump has moved to deploy U.S. Marines onto the streets of the nation's second-largest city. Reuters reports, “About 700 Marines were in a staging area in the Seal Beach area about 30 miles…south of Los Angeles, awaiting deployment to specific locations,” in addition to 2,100 National Guard troops. The deployment of these troops raises thorny legal questions. Per Reuters, “The Marines and National Guard troops lack the authority to makes arrests and will be charged only with protecting federal property and personnel,” but “California Attorney General Rob Bonta… [said] there was a risk that could violate an 1878 law that…forbids the U.S. military, including the National Guard, from taking part in civilian law enforcement.” Yet, despite all the tumult, these protests seem to have gotten the goods, so to speak: the City of Glendale announced it would, “end its agreement with…ICE to house federal immigration detainees.” All of this sets quite a scene going into Trump's military parade in DC slated for Saturday, June 14th.5. In classic fashion however, Trump's tough posture does not extend to corporate crime. Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports, “Trump's DOJ just announced American corporations that engage in criminal bribery schemes abroad will no longer be prosecuted.” Claypool cites a June 9th memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, which reads, “Effective today, prosecutors shall…not attribute…malfeasance to corporate structures.” Claypool also cites a Wall Street Journal piece noting that “the DOJ has already ended half of its criminal investigations into corporate bribery in foreign countries and shrunk its [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act] unit down to 25 employees.”6. Americans can at least take small comfort in one thing: the departure of Elon Musk from the top rungs of government. It remains to be seen what exactly precipitated his final exit and how deep his rift with Trump goes – Musk has already backed down on his harshest criticisms of the president, deleting his tweet claiming Trump was in Epstein files, per ABC. Yet, this appears to be a victory for Steve Bannon and the forces he represents within Trump's inner circle. On June 5th, the New York Times reported that Bannon, “said he was advising the president to cancel all [Musk's] contracts and… ‘initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status'.” Bannon added, “[Musk] should be deported from the country immediately.'” Bannon has even called for a special counsel probe, per the Hill. Bannon's apparent ascendency goes beyond the Oval Office as well. POLITICO Playbook reports Bannon had a 20-minute-long conversation with Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman on Monday evening – while Fetterman dined with Washington bureau chief for Breitbart, Matt Boyle – at Butterworth's, the DC MAGA “watering hole.” This also from the Hill.7. On the way out, the Daily Beast reports, “Elon Musk's goons at the Department of Government Efficiency transmitted a large amount of data—all of it undetected—using a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal they installed on top of the White House.” Sources “suggested that the [the installation of the Starlink terminal] was intended to bypass White House systems that track the transmission of data—with names and time stamps—and secure it from spies.” It is unknown exactly what data Musk and his minions absconded with, and for what purpose. We can only hope the public gets some answers.8. With Musk and Trump parting ways, other political forces are now seeking to woo the richest man in the world. Semafor reports enigmatic Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley and chaired Bernie Sanders' campaign in California, “talked with one of…Musk's ‘senior confidants' …about whether the ex-DOGE leader…might want to help the Democratic Party in the midterms.” Khanna added, “Having Elon speak out against the irrational tariff policy, against the deficit exploding Trump bill, and the anti-science and anti-immigrant agenda can help check Trump's unconstitutional administration…I look forward to Elon turning his fire against MAGA Republicans instead of Democrats in 2026.” On the other hand, the Hill reports ex-Democrat Andrew Yang is publicly appealing to Musk for an alliance following Musk's call for the establishment of an “America Party.” Yang himself founded the Forward Party in 2021. Yang indicated Musk has not responded to his overtures.9. Meanwhile, the leadership of the Democratic Party appears to be giving up entirely. In a leaked Zoom meeting, DNC Chair Ken Martin – only elected in February – said, “I don't know if I wanna do this anymore,” per POLITICO. On this call, Martin expressed frustration with DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, blaming him for, “[destroying] any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to.” Hogg meanwhile has doubled down, defying DNC leadership by “wading into another primary,” this time for the open seat left by the death of Congressman Gerry Conolly in Virginia, the Washington Post reports. The DNC is still weighing whether to void Hogg's election as Vice Chair.10. Finally, in some good news from New York City, State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani appears to have closed the gap with disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo began the race with a 40-point lead; a new Data for Progress poll shows that lead has been cut down to just two points. Moreover, that poll was conducted before Mamdani was endorsed by AOC, who is expected to bring with her substantial support from Latinos and residents of Queens, among other groups. Notably, Mamdani has racked up tremendous numbers among young men, a demographic the Democratic Party has struggled to attract in recent elections. Cuomo will not go down without a fight however. The political nepo-baby has already secured a separate ballot line for the November election, meaning he will be in the race even if he loses the Democratic primary, and he is being boosted by a new million-dollar digital ad spend by Airbnb, per POLITICO. The New York City Democratic Primary will be held on June 24th.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

The years between 1865 and 1870 would bring a tangle of new challenges for the people of the south. Drought gripped the land with merciless fingers in 1865 and 1866, only to return with cruel insistence between 1868 and 1869. Livelihoods withered, landscapes turned brittle. And yet, amid the dust and desolation, there was a glint of promise on the horizon, a hint of glitter in the forecast. British Kaffraria — that volatile strip of land east of the Kei — had been the stage for repeated wars between the British Empire and the amaXhosa. By 1866, the inevitable had come to pass: the territory was formally annexed to the Cape. This was not a popular move in the Cape Parliament. Most members balked at the idea, not out of principle, but pocket — British Kaffraria was a drain on the Treasury, propped up entirely by funds from London. The Cape, in its self-conscious autonomy, wanted no part in the bill. But Attorney General William Porter reminded his fellow parliamentarians that their indignation was selective. The Cape itself, he said, could not “talk big and look big” when its own house was being kept warm with British money. Independence in name meant little, he warned, if the machinery of government still ticked by the grace of Empire coin. But before the ink was dry on the annexation, another, more immediate matter took precedence — the fate of the amaMfengu, along with the amaNgqika and amaGqunukhwebe. The structures of amaXhosa political authority had already been dismantled within British Kaffraria. Now, as the imperial tide rolled further inland, it was the amaMfengu who found themselves repositioned — this time as subjects to be moved, their loyalty rewarded not with land, but with a fresh dislocation. Soon, the area around Butterworth became an amaMfengu stronghold. Many local amaXhosa were absorbed into their ambit — politically subdued or socially assimilated. For the British, this migration had a twofold effect. It removed thousands of Black residents from British Kaffraria, freeing up land under Crown control. And it advanced a broader goal: clearing the way for the Cape Parliament to annex the territory, albeit reluctantly and under pressure from Westminster. Just to flick the future switch for a moment — Back to the Future, in 2003, a constellation of dignitaries descended on Phokeng for the coronation of Kgosi Leruo Molotlegi of the Bafokeng. That's near Rustenberg just for clarity. Among them were Nelson Mandela, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, First Lady Zanele Mbeki, and the Queen Mother of Lesotho. A drought pressed down on the land in 2003, dry and unforgiving, but the dusty heat did little to mute the occasion's quiet grandeur. For a small nation to command such presence — to draw the gaze of the region's most prominent figures — spoke to something more than mere ceremonial gravity. It hinted at a deeper, long-cultivated influence. This is the story of how the Bafokeng came to be recognised as one of South Africa's most quietly successful peoples — not by avoiding the tides of history, but by learning, early on, how to navigate them. From their dealings with the Boers and Paul Kruger, to their survival under apartheid's grip, the Bafokeng carved a path few expected — and fewer still understood. There's an almost whispered history here, a counterpoint to the dominant narrative of dispossession and defeat. The Bafokeng lived on land of consequence long before that significance was measured in ounces of platinum. It wasn't until the metal was prised from the earth beneath their feet that the rest of the country — and eventually, the world — began to pay attention. But the roots of their agency run deeper, older. They reach back to a time when Paul Kruger was still cobbling together unity among the Voortrekkers, long before his epic confrontations with the British had begun.
