Since October, the Guardian Essential poll has been following the rise in support for One Nation but this month's results might also ring alarm bells for Labor. This is because nearly half of Labor voters said they would be open to voting for One Nation at the next federal election. Political reporter and chief of staff Josh Butler and Essential Media executive director Peter Lewis discuss why One Nation's surge is more than just a ‘noisy' protest about the Coalition, and why Pauline Hanson's party is attracting voters across the political spectrum

Open Frontier Executive Director Erik Balsbaugh and board member Amanda Wick join Andy Pickering for a wide-ranging conversation on crypto, politics, and the future of digital finance. The discussion explores why digital assets are too important to be left to partisan trench warfare, and why the real promise of crypto has less to do with speculation and more to do with reducing fees, expanding access, and breaking the grip of extractive financial intermediaries. Erik and Amanda make the case that this is ultimately a fight about fairness, affordability, and who the financial system is built to serve. Why you should listen Erik lays out the mission behind Open Frontier: to ensure progressive and broader public-interest voices stay engaged in shaping digital asset policy before the space is captured by incumbents and centralized financial power. He argues that crypto and fintech can help restore finance to everyday people by lowering remittance costs, reducing predatory fees, and enabling more transparent, accountable financial flows. Rather than letting digital assets become just another tool for concentrated institutions, Open Frontier wants to push for a democratic financial future—one where the benefits of innovation reach workers, immigrants, nonprofits, and small businesses, not just insiders and early winners. Amanda brings hard-earned perspective from the Department of Justice, FinCEN, Chainalysis, and Capitol Hill, and offers one of the episode's sharpest reframes: crypto doesn't uniquely create crime—it makes financial activity more visible. She argues that much of the outrage around crypto crime reflects a visibility problem, not a new crime problem, noting that scams, laundering, and illicit finance long predate blockchain. What changed is that crypto put more of it in plain sight. She also takes aim at the media and political tendency to reduce the entire sector to meme coins and scandals, while ignoring the less flashy but genuinely transformative use cases: stablecoins, cheaper cross-border payments, tokenization, digital identity, and financial infrastructure that can return value to consumers instead of extracting it. The conversation closes on the geopolitical and ethical stakes of the current moment. Amanda warns that stablecoins are becoming a major global channel for dollar access, and that U.S. policymakers risk undermining dollar influence if they fail to regulate intelligently and stay competitive while other jurisdictions move faster. At the same time, both guests address the reputational damage caused by political grift and conflicts of interest in crypto, stressing that corruption should be treated as a governance and ethics problem—not as evidence that the underlying technology should be discarded. Amanda ends with a broader call that goes beyond left versus right: in a world increasingly split between the haves and the have-nots, digital assets may be one of the few tools capable of shifting structural power in finance—if people pay attention before the opportunity is lost.

In this forward-looking episode of Develop This!, Dennis sits down with acclaimed speaker, author, and CEO Mark C. Perna to unpack one of the most important shifts facing economic and community development professionals today: the rise of the entrepreneurial generation. With 84% of Gen Z expressing interest in entrepreneurship, communities must rethink how they build talent pipelines, support startups, and cultivate opportunity. Mark shares insights from his 27+ years of building impactful businesses and explains why today's youth view risk, safety, and control differently than previous generations. For them, entrepreneurship isn't rebellion—it's stability. It's ownership. It's purpose. Drawing from his bestselling book Answering Why and his work through TFS Results, Mark explores how communities can better align education, workforce development, and economic strategy to support this shift. This episode is packed with practical takeaways for economic developers, chamber leaders, workforce boards, and higher education partners looking to future-proof their ecosystems. Key Insights for Economic Developers The Generational Shift 84% of Gen Z are interested in entrepreneurship. Young people see traditional employment as riskier than ownership. Control, flexibility, and purpose are powerful motivators. Lower Barriers, Bigger Opportunities Physical storefronts are no longer required to launch a business. Social media, freelance platforms, and digital tools have democratized entrepreneurship. Communities must pivot from recruitment-only strategies to startup cultivation. Managing Risk & Building Resilience Risk management—not risk avoidance—is the true entrepreneurial skill. Failure is data. Reflection drives growth. Adaptability is the competitive advantage of modern founders. Leadership in the New Economy Integrity and vision are non-negotiable. Decisiveness builds confidence in teams. Shared vision is critical when managing remote and distributed teams. Avoiding Mission Creep Clarity of purpose prevents dilution. A strong "North Star" helps organizations streamline offerings and maximize impact. Focus drives scalability. Why This Matters for Community & Economic Development Entrepreneurship is no longer a niche strategy—it's a central economic development driver. Mark discusses his Education with Purpose & Employment with Passion movement and his involvement with the International Economic Development Council, emphasizing the need for tighter alignment between: K–12 education Higher education Workforce development Employers Economic development organizations Communities that connect these dots will win the future talent war. Practical Takeaways Start small—but start. Define your North Star. Build ecosystems, not just incentives. Teach risk literacy. Focus on value creation over scale. Use failure as a confidence-building tool. About Mark Mark C. Perna is an internationally recognized speaker, author, and CEO who has examined education and careers through a generational lens since 2019. He is the founder of TFS Results and creator of the Education with Purpose & Employment with Passion movement. A graduate of John Carroll University, Mark serves on the Advisory Council for the Coalition for Career Development and is a member of the International Economic Development Council.

John Hinderaker, founder of Power Line and President of the Center of the American Experiment, joins the show by phone to dive into the current state of politics, the recent Supreme Court ruling invalidating the Trump Administration’s tariff policy, the Democrats' strategy for the midterms and the role of abortion in the conversation, and the tumultuous events in Minnesota so far this year. John shares his insights on the fragility of the voter coalition President Trump won his second term victory with, and the potential for the Democrats to whip up a frenzy of hatred against the Republicans. They also touch on the state of education, including the push for radical ethnic studies in public schools.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 It was hailed as the "Mega-Alliance" that would reshape Nigeria's political future. The African Democratic Congress, ADC, became the unlikely home for former rivals, bringing together the heavyweights of the opposition. But today, the cracks in the foundation are becoming impossible to ignore. Whispers of a fallout between the Atiku Abubakar camp and the Peter Obi movement are growing louder. With ego, ambition, and the 2027 presidential ticket at stake, is this coalition headed for a divorce before the honeymoon even ends?Today on Nigeria Daily, we go inside the ADC to examine the internal friction, the rumors of Peter Obi's exit, and what this misalignment means for the opposition's chances in the next election.

Your story is not just your story. It's part of a larger narrative about whose voices are heard and whose are erased.I'm thrilled to have Janice Gassam Asare back on the podcast. She's an organizational psychologist, equity consultant, and author of the new book Rise and Resist - and this conversation went places I didn't expect.What struck me most is how Janice reframes resistance. Not as something dramatic or career-ending, but as the small, daily choices we make: amplifying someone else's idea in a meeting, speaking up when it's uncomfortable, refusing to let an important story quietly disappear. Those aren't small acts. They're how culture actually changes.We also get into what it takes to develop your voice when you've spent years being rewarded for staying in your lane. If that hits close to home, this episode is for you.Janice and I talk about:Why storytelling is preservation and power, not just communicationHow personal stories build connection that expertise alone never canThe everyday acts of resistance that shape workplaces and culture more than we realizeHow to find your voice when you were taught not to rock the boatWhat to do when you speak up and face criticism or pushback for itAbout My Guest: Janice Z.

Deep Dive: Australians are about to see a major shift in how they access pornography online, with new age-verification rules set to require users to prove they’re over 18. For Jason Blyth, the issue is deeply personal. He was first exposed to porn at just 10 years old, and what began as something secretive and normalised spiralled into addiction - one that ultimately led him to rehab at 30. In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith speaks with Jason about breaking a porn addiction, why many young people don’t recognise the warning signs, and whether Australia’s new age-verification laws can meaningfully curb harm.

Church to demand the right to vote. They walked six blocks to Broad Street and across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where they were met by more than 50 state troopers and a few dozen possemen on horseback. When the demonstrators refused to turn back, they were brutally beaten. At least 17 were hospitalized,FYI: Activist Jimmie Lee Jackson murder on February 26th 1965 sparked the March across the Edmund Pettis Bridge.There were THREE Marches across The Bridge BECAUSE the First on March on March 7, 1965, resulted in Violence against the Marchers; The Second March on Tuesday, March 9, 1965.

He is married to Faya Ora Rose Touré, formerly Rose M. Sanders, and they have three children by birth, four by foster relationship, and many by heart.In 1971, Sanders began what became Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, Pettaway and Campbell, LLC.

There's a movement in Massachusetts to introduce a new type of election: "all-party primaries". The idea is simple: let everyone run in the primary elections together for any given race, regardless of party, and the best candidates will come out on top. This potential ballot measure is being pushed by the "Coalition for Healthy Democracy", which says such elections will make elections more competitive and transparent. Harvard University professor and former gubernatorial candidate Danielle Allen discusses their efforts with Nichole on this week's show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

À l'issue de son 39e sommet, l'Union africaine a révélé sa nouvelle stratégie vis-à-vis des pays de l'Alliance des États du Sahel : tout en rappelant l'impératif du retour à l'ordre constitutionnel, priorité est clairement donnée au soutien à la lutte antiterroriste au Mali, Niger et Burkina Faso. Cette stratégie de l'Union africaine est-elle la bonne ? L'ancien ministre malien Housseini Amion Guindo, farouche opposant des militaires au pouvoir à Bamako, président du parti Codem et du mouvement Jigiya Kura, désormais dissous (comme toutes les organisations politiques du Mali) est le Grand invité Afrique de David Baché. RFI : L'Union africaine prône toujours le retour à l'ordre constitutionnel au Mali, au Niger et au Burkina, mais donne clairement la priorité, désormais, au soutien à la lutte antiterroriste de ces trois États. On ne sait pas encore comment. Est-ce que c'est une bonne stratégie ? Housseini Amion Guindo : L'Union africaine fait une très mauvaise appréciation des problèmes du Mali. Réduire, aujourd'hui, le problème du Mali à la lutte contre le terrorisme, c'est se tromper. Au Mali, nous avons un problème de dialogue national, nous avons un problème de rébellion séparatiste, des tensions intercommunautaires, des partis politiques qui sont dissous... Donc, le problème du Mali, il est global. Il ne peut pas être circonscrit à un problème de lutte contre le terrorisme. Je pense que ce discours de l'Union africaine contredit les principes mêmes de l'Union africaine : des principes de légitimité, d'ordre constitutionnel, de droits humains. C'est sur cette base que l'Union africaine a été constituée. Mais l'Union africaine n'est pas constituée pour lutter contre le terrorisme, pour soutenir des régimes qui essaient de vivre de ce terrorisme. Donc ce que vous dites, c'est que ces régimes qui, dans leur discours officiel, se maintiennent au pouvoir justement pour lutter contre les groupes terroristes, cette approche de l'Union africaine, ça les conforte d'une certaine manière ? Bien entendu. C'est pourquoi j'ai dit que l'Union africaine, par cette déclaration, trahit ses principes et apporte un soutien étrange. Il est important pour l'Union africaine de chercher d'abord à comprendre le problème malien en particulier, et celui du Sahel en général. Ce n'est pas seulement le terrorisme, il y a des questions de légitimité. Mais la réalité du terrain est visible. En dépit du discours officiel des régimes en place, la progression territoriale, le renforcement des groupes jihadistes sont indéniables et cela représente une menace aussi pour les pays voisins de l'AES, pour toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest. L'Union africaine doit bien le prendre en considération, non ? Mais bien entendu. C'est vrai qu'aujourd'hui, la situation s'est dégradée par les choix opérés par ceux qui ont fait le coup d'État au Mali. Mais il est évident que les problèmes du Mali se gèreront d'abord dans le cadre d'une entente entre Maliens, ensuite dans le cadre d'une entente entre le Mali et ses voisins. Je ne pense pas que la déclaration de l'Union africaine conforte même celle de la Cédéao. Cela dit, on a vu ce qu'a donné l'approche plus ferme de la Cédéao : une rupture totale avec les pays de l'AES. Est-ce que l'Union africaine n'a pas raison de chercher à maintenir des rapports avec le Mali, le Niger et le Burkina, pour ne pas abandonner les populations ? Effectivement, nous, nous sommes de l'Union africaine et le Mali est l'un des rares pays à écrire dans sa Constitution qu'il est prêt même à abandonner sa souveraineté pour réaliser l'unité africaine. Maintenant, de quel Mali s'agit-il ? Le Mali, c'est à travers ses représentants dûment mandatés par le peuple du Mali et non un Mali qui aujourd'hui est carrément hors Constitution, avec un coup d'Etat qui impose une dictature stérile pendant près de six ans au peuple malien. Alors qu'est-ce que vous attendez de l'Union africaine ? C'est vraiment d'aider le Mali à d'abord s'organiser pour désigner ses représentants. Permettre aux Maliens d'avoir une transition civile et un retour à l'ordre constitutionnel. C'est sur la base de ces principes que l'Union africaine a été créée, et non pour organiser des armées pour aller combattre le terrorisme. Vous êtes membre de la Coalition des forces pour la République, opposée au régime militaire en place au Mali. L'imam Dicko, figure de proue de la CFR, a renouvelé sur notre antenne, la semaine dernière, depuis Nouakchott, son appel à « dialoguer avant qu'il ne soit trop tard ». Concrètement, l'imam, vous, la CFR, vous proposez quoi à présent ? L'imam a été très sage. Il a dit en des termes très courts que la situation est intenable et que l'effondrement est plus que jamais d'actualité. 70 % à 80 % de nos campagnes payent la zakat et obéissent à l'ordre jihadiste, au Jnim ou autres jihadistes, l'EIGS. Il ne reste que les grandes villes qui, aujourd'hui, pratiquement toutes sont sous blocus. Donc est-ce que la logique, le tout militaire qui a été adopté par le CNSP actuellement au pouvoir… Les autorités militaires de transition en place au Mali... …et que l'Union africaine aujourd'hui se propose de soutenir. Est-ce que ce tout militaire a donné la solution ? Il faut que les autorités actuelles permettent un dialogue qui mettra en place une transition civile et retournent dans les casernes. Et c'est ça le rôle de l'Union africaine : de soutenir une dynamique interne.

A group of mayors in Minnesota are asking the legislature for economic relief from the impacts of the surge of federal immigration agents to the state. The Cities for Safe and Stable Communities Coalition now includes more than 20 communities, mainly suburbs in the Twin Cities metro area.Hopkins Mayor Patrick Hanlon said getting aid to city governments is the group's number one ask to state lawmakers.“We won't be asking for handouts,” said Hanlon, “We are asking for fairness, for justice and resources to fix a crisis we didn't create in order.”Brooklyn Center Mayor April Graves was part of the creation of this group of mayors and she spoke to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk more about their priorities.

America is electrifying at a pace we've never seen before – driven by AI data centers, smart grids, and modern infrastructure. But all of it depends on one critical workforce: electricians. The problem? The U.S. faces roughly 80,000 electrical job openings every year – and the gap is growing. In this Optimistic Outlook In Five, Lauren Espin breaks down why the electrician shortage has become a national challenge, and how a new coalition of industry, education, government, and nonprofit partners is coming together through the Siemens Foundation's Careers Electric initiative to help close the gap. You'll hear how this first-of-its-kind effort is creating clear, accessible pathways into high-paying electrical careers that don't require a four-year degree—and why the model launching in North Carolina could become a blueprint for other states.
