Codify and tie core beliefs to clear actions so your team can rally around a shared mission and truly perform.

Bex flips the script and puts Michelle in the hot seat. We get into the messy middle: pivoting from acting to construction to podcasting, the burnout that forced a reset, money honesty, why community matters, and how to build something you care about without losing your mind (or your keys).Key takeawaysYou don't need to burn it all down to pivot—build the bridge while you're still on it.Self-awareness is a double-edged sword; pair it with action and data, not doom-scroll metrics.Ask for help.

The world is ruled by an satanic cult of human haters. Their power derives from rituals, sacrifices, the blood of children and the manipulation of humanity through temptation and freewill. Every action we take that agrees with their ideology adds power to their cult. What we believe matters. What we do matters. What we say matters. Defiance is one of the central pillars of strength.

Interview: The Homicide Case of Harjinder Singh & FDOT Defiance of Delray Beach

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three martinis while repairs loudly continue on Jim's house. Today, they highlight Bed Bath & Beyond CEO Marcus Lemonis announcing why the company will not open any physical locations in California. They also react to the Trump White House starting its own TikTok account and banking executives revealing that the Obama and Biden administrations pressured them to "debank" businesses, groups, and individuals the administrations didn't like.First, they focus on Lemonis stating very clearly that his company will not open stores in California because the taxes and regulations there are too burdensome and make it far too difficult to make a profit, keep employment stable, and keep prices reasonable. This is another black eye for the disastrous tenure of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who clearly cares far more about his own ambitions than the people he was elected to serve.Next, they groan as the White House creates its own TikTok account. The move is unwise since the app is Chinese spyware. It's also a clear sign that Trump has no intention of enforcing the TikTok ban that became law last year and was upheld unanimously at the U.S. Supreme Court.Finally, they dig into allegations from multiple banking executives that the Obama and Biden administrations aggressively pressured banks to "debank" or deny financial services to businesses like gun manufacturers and other organizations and individuals they didn't like.

In honor of what would have been Marsha P. Johnson's 80th birthday, we're replaying this conversation with Tourmaline about her book “Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson.” In it, she shares what it took to piece together Marsha's story, from her early life in Times Square to her radical visions of freedom, spirituality, and care. She also unpacks Marsha's expansive political imagination, her collaboration with groups like the Black Panthers, and why telling the full truth about her legacy matters more than ever in the face of right-wing historical revisionism.

Gov. Bob Ferguson rejected threats from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to withhold federal funds if Washington does not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. At a Capitol press conference, Ferguson vowed the state “will not be bullied,” while Attorney General Nick Brown also warned of troubling ultimatums. The standoff centers on Washington's Keep Washington Working Act, which limits local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Bondi has threatened funding cuts and prosecutions, but Ferguson said if taken to court, “we will defeat you.” This report was first published by the Washington State Standard. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/wa-gov-ferguson-responds-to-bondi-letter-with-defiance/ #WashingtonState #BobFerguson #PamBondi #Immigration #SanctuaryPolicies #KeepWashingtonWorkingAct #NickBrown #FederalFunding #DOJ #TrumpAdministration

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Hilary Rantisi speaks with researcher Randa Wahbe about the Israeli policy and practice of holding Palestinian corpses as part of the broader Israeli regime of control over Palestinians. At present, Israel holds more than 740 Palestinian bodies. Randa describes this practice of control, which can be defined as "necropolitics" and/or "necroviolence,"  and which includes desecration of burial sites and cemeteries. She also describes Palestinian practices of defiance and dignity that aim to counter the impact that this particular form of violence has on Palestinian families and communities. FMEP initiated this conversation after FMEP's partner and friend Awdah Hathaleen was murdered on 7/28/25 by an Israeli settler who invaded Awdah's village, Umm al Khair in Masafer Yatta, and Israel then held Awdah's body, refusing to return it to his family for burial. Women in Umm al Khair, including Awdah's mother, widow, and extended family, launched a hunger strike to demand that Israel return his body for burial without conditions. 10 days after the murder, Israel returned Awdah's body and allowed his family to bury him. Read more about Awdah Hathaleen and the events surrounding his murder, Israel withholding his body, and his village's response here: "Awdah Hathaleen laid to rest after Israel withheld body for 10 days" (Oren Ziv, +972 Magazine, 8/7/25) and "Israel is holding Awdah Hathaleen's body. His killer roams freely through his village" (Sahar Vardi and Basel Adra, +972 Magazine, 8/5/25)  Also see this 2021 conversation FMEP hosted, "Palestinian Bodies Held Hostage by Israel," with human rights advocate & researcher Budour Hassan and Professor Noura Erakat about Israel's policy of holding hostage the bodies of slain Palestinians. This conversation drew on Israeli authorities holding the body of Ahmad Erekat, Noura's cousin.  Randa May Wahbe earned her PhD in anthropology from Harvard University. Her dissertation is titled “The Politics of Karameh: Palestinian Dignity and Defiance Against the Necrocarceral State” in which she investigates Israel's exploitation of the Palestinian dead. Randa currently works in movement advocacy to support progressive groups elevate their voices in the media and is an Adjunct Professor at University of San Francisco. Previously, she served as head of international advocacy for a leading human rights organization in Palestine that defends political prisoners rights, where she led global campaigns during hunger strikes and moments of escalating violence. Hilary Rantisi grew up in Palestine and has been involved with education and advocacy on the Middle East since her move to the US. She is a 2025 Fellow at FMEP and was most recently the Associate Director of the Religion, Conflict and Peace Initiative (RCPI) and co-instructor of Learning in Context: Narratives of Displacement and Belonging in Israel/Palestine at Harvard Divinity School. She has over two decades of experience in institution building at Harvard, having been the Director of the Middle East Initiative (MEI) at Harvard Kennedy School of Government prior to her current role. She has a BA in Political Science/International Studies from Aurora University and a master's degree in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Chicago. Before moving to the US, Hilary worked at Birzeit University and at the Jerusalem-based Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center. There, she co-edited a photo essay book Our Story: The Palestinians with the Rev. Naim Ateek. Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

For over thirty years, Adam Scott has been one of the most engaging, hilarious, versatile actors we have working today. Born in Santa Cruz, California, Scott, the son of two teachers and the youngest of three children, sent all of his schooling in The Golden State, as he was a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Post college, Scott started to get acting gigs in several feature films like Star Trek: First Contact, The Lesser Evil, High Crimes, and a notable supporting role in The Aviator, sharing scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio. At the same time, he had made a name for himself on the small screen with appearances on shows like Boy Meets World, Party of Five, and as a love interest on Six Feet Under. Growing up, Scott always dreamed of becoming either the next Al Pacino or David Letterman, becoming obsessed with Pacino as a beacon of acting for a generation as well with Letterman's obscure sense of humor tickling his funny bone. It's funny how life works out, because as Scott was making his mark in more dramatic work, the summer of 2008 changed his career forever when he starred in the latest comedy from director Adam McKay, Step Brothers, and without any improve skills to his resume, was able to land giant laughs opposite the biggest comedy star of the time, Will Ferrell. From this moment, things took off for Scott, as the following summer saw the release of the cult comedy television classic, Party Down, which followed a group of caterers in Los Angeles as they hope to make it in Hollywood. The show was cancelled after two seasons in 2010 (though it was brought back in 2023 for a third season), but as that door closed for Scott, another one opened with his role as Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation, a state auditor who slowly becomes the love interest for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). As a fan of the acclaimed NBC show, I can say that the best thing to happen to Parks and Recreation was the addition of Scott as Ben Wyatt, delivering one of the funniest characters on the show as well as one of the best television couples of the last twenty years. Since his time with the gang from Pawnee, Indiana, he's continued to showcase his range as an actor, with guest comedic spots on shows like The Good Place and Veep, was part of the ensemble for Big Little Lies, appeared in the sequel to Wet Hot American Summer, and even hosted comedic physical game show called Don't in 2020. But all of this work has lead him to the biggest role of his career so far as Mark on hit Apple TV+ drama, Severance. From the mind of creator Dan Erickson, Severance follows employeesat a mysterious company called Lumon Industries that have undergone a procedure known as “severance” to ensure that they have no memories to the outside world while they are at work, with no memory of their work life once they leave the building. This creates then the idea of an “innie” and “outie” personality within one's self, which would be dangerous if the worlds crosses, but that's exactly what happens to Mark at the end of season one, as he and his other colleges at Lumon briefly are able to bring their innie selves into the real world in their outie's body. The second season grapples with the repercussions of the rebellious Lumon employee's actions, as well as goes down various rabbit holes to show that the company that Mark works for is various dangerous as well as a deeper, personal connection to him that he could've ever known. It's riveting, thought-provoking, thrilling television that has slowly become the best show on television in large part to the excellent writing by Erickson, the inventive direction by Ben Stiller, and the incredible work by the show's massive ensemble, led by Scott, who in season two, not only gives the best performance of his career so far, but the best performance by any actor on television this year. In his glowing review of the season, our television editor Tyler Doster stated that Scott was “at his best this season,” finding “a new hunger” within his performance that grows this season as the mystery around Mark and the other characters begins to take shape. In my in-depth conversation with the Emmy nominated actor and producer, we discussed the anticipation of filming season two, the differences in playing Mark S. and Mark Scout, how trust is a key theme throughout the second season, and what it is like to be part of a global television phenomenon similar to The Twilight Zone and Lost; two shows that mean a lot to him and speak to the power of character forward storytelling. We also spoke about the dueling romantic relationships Mark finds himself in, what it is like working with co-stars Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman, the technical challenges of filming the camcorder and running sequences found in first and last episode of the season, as well as his versatility as a character actor; moving from drama to comedy, and how that helped him form who Mark is. In between all of this, Scott shared his favorite flavor of Gatorade, the need for bananas when performing stunts on set, his fondness for his time on his other beloved television series Party Down and Parks and Recreation, and why he loves the Fast and The Furious franchise. From comedy to drama to everything in between, Scott can do it all, and with Severance, he's showcasing a confidence of an actor who is destiny to continue to empty the tank until it's time to punch out his time card a long time from now. Adam Scott is Emmy-nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the episode "Cold Harbor" of Severance. Music: Severance, Opening Title Sequence: Season 2 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

“Encountered by Jesus” Matthew 8:28-34 August 17, 2025 Pastor Tony Felich    ----more---- Matthew 8:28 And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. [29] And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” [30] Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. [31] And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” [32] And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. [33] The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men. [34] And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region. An encounter with Jesus always brings about a response.           •  Defiance (28-32)           •  Deliverance (32)            •  Opposition (33-34)           •  Praise and testimony (Luke 8, Mark 5)

Because nothing sums up modern politics like turning your opponent into a martyr while also claiming he's an all-powerful dictator.So here's the real question: If Trump is so weak, so incompetent, so dangerously stupid… why are they so terrified of him?Can we all agree that the mugshot placed Trump back on the pedestal. He wasn't scared in that mugshot. He was DEFIANT.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Breaking free from childhood conditioning that equates speaking up with danger or rejection, this episode explores the transformative power of "healthy defiance" - a balanced approach to standing firm while maintaining respect for others and honoring your faith.When raised with unquestioned obedience, many Muslim women develop patterns that persist into adulthood: anxiety during minor disagreements, compulsive over-explaining, constant apologizing, and either complete withdrawal or defensive outbursts when faced with feedback. These are protective mechanisms developed early in life that no longer serve their purpose. Your racing heart during a routine workplace critique isn't weakness; it's your nervous system misinterpreting neutral situations as threats based on past experiences.Healthy defiance represents the middle path championed in Islamic tradition. Unlike reactivity driven by fear, it flows from self-respect and aligns perfectly with Quranic guidance to speak kindly (2:83) and argue in ways that are best (16:125). This episode offers practical approaches to rewiring your responses: increasing self-awareness of physical and mental reactions, challenging catastrophizing thoughts, and reframing criticism through faith. Remember that Allah's view of you transcends any human judgment, and standing up for truth honors the amanah (trust) He has placed in you regarding your wellbeing and dignity.Start small - express a preference when you'd normally stay silent, decline a minor request you lack capacity for, or calmly address disrespectful behavior. With each boundary you set and maintain, you collect evidence that healthy assertiveness is safe, gradually reclaiming your authentic voice. Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or finding yourself constantly defensive, this episode provides compassionate guidance for developing the untaught art of saying no while keeping faith at the center of your journey.=======================================================================================Wisdom Wednesdays is your chance to apply what you learn in this podcast.

Why do we follow orders or go along with things that feel wrong? Why might defiance be better than compliance? And how can we go about becoming more defiant?Episode SummaryI've always been fascinated by why people obey, even when it clashes with their instincts or values. In this conversation, I'm joined by Dr Sunita Sah — a physician-turned-organisational psychologist whose work explores the hidden social, cultural, and psychological forces behind compliance. Drawing from her research and personal journey, Sunita reframes defiance as alignment with our true values, not reckless rebellion. We unpack concepts like “insinuation anxiety” — the discomfort of signalling someone else might be wrong — and explore her five-stage model of defiance, from recognising tension to taking decisive action. Sunita explains why compliance is often mistaken for consent, why both have distinct definitions, and why many of us have never practised saying “no” skillfully. Along the way, she shares vivid examples from medicine, aviation, parenting, and history, including the calculated defiance of Rosa Parks. For leaders, Sunita offers a challenge: create environments where dissent is safe and effective, and treat defiance as valuable feedback. For all of us, she suggests starting small — practising low-stakes resistance to build our “defiance muscle.” Whether you're a rule-maker, rule-follower, or both, this episode invites you to rethink the stories you tell yourself about compliance, and to see saying “no” as a powerful tool for living with integrity. Guest Bio Self-Description:Dr Sunita Sah is a physician-turned-organisational psychologist and Professor of Management Studies at Cornell University. Her research examines the social, organisational, and psychological forces that influence decision-making, particularly in contexts involving authority, conflicts of interest, and ethical dilemmas. She is the author of Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes (US title: Defy: How to Speak Up When It Matters), a book that reframes defiance as a vital life skill. AI-Generated Timestamped Summary [00:00:00] Opening & why we obey even when it feels wrong[00:02:00] Sunita's career journey: medicine to organisational psychology[00:05:00] Personal experiences shaping her research[00:07:00] Redefining compliance vs. consent[00:10:00] The five elements of informed consent[00:11:00] Introducing “insinuation anxiety”[00:14:00] High-stakes and low-stakes examples of silence[00:18:00] Why people resist defiance — lack of skill and practice[00:20:00] New definition of defiance as value alignment[00:23:00] Tension as the first stage of defiance[00:25:00] Stage 3: asking clarification questions[00:27:00] Scripts for skilful defiance[00:30:00] Practising in low-stakes situations[00:33:00] Speaking up for others vs. for oneself[00:36:00] Defiance as a skill, not a personality[00:38:00] Calculating safety and effectiveness of defiance[00:41:00] Costs of compliance vs. costs of defiance[00:44:00] Clarifying values to lower stress and improve integrity[00:46:00] Leadership responsibility for safe dissent[00:48:00] Performative vs. genuine speak-up systems[00:50:00] Defiance as contagious behaviour[00:52:00] The role of mischief and playful resistance[00:56:00] Saying yes when the world expects no[00:58:00] Advice for compliance officers and leaders[01:00:00] Upcoming courses on defiance and decision-makingLinksSunita's website: https://www.sunitasah.comDefy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes — https://www.sunitasah.com/defySunita's Cornell University faculty profile — https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/faculty-research/faculty/sunitasah/

Defiance carries complex meanings in our tradition. While Islam emphasizes submission to Allah and respect for authority, it simultaneously commands us to stand firm for justice, even against ourselves or loved ones. This tension creates a profound question: when does saying "no" honor your faith rather than contradict it?Through exploring both Quranic guidance and prophetic teachings, we discover that healthy defiance, refusing what harms your spiritual, physical, or mental wellbeing...isn't just permitted but sometimes required.The challenge lies in discernment—distinguishing between ego-driven rebellion and principled resistance. When feeling pressured to conform, ask yourself: Does this please Allah? Does this protect my heart and body? Your answers illuminate the path forward.Join Now for Weekly Coachinghttps://www.islamiclifecoachschool.com/wisdom-wednesdays

In this fiery commentary, the host unpacks the cultural and political upheaval sparked by actress Sydney Sweeney's perceived defiance of Hollywood norms — from selling bathwater to being labeled a “Nazi” for registering Republican and appearing in a gun-friendly ad. The segment connects her controversy to broader accusations about the Human Rights Campaign acting as a cultural enforcer under Obama-era influence, likened to a social credit system for corporations. The focus then shifts to President Trump's ongoing struggle to confirm nominees, blaming not Democrats but establishment Republicans like John Thune for quietly sabotaging his agenda. A scathing breakdown of GOP leadership's unwillingness to cut government spending reveals internal sabotage masked as bipartisan compromise — a behind-the-scenes power struggle with massive consequences for the country.
