Can a public library legally trespass you if you haven't committed a crime? And if the library wants you gone, how far does a responding police officer have to investigate before enforcing that decision?In this episode of Two Cops One Donut, Sgt. Erik Lavigne breaks down a viral interaction involving Long Island Audit and a public library, separating three issues that constantly get mixed together: First Amendment rights, public property, and criminal trespass.The discussion gets into who actually has authority to trespass someone from a government building, whether police need to know why the library wants someone removed, when filming is constitutionally protected, and where officers can cross the line by trying to manufacture charges or solicit an offense.Erik also walks through Texas Penal Code §30.05, Hudson v. State, Wilson v. State, and Kreimer v. Bureau of Police while explaining why “it's public property” does not automatically mean unrestricted access. The central distinction: a trespass order and the constitutional justification behind that order may be two separate legal fights. The livestream then expands into a broader conversation about police accountability, officers knowing the elements of an offense, qualified immunity, Pennsylvania v. Mimms, filming police, traffic stops, officer safety, and why cops should be willing to call out bad police work even when it comes from their own side. Two Cops One Donut is not a police echo chamber. The goal is simple: call out bad policing, highlight good policing, protect constitutional rights, and figure out how the profession can actually improve.Follow, subscribe, and share the episode if you want more conversations that challenge both sides instead of blindly defending one.send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comSupport the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc *Send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.com

A camera, a refusal to answer questions, and an arrest for “criminal loitering.” What justified taking this man's freedom?Police Sergeant Erik Lavigne breaks down footage from First Amendment Protection Agency and explains why he believes the officers crossed the line. Drawing on nearly 20 years in policing, Erik examines the encounter through the eyes of a responding officer and a supervisor responsible for holding officers accountable.The discussion tackles the right to record, remaining silent, detention versus arrest, and the difference between lawful authority and an officer expecting compliance. Live audience questions push the conversation into qualified immunity, gaps in police training, and what meaningful accountability should look like.Erik also walks through how he would handle the call, including talking with the complainant, explaining protected activity, and recognizing when there's no enforcement action to take.You don't have to like First Amendment auditors to care about their rights. Watch or listen, weigh the footage, and decide: what should have happened here?Original footage credited to First Amendment Protection Agency.

“Because I wanted to.”That's the explanation a Miami police officer gives when asked why he put two men in the back of his patrol car. What began as an exchange over blocking traffic escalated into demands for ID and handcuffs. Was this about enforcing the law, or an officer who couldn't handle being challenged?In this episode of Two Cops One Donut, active-duty police sergeant Erik Lavigne breaks down the encounter, questions the officer's safety explanation, and examines the reported internal affairs findings. He also challenges what the edited footage leaves out, including part of the responding supervisor's explanation.The discussion gets into reasonable suspicion, Florida identification requirements, detention versus arrest, and what supervisors should do when someone wants to file a complaint. Erik shares a mistake from his own early career and explains why emotional control and constitutional training matter when an encounter turns confrontational.You don't have to like a First Amendment auditor's approach to take their rights seriously. But where does protected criticism become actual interference, and what should happen when an officer crosses the line?Listen to the breakdown and decide for yourself.

CCR (7/30/26) This week on CounterSpin: No humor intended: Listening to this show might make you a domestic terrorist. Yes, the Trump White House is trying to make anyone a “terrorist” who speaks out publicly, or co-signs silently, against their plans or policies. That for sure means anyone who signs up on lists in support of outlets like this one, that make such dissent a core concern. At a time where we're being told that speaking out in criticism of those in power is a crime, we need news media that do more than just narrate that nightmare. But that's not what we have. The net is widening; which side are you on? Samer Araabi is the associate director of political education and research at the Center for Constitutional Rights. He wrote recently about how Trump is employing “counterterrorism” as an effort to target anyone who dissents at all in the face of the stuff they're doing. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260904Araabi.mp3 Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at recent coverage of modern-day lynching, erasure of history and the lethal impact of targeting immigrants. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260904Banter.mp3

Send us Fan MailYour license plate is not just a number, it is a key that can unlock a timeline of where you have been. We sit down with Robert Fromer, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, to unpack how automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) including Flock Safety camera networks collect vehicle data at scale, store it in searchable databases, and create opportunities for both error and abuse. From stalking scandals to misreads that end with innocent drivers pulled over at gunpoint, we focus on the real world costs that rarely show up in glossy “public safety” sales pitches.We also get practical about the Fourth Amendment. We connect modern surveillance to Kyllo v United States and to the Supreme Court's recent geofence warrant ruling (Chatry), which wrestles with the dangers of pervasive, retrospective location tracking. The core question is simple: when government can cheaply map long term routines and sensitive visits, should that power be treated as a search that requires meaningful judicial oversight?Finally, we shift from theory to action. If your city is considering ALPR deployment, we walk through what to ask at public meetings: camera placement, data retention, who can query the system, what approvals are required, whether audits actually happen, and how funding can bypass democratic accountability. We also look ahead to facial recognition and even national security risks when surveillance credentials or data leak.Subscribe for more clear legal conversations, share this with a friend who cares about privacy, and leave a review to help others find the show.

First up on the show, I sit down with Beryl Lipton from the Electronic Frontier Foundation to talk about the Drone-as-First-Responder Programs, which yes, are as horrifying as they sound. Beryl outlines the ever expanding grey area where constitutional rights and accountability fall away in service of more efficient surveillance technology, and that includes AI. Beryl and I also discuss the pitfalls of that AI, not least of all that its created both in the image and in service of a racist, patriarchal so-called justice system. Next up, I sit down with Ian Head from the Center for Constitutional Rights to talk about the slow death of the Freedom of Information Act. Ian outlines the various ways in which law enforcement agencies in particular avoid accountability, and various strategies to keep fighting for our right to know.   The News That Didn't Make the News.

In this mid-week special, you may have noticed a change in our introduction, that we're listing TFSR.Media as our website (a work in progress, currently pointed at our blog, soon to be pointed at our new web host). This is because we're moving our website from NoBlogs.org following the August 26, 2026 announcements by the US State Department and Department of Treasury that designated the hosts of NoBlogs, the Italian autonomous tech collective Autistici / Inventati as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and placed it on the Specially Designated Nationals list under Executive Order 13224. In this conversation you'll hear a member of the crimethinc ex-workers collective and Sprout from Sabot Media talk about the designation, the intended impacts on anarchist, antifascist and other movements by the US government, and what can come next if we're up for the fight. I invite listeners to check out the statement from CrimethInc as well as the public letter still awaiting more signatures and articles available on the subject from sabot.media.

Twenty-five years after September 11th, Guantánamo Bay is still open. Fifteen men are still held there. Six have never been charged with anything at all. And on August 26, 2026, a military judge finally set a trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three co-defendants: June 5, 2028, nearly 27 years after the attacks. In the first episode of Immigrantly's three-part 9/11 at 25 series, Saadia Khan sits down with Shayana Kadidal, Senior Managing Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, who has litigated Guantánamo cases since 2002. He filed the first habeas petition on behalf of detainees when no one in Washington would carry the papers to the courthouse. He was one of the first lawyers allowed onto the base. This conversation covers what actually built Guantánamo and what has kept it standing through four presidencies: • Why the first people held at Guantánamo were not Muslims, but Black Haitian refugees intercepted at sea in 1991• How the U.S. filled the prison using leaflets and $5,000 bounties, not battlefield capture• The domestic sweeps of South Asian and Arab Muslim men, held in secret immigration hearings with their names erased from the public docket• Mohammed al-Qahtani, a schizophrenic man held roughly two decades, much of it in solitary confinement, and Abu Zubaydah, the first man waterboarded, still never charged• Guled Duran, cleared for release by six agencies, whose habeas petition has sat with a judge for a decade• Why the torture evidence argument is not the reason these cases never went to trial• And what it means that the Trump administration flew roughly 500 immigrants to Guantánamo between February and June 2025, at a reported cost of about $100,000 per person per day The machinery built in 2001 was never dismantled. Machinery that isn't dismantled gets used again on somebody else. Saadia's take: she is not here to acknowledge the anniversary. She is here to audit it. Learn more about the Center for Constitutional Rights at ccrjustice.org, or follow @ccrjustice. Next Tuesday: a woman whose father, a firefighter, went into the towers and did not come out. She was six. She has spent the years since objecting to what this country did to Muslims in her family's name.

On August 12, 2026, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Navarre's Pastries in Springfield, Livingston Parish, Louisiana, uncovering a reported distribution hub for nine types of drugs including cocaine, MDMA, and Adderall, along with 52 firearms (bolt-action rifles, pump-action shotguns, one AR-style rifle, one Japanese Type 11 machine gun, and one stolen from the Sheriff's Office) and $3,550 in cash. Owner Jules Navarre faces 62 charges, primarily 52 counts of possessing a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, plus possession of a stolen firearm and nine counts of possession with intent to distribute various drugs. Sheriff Jason Ard described it as a narcotics distribution hub; the business is currently closed and Navarre remains in custody, presumed innocent pending trial. Louisiana law permits disposition of seized firearms via auction, transfer, or sale to an FFL upon conviction or plea. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The raid and charges affect Jules Navarre and Navarre's Pastries in Springfield, Livingston Parish, Louisiana; the operation appears local to Livingston Parish with no interstate or multi-state distribution details stated. Impact: Navarre faces 62 felony-level charges under Louisiana law, with the majority tied to firearm possession alongside controlled substances, plus drug distribution and stolen property counts; seized firearms may be auctioned, transferred, or sold to a federal firearms licensee post-conviction or plea, highlighting state-level enforcement of combined drug-gun offenses. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: A Louisiana bakery was allegedly used as a local hub for drug distribution and illegal firearm possession, resulting in dozens of charges against the owner and seizure of 52 guns and narcotics; the case remains ongoing with presumption of innocence. bearingarms.com (Savage) Giffords Board Member Sari Horwitz Discovers Shocking Fact About the Politics of Gun Control Explore the politics and campaign finance dynamics behind gun control after school shootings. Sari Horwitz, former Washington Post reporter and new Giffords board member, wrote in The Atlantic that a study found pro-Second Amendment groups increased political contributions by over 30% (up to 2,820% near elections) after school shootings. Bearing Arms columnist Cam Edwards argues this reflects smart political responsiveness rather than cynicism, noting gun-control PACs increased spending similarly and surpassed pro-gun groups by 2018, with the study showing no measurable effect on election outcomes. The Gist: Affects U.S. national gun control advocacy groups including Giffords and pro-Second Amendment PACs; focuses on federal and competitive-district elections following school shootings. Impact: Highlights perceived hypocrisy in gun-control advocates labeling pro-gun spending increases as cynical while their own PACs engage in identical post-tragedy fundraising; reinforces arguments that gun rights groups effectively counter emotional pressure for new restrictions without proven electoral impact. Bottom Line: The article frames Horwitz's Atlantic piece as advocacy journalism that ignores symmetric behavior by gun-safety groups, concluding her claims should not be taken at face value. bearingarms.com (Savage) Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC v. Iron Horse R&R LLC (CAM-L-002643-26) NJ developer sues long-standing gun range over alleged environmental issues in a potential land grab dispute. Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC, controlled by Pennsylvania lawyer and real estate investor Harvey Sternberg, filed suit in Camden County Superior Court against Iron Horse R&R LLC, a gun club operating since 1947 in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. The complaint alleges environmental violations including improper solid waste disposal, soil stockpiling, and potential contamination affecting adjoining properties, seeking to halt range operations. Iron Horse characterizes the action as a land-grab attempt to facilitate residential development on the adjacent Waddell Property, with a public hearing scheduled for September 4. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The lawsuit targets Iron Horse gun range in Gloucester Township, Camden County, New Jersey; it involves the adjoining Waddell Property under contract to Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC for potential townhome development (context of 750 additional units) and directly affects the long-operating private gun club and local township enforcement actions. Impact: Claims center on untested “potentially contaminated” soil and environmental harm under implied state statutes, with Sternberg's $44k+ in donations to local Democrats and PACs since 2021 noted; the case raises concerns over regulatory use against established ranges to enable redevelopment, with Iron Horse optimistic ahead of the Sept. 4 hearing. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: This Camden County suit (CAM-L-002643-26) pits a developer against a 79-year-old New Jersey gun range in what the club calls a land-grab; no soil testing has been conducted on the alleged contamination, and the dispute will proceed to public hearing on September 4. The Truth About Guns (Savage) Abdul El-Sayed Floated Replacing 2nd Amendment with Constitutional Right to Health Care (Michigan U.S. Senate Candidate, 2023 Video) Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once floated trading the Second Amendment for a right to health care. In a since-deleted April 6, 2023 YouTube video titled variations of “The Right to Bear Arms – The Right to Have Healthcare!”, Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed proposed amending the Constitution by replacing the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms with a “right to have health care.” He argued the change would result in “fewer people dying by gun and more people living because they have healthcare.” The clips were removed prior to his Senate run; his campaign later stated that he “respects the Second Amendment, and also believes that access to healthcare is a right.” The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The proposal was made by Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan; it would require a national constitutional amendment under Article V and therefore affect the entire United States, with particular political relevance to Michigan voters in the 2026 Senate race. Impact: The suggestion revives debate over repealing or altering the Second Amendment, a change that would face insurmountable Article V hurdles (two-thirds of both houses of Congress plus three-fourths of the states) and trigger intense opposition from gun-rights groups; politically, the resurfaced 2023 video has drawn criticism and scrutiny of El-Sayed's past progressive positions on guns, police funding, and July 4th celebrations during his current campaign. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: El-Sayed's now-deleted video explicitly floated trading the individual right to keep and bear arms for a constitutional “right to health care” on the theory it would save more lives; the idea remains aspirational rhetoric with no legislative traction, and his campaign now emphasizes respect for the Second Amendment alongside support for expanded healthcare access. townhall.com (Savage) Gavin Newsom Signs the Stop Nick Shirley Act (AB 2624) Into Law Gov. Gavin Newsom signs the controversial Stop Nick Shirley Act, raising free speech and journalism concerns. On August 23, 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2624, known as the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” The legislation targets citizen journalist Nick Shirley's investigations that exposed fraud schemes in nonprofit and government programs in California and Minnesota. It restricts publication of certain nonprofit information and prohibits unauthorized recordings or photographs of employees and volunteers. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected) The law applies only to California, imposing restrictions on nonprofit organizations, their employees, volunteers, and individuals conducting investigations or journalism within the state. It does not extend to other states. Impact: Legal/Political Impact The bill creates new limits on recording, photographing, and publishing information about nonprofits, with potential fines and imprisonment for violations. Opponents, including Senator Tony Strickland, Carl DeMaio, and Eric Daugherty, argue it chills free speech, journalism, and accountability efforts,...

"The lie in slippery slope is that there are no brakes. The lie in motte-and-bailey is that there is no difference." Hannah Wallen hosts with Lauren Brooks and Mike Stevenson: there is a constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Anthony Fauci pleads the Fifth more than 100 times, raising one unavoidable question: Why won't the media ask the questions every American should ask? RFK Jr.'s confrontation with CNN exposed far more than a disagreement over COVID. Together, these moments reveal a deeper crisis: the death of a press that once held government accountable. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times after receiving one of the broadest presidential pardons in modern history, yet much of the legacy media showed little interest in examining the constitutional, legal, and political implications. At the same time, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s exchange with Dana Bash exposed how many journalists now defend government authority instead of challenging it. This episode goes far beyond COVID. It examines what happens when the media, bureaucracy, politicians, and powerful institutions stop holding one another accountable. Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the constitutional questions surrounding Fauci's testimony, the media's role during the pandemic, the collapse of journalistic skepticism, and why every American - Republican, Democrat, and Independent alike - must demand accountability before the next national emergency. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why Anthony Fauci's Fifth Amendment testimony raises major constitutional and legal questions. How RFK Jr.'s CNN interview challenged the media's COVID narrative and exposed the collapse of journalistic skepticism. Why emergency powers, censorship, and bureaucratic overreach threaten constitutional government and individual liberty. How the media, bureaucracy, politicians, and Big Tech reinforced one another instead of holding each other accountable. What concrete reforms can restore constitutional guardrails, government accountability, and a truly independent press. If you care about the Constitution, freedom of the press, government accountability, and the future of self-government, this episode is for you.

We're back — maybe getting a little too scheduled — with one opinion on the docket: West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, where the Court held that states may limit girls' and women's sports teams to biological sex without violation Equal Protection or Title IX. First, though, Will collects on a two-year-old prediction when the Court grants Jouppi v. Alaska, an Institute for Justice case about a five-figure airplane forfeited over a six-pack of beer. On the main event, we work through how the opinions are written (no pronouns, no "Lindsay"), what the litigants' Title IX concession did to the case, and whether there is any such thing as an as-applied equal protection challenge. Will makes a big-swing prediction about transgender status and heightened scrutiny, and we ask whether the Court's reasoning can be squared with VMI and the anti-stereotyping cases.

"The Declaration meets the machine age" In this episode of The Declaration at 250, Michael McConnell frames a question the Founders never confronted: if the Declaration grounds rights in human nature, what happens when machines can generate persuasive, human-like language at scale? Constitutional scholar Alexander Tsesis argues that the Declaration's conception of rights is inherently human-centered—rooted in consciousness, moral agency, intentionality, and the capacity to participate in a constitutional republic—so AI systems are not and should not become First Amendment rights-holders. He warns that treating large language models as protected “speakers” would be a major break from the Declaration's principles and could make ordinary democratic regulation—transparency requirements, labeling of synthetic content, safety rules, data practices, and restrictions on deceptive election deepfakes—far harder by forcing courts into strict scrutiny review. Stanford historian Anne Twitty broadens the lens by situating abolitionists' use of the Declaration within wider 19th-century conflicts over speech and constitutional meaning, reminding listeners that rival traditions—including censorship and suppression—also shaped American practice. She also presses a key tension in Tsesis's framework: abolitionists championed not only the right to speak, but the public's right to hear, circulate, and access contested ideas (as seen in the abolitionist postal campaign and opposition to the congressional gag rule). That listener-centered strand, she suggests, could potentially be invoked by scholars arguing for some constitutional shelter for AI-generated communications—an argument Tsesis acknowledges but ultimately resists by emphasizing that the First Amendment's core purpose is protecting human expression and self-government, not machine output.

Host Michael McConnell introduces the episode's core dilemma: the Declaration's natural-rights logic underwrites later constitutional protections like free speech—so where does that leave generative AI? [00:01:18] Chapter 2 - Thesis: Why Tsesis says AI can't be a First Amendment rights-holder Alexander Tsesis argues the Declaration and Constitution are human-centered: AI lacks consciousness, moral agency, and political personhood, so extending rights to LLMs would depart from founding principles and hinder regulation. [00:10:08] Chapter 3 - Regulatory Stakes: What happens if courts treat LLM outputs as protected “speech”? Tsesis warns that First Amendment coverage for AI could trigger strict scrutiny and undermine laws on transparency, labeling, safety, data practices, and election deepfakes—citing recent doctrine and cases like Reed v. Town of Gilbert. [00:52:35] Chapter 4 - Historical Challenge: Do abolitionists' “right to hear” arguments support listener-centric AI rights? Historian Anne Twitty complicates the record: abolitionists elevated the Declaration, but censorship traditions were strong; she highlights abolitionist campaigns (postal campaign, gag rule) to argue listener rights might bolster pro-AI speech theories. [01:04:17] Chapter 5 - Tsesis Response: Listener rights matter—but is the First Amendment still speaker-centered? Tsesis agrees the right to receive information is important, yet maintains free speech is fundamentally about protecting human intention and self-expression, not conferring constitutional status on machine outputs.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, are we preserving the principles that made the United States exceptional—or watching them slowly disappear? In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Ned Ryun, CEO of American Majority and creator of the new documentary Thread of Liberty, for a deep conversation about the American Founding, the Constitution, the rise of the administrative state, and why the next generation must understand the true story of America's experiment in self-government. They discuss the Founding Fathers' vision for a constitutional republic, the realities of slavery and the Civil War, Alexis de Tocqueville's observations about American exceptionalism, the dangers of centralized government, and why preserving liberty requires an informed and engaged citizenry.

What happens when Americans expect FBI-level investigations from departments operating on county budgets?In this Best of Common Sense episode, Chad Law explores the widening gap between federal investigative agencies and the local law enforcement officers responsible for solving the vast majority of crimes in America.Using one nationally watched investigation as a starting point, Chad explains why modern policing increasingly depends on resources many local agencies simply don't possess—and why the answer isn't necessarily more federal power, but stronger local institutions.Along the way, the conversation covers:• The difference between federal and local investigative capabilities• Why constitutional policing matters• How staffing and training affect justice• Why Americans ignore the elections that matter most• Whether technology can ever replace community policing• Why rebuilding local government may be the key to rebuilding trustIf you've ever wondered why some investigations look dramatically different than others, this episode explains the structural reasons behind it.

After taking some time away to help my family through my dad's open-heart surgery, I'm back with a new episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson. Thank you to everyone who reached out and supported my family during this time.Today, I share my opinions on several current events. I discuss why I believe America must remain a sovereign nation and why I have concerns about the growing military relationship between the United States and Israel, including why I believe these actions raise real constitutional and legal questions.I also share my thoughts on the continued loss of American service members in the Iran War and explain why the United States should NOT be involved in another foreign war.Finally, I discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and how it is connected to the Epstein files, and why I think Americans deserve greater transparency and accountability from those in power.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

This episode examines the systematic violations of Palestinian human rights and the international community's failure to hold Israel accountable for breaching its treaty obligations. Accountability is necessary for the documented crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution that Israeli authorities commit against millions of Palestinians, and the broader pattern of human rights abuses across Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. How do these violations persist despite clear international legal frameworks, and the devastating humanitarian consequences for Palestinian civilians who face displacement, restricted access to basic services, and ongoing threats to their survival? We analyze the international community's inconsistent response to these documented abuses and the urgent need for meaningful accountability mechanisms. Join host Sahar Aziz for this critical analysis of international law, state responsibility, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis facing millions of Palestinians. Our guest is Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, whose groundbreaking documentation of Israeli apartheid and persecution led to his deportation by the Israeli government in 2019. A Stanford Law graduate and former Fulbright Scholar, Shakir has dedicated his career to human rights advocacy, from representing Guantanamo detainees at the Center for Constitutional Rights to investigating the Rab'a massacre in Egypt. His comprehensive reports on crimes against humanity in Israel and Palestine have shaped international discourse on accountability and justice.   #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #ICC #HumanRights  BiographyOmar Shakir is the Executive Director of Democracy in the Arab World Now (DAWN), the organization founded by the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi that seeks to change US policy in the Middle East and hold human rights abusers in the region accountable. Prior to his current role, Omar served for nearly a decade as the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch. In that capacity, he spearheaded the organization's documentation of the genocide in Gaza and other atrocities across Israel/Palestine and authored several seminal reports, including a 213-page report documenting how Israeli authorities are committing the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians, the most widely covered and viewed report in the organization's history. Before that, he was a Bertha Fellow at the Center for Constitutional Rights, where he worked as part of legal teams that represented men detained at Guantanamo Bay, making frequent visits to the detention facility.Recommended ReadingsExtermination and Acts of Genocide, Human Rights Watch (2024)Hopeless, Starving, and Besieged, Human Rights Watch (2024)A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution, Human Rights Watch (2021)Support the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr

Ralph welcomes back his old running mate, Native American activist, Winona LaDuke, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices to talk about her latest incarnation: hemp farmer. Then, we'll speak to Hal Weitzman, from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, about how Elon Musk's feud with Delaware may transform corporate America. Plus, we tick off Robert Reich's ten policy prescriptions the Democratic Party should fight for to beat the GOP in the upcoming midterms.Winona LaDuke is an activist, economist, and author, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices. She is also a two-time vice-presidential candidate with Ralph Nader. Ms. LaDuke lives and works on the White Earth Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota, where she runs Winona's Hemp & Heritage Farm. She is also a member of the Indigenous Hemp & Cannabis Farmer's Cooperative.I'm looking first at seed sovereignty. We're growing [European hemp] varieties and then we're growing these feral hemp varieties. They're called feral varieties (which of course, that's something that I love) which means that when they eradicated hemp in the 1930s with the Marijuana Prohibition Act—well, they missed some spots. And those guys kept growing. And so 80 years of being illegal—isn't that great? Something that's illegal for 80 years is still with us, rocking out. And so I figure if you grew illegally for 80 years, you are really a tough hemp plant…And so we are growing out these hemp varieties and built a cooperative because we want to own the seeds and we want to own the technology (the value-added processing), and we want to use this hemp as a part of our future as tribes.Winona LaDukeMy grandsons are farming. I don't know who else can say their grandchildren are farming—let me know. My grandchildren are farming. They're running the horses. They're running the farms. You know, that's a retirement plan. My 401k will be worth nothing, but my grandchildren will feed me. This is my strategy.Winona LaDukeHal Weitzman is Executive Director for Intellectual Capital at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, editor-in-chief of Chicago Booth Review, and host of The Chicago Booth Review podcast. A former Financial Times editor and foreign correspondent, he is the author of Latin Lessons: How South America Stopped Listening to the United States and Started Prospering and What's the Matter with Delaware?: How the First State Has Favored the Rich, Powerful, and Criminal—and How It Costs Us All.There is a race to the bottom. There's been a race to the bottom for many decades. That's not new. I think it's accelerated somewhat. Delaware has joined that race from having been something of a “premium product” in terms of incorporating companies—Delaware has become a bit more “cut-price” I would say, and in that sense has followed Texas and Nevada. So the conclusion that we have a race to the bottom and it may be worse than Delaware—actually I think Delaware's already there. So it's not that it's getting worse outside of Delaware, it's getting worse including Delaware.Hal WeitzmanThe trend I think we're seeing is the exclusion of small shareholders completely—regardless of the status of your shares, this is about how big you are. And if you're a small shareholder there is no corporate democracy for you… It was practice in the past for activist groups, campaigning groups, to buy one share of a company and then to go to the shareholder meeting so they could make the point that they wanted to make. Now that kind of shareholder democracy is being encroached on. And the extent now is to say: unless you have a large position (regardless of the size of the company and the cost of the shares), you will not be allowed to bring suits against the executives for the correct running of the company.Hal WeitzmanNews 7/17/26* Our top story this week is New York Governor Kathy Hochul's decision to impose a one-year “pause” on the construction of AI data centers across the state. ABC7 reports that this is the first such moratorium in the nation, despite similar attempts in several states, most notably Maine where Governor Janet Mills vetoed a bill to this effect. Hochul argues that the pause is necessary so lawmakers and regulators can formulate “Guardrails to reduce the risk to our energy grid, minimize land disruption, noise pollution, and protect our natural resources, especially our water supply.” Hochul's move comes amidst a broader push against AI data centers from the left. Semafor reports Senator Bernie Sanders proposed a nationwide ban in March and many progressives running for state and local office in the midterms have made this a cornerstone of their campaigns. According to this piece, “In February, polling from Marquette Law School found 70% of all Wisconsinites agreeing that ‘the costs of the data centers outweigh the benefits.' Among Democrats, the number was 85%.”* Another progressive Member of Congress quite literally stepped into another hot-button political issue this week. While visiting a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank Wednesday, Al Jazeera reports armed settlers stopped the van of Representative Ro Khanna and were “later joined by Israeli soldiers who continued to block the road.” In a video, Khanna points out, settlers can be seen “brandishing M4s [rifles], kicking the tyres of our van, laughing at us, mocking at us, videotaping us.” This continued for over an hour and was only resolved when he reached out to the American Embassy, according to Khanna. Israel has responded to this fiasco by blaming Khanna, accusing the congressman of failing to coordinate his trip with the Israeli government; Khanna retorted that “The [Israeli military] is lying” and called for the arrest of the violent settlers. Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson excoriated U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, writing “An American member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman…It's too much, too insulting and humiliating to America.”* Following his return from occupied Palestine, Khanna again teamed up with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky to sponsor an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which would have removed the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” from the must-pass legislation. Responsible Statecraft describes the initiative as “an unprecedented integration of the U.S. and Israeli military industrial complexes,” by creating “an executive agent within the Department of Defense whose sole responsibility is furthering U.S. and Israeli military tech integration across nearly every facet of the defense process.” This article also notes that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described this shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship as ‘my plan.'” However, House leadership is not backing this commonsense, bipartisan amendment. In a letter, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he would vote against the amendment, calling it “overly broad” and claiming the amendment would “restrict our country's ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region who are sworn enemies of both the United States and Israel,” per the Times of Israel. However, Jeffries pledged not to whip votes against the amendment and indeed the House Minority Whip, Congresswoman Katherine Clark, voted for the amendment as did Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, despite the opposition of Jeffries and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar. The Congressional Progressive Caucus reportedly whipped votes in favor of the amendment.* In more Israel-related news, this week Marco Rubio – who serves as Secretary of State as well as the acting National Security Advisor – announced that the State Department will launch a “sweeping campaign to dismantle…the International Criminal Court.” CNN observes that “The administration's ire against the ICC goes back to President Donald Trump's first term, when it targeted the ICC for seeking to investigate alleged war crimes committed by US forces in Afghanistan,” and that since taking office for the second time, the Trump administration has “imposed a slew of sanctions against ICC officials for their attempts to investigate the US and Israel.” CNN also quotes a State Department official who said that top officials, including Secretary Rubio and US ambassadors, “are calling countries as part of a campaign to diplomatically isolate the International Criminal Court.” It is worth noting that “all American presidents since the ICC's ratification have maintained that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over Americans,” and that Congress even passed a law calling for an invasion and occupation of the Hague if any American serviceman was ever prosecuted by the ICC, implying that this crackdown on the court is not about American sovereignty at all but rather the prosecution of Israeli officials for their war crimes in Gaza.* In another stunning story starring Marco Rubio, the New York Times reports the Secretary of State is functionally “running Venezuela from afar.” The Times story characterizes Rubio's position as the “de facto viceroy of Venezuela,” effectively controlling the country's “finances, the distribution of its natural resources and its government.” This story makes clear that while Delcy Rodríguez, the former Vice President of Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro, nominally occupies the presidency, Rubio is the one really calling the shots, with Rubio setting the conditions on what Venezuela's export revenue “can be spent on, and by whom,” and having the authority to approve or deny key governmental appointments in the country, such as the minister of defense. In short, the United States has established a shocking explicitly neo-colonial regime in the country, fulfilling the gravest prognostications of anti-imperialist critics of American intervention in the Bolivarian Republic.* Closer to home, Bloomberg reports the federal government has officially launched a grand jury investigation into the United Auto Workers and the union's outspoken president, Shawn Fain. The investigation stems from accusations made by the union's Vice President, Rich Boyer, who alleged that Fain used his position to secure benefits for his fiancée and her sister – and when Boyer refused to approve the benefits, Fain retaliated by stripping Boyer of his duties as chief negotiator with Stellantis NV. Fain has called the allegations “false” and is accusing Boyer of seeking to influence the upcoming UAW leadership election. Fain also claims that Boyer is the one retaliating after Fain “refused the vice president's request to hire family members to positions in the union.” Fain has long maintained that the Justice Department, and specifically the DOJ-appointed monitor, Neil Barofsky, has a political grudge against him because “the UAW took an anti-war stance about what was happening in Gaza.” According to Bloomberg, “Both Fain and Boyer have slates running and each is accusing the other of attempting to abuse their positions to benefit family.”* This week, another victim of harassment by the federal government, student activist Mahmoud Khalil, filed a landmark civil rights suit alleging that the government conspired with a number of private groups – including the Heritage Foundation, Betar, and Canary Mission – to “suppress criticism of Israel through a coordinated campaign to dox, jail and ultimately deport student activists.” According to the lawsuit, said activists were “nearly automatically targeted by the Federal Defendants for arrest and removal.” Khalil's lawyers argue that this “public-private partnership” could violate the “Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law that sought to restrict government coordination with vigilante groups.” The suit is led by the Center for Constitutional Rights. The AP reports “Soon after his arrest, both Canary Mission and Betar boasted of their role in flagging Khalil's noncitizen status to the government.” Since Khalil's arrest, Betar has agreed to “dissolve its nonprofit status,” following a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James accusing Betar's members of harassing Palestinians.* Turning to the state level, this week 12 state attorneys general, led by California's Rob Bonta, filed an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance, controlled by the Trump-aligned David Ellison. The proposed, $110 billion merger was approved by the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department last month, which reached the dubious conclusion that the merger is “not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers.” In the filing, Bonta and the state AGs for Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Washington allege that the merger “would extinguish competition between Paramount and Warner Bros. and inflict substantial harm on movie theatres, basic cable distributors, and, ultimately, audiences nationwide.” This from Reason.* In the world of philanthropy, CNBC reports Warren Buffett, the billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has “excluded the Gates Foundation from his sizable annual charitable donations.” As this report notes, the Gates Foundation has been among the top recipients of his annual Berkshire donations, totaling $47 billion worth of Berkshire stock since 2006. The reason for the exclusion of the Gates Foundation has been much speculated upon, in particular, whether it was due to the recent revelations about Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Asked about this, Buffett said that he had “read a great deal…in terms of what happened, with Bill and Epstein,” calling their relationship “distasteful,” but also saying that he “found nothing in there that was beyond what [he] could picture [himself] doing.” Instead of the Gates Foundation, all of this year's donations will go to foundations linked to the Buffett family.* Finally, British multinational diamond conglomerate De Beers, famous for coining the “A Diamond is Forever” tagline in 1947, reported this week that they plan to halt work at their “flagship” Venetia mine in South Africa as demand for the stones wanes. The BBC highlights both slackening consumer demand as well as competition from lab-grown diamonds, particularly those produced in China. That said, the closing of the Venetia mine – the biggest in South Africa, accounting for over 40% of the country's diamond production – will send shockwaves through that country's already shaky economy. That mine alone employs more than 4,000 people, while the mining sector employs nearly half a million. De Beers said they plan to reopen the mine in two years; in the meantime, they are looking to expand copper mining to keep up with demand from AI data centers.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
