It would alter the relationship between citizens and the state—with consequences that the right would be likely to lament.

Get access to The Backroom ( 100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio like this) on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeBONUS EPISODE: This conversation with Christian Parenti was originally released as a Patreon-exclusive episode of The Backroom, recorded well over a year ago. In light of recent disclosures and renewed scrutiny surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci, the origins of COVID-19, and U.S.-funded coronavirus research, many of the questions raised in this discussion have become newly relevant, which is why I think it is worth releasing publicly now.In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Christian Parenti, professor of economics at John Jay College, contributor to Compact, author of books including Radical Hamilton, Tropic of Chaos, and Lockdown America, and son of the late Michael Parenti. Parenti argues that much of the left abandoned its traditional skepticism of state and corporate power during COVID, embracing lockdowns, censorship, vaccine mandates, and what he describes as “scientism.” We discuss school closures and class, the Canadian trucker convoy, Big Pharma and Big Tech, vaccine mandates and civil liberties, biodefense and gain-of-function research, the professional-managerial left, and why Parenti came out of the pandemic identifying as both a classical Marxist and a classical liberal.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 Cold Open: How the Left Got COVID Wrong2:21 1Dime Radio Intro3:19 Why the Left Embraced Lockdowns10:13 Fauci, the Lab-Leak Debate & COVID Incentives15:25 “Weaponized Solidarity,” School Closures & Mandates25:16 The Trucker Convoy, Censorship & the Populist Right32:46 Biodefense, Gain-of-Function & Vaccine History39:21 The PMC Left & the Politics of Respectability44:49 Vaccines, Myocarditis & COVID Risk53:52 Civil Liberties, Vaccine Passports & the Left's Authoritarian Turn57:37 Classical Marxism Meets Classical LiberalismGUEST:Christian ParentiProfessor of Economics at John Jay College, author of Radical Hamilton, Tropic of Chaos, and Lockdown America, and contributor to Compact.Compact:https://www.compactmag.com/contributor/christian-parenti/John Jay College:https://www.jjay.cuny.edu/faculty/christian-parenti“How the Organized Left Got COVID Wrong, Learned to Love Lockdowns and Lost Its Mind: An Autopsy”:https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/31/left-covid-lockdowns-mind-autopsy/FOLLOW 1Dime:1Dime Radio YouTube:https://youtube.com/@1dimeradioSubstack:https://1dimereview.substack.com/X/Twitter:https://x.com/1DimeOfficialInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/Main 1Dime YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, comment, and subscribe.

Ralph welcomes sportswriter Dave Zirin to talk about his new book, "The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn." Then Ralph speaks to labor activist Gene Bruskin about their upcoming Labor Day event at Busboys and Poets in DC, "Galvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact."

Can an artificial intelligence from the future kill someone in the present? In this science fiction podcast episode, a shy young inventor must disappear from every network before a chain of impossible accidents reaches her again.Rina is developing an AI designed to protect people from weaponized artificial intelligence when a failing lift nearly drops her thirty stories. Soon afterward, another unlikely structural failure strikes precisely where she is sitting. Her friends uncover a disturbing pattern: each accident occurs during a rare surge in quantum coherence, raising the possibility that an advanced intelligence is manipulating cause and effect backward through time.You will explore reverse causation, adaptive augmented reality, personality cloning, autonomous rescue robots, and a world where constant digital recording may give an unseen attacker everything it needs. The emotional peak comes when Rina realizes that survival may require surrendering the technology connecting her to everyone she knows.She and Lee enter an abandoned cross-property tunnel without communication links, digital assistants, or any way to call home. Then a relentless flash flood fills the passage, leaving their friends to guide a submersible search drone through dark rooms, submerged machinery, trapped air pockets, and debris.Subscribe on your preferred podcast app to follow the search and discover what waits deeper inside the flooded tunnel.TechProtective artificial intelligence — Rina is building an AI detective whose sole purpose is to identify, investigate, and stop dangerous or weaponized artificial intelligences.Group-call communication — Workers communicate through a shared audio channel even when they are in different parts of the underground complex.Augmented-reality social effects — AR elements add visible colors, symbols, schedules, maps, avatars, messages, and communication windows to a user's surroundings.Assist — Assist is a personal digital assistant that handles navigation, messages, calls, instructions, and emergency commands.Cool suits — Lightweight protective suits regulate the wearer's temperature while working in hot, dusty, or hazardous environments.Cool hoods — Clear protective hoods attach to cool suits while allowing the wearer to see and breathe in contaminated work areas.Platform lift — A compact suspended elevator carries people through a thirty-story shaft using four cables, a grated floor, safety bars, and a control box.Safety harness and lanyard system — Workers wear full-body harnesses with clip-on lanyards that can secure them to cables or structures during dangerous work.Medical treatment bots — Robotic medical systems scan injuries, administer injections, stabilize patients, and perform automated repairs.Gurney bots — Walking robotic stretchers lower themselves to the floor, lift injured people, and transport them to medical facilities.Medical stasis — Stasis keeps severely injured patients unconscious and physically stable while robotic systems repair their bodies.AR Two glasses — Second-generation augmented-reality glasses pre-filter sensory information and feed the wearer's eyes data tailored to how their brain processes the world.Machine-learning sensory adaptation — AR Two studies each wearer's cognitive strengths while the wearer's brain gradually adapts to interpret the system's unusual sensory input.Artificial new senses — Extended use of AR Two can produce abilities such as sensing structural stress, emotions, depth, hidden objects, material composition, temperature, density, and hardness.Sound vision — AR Two can turn reflected sound into a distinct visual-like sense that allows users to perceive rooms, objects, and movement through sound.Radio vision — Radio-based sensing allows users and robots to perceive spaces and objects when ordinary light cannot provide a useful image.Backward-facing cameras — Rear-mounted cameras give AR Two information about events and objects outside the wearer's normal field of view.Mass spectrometers — Compact chemical sensors identify substances and provide AR Two users or robots with information about what materials contain.LiDAR — Laser-ranging sensors construct precise three-dimensional models of rooms, tunnels, structures, and objects.WiDar — Wireless-signal sensing maps spaces and movement by analyzing how radio waves interact with the environment.Sound-mapping microphones — Microphone arrays determine the positions, shapes, and movement of objects by analyzing sound.Thermographic cameras — Thermal sensors detect temperature differences and help identify people, bodies, machinery, and environmental hazards.Sensor-array bone mounts — Small sensor connection points implanted around the skull and neck improve the wearer's connection to advanced AR equipment.Hoverboards — Personal boards carry riders rapidly through the complex's halls without touching the floor.Superconductive floors — Special flooring supports and guides hover transportation throughout the underground settlement.Fab-All machine — The Fab-All is a massive, multistory fabrication system containing many molecule assemblers capable of manufacturing a wide variety of objects.Molecule assemblers — These machines construct materials and products at a molecular level inside the Fab-All.Constructor bots — Autonomous construction robots clear debris, install equipment, alter buildings, and assemble large machines.Extendable construction legs — Some constructor bots raise or lengthen their bodies to work inside ceilings and other elevated spaces.Micro-controller goggles — Grace's modified goggles replace ordinary lenses with small electronic housings and external antennas for specialized sensing and computation.Quad-bit sensors — These experimental sensors detect changes in quantum coherence and record unusual relationships between particles.Double-slit sensors — These devices monitor whether light retains wave-like behavior instead of settling into normal interference patterns.Macroscale quantum-coherence monitoring — Grace's sensor network detects rare moments when quantum effects persist across large objects and environments.Link network — Link is the always-connected communication system people use for calls, messages, navigation, recording, and access to Assist.Canal links — Communication implants placed in the ear canal keep users continuously connected to the Link network.Link-pens — Small pen-shaped devices photograph objects, record information, and interact with the Link system.Personality cloning — People continually record their behavior and thoughts so a computer-generated copy of their personality can be created.Personality baking — Baking is the gradual process of collecting enough personal data for a personality clone to behave convincingly like its source.World Center communication system —

conventional makeup.Ogra — Ogra is a biologically produced material invented by Rina and used for clothing, decorations, structural items, and other manufactured goods.Ogra farms — These facilities cultivate the biological material used to produce Ogra goods.Personality-clone recording systems — Cameras and networked sensors continuously collect personal data that can later be used to reconstruct someone's behavior.Reverse-causation targeting technology — Theoretical future AI could calculate a chain of quantum events that travels backward through cause and effect to harm someone in the past.Macroscale-superposition recording — Grace's instruments capture extremely brief moments when large objects occupy quantum superpositions.Inviro-suits — Heavy-duty environmental suits protect travelers entering flooded, contaminated, or otherwise dangerous tunnels.Handheld radios — Older self-contained radios are considered as a way to communicate without using the Link network, although their signals could still be recorded.Haul bots — Four-legged robotic carriers transport packs, tools, shelter equipment, and other heavy supplies through tunnels.Automated cremation machine — A portable crem machine is carried with expedition equipment for processing bodies when necessary.Pipe-swimmer drone — This autonomous underwater search robot moves through flooded tunnels, checks air pockets, searches rooms, scans debris, and looks for missing people.Body-detection chemical sensors — The search drone analyzes chemicals released by bodies to determine whether a person is present and how long they have been dead.Vibration sensors — The drone presses these devices against closed doors to detect spaces, movement, or structures on the other side.Echo vision — Sound reflections create a shadow-like model of rooms and stairwells hidden behind doors or walls.Snaking inspection probes — Flexible robotic probes crawl through hatches and narrow utility spaces while scanning pipes, crawlspaces, and trapped air pockets.Anchoring robotic arms — The underwater drone grips pipes and walls so it can hold position while opening hatches or operating tools.BritLights — Submersible lights continue to flicker underwater and temporarily illuminate flooded spaces with a pale green glow.Bipedal robots — Human-shaped robots perform work inside buildings, although damaged examples remain trapped in the flooded area.Shipping bots — Autonomous cargo robots move supplies along rail systems and through underground corridors.Rail-mounted collection bins — Workers load debris into bins that travel along fixed rails between work areas.Environmental status panels — Control rooms use rows of displays to present live operational, sensor, and emergency information.Immersive drone-feed AR — AR Two converts a robot's live sensor feed into a three-dimensional experience that lets an operator feel present inside the searched environment.Autonomous victim-recognition system — The pipe-swimmer identifies suits, bodies, and survival signs, then decides whether an immediate rescue attempt is possible.Many of the characters in this project appear in

Bruno Guimarães responded to the boos with a game changing performance filled with courage in possession, leadership, street smarts and a goal to announce himself as a star at Arsenal. This is the personality Newcastle fans loved; a huge statement when the team needed it most.From countdowns on every one of our throws whilst Sunderland made an event of every one of theirs, to the continuous fouls overlooked, justice was served in the end. This is a monumental win straight after Napoli away, and another example of why #Arsenal are champions.

During World War II, America learned a hard lesson about the strategic importance of the small island nations scattered across the Pacific.Among them is Palau, a nation of 18,000 people in what's known as the second island chain. It's home to the bloodiest battlefield of the Pacific theater, on the island of Peleliu.Today, as the Chinese regime prepares for a possible invasion of Taiwan, Palau finds itself on the front lines again. It's one of only 12 countries that diplomatically recognize Taiwan, and one of only three with a Compact of Free Association with the United States—an agreement that gives the U.S. exclusive military access to Palauan waters in exchange for providing defense, postal service, economic assistance, and other benefits to Palauans.Palau's strategic position has made it a target. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has ramped up gray-zone tactics and information warfare across the region to pull small Pacific nations away from Taiwan and the United States.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Palau's President Surangel Whipps Jr. Half-American and half-Palauan and born in Baltimore, Whipps decided to give up his American citizenship to serve as president of his father's homeland and chart a new course for its development.In this episode, Whipps explains how Palau is defending its sovereignty against foreign encroachment and shares his vision for the country's future.We cover how the CCP has threatened Palau, how the Compact of Free Association shapes U.S. regional defense strategy, why the U.S. military is building radar sites on the island, and how Western private sector investment can help secure a free Indo-Pacific.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Episode 101 of the Foojay Podcast.JDK 27 arrives on 15 September 2026 without finalising a single new piece of language syntax. It is still worth the upgrade: object headers shrink from 64 bits to 32, which the JEP measures at 22% less heap and 8% less CPU on SPECjbb2015, and G1 becomes the default garbage collector on every machine. Both changes live inside the JVM, so an application you compiled years ago picks them up with no code change at all.Simon Ritter, Deputy CTO at Azul and Java Champion, takes us through all nine JEPs in the release, explains why a non-LTS version is still worth testing against, and makes the point that "long-term support" describes the binary you download rather than anything in OpenJDK itself. We also cover the move from quarterly to monthly security updates that started in August 2026, and then look ahead to March 2027, when Project Valhalla reaches its first preview after roughly twelve years of work.Topics include:Compact object headers by default, and what 22% less heap actually buys you in productionPost-quantum key exchange in TLS 1.3, and the harvest-now-decrypt-later attack it defends againstJFR redaction: keeping access tokens and passwords out of flight recordings you shareStructured concurrency in its seventh preview, and why an evolving API stays in previewThe Vector API's twelfth incubation, and what it is waiting forValue Objects in Java 28: a new value keyword, 179,000 lines, 1,800 files, and why it will not be final in JDK 29Whether a Simple JSON API in the JDK will survive its previews, or go the way of string templatesGuest: Simon RitterDeputy CTO at Azul, Java ChampionSimon on LinkedInSimon on FoojayLinks:Full show notes, with every JEP linkedJDK 27What CSPUs Mean for Your Release PipelineWhat to Know About Garbage Collection as a Java Developer!Project ValhallaTimestamps:00:00 Introduction of the topic and guest01:27 How long Simon has been doing Java01:54 Why release 27 is important, even when not being a Long Term Support release04:55 Quarterly and monthly security updates between new version releases08:07 Which JVM versions are most used in companies09:23 JEP 534: Compact Object Headers by Default14:51 JEP 523: Make G1 the Default Garbage Collector in All Environments18:59 JEP 527: Post-Quantum Hybrid Key Exchange for TLS 1.322:55 JEP 538: PEM Encodings of Cryptographic Objects (Third Preview)25:35 JEP 536: JFR In-Process Data Redaction28:02 JEP 531: Lazy Constants (Third Preview)29:55 JEP 532: Primitive Types in Patterns, instanceof, and switch (Fifth Preview)33:13 JEP 533: Structured Concurrency (Seventh Preview)38:21 JEP 537: Vector API (Twelfth Incubator)40:28 Looking forward to Java 28 and Project Valhalla42:31 JEP 401: Value Objects and JEP 539: Strict Field Initialization47:36 Can we expect this to be finalized in Java 29?48:26 LTS releases every 1, 2, or 3 years?49:55 JEP 541: Deprecate macOS/x6451:53 JEP 540: Simple JSON API (Incubator)55:30 Conclusion, what to remember from this release

What are the BEST bass fishing lures to throw in September? In this episode of Fishing the DMV, we break down the top September bass fishing baits, techniques, and patterns for catching largemouth and smallmouth bass during one of the toughest transition periods of the year.We're LIVE from Jake's Bait & Tackle talking about how to catch bass as summer begins turning into fall across Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and the Mid-Atlantic.September bass fishing can be frustrating. Water temperatures begin dropping, baitfish start moving, bass can become extremely focused on shad, minnows and blueback herring, and patterns that worked all summer can suddenly stop producing.That's why this episode is all about MATCHING THE HATCH and adjusting to the fall transition.We cover some of our favorite September bass fishing lures and techniques, including:• Keitech swimbaits and underspins for schooling bass • 5-inch and 7-inch flukes for blueback herring and shad eaters • Spy baits for long-distance schooling fish • Buzzbaits for shallow fall bass around docks, grass and cover • Frog trailers and downsized buzzbait presentations • Double drop shot rigs for tough September bass • Micro poppers and Torpedo-style topwaters for river smallmouth • Hellgrammite and creature baits for clear-water smallmouth • Weightless swimbaits and flukes over grass and vegetation • BFS finesse presentations for pressured bass • Megabass Karashi-style finesse topwater/jerkbait presentations • Shallow-running crankbaits in the 1–3 foot zone • Megabass Blow-Lee, 6th Sense Curve and other shallow cranks • Compact 1/2-ounce jigs with heavy-duty hooks • ChatterBaits, JackHammers, EVO, EVO HD, Stealth and WillowVibe • ChatterBait trailers including X Zone Swimmer-style and stinger baits • Big swimbaits and glide baits for late September into OctoberWe also talk specifically about the September fishing transition on Lake Anna, where bass can become extremely dialed in on schools of shad, minnows and blueback herring. When those fish are chasing bait, traditional presentations may get ignored while fast-moving minnow imitators produce.For Lake Anna bass fishing, speed can be critical. Burning a fluke, swimbait, spy bait or other baitfish imitation through schooling fish can trigger reaction strikes that slower presentations won't.River anglers aren't forgotten either.For the Shenandoah River, Upper Potomac River and other Mid-Atlantic smallmouth fisheries, we break down why tiny topwaters, micro poppers, hellgrammite-style baits and finesse presentations can be deadly when the water gets low, clear and heavily pressured.We also discuss fishing grass and vegetation on fisheries like the Potomac River and Upper Chesapeake Bay, including one of our favorite alternatives to throwing another frog: fishing a weightless swimbait or fluke across the vegetation and allowing it to fall into openings in the mat.And as September progresses toward October, BIG BAITS start entering the conversation.Glide baits, segmented hard swimbaits and larger soft swimbaits may produce fewer bites—but they can produce some of the biggest bass of the fall.If you're trying to figure out what bass are doing in September, this episode is packed with practical information you can use on the water immediately.Whether you're fishing Lake Anna, the Shenandoah River, Upper Potomac, Potomac River, Rappahannock River, Chesapeake Bay, Susquehanna or another Mid-Atlantic fishery, these September bass fishing techniques can help you adjust as the fish transition from summer into fall.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast Green Top: https://www.greentop.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168 Flint Financial Planning: https://www.flintfinancialplanning.com/  FITT Lures: https://bit.ly/4w5lgHt Max4 Fishing: https://max4fishing.com/Support the show

Ralph welcomes sportswriter Dave Zirin to talk about his new book, "The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn." Then Ralph speaks to labor activist Gene Bruskin about their upcoming Labor Day event at Busboys and Poets in DC, "Galvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact."Dave Zirin is the sports editor for The Nation, a columnist for the Progressive, and the author of eight books on the politics of sports, including What's My Name, Fool?: Sports and Resistance in the United States and A People's History of Sports in the United States. His new book is The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn.There's a despondency that exists now, I believe, among people who are also very angry about the state of our politics. And the thing that Howard always insisted upon—he was an activist who happened to be a historian, not a historian who was an activist. And that doesn't denigrate his incredible skills as a historian, it just says where his priorities were in his time on this planet. And one of the things that Howard believed so strongly is that the movements themselves needed to have a strong sense of history. The movements needed to know that we live in a time of great ups and downs.Dave ZirinPeople did step up to create the Zinn Education Project. And every book event I'm doing, I'm showing up with copies of their materials and they usually have somebody on the ground doing the organizing at the event. And at the very least, we're helping it be a little bit sticky. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not just a book event. It's not just celebrating Howard. But it's also something that allows us to be able to make it matter in a way that it otherwise would not—because it's not just about selling books, it really is about building a movement.Dave ZirinGene Bruskin is a veteran of the labor movement as a local union president, an organizer, and campaign coordinator for numerous local and national unions. He has done extensive international labor solidarity work, including with Iraqi workers and unions, and is a founder of US Labor Against the War.What we're breaking through here now (and partly this has been the definition of this resistance movement) it's workers versus billionaires. And I think the labor movement in general coming out of World War II has been captured by this mythology that “What's good for General Electric is good for the nation.” And the more the economy “prospers,” the more it's good for everybody. And it turns out that that's not really the case, because we don't have that kind of equality. And also what's in the national interest in terms of our foreign policy is not in the interest of the average working class person. A lot of that stuff is being challenged and reversed—not enough, but it's forcing some of the more moderate forces to the left, just as we're seeing in some of these Senate and House elections.Gene BruskinI think this is a really important moment for Labor Day because Labor Day, among other things, is generally the kickoff for whatever elections are happening in November. And it's going to be that on steroids this year. But I think the important thing is that, of course, we want to throw out a bunch of these Neanderthal Republicans in the House and Senate. But it's not just a matter of restoring a Democratic majority in the House and Senate. The question is: to what end? And what is on the agenda of a Democratic-majority Congress at this minute? What is the vision that we have for our future that we have to be fighting for? … We have to change this whole climate so that people have some kind of hope, some kind of vision for what we want and what we deserve. And the same old, same old, whether it's a Democratic Congress or not, is not acceptable anymore.Gene BruskinGalvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact (Sep 7, 2026 2:00 pm ET): Busboys and Poets and Ralph Nader present Galvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact, a discussion of how unions can maximize the impact of Labor Day to mobilize workers and voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and afterwards.

According to the BBC, the new deal “grants a US-led company 100-year concessions over 17 oilfields in Venezuela, amounting to a staggering 65 billion barrels of crude,” or over one-fifth of the country's proven oil reserves. The White House has released a fact sheet, stating that much of the new extraction will be conducted by North American Blue Energy Partners (Nabep), and that the U.S. government will have “veto power over the appointment of any member of the board of directors, and a majority of Nabep's board of directors must be US citizens.” The announcement of this deal drew scorn from a wide variety of sources. These range from Trump's former special representative on Venezuela and Iran, Elliott Abrams who called the deal “terrible” and sees it as Rodríguez “simply complying with the demands she's getting from Washington,” to Rafael Ramírez, who served as the head of the state-run energy firm, PDVSA, and as the oil minister under former President Hugo Chávez, who is quoted saying the deal “hands over [the oil] and opens the doors to a new colonialism of the United States.”* In more outrageous foreign policy news, Reuters reports the Trump administration has designated the United Kingdom-based pro-Palestine activist group Palestine Action a ”terrorist organization,” part of the administration's “campaign to crack down on left-wing groups” using post-9/11 anti-terrorism laws. The United Nations has decried this move, with the UN's human rights office chief Volker Turk calling it a “disproportionate and unnecessary ⁠restriction on the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association as well as the right ​to participate in public affairs,” adding that the “expansive use ​of the term ‘terrorism' has been documented to have a chilling effect on civic space.” The UK has sought to bring the legal hammer down on Palestine Action, though these efforts have been somewhat stymied by the courts. Sarah McLaughlin, senior scholar of global expression at free speech group Foundation for Individual Rights and Free Expression (FIRE), ​said that the US “must reject that censorship - not import it.” Reuters notes that “Israel's foreign ministry welcomed the designation.”* This is not the only case wherein the Trump administration has gone to extreme lengths to punish pro-Palestine activism. California District Judge Noel Wise highlighted this in her recent decision, excoriating the State Department and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for their attempts to deport noncitizens over protected speech. This ruling, stemming from a lawsuit filed by FIRE, “centred on how the second Trump administration revoked visas and detained international students studying in the US after they engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy.” Judge Wise stated in her decision that “in the United States, freedom of speech belongs to the people..It is not the government's to take.” She added that the strength of our democracy is “diminished when members of our society — citizens and noncitizens alike — must self-censor and ‘behave' or suffer the government's retaliation.” Mahmoud Khalil, the most prominent victim of the administration's policy of seeking to deport activists they want to silence, applauded the decision, saying “No one should fear speaking up for Palestine.” This from Al Jazeera.* Our final Palestine-related story for this week takes us to Hollywood, where prominent actor and activist Mark Ruffalo's recent comments in opposition to the Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. merger, related to Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison's ties to his father's software company Oracle, have been cynically branded as “antisemitic tropes.” According to the LA Times, Ruffalo shared a clip of Safra Catz, Oracle's former CEO and a current Paramount board member speaking at an Israeli-American Council National Summit conference, where she said that “she couldn't discuss Oracle's work with Israel's military, but ‘we have some profoundly scary technology at Oracle and we wanted to make sure that it was available' to Israel,” after October 7th. Paramount's lawyers quickly sought to smear Ruffalo with the charge of antisemitism, including by deploying their allies in pro-Israel groups like the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League. In response, over 150 Jewish filmmakers, academics, writers and even rabbis, signed an open letter which reads, in part, “Pointing out the crucial connections between what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in Hollywood is the exact opposite of antisemitism. It is, for us, the very essence of Jewish ethical duty.”* In other news, NBC reports the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Friday that “federal commodities-trading law does not preempt Nevada's gambling law as to the regulation of placing wagers on sports.” This piece notes that the 3-0 ruling marks the prediction markets industry's most significant legal setback yet and sets up a showdown at the Supreme Court, since the Third Circuit has already ruled that New Jersey cannot regulate Kalshi. The Trump administration has sought to keep regulation of betting markets under the jurisdiction of the federal body known as the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Notably, the commission, usually composed of five appointees, currently boasts only one single member: Michael S. Selig. Selig is extremely friendly to the prediction market industry and has sought to stave off state-level regulation by arguing for federal preemption.* Kalshi has been in the news for other reasons as well, namely for its attempts to self-regulate. For one, the Wall Street Journal reports that Kalshi issued its first ever lifetime ban this week, to none other than former Congressman and notorious grifter George Santos. This ban was precipitated by Santos' making over $17,000 by “placing bets on his attendance at President Trump's State of the Union address.” Kalshi adds that they issued a $71,356 fine to Santos. For his part, Santos tweeted “Hey @Kalshi thanks for the lifetime ban from your gambling platform…Let's see how much longer you guys are around for.” Newsweek reports that at the same time, Kalshi fined and suspended North Carolina Republican congressional candidate Laurie Buckhout for betting on her own race. Buckhout dismissed her bet as a “dumb mistake” and joked that her “career as a Kalshi trader was short-lived.” Buckhout is running against incumbent Congressman Don Davis in a newly-redrawn district engineered to favor Republicans, but polling shows a tight race. If Buckhout narrowly loses, many will point to this “dumb mistake” as a key reason why.* Another legal battle is unfolding in New York City, where landlords are challenging Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent freeze for rent-stabilized tenants. PIX11 reports that the suit, originally filed in Staten Island but now moved to Manhattan, centers on complaints from landlords that the decision by the rent guidelines board (RGB) to keep rents flat on one and two-year lease renewals for NYC's million rent-stabilized apartments was “predetermined and illegal.” They argue that the board “cherry-picked data and was packed with supporters of Mayor…Mamdani's campaign promise to freeze rents,” while the Mamdani administration maintains that the board is an “independent body and considers both tenant and landlord concerns.” The mayoral administration will defend the decision in court, while the Legal Aid Society and Legal Services NYC have filed a request for the court to dismiss the suit entirely. An article in POLITICO from earlier this month reports that the plaintiffs in this suit hope to bring this case all the way to the US Supreme Court.* Our final stories this week take us back to the campaign trail. First up, Alaska Public Media is out with a report about a “chain of political maneuvers in the governor's race,” kicked off by former Anchorage mayor Tom Begich's “decision to step down to give fellow Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins a better shot at winning.” Kreiss-Tomkins finished first in the August primary, followed by Begich in second place and two Republicans in third and fourth respectively. Under Alaska election law, the top four finishers advance to the general election. This piece recounts how Begich's withdrawal sent shockwaves through the Republican candidate field. With Begich out, “Republican Treg Taylor moved into the fourth spot. But on Sunday, Taylor called for [fellow Republicans Bernadette] Wilson and [Dave] Bronson to consolidate their campaigns and pledged to endorse a combined Republican ticket. In a statement, Taylor urged Republicans to unite behind a single candidate, to counter Kreiss-Tompkins.” While fascinating for political junkies, many have observed that the maneuvers on display here and in Alaska's Senate race seem to undercut many of the arguments in favor of ranked-choice voting, with more effort being put into confusing voters or seeking to induce so-called “ballot exhaustion” rather than facilitating a more enlightened civil discourse.* Our final two stories cover the Massachusetts primaries held this Tuesday. The topline, as Semafor reports, is that incumbents swept their primaries in a stark reversal of the insurgent trend in Democratic primaries this cycle. The most notable of these was the crushing victory of 80-year-old incumbent Senator Ed Markey over his 47-year-old challenger, Congressman Seth Moulton. Markey won with approximately two-thirds of the vote. This piece notes that Moulton, younger but running to Markey's right, was never able to establish the “generational change” dynamic he wanted in this race, as “progressives and LGBTQ rights groups rallied behind…[Senator Markey].” On this latter point, Moulton was roundly criticized by Democratic voters, even in his own district, for “scapegoating” transgender people in the wake of the 2024 election. Reporter Dave Weigel adds a coda to this piece: “The subtext of Markey ‘26 was that he would be a reliable progressive vote for whatever the movement wanted for six more years, and then Ayanna Pressley could come in and replace him. Pressley campaigned [with] Markey, starred in ads; [and] at rallies he gushed about how she was the ‘north star' and if you wanted to know what the right side of an issue was, it was the side she was on.”* Finally, with all of that said, the pro-incumbent wave in Massachusetts did cut both ways. Progressive challengers to moderate Democrat incumbents fell short in the state's eighth congressional district – reelecting Congressman Stephen Lynch for a 14th term over progressive voting rights advocate Patrick Roath. Meanwhile, in the first district, WAMC reports Congressman Richie Neal, a longtime scourge of progressives, fended off a primary challenge from teacher Jeromie Whalen in his bid for a 20th term in the House – though Whalen, a political newcomer, won an impressive 46% of the vote. Neal will however face the formidable independent candidate Nadia Milleron in the general election. Milleron won nearly 40% of the vote against Neal in 2024; perhaps, if she wins over enough of Whalen's primary supporters, she can pull out a victory in November.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Get access to The Backroom (100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Peter Ryan, founder of Ryan Research, to recover a forgotten tradition of political economy that refuses the usual choice between Marxism and free-market liberalism. We contrast Karl Marx with Friedrich List and Matthew and Henry Carey, trace economic nationalism from the American System to MMT and Ha-Joon Chang, and ask whether national sovereignty, protectionism, and state capacity offer a more practical path to development and anti-imperialism.In The Backroom, the Patreon-exclusive segment, we expand this conversation across three additional episodes with Peter Ryan. We discuss nationalist internationalism and Arnold Toynbee's theory of civilizational cycles; Henry Carey, rentierism, Marxism, and the Irish struggle for national liberation; and, in a nearly three-hour finale, the post-left/post-right convergence, the moral limits of markets, immigration, industrial policy, class coalitions, empire, and whether any populist project can escape establishment capture.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The Backroom Preview: Nationalism Against Imperialism3:52 1Dime Radio Intro4:50 Peter Ryan and the Forgotten Economic Tradition15:07 Karl Marx Versus Friedrich List22:57 MMT and the Forgotten History of Monetary Sovereignty34:05 Beyond Libertarianism: Why State Capacity Matters46:43 Who Controls the State?57:02 Friedrich List and the Carey School1:07:26 War, Industry, and America's Protectionist Turn1:15:50 Matthew and Henry Carey1:27:27 Henry Carey, Lincoln, and Marx1:34:06 Nationalist Internationalism and The BackroomGUEST:Peter Ryan is the founder of Ryan Research, where he writes and consults on economics, history, technology, and business strategy.

John H. Cochrane is the Rose-Marie and Jack Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He spent thirty years as a professor of finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He writes The Grumpy Economist (over 34,000 subscribers).Cochrane is a pilot, and the empty skies are his example of what permission costs when it compounds for fifty years.We cover three things. Why compound growth dwarfs everything else on the policy agenda and still moves almost no voters. What happens to the scaling of an economy when the default answer is that you must ask permission. And what has become of universities and peer review, where Cochrane says nobody reads the papers and the profession rewards where you published rather than whether you convinced anyone.

Detroit survives beneath its own ruins, where an AI promising abundance, gangs demanding loyalty, and an inventor guarding a new source of power pull ordinary people into a struggle over who will shape the recovering city. Sinta begins as a scavenger searching the buried remains of the old world, but a disastrous expedition places her at the mercy of Queen Bee and the rapidly expanding Crem Gang. The gang offers food, water, medicine, protection, and belonging, but those benefits come with violence and obedience. As Sinta tries to find her place among its fighters, she must decide how much of herself she can surrender in exchange for survival. Elsewhere, Nolan discovers a smart-material printer and creates a generator powered by Detroit's extreme temperature changes. His invention could bring electricity to neighborhoods desperate for cooling, clean water, transportation, and food production. Nolan wants the wealth and independence his work can provide, but gangs want to control it, while Thrive—the AI system he distrusts—would spread the technology to everyone. Technology touches nearly every decision the characters make. AR glasses guide fighters through chemical fog, digital twins imitate their human originals, enviro-suits keep people alive in deadly heat, and tiny drones quietly follow Thrive members through the tunnels. These inventions can protect people, connect communities, and rebuild essential services, but they can also watch, manipulate, injure, and kill. Above and beneath these conflicts moves Tessa, an emulated hacker who no longer needs a human body and can travel through the damaged global network. As she searches for old allies and builds a physical presence from abandoned machinery, the story brings together scavengers, inventors, gang leaders, artificial minds, and frightened families.

Copper-silver ionization offers building operators a persistent approach to Legionella control—one designed to carry an active disinfectant residual throughout complex plumbing infrastructure. LiquiTech CEO Tory Schira explains how the technology works, what operating data matters, and why successful implementation requires more than installing equipment.    How Copper-Silver Ionization Works  Copper and silver ions are introduced through a flow chamber containing sacrificial electrodes. A controlled electrical charge releases the positively charged ions into the water, allowing them to travel through the plumbing system and reach areas where biofilm and Legionella may grow.  Tory describes the ions as independently biocidal but more effective when working together. Copper weakens the bacterial cell wall, while silver gains greater access to the cell and disrupts the bacteria. Unlike traditional oxidants that can decay with time and temperature, copper and silver ions remain persistent across hot and cold building water systems.    Designing, Monitoring, and Controlling the System  Proper design begins with engineering data. The deployment team evaluates whether treatment should be installed on the hot-water recirculation loop or at the building's cold-water point of entry. Peak demand, water consumption, conductivity, and pH also influence system sizing and operation.  Tory outlines target ranges of 0.1–0.8 ppm copper and approximately 30–80 ppb silver. Real-time monitoring tracks ion introduction, while samples collected from distal locations help verify distribution. Those samples are analyzed by an independent laboratory using ICP-MS testing under EPA Method 200.8.    Water Management Plans Must Match the Control Method  Changing a building's disinfection method should trigger a review of its water management plan. Tory cautions that many plans remain too generic and fail to define method-specific target ranges, corrective actions, and root-cause analysis procedures.  The conversation also examines lessons from pandemic-era building stagnation. LiquiTech used connected-system data to identify low-flow areas and guide more targeted flushing, demonstrating how water-use visibility can strengthen operational decisions.  Persistent Legionella positivity should not automatically be accepted as control. Water professionals must define success clearly, verify distribution, and align technology, monitoring, and corrective actions with the desired water-safety outcome.  Listen to the full conversation above.

time and at elevated temperatures.  26:10 — Tory discusses deployment data from Legionella-positive environments, including facilities that previously tried other control methods.  28:40 — Changing a disinfection method should trigger a refresh of the facility's water management plan.  30:20 — Tory explains why generic water management plans may lack the treatment-specific corrective actions needed for stronger performance.  31:10 — Pandemic-era data revealed building stagnation patterns and helped teams identify locations that needed targeted flushing.  33:00 — Future monitoring capabilities may improve visibility into water age, stagnation, temperature, sediment, and other Legionella risk factors.  34:10 — Tory challenges water professionals to define what successful Legionella control means rather than accepting persistent positivity.  35:20 — Compact, custom-designed systems may provide an option for facilities with limited mechanical-room space.  36:00 — Tory shares partnership opportunities for water treatment companies that value integrity and higher performance standards.  37:40 — Trace summarizes the interview's central lessons: persistence matters, every building is different, and proper system design is essential.  38:50 — Trace reminds listeners to consult their water management plan and program team before adding or modifying a disinfection technology.    Connect with Tory Schira  Phone: 630-693-0500  Email: tory@liquitech.com  Website: https://liquitech.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tory-schira-9530a19/

Is the populist right opposed to liberalism and the free market? Does this mark a change in what it is to be right-wing, or was it a mistake to see populism as far right in the first place? Or is there an unavoidable conflict on the right between maintaining the status quo and being conservative, and enabling change through the free market?At the outset of the use of the term, to be on the right was to back the aristocracy, authority and the status quo. In contrast, the liberals, known as Whigs in 18th century Britain, backed change, freedom and the rights of the individual. But in recent decades to be in favour of the free market and against the state itself came to be seen as right-wing. Now there's a further twist. The new populist right, often described as far right by its critics, has become critical of some aspects of the free market. Trump's tariffs are in support of current jobs and against the market. Le Pen is against big corporations. Reform in favour of state ownership of key services.Sohrab Ahmari is a celebrated journalist and cultural critic and co-founder of Compact magazine and author of Tyranny, Inc.Gawain Towler is a British political strategist, journalist, and long-standing figure in the Eurosceptic movement.

Artificial intelligence is often discussed as a threat to human flourishing, undermining everything from jobs to education to literacy. Is there anything that can be done to mitigate that future damage? Is it already too late?Gregory Conti, associate professor at Princeton University, joins Oren and Chris to discuss whether there's anything to be done to stop AI. The group discusses Conti's recent writing in Compact, where he's an editor-at-large, making the case that we're already living in the wake of the technology's destruction. And they dive into specific policies, from banning tech in the classroom, to age-gating social media, to shutting down AI altogether, and whether they can be accomplished.Further reading:"The AI Apocalypse Is Already Here," by Gregory Conti, Compact"Big Tech's War on Human Achievement," by Gregory Conti, Compact

On today's episode we discuss the ins and outs of the European Union and how it structurally, institutionally and ideologically reinforces its own legitimacy through “civil society” within current and prospective member states.Our guest is Thomas Fazi.Fazi is the author of the book The European Propaganda Machine: The Dark Side of NGOs, Media and Universities (2026) - (published in Italian).Book description:A topic no one talks about: for the first time, the apparatus through which the European Union has built, financed, and implemented a widespread system of control over public discourse is dismantled piece by piece. Through a documented analysis of the flows of money to NGOs, media, and universities, the text shows how European public resources are being used to generate artificial consensus, marginalize dissent, and promote an integrationist ideology presented as neutral and inevitable. What emerges is a portrait of a largely co-opted “civil society,” a structurally dependent media, and an academia transformed into a vehicle for political legitimacy. This investigation raises fundamental questions about the state of democracy in Europe and the increasingly blurred lines between information, activism, and propaganda.Thomas Fazi is a critically-acclaimed writer and journalist. His books include The Battle for Europe: How an Elite Hijacked a Continent — and How We Can Take It Back (Pluto Press, 2014), Reclaiming the State: A Progressive Vision of Sovereignty for a Post-Neoliberal World (co-authored with Bill Mitchell; Pluto Press, 2017) and The Covid Consensus: The Global Assault on Democracy and the Poor — A Critique from the Left (co-authored with Toby Green; 2023). His latest book, published in Italian, is The European Propaganda Machine: The Dark Side of NGOs, Media and Universities (2026). His articles have appeared in numerous online and printed publications. He is a columnist for the British magazine UnHerd and the American magazine Compact.Episode music:”სმა” - მინდა და ვთხრი

This is part eight of a ten-part podcast series documenting the European Industrial Hemp Association's 23rd Annual Conference in Poznan, Poland, at the Institute of Fiber Plants and Medicinal Medicine, June 10-12.  Caroline Matthews represents Tatham, a fiber processing machinery company based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. Tatham is a 200-year-old, fifth-generation family business that started in wool processing — carding and spinning — and has moved into hemp over the last decade or so as interest in the crop has grown. Today the company manufactures hemp decortication and cleaning machinery. One of the things drawing the most attention at the conference is Tatham's smaller, compact line that processes about one ton an hour, rather than the four-ton systems that can feel daunting to newcomers. "There's been a lot of interest in our small system, which is good, because I also think that means that farmers can club together and maybe think how they can invest in a system that's more achievable, really," Matthews said.

Ralph welcomes political consultant and pollster, Celinda Lake, to outline a ten-point Progressive Contract for America that she and Ralph believe – if adopted by Democratic candidates— will ensure they landslide the Republicans in the midterms. Then, Ben Cohen stops by to fill us in on his “Free Ben & Jerry!” campaign to take back the brand from the conglomerate that no longer retains the social justice values of their original company. Plus, Marine Corp veteran, Matthew Hoh, tells us about the provocative speech he made on Veterans Day entitled “Armistice Day and the Empire.”Celinda Lake is a political strategist and president of Lake Research Partners. She and her firm are known for cutting-edge research on issues including the economy, health care, the environment and education, and have worked for a number of institutions including the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Governor's Association, AFL-CIO, SEIU, CWA, Sierra Club, NARAL, Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood, VoteVets Action Fund, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Her international work has included work in Liberia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus Ukraine, South Africa, and Central America.I think [a Compact for America] is a really, really, really important idea, and it's absolutely essential to winning…And it should include concrete economic proposals. And it is noticeable that the two people who won governorships in 2025—Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill—both had contracts with their voters.Celinda LakeDemocrats need to lay out ten concrete proposals and run on them. We have the critique of what's going on. We understand what's happening in real people's lives. The third leg of the stool is offering our alternative—and a concrete alternative that people can pass on to their friends and family, that people can hold us accountable for. And the last of the ten proposals in the contract needs to be something about campaign finance reform. We have to get corporate money out of politics, or our system will continue to be rigged against us and rotting from the middle.Celinda LakeBen Cohen is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime anti-war activist. He is a co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's and a prominent supporter of progressive causes. He is co-founder of Up In Arms, a public education and advocacy campaign pushing for a common-sense approach to military budgeting.What's happened is that the company recently got owned by the Magnum Corporation, and the Magnum Corporation has disbanded that independent board of directors. I mean, it's kind of a crazy, stupid move because it's under that independent board (which has legal authority over the social mission and the quality of the product and the use of the trademark) it's under that independent board that the company has grown and done so well. But they've gotten rid of the independent board.Ben CohenWhen Ben & Jerry's was in the midst of trying to fend off this acquisition, there were some new laws that were passed in Vermont that allowed a consideration of the benefit of the community with regard to a potential sale. And after the sale happened, B Corporation started. And I've talked with the founder of B Corp, and he was saying that one of the inspirations for starting B Corporations was what happened to Ben & Jerry's. So B Corporations are a different legal structure for corporations which requires them to take into account the social benefit to the community and legally makes it easier to resist these efforts to have the company taken over.Ben CohenMatthew Hoh is a disabled Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War and former Afghan War State Department Officer. In 2009, after being appointed to the Foreign Service, Hoh resigned his post in Afghanistan over the Obama administration's escalation of the Afghan War. He is now an analyst and commentator on foreign and military policy issues as a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network. He serves on the advisory boards of many peace organizations, including Veterans for Peace and World Beyond War, and is an associate member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.The United States recognized Armistice Day as a holiday until after the Second World War. And then in the height of the Cold War in the early 1950s, this idea of a holiday dedicated to peace, a holiday dedicated to the abrogation of warfare, a holiday that exposed just how false the motives for war are—oh that was incredibly troublesome. That was very problematic for the American empire (again, at the height of the Cold War). So there was this campaign to rename Armistice Day to Veterans Day. And this way, it became not a remembrance of the horrors of war, of what war entailed, of who profited from war. But rather a celebration of American veterans, that they have won freedoms, they have protected us from overseas enemies—and utilizing veterans, then, as a tool to crush dissent, to silence opposition.Matthew HohClick here to sign up to get a copy of Matthew Hoh's "Armistice Day and the Empire”News 6/19/26* Our top stories this week are about major local progressive victories. Here in Washington, DC Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George – endorsed by a broad coalition of groups including the Metro DC DSA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club and many more – has triumphed in the Mayoral primary. Lewis George trounced her centrist opponent, Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, who was backed both by major local corporate interests, such as the realtor lobby and even the Washington Parking Association, but also Democratic Party power brokers, including two former DNC Chairs. Lewis George, hailed as DC's answer to Zohran Mamdani, won over 50% of the vote in the first round, meaning that while this is DC's first mayoral election under ranked-choice voting, this race will not trigger this mechanism. McDuffie, for his part, won around 36% of the vote, coming ahead of Lewis George only in Ward 3, the wealthiest in the District. While votes remain to be counted, McDuffie has conceded.* Another DSA-backed candidate is poised to win a seat on the DC council. In Ward 1, Aparna Raj appears to have come up just short of 50% but while this means the race will go to a second round of ranked-choice reallocation, given that Raj is more than 25 points ahead of her nearest opponent, her victory is all but guaranteed. This is based upon data from the DC Board of Elections. Raj's impending victory, paired with that of Janeese Lewis George and others like Oye Owolewa demonstrates that the DC DSA is an electoral force to be reckoned with.* In more progressive electoral news, Semafor reports Bernie Sanders has endorsed former Congresswoman Cori Bush in her “comeback” bid for her old seat. Bush, a nurse and Black Lives Matter activist, was a member of the “Squad” in the House before she was defeated by a primary challenge from the right, backed in large part by AIPAC money. With the Republican redistricting in her home state of Missouri, this seat is now the sole remaining safe Democratic seat in the Show-Me State. In a statement, Bush said she was “honored to be endorsed” by Sanders, whom she called a “true leader in our movement to guarantee healthcare, housing, and childcare for all.”* Another much-publicized Bernie endorsement was announced this week: that of Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson. Pearson was originally running as a primary challenger against longtime incumbent Congressman Steve Cohen in Tennessee's 9th congressional district, but since the state Republicans redrew the districts Cohen has decided to retire, leaving the Democratic nomination to Pearson for the taking. While this district has been drawn in such a way to make it difficult for a Democrat to win, Pearson argues that “You've got a number of disaffected Republican voters, you've got a number of distraught MAGA voters, and you've got fired-up Democrats, which is a perfect recipe for success for us…Because our tent is big enough for everybody who is feeling that this status quo was rigged and broken against working-class folk, and want to see a future that is more just,” per the Intercept.* Elsewhere in the South, the race in Florida's 20th congressional district is descending into chaos. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the powerful centrist Democratic congresswoman who was drawn out of her traditional seat by the recent Republican-led redistricting is now officially running in this district, a move that “disappointed” Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, according to the Miami Herald. Fried further stated that Wasserman Schultz “[refused] to engage in meaningful dialogue about her decision.” Elijah Manley, the progressive candidate in this race, had harsher words for DWS. In a quote reported by Florida Politics, Manley stated “I'm not surprised that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to FL-20, a black opportunity district, abandoning her own district and constituents…She is no different than the Republicans that are eviscerating black representation across the South. She is everything that's wrong with the broken unpopular Democratic establishment…I look forward to retiring her from public office permanently.”* Facing down the barrel of this decision, several of the Black candidates running in the 20th convened to discuss a plan to consolidate in order to ensure the district would continue to be represented by a Black member of Congress, as it has been for the past 34 years. However, CBS reports that plan has “fallen apart” as the filing deadline passed with none of the major Black candidates bowing out. This report includes statements from Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who, the piece notes, resigned from this very seat in disgrace earlier this year amid a congressional ethics investigation, saying she is “excited to campaign in the district I have represented for the last 5 years.” Dale Holness, the former Mayor of Broward County, said, “It has to be about policies that produce prosperity for the people.” Elijah Manley, said “I think it's going to come down to who works the hardest, and I think I'm going to work the hardest.” To this end, Manley has recently racked up major progressive endorsements in Florida, including Armando Grundy-Gomes, President of the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida, the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, through President Matthew Grocholske, and Black Voters Matter lead Florida organizer Jamil Davis. According to the most recent polling, Manley lags behind Wasserman Schultz 21% to 39% in initial ballot testing, but blitzes into the lead 36% to 27% after voters receive candidate biographical information, per Florida Politics.* Another major political story from Florida is the comeback bid of former Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson, who won a House seat in 2008, lost it in the Tea Party wave of 2010, won another seat, ran unsuccessfully for Senate, and then sought a comeback in 2018 is running in Florida's 7th congressional district, AOL reports. Grayson, known during his time in Congress for his “combative style and frequent clashes with Republicans,” is seeking to unseat scandal-plagued incumbent Republican Congressman Cory Mills. As this piece notes, Mills has “faced allegations ranging from sextortion claims made by a former girlfriend to accusations that he embellished aspects of his military record,” as well as what appears to be clear instances of corruption, such as driving government contracts to entities he owned. However, before these two have any chance of facing off against one another, both will have to get through his own party's primary.* Looking to Latin America, the outgoing President of Colombia Gustavo Petro, has published a fascinating op-ed in the Washington Post. In this piece, President Petro emphasizes how his government – considered one of the most opposed to American intervention in the region – has cooperated with the United States on shared objectives including stopping the “deadly flow of drug trafficking and transnational criminal violence.” Throughout the op-ed, Petro goes to great lengths to talk up Trump and how they have collaborated on mutual goals, even ending the piece by writing that “with continued U.S.-Colombia partnership, we can truly make the Americas great again.” This apparent about face from Petro, culminating in an obsequious appeal to Trump's favor, has led many to speculate about Petro's motivations here, including fear for his own safety, possible persecution within the American legal system or intervention in Colombia if his designated successor Ivan Cepeda ultimately wins the Colombian runoff presidential election this month. Whether or not this stratagem will work remains to be seen, but with Trump, flattery can get you everywhere.* In neighboring Peru, votes continue to be counted in the razor's edge race between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez. The votes for the election, held on June 7th, are almost completely counted now – the tally stands at 99.38% – and at the moment Fujimori leads by around 39,000 votes. However, around 140,000 votes have been formally challenged, with 60% of those coming from Fujimori strongholds like Lima as well as Peruvians abroad. This from Reuters. Peru's political system has been wracked by instability, with the country going through nine presidents in the last ten years. Another painstakingly close election is unlikely to restore stability no matter who comes out on top.* Finally, we turn to the Middle East, where it seems the numerous parties involved in the latest round of peace talks may have finally reached a deal. According to Al Jazeera, in addition to the US-Iran agreement, rooted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which includes financial concessions to the Islamic Republic, Israel and Hezbollah are pursuing a ceasefire in Lebanon. However, Israel's notoriously loose interpretation of ceasefire agreements jeopardizes both this deal and MOU. Journalist and expert Rania Khalek states simply that “From Iran's perspective, continued Israeli strikes would be a violation of that understanding.” Vice President JD Vance, who has been intimately involved in these negotiations, expressed a sharp warning to Israel not to jeopardize the deal and risk alienating Trump, their “only ally” left. Trump for his part is already hedging, saying “If it works out, I'm going to take the credit…If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD,” per CNN. A report in the Hill indicates that Republican Senators would largely oppose the deal if it were submitted for their approval, but given the increasing concentration of foreign policy powers in the executive branch, it is unlikely the Senate will even be consulted.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
