So here's the thing. I know I talk a lot about reading. It's pretty important to me. But all week I've been trying to prepare a different podcast, one NOT about the uncrackable justification for choice reading. But recently I heard from several teachers over in CHSE about thriving reading programs they had going, only to get shut down by folks who felt like reading in class was a waste of time. And then I kind of ended up in a rabbit hole, as I am wont to do. It's like researching the justification for choice reading became my guilty pleasure, sucking up all my time. I listened to audiobooks on my walks, pored over research roundups and articles at the coffee shop, hit up the hammock with my Penny Kittle, and stared and stared and stared at the growing evidence mounting in my endless Google doc of notes. The evidence is clear. The need for help for kids who don't read, don't like reading, and don't want to read is great. And yet STILL we are prioritizing reading snippets and drilling for tests to "improve" our readers' reading. I want you to have the information you need to fight. So here I am. Again. Despite my efforts to focus on something else this week. Let's dig deep.

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of serious topics, including online child exploitation, grooming, and extremist networks. Listener discretion is advised, especially if children are nearby. Episode Summary In this heavy but critically important episode of Talk Law Radio, host Todd Marquardt exposes a chilling new breed of online threat facing our families. We dive deep into the recent federal sentencing of Alexis Aldair Chavez, a San Antonio-based leader of a Nihilistic Violent Extremist (NVE) network known as "8884" (a subsidiary of the "764" criminal enterprise). Sentenced to 40 years in federal prison, Chavez’s case reveals how decentralized, nihilistic groups are actively using social media, gaming apps, and messaging platforms to target and terrorize vulnerable teenagers. Todd breaks down the legal mechanics of this prosecution, explaining how the federal government is weaponizing the RICO Act—originally designed to take down the mafia—to dismantle digital cyber-enterprises. To show how easily everyday people can find themselves entangled in online networks, Todd also shares a warning hypothetical about a side-hustle community on social media that crosses the line into a fraudulent, RICO-eligible enterprise. Earlier in the show, we shift gears to focus on financial security. Todd sits down with Steve Warren of Financial Planning HQ to discuss the concept of a "financial flight plan" and why having a dedicated "Financial CEO" can keep your lifetime financial strategy anchored and on track. Key Takeaways & Highlights The Threat of Nihilistic Violent Extremist (NVE) Networks: Understand the rise of decentralized online groups like the 764 Enterprise. Driven by nihilism—the rejection of moral and traditional values—these groups seek to sow social instability by targeting minors where they play and hang out online (TikTok, Telegram, Discord, and gaming lobbies). How Predators Groom and Blackmail Kids: Learn the playbook used by these digital predators. It starts with minor, seemingly harmless online requests to build rapport. Once they secure any private content, they use ruthless extortion and blackmail to force victims into compliance. Modern RICO Applications: Discover how prosecutors are creatively applying the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) statute to the digital age, establishing that online communities and internet communication satisfy the legal requirements for "interstate commerce" and "criminal enterprises". Actionable Parent & Caregiver Tips: Be Active and Engaged: Regularly ask your children who they are talking to online and sit with them while they play video games or send messages. Watch for Warnings: Keep a close eye on behavioral shifts and recognize warning signs of online grooming. Report Immediately: If you suspect anything, use resources like the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), call 1-800-CALL-FBI, or contact Project Safe Childhood. The "Financial Flight Plan" (With Steve Warren): Why your financial goals need a name, a date, and an exact funding requirement—and how a flat-fee "Financial CEO" keeps your team of experts (attorneys, CPAs, planners) working in sync.

Four months ago when a New York Times investigation alleged that César Chavez – an icon of the Latino civil rights movement – had sexually assaulted young girls, the Latino community began to contend with his legacy. In St. Paul's West Side, which is a vibrant Mexican neighborhood, that means renaming César Chavez Street. Some of that work begins Thursday. The West Side Community Organization is hosting its first of three community input sessions to rename the street. West Side Community Organization Executive Director Monica Bravo spoke to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about the renaming process.

Peter Medak's Romeo is Bleeding  In the 1990s low-budget studio films on the periphery (in this case Polygram Filmed Entertainment) were being made with casts that - in some cases - would become mainstream stars throughtout the decade and the upcoming milennium.  1993s Peter Medak directed Romeo is Bleeding, is an under-watched, hidden gem with a cast that almost defines the 1990s - Gary Oldman, Annabella Sciorra, Roy Schreider, Juliette Lewis, Michael Wincott, and the brilliant, Lena Olin. A New York set Neo-Noir that explodes beyond the Hayes Code limits of the genre, Medak's film is a platform for a darkness of material that is rarely seen in mainstream Hollwyood. Building on a violent and highly sexualized narrative that reminds today's viewer and expands on the memories of late 80s/early 90s Cinemax Erotic Thrillers (as well as Sharon Stone and Basic Instinct), Romeo is Bleeding is a showcase for Oldman's burnt-out, self-destructive cop, Jack Grimaldi, and Lena Olin's daring, highly sexualized, and dangerous, femme fatale, Mona Demarkov. This week Mr. Chavez and I discuss the brilliance of these two performances and the film that underserves their talents. We dive into what the film gets right and how a better director (in our opinions, Paul Schrader) may have produced a masterpiece. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

Send us Fan MailFor decades, women undergoing mastectomy have largely faced the same choice: reconstruct with permanent implants or use tissue transplanted from another part of the body. But what if there was a third option - not replacing what's been lost, but actually regenerating it? Today we're exploring one of the most ambitious ideas in regenerative medicine: a 3D-bioprinted scaffold designed to help the body rebuild living tissue.Dr. Claudia Chavez-Munoz, MD, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized surgeon-scientist, regenerative medicine innovator, and Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder of Conexeu Sciences ( https://www.conexeu.com/ ). With a career spanning plastic surgery, wound healing, tissue engineering, and extracellular matrix biology, she has dedicated more than two decades to understanding how the body repairs itself - and how that knowledge can be translated into next-generation therapies.Dr. Chavez-Munoz earned her MD from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, completed her Ph.D. in Plastic Surgery at the University of British Columbia, and pursued postdoctoral training in tissue engineering and reconstructive surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Her pioneering work has ranged from stem cell biology and skin regeneration to biomaterials and organ reseeding technologies. Throughout her academic career at the University of British Columbia and Vancouver General Hospital, she has mentored future physician-scientists while advancing innovative approaches to tissue regeneration.Today, she leads the scientific development of Conexeu's "10 Minute Tissue™" platform and is spearheading what may become the world's first 3D-bioprinted regenerative breast - a temporary scaffold designed to disappear over time as a patient's own tissue regenerates and replaces it. Her work represents a bold vision for the future of reconstructive surgery: moving beyond permanent implants and toward living, regenerative solutions that harness the body's natural healing capacity.#BreastCancer #BreastReconstruction #RegenerativeMedicine #3DBioprinting #TissueEngineering #Bioprinting #PlasticSurgery #Biotechnology #StemCells #WoundHealing #Biomaterials #PrecisionMedicine #FutureOfMedicine #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalInnovation #ExtracellularMatrix #CancerSurvivorship #Surgery #WomenInSTEM #ProgressPotentialPossibilitiesSupport the show

Germania Rodriguez Poleo — journalist, writer, and Venezuelan exile — escaped her country at age 11 after the Chavez regime accused her mother of terrorism, tortured their bodyguard to death, shot at their car, and raided their home. She arrived in Miami as a refugee. Then she went to NYU and voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary. Her Reason magazine article "My Family Fled Socialism. Then I Voted for Bernie Sanders." tells the story of how that happened — and how she found her way back out. She's also the narrator of the documentary Escaping Venezuela. We covered: her mother's escape on a boat to Curacao and what Interpol red notices actually do to dissidents; the Pinochet whataboutism that follows every conversation about left-wing atrocities; what NYU taught (and didn't teach) about communism, socialism, and US foreign policy; why the pipeline from wealth and privilege to socialism is real and why it matters who makes the culture; the DSA's old platform calling for nationalization of media — and what that looks like in practice in Venezuela; the 32 Cuban soldiers killed protecting Maduro when the US captured him; the 2024 Venezuelan election that was stolen in plain sight; the recent earthquake with 40,000 missing while the dictatorship reports 3,000 dead; why she believes the US should be the policeman of the world; and the tragedy of exile — what it means to have your entire family legacy erased.

Eric Chavez's criticism of David Stearns opens the door to a bigger Mets conversation about accountability, roster construction and whether the organization handed too much control to a front office that has not delivered. The discussion digs into Stearns' reported contract, the breakup of the Mets' core, Juan Soto's complicated role in the clubhouse and why Francisco Lindor may have been pushed aside as the team's natural leader.

Diego Area is the President and CEO of Global Americans, a nonpartisan think tank dedicated to reimagining U.S.–Latin America relations. Born and raised in Caracas, Diego came of age during the rise of the Chavez regime, becoming deeply engaged in student government at the Universidad Central de Venezuela—where his father also served on the faculty—and in the broader opposition movement, at times placing himself at personal risk in defense of democratic values. Eventually fleeing Venezuela, Diego and his wife settled in Washington, DC, where he earned a master's degree in political management from George Washington University. In 2021, GWU honored him with its Guardian of Democracy Award, recognizing graduates who have overcome significant obstacles to uphold democratic principles at home and abroad. He went on to spend six years at the Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center before taking the helm at Global Americans, where he builds bridges between the private sector, governments, and the U.S. Latino community to strengthen democracy and hemispheric cooperation. In this episode of the Purple Line Podcast, hosted by CHLI CEO Mary Ann Gomez Orta, Diego reflects on his journey from the streets of Caracas to Washington policy circles, the lessons of opposing authoritarianism firsthand, and his views on U.S.–Latin America relations, the current administration's posture toward Venezuela, and the intertwined futures of the Venezuelan and Cuban diasporas. A passionate advocate for free expression and diversity of thought, Diego brings a compelling and deeply personal lens to some of the hemisphere's most pressing questions.

Ghost opens episode 111 with Trump's Air Force One gaggle, walking through Trump confirming the Netanyahu F-bomb call, comparing AI wealth sharing for Americans to Chavez's oil nationalization, and delivering the line of the week on the Strait of Hormuz: oil is flowing at $97 a barrel and it should have been $300. The biggest shift comes when Trump tells reporters he would be honored to meet the new Ayatollah, calls him probably a professional, and implies the press may have lied about him the same way they lie about Trump. Ghost maps out how this, the uranium entombment admission, the State Department killing Israel's Somaliland play, and Putin's SPIEF defense of Trump all add up to a coordinated squeeze on Netanyahu. Hunter Biden's viral X account gets its moment: the January 2021 hot mic plea deal clip, his posts torching Jake Tapper, Jared Kushner, and Eric Trump, and Ghost's cooperating witness theory. SPIEF closes the episode with Putin's multipolar world speech, Saudi Arabia as guest of honor signing 30 Russia agreements, the Russia-Uzbekistan nuclear plant launch, and Kirill Dmitriev announcing the signing of the Trump-Putin Alaska tunnel design agreement with a mysterious Asian partner now confirmed.

Hello and welcome back to All One Song, a Neil Young podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with your host Tyler Wilcox. We've covered a lot of Shakey ground so far during seasons one and two, leaping from decade to decade, from era to era, from album to album. It's easy to do when you're dealing with a body of work that is so vast, spanning 60 years now. But somehow, we've yet to talk about any songs from Zuma. Neil fanatics — like our hero — can be an ornery, contrarian bunch. It would be tough to get them to agree on anything. But I think I'm safe in saying that everyone loves Zuma. If you don't … well, you're crazier than Crazy Horse.   Here to help us unpack "Barstool Blues," one of the album's high points, is Matt Sweeney. Sweeney is one of those guys who is impossible to sum up. He's a musician who has been a part of so many great bands, projects and records over the years — Superwolf, Chavez, Guided by Voices, the Hard Quartet, Iggy Pop, Current 93, Cass McCombs, Andrew WK … the list goes on and on. He's a consummate collaborator, perhaps the only person alive to have played with both Johnny Cash and Endless Boogie…with both the Dixie Chicks and Baby Dee … with both Adele and Six Organs of Admittance. Matt also hosts the excellent Guitar Moves web series, which gets into fascinating discussions with a wide array of guitarists. Definitely dial it up when you get a chance; even if you don't play, it is always a blast. So pull up a stool and belly up, here's Matt Sweeney on "Barstool Blues."

Mauricio Di Bartolomeo is the Co-founder of Ledn, the leader in Bitcoin-backed lending. He grew up in Venezuela, living through the early tremors of what would become one of the most dramatic monetary collapses in modern history, before coming to Canada in 2003. His front-row seat to hyperinflation under Chavez and Maduro shaped a deeply practical understanding of how money, debt, and institutional trust actually function, and gave him the conviction to build Ledn, which has issued over $10 billion in loans since 2018 and holds an estimated 30% market share in consumer Bitcoin-backed lending globally. We cover what hyperinflation actually feels like from the inside, why the wealthy borrow while everyone else is told to save, the philosophical debate over whether Bitcoin-backed debt is morally sound, and what the recent seismic shifts in Venezuela's political landscape mean for an oppressed country. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

As bad as things have gotten for democracy in America, it no longer suffices to simply denounce those in power. Nor is it enough to march, call members of Congress, or vote, important though all of those things are. Instead we have to find new ways of building power—a process that begins with grassroots community organizing. But what exactly does that look like?  On this episode, Commonweal Mission and Partnerships director Claudia Avila Cosnahan is joined by two organizers: Nicholas Hayes-Mota, a public theologian and professor at Santa Clara University, and Michael Okinczyc-Cruz, co-founder of the Chicago-based Coalition for Spiritual and Public Life and the author of a new book on organizing.  Besides explaining the history of organizing in America, and arguing for its necessity, Hayes-Mota and Okinczyc-Cruz share how organizing can also help the Catholic Church advocate for justice and peace throughout the world.   For further reading:  Claudia Avila Cosnahan on the Chavez revelations Heidi Sclumpf on CSPL's Mass outside an ICE facility Joanna Arellano on the spiritual solace of organizing

Americans have had to remove the late Cesar Chavez from the pedestals we've put him on amidst a recent torrent of credible allegations aimed at him of sexual abuse, rape and pedophilia. This has resulted in a newfound interest in Larry Itliong, a Filipino American labor organizer who's often called the "Father of the West Coast Labor Movement." Until now, he's been unfairly overshadowed by the iconic Chavez, but Larry's son Johnny is relieved that more of the unabridged history of that movement is now finding an audience.

On tonight's live, Andy & DJ discuss Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigning from the Trump admin, the death or disapperances of 11 top US scientists and researchers being overlooked, and the ActBlue employees who took the Fifth in House depositions.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the resignation of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, signs of momentum among House Democrats towards expelling Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, and the sudden surge of former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in the California governor's race.First, they're not at all sorry to see President Trump forcing Sec. Chavez-DeRemer to resign. Jim and Greg explain how she was always far too cozy with big labor and a threat to the freelance economy. They also note the serious ethics problems, both personal and professionsl, that were mounting against her.Next, House Democrats now seemed more inclined to expel Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick or at least pressure her to resign over allegations that she stole millions in COVID-era FEMA funds for personal and political benefit. But Democrats were adamantly opposed to punishing her just a few weeks ago. What changed?Then they are startled to see Sec. Becerra leap to the front of the pack in the California governor's race, especially since he was barely an afterthought for most of the campaign until Eric Swalwell was forced to withdraw.Finally, they take a quick look at the Los Angeles mayoral race, where Karen Bass appears on track for re-election. But as leading challenger and former reality television star Spencer Pratt alleges the Chinese are aggressively buying up lots after the Palisades and other fires, Jim and Greg wonder whether Pratt's celebrity will help or hurt his campaign.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Greg Araki's The Doom Generation  This week Mr. Chavez & I explore the 1990s with a cult film that is remembered as an early classic of New Queer Cinema. Greg Araki's The Doom Generation is remembered as a violent and trashy exploration of 1990s alternative cinmea.  A Gen X Bisexual Bonnie & Clyde/Badlands profile of alienation and stylized camp, Araki's film is the second edition of his "Teen Apocalypse Trilogy". For Mr. Chavez the episode is a nostalgic look at a film that left an impression; for me, the film is an attempt to understand a genre that was somehow missed. We both dive into a discussion sliding through our memories of the decade and our attitudes on what the genre and respective films would mean to a voice that had only been hinted at and often censored.  Take a listen and let us know what you think.

Victoria Duran grew up in East San José, and remembers celebrating her community's ties to labor activist and United Farm Workers co-founder Cesar Chavez. His legacy looms large on the East Side, where he held his first organizing meetings and where his former home still stands. But for many people in San José, that sense of pride was shattered after a New York Times' investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by Chavez. Now Duran, who teaches ethnic studies and psychology at William C. Overfelt High School in East San José, is reckoning with how to teach about Chavez in light of these sexual abuse allegations.

Just two weeks ago, cities across the country were finalizing plans for celebrations of Cesar Chavez Day. Then an investigative report from The New York Times revealed allegations that Chavez sexually abused women and girls for years. Now, many cities are cancelling those plans, and a day that was once a celebration has become a painful reminder of his now tarnished legacy. Stephanie Sy reports.

Did we all need a streaming manosphere documentary? Many did. Did we need one made in the GenX stop-and-mug slacker analysis-avoiding style of Louis Theroux? Debatable. Today we review Theroux's Inside the Manosphere: its aesthetic mimicry of manosphere style, a potential ethics issue, how monetizing misogyny interacts with the gigwork incentives of OnlyFans, how all the bravado covers for legitimate fears, but only pays out at the top.  Many Mexican Americans this past week were devastated to learn that a hero of the UFW and the broader Chicano Movement, Cesar Chavez, was a coercive serial abuser and pedophile. I say many: because many women knew, connected and informed by a whisper network dating back over decades, and maintained by the pressure to not degrade the status and gains of the movement itself. Off the top today, we look at the influence of the Synanon cult on Chavez's tactics.

1. Kathy Hochul (New York Governor) – Economic Hypocrisy Hochul previously encouraged conservatives and wealthy job creators to leave New York. After large numbers of high‑income residents relocated, she now publicly urges wealthy individuals to return. This is hypocrisy—rejecting wealth creators ideologically while depending on them financially to sustain social programs. Left‑wing governance is hostile to success yet reliant on taxing it. 2. James Talarico (Texas Democratic Senate Candidate) – Religious & Cultural Contradictions Democrats selected Talarico to appeal to Christians because of his seminary background. His theological statements (e.g., describing God as “non‑binary”) are radical reinterpretations of Christianity. Additional Points: Supports abortion access for transgender individuals. Expresses discomfort with traditional symbols like the American flag and the Christian cross. Advocates reducing meat consumption and runs a vegan campaign in barbecue‑centric Texas. 3. Joe Kent (Former Trump Administration Official) – Foreign Policy Reversal Kent resigned in protest of U.S. military action against Iran, blaming Israeli influence. His past statements strongly supported aggressive action against Iran and praised Trump’s Iran policy. He later suggests (without evidence) that Israel may be threatening President Trump. Media reports suggest he may have leaked classified information. 4. Cesar Chavez (Labor Icon) – Moral Hypocrisy and Historical Revision Chavez has long been revered by the left as a civil‑rights and labor hero. A New York Times exposé alleges Chavez sexually abused minors over many years. The Left has: Allegedly concealed or ignored these accusations because Chavez aligned with their politics. Continued honoring him with statues, street names, and official recognition. Ideology was prioritized over justice and child protection. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Dolores Huerta built a lasting movement with Cesar Chavez.  And after waiting decades, she has decided to share the story of how Chavez abused her. Dolores Huerta told the New York Times that she felt pressured to have sex with Cesar Chavez, while on a work trip in 1960. Six years later  — after they had founded the union for farmworkers–  she says Chavez raped her.  Shortly after the Times story came out, Huerta spoke to Latino USA host Maria Hinojosa. Hinojosa shared what she learned with NPR's Ailsa Chang. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Alejandra Marquez Janse, with audio engineering by Ted Mebane.It was edited by Courtney Dorning.Our executive producer is Sami Yenigun.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

95-year-old Dolores Huerta waited 60 years to finally tell her story of sexual abuse by once beloved labor rights leader Cesar Chavez. Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers Association with Chavez back in the 1960s. Even though Chavez died more than 3 decades ago, we’re only now hearing from dozens of women after a New York Times investigation detailed decades of abuse from women who say they were as young as 12 when Chavez began to sexually abuse them. Hear how the Chavez family is reacting, how the Labor union he founded is responding and why streets, buildings and celebrations may all change because of this investigation.
