The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 04/19/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS In Florida, Suspected Race Soldier Phoenix Ikner is accused of opening fire at Tallahassee's Florida State University. He was taken into custody alive like most alleged White shooters. Importantly, Ikner's mother is a Leon County Deputy Sheriff and one of the firearms used in the attack may have belonged to his White mom. In Frisco, Texas, Karmelo Anthony's bond was reduced from $1,000,000 to $250,000, and he was released to house arrest with a number of restrictions by Judge Angela Tucker. Classified as a black female, Judge Tucker has been called a heap of Racist names and now has added security. All of this happened in time for April 19th #McVeighDay #WACO This weekend marks 30 years since the White Terrorist bombing of the Oklahoma City Alfred P. Murrah federal building, where 168 people were killed and hundreds more injured by a Racist Suspected born in the Buffalo, NY region. #SadeRobinson #TheTurnerDiaries #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 04/17/25. A number of non-white people have shared the increased stress and constant confusion they're experiencing in the workplace. Gus suspects this is widespread and encourages non-white people to spend a bit more time preparing for increased hostilities or discourtesy from White or non-white colleagues. We'll also review a report Gus stumbled upon that suggests people classified as black are more likely to discuss their religious views in the Workplace. 1) The strongest religion in the known universe is the Religion of White Supremacy. 2) Gus does not encourage discussing religious views (or Racism) in the workplace. While Race Soldiers have a long history of grooming non-white people to worship White Jesus, fishing for prayer circles and bible studies with co-workers likely won't earn you a raise. We heard a number of non-white people report their White colleagues griping about black entertainers' alleged sexual misdeeds - like the great Sean "P Diddy" Combs and Shawn "Jay Z" Carter. #NoPoliticsOnTheJob #CounterViolence #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Episode 109. In this episode, I (Kate Kavanaugh) reflect on my personal journey with movement from a practical and philosophical standpoint all while weaving it into some of the bigger themes that we've been exploring on the podcast around how we move resources to our bodies and how that itself changes our movement. I start out with some historical context of movement and resources, the impact of sedentarism on our bodies, and the concept of shifting baselines in understanding how our bodies work. I share my experience with chronic illness and how movement has been a source of strength and resilience and how I've navigated continuing to move even, and especially, when it feels really hard. This is about the transformative power of physical activity–mentally, physically, and socially. I talk about my movement why–including health, aging, enjoyment, and, yes, even vanity. I talk a little about my home gym, scaling movement, and some tips for making yourself move when it feels hard. It's a lot of fun, it's thoughtful, a little heavy at times, but we can carry the load together!Find Kate: Instagram: @kate_kavanaughSupport Kate: PatreonSubstackPayPal-Leave a One Time TipResources Mentioned:On Muscle: The Stuff that Moves Us and Why It Matters by Bonnie TsuiLizette PompaSteph Rose, Phase 6Ben BrunoKara Duval, RangeDr. Susie Spurlock, Supple StrengthBest of Movement Focused Episodes:Episode 94: An Ecology of Movement with Katy Bowman Episode 68: One Foot in Front of the Other with Kate KavanaughEpisode 77: Our Relationship to Resources with Kate KavanaughEpisode 54: Staying Human is the Greatest Skill with Daniel VitalisEpisode 22: Building Strength from the Inside Out with Ashleigh VanHoutenEpisode 2: The Strenuous Life with Ed RobersonSponsored By:REDMOND REAL SALT: Use code MINDBODYSOIL_15 for 15% off at

In this must-listen episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Retired FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill joins Professor Nick Giordano to break down the rising geopolitical instability around the globe. From the U.S. military's shifting posture toward Iran and the potential for miscalculation in the Middle East, to China's economic turbulence and Turkey's regional ambitions, Hill offers a seasoned intelligence perspective on what's unfolding behind the scenes. The conversation explores how the U.S. military's movements could escalate tensions across the broader Middle East, potentially drawing in multiple actors. They also discuss the failures of FBI and DOJ leadership, the urgent need to restore public trust through intelligence reform, and why downsizing bloated government agencies is essential to national security and efficiency. Episode Highlights: How military movements point to a growing U.S. focus on Iran's nuclear threat Why China's economic decline could trigger reckless global behavior The case for serious reforms at the FBI and DOJ after years of abuse and inaction

On this episode of the Rules of the Game podcast, the second installment of our eight-part series focusing on critical issues, we dive into the latest headlines shaping racial justice and immigrant rights. We'll explore how nonprofits can play a pivotal role in advocating for change through legislative, executive, and judicial channels. From raising awareness to securing funding for advocacy efforts, nonprofits across the nation are stepping up in the fight to protect our rights. This episode not only highlights their impactful work but also provides crucial insights into the rules and regulations that govern nonprofit advocacy in the ongoing struggle for racial justice and immigrant rights.   Attorneys for this episode  Monika Graham Brittany Hacker Quyen Tu    Current Events/EOs:     ·      Trump Administration Cuts Funding for Unaccompanied Immigrant Children, essentially terminating the UAC Program   o   UAC Program Responsibilities: §  Ensuring that the interests of the child are considered in decisions related to care and custody §  Ensuring, to the greatest extent practicable, that all unaccompanied alien children in custody have access to legal representation or counsel §  Releasing UAC to qualified sponsors and family members who are determined to be capable of providing for the child's physical and mental well-being o   The Fallout: §  Impacts the work of 100 plus legal service providers §  RAICES 199+ employees laid off §  Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston 101 employee layoffs §  Catholic Charities Tarrant County 169 employee layoffs §  Catholic Charities Houston/Dallas 180 employee layoffs §  Over 26, 000 children left without legal representation §  Immigration court backlog includes about 3.5 million cases ·      Attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion o   Trump's order to investigate around 350 philanthropic organizations holding combined assets of $900B due to their DEI programs. o    Funders' responses: Some have remained steadfast in their commitment, while others have backed down. o   Context to understand the broader tension: ·       A surge in commitment to racial equity following the murder of George Floyd by police in 2020. ·       SCOTUS ruling in June 2023: The Supreme Court deemed race-conscious admissions policies at Harvard and UNC unconstitutional in the Students for Fair Admissions case, effectively ending affirmative action in college admissions. ·       In response to SFFA, in August 2023, the American Alliance for Equal Rights sued Fearless Fund, alleging its grant program for Black female entrepreneurs was racially discriminatory. The 11th Circuit Court halted the program during litigation, and Fearless Fund settled in September 2024, ending the program. As a result, grants or contracts restricted to a specific race may now violate federal law. o   Government and private sector DEI offices and programs have shut down. o   Numerous lawsuits are pending, creating additional legal uncertainty. o   Chilling effect already unfolding, with widespread chaos and uncertainty.   ·      Executive Orders (10 in the first 7 days) o   Ended humanitarian parole for immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, forcing those legally allowed into the U.S. to leave. o   Attempt to end birthright citizenship. o    Ramp-up of deportations, expanding the list of individuals prioritized for removal. o   Paused the refugee resettlement program, capping it at the lowest level in 40 years. o   Ongoing challenges: Many policies have been paused or are currently being contested in the courts. o   Impact on individuals: Deportations of student visa holders detained by masked individuals, and the arrest of Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) based on their involvement in Free Palestine movements. o    Deportations to El Salvador without due process for immigrants alleged to be gang members—based solely on tattoos. o   Wrongful deportation: A Maryland man was deported to El Salvador despite a court order prohibiting his deportation. Authorities claim it was an administrative error, with no legitimate reason for his arrest, detention, or removal. Even DOJ lawyers have expressed confusion about why the administration isn't bringing him back, despite being ordered to return him by midnight tonight. o   Shocking incompetence: The lack of diligence and understanding of the human impact of these policies is alarming.         Advocacy ·      Executive Order Advocacy: o   501(c)(3) compliant, safe, nonpartisan, non-lobbying advocacy activity (keeping in mind that other federal, state, and local regulations may apply) o   Track and communicate EOs, assist immigrant communities in understanding their implications, and help prepare through targeted social media campaigns o   Develop a preparedness plan for potential ICE actions at your nonprofit, ensuring the safety and rights of those involved ·      Fund Advocacy: o   General support grants provide funding that is not earmarked for a particular purpose and can be used at the discretion of the recipient organization to advance their mission and cover operating costs.  o   Specific project grants: Private foundations must review the grantee's project budget and may award up to the non-lobbying portion. Funds must be used exclusively for the designated project. o   Note: Public foundations that have made the 501(h) election may follow the same general support and specific project grant rules that apply to private foundations, and these grants should not be considered a lobbying expenditure by the foundation, even if the recipient public charity spends the grant funds on lobbying ·      Public Awareness: o   Amplify the voices of unaccompanied children through powerful storytelling campaigns that humanize their experiences and bring attention to their plight. o   Conduct in-depth research on the impact of funding cuts, highlighting how these reductions are affecting the lives of vulnerable children, and share these findings publicly to increase awareness. o   Actively engage with your community by hosting events, discussions, or social media campaigns that educate the public on current issues surrounding unaccompanied immigrant children and provide actionable ways they can advocate for meaningful change. Lobbying  ·      Tax Code Lobbying 101: Public charities can engage in lobbying! Ensure you track and report all local, state, and federal lobbying activities while staying within legal limits. ·      Host a Lobbying Day: Organize a dedicated event, like AILA's National Day of Action, to mobilize supporters and advocate for critical issues. ·      Engage in Ballot Measure Work: Actively participate in ballot measures to influence public policy decisions at the local or state level. ·      Remember: o   State/local level lobbyist registration and reporting requirements may apply when engaging in legislative and executive branch advocacy. o   Ballot measure advocacy could implicate state/local campaign finance and election laws.        Resources ·      Race and Equity: The Advocacy Playbook for Racial Justice and Immigrant Rights  ·       The Impact of Government Funding Cuts on Unaccompanied Children and the Role of Nonprofits in Fighting Back ·      Public Charities Can Lobby ·      Practical Guidance: What Your Nonprofit Needs to Know About Lobbying in Your State ·      Investing in Change

In this episode of the Supporting Champions Podcast, I'm joined by author, journalist, and endurance expert Alex Hutchinson to discuss his latest book, The Explorer's Gene. This conversation dives into the why behind human exploration — what drives us to seek the unknown, how our genetics shape our urge to push boundaries, and what this means for athletes, adventurers, and everyday decision-makers alike. We explore the intersection of science, adventure, and personal growth, looking at everything from the dopamine receptor gene and novelty-seeking, to the hero's journey and the paradox of effort. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or someone curious about what makes humans tick, there's something here for you.

In today's episode, I take a close look at Meditations 3.15, which reads: “They have not learnt to know the manifold significance of theft, of sowing, of buying, resting, seeing what ought to be done. This depends not on the bodily eye but on another kind of vision.” Marcus is pointing us toward a crucial insight: context matters deeply. Nothing, not even theft or sowing, is always straightforwardly good or bad. I explore how Stoicism teaches us to see beyond the surface of actions and recognize that judgment requires more than a quick glance — it requires deeper vision. Through everyday examples like stealing food in desperate circumstances, or working late to avoid home responsibilities, I show how the same action can shift moral weight depending on the context. I also reflect personally, sharing my own journey as a new father and how my choices about health and fitness must now serve not just me, but my son and my role as a parent. Stoic practice calls for this kind of honest evaluation of our choices, moment by moment. Finally, I encourage you to examine your own judgments of yourself and others — are they fair, are they just, or are they lazy? Each day offers a new chance to try harder, to see more clearly, and to act more justly. MEDITATION “They have not learnt to know the manifold significance of theft, of sowing, of buying, resting, seeing what ought to be done. This depends not on the bodily eye but on another kind of vision.” — Meditations 3.15 THREE TAKEAWAYS — Context shapes moral judgment far more than surface appearances. — Actions like theft or work can be preferred, dispreferred, or neutral depending on the situation. — Daily, honest self-reflection helps us stay aligned with the Stoic pursuit of Virtue.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 459. In response to lots of froth on Twitter related to Jack Dorsey's call to "delete all IP law," which was echoed by Elon Musk (Musk and Dorsey: “delete all IP law”) I decided to attempt to host an impromptu Twitter Spaces about this. After overcoming some technical glitches, here is the result (and thanks to @Brunopbch, @NotGovernor (Patrick Smith), and @TrueAmPatriot86 for assists). I proposed to the space: "Fielding Questions About Abolishing Intellectual Property, about IP, and About Libertarian Property Rights", and that's basically what we ended up talking about. The Twitter spaces can be viewed here; I have clipped off the first 8 minutes or so of setup talk for this podcast episode. Grok summaries and shownotes and Youtube Transcript below. https://t.co/IHeVhPhlbs I'm going to do an impromptu Twitter space in an hour (2pm CST) to field any questions about the Libertarian Case Against Intellectual Property, in view of recent Twitter debates inspired by @jack Dorsey's and @elonmusk 's anti-IP comments,… — Stephan Kinsella (@NSKinsella) April 14, 2025 https://youtu.be/01FdFoB9QHY GROK HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY: Below is a concise summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY), divided into six parts, based on the provided transcript and informed by the linked post (https://c4sif.org/2025/04/musk-dorsey-delete-all-ip-law/). The video features Stephan Kinsella discussing the case for abolishing IP laws in a Twitter Spaces session. Summary in Six Parts 1. Introduction and Context (0:01–1:03) Kinsella opens the session, discussing technical setup and his recent online IP debates, sparked by figures like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, who advocate abolishing IP laws. 2. Addressing IP Objections (1:09–5:16) Kinsella invites questions and tackles a common concern: IP protects small creators from big corporations. He argues this is misguided, noting Musk and Dorsey's history of non-aggressive patent use (e.g., Tesla, Twitter), and challenges the assumption that creators deserve government-enforced rights. 3. Misconceptions and Debate Challenges (5:23–12:28) He debunks myths equating copying to theft or plagiarism, criticizing IP as anti-competitive. Kinsella laments Twitter's combative nature, where users avoid substantive dialogue, and shares his desire for recorded discussions to foster learning, citing past successes. 4. China and IP's Economic Impact (12:34–15:22) Responding to a question, Kinsella argues China's growth shows benefits of lax IP, as adopting Western technology isn't theft but learning. He critiques U.S. politicians for using “IP theft” to justify tariffs and impose Western IP laws globally. 5. IP vs. Property Rights and Innovation (15:48–38:02) Kinsella disputes claims that IP is a natural right, explaining ownership comes from first use or contract, not creation. Using Bitcoin as an example, he emphasizes secrecy over legal enforcement. He argues IP reduces innovation by granting monopolies, slowing progress for patent holders and competitors alike. 6. Corporate Power and IP's Decline (38:09–1:15:40) He asserts IP fuels corporate giants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, Microsoft), not small creators, inflating prices and harming consumers. Kinsella notes copyright's decline due to piracy and predicts technology (e.g., 3D printing) may render patents obsolete. He concludes that abolishing IP requires embracing uncertainty for justice, despite public fear of change. This summary condenses the video's key points into six sections, aligning with the principled and pragmatic arguments Kinsella makes, while reflecting Musk and Dorsey's anti-IP stance from the linked post. Let me know if you need further refinement! GROK DETAILED SUMMARY: Below is a summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY),

We're talking about the different facets to consider when structuring your organization. We covered the first facet - Function - which should be considered on the spectrum of autonomy and control. An organization needs functions who have autonomy to build, and functions who protect what is built by maintaining control. And we covered the second facet - Context - which should be considered on the spectrum of today and the future, specifically today, tomorrow, and the future. An organization must meet the needs of today, while preparing for tomorrow, and keeping the future in perspective. We have 4 more facets to consider.

Learning vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are obviously difficult tasks, but I think something else can be just as challenging. Context and culture. Words and grammar are not the only way that we communicate. The world isn't always direct and clear. In fact, some cultures and parts of the world rely extensively on context to communicate meanings. Today, we are going to discuss culture and context in language learning. We'll discuss low-context cultures, high-context cultures, and how this affects English learning and English usage!

At least one report indicated White coworkers disparaged a black couple for going out to enjoy a "lunch date." This sort of unprovoked, vindictive Racism is widespread on the job. It's as though Racists hate seeing non-white people attempt to be constructive and affectionate with other non-white people (all their hard work for nothing). AND Racist love to gossip and pry into all the details of their non-white coworkers' lives. A brief visit from a care mate can provide the perfect opportunity for your White colleagues to pepper your partner 20 (or 200) questions. We also hear more illustrations of anti-blackness in the workplace and examples of black people being encouraged to discuss Racism publicly while on the job. This is generally not the best idea. #NoPoliticsOnTheJob #10Stop #MinimizeConflict #TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In this solo episode, I wanted to share some real talk. Context matters. Whether talking about health, science, or the people we follow for guidance, it's easy to get swept up in headlines, credentials, or even a few well-spoken soundbites. But beneath the surface, we have to ask better questions. Who's funding the research? What patterns show up over time in someone's stance? What are the biases and motives? I share some tools I personally use when evaluating health info (or really, anything): assessing character, noticing patterns over time, and sometimes, simply trusting my gut. My hope is that this episode empowers you to be both curious and cautious, confident yet open-minded, and above all, grounded in your own values as you navigate your health journey.IntroContext matters with Dr. Peter McculloughCritical thinking matters (don't blindly follow)Beyond the headlinesLongevity of a person's stanceCharacter and motiveBias in the sourcePhone a friendTrust your gutSome of my 23.5 hours in a day Bonus: "Vitamin A, baaaaad"_____EPISODE RESOURCES1) Germ vs. Terrain Theory: here, here, and here.2) Dr. Peter McCullough's Pharma Payments3) Dr. Peter McCullough's Interview4) Tuft's Compass Guide Article_____WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
