Episode 2541: Joan Williams on How the Democrats Must Win Back the American Working Class

Why are the Democrats losing the American working class? According to Joan Williams, it's because they are failing to prioritize economic concerns of working-class Americans. In her new book Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back, Williams argues that Democrats lost the 2024 election because of their over-preoccupation with the interests of college educated Americans. Williams notes significant shifts among non-college voters of color toward Republicans and believes Democrats must develop what she calls "cultural competence" to connect with working-class voters. She emphasizes that economic struggle, and not just racism, drove Trump's victory. Williams advocates for a messaging that resonates with working-class values while maintaining progressive goals on issues like climate change. Democrats, she suggests, must return to their traditional language and prioritize economic stability for all Americans if they are to win back power in 2028. Five Key Takeaways * Democrats lost working-class voters across racial groups in 2024, with significant shifts among non-college voters of color (35-point shift among Latinos and 30-point shift among Black voters) and even larger shifts among younger voters of color.* Williams argues that economic factors, not just racism, drove Trump's victory. She believes Democrats failed to prioritize inflation and economic issues that matter most to working-class Americans, focusing instead on issues that primarily resonate with college-educated elites.* The "class-culture gap" between college-educated elites and working-class Americans requires Democrats to develop "cultural competence" - understanding and connecting with the values, communication styles, and priorities of non-college educated voters.* Williams believes Democrats must center economic messaging on the principle that "anybody who works hard in America deserves a stable middle-class standard of living" while connecting progressive policies to working-class values.* Unlike some critics, Williams doesn't believe Democrats must abandon identity politics or progressive causes, but rather must present these causes in ways that connect with working-class values while prioritizing economic issues.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In this powerful episode, Rusty speaks with Safi Jiroh, Executive Director of LeaderSpring Center, to answer some of these questions.This episode delves into LeaderSpring's evolution from supporting only executive directors to creating a fellowship for women of color leaders at all levels in nonprofits. Safi discusses how the organization redesigned its curriculum to address systemic barriers and promote liberatory leadership practices while challenging unsustainable expectations in the nonprofit sector.Safi offers profound insights on what women of color bring to leadership roles, including community, empathy, lived experience, love, resilience, intuition, and truth-telling as primary contributions. The discussion tackles the current political climate where diversity, equity, and inclusion work is under attack, with Safi emphasizing the need to "fight to dream" and "fight to innovate" despite opposition. She challenges philanthropy to examine practices that create "bondage for nonprofit organizations" and to demonstrate the will to change by releasing control and embracing vulnerability.You can find all the episodes of this podcast plus our blog, toolkit and other resources at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fundthepeople.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Oakland-based graphic artist Hugh D'Andrade, author of the graphic novel “The Murder Next Door,” talks about: His first graphic novel, The Murder Next Door, including what led him to finally making a graphic novel after being a big fan of them for a long time; studying fine art at the California College of Arts and Crafts back in the 1980s, and then going back to the same school, now called simply California College of the Arts, to get a masters in graphic novels; graphic novelists who have been influential to Hugh, including Adrian Tomine from nearby Berkeley, Chris Ware, who he refers to as both a giant and a genius in the field, as well Art Spiegelman, Thi Bui (whom he had as one of his graphic novel professors), Marjane Satrapi, and Phoebe Glockner; how the graphic novelists he's met have generally been very talkative and have quirky sensibilities, but also have introverted streaks which are necessary for long stretches alone that are necessary for producing their work; how he worked on the beginning of his graphic novel while in grad school, where the crits were very nurturing and supportive, unlike crits from back in the day (undergrad); where graphic novel reading falls in our attention economy; the value he puts on the hand-drawn in comics, with modest digital intervention; and how Vipassana meditation, the first chapter of the book, played a big role in Hugh's healing journey…. [the Conversation continues for another hour in the BONUS episode for Patreon supporters] In the 2nd half of the full conversation (available to Patreon supporters), Hugh talks about: the distinction between cartooning and illustration, and how challenging it is to render a person from multiple views in that style; what feedback he's gotten so far, with at least one reader saying that it was ‘very unique,' probably meaning they found it too dark; the roll his parents played (or didn't play) in healing from his trauma (the murder the book is focused on); his trolling of conspiracy theorists on social media (which is described in the book), which came out of his reaction to people making things up about who was responsible for the murder, along with the pros and cons of engaging with a conspiracy theorist; his description of 3 or 4 major career trajectory paths for artists in big art capitals, inspired by his nephew and students and their impending career paths- the A path/A-train: rock star; B path/B train: you have a partner who has a job/supports you financially;  C path/train: artist with a day job;  D-train: you live just outside of a major city, or in a college town, or rural areas; housing in the U.S., particularly in the art capitals (a sort of passion of both of ours) and how he bought a house in East Oakland, a part of the city he had never been in and he'd been living in the East Bay for decades; how he's in a ‘coffee dessert,' meaning he needs to drive at least 10 minutes to get to a good coffee spot, leading to a beautiful paradox: as a participant in gentrifying his neighborhood, he realizes that as soon as that fancy coffee place pops up in his neighborhood, the gentrification will essentially be complete; the neighborhoods Hugh lived in in San Francisco, particularly the Mission, Hayes Valley and the Tenderloin, and their respective reputations and what he experienced living there as an older young person going to punk shows and the like; his friend Rebecca Solnit's book Hollow City, about how gentrification displaces people of color as well as creative communities; we dig quite a bit into the weeds of the housing crisis, and how he lived on the cheap in the Bay Area for years, including getting around by bike up until 10 years ago; and finally he talks about his music show highlights over the years, including his changing relationship to the Grateful Dead over the decades.

Behind every great invention is an engineer who figured out how to make it work. But how do you take an extremely technical, cutting-edge innovation and make it easy to understand and use for the public? That's where designers come in.Barry Katz is a professor emeritus of industrial design at California College of the Arts and a consulting professor at Stanford University. He is the author of the book, Make It New: A History of Silicon Valley Design, co-author of Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation, and has spent decades studying the history of design thinking and its purpose at organizations. Barry and Greg discuss the historical trajectory of design in tech, how engineers and designers began collaborating in the 1980s, and the role of design in transforming technologies into user-friendly products. The conversation also covers the interdisciplinary nature of design, the impact of design thinking on various industries, and Barry's latest book detailing the application of design principles in healthcare. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:You don't have to be a designer to think like one31:47: You don't have to be a designer to think like one. And in fact, you probably don't want to become a designer. But over the course of this rather remarkable few decades, designers have learned a lot of tricks, and they're basically tricks. And many of those tricks can be learned by entrepreneurs, lawyers, physicians, which is what we dealt with in our most recent book. And it's not turning them into designers; it's giving them tools to solve their problems in medicine, law, engineering, or wherever, in something like the way that designers solve their problems.Why design thrives like an ecosystem19:17: So what is the connector between the internal combustion engine and the car, between the printed circuit board and the lamp? It's design. So, in the course of that, designers have had to learn a whole lot of new skills, new tricks. That's where design thinking has played, I think, an important role, which may be drawing to a close. They've learned to integrate the behavioral sciences. They've learned how to talk to technical people. There's no doubt that it is an ongoing challenge.Designers shape experiences, not just products25:40: We don't want products to fail people. Now, a refrigerator is one thing, but then, when you are starting not just to approach a large appliance in your kitchen but to put it in your pocket, your kid's backpack, or a contact lens—which is to deliver insulin to a diabetic, which Google X is working on—then your tolerance for a bad experience vanishes. And it is a bit of a hackneyed thing to say, but the role of designers has been to create an experience.Design isn't about knowing everything, it's about knowing who to ask27:15: What happens when you have an exposure to the way anthropologists approach a problem, or economists, or linguists, or whoever it might be, is not that you become one or you acquire that level of professionalism, but you know who to ask. And you've heard an entirely new inventory of questions that may not have occurred to you in the past but are now on your agenda.  And you either acquire a sufficient level of professional skill to answer those questions, or you now know who to ask. Show Links:Recommended Resources:Moore's Law The Microma Silicon Valley (TV series) Alphonse Chapanis Larry Page Franz von HolzhausenDeepSeekNatasha Jen: Design Thinking is Bullsh*tGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at California College of the ArtsFaculty Profile at Stanford UniversityProfessional Profile on LinkedInHis Work:Make It New: A History of Silicon Valley DesignChange by Design, Revised and Updated: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode Emily interviews artist and singer Mary Graham about her journey from drawing as a child, to painting in high school and eventually moving to the Bay Area to study at the California College of the Arts. Mary discusses her recent residencies in Maine and Colorado, and exhibitions at the Berkeley Art Center and Jonathan Carver Moore Gallery. She delves into her impactful 'brown paper bag' series, which explores themes of colorism inspired by her father's stories and broader research. Mary also reflects on influential works by artists like David Hammonds and Betty Saar, and shares her inspiration drawn from the streets of San Francisco. The episode highlights Mary's creative process, community experiences, and the significant role of the emerging artists program at the Museum of the African Diaspora in her career.About Artist Mary Graham :Mary W.D. Graham an interdisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture, and vocal performance. Utilizing art-making methods rooted in traditional techniques, she studies the notion of “the ancestors” as a conceptual medium through which historical, interpersonal, and introspective insight might be gained.Her conceptual development originates from the veneration of her own lineage, an off-shoot of the African American spiritual tradition of ancestor worship. The work expands to encompass themes of generational love, collective human origin, our relationship to history, and our relationship to the future (the unknown). Working primarily in figuration and portraiture, she utilizes a level of precision in her representation. Her compositions are minimal; the subtlety of the substrate, or the intentional application of color intend for focus to be drawn to the subject. The subtlety of this approach is meant to provide a contemplative environment in which significance might be derived. These aesthetic philosophies of simplicity, stillness, and precision are applied to her performance work as well, which is rooted in her training as a classical vocalist. Here, the human voice is utilized as a kind of clarion. The haunting melodies are structured to slowly fill space and time, drawing viewers in so that they might share in what manifests from the collective experience of song.Mary was born in 2000 and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania amongst a family of artists. She attended California College of the Arts where she received her BFA in Individualized Studies in 2022. Her travels for arts and cultural exchange have taken her around the globe to Mexico, Japan, Kenya, South Africa, Peru, Morocco, Indonesia, and India.Graham has been exhibiting, collaborating and performing nationally since 2006. She was a commissioned artist for projects at Burning Man from 2019 through 2023, performed at the Institute of Contemporary Art + San Francisco in 2022, and in 2024, opened her first solo exhibition at Museum of the African Diaspora as part of their Emerging Artist's Program. Graham's work has been covered by CBS News, 48hills and the MoAD Journal. She has been awarded residencies with Black [Space] Residency in San Francisco, California; Haystack Mountain School of Craft in Deer Isle, Maine; and Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado.Visit Mary's Website:  MaryDGraham.comFollow  on Instagram:  @Mary.Graham.ArtTo learn more about the Beatiful Scars Exhibit at Jonathan Carver Moore CLICK HERE.For more on Archives Yet To Come at the Berkeley Art Center, CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Jorge Arango is an information architect, author, and educator. For the past three decades, he has used architectural thinking to bring clarity and direction to digital projects for clients ranging from non-profits to Fortune 500 companies. He's the author of Duly Noted: Extend Your Mind Through Connected Notes, Living in Information: Responsible Design for Digital Places, co-author of Information Architecture: for the Web and Beyond, and host of The Informed Life podcast. Besides consulting, writing, and podcasting, Jorge also teaches in the graduate interaction design program at the California College of the Arts.In our conversation, we discuss:* How AI is becoming a transformational technology for UX design, akin to the emergence of the web decades ago.* The limitations of AI, emphasizing its role in augmenting human work rather than replacing it.* Jorge's experiences with AI in both the research phase and content taxonomy applications for information architecture.* Tips for understanding and integrating AI tools into UX workflows, moving beyond chat-based interfaces like ChatGPT.* The importance of approaching AI with curiosity and seeing it as a way to enhance, rather than disrupt, traditional workflows.Jorge recently released a self-driven course for folks wanting to learn about information architecture.Some takeaways:* AI tools are best used to enhance human efficiency, allowing professionals to perform tasks at greater scale and speed. For instance, large website analysis becomes more feasible with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques, enabling quicker insights without compromising accuracy.* Not all AI tools are suitable for every UX process. Effective use requires tailoring tools to specific phases, such as research or content taxonomy, and understanding their strengths and limitations, like context window sizes or text-based limitations.* AI's potential is often misunderstood due to hype or fear. Developing a hands-on relationship with AI tools dispels misconceptions, revealing their actual capabilities and boundaries, such as their reliance on user input for quality output.* Rather than delegating entire tasks to AI, think of it as a collaborative editor. Prompts like “What am I missing?” can provide fresh perspectives on drafts or reports, enhancing the final product without diluting human expertise.* Viewing AI through a lens of opportunity rather than threat helps professionals integrate it constructively into workflows. This involves learning about non-chat-based AI tools and exploring new use cases, fostering innovation and efficiency in UX practices.Where to find Jorge:* Website: https://jarango.com* LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jarango* Twitter/X: https://x.com/jarangoInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

Dean's Chat hosts, Drs. Jensen and Richey, welcome Dr. Lawrence Ford, currently practicing in Kaiser Permanente Oakland Hospital. Dr. Ford has had an exceptional career in podiatric surgery. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of California, Irvine. He went on to complete his Podiatric Medical School degree with California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco, California. He then went on to do a three-year surgical residency program with Northwest Podiatric Foundation -Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, WA. Join us as we hear about his experience working with Dr. Sigvard T. Hansen at Harborview Medical Center. Listen, as we discuss the history of how relationship building fostered a collaboration between orthopedics and podiatry to progress the field of podiatric surgery for resident education. He discussed how transparency and excellence helped to foster new opportunities and practice with his full scope and capacity. Dr. Ford has served in multiple leadership roles, his most recent contributions as part of the education committee for the AO Basic and Advanced course development, past Residency director for the Kaiser Permanente SF Bay Area foot and Ankle residency program, previous department chair for podiatric surgery, ABFAS oral exam committee and communications committee. He has lectured at multiple ACFAS events and other national meetings in the topics of podiatric surgery, Trauma and reconstruction. Listen as he discusses the importance of research and how it helped impact his career to work with the residents and the residency program and scratch the itch of asking curiosity questions. Dr. Ford focuses his treatment philosophy around, evaluating the root cause from a biomechanical and functional etiology, and then focusing treatment on that cause as he says treating the symptoms without regard for the etiology, leads to frustration. He has a particular interest in mechanical engineering, especially how faulty mechanics can impact muscle imbalance and have progressive development of foot ankle pain. As Dr. Richey's former residency director he had an direct impact on her own career and now as her friend and mentor, she gives some touching remarks about her gratitude to him for both large transformational lessons as well as small but highly impactful moments.  In his time away from the podiatric profession Dr. Ford enjoys seeking time outdoors, including a variety of hiking camping, backpacking, kayaking, and backcountry skiing as well as being an avid Tottenham soccer fan!

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with Troy Lamarr Chew II, a talented painter with an ongoing exhibition at San Francisco's Altman Siegel gallery. Troy pursued his passion for art, eventually studying at the California College of the Arts and receiving a prestigious residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts. His recent work explores invisibility,  inspired by his time as an Uber driver. His work can be seen in notable museums and galleries. Troy  discusses his artistic journey, influences, and unique approach to language and representation in his art.About Artist Troy Lamarr Chew II :Troy Lamarr Chew II explores the legacy of the African Diaspora and its reverberations throughout American culture. His work looks methodically at systems of coded communication and how this is translated and mistranslated both within the Diaspora and the mainstream.Chew's rich artistic visual language draws inspiration largely from Black culture and its history. A highly skilled realist, inspired by European painting techniques, Chew uses these art historical traditions to reframe their exclusion of Blackness. In his Out the Mud series, hand dyed and sewn cloths from West Africa are replicated in a trompe l'oeil fashion, their patterns “torn” away to reveal portrayals of contemporary Black culture and resistance. In another series, Slanguage, the artist paints Flemish style vanitas picturing everyday objects, coded in hip-hop lexicon. His Three Crowns series explores the social history of cosmetic dentistry and the use of grills in hip-hop culture. The artist's lush and luminous oil paintings embody the energy of this infinitely re-mixed yet deeply rooted genre.In 2020, Chew was awarded the prestigious Tournesol Residency at Headlands Center for the Arts after becoming a Graduate Fellow from California College of the Arts, San Francisco in 2018. Solo exhibitions include The Roof is on Fire, Altman Siegel, San Francisco, CA (2022), Yadadamean, CULT Aimee Friberg Exhibitions, San Francisco, CA (2020); Fuck the King's Horses and all the King's Men, Parker Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2020); WWJZD, Cushion Works, San Francisco, CA (2019) and Stunt 101, Guerrero Gallery, San Francisco, CA (2019).

From Chronic Pain to Passion

Welcome back, dear listener. In today's episode, I got to chat with someone I've admired from afar for a long time, Whitney Rydman.   I first came across Whitney some years ago, when I was early in my recovery from migraine and I was binging Nicole Sachs's podcast, which is called The Cure for Chronic Pain. Whitney was a guest who came on the podcast to talk about her own personal recovery from pelvic pain. She had such an engaging and inspiring voice that I wanted to know more, so I followed her on Instagram, as one does. And I eventually learned that Whitney is not only an incredible person who talks about her own healing in a relatable and uplifting way, she's also the amazing graphic designer behind the websites and social media branding of many well-known names in the chronic pain recovery world, including Nicole Sachs, Alan Gordon, the Curable app and more.   But she didn't start out in the mind-body world. Whitney studied graphic design at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco and shortly after college, she was recruited as the lead designer for Jamba Juice, applying her hand-lettering and illustration skills as part of her design work for all their in-store collateral. Other brands she's worked on include Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Williamns-Sonoma. But after working as a corporate designer in the retail space for over 15 years, she reached a point of burnout and her body let her know. She discovered what she was experiencing was TMS — or mind-body chronic symptoms — and she was amazed at the results of using neuroplasticity in her recovery. Since then, she became passionate about using her design experience to service experts in the mind body space.   Whitney also winds up coaching her design clients on what has become my favorite topic lately: How the entrepreneurship journey totally mirrors the mind-body healing journey, with all of its ups and downs, leaps forward and setbacks, and I can't wait to share with you our conversation about it!    You can find Whitney at: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.design.remedy/ Website: https://thedesignremedy.com/   And you can find me at: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@anna_holtzman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: anna@annaholtzman.com Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.annaholtzman.com⁠ Journaling Course: www.annaholtzman.com/writingtorelease --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/from-chronic-pain-to-pass/support

Dr. Nathan Ivey comes from the Pacific Northwest and is from a family of 10. He got his podiatry degree from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in 1999. Eventually, the lack of sun got to him and his wife, so they uprooted and moved down to New Mexico, where he has been in practice ever since. His specialty is in rearfoot and ankle reconstruction, but he is also adept at using orthotics to correct issues that would otherwise require surgery. He is a business owner who is familiar with the stresses and obstacles involved in running a practice and taking over a practice. Over the years, he has built a sense of resiliency into his entrepreneurial style—something we can all learn from.

His practice has been forged out of the trials and tribulations of moving several states away, taking over a practice, holding his own against hospitals, and actually having to fly across New Mexico to commute between two practices. His story is one of legend—and, like many legends, we can learn a lesson or two from it.

This Day in Legal History: Lend-Lease ActOn October 30, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved an unprecedented $1 billion in aid to support Allied forces fighting in World War II, marking a critical milestone under the Lend-Lease Act. This act, passed earlier in March 1941, allowed the United States to provide essential military supplies to countries whose defense was deemed vital to U.S. interests, even as the U.S. maintained a stance of non-engagement. By authorizing such substantial aid, Roosevelt helped secure critical resources for Allies, particularly the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, who were facing significant challenges against Axis powers. The agreement transformed the U.S. from a neutral party to an "arsenal of democracy," emphasizing its commitment to the Allies while avoiding direct involvement in combat. Lend-Lease assistance encompassed a range of support, from food and raw materials to airplanes, ships, and ammunition. This aid was instrumental in sustaining Allied resistance, as it enabled countries like Britain to continue fighting even as they faced severe shortages. The success of the Lend-Lease program also laid the groundwork for formal alliances and collaborative military strategies between the U.S. and the Allied nations. While the U.S. would formally enter the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the Lend-Lease Act solidified its role as a major force in the global conflict.The Lend-Lease Act ultimately expanded beyond initial estimates, with over $50 billion in supplies and support sent to Allied nations by the war's end, demonstrating the scale of U.S. support. This historic decision on October 30 marked the beginning of the U.S.'s active yet indirect involvement in World War II, shaping not only the course of the war but also the post-war geopolitical landscape, where the U.S. emerged as a primary superpower.Nishad Singh, former FTX engineering director, will be sentenced Wednesday for his role in the collapse of FTX, where his former boss, Sam Bankman-Fried, misappropriated $8 billion in customer funds. Singh previously pled guilty to six felony counts, cooperating with prosecutors as a witness in Bankman-Fried's fraud trial, where Bankman-Fried received a 25-year sentence. Singh admitted to involvement in FTX's fraud and participation as a “straw donor” in political donations made by Bankman-Fried. Prosecutors have recommended leniency for Singh, who they say joined the conspiracy late and provided significant assistance, while his lawyers seek no prison time. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who sentenced another FTX executive, Caroline Ellison, to two years for her role, will make the final decision. Singh testified he confronted Bankman-Fried about FTX's financial shortfall in September 2022, though Bankman-Fried assured him they could cover the losses.Bankman-Fried's ex-deputy Singh to be sentenced over crypto fraud | ReutersThe University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, has reported a 64% surge in applicants this year, attributed partly to Vice President Kamala Harris, an alumna currently running for president. The school, formerly known as UC Hastings College of the Law, has received 633 applications, a significant increase from last year's 385, and almost double the 33% rise in the national law school applicant pool. Dean David Faigman noted that many applicants are inspired by Harris's legal career, which she highlights in her campaign. As a public institution, the law school cannot endorse political candidates, but it prominently features Harris on its website with content about her time there. This trend mirrors a 33% increase in applications the school experienced in 2020 after Harris joined Joe Biden's presidential ticket. Legal experts suggest that both Harris's candidacy and the early application process this year have contributed to the heightened interest in law school.Kamala Harris' law school reports an applicant surge as election nears | ReutersThe FDA faces scrutiny over its process for declaring drug shortages after reversing its decision on the availability of Eli Lilly's popular weight-loss drug, tirzepatide. Due to high demand for such weight-loss treatments, compounding pharmacies have produced lower-cost versions of the drug, marketed by Lilly under Mounjaro and Zepbound, while it was in short supply. The FDA's decision to declare the tirzepatide shortage resolved, after confirming increased supply with Lilly, prompted a lawsuit from the Outsourcing Facilities Association and a compounding pharmacy, FarmaKeio, arguing the FDA's decision lacked transparency and public input. The plaintiffs claim the FDA's methods are unclear, especially since the law allows compounded versions of a drug only when a shortage is officially recognized. Attorneys argue that without clear guidelines on when shortages end, compounded alternatives may become less accessible, affecting patients who rely on affordable options. This case also comes amid broader judicial scrutiny of federal agency authority, as recent court rulings challenge long-standing deference to agency discretion. To avoid further legal conflicts, the FDA requested to reassess its shortage determination process, allowing for public input and additional data on tirzepatide availability.Demand for Obesity Drug Copycats Pressures FDA's Shortage ReviewNew York City has officially decriminalized jaywalking, allowing pedestrians to cross streets outside of crosswalks and against traffic signals without risk of a fine, which previously could reach up to $300. Historically, jaywalking laws were used disproportionately against Black and Latino residents, a key factor motivating the City Council's recent decision. Proponents argue that the new law will reduce unnecessary policing of a practice most New Yorkers see as routine, with some considering jaywalking integral to the city's culture. However, the change comes amid rising pedestrian fatalities; nearly 200 jaywalking-related deaths have occurred over five years. Critics worry the law will make streets less safe, while city officials stress that pedestrians should remain cautious and use marked crossings when possible. The law will go into effect in 120 days, accompanied by a public safety campaign.Jaywalking Is a New York Tradition. Now It's Legal, Too. This is a public episode.

Interview begins: 3:40 In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, Dr. John Price hosts Ayize Jama-Everett for a discussion on spirituality, religion, cultural identity, and the pervasive impact of colonization. Ayize shares insights from his journey, beginning with how his roots in Harlem and his work within the psychedelic space have shaped his perspective on community, healing, and cultural reclamation. Together, they examine how long-established cultural dynamics continue to influence our lives, often without our conscious awareness. Ayize discusses his efforts to influence these dynamics at a cultural level, reflecting on religious and spiritual practices as tools for both personal and collective transformation. They also explore the complexities of whiteness—not only as a cultural identity shaped by colonization but as an orientation that often perpetuates colonizing behaviors toward other cultures. Ayize shares the purpose behind his documentary, A Table of Our Own, which aims to expand access to healing practices for Black people and to highlight the important work already being done within these communities. The project seeks to de-stigmatize these substances, reframing them as natural balms that have served as spiritual and psychological support for Black people over millennia. The conversation touches on Black joy, the importance of reconnecting with land-based spiritual practices, and the need to decolonize healing spaces. Ayize's reflections offer a fresh lens on the healing power of connection, inspiring listeners to consider how we might engage in reclaiming and honoring our spiritual and cultural roots. Bio: Ayize Jama-Everett holds three Master's degrees: Divinity, Psychology, and in Fine Arts, Writing. He blends these degrees in all his work, often identifying as a guerilla theologian, a community-based therapist, and an afro-futurist in the same breath. He's taught at Starr King School for the Ministry, California College of the Arts, The University of California, Riverside, Western Colorado College, and several private High schools for over twenty years. His expertise includes working with adolescents, the history of substance use in the United States, the history of Sacred Plant medicines in the Maghreb, the religious roots of political violence from Ireland to the Middle East, educational arts pedagogy, and Afrofuturism. He's published four novels (The Liminal series) and two graphic novels (Box of Bones and The Last Count of Monte Cristo). www.atableofourown.org Website for The Sacred Speaks: www.thesacredspeaks.com/ WATCH: YouTube for The Sacred Speaks www.youtube.com/channel/UCOAuksnpfht1udHWUVEO7Rg Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesacredspeaks/ @thesacredspeaks Twitter: twitter.com/thesacredspeaks Facebook: www.facebook.com/thesacredspeaks/ Brought to you by: www.thecenterforhas.com/ Theme music provided by: www.modernnationsmusic.com/

Dean's Chat hosts Drs. Jeffrey Jensen and Johanna Richey,  welcome Dr. Ronald Ray DPM, who currently practices in Great Falls Montana. Dr. Ray completed his undergraduate degree at California State University at Long Beach with a Bachelors of Science in Physical Therapy. He worked as a Physical Therapist for several years and ultimately became interested in podiatry from his interest in the mechanics of the lower extremity.   Through his work, he explored podiatric medicine and decided to return for his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree obtained from the California College of Podiatric Medicine.  He went on to complete his surgical residency training at one of the top programs in the country at Waldo Podiatric Surgical Residency Program in Seattle Washington (now known as the Swedish residency program). Here he was introduced to many of his mentors. It was through his training he met Dr. Sig Hansen MD with Harborview Medical Center and had the privilege of doing an AO Fellowship with him.   Listen, as we hear his experience of working with Dr. Hanson and the beautiful lessons that he learned watching a master of surgery. Join us as we discuss all things podiatric medicine and surgery as we discuss Dr. Ray's many service opportunities.   Dr. Ray discusses what it means to be involved with professional organizations. As a past president of the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery as well as leader in the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (serving on many different committee including: Annual Scientific meeting, Leadership Development Committee and Surgical Skills Committee).  Dr. Ray is no stranger to advancing our profession in the education world. His continued dedication and service are predicated on his passion, which is clear as you hear him speak.  Dr. Ray discusses tricks to elevate speaking in public which our students will surely benefit. Tune in, as he discusses his mentors, Dr. Jeffrey Christensen DPM and Richard Bouche DPM, who helped encourage him to take on lecture opportunities and get engaged in the profession. He provides great wisdom and tips into stretching your comfort zone and being willing to jump in and take the leap into the unknown. His physical therapist framework of learning and developing a skill set-verbalizing, and saying lectures out loud to develop proprioception and muscle memory to improve public speaking are fascinating!  Dr. Ray has been integral in the development of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons collaboration with the AO Foundation to build the curriculum for the Advanced Principles Course for Foot and Ankle Trauma and Surgery. He talks about how this collaborative effort has been a harmonious, but delicate balance of earning trust and maintaining the highest standards to propel our profession forward.   If you are interested in more information about how to join the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons or the AO North America https://www.aofoundation.org/aona/engage-with-us/Become-a-member https://www.acfas.org/membership/joinrenew  To find upcoming AO-ACFAS courses:  https://www.aofoundation.org/aona/our-community/DPM/DPM-courses-and-events#sortCriteria=%40startdate%20ascending&f-speciality=DPM https://www.acfas.org/education-professional-development/educationcalendar

She also revealed that her research was funded by a grant from the Bureau of Cannabis Control in California, which allowed her team to obtain data from retailers without having to purchase cannabis for research purposes.Connie also discussed the analysis of a large dataset on retail sales, focusing on the purchasing patterns of customers with loyalty cards. They noted that this approach allowed them to study legal sales without the complications of obtaining permission to use products on human subjects. They also touched on the issue of obtaining products for research due to legal restrictions, with Connie clarifying that their campus does not cultivate cannabis. The conversation then shifted to the research conducted on the effects of cannabidiol and THC on driving performance, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and stress responses among older adults.Connie also discussed the challenges and progress of research on cannabis. Connie explained that while research papers are published in journals as soon as possible, studies involving human subjects are facing delays due to bureaucratic hurdles and the need for extensive oversight.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with Ceramic Sculptor Wanxin Zhang...Wanxin discusses his journey from studying art in China, his move to America, and the influence of prominent Bay Area artists on his work. He shares how artists like Robert Arneson and Viola Frey helped shift his perception of ceramics from craft to fine art. Wanxin's sculptures, which blend historical references with contemporary culture, are showcased in several prestigious museums and galleries. He recounts his early inspiration from his mother and the pivotal moment he decided to move to the U.S. Wanxin also talks about how changing his medium from metal to clay allowed him to express his identity and cultural heritage more profoundly.About Artist Wanxin Zhang:Wanxin Zhang was born and educated in China. He graduated from the prestigious LuXun Academy of Fine Art in Sculpture in 1985. In 1992, after Zhang established his art career as a sculptor in China, he relocated to San Francisco with his family and received his Master in Fine Arts from the Academy of Art University. Zhang had been on the faculty of the Academy of Art University, Department of Art Practice at University of California, Berkeley and California College of The Art in Oakland, and the San Francisco Art Institute. Zhang's sculptures represent a marriage between historical references and a contemporary cultural context; they carry messages of social and political commentary. His work is deeply influenced by the Bay Area figurative movement and artists such at Peter Voulkos and Stephen De Staebler. As a studio sculptor and educator, Zhang was the first place recipient of the Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant in 2006 and the Joan Mitchell Grant in 2004. His sculptures have been shown in San Francisco,  Santa Fe, Miami, Seattle, Palm Desert and New York City. In 2007, his pieces were part of the 22nd UBE Sculpture Biennial in Japan; in 2008, his sculpture was selected by the Taipei Ceramics Biennial in Taiwan; and in 2013, he was part of the Da Tong's 2nd International Sculpture Biennial in China. Zhang had his first solo art museum show at the University of Wyoming Art Museum in 2006, with solo museum exhibitions following at the Arizona State University Art Museum, Boise Art Museum in Idaho, Fresno Art Museum in California, The Alden B. Dow Museum of Science & Art in Michigan, Bellevue Arts Museum in Washington, and Holter Museum of Art in Montana. His works have been selected to be included in Confrontational Ceramics by Judith Schwartz, and can be found in major art magazines such as "Art News," "Art in America," "Sculpture," and "American Ceramics." Zhang has many public collections, and his private collectors are located both nationally and internationally. In 2012, the San Francisco Chronicle picked Zhang's exhibition at the Richmond Art Center to be one of the Top 10 Exhibitions in the San Francisco Bay Area.Visit Wanxin's Website:  WanxinZhang.comFollow Wanxin on Instagram:  @WxZhang25For more about M is for Water at the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art in Napa, CLICK HERE. For more about the Spirit House exhibition at Stanford University, CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

In this podcast we meet CIIS student Lucian Dante Lazar to discuss his research at the intersections of spirituality and the arts, aiming towards the cultivation of a holistic science of creative becoming inspired by Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy. We discuss esoteric approaches towards a pedagogy of creative education based upon experimental methods of radical freedom and epistemologies of spiritual identity. Lucien Dante Lazar (b. June 24th, 1994 in Evanston, IL) is an interdisciplinary artist whose praxis is founded in the intersections of art, science, and spirituality. He received his BA from Bard College (2016), his MFA from California College of the Arts (2020), and is currently working on his PhD in the Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness program at California Institute of Integral Studies. His dissertation will concern the pedagogy of spiritual development through the diversity of the arts. Art, for Lucien Dante Lazar, is a deeply introspective and spiritual process. As a result, his work is both intimate and universal, both for the individual human being as well as for humanity as a whole. His paintings, music, sculptures, poetry, prose, as well as his interpersonal creative therapies are opportunities for healing and profound, transformative reflection. “My ultimate goal as an artist is to discover, through art, the meaning of the human being, and through this creative process, to encounter and cultivate the reality of freedom.” Lazar said. “For me, an artwork may be witnessed as a being born of, and in service to, the development of human consciousness. The more a work of art is imbued with the wide awake consciousness of humanity, the more it is capable of inviting the human being who witnesses it into a sense of one's own universality.” Lazar utilizes many mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture, and a plethora of fiber arts. He also works as a poet, an essayist, and a multi-disciplinary musician. Additionally, Lazar incorporates various therapeutic healing modalities and meditative practices into his work, which he describes under the term spiritual bodywork. Each individual work of art Lazar creates lives within this multi-dimensional creative context.

Dr. Dan interviews Elizabeth Brunner, the Founder and CEO of StereoType, a disruptive kids' fashion brand that aims to break free from traditional gendered clothing by creating what she coined as "blended fashion" — a mix of girl and boy esthetics that are equal in value and defined by no one.  On this episode, Dr. Dan and Elizabeth discuss why parents need to give their kids space to be themselves, gender-free fashion, conscious parenting and more. Elizabeth was inspired to start StereoType after often watching her young twins joyfully break the rules of traditional dressing by wearing pieces from each others' closets to create their own unique blended fashion style that authentically represented who they are and how they wanted to dress. StereoType offers a wide range of gender-free clothing and accessories for children ages 4-14, enabling them to express themselves through their wardrobe choices without being limited by societal expectations, limits, and stereotypes. StereoType is the second disruptive fashion company Elizabeth has started. After studying fashion design at California College of the Arts, she found herself at odds with wasteful fashion industry standards. This led her to launch her first fashion business Piece x Piece, a pioneering line of one-of-a-kind, high-end garments that reused discarded sample swatches and leftover fabric from larger fashion houses that would typically be sent to landfill.   For more information visit www.stereotypekids.com.
