New York City is on fire—figuratively and politically. Days before ICE launched sweeping raids across Manhattan, reporters caught the growing tension in the streets. Then came the crackdown: federal agents storming Canal Street as social media blew up with leaked raid locations. What followed was total chaos—protesters flooding the courthouse, mobs surrounding ICE units, objects thrown, chants echoing through the city. Judge Jeanine Pirro breaks it all down, exposing the raw truth behind what's really happening in America's so-called “sanctuary city.”But that's not all—while ICE ramps up enforcement, NYC politics are imploding. Socialist frontrunner Zohran Mamdani is leading the mayoral race with a radical platform: taxing “whiter” neighborhoods, legalizing prostitution, and pushing government-run grocery stores. Even De Blasio's jumping in to defend it. We'll show how these plans could wreck the economy—and how other cities already tried and failed.And later: the EBT fallout. Viral videos of angry citizens warning Trump not to touch benefits, and insiders revealing the real story behind America's growing dependency crisis. Plus—our FAX BLAST calls on Congress to end attacks on ICE and prosecute those who target federal agents. It's bold, unfiltered, and urgent. Tune in today—this is one episode you can't afford to miss.

George Washington Arrives in Depopulated New York City, Debating the Burning of the Rebel AnchorProfessor Benjamin L. Carp, Professor of History at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center | The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution In spring 1776, George Washington arrived in New York City, the colonies' second-largest town, finding it small (25,000 people) and politically divided. Two-thirds of the population had fled anticipating conflict. Washington controlled the urbanized area south of Canal Street, occupied by his Continental Army, which he described as ill-disciplined. Before the fire, Washington privately believed burning the city was a good idea to deprive the British of winter quarters. The central question remains: was the fire accidental or by design?

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est le nom de notre série d'été sur RFI. On vous emmène explorer les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde. Aujourd'hui, direction le Chinatown de New York, l'un des plus vieux au monde. Situé dans le sud de Manhattan, il fait face de nos jours à de nombreux défis. Entre les aléas de la politique internationale des États-Unis et les projets de développement locaux, ses habitants tentent malgré tout de préserver leur communauté. Arriver à Chinatown le matin, c'est arriver dans un quartier qui se réveille en douceur. Dans une ville où tout va vite, ce quartier semble parfois suspendu dans le temps. « Là, on est devant le tout premier immeuble d'appartements de New York, vieux de plus de 200 ans. » Grace Young connaît Chinatown comme personne. Celle que les médias ont surnommée la « reine du wok », pour son expertise de la cuisine chinoise, nous a donné rendez-vous sur Mott Street, là où tout a commencé : « Les premiers à avoir vécu ici étaient les immigrés irlandais, puis les Italiens, et ensuite les juifs. Et ce n'est probablement qu'à la fin des années 1800 que les premiers Chinois sont arrivés. » À New York, Chinatown a toujours été l'une des destinations les plus prisées des touristes. Mais marcher dans les rues aujourd'hui révèle une autre histoire. « On tourne à gauche sur Canal Street. Au loin, vous voyez Lung Moon Bakery, qui a fermé durant la pandémie de Covid-19. Là, il y avait un marché et maintenant, c'est un horrible magasin de souvenirs ''I Love New York'', qui n'apporte absolument rien au quartier », raconte Grace Young. Durant la pandémie de Covid, l'économie de Chinatown a été durement touchée. Des dizaines de commerces ont fermé. Ceux qui existent encore font face à de nombreux défis. « Nous entrons dans Grand Tea Imports », indique Karen Liu. Ses parents ont ouvert ce magasin il y a plus de 20 ans. Elle ajoute : « Vous remarquerez que les étagères sont pleines à craquer. On a du thé, des théières, des tasses mais aussi de l'encens et des objets traditionnels qu'on importe de Chine. » À lire aussiDroits de douane: les États-Unis prolongent de 90 jours la détente avec la Chine Ces derniers mois, ils n'ont qu'une chose en tête : comment survivre aux taxes douanières imposées par les États-Unis ? Karen Liu confie : « Chinatown ne peut pas exister sans les importations chinoises. On est aussi un quartier populaire, donc on essaie de garder nos prix abordables. Donc, même 30% de droits de douane, cela pèse énormément sur nos marges qui sont déjà très très faibles. » En plus de la guerre commerciale, Chinatown doit faire face à la gentrification qui ne cesse de faire flamber les loyers. La famille d'Alice Choi-Barrick possède une société de distribution de fruits et légumes. Après 40 ans dans le quartier, ils ont dû abandonner leurs locaux. « La pandémie a évidemment tout changé. Quand les autres commerces qu'on fournit en produits ont fermé, on a perdu des clients. Et cela nous a mis dans une situation financière délicate. Nous n'avons pas eu le choix et nous avons déménagé dans un entrepôt dans le Queens », explique-t-elle.  Comme Alice et sa famille, ils sont nombreux à s'installer dans les Chinatown du Queens ou de Brooklyn. Le Chinatown de Manhattan, lui, compte désormais moins de 30 000 habitants d'origine chinoise. Une réalité contre laquelle se bat Grace Young, qui espère préserver ces quartiers historiques : « Ces quartiers nous lient à notre passé.

638. Part 1 of our interview with Lori Peek about her book, The Continuing Storm, which she wrote with Kai Erikson. More than fifteen years later, Hurricane Katrina maintains a strong grip on the American imagination. The reason is not simply that Katrina was an event of enormous scale. But, quite apart from its lethality and destructiveness, Katrina retains a place in living memory because it is one of the most telling disasters in our recent national experience, revealing important truths about our society and ourselves. The Continuing Storm reflects upon what we have learned about Katrina and about America. Kai Erikson and Lori Peek expand our view of the disaster by assessing its ongoing impact on individual lives and across the wide-ranging geographies where displaced New Orleanians landed after the storm. Such an expanded view, the authors argue, is critical for understanding the human costs of catastrophe across time and space. Concluding with a broader examination of disasters in the years since Katrina—including COVID-19— The Continuing Storm is a sobering meditation on the duration of a catastrophe that continues to exact steep costs in human suffering.

The college steadily grew and two dormitories were built on new property in 1832 and 1837. The West Wing, the latter of these two buildings, remains today.     After less than 20 years, the College of Louisiana closed because of declining enrollment. Suffering similar problems was the Methodist/Episcopal-operated Centenary College at Brandon Springs, Mississippi (established in 1839).     Centenary then moved to the vacant campus of the College of Louisiana. Since the all-male student bodies of the two institutions were effectively combined, the school succeeded with the name Centenary College of Louisiana now owned and operated by the Methodist/Episcopal Church South.

Canal Street in New Orleans has a long history of fashion, culture, nightlife and great food. For decades it was a main stop for New Orleans visitors and families alike. In recent years, Canal Street has lost a bit of its glimmer. Sandra Herman is the founder of the Celebrate Canal! Coalition, a citizen-led coalition aimed at revitalizing Canal Street. This week, Herman talks about why it's important to bring people back to Canal Street and how her team is determined to make that happen.

Sandra Herman from Celebrate Canal has been working to revitalize Canal Street. We spend some time with her talking about how the efforts are going.

Send us a textDigital artist Efdot takes us on a journey through the evolving landscape of crypto art and his creative process, revealing how he navigated from traditional beginnings to becoming a voice in the Web3 art movement.The conversation opens with Efdot's origin story – how digital tools were already part of his creative workflow before discovering the blockchain, using his iPad to design large-scale murals by drawing over photographs of walls. When he discovered people collecting digital art with the same reverence as physical pieces, he saw an opportunity to share his backlog of digital work with the right audience.Efdot paints a vivid picture of today's Web3 art scene, particularly in New York City where hundreds of artists are forming genuine communities around digital creation. "Before Web3, I didn't fit into the New York art scene," he explains. "Now there's real support and infrastructure being built." Looking forward, he envisions more institutional recognition through museum exhibitions, pointing to Refik Anadol's MoMA installation as a turning point for public perception of digital art.What truly sets Efdot's work apart is his approach to physical editions. Rather than simple reproductions, his screen prints create unique interpretations through layered inks that produce sculptural depth and unexpected color interactions. He treats these physical pieces as a premium tier distinct from digital editions, shipping them with certificates of authenticity.The conversation takes a personal turn as Efdot shares his mantra – "let go" – and his perfect cadence for releasing work: something substantial every 6-8 months, with smaller experiments every 1-2 months. His advice for artists entering the space resonates deeply: find communities you're passionate about and don't try to be everywhere at once.Don't miss Efdot's upcoming exhibition at the Canal Street show as part of the Subjective Art Fair, and watch for his two new collections launching soon. Follow his journey as he continues to bridge physical and digital art worlds with thoughtful creation and community-building.https://x.com/EfdotStudioSupport the show

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Janno Lieber, the chairman and CEO of New York's MTA, one of the world's oldest, largest, and most complex public transit systems. “New York is my passion,” Lieber says, and the throughline of his career.   Lieber, a lifelong New Yorker, business leader and transit veteran  —  he was a transportation advisor to Mayor Koch, an Assistant Secretary of Transportation in the Clinton Administration, and led the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site after September 11 attacks — talks about the complexity of overseeing a public transportation system that spans a 12-county, 25-million person region: 6,400 subway cars, 472 stations, 5,700 buses, and two major commuter rails. Lieber notes that the success of the region — it is the economic powerhouse of the local state and much of the national economy — rests on density and mobility. “The ability to get around New York only works if you have great mass transit,” he says; the MTA moves more than six million people per day. For users, trains, buses and subways are 15 percent the cost of owning an automobile. “The magic of transit,” Lieber explains, “is it is one of the very few things that makes living in New York City and the region affordable.”   We discuss congestion pricing, the decades in making the policy to charge automobiles $9 a day to enter the most congested part of the city to reduce traffic, improve emissions, air quality, health and safety, and help finance maintenance and upgrades to the 100 year old transit system. The program launched January 5 and early data is very promising: a 10 to 20 percent reduction in traffic; significantly reduced travel times for drivers from New Jersey, Long Island, Queens and the Bronx, and along some of the city's most crowded thoroughfares (i.e., Canal Street, 34th Street, 42nd Street and 57th); increased transit ridership; and revenue generated for critical improvements: elevators and ramps to make all subway stations accessible and ADA compliant, new train cars and electric buses, new tracks, signals and power systems, mitigation efforts in areas that may see spillover traffic. Lieber notes that the economic benefits are already observable in the zone itself: increased pedestrian traffic, an uptick in retail, restaurant and Broadway sales, and promising indices in commercial leasing —  “a vote of confidence” in the program. For all these reasons the business community has long supported the policy. The MTA is equally pleased to see high rates of customer satisfaction coming from drivers with reduced commute times, which Lieber believes will also be important to counter the recent political opposition from Washington. Lieber reminds us that congestion pricing has been successfully tested in the courts, and there is nothing in the federal law or program design that would allow for its rollback.   We also speak about how central public safety, real and perceived, is to the economic and civic health of the city. “Public transit is where six million New Yorkers every day form their opinion about whether government works, and to some extent whether this community, this experiment in diversity and tolerance and economic dynamism, is working,” Lieber says. While the data show that overall crime in the city is down, crime in the subway is down, and subway crime accounts for less than two percent of overall crime, high profile and frightening crimes, and the city's larger mental health, substance use and homeless crises that are acutely manifest in the subway system, play an outsized play role in the public's sense of security, order and well-being. “Not only to the subways have to be safe, they have to feel safe,” Lieber insists, and we discuss numerous efforts the MTA is taking in coordination with other city agencies to address these issues.   We conclude with the resilience of New Yorkers in the face of adversity — the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, the September 11 attacks, the dotcom burst, and the financial crisis, Hurricane Sandy, the pandemic — and how the city “bounces back even better” to become a better version of itself. "Never bet against New York,” is Lieber's motto.   Thanks for Listening! Subscribe to Capital for Good on Apple, Amazon, Google, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
