In this episode, we dive deep into America's social crisis with sociologist Charlie Derber, author of “Bonfire of America: Sociocide, Broken Relationships, and the Quest for Democracy.” Derber explores the concept of "sociocide"—the systemic unraveling of societal bonds—arguing that hyper-individualism, neoliberal economics, and political polarization have eroded trust, community, and collective identity. The discussion traces how Reagan-era policies, Silicon Valley's disruption, and the Democratic Party's abandonment of class solidarity have fueled Trumpism as a symptom, not an anomaly. While bleak, Derber highlights grassroots resistance as a path forward, warning against nostalgia for a pre-Trump "normal" that never addressed inequality. A provocative mix of history, sociology, and urgent political critique that concludes with a tone of hope for a better future.     Order the book: https://tinyurl.com/5t3ye96s Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/  Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/about   #Sociocide# Trumpism# Neoliberalism# Political polarization# Social capital# Decline of democracy# Economic inequality# Authoritarianism# Charlie Derber# Leftist podcast# Breakdown of society# Civic deserts# Loneliness epidemic# Working-class alienation# Democratic Party failure# Silicon Valley billionaires# Fascism in America# Social media isolation# Resistance movements# Fight oligarchy# Political sociology# American crisis# Democracy podcast# Pat Cummings#Greg Godels#ZZ Blog#Coming From Left Field#CFLF#Podcast#zzblog#mltoday

From the constitutional thinkers of the early 20th century to the post-revolutionary reformers and today's civic-minded youth, Iran's intellectual tradition has been shaped by struggle, rupture, and reinvention. In this episode, we explore the insights of scholars Ali Mirsepassi and Mehrzad Boroujerdi—tracing the rise of intellectual statesmen, the impact of Counter-Enlightenment thought, and the overlooked role of figures like ‘Abdu'l-Bahá. We ask: What is the role of the intellectual today? And how are a new generation of Iranians reimagining thought, trust, and belonging from the ground up?

Public leaders often find themselves in situations of disagreement -- and that's not inherently bad.

On this half-hour episode, Lehrman of Social Prosperity Partners circles back with Municipal Equation to go over the overarching importance of a shared sense of purpose and effective communication points so leaders can discuss disagreements and other intersections productively and fulfill the reality that our communities' people depend on it.

Democracy is more than a single moment at the ballot box—it's a continuous, dynamic process shaped by the collective actions of engaged individuals. "Reclaiming Civic Power" is a program designed to inspire and equip participants with the tools to stay civically active, especially in the critical periods between elections. This program emphasizes that while legislative agendas are one pathway to change, there are numerous other pathways—grassroots organizations, advocacy campaigns, cultural movements, and community-led initiatives—that hold immense power in shaping our political future. The program will delve into essential questions for anyone seeking to make a difference: What does meaningful engagement look like after an election? How do we continue working toward our goals, even when we disagree with those in power? Through thought-provoking conversations and practical strategies, audience members will gain insight into how young people are driving change through organizing, coalition building, and challenging the status quo. This is a call to action for individuals of all generations to reclaim their role in shaping democracy. Together, we will uncover strategies for sustaining motivation, reclaiming civic power, and shaping a political landscape that reflects our collective values. No matter your experiences, "Reclaiming Civic Power" will motivate and empower you to stay engaged in shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.

In this special episode of the Powerful Ladies Podcast, I sit down with the amazing Cara Stewart for a Powerful Conversation Series episode that's been on my heart for a while. I've been having so many private conversations, within the Powerful Ladies community, with clients, and with friends, about how we can take meaningful civic action when it feels like the system isn't working for us. Getting people to talk publicly about civic engagement has been harder than I expected. A lot of invited guests said no out of fear of backlash, which is exactly why I knew we had to have this conversation. Cara was brave enough to say yes, and she brought her deep experience in public affairs, crisis communications, and local activism to the table. She's the chair of the Costa Mesa Democratic Club and runs a firm called WunderMarx. We talked about what's happening in Orange County, how it shifted from a red county to a more progressive, civically engaged region, and why it's so important for all of us to reclaim our power as citizens, especially now.

In a 2023 Gallup study of 142 countries, younger adultsreported greater loneliness levels than adults over 65. The rates of loneliness were 10% higher among people 19 to 29 (27 % reporting they were fairly lonely)than for older adults over 65 (17%).Children that participate in mentoring programs with older adults improved their physical and mental health and educational status. Civic engagement among college students increases when paired with older volunteers.Intergenerational relationships benefit both younger and older generations by reducing ageism and age discrimination, bridging differences, and identifying shared values.Eight in 10 older adults would like to connect across generations and 92 % of Americans believe intergenerational activities can help reduceloneliness across all ages.

In the first segment of today's Project Censored, Mickey welcomes back Lauren Harper and Seth Stern from the Freedom of the Press Foundation. They discuss several matters including their latest FOIA work on how the Trump administration has been treating immigrants, students and other vulnerable groups across the country. They provide an update on Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk and her release from detention in Louisiana, as well as updates on attacks on non-profits and the press at large, including attacks on major establishment media outlets. Later in the program, Mickey welcomes back the iconic attorney and prolific author Ralph Nader. They discuss his new book, out from Seven Stories Press, Civic Self-Respect. It's a how-to guide on being a more meaningfully engaged citizen with steps anyone can use to fight against growing authoritarianism in the U.S. and how we can create a more robust and representational democratic republic and protect our civil liberties before it's too late. GUESTS: Lauren Harper is Daniel Ellsberg Chair on Government Secrecy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation (www.freedom.press). Seth Stern is Director of Advocacy, also at the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Founded in 2012, the Foundation is a non-profit organization that defends both freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Among its projects is the Press Freedom tracker, a database of press-freedom violations in the U.S. Ralph Nader's name has been a household word in the US since the 1960s. His activism has covered issues from product safety to health-care policy, and he has founded multiple public-interest organizations.   The post Defending Freedom of Speech and Civil Rights Against Trump / Ralph Nader on “Civic Self-Respect” appeared first on KPFA.
