    396: What if you were held captive by child soldiers?

    When a family sailing journey ends in capture by child soldiers during Mozambique's civil war, a man must protect his children while confronting the unsettling truth that his captors are both perpetrators of violence and children shaped by it. Today's episode featured Dave Muller. Dave has written about his experiences in a book entitled, “Not Child's Play”, available where books are sold or at https://notchildsplay.co.uk/ You can email Dave at dave.muller@notchildsplay.co.za Dave is on Instagram @davenotchildsplay, on Facebook @Dave Muller and on YouTube @DaveMuller-NotChildsPlayIn the 1960s and 1970s, both South Africa and Mozambique were part of the larger decolonization of Africa, with South Africa gaining full independence from Britain in 1961 and Mozambique gaining independence from Portugal in 1975. However, in the decolonization process, both were thrown into proxy battles, between old structures clinging to power and the larger global cold war between communist and capitalist superpowers. South Africa, even after independence, was still ruled by a white minority government, under the National Party. The National Party was populated mostly by the white ethnic group known as Afrikaners who spoke a language called Afrikaans. The National Party instituted apartheid, a brutally oppressive system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. South Africa shares a northeastern border with Mozambique. When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, they were ruled by the Communist party known as FRELIMO. FRELIMO became a major force opposing apartheid in neighboring South Africa. The South African apartheid government, in response to FRELIMO's opposition, actively destabilized Mozambique from the inside by propping up a rebel group known as RENAMO. This led to a violent 15-year civil war in Mozambique, between the ruling, communist-backed FRELIMO party and the South African-backed RENAMO rebel group. In the first part of today's episode, you'll hear our storyteller speak about growing up in South Africa during apartheid as a white man, but he was not an Afrikaner, and grew up in a family that was opposed to apartheid. The second part of the story takes place in Mozambique, where he and his family are held by the RENAMO rebel group and caught in the chaos and fighting between FRELIMO and RENAMO, the two warring factions in the civil war there. Of course there is much more to say about all of this, and Dave will speak to some of these issues as he experienced them. I encourage you all to read more about the brutal and complex history of decolonization and apartheid in Africa. And one final note, you'll hear Dave talking about “Arwen” several times. In case it isn't clear right away, he is referring to his boat that he built.

    Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta sexta-feira (27): O bicheiro Adilson Oliveira Coutinho Filho, conhecido como Adilsinho, foi preso na manhã desta quinta-feira (26) em Cabo Frio, na Região dos Lagos. A ação foi realizada pela Força Integrada de Combate ao Crime Organizado (Ficco/RJ), que reúne agentes da Polícia Federal e da Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro, com apoio do Ministério Público Federal. O governo do estado de São Paulo anunciou a liberação de R$ 10 milhões para apoio imediato às vítimas das fortes chuvas que atingem o litoral paulista em 2026. A Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Social (SEDS) informou que os municípios podem acionar os chamados Benefícios Eventuais, mecanismo ágil para atender famílias afetadas por alagamentos, deslizamentos e outras situações de calamidade pública. Um juiz federal dos Estados Unidos suspendeu a política do governo de Donald Trump que autorizava a deportação de imigrantes em situação irregular para “países terceiros”, ou seja, nações com as quais eles não possuem vínculo direto. A decisão judicial determina prazo de 15 dias para que o governo apresente recurso. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva se reuniu nesta quinta-feira com o líder religioso Ulisses Soares, em meio a críticas relacionadas ao desfile que o homenageou na Marquês de Sapucaí, no Rio de Janeiro. Levantamento da Paraná Pesquisas divulgado nesta sexta-feira (27) mostra empate técnico entre o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) e o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) em dois cenários de 1º turno. No primeiro, sem Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), Lula aparece com 39,6% das intenções de voto, contra 35,3% de Flávio. No segundo, sem Ratinho Junior (PSD), o petista marca 40,5%, enquanto o senador soma 36,6%. A margem de erro é de 2,2 pontos percentuais. No 2º turno, o filho do ex-presidente avança e fica com 44,4% das intenções de voto contra 43,8% de Lula. O presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), ministro Edson Fachin, solicitou ao Executivo e ao Legislativo a indicação de representantes para compor uma comissão técnica que irá propor um regime de transição para o pagamento de verbas classificadas como indenizatórias, conhecidas como “penduricalhos”. A sessão da CPMI do INSS desta quinta-feira (26) foi marcada por uma confusão generalizada que terminou em agressões físicas entre parlamentares. O estopim foi a aprovação da quebra de sigilo bancário de Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, o “Lulinha”. O ministro Gilmar Mendes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), afirmou que o inquérito das fake news tem “importância histórica” e classificou como “dramático” o início do governo do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) para a Corte. O decano declarou que sempre apoiou a investigação, aberta em 2019, que apura disseminação de notícias falsas, ameaças e ataques contra integrantes do tribunal. Pesquisa da Reuters em parceria com a Ipsos indica que a maioria dos norte-americanos apoia a deportação de imigrantes em situação irregular nos Estados Unidos, alinhando-se à posição do presidente Donald Trump. No entanto, o levantamento mostra desaprovação às táticas consideradas linha-dura adotadas pelo governo. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã. Learn more about your ad choices.

    A National Strategy to Prevent Scams — "United We Stand"

    Consumer Finance Monitor

    In a recent episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, Alan Kaplinsky was joined by Nick Bourke, Kate Griffin, and Ballard Spahr partner Joseph Schuster to discuss a groundbreaking new report from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program: United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams. The episode builds on Nick and Kate's prior appearance on the podcast last July, when the report was still in development. Now finalized, the report offers one of the most comprehensive frameworks to date for addressing what has become a systemic threat to American households and the broader financial system. The Scope of the Problem: A Systemic Threat Frauds and scams are no longer isolated consumer protection issues. According to the report, U.S. households are losing an estimated $196 billion annually to scams — roughly $1 billion every couple of days. One in five American adults reports having lost money to an online scam. As Nick Bourke explained, today's scams are: ·                 Technology-enabled ·                 Highly organized and industrialized ·                 Often operated by transnational criminal organizations ·                 Accelerating due to AI and faster payment systems The so-called scam "lifecycle" includes four stages: 1.     Lead – Hooking the victim 2.     Deceive – Building trust (often through impersonation or relationship-building) 3.     Bleed – Extracting funds 4.     Clean – Laundering proceeds, often through cryptocurrency or offshore channels Different sectors see only fragments of this lifecycle; social media platforms may see the "lead," financial institutions the "bleed," and law enforcement the "clean." That fragmentation allows criminals to scale operations while defenders remain siloed. Why Scams Are Rising Despite Heavy Investment As Kate Griffin noted, industry and government are investing heavily in prevention. Yet scams continue to grow. Why? ·                 Fragmentation across sectors: No single actor sees the entire attack sequence. ·                 Outdated reporting infrastructure: Federal systems at agencies like the FBI and FTC remain manual and technologically antiquated. ·                 Regulatory uncertainty: Financial institutions and technology platforms face unclear expectations about what data they can use and share. ·                 Speed of modern payments: Faster money movement means faster losses. Joseph Schuster emphasized that many financial institutions are strongly incentivized to prevent fraud as they often bear reputational and financial risk when scams succeed. But legal ambiguity, especially under statutes like the Fair Credit Reporting Act, can chill data-sharing and innovation. Core Recommendations from the Aspen Report The report outlines both high-level national reforms and granular operational improvements with more than 180 specific ideas. 1. Elevate Scam Prevention to a National Priority The report calls for: ·                 A designated federal lead (or "czar") to coordinate strategy ·                 A whole-of-government approach ·                 Clear national goals and metrics Without centralized leadership, enforcement and regulatory actions remain fragmented.  2. Modernize Law Enforcement Reporting Systems Federal reporting portals, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the FBI's complaint systems, and the FTC's databases, require modernization. The report recommends: ·                 Streamlined, automated reporting ·                 Backend data interoperability across agencies ·                 Advanced analytics and AI tools for enforcement 3. Establish Clear Duties to Act Paired with Safe Harbors One of the most important themes discussed was the need for: ·                 Clear expectations for banks, telecom companies, and digital platforms ·                 Safe harbors that protect companies when sharing scam intelligence in good faith Countries like Australia have already codified such frameworks. The U.S. has yet to establish similarly coordinated standards. 4. Build a Cross-Sector Information-Sharing Ecosystem Effective scam prevention requires: ·                 Exchange of scam indicators (malicious URLs, compromised phone numbers, device patterns) ·                 Interoperable information-sharing platforms ·                 Privacy-preserving architecture ·                 Legal clarity to mitigate antitrust and consumer reporting concerns Joseph noted that industry appetite for collaboration is strong but clarity and guardrails are essential. 5. Consider a U.S. National Anti-Scam Center The report explores the idea of a centralized "front door", potentially something like stopscams.gov, that would: ·                 Serve as a national reporting hub ·                 Provide victim resources ·                 Facilitate coordination among law enforcement ·                 Support public education campaigns Social Media and Platform Responsibility The discussion also addressed the evolving role of digital platforms. Scam activity frequently originates through: ·                 Paid advertisements ·                 Dating applications ·                 Direct messaging ·                 Fake investment websites Compared to banks, social media companies operate within a less clearly defined regulatory structure. Courts are increasingly developing theories of "platform liability," but statutory clarity is lacking. The report urges policymakers to define reasonable expectations for platforms — paired with safe harbors and practical tools that empower prevention rather than merely assign blame. What Happens Next? The key question: who implements this strategy? Kate Griffin emphasized that this is a whole-of-society problem requiring coordinated action by: ·                 Federal leadership ·                 Congress ·                 Financial institutions ·                 Telecom and digital platforms ·                 Law enforcement ·                 Civil society There have been encouraging developments, including: ·                 Treasury and State Department sanctions targeting transnational scam networks ·                 A joint DOJ–FBI–Secret Service initiative targeting Southeast Asian scam operations o   But much more remains to be done. Nick Bourke suggested that, one year from now, real success would include: ·                 A designated federal anti-scam lead ·                 A congressional commission ·                 Measurable national prevention goals ·                 Corporate adoption of formalized anti-scam strategies Joseph Schuster added that industry innovation is ongoing, particularly in artificial intelligence, biometrics, and authentication, but warned that fragmented state-level regulation could complicate progress. Key Takeaways Alan Kaplinsky closed the episode with several important observations: ·                 Fraud and scams are now a systemic threat, not a niche compliance issue. ·                 Prevention, not just reimbursement, must be the organizing principle. ·                 Coordination matters as much as authority. ·                 Good-faith companies need regulatory clarity, not just enforcement pressure. ·                 Reducing scams strengthens trust in the U.S. financial system and digital economy. The Aspen report reframes the debate. Rather than assigning blame, it calls for aligned incentives, shared responsibility, and coordinated national action. If the title of the report, United We Stand, becomes reality, the United States may finally begin to bend the curve on one of the most costly and fast-growing threats facing consumers today.

    A hose can start a lawsuit—and a precedent can end one. We dive into two fresh BC court decisions that show how civil law balances fairness, timing, and finality. First, we break down a neighbourhood flooding dispute where homeowners sought to amend their notice of civil claim to add trespass by water and psychological injury tied to both the intrusion and an insurance denial. We explain why “trespass by water” is a real, narrow pathway—requiring a direct projection of water—and how it differs from nuisance or negligence. We also unpack the duty of good faith in insurance, when mental distress damages become possible, and how judges weigh late amendments against limitation periods, prejudice, and trial readiness.Then we shift to a West Kelowna resort where restrictive covenants forced unit owners into a single rental pool. Years after the Court of Appeal found those covenants unenforceable for uncertainty, a new group of owners sought the same relief—only to face “new” evidence and a different ruling in chambers. The Court of Appeal stepped in, calling that relitigation an abuse of process and reaffirming stare decisis. We outline why finality matters, how judicial economy protects everyone, and what this win means for owners who want the freedom to rent privately or choose different management.If you care about property rights, insurance law, and the nuts and bolts of civil procedure, this one offers practical takeaways: plead early and clearly, disclose injuries promptly, and do not expect a second bite at a settled apple. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves legal insight, and leave us a quick review to tell us where you stand on late amendments and legal do-overs.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

    No 3 em 1 desta terça-feira (24), o destaque foi a guerra entre Ucrânia e Rússia que completa quatro anos nesta terça-feira (24) sem sinais de uma resolução diplomática próxima. O presidente ucraniano Volodymyr Zelensky reafirmou o compromisso de continuar lutando pela soberania do país contra a invasão russa liderada por Vladimir Putin. Reportagem: Luca Bassani. O secretário de Segurança Pública de São Paulo e relator da proposta, Guilherme Derrite, reuniu-se com Wellington César Lima e Silva, ministro da Justiça e Segurança Pública, para tratar do PL Antifacção. O texto pode ser protocolado nesta terça-feira (24) na Câmara dos Deputados. Reportagem: André Anelli. O Supremo Tribunal Federal e o Congresso Nacional articulam a criação de uma regra de transição para regulamentar o pagamento de penduricalhos no serviço público. O objetivo da proposta, discutida entre o presidente do STF, Edson Fachin, e as Presidências da Câmara, Hugo Motta (Republicanos) e do Senado, Davi Alcolumbre (União), é evitar que complementos remuneratórios ultrapassem o teto constitucional vigente. Reportagem: Janaína Camelo. O empresário Daniel Vorcaro presta depoimento presencial na próxima terça-feira (03) na CAE (Comissão de Assuntos Econômicos) do Senado Federal. A oitiva busca esclarecer pontos sobre o caso Banco Master e um dos impasses envolvia o deslocamento do dono da instituição até Brasília. Reportagem: Beatriz Souza. O governo federal atua para evitar que o presidente Lula (PT) sofra desgastes com o Supremo Tribunal Federal devido ao caso do Banco Master. A intenção é manter a figura do Executivo distante da investigação conduzida pela Corte. Reportagem: André Anelli. O prefeito Ricardo Nunes (MDB) rebateu o CEO da Enel, Flavio Cattaneo, que afirmou que nem "Jesus Cristo" evitaria apagões em São Paulo. Nunes declarou que "nem Jesus salva" a empresa. A Aneel (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica) reuniu-se para discutir o contrato da distribuidora, afirmando que a concessionária perdeu a legitimidade para continuar em São Paulo. Reportagem: Julia Fermino. Em entrevista exclusiva para a Jovem Pan, os advogados Marcelo Ferreira e Felipe Dalleprane alegam falta de provas contra Rivaldo Barbosa, ex-chefe da Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro, no caso Marielle Franco. Ferreira também falou sobre a falta de ligação com os irmãos Brazão, acusados de serem os mandantes do crime contra Marielle e seu motorista, Anderson Gomes. Reportagem: Janaína Camelo. O diretório estadual do PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores) em São Paulo cobra que as definições sobre as chapas para as eleições de 2026 sejam concluídas até março. Lideranças paulistas discutem sobre Geraldo Alckmin (PSB) se manter como vice na chapa encabeçada pelo presidente Lula (PT). Reportagem: Marcelo Mattos. O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), e o governador do Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio Castro (PL), definiram a estratégia eleitoral para 2026. Castro deve disputar o Senado Federal, enquanto Douglas Ruas (PL) será o nome apoiado para o governo estadual. Em paralelo, o governador Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) negou que o PL tenha a prerrogativa de definir o vice em sua chapa de reeleição em São Paulo. Reportagem: Misael Mainetti. O presidente do PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, afirmou que Michelle Bolsonaro e o deputado Nikolas Ferreira (PL) apoiarão Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) como pré-candidato à Presidência. Além disso, Carlos Bolsonaro cobrou alinhamento e engajamento total na campanha do irmão para 2026, e pediu que a sigla observe quem não está apoiando. Reportagem: Matheus Dias.

    Each year, as many as 250 million Americans face civil legal problems like eviction, debt collection, and substandard housing. These problems are disproportionately shouldered by racially and economically marginalized people, particularly women of color. Civil courts and legal aid organizations are supposed to protect their rights, yet more than 90 percent of low-income people receive inadequate or no legal assistance. Instead, access to justice is reserved for those who can afford its high price. For those who can't, the repercussions can be devastating, from homelessness and loss of public benefits to broken families and diminished health. Uncivil Democracy: How Access to Justice Shapes Political Power (Princeton UP, 2026) looks at the US civil justice system through the eyes of the people whose very citizenship is indelibly shaped by it. Jamila Michener and Mallory SoRelle show how civil legal problems, and the institutions meant to address them, greatly erode trust in the legal system among marginalized communities, undermining their broader sense of democratic citizenship and political standing. While legal representation offers vital protections, increased access to justice through an ever-growing supply of lawyers does not address the structural problems that generate demand for lawyers in the first place. Looking at cases involving unfair evictions and substandard housing, Michener and SoRelle demonstrate how community groups such as tenants' unions can fill this justice gap and provide the means to build political power that transforms the conditions that create precarity. Drawing on eye-opening qualitative evidence and a wealth of historical and survey data, Uncivil Democracy explains why collective organizing holds the greatest promise for altering the systems that create civil legal problems and exercising the political power necessary for meaningful change.

    En Ucrania, la invasión a gran escala de Rusia ha separado a muchas familias, y a algunas para siempre. Otras han tenido suerte en su desgracia, y algunas esposas han visto volver a sus maridos. Pero reacostumbrarse a la vida civil no siempre es fácil. Un informe de Catalina Gómez desde Chernihiv. Maria lee un cuento a los pequeños de la escuela prescolar donde trabaja en Chernihiv, una ciudad a alrededor de 70 km de la frontera con Bielorrusia y que estuvo sitiada durante los primeras semanas de la invasión a gran escala lanzada por Rusia el 24 de febrero de 2022. Una búsqueda permanente Ella sufrió las consecuencias de la guerra desde los primeros días cuando su esposo, militar, fue capturado por las fuerzas rusas y convertido en prisionero de guerra. “Antes de que mi esposo regresara, la vida era sin colores”, dice. Desde entonces, su vida estuvo organizada alrededor de una búsqueda diaria. Cada jornada de Maria comenzaba frente a una pantalla. “Cada día leía noticias, miraba lo que publicaban no solo nuestros canales de Telegram, sino también los canales rusos, ellos muy a menudo informan sobre intercambios de prisioneros”, detalla. La búsqueda terminó el 2 de octubre de 2025 cuando su esposo regresó. Aquel día fue posiblemente el día más feliz de su vida. “Ya no necesito buscar información, hacer eso cada día. Sé que está en casa, puedo llamarlo, hablar con él en cualquier momento. Ya no busco nada”, comenta. La vida durante esos años no solo fue dura por la ausencia de su marido, sino que también tenía que acompañar a su hija, que tenía tres años cuando su padre fue capturado. “Cuando llegó, al principio ella lo rechazaba, pero ahora ya se comunica con él como antes de que lo capturaran”, indica. Volver a la vida civil, un camino difícil Maria tenía miedo de cómo sería el reencuentro. Ha conocido la historia de muchos hombres que vuelven con problemas para adaptarse de nuevo a la vida civil. También temía cómo sería la relación entre los dos. Hay muchas parejas que no han podido rehacer su vida y se han separado. Pero su caso fue diferente. “Aún está en proceso de adaptación, pero fue más fácil que para otros chicos que tienen problemas psicológicos. Hay algunos matices en su comportamiento, pero no es nada serio. En general está bien. No diría que fue difícil volver a estar juntos. Fue como si se hubiera ido ayer y hubiera regresado hoy. Tenemos un vínculo tan fuerte que no tuvimos que acostumbrarnos el uno al otro. Para mí fue como si hubiera pasado solo un día”, añade. Después del proceso de readaptación inicial volvió a casa, pero un tiempo después empezó a sentirse enfermo. El cuerpo empezó a reaccionar a la tensión que vivió durante tantos años. “Decían que allá siempre tenían hambre, y la relación con la comida cambia radicalmente, y cuesta tiempo acostumbrarse a no tener que preocuparse. Cuando regresó, empezó a enfermarse, resfriados simples. Yo le decía: ‘¿Cómo es posible que en tres años y medio no te enfermaste?'. Él decía que allá estaban siempre bajo nervios y no pensaban en eso. Y aquí, cuando regresó, empezaron a aparecer esas dolencias. Cuando uno vive en adrenalina constante, bajo tensión, y luego se relaja, el cuerpo reacciona así”, analiza Maria. Los ex prisioneros de guerra pueden dejar el servicio militar una vez liberados. Pero su esposo ha decidido que quiere retomar sus labores. “Tengo miedo, pero no lo convenceré. Si él quiere ir, irá”, lamenta su esposa. María intenta adaptarse a su nueva vida. Para ella estos cuatro años han sido una especie de infierno con un final feliz. Pero reconoce que la pesadilla solo terminará cuando cese la guerra.

    Each year, as many as 250 million Americans face civil legal problems like eviction, debt collection, and substandard housing. These problems are disproportionately shouldered by racially and economically marginalized people, particularly women of color. Civil courts and legal aid organizations are supposed to protect their rights, yet more than 90 percent of low-income people receive inadequate or no legal assistance. Instead, access to justice is reserved for those who can afford its high price. For those who can't, the repercussions can be devastating, from homelessness and loss of public benefits to broken families and diminished health. Uncivil Democracy: How Access to Justice Shapes Political Power (Princeton UP, 2026) looks at the US civil justice system through the eyes of the people whose very citizenship is indelibly shaped by it. Jamila Michener and Mallory SoRelle show how civil legal problems, and the institutions meant to address them, greatly erode trust in the legal system among marginalized communities, undermining their broader sense of democratic citizenship and political standing. While legal representation offers vital protections, increased access to justice through an ever-growing supply of lawyers does not address the structural problems that generate demand for lawyers in the first place. Looking at cases involving unfair evictions and substandard housing, Michener and SoRelle demonstrate how community groups such as tenants' unions can fill this justice gap and provide the means to build political power that transforms the conditions that create precarity. Drawing on eye-opening qualitative evidence and a wealth of historical and survey data, Uncivil Democracy explains why collective organizing holds the greatest promise for altering the systems that create civil legal problems and exercising the political power necessary for meaningful change. Host Ursula Hackett is Reader in Politics at Royal Holloway, University of London, where she specialises in the study of public policymaking and litigation in the US.

    In this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, host Simma Lieberman welcomes Verna Williams, CEO of Equal Justice Works, former law professor, and former dean, for a powerful conversation about race, justice, and access to legal representation in America. Verna explains why race remains a necessary topic—not to assign personal blame, but to understand how systems shaped by slavery and segregation continue to influence opportunity and social hierarchy today. She reflects on growing up in the Washington, DC and Maryland area, attending both predominantly white and predominantly Black schools. Those experiences sharpened her awareness of being "different" and highlighted how segregated many of our lives still are. Even today, she encounters moments when someone tells her she is the first Black person they've had a meaningful conversation with—evidence of how separation persists. As CEO of Equal Justice Works—the nation's largest postgraduate public-interest legal fellowship program—Verna works to address a staggering reality: 92% of low-income people's civil legal needs go unmet. She explains how civil legal problems such as eviction, wage garnishment, loss of benefits, and family instability create economic insecurity and can even lead to involvement in the criminal legal system. Unlike criminal cases, there is no guaranteed right to counsel in high-stakes civil matters, leaving millions to navigate life-altering situations alone. Verna describes how Equal Justice Works partners with law firms, corporations, and foundations to fund fellowships that send lawyers into underserved communities. She highlights the organization's Disaster Resilience Program, created after Hurricane Katrina, which helps communities navigate FEMA claims, insurance issues, document replacement, and preparedness planning. She also shares her personal journey—from broadcast journalism to law—motivated by fairness and shaped by the civil rights and women's rights movements. Her career has included work on voting rights, women's rights, veterans' benefits, and debt collection reform. She also argued—and won—a 5–4 U.S. Supreme Court case establishing that schools must address known student-on-student sexual harassment under Title IX. The conversation explores immigration representation, reports of ICE detentions at court hearings, and practical ways non-lawyers can help—through translation, court accompaniment, and local volunteer efforts. Verna encourages listeners to stay informed through reputable sources, vote, and engage locally in school boards and city councils. She also shares personal reflections on music and film—and clarifies her role as Michelle Obama's oral historian during the early White House years, after the two were law school classmates. This episode connects race, law, and economic justice—and offers clear examples of how everyday engagement can strengthen democracy.

His road forward wasn't clear, though, and for a time, he began working at FedEx while attending college, pursuing a degree in criminal justice. Eventually, he'd pick the game back up and took to teaching other players how to better their game, which launched his social media empire that he operates today.The interview covers Civil's path through uncertainty to becoming one of the most well-known gamers on the internet, why he pursued teaching instead of competitive play, and his recent public declaration of his Christian faith. For more content, check out our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia Check out our all-new merch collection: https://shop.dirtymomedia.com/  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
