In Teheran herrschen Panik und Verwirrung. Israel hat die Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner der iranischen Hauptstadt vor weiteren Angriffen gewarnt. Der Konflikt zwischen den beiden Ländern dauert bereits den fünften Tag an. Autos voller Menschen, die auf der Flucht sind, warteten in kilometerlangen Schlangen vor Tankstellen. Auf den Strassen ausserhalb der Stadt herrschte Stau, wie Nachrichtenagenturen berichteten.Donald Trump doppelte auf seiner Social-Media-Plattform nach und forderte die Zivilisten in Teheran auf, das Land zu verlassen: «Der Iran darf keine Kernwaffen haben», schrieb der US-Präsident. Er fordert vom Iran die «bedingungslose Kapitulation», eine Formel, die an den Zweiten Weltkrieg erinnert. Ausserdem drohte er, den obersten Führer des Landes, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ins Visier zu nehmen, da er ein leichtes Ziel sei. Der Präsident rühmt sich auch, die vollständige Kontrolle über den iranischen Luftraum zu haben.Wann ist ein allfälliger amerikanischer Luftangriff auf den Iran zu erwarten? Kann Trump mit der Zustimmung seiner Anhänger und Anhängerinnen rechnen, falls er in den Krieg eingreift, obwohl er versprochen hat, ein Friedensstifter zu sein? Ist es ein Kalkül des Präsidenten, offenzulassen, ob er den Befehl zum Angriff gibt? Oder ist Donald Trump einfach impulsiv und unberechenbar?Darüber unterhält sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, in einer neuen Folge von «Alles klar, Amerika?» mit Martin Kilian, dem früheren USA-Korrespondenten und heutigen Podcaster in Charlottesville, Virginia.Produktion: Laura Bachmann   Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

What do Nazis, fascists, incels, skinheads, misogynists, insurrectionists and Proud Boys all have in common? Many of them confide in reporter Elle Reeve.It was around 2015 and Reeve was reporting for Vice News about the rise of the “alt right,” a term coined by its leader, Richard Spencer. She spent time on internet message boards like 4chan and 8chan where far right activists communicated, trolled liberals, and began to coalesce as a movement. These were often ordinary people who increasingly embraced conspiracy theories and violence.This was during the presidency of Barack Obama, when many people were imagining that the U.S. was in the glow of a “post-racial” era. Reeve knew better. “Racism wasn't dying off with an older generation,” she told the Vermont Conversation. “There was a strong beating heart right there on the internet.”In 2017, Reeve was there when the alt right burst out of obscure Internet chat rooms and into public consciousness in a violent attack in Charlottesville, Virginia. Her documentary account, “Charlottesville: Race and Terror,” earned her and Vice News Tonight a Peabody Award, four Emmys and a George Polk Award.In 2019, Reeve became a correspondent for CNN, where she works today. She was at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 reporting on the attack on Congress by Trump supporters, many of whom she knew well.Why do they talk to her? “They want to tell their story, they want to confess, they want to unburden themselves,” she said.Reeve has a new book, “Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics.” The title refers to how far right activists speak of taking the “black pill” of nihilism to justify their cruelty and violence. “It's this dark nihilism that the world is doomed. There's nothing you can do to change it, and you at best, can hope for it to collapse.”Reeve traces how far-right rhetoric has moved from the fringes to the mainstream, with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance channeling extremist ideas and language.Vance has denounced the “woke ideology” of “white women who are miserable about their own lives, enforcing codes about racial justice, gay rights on other people to make other people miserable, to account for how miserable they are in their own lives,” Reeve explained.Vance's use of the term “childless cat ladies” is another far right meme. “I've read that on 4chan six or seven years ago,” said Reeve. “It has trickled upward.”Another far right notion that is now embraced by mainstream Republicans is that diversity is bad. “They think that racial and ethnic and gender diversity makes us weaker. It makes us fools. This is just something that they ridiculed all the time.”Reeve explained the far right context of Trump's attacks on people of color. “If a white person commits a crime in their world, it's because they're a bad guy. But if a Black person commits a crime in their world, it's because they're Black.”Reeve warned that many people “are vulnerable to those ideas. I just interviewed a ton of people who were so nice to me at a Trump boat parade. They were so nice to me, and then they started talking to me about how it's not right to eat people's cats, and these people do animal sacrifice, and they're dirty and they bring disease.”“It's not all crazy people who believe this stuff. It's regular people and your neighbors,” said Reeve. “You have an obligation to push back against that, whether or not they'll listen to you.”Reeve said about the future, “There has been an escalating radicalization among the Republican elite and a softening among the voters… People speak freely about civil war. That is dangerous.”“I don't like it but I don't know where that balance ends up after the election. You can't do something like Jan. 6 without a feeling that there's an army behind you of supporters who will back you up.”

According to Deborah Baker, author of Charlottesville: An American Story, America has become the Charlottesville of the Unite the Right Rally of August 12, 2017. Baker, who grew up in Charlottesville in the shadow of Jefferson's Monticello, watched in shock as neo-Nazis marched through her hometown in August 2017 with torches and flags. What began as her attempt to understand how such hatred could manifest in a progressive college town became a deeper reckoning with America's buried histories and recurring tragedies. The fascist ideologies that once seemed confined to internet forums and fringe rallies have now, she argues, been institutionalized at the highest levels of government. The warning signs were there in 2017—but too many people, from university administrators to progressive leaders, chose to look away. If we close our eyes, she warns, it won't go away. five key takeaways1. America Has Institutionalized ExtremismWhat began as fringe internet movements and basement trolling has now moved into the mainstream of American politics and government institutions. The ideologies that shocked people in Charlottesville 2017 are now, according to Baker, embedded at the highest levels of power.2. Progressive Institutions Failed to Take the Threat SeriouslyUniversity administrators, mayors, and police chiefs in liberal Charlottesville told citizens to "stay home" and ignore the approaching Unite the Right rally. This pattern of progressive leadership closing their eyes to fascist organizing represents a dangerous institutional failure that continues today.3. White Supremacy Has Always Married Anti-Semitism with Anti-Black RacismThe Nazi flags at Charlottesville weren't separate from the Confederate monuments debate. White supremacist ideology consistently portrays Jews as the puppet masters behind Black civil rights movements, combining European fascism with Southern white supremacy into a unified hateful worldview.4. America's "Buried Histories" Keep RepeatingBaker discovered that Charlottesville had experienced a similar white supremacist rally in the 1950s that had been completely forgotten. This pattern of burying ugly chapters allows the same mistakes to be repeated, as communities fail to learn from their past encounters with organized hate.5. Economic and Political Destabilization Creates Fertile Ground for FascismThe conditions that radicalized figures like Richard Spencer include the "forever wars," the 2008 financial crisis, and the broader betrayal of working-class Americans. These "self-inflicted wounds" by American institutions create the chaos that fascist movements exploit to gain followers.Deborah Baker was born in Charlottesville and grew up in Virginia, Puerto Rico and New England. She attended the University of Virginia and Cambridge University. Her first book, written in college, was Making a Farm: The Life of Robert Bly, published by Beacon Press in 1982. After working as a book editor and publisher, in 1990 she moved to Calcutta where she wrote In Extremis; The Life of Laura Riding. Published by Grove Press and Hamish Hamilton in the UK, it was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography in 1994. Her third book, A Blue Hand: The Beats in India was published by Penguin Press USA and Penguin India in 2008. In 2008–2009 she was a Fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis C. Cullman Center for Writers and Scholars at The New York Public Library. There she researched and wrote The Convert: A Tale of Exile and Extremism, a narrative account of the life of an American convert to Islam. Published by Graywolf and Penguin India, The Convert was a finalist for the 2011 National Book Award in Non-Fiction. The Last Englishmen: Love, War and the End of Empire was published in October 2018. For this book she received a Whiting Creative Non-fiction grant and a Guggenheim fellowship. Charlottesville is her sixth work of narrative non-fiction. She is married to the writer Amitav Ghosh and lives in Brooklyn and Charlottesville.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Tamara Lucas, the founder and CEO of My Panda, has turned that universal feeling into a business that's transforming lives and communities. My Panda, short for “Personal Assistant Next Door App,” connects people with trusted, hyper-local assistants—called Pandas—who can handle everything from grocery runs to household chores.“What we need is community,” Tamara said during today's episode. “What we need is people to turn to that we trust to be able to ask for the help that we need and also an opportunity for people to provide assistance and help.”Unlike gig-economy platforms like TaskRabbit or Uber, My Panda emphasizes community, trust, and mutual support. Tasks submitted through the app are matched with Pandas in the user's local area, fostering a sense of connection and accountability. “You're a lot less likely to steal someone's grandmother's jewelry if you're going to run into them at Publix,” Tamara joked.The business model is as innovative as it is impactful. Users pay a flat hourly rate for services, with membership options that offer discounts and additional perks. Pandas, who are independent contractors, are primarily women—just like the users they assist. This creates what Tamara describes as “a culture of women helping women,” which has become a hallmark of My Panda.Tamara is also leveraging community to fund her vision. Through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder, anyone can invest in My Panda, starting with as little as $100. “By doing crowdfunding, not only are we raising the capital that we need to grow,” she explained, “but we're also giving people a sense of ownership and deepening relationships within the community.”As My Panda prepares to expand beyond Atlanta to new markets like Charlottesville, Virginia, Tamara's vision of creating a modern-day village is gaining momentum. Her approach is about more than convenience—it's about rebuilding the connections we've lost in today's fast-paced, individualistic world.My Panda isn't just a service; it's a movement. It's a reminder that we're better together, and with the right tools, we can create a community that lifts everyone up.tl;dr:My Panda connects people with hyper-local assistants to provide trusted help for daily tasks.The app fosters community by hiring local Pandas and creating a culture of mutual support.My Panda's business model includes flat hourly rates, memberships, and perks for users.Tamara's superpower is empathy, helping her identify and act on others' needs.The company is raising capital via a WeFunder crowdfunding campaign to support its expansion.How to Develop Empathy and Connection As a SuperpowerTamara Lucas's superpower is her ability to deeply listen, empathize, and connect with others. “My biggest superpower is my ability to listen to people and connect with people, understand what their needs are, and then really creating spaces and connections for them to get those needs met,” she explained in today's episode. Tamara's background in psychology and social work has informed her approach, but it's her natural ability to engage and understand people that has been the foundation of her success.One day, a conversation with a friend sparked the idea for My Panda. Tamara's friend, a dog walker, shared her frustration: “I go into people's homes, and they need so much more than just a dog walk.” That moment of connection inspired Tamara to envision a platform where people could easily ask for—and get—the help they need. My Panda was born from her ability to listen, empathize, and act on the needs of others.To develop this superpower, Tamara's advice is straightforward yet profound:Practice Active Listening: Stop rehearsing your response in your head and focus entirely on what the other person is saying.Cultivate Empathy: Try to understand the emotions and experiences behind someone's words.Think Creatively About Support: Look for ways you—and your community—can offer help and share resources.Embrace Connection: Remember that humans are meant to live in community, not in isolation.By following Tamara's example and advice, you can make empathy and connection a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileTamara V Lucas (she/her):CEO & Founder, My PandaAbout My Panda: My Panda (Personal Assistant Next Door App) is a tech-enabled, community-powered platform that connects people with trusted, local assistants, called Pandas - to help with everyday personal tasks.

Fr. Sean McDermott's sermon for Ascension Sunday preached at All Saints Anglican Church in Charlottesville, VA on June 1, 2025.

In this episode, I talk with pioneering psychiatrist Dr. Bernard Beitman to explore his powerful new book Life-Changing Synchronicities: A Doctor's Journey of Coincidence and Serendipity. Together, we dive into the mysterious territory where chance meets meaning, and where the fabric of reality seems to momentarily rearrange itself to deliver meaningful messages.Dr. Beitman shares deeply personal stories of uncanny coincidences that shaped his life, from football field premonitions in Delaware to mind-expanding moments in 1960s Haight-Ashbury. We talk about his time in San Francisco during a cultural revolution, how psychedelic experiences opened his perception, and how those early glimpses of connection and mystery evolved into a lifelong exploration of synchronicity.We also explore the Mandela Effect, and consider whether these might represent a kind of collective synchronicity… or something even stranger. Is reality shifting beneath our feet, or are we catching glimpses of a deeper, interconnected consciousness at work?Synchronicity, serendipity, purpose, and the invisible threads that shape a life, and more!An incredible episode.. Drop in!www.coincider.comDr. Bernard Beitman Bio:Bernard Beitman, M.D., a graduate of Yale Medical School, did his psychiatric residency at Stanford University. The former chair of psychiatry of the University of Missouri-Columbia Medical School for seventeen years, he writes a blog for Psychology Today and is the author of Meaningful Coincidences. The founder of The Coincidence Project, he lives in Charlottesville, Virginia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Regularity is important in a publication, but there's a certain uncertainty that comes with material created by Town Crier Productions. The goal is for the podcast editions to come out on Fridays, but there are times when that will shift. The reasons for these occasional deviations are not to be written out, but if you listen to the recording perhaps I will explain more. I'm Sean Tubbs and this is my best attempt at suspense.In this edition:* The Free Enterprise Forum holds a campaign forum for the two candidates for the Jack Jouett District (learn more)* The Free Enterprise Forum also held one for the three people running for two Democratic slots for City Council on the ballot this fall (podcast-only preview!)* The governing body of the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority gets an update and adopts a budget for FY2026 (learn more)* There will be a public hearing before Charlottesville City Council on June 2 for utility rate increases (learn more)* Albemarle County on track to exceed revenue forecast for FY2025 (learn more)Join the dozens of people who have signed up this week! The next edition comes out tomorrow and will give a preview of upcoming government meetings!First shout out: Charlottesville E-bike Lending LibraryIt's the last day of Charlottesville Bike Month. The rolling topography of the Charlottesville area might keep some people away from choosing cycling as an option to get around. Perhaps an e-bike is in order?That's where Charlottesville's eBike Lending Library comes in! E-bikes are a great way to get around the community but there are many brands and styles to choose from. Because many e-bikes are sold online, it can be a challenge to try an e-bike before buying one.The Charlottesville E-bike Lending Library is a free, not-for-profit service working to expand access to e-bikes in the area. They have a small collection of e-bikes that they lend out to community members for up to a week, for free. You can experience your daily commute, go grocery shopping, or even bike your kids to school, and decide whether e-bikes are right for you. Check out this service at https://www.ebikelibrarycville.org!Program announcements for May 31, 2025As I said above, the podcast versions usually come out on Fridays but there are often times that does not happen. There's a radio version that airs on WTJU at 6 a.m. and it has to be 29 minutes long at least. I'm visiting family this week so things aren't quite as efficient. I was up until 10 p.m. last night writing and producing the City Council segment and uploading it to YouTube.The written version may go out on Information Charlottesville tomorrow but it will definitely be in the Monday edition of the newsletter. I'm deciding against posting new text content on Saturday because this is usually the day I try not to work if I can help it.But it's also the day I look at all of the jurisdictions in Virginia's Fifth Congressional District to get ready for the meeting previews I'll post on Fifth District Community Engagement throughout the week ahead. Later on today I'll scope out tomorrow's Week Ahead and possibly will try to start my second story for the next C-Ville Weekly.You may think this doesn't sound like a day off. But organization is the way I'm able to get all of this work done on a steady basis. And I listen to music throughout the day! Right now, I'm listening to the new Sparks album, MAD! There's a lot to dislike about these times, but access to music connects me to humanity. It makes me feel like I'm living to hear something new for the first time.I'm really procrastinating now as I wait for the last song on the album to stop. This feels like a very important album and I've just heard it for the first time.I have to record the continuity for the podcast. That's the opening, the shout-outs, and the end piece. I have a template I use each time and I have a whole series of sounds I use as interstitials to break up the segments. All of the segments are produced separately and in an ideal world I'd record the narration before I post them to Charlottesville Community Engagement.Okay the album ended, and I conclude this procrastinatory text by wanting to express my gratitude to my father, Joseph Tubbs, for providing me an example of how to be productive and how to use your passion to fuel your career. It's his birthday today and I'm about to go celebrate with him and my mother.I leave you with two videos.`Second shout-out: Charlottesville Community BikesIn today's second subscriber supported shout-out, Charlottesville Community Bikes strives to provide wheels to anyone who needs a ride.

This episode features our live audience conversation with members of FORTH Club in Atlanta, GA and Nicola Lenci, the co-owner of Fattoria di Magliano, a winery located in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Nicola has been working at the estate since 2010, first in the vineyards and later in the cellar. He became an AIS Sommelier and started traveling, mainly North America, Germany and the UK, as the National Sales Manager of Fattoria di Magliano. Additionally, he currently is the Export Manager of the company and also the assistant winemaker. Nicola brought a flight of 4 of his family's wines to share with us while talking about his family's history, their experience starting a winery business, and their dedication to hospitality in the wine industry. We dive deep into what makes the region so unique, and you'll hear some interesting insights about Italian wine classifications and the estate's specific growing conditions. In 1996, Nicola's father, Agostino Lenci - a fashion professional - turned his passion for wine into a business by investing in a 97-hectare property. At the time, Maremma was not recognized for producing high quality wines, but Lenci endeavored to bring notoriety to this little-known wine-producing region situated a mere 10 miles from the Tyrrhenian coast in southeastern Tuscany. His vision was realized a few years later when Maremma Toscana was granted DOC status by the Italian government. Now at the estate, there is a restaurant serving local cuisine as well as a boutique inn with 30 guest rooms and a swimming pool overlooking the rolling hills. Our audience brought such a great energy of curiosity to this episode, and there was a line that formed behind the mic when we opened it up for the live Q&A at the end of the episode. Recorded May 13, 2025-----------------Our presenting sponsor for May is The Monticello Wine Trail in Virginia.

Last week started with the announcement that former president Joe Biden had an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bone. The folks at Fox used the former president's diagnosis as even more proof that the entire Democratic Party was complicit in hiding his declining health to the American public.Meanwhile Trump continues to show signs of his own cognitive decline along with a severe personality disorder. During a commencement speech at West Point Trump claimed there were ‘no wars and no problems' during his first administration.During Trump's first term in office the U.S. was still at war in Afghanistan, Neo Nazis terrorized Charlottesville, Virginia, a global pandemic caused the death of millions, international supply chains fell apart, Americans faced shortages of food, medical equipment and other necessities, and entire industries were shutdown.

Er erwähnte ihn bereits in seiner Antrittsrede: Donald Trump kündigte am 20. Januar an, den Mount Denali in Alaska wieder in Mount McKinley umzutaufen, benannt nach dem 25. US-Präsidenten. Diese Ankündigung betraf nicht nur die Geografie, sondern indizierte, was Trump vorhat in seiner zweiten Amtszeit.William McKinley, von 1897 bis 1901 im Weissen Haus, verfolgte eine imperiale Politik, die von territorialer Expansion geprägt war. Damals traten die USA in die Weltpolitik ein. McKinley baute die Seestreitkräfte aus und führte 1898 die USA in den Spanisch-Amerikanischen Krieg, den «splendid little war», den «herrlichen kleinen Krieg». Die Vereinigten Staaten besetzten unter McKinley ausserdem die Philippinen, Puerto Rico und Guam und annektierten das Königreich Hawaii, womit sie zu einer Kolonialmacht wurden. Was verbindet Donald Trump mit William McKinley? Ist Trump eine Figur aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, die gleichzeitig auf Bitcoins und künstliche Intelligenz setzt? Und was sind die Folgen für die amerikanische Aussenpolitik und den Rest der Welt, wenn sich der 47. US-Präsident am 25. orientiert? Darüber unterhält sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, mit Martin Kilian in Charlottesville, Virginia, in einer neuen Folge des USA-Podcasts «Alles klar, Amerika?».Produzent: Noah Fend Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

In this episode of the Discovery podcast, we talk with Timothy Heaphy about the similarities between the 2017 Charlottesville riot and the January 6th insurrection. Heaphy led the House investigation into the January 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol and recently authored Harbingers: What January 6 and Charlottesville Reveal About Rising Threats to American Democracy.  Heaphy reflects on his unique role in investigating both the 2017 Charlottesville rally and the 2021 Capitol insurrection, drawing strong parallels between the two events. We explore what these events reveal about the current fragility of American democracy. Heaphy emphasizes that both were driven by a deep mistrust in institutions and a breakdown in civil discourse, with social media playing a pivotal role in the spread of misinformation and mobilization.  Heaphy also reveals how we can avoid similar episodes of political violence in the future and protect our democracy.

Join us on Strange Planet as Dr. Bernard Beitman, a Yale-trained psychiatrist and synchronicity pioneer, unravels the universe's hidden messages. From telepathic home runs to psychedelic revelations, his journey reveals how tracking synchronicities can transform your life and even save humanity. Tune in for a mind-bending exploration that'll make you wonder: Are you listening to the universe's whispers?   GUEST: Dr. Bernard Beitman, M.D., is a groundbreaking psychiatrist and the first scholar since Carl Jung to rigorously study meaningful coincidences. A Yale Medical School graduate and former psychiatry chair at the University of Missouri-Columbia, he founded The Coincidence Project and authors the Connecting with Coincidence blog for Psychology Today. His books, including the upcoming Life-Changing Synchronicities (May 2025), blend science and spirituality to help people decode synchronicity's patterns.

This week on Stitch Please, Lisa is joined (again!) by the fabulous Mahdiyyah Muhammad for a thread-heavy deep dive into sewing that's sustainable, soulful, and seriously stylish. They chat denim history, fabric vibes (yes, literal vibrations), and why mending isn't just for grandma—it's radical, ancestral, and low-key magical. From fast fashion faux pas to fiber alchemy, this convo stitches together culture, community, and circular fashion with plenty of wisdom and a dash of sass. Tune in and get mended, mentally and materially.====Where You Can Find Mahdiyyah! The Black Fiber & Textile NetworkMahdiyyah Muhammad's IG===========Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture. Her teaching and research explore Black women writers, Black identity, trauma theory, and American slavery. She is the founder of Black Women Stitch, the sewing group where Black lives matter. She is also the host/producer of Stitch Please, a weekly audio podcast that centers on Black women, girls, and femmes in sewing. In the summer of 2017, she actively resisted the white supremacist marches in her community, Charlottesville, Virginia. The city became a symbol of lethal resurging white supremacist violence. She remains active in a variety of university and community initiatives, including the Community Engaged Scholars program. She believes in the power of creative liberation.Instagram: Lisa WoolforkTwitter: Lisa Woolfork======Stay Connected:YouTube: Black Women StitchInstagram: Black Women StitchFacebook: Stitch Please Podcast--Sign up for the Black Women Stitch quarterly newsletterCheck out our merch hereLeave a BACKSTITCH message and tell us about your favorite episode.Join the Black Women Stitch PatreonCheck out our Amazon Store
