Drew Perkins is joined by Neal McCluskey to discuss his new book, Fighting for the Freedom to Learn. We move beyond the common narrative that school choice is a modern, free-market invention of the 1950s, instead tracing the historical roots of educational pluralism back to the colonial era.

The "Common School" Conflict: The centralized, government-controlled education system introduced by reformers like Horace Mann historically marginalized minority and religious groups, leading to immediate pushback that still echoes in today's disputes over curriculum and religious content. Pluralism as a Solution: Educational choice is not just an economic policy; it is a social one. It allows diverse communities to embrace their own values—whether religious, philosophical, or pedagogical—without needing to impose those values on everyone else. Accountability vs. Content: A robust pluralistic system can prioritize parental choice while still maintaining accountability, ensuring students learn essential skills (reading, writing, math) without forcing a uniform, state-mandated worldview. Why Culture Wars Persist: Universal school choice programs are currently expanding across the U.S. not just as a reaction to COVID-19, but as a legislative strategy to resolve long-standing disputes over which values and histories are taught in public classrooms.

This latest episode of the Just Politics podcast takes a close look at the fragile and rapidly shifting landscape of voting rights in the United States. Host Eilis McCulloh is joined by Eliza Sweren-Becker, deputy director of the Brennan Center's Voting Rights and Elections Program, and by Reverend Kendall L. McBroom, director of Civil and Human Rights at the General Board of Church and Society and an ordained elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Together, they examine the current state of voting rights, the impact of recent court decisions on the exercise of those rights, and how faith communities can support voter engagement and counteract suppression efforts.
An historic tape was found. This week features a remarkable 1970 recording of Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, and other members of the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), made by 20-year-old WBAI reporter Liza Cowan. Rediscovered nearly 50 years later by Making Gay History in the Lesbian Herstory Archives, the tape captures Rivera and Johnson speaking candidly about their lives, gender expression, discrimination, sexuality, and activism, as well as their efforts to create community and support for street youth through STAR House. This is what is believed to be the earliest known recording of Rivera and Johnson and offering an extraordinary first-person glimpse of two pioneering trans activists at the beginning of their political lives. In the news this week, a new report finds LGBTQ+ people make up more than 12 percent of the U.S. population, while a federal judge again strikes down Texas's drag ban. LGBTQ+ asylum seekers face heightened danger amid a migration crisis in Spain's Ceuta, and South African activists mobilize against an anti-LGBTQ+ “family values” conference. And in Ireland, Cork opens the country's first permanent LGBTQ+ museum exhibition, featuring a historic Rainbow Flag from San Francisco.

In the latest episode of the Theory of Change podcast, Nazanin Ash, CEO of Welcome.US, discussed how community-driven sponsorship could revolutionize refugee resettlement, bypass political gridlock, and offer a scalable alternative to overburdened government systems. Global forced displacement is at an all-time high, and standard, bureaucratic response models are failing to keep pace. Ash argued that mobilizing local communities rather than relying solely on government aid can unlock massive potential and provide orderly, human-centered pathways for newcomers. The problem: Traditional global systems are built for short-term, state-versus-state displacement, but modern conflicts — predominantly civil wars — are protracted, lasting decades on average. As a result, massive, unmanaged crises crowd out long-term development funds. “Civil wars burn forever. They're really tough to resolve. And our international tools for conflict resolution are really bad at solving them,” Ash said. By the numbers: By shifting the focus from a government-managed process to direct community sponsorship, Ash said that Welcome.US demonstrated unprecedented scale during recent crises such as the war in Ukraine: • 800,000 newcomers welcomed by American communities in under three years • Four times as many individuals resettled through private sponsorship than through formal U.S. government pathways over the same timeframe • $7 billion in time and money leveraged directly by local sponsors to pay for travel, housing, and integration • 2 million Americans across 26,000 zip codes participated in sponsoring displaced individuals “The appetite for doing this is so strong. The capacity to do it is so real,” Ash said. Unlike formal government systems that assign refugees to fixed locations based on strict physical requirements, Ash said that private matching platforms allow newcomers to exercise choice and retain dignity. “If you know something about humanitarian crises and forced displacement … what you experience most acutely is the loss of choice and the loss of agency. And of course, nothing about our traditional systems lets you have that choice or agency,” she said. Meanwhile, community members who sponsored families have become active advocates, filing lawsuits, lobbying Congress, and defeating hundreds of anti-immigrant state bills. “Proximity changes what you protect,” Ash said. What to watch: Welcome.US currently operates in the United States, and Ash said the organization has plenty of work on its plate. “But we did purchase the rights to Welcome.world,” she added.

Civil rights attorney Dave Rankin joins Maren Chaloupka to discuss a career spent fighting for people whose stories are too often hidden behind prison walls. Through the case of Terry Cooper, a man whose death at Clinton Correctional Facility ultimately led to a $9.25 million verdict, Dave explores the challenge of uncovering the truth, confronting institutional indifference, and helping jurors see the humanity of people society has chosen to forget. As he prepares for the upcoming Trial Lawyers College event, Dave shares what continues to drive his work and why learning to tell these complicated human stories with greater intention can be another powerful tool in the fight for justice.

In this episode of Talk Law Radio, attorneys Todd Marquardt and Benjamin T. Kemmy lead a discussion covering personal financial planning strategies and the legal complexities of high-profile medical malpractice claims. Episode Summary The episode opens with Todd Marquardt presenting the "Financial Focus" segment on behalf of Financial Planning HQ. Marquardt addresses the common financial dilemma faced by parents: prioritizing saving for a child's college education versus preparing for retirement. He outlines current college cost projections, discusses alternative options such as community college and merit/athletic scholarships, and highlights modern trends where families emphasize return on investment (ROI) when choosing career paths. In the primary segment of the show, Marquardt is joined by San Antonio attorney Benjamin T. Kemmy, whose practice focuses on personal injury and medical malpractice. Together, they analyze the civil medical malpractice lawsuit filed by Lindsay Clancy—a former Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse facing murder charges for strangling her three children during a severe mental health crisis—against her treating psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and medical facilities. The discussion breaks down the legal framework of medical negligence, the standard of care in psychiatric treatment, the challenges of proving causation, and the key differences between civil and criminal proceedings. Key Takeaways Values-Based Financial Planning (College vs. Retirement): Financial decisions regarding higher education should be aligned with family values and long-term security. Relying solely on retirement delay to fund college can lead to financial instability, whereas alternatives—such as local free community college programs or merit and athletic scholarships—can ease the burden. Modern college planning increasingly focuses on the return on investment (ROI) of a chosen degree relative to career earning potential. Core Elements of a Medical Malpractice Claim: To recover civil money damages, a plaintiff must establish four key legal elements: Duty, Breach, Causation, and Damages. Physicians owe patients a duty to provide care that meets the accepted national standard of a reasonable and prudent practitioner in similar circumstances. Breaches in psychiatric cases often center around failure to obtain proper patient history, improper medication management (uncoordinated polypharmacy), and failure to investigate severe symptoms such as intrusive thoughts or command hallucinations. The Challenge of Proving Causation in Psychiatric Cases: Demonstrating that medical negligence directly caused a tragic event (such as self-harm or harm to others) is often the most difficult burden for a plaintiff's legal team. Courts often scrutinize whether an act was an independent action of the patient or a foreseeable outcome of prescribed psychotropic medications and uncoordinated care. Civil Lawsuits vs. Criminal Trials: Burden of Proof: Criminal cases require the state to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to strip someone of liberty. Civil lawsuits require a lower standard—preponderance of the evidence (proving allegations are more likely true than not) to award financial compensation. Roles of Judge and Jury: In civil trials, the judge decides issues of law and admissible evidence, while a jury of non-experts acts as the sole judge of the facts, evaluating conflicting expert testimony to determine liability. Communication in Healthcare: Lack of communication and poor record coordination among multiple healthcare providers represent one of the most frequent root causes of medical negligence. -Sponsored by Marquardt Law Firm and Financial Planning HQ -Go to marquardtlawfirm.com and financialplanninghq.net If you found this episode valuable, please Subscribe and hit the Notification Bell on YouTube.

We are in the fight of our lives against a neofascist transnational crime syndicate obsessed with gutting your voting rights and turning the DOJ into a petty MAGA HOA. But if you think it's time to curl up and surrender in despair, here to wake you up is Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and the daughter of relentless Civil Rights organizers, to break down exactly how we defeat this authoritarian coup. The MAGA mob is breaking laws and shredding democratic norms for one simple reason: they are absolutely terrified of our collective power. Maya's parents faced down the exact same terror during the Civil Rights Era, landing on Nixon's enemies list while fighting off a corrupt government, and they won. Maya carries their legacy, reminding us that despair is the oppressor's weapon. Her message is a powerful call-to-action: organized joy, relentless community building, and "fighting forward" are how we create the next era of civil rights. They want you exhausted and apathetic, but we will rebuild our democracy. Gen Z, you especially have the sheer numbers to help stop the coup if you show up for the kind of world you want to live in and flex your power.

Voters Right Act, Chicago Tribune, Slate, NY Times On the Eve of the 2026 March on Washington, we reflect back to August 6th, 1965 the Voting Rights Act was Signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. C.T. Vivian, a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement, was violently attacked by Sheriff Jim Clark while attempting to escort a group of African Americans to register to vote. Steve Fiffer is a New York Times Bestselling Author. His Book is "It's in The Action": Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior, Rev C.T. Vivian's Memoir.Reverend Vivian was a Major Force in the Fight for Civil Rights & Voters Rights in the Twentieth Century till he Passed July 17th, 2020.Regardless of Social Status, Party Affiliation or Belief, Race: Libertarian, Democrat, Progressive or Republican or Other, All Americans Should Have the Right to Vote!Senator Barack Obama, speaking at Selma's Brown Chapel on the March 2007, anniversary of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, recognized Vivian in his opening remarks in the words of Martin L. King Jr. as "the greatest preacher to ever live."Studying for the ministry at American Baptist Theological Seminary (now called American Baptist College) in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1959, Vivian met James Lawson, who was teaching Mohandas Gandhi's nonviolent direct action strategy to the Nashville Student Movement. Soon Lawson's students, including Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, James Bevel, John Lewis and others from American Baptist, Fisk University and Tennessee State University, organized a systematic nonviolent sit-in campaign at local lunch counters.Vivian helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, and helped organize the first sit-ins in Nashville in 1960 and the first civil rights march in 1961. In 1961, Vivian participated in Freedom Rides. He worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the national director of affiliates for the SCLC. During the summer following the Selma Voting Rights Movement, Vivian is perhaps best known for, Vivian challenged Sheriff Jim Clark on the steps of the courthouse in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 during a drive to promote Black people to register to vote."You can turn your back on me, but you cannot turn your back upon the idea of justice," Vivian said to Clark as reporters recorded the interaction. "You can turn your back now and you can keep the club in your hand, but you cannot beat down justice. And we will register to vote, because as citizens of these United States we have the right to do it."Vivian conceived and directed an educational program, Vision, and put 702 Alabama students in college with scholarships (this program later became Upward Bound). His 1970 Black Power and the American Myth was the first book on the Civil Rights Movement by a member of Martin Luther King's staff.On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama named Vivian as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.Steve's own Memoir is "Three Quarters, Two Dimes, and a Nickel".

O Brasil debate a possibilidade de banimento do Discord após um caso envolvendo uma adolescente de 13 anos em Naviraí, Mato Grosso do Sul. Segundo as investigações, a jovem teria sido pressionada por integrantes de uma comunidade na plataforma a praticar automutilação durante uma transmissão ao vivo, o que culminou na perda de sua vida. Após o ocorrido, a Polícia Civil deflagrou a Operação Lívia para identificar os responsáveis por chantagem e manipulação psicológica. O debate ganhou proporções nacionais quando figuras públicas, como a primeira-dama Janja, defenderam publicamente a suspensão da plataforma no país. Em resposta, órgãos federais como a Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU) e a Agência Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD) iniciaram processos e fiscalizações para cobrar respostas e apurar falhas na proteção de crianças e adolescentes. Por sua vez, o Discord declarou que desativou o servidor ligado ao caso antes da confirmação do ocorrido e comprometeu-se a adotar novas medidas de segurança, como filtros avançados e melhorias na verificação de idade. Este programa analisa os detalhes desta investigação, a estrutura das comunidades online e os limites jurídicos sobre o controle das redes no Brasil. ___________________
Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta segunda-feira (24):No editorial do programa Os Pingos nos Is, o comentarista André Marsiglia analisa como a ausência de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) e Romeu Zema (Novo) no debate realizado pela Band e transmitido pela Jovem Pan, neste domingo (24). Para o comentarista, a ausência dos três candidatos foi o auge do debate. Além disso, Marsiglia reforça que a ausência deles não abala suas candidaturas e, de até certa forma, fortalece elas. “A ausência dos principais candidatos foi de certo o auge do debate. Isso deveria levar a todos nós a uma reflexão. Porque se um candidato deixa de comparecer a um debate e a sua candidatura não sofre nem abalo na preferência do eleitor... Se um candidato deixa de comparecer a um debate e a sua candidatura até se fortalece, como mostram algumas pesquisas, o eleitor está tentando nos dizer algo”, disse.As ausências de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) e Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) em debate realizado pela Band não foram esquecidas por seus adversários. Augusto Cury (Avante) chegou a ensaiar a não participação, mas voltou atrás. As ausências foram classificadas como irresponsabilidade. Renan Santos (Missão) chamou os candidatos Lula e Flávio de fracassados e fez duras críticas aos adversários. Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) chamou Lula e Flávio de fujões. André Marsiglia e Roberto Motta comentam se a presença dos candidatos em debates deveriam ou não ser obrigatórias. Romeu Zema (Novo) foi pouco citado pelos adversários. O candidato ao governo da Paraíba Olímpio Rocha (PSOL) acionou o Ministério Público Eleitoral (MPE) contra Renan Santos após declarações e falas dirigidas à primeira-dama, Janja, durante o debate presidencial deste domingo (23). Renan criticou a ausência do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) e fez referências à primeira-dama. Ele disse que Lula teria ficado com “aquela Janja” e que encontraria “companhias melhores” no evento. O apresentador do Os Pingos Nos Is, André Marsiglia, e o comentarista Roberto Motta analisaram a ausência de Romeu Zema (Novo) no debate dos candidatos à Presidência da República, realizado pela Band neste domingo (23). Devido a ausência, foi ventilada uma possível desistência do ex-governador de Minas Gerais da candidatura, prontamente negada pela campanha do candidato. O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), Flávio Dino, determinou a anulação da liberação de emendas parlamentares que haviam sido indicadas por presidentes de partidos políticos.

No “Estadão Analisa” desta segunda-feira, 25, Carlos Andreazza fala sobre o momento das eleições presidenciais de 2026. De um lado, uma investigação da Polícia Federal identificou um operador financeiro que era usado pela lobista Roberta Luchsinger para realizar saques em dinheiro vivo e pagamentos em espécie. Uma das suspeitas é que esse operador pagou passagens aéreas para Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, filho mais velho do presidente Lula. Roberta e Lulinha são investigados por suspeitas de tráfico de influência no governo. A PF encontrou diálogos de Roberta com esse operador no telefone celular dela. O homem, identificado com Ulisses Barbosa, também trabalhava como motorista. Com base nesses elementos, a PF informou ao Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) em um dos inquéritos abertos sobre Roberta e Lulinha que ainda vai aprofundar a análise sobre esse operador financeiro, na expressão usada pela própria corporação, que poderia resultar em suspeitas do crime de lavagem de dinheiro. Do outro, o candidato do PL à Presidência da República, Flávio Bolsonaro, reagiu nesta segunda-feira, 24, ao ser novamente questionado sobre a prestação de contas relacionada ao filme Dark Horse. “Vocês vão parar no tempo?”, indagou. Segundo ele, a responsabilidade pelas explicações não é dele. Três meses já se passaram desde que Flávio disse que apresentaria publicamente um relatório detalhado sobre o financiamento do longa-metragem, que contou com verba de Daniel Vorcaro, do Banco Master. Flávio foi perguntado sobre a decisão de deixar a gestão dos recursos destinados ao projeto sob responsabilidade da produtora Go Up. De acordo com o candidato, a prestação de contas já foi apresentada no âmbito de uma investigação em São Paulo e divulgada pela imprensa. Ele afirmou ainda que a produtora teria gasto mais do que recebeu. O questionamento ocorre no mesmo dia em que o ministro Flávio Dino, do Supremo, autorizou a Polícia Federal a acessar dados apreendidos pela Polícia Civil de São Paulo em uma operação que atingiu a Go Up.

Fortune reports that Flock holds an $8 billion valuation, with Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global among its backers. The company sells license plate recognition cameras and cloud software to police departments, neighborhoods, and businesses, and it has expanded into audio-based gunshot detection. Civil liberties groups, including the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, warn that mass vehicle data collection can enable tracking without sufficient oversight and can produce misidentifications. Flock states that it uses time-limited data retention, access controls, and audit logs, and that it does not sell personal data. City councils are adding oversight through transparency reports, impact assessments, and retention and sharing rules. Investors are betting on network effects and multi-year contracts, while regulatory and political risk could affect renewals and growth.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Reports indicate a proposal to drop the name of World War II hero Doris Miller—the first African American awarded the Navy Cross for his extraordinary bravery at Pearl Harbor—and instead name the under-construction aircraft carrier after Donald Trump. Civil rights leaders and military historians have sharply condemned the potential change, raising concerns over racial equity, veteran representation, and the historic preservation of Black history in public and military institutions.

The background matters. Judge Sweet's 2016 protective order let the attorneys themselves designate documents confidential, with no judicial review unless the other side objected. Dozens of filings went under seal on that basis and stayed there after the 2017 settlement. Maxwell was deposed twice in 2016, and prosecutors later charged her with perjury over that testimony. Preska's holding is that the Epstein Files Transparency Act controls. A federal statute can override grand jury secrecy under Rule 6(e). It does not violate separation of powers or due process. Maxwell raised seven objections and the court rejected the lot. What comes out is the material Giuffre's attorneys produced to the government under grand jury subpoena, subject to redaction obligations. The parties and the Miami Herald have until August 28th to propose next steps. Civil discovery is broader than criminal. There is likely a great deal here nobody has seen.

Where did “In God We Trust” really come from, and was it merely Cold War anti-communist propaganda?In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird trace the forgotten Civil War-era origins of the phrase on American currency.They discuss Baptist pastor Mark Watkinson, Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase, U.S. Mint Director James Pollock, Henry Boardman of Tenth Presbyterian Church, the original National Reform Association, and the push to recognize God and the Christian character of the nation in public life.This episode uncovers how “In God We Trust” was part of a broader pan-Protestant effort to call America to national repentance, acknowledge divine sovereignty, and confess dependence upon the God of the Bible.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere
The investigations into Jeffrey Epstein have repeatedly followed the same frustrating pattern: explosive revelations, promises of transparency, new subpoenas, newly unsealed records, and then another institutional dead end. Epstein's 2008 non-prosecution agreement shut down what could have become a much broader federal conspiracy case, while his 2019 arrest briefly reopened the possibility that prosecutors might finally examine the full network around him. His death ended the criminal case against him personally, and although Ghislaine Maxwell was later prosecuted and convicted, the government never turned that case into a sweeping investigation of the financiers, recruiters, facilitators, employees, professional advisers, and powerful associates who moved through Epstein's world. Civil litigation, congressional inquiries, investigative journalism, bank settlements, document releases, and survivor testimony have continued to expose pieces of the machinery around him, but those revelations have rarely translated into additional criminal accountability.Year after year, the Epstein story therefore seems to advance without ever truly arriving anywhere. Authorities obtain records but release only portions of them. Witnesses are identified but many are never publicly shown to have faced meaningful scrutiny. Financial institutions pay enormous settlements without admitting criminal wrongdoing, while questions surrounding Epstein's money, international relationships, recruitment system, travel network, and potential co-conspirators remain only partially answered. Even when new evidence emerges, the public is often given another narrow slice of the story rather than a comprehensive accounting of how Epstein operated for decades and who helped make that possible. The result has been an investigation that appears permanently trapped between disclosure and accountability: enough information comes out to demonstrate that Epstein did not operate in isolation, yet the larger machinery surrounding him continues to hit the same wall of secrecy, institutional caution, fragmented jurisdiction, and unanswered questions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
In this interview with Dr. James Renihan, we discuss Article 48 and 49 of the First London Baptist Confession of Faith.
Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers track three fronts in China's campaign against American immigration controls, and the officials in Washington who look away. Trump signed two executive orders on August 6, narrowing his birthright citizenship push to birth tourism and surrogacy. Five days later the same coalition from Barbara v. Trump went back to the same judge for a restraining order. Brett Kavanaugh already signaled a pathway for limiting 14th Amendment abuse, so the left should not assume a win at the Supreme Court. The Justice Department charged a network selling green cards through fake weddings. Chinese nationals paid facilitators up to $100,000. Facilitators paid American citizens up to $30,000 to stand at the altar. One prenuptial agreement instructed the bride never to speak to the groom again. Then there is Mexico. Former Mexican tourism official Simón Levy published a report on how Mexicans are manufactured in Mexico. Civil registry employees took $4,000 per migrant to forge birth certificates for Cuban, Haitian and Chinese nationals. Mexico deleted the database field recording when a passport was issued in 2021, so the forgeries are untraceable. A Mexican passport drops your US visa refusal rate by 49.5 points. A Chinese national in Beijing becomes a Mexican citizen, then walks into the United States under a new name. The declassified Swalwell file closes the loop. Eric Swalwell admitted a physical relationship with Chinese intelligence asset Fang Fang. She placed interns in his office and laundered money into his campaign. He joked to friends his girlfriend worked for the Chinese CIA. He stayed on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Nancy Pelosi kept him there. The FBI, which the committee oversees, kept trying to recruit Fang Fang and never moved on Swalwell.

Robert Nordlander spent over 20 years as a special agent with IRS Criminal Investigation — investigating complex criminal tax and money laundering violations, working undercover operations, executing search and arrest warrants, and building the cases that sent tax evaders and money launderers to federal prison — and in this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he finally tells the complete truth about what that career really looked like from the inside. He shares what cases the IRS Criminal Division actually goes after and prosecutes, what it actually takes to put someone in prison for taxes, the different types of money laundering he investigated, why small business owners evade taxes more than anyone else, how cases came to him and what the investigation process actually looked like, some of the most significant cases of his career, and what the new world of influencers and social media income is producing in terms of tax crime that most people never see coming. _____________________________________________ #irs #taxes #truecrimestories #accountant #cops _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ksjh06pb #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

August 16, 2026; 9am: ICE plans to spend up to $20 million dollars to purchase thousands of gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks intended to gain compliance from combative individuals. Civil rights advocates quickly sounded the alarm over the plan, saying ICE officers already face scrutiny over their use of excessive force with little oversight or accountability. But supporters of the gloves say they are generally only used in specific jail or transport situations to subdue violent suspects. Congressional Democrats plan to host a field hearing in Biddeford, Maine, tomorrow, on ICE's use of force after a deadly shooting, last month. Maine Democratic Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who represents the district where the shooting happened, joins “The Weekend” to discuss. She has been an outspoken critic of ICE's use of force and will host tomorrow's hearing.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Iranian regime is gearing up for a prolonged showdown with President Trump by keeping their economy functioning just enough to withstand a drawn-out U.S. military campaign. As Gen. Jack Keane says, they think they have the upper hand in the Strait of Hormuz and will become more violent as the midterm elections approach. Keane says using economic levers is good but must also play the military card. But is allowing the regime to stall for time the right play? Why not arm the Iranian people and take out Iran's infrastructure, starting with Kharg Island? This is also playing into the hands of the woke-reich neo-fascist isolationists. By calling for American withdrawal now, they give aid and comfort to the enemy. And letting Iran think they have control over the Strait sends the wrong message to countries like China. What will the U.S. if the Chinese block the South China Sea? Also, why are younger people so drawn to socialism? We've abandoned the great thinkers of the not-so-distant past who explained capitalism and individual freedom: Buckley, Friedman, Sowell. Online influencers are pushing a sort of conservatism-lite, where they call for government intervention and a nationalist, populist form of common-good conservatism. It's actually socialism lite, but younger people don't know that. This is like the old Russian psyop: convince the young to ignore, even condemn, older generations. The young are told they know more than older people, they don't understand what you're doing through. Unfortunately, right now it's working. These pseudo-conservative isolationists sound a lot like Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, even Mamdani. Unfortunately, in this day and age, people want to be heard more than they want to learn. Then, Democratic Socialist leader Frances Gill was pressed on the consequences of getting rid of police and prisons. What would happen to rapists, she was asked. Instead of answering the question, Gill said she didn't want to talk "hypotheticals." Well, if a woman is raped, that's not hypothetical: that's real life. What Gill can't say out loud is the real reason DSAs want to eliminate police and prisons: so they can impose their own security services, loyal to their regime. Civil liberties were suspended during COVID in the name of the common good. If DSAs continue to get elected, we know what to expect. Finally, the clown show that is New York: a judge has blocked Mamdani's pied-a'-terre tax after NYC homeowners sued. Here's a guy who's never run a hot dog stand who thinks taxing rich people who provide jobs is a good idea. President Trump ripped Mamdani and NY Governor Kathy Hochul, calling this "amateur hour" and dangerous "experiment" that will destroy what was once a great City and State. Trump pledged to have the federal government look for a way to avert this "disaster." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
The brilliant Wajahat Ali, author of Go Back to Where You Came From, and playwright of The Domestic Crusaders, had me on The LeftHook to share my new book A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women: 20 Steps to Find Your Purpose and Power in a World on Fire. Watch or listen to the full discussion on how to overcome the very real and urgent threat of fascism. (Side note: In France, Marine Le Pen is campaigning for president wearing an ankle monitor, following in the footsteps of her fellow Russian asset, the convicted felon/Epstein wing-man). Trump is doing to our country what he did to the East Wing of our White House. How do we rebuild from the wreckage? That's what A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women is about. It's for anyone tired of Steve Bannon trying to demoralize us and flood the zone with sh*t. It's about concrete steps to stay grounded and focused in a world of chaos, to align your deepest needs and dreams with a higher purpose, creating world domination for the collective good. My own journey begins with being raised on stories of the government trying to kill you, and blame you for the crime, helped by Western corruption to cover-up the torture and murder. I am of course speaking of my Ukrainian heritage and the Holodomor, Stalin's genocide famine in Ukraine. In all my years of studying my family's history and the two monsters, Hitler and Stalin, who drove that history, I look back on America's own, and see the authoritarianism that established this country. The white supremacy blood lust terrorizing Black Americans, Native Americans, mass discrimination and violence against immigrants, and the list goes on. Trump, Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, and too many others carry on that violent legacy. That's why they're aligned with the Kremlin, which sees Ukrainians as inferior. In Ukrainian culture, we're taught to fight for our very lives, our voice, our art, our culture, our language, because no one else will. They want to erase us, so we must do the opposite and shine, shine, shine. In Ukrainian culture, art is literally survival. The coded language of poetry preserves historical truth, our shared humanity, our courage and defiance. Life is incredibly stubborn. Creativity is how we fortify our resilience. A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women provides 20 concrete steps for women–who are the favorite target of fascists, because they fear the fight in us–and their allies–to dream big for themselves and the kind of world we want to live in. That is how we reset the culture, overcome their darkness with our light, and gather our people to create a better world. We are the alternative to their dystopian vision for our future, a future that belongs to us. To better get to new my new and most personal book, I put together this Q&A: Empowerment can be a privilege. Many nonwhite women, especially immigrants, are juggling several jobs just to survive. How does this book make space for different lived experiences A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women is based on my own lived experience of being raised in a Ukrainian immigrant family. My grandmothers both worked as maids to survive. So I take nothing for granted when it comes to the diversity of demands on women today. Throughout the book, I share wisdom and insights from women across history. There's also a recommended reading guide in the book, featuring an incredible list of women authors, like Mikki Kendall and trans activist Raquel Willis. I also share a troubling story about a Black mentor telling me to get a white man to join me for my pitch meetings and just sit there. I'm sad to say it did make a difference. Planting seeds of hope and change – whether that's through launching a dream project like a film, book, business, non-profit, or some other ambitious goal – can be a grind. Does this book highlight organizations on the frontlines doing that unglamorous work in the shadows, helping us build that collective power? Yes, absolutely! And I made sure that the blurbs (endorsements) featured at the front of the book included voices from grassroots groups, to promote their efforts to a wider audience. Julie Delaurier of Rise and Resist began as an organizer in ACT UP and helped organize Tesla Takedown and No Kings. She also organizes to track and resist ICE raids in NYC. She read the book and provided a heartfelt endorsement. So did civil rights leader Maya Wiley, President of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and Holley Atkinson of the grassroots group the Media and Democracy Project bringing legal challenges to the existence of Fox News. Isn't self-help ego-driven? A Reasonable Guide is all about collective action. Individual choices produce collective action. Think of A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women as Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way meets Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny. Self-knowledge isn't the end goal here; it's the foundation for knowing where you can make an impact. It cites women across movements and their advice on how to stay creative and build power in a time of mass destruction. But isn't this focus on the self just new age nonsense which is a slippery slope to fascism, given reports of new age online movements being breeding grounds for fascist cult recruitment? This book follows an ancient tradition of taking on an empire with the power of ideas. Ideas cannot be killed. And you cannot stop an idea whose time has come. Know thyself was popularized by the ancient Greeks, most famously by Socrates who was a champion of women for that time. The Greeks were conquered by the sadistic and corrupt Roman Empire. A couple hundred years later, the Greeks conquered them right back through the power of self-knowledge and ideas. Greek became the dominant language of the Roman Empire. Self-knowledge is not ego. The book walks you through steps to think creatively and conquer doubt in order to build meaningful collective action. I had to produce my film Mr. Jones myself because no one wanted it. Mr. Jones was a film to bring historical justice and truth to a massive genocide by the Kremlin, covered up for generations, including with the help of Western corruption. A former Ambassador to Ukraine called Mr. Jones Ukraine's Schindler's List. A screening was shut down in Moscow, and Memorial, Russia's once largest NGO that dared to screen it, was liquidated. There were death threats and harassment during the making of the film, but still the team and I fought on, holding on to the power of our creativity and voices. That is what A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women is about: remembering the power of your voice in a world that wants to silence you and kill you. It's also a damn good time. I hope you will consider checking it out and pre-ordering A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women, which helps build buzz in the industry and gets the word out. Thank you to everyone who has supported my work over the years. It means so much.
