️ New Episode of Black Talk Radio News: "UnitedHealth Lawsuit Exposes the Cruelty of For-Profit Healthcare" Hosted by Scotty Reid | Black Talk Media Project In this episode, Scotty Reid breaks down the latest class action lawsuit filed by investors against UnitedHealth Group—the largest health insurer in the U.S.—and exposes the deeper issue that corporate media won't touch: the devastating harm of America's for-profit healthcare system. As investors cry over lost billions, millions of Americans suffer without adequate care. Scotty compares this capitalist healthcare nightmare with more humane, publicly funded models in countries like Cuba and China—where health is treated as a human right, not a business opportunity.

In this episode of Keep it Humane: The Podcast, we're exploring how smart, evidence-based giving can bridge the gap between farmed animals and the animals we see every day in our shelters. We sit down with the team from Farmkind.Giving, an organization that uses rigorous research to recommend top animal charities—ensuring that every donation goes to the most effective organizations.We'll learn how Farmkind.Giving's meticulous approach to charity evaluation mirrors the life-saving work animal shelters do every day—stretching limited resources, saving lives, and making every dollar count. From using Animal Charity Evaluators' in-depth research to collaborating with expert grantmakers, Farmkind.Giving helps donors maximize their impact, just like shelters aim to do for every animal in their care.Plus, we'll discuss their innovative Compassion Calculator—a unique tool that empowers anyone to “offset” the harm caused by factory farming, no diet change required. Just like animal shelters provide resources and support for our communities, Farmkind.Giving's approach to giving helps farmed animals and creates a kinder world for all.Tune in to discover how these lessons in smart giving can inspire animal shelter professionals, volunteers, and advocates to rethink how we can all do more good—together.

In a span of a week, the news reported the horrific deaths of two beloved community cats in Singapore, and upon further inspection, it is due to the gruesome abuse and harm that was inflicted upon them. Earlier this year, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals called for stronger animal protection laws and enforcement as the number of confirmed reports of animal cruelty and welfare concerns hit a 12-year high, with reports stating over 2,000 animals being victims, with 60.7% of them being cats. On The Hot Seat, Hongbing Jeong speaks to James Gomez, Senior Associate at Edmond Pereira Law Corporation and Kalaivanan Balakrishnan, CEO of Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES), in order to find out if Singapore's laws is sufficient to protect stray animals from abuse or do Singaporeans have a moral responsibility to do so?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the pop culture you loved growing up was quietly teaching you to shrink, perform and turn on other women? In this episode, Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist Sophie Gilbert joins me to revisit the legacy of the 90s and 2000s — a time that likely shaped how you see yourself & other women. We talk about the toxic version of ‘empowerment' that dominated the era, why so many of us still feel stuck in competition mode and how we can start untangling the stories we were sold.

Cruelty is never far away from some homes - some people suffer largely in silence, and when that cruelty begins to show, they will come out with allsorts of reasoning. 'I fell. I bumped into this or that'.It's a very real thing is domestic violence, and the tale I bring this time around shows it isn't always the archetypal abuser that is commonly perceived. Sometimes, sadly, it ends in utter horror and tragedy.The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

Alene Anello of Legal Impact for Chickens joins us once again, this time to talk, not about chickens, but about cows.

For that reason,…

This week on Trailblazing Justice, we pull back the curtain on America's immigration system — and it's not what most people think. Our special guest, Erin McKee, from the Immigrant Rights Project, joins us to unpack how Oregon's sanctuary laws actually keep everyone safer, and why the federal government has virtually unchecked power over noncitizens (Erin helps us by wading through the vernacular of immigration law!). We also break down the alarming national shifts—from ancient laws being dusted off to threats against birthright citizenship—and why ignoring these moves now could open the door to civil rights erosion for everyone. Spoiler: this isn't just about immigration anymore.The Trail Blazing Justice podcast is a production of the Oregon Justice Resource Center.

In this fiery episode, Tara exposes the hypocrisy of Democrats slamming Trump for reinstating student loan payments—when he's simply following Supreme Court orders Biden defied. But that's just the beginning. She then unpacks Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell release of Biden's classified 2021 domestic terrorism plan, revealing how the government surveilled and targeted Americans for “concerning noncriminal behavior”—including hashtags, flags, and religious beliefs. From debanking conservatives to FBI surveillance at school board meetings, this is a chilling look at a censorship regime gone rogue—all while actual criminals like MS-13 gang members were let go.

Once a symbol of dystopian nightmares, these words now echo in schools, hospitals, and homes: targeting immigrants first, and the rest of us next…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the Supreme Court weighs in on the president's use of the Alien Enemies Act, Mary and Andrew approach this week's developments with both concern and relief. While relieved at the unanimity of the High Court's belief that due process is a necessity, the concern lies with the Trump administration's response to a court order directing them to arrange the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. They also see cause for alarm after the government retaliated against their own lawyer in this case. Andrew and Mary then take a beat to spotlight the DC circuit upholding a judge's decision related to scope of Trump's J6 pardons. And before closing out this week's episode, they detail the lawsuit brought by the conservative leaning NCLA over the constitutionality of the sweeping tariffs the president has announced.Further reading: This is Mary's recent op Ed in the Washington Post: The White House war on Big Law hits some speed bumpsAnd please vote for your favorite MSNBC podcasts in this year's Webby Awards:Prosecuting Donald Trump in the Podcasts - Crime & Justice category: VOTE HEREWhy Is This Happening?

In this episode, we're joined by representatives from the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) to dive into their highly anticipated State Rankings Report, a comprehensive annual review of how each U.S. state protects—or fails to protect—animals through its laws. We break down the top-performing states, the ones falling behind, and what these rankings really mean for the animals, the public, and the professionals enforcing the laws.From felony penalties and mandatory reporting to courtroom victories and legislative gaps, ALDF walks us through the trends, wins, and challenges they're seeing across the country. Whether you're an animal control officer, shelter leader, advocate, or policymaker, this conversation sheds light on where progress is being made—and where urgent change is still needed.

In many schools today, students hesitate to give class presentations — not because of stage fright, but because they're afraid of being secretly recorded and mocked on social media. Principals across the country are spending their time managing the aftermath of incidents sparked by viral trends like “Ship or Dip” posts. Physical altercations between students are often filmed by bystanders and shared online, amplifying the harm. In this episode, Dr. Ruston visits a middle school in Washington State and sits down with Principal Zach to explore what happened when phones were allowed on campus — and how things changed dramatically once new policies were put in place. Zach shares the powerful transformation his school has experienced, and how restorative practices are helping students learn healthier ways to resolve conflict.

After breaking a two-month ceasefire, Israel launched an assault on Gaza on Tuesday, killing more than 400 people in pre-dawn strikes. The death toll continues to climb as airstrikes persist, and Israel pushes forward with a ground invasion. At least 200 children have been killed in recent attacks, according to UNICEF. The assault — the deadliest in over a year — came after Donald Trump gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the green light to break the ceasefire. Netanyahu has warned, “This is only the beginning.” Author Pankaj Mishra argues Israel operates within a “culture of impunity,” emboldened by global far-right movements that admire Israel's “brazen cruelty.”This week on The Intercept Briefing, reporter Jonah Valdez speaks to Mishra about his latest book, "The World After Gaza,” which examines how the war on Gaza isn't just another conflict — it's a turning point reshaping global politics, exposing institutional failures, and forcing a reckoning over who sets the rules on the world stage.“Some of the worst people in the world today are drawn to Israel," Mishra says. “Not because they believe in Zionism, not because they are protective of Jewish population of Israel, but because Israel again represents to them — embodies this opportunity to take whatever you can and hold on to it using extreme violence if necessary.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

We've all heard of virtue signaling -- when people make a big show – a sometimes cringe-inducing show – of their moral values, their progressivism, their empathy. The right-wing loves to mock it, and MAGA is taking things a step further...with vice signaling. Instead of working to show people how good they are, MAGA decides to show people just how awful they can be. Is this working? Tune in for Don's take! Learn more about your ad choices.

The episode examines plans for mass deportation, including proposals involving military contractors and private mercenaries. Additionally, the hosts scrutinize the moral and ethical values underpinning these policies, comparing them to historical practices in Russia under Vladimir Putin. .Linktree: https://linktr.ee/StraightWhiteJC Order Brad's book: https://bookshop.org/a/95982/9781506482163 Check out BetterHelp and use my code SWA for a great deal: www.betterhelp.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The White House is defunding USAID, one of the largest distributors of foreign aid, and blaming it on wasteful spending—like a D.E.I musical in Ireland. But as Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn unpack, the real losers are Christian relief organizations like World Relief and Catholic Charities, which now face devastating budget cuts. Then, it's been over 20 years since the release of Blue Like Jazz, the bestselling book that made faith feel cool. Did it offer a helpful critique of evangelicalism, or was this the beginning of the rise of vibes-based Christianity? Also, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat joins Skye to discuss his new book, Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious. He explains why our increasingly secular culture is still drawn to spirituality and why rejecting religious institutions in favor of “DIY faith” may not be the answer. Plus, we have a trailer for a new season of Why I'm Still a Christian.
