A quiet bird can't be shot. A hidden fish can't be netted. A calm suspect cannot be tagged and fed into the system. This is older than any badge or slogan. Force survives by flushing what hides, tagging what flushes, and feeding on what shows itself. Everything else is theater.Any enforcement system needs visible prey. No visible crime or defiance means the budget shrinks and the dogs stay in the kennel. But a pond stocked with performative rage and careless bravado keeps the hunters fed. That's why the same body cam footage repeats the same lesson: the people who flap their wings keep the machine alive.The Matrix gave us the allegory. There, human bodies power the system. Here, it's your behavior. Every unnecessary word, every challenge posed like a dare, every “What did I do?” shouted when silence would have served you better — that's the charge that lights the trap. It doesn't matter if you're a billionaire's daughter in a Range Rover or a kid with no shoes — once you flap, you're visible.It always begins small. A broken taillight. An expired sticker. If you stay calm, polite, and small, you slip back into the brush. But if you puff up, if you make it about pride, the dogs come closer. The stop becomes a search. The search becomes resisting arrest. A fine that could have cost you an hour now stains your record for life.Many believe status will protect them. They believe the net knows bloodlines. But when the shark's eye goes blind, everything moving is meat. The dash cams prove it daily — a bored princess can be chewed up as easily as a trap baddie when they run their mouth.This cycle isn't accidental. Even the slogans that claim resistance — “F*** the police,” “Defy or you're a bootlicker” — keep the pond stocked. The system doesn't need you to win; it needs you to flap enough to be worth catching.The hardest truth is that once you're in the net, you're not solving a logic puzzle — you're rolling dice you can't control. Gun owners know this: never draw unless you must, because you can do everything right and still lose the roll. One angle of video, one DA looking to make a name, one jury with a grudge — that's all it takes.No trap is fair. It is not cowardice to stay small. It is not betrayal to comply. It's survival in a world run on force. Obscurity is the shield. Defiance is the bait. The machine does not care who you are. It cares only that you're big enough to catch.When the net tightens, stay small. When the dogs flush the bush, stay still. Pride feeds the trap. The bird that never flaps is the one that lives.

In this video I break down how the recent Supreme Court 9-0 unanimous decision is now impacting a states rifle ban!

In these two explosive segments, the hosts break down the high-stakes political and economic battles defining Trump's presidency. First, they explore the “Big Beautiful Bill,” packed with sweeping measures—100% immediate expensing for factory construction, doubling health savings accounts, and $70 billion for deportations—that promise economic revival but carry the risk of record-breaking debt and runaway inflation if Trump can't sustain 3% growth. Next, they tackle the crisis at the southern border, as a Democrat-appointed judge defies the Supreme Court to order the reopening of asylum entry, potentially inviting cartel criminals back into the country. Alongside surging ICE attacks and political pressure, the show also dives into the curious connections tying the prosecution of Diddy to the Comey family and their history of secretive investigations. From judicial overreach to economic brinkmanship, these episodes lay bare the clashes reshaping America's future.

As Democrats accuse Trump of dictatorship, the hosts lay out how liberal judges are the ones defying constitutional boundaries—issuing nationwide injunctions the Supreme Court has already ruled illegal. This segment breaks down the Obama-appointed judge's unprecedented order to reinstate catch-and-release and reopen the southern border, effectively inviting hundreds of thousands of deported criminals to return. The hosts explain how this ruling defies asylum law, undermines border security gains, and is likely designed to provoke Trump into defying the courts so the left can brand him an authoritarian. They argue the endgame is headline warfare, intimidation of ICE agents, and a deliberate constitutional crisis to stop enforcement of immigration law.

This Best of Summer episode is for every autism mom who's ever found herself locked in a battle of wills with her child—especially during the tween, teen, or young adult years.In this honest and solution-focused conversation, Shannon dives into what's really behind those power struggles, resistance, and seemingly defiant behaviors. She shares why arguments escalate, how to recognize red herrings (those sneaky distractions that derail progress), and what to do instead.You'll walk away with strategies to create calm, reduce conflict, and set boundaries that actually stick—all while staying grounded and connected to your child.Whether your child slams doors, talks back, or pushes every single boundary—this episode will help you bring peace to your parenting and power to your presence.Tune in to learn how to navigate defiance with confidence and build a more peaceful home environment.

Reframing Media Narratives for Queer and Trans Liberation with Marsha P Johnson's Story.  How Artists and Activists Are Reframing Media Narratives for Queer Liberation.SAVE THE DATE July 16th 7pm EDT:  Laura hosts an online conversation just for our donors. It's a chance to connect, ask questions, and hear what's coming up behind the scenes. Make a one off donation or become a sustaining member by making it monthly go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Episode Description: Activist and artist Marsha P. Johnson was one of the key founders of the gay liberation movement after the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, but it's taken years for her to receive recognition. On this special Pride Month edition of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, we're celebrating Marsha's life and legacy with two activists carrying her story forward. A new biography from Penguin House, “Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson” by our guest, Tourmaline traces Marsha's working-class beginnings to her work with sex workers and street activists, to her death in 1992. Qween Jean is a self-described “spiritual daughter” of Marsha and the founder of Black Trans Liberation. Explore how mainstream media coverage once excluded Marsha, and what's changed since then. We also unpack the media's coverage of transphobia and the recent ruling from Tennessee that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. In the face of extreme backlash and repression, how are artists and activists reframing media narratives for queer and trans liberation?“A lot of trans and queer people, especially here in New York City, that are asylum seekers that have had to leave other countries from persecution now find themselves in a place of purgatory . . . They can't even go to get a hormone shot because they're afraid. What if ICE is literally outside waiting for us?” - Qween Jean“Marsha knew that these conditions didn't get to determine how she felt about herself. No court, no Supreme Court, no police officer, no governor, no president . . . She was creating the conditions to remind herself and each other that we too get to feel beautiful and know our value firmly.” - TourmalineGuests:•  Qween Jean: Founder, Black Trans Liberation; Human Rights Activist & Costume Designer•  Tourmaline: Artist; Author, MARSHA: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P.

“My definition of defiance is being able to act in alignment with your values, especially when there's pressure to do otherwise. It's not just for the brave people, extraordinary people, superheroes. It's available and it's necessary for all of us to really learn this skill."Dr. Sunita Sah is a physician turned organizational psychologist whose research has reshaped how we think about advice, bias, and trust in some of the most high-stakes environments—from hospitals to courtrooms to boardrooms and beyond.

“We hope that this trail race shows that it is possible to welcome new people to the sport, that trail running doesn't have to be rooted in white culture, that we can show up as our authentic selves.” - Alison DesirThis is a special episode that is near and dear to our hearts, as we got to not only record a live show with our friends, but also be a part of the inaugural trail festival, We Out Here, that was specifically centered on and powered by the BIPOC community!Our conversation is on the topic of DEFIANCE, as defined by professor and author, Dr. Sunita Sah: to defy is to act in accordance to one's values when there's pressure to do otherwise. With this definition, a trail event specifically designed for BIPOC athletes is in itself an act of defiance against the status quo, expectations, and gate-keeping around the sport, and of course, the ways that each of us show up in our various spheres each day are also daily acts of defiance in a world that expects (and often demands) our compliance. We truly hope this conversation resonates and speaks to you in many ways. #Keepshowingup in your various spheres of influence, and keep making strides in being the change we wish to see!Special thanks to our Audio Engineer, ⁠⁠Mark Kalagayan⁠⁠, from the non-profit, ⁠⁠SPARC Worldwide⁠⁠.The Making Strides Podcast is about building representation and about changing the ways we expect ourselves and others to show up in the running world.

This month's two plays: The Guitarrón by Lynne Alvarez & The Girls from the Five and Ten (Les filles du 5-10-15) by Abla FarhoudIf you're looking for the hot queer drama and dreamy magical realism of Angels in America set against the beaches of Veracruz… look no further than The Guitarrón by Lynne Alvarez. During a cataclysmic fishing drought, six members of the local village fight to find their way out. Underscored by a mysterious cellist with a mesmerizing instrument, in this play each member of the community tries to save the ones they love while navigating the transactional nature of their own relationships. A story about the drought in our souls when the cruelty of reality keeps us from the seas of our dreams, The Guitarrón would be a fabulous addition to any season.If you're looking for the darkly vulnerable drama of Suburbia told through the lens of two sisters… The Girls from the Five and Ten gets to the heart of what it means to be overlooked as an immigrant in a new country. Trapped in their father's variety shop with never-ending work and rude customers, Sisters Amira and Kaokab sacrifice their personal lives in the hopes of someday selling the store and returning to Lebanon. But as their escape seems further and further away each day, the two must decide whether their dream of going home is actually worth the cost. Defiance, sisterhood, rebellion, and oppression are all at the forefront of Farhoud's heartbreakingly tender sister story.Hosted by Skye Pagon and Kalina KoSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/this-is-a-classic-the-expand-the-canon-theatre-podcast/donations

Today we are joined by the Founder of LGBTQ Outdoors, Justin Yoder, as we tell the story of Marsha P. Johnson and the Stonewall Uprising.  In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall Inn ignited a rebellion that would change history. The Stonewall Uprising became the catalyst to a nationwide LGBTQ rights movement.  At the heart of this moment was Marsha P. Johnson, a Black trans activist, drag queen, and revolutionary who became a symbol of resilience and joy in the face of injustice.

Kyle Olson from The Midwesterner exposes the dark underbelly of the so-called “No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” protests spreading across Michigan and the country. They reveal the radical groups behind the chaos—including Indivisible and the Party for Socialism and Liberation—and connect the dots to a broader Marxist revolution aimed at flipping Senate seats in 2026. The conversation also takes a sharp turn into national security concerns, with growing scrutiny on Chinese students at the University of Michigan linked to espionage, smuggling, and election interference. Olson warns this is just the tip of the iceberg, with CCP infiltration hiding in plain sight at top American universities.Get the stories from today's show in THE STACK: https://justinbarclay.comKirk Elliott PHD - FREE consultation on wealth conservation - http://GoldWithJustin.comJoin Justin in the MAHA revolution - http://HealthWithJustin.comTry Cue Streaming for just $2 / day and help support the good guys https://justinbarclay.com/cueUp to 80% OFF!

Immigration advocates and union representatives rallied in downtown Pittsburgh this week. Demonstrators were showing solidarity with those in Los Angeles, by protesting the deportation of immigrants. The Pennsylvania state House has voted to raise the minimum wage on a county-by-county basis. We explain how the plan would work. More than 400 young people in Pittsburgh are being dropped from a federal program that provides free job training and education. Many youth are unsure of their next moves. Coyotes, foxes and crows are already fair game for Pennsylvania hunters on Sundays. But hunters may soon be allowed to chase deer, turkey and bear on all in-season Sundays as well. State Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding stopped at the Waltz Estate and Winery and Family Farm in Manheim, Lancaster County earlier this week. He announced an investment of over $224,000 in Agriculture Promotion Grants. Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend, including dozens of locations across Pennsylvania. Rallies are set for Harrisburg, Lancaster, Carlisle, York, Gettysburg and Chambersburg. The No Kings Day of Defiance protests will happen during the military parade in Washington on Saturday for the Army’s 250th anniversary — which coincides with Trump’s birthday. And the Pennsylvania state House is pondering a bill that would ban the use of artificial intelligence in political campaign ads. Lawmakers say AI-generated images or videos could undermine the integrity of elections, if the technology is used to misrepresent candidates.

Stu Burguiere breaks down a video from the Associated Press touting the benefits of a planet-friendly diet. The problem? Even if everyone on earth followed the advice, it would have precisely ZERO effect on the planet. Then, school choice evangelist Corey DeAngelis joins to reveal who's behind the upcoming Day of Defiance protests. And Stu reacts to the news that Pope Leo is holding a virtual address in Chicago on the same day as a planned celebration for the military's 250th birthday.

In hour 1, protests have began in the Saint Louis area, but they have been only peaceful so far. However, we are expecting protests to get less peaceful over the weekend. We also hear today's national anthem from Carrie Underwood! Marc & Kim dive into the biggest stories of the day in The Shortlist, as well as discussing the fact that these protestors have some sort of funding to put them where they're at. What does AI mean? The FDA is using AI in a new way, but is facing some pushback from employees as well as the community. The FDA assures the community that this is something that will be a good thing. There has been an ongoing issue in the Francis Howell school district. A female student is scared to use the bathroom because a biological male is using the restroom. How is this allowed? In hour 2, the 'no kings' protest has been given a new nickname. They are calling it "the National Day of Defiance." Marc & Kim dive into the biggest stories of the day in The Shortlist. Law enforcement continue to be attacked in Los Angeles, but a fed-up citizen has had enough and decides to stand up to one of them. Tom Ackerman, KMOX Sports Director, joins the show to discuss Cardinals baseball, Rams allocation money for renovations at the dome and curiosity if the Battlehawks and UFL will be able to survive after this season. An unusual car chase has taken place involving a tractor. Most people enjoy sleeping with their dogs, but how well do you sleep when your pet sleeps in your bed with you? In hour 3, Marc & Kim dive into the biggest stories of the day in The Shortlist, as well as interviews and soundbites that have been pulled from the protests. Jim Talent, former U.S. Senator, joins the show to discuss Iran attempting to grow their nuclear arsenal. Non-essential employees have been advised to leave the country, which suggests something might be brewing from the U.S. or Israel. The Kansas City stadium bill passed with flying colors and a 32-vote margin. The bill now lands on Governor Kehoe's desk for it to be passed and put into law. The new trend when celebrities win an award, is for them to call out the injustice of the country and of President Trump instead of thanking people and their fans. Trump and Vance went to a show at the Kennedy Center last night, and it had some actors protesting the performance. In hour 4, Jen Olson joins the show to discuss the current ruling in Blue Springs where a student sued for being discriminated against when using the women's bathroom as a biological male. She also discusses the current problem that arose in the Francis Howell School District. Shannon Bream, host of Fox News Sunday, joins the show to discuss the incompetence of Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, as well as the big beautiful bill. Griff Jenkins, Washington-based correspondent for Fox News Channel, joins the show to discuss a Democratic hearing that he is about to attend on Capitol Hill. Governor Ron DeSantis refreshes a law stating that you can drive through violent protests if they are posing your threat to you. If you are going somewhere important, such as a hospital, and the protestors are blocking the highway, what would you do to ensure you get where you need to go.

Los Angeles has erupted in violent riots masquerading as protests, and they're coming to the rest of the United States on June 14th. What is being called the Nationwide Day of Defiance is nothing short of a violent riot against peaceful American citizens, all in the name of anti-ICE and anti-Trump sentiments. We will be digging into what exactly is going on and what is to come in the coming days. All this and more on today's Untamed.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor, Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, and Assistant United States Attorney in the SDNY. Nick is a sharp critic of Trump's abuses of power, and together we unravel his shady international money deals, his dodgy crypto scheme, and the billion-dollar real estate hustle with foreign investors. We also unpack how Trump's executive orders and the new “Big Beautiful Bill” threaten to permanently shred checks and balances, turning the executive branch into a personal tool of authoritarian power.

When it comes to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), much of the focus is often placed on data collection, program goals, and measurable outcomes for the child. But what about the parents? Supporting caregivers is a critical, and sometimes overlooked, component of effective ABA services. In a recent podcast episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Valencia Harper, a seasoned clinician from Apollo Behavior, to talk about her thoughtful approach to working with families. Long-time listeners may remember Valencia from our Apollo Case Study Series, where she and her colleagues discussed mentoring new practitioners. This time around, we shifted gears to focus on her insights into caregiver collaboration—and the conversation did not disappoint. From Smoothies to Strategy: Valencia's Journey Valencia opened up about her own career beginnings, including a memorable (and messy) first day involving a smoothie spill. That moment, though humbling, marked the start of a journey that led her to become the confident and effective BCBA she is today. Through years of experience, she has developed a deep appreciation for the unique challenges parents face—and a toolkit for meeting them with empathy, clarity, and respect. What Parents Really Need from ABA Providers Throughout the episode, Valencia shared key insights into how BCBAs can better support the families they serve. Here are a few highlights from our discussion: 1. Listening Builds Rapport Rather than jumping into solutions, Valencia emphasizes the power of active listening. Parents often come to the table with a wealth of experience and emotion. Taking time to truly hear them builds trust and sets the tone for collaboration. 2. BCBAs Don't Have to Know Everything It can be tempting to feel like we have to have all the answers. But Valencia reminds us that being transparent about what we don't know—while showing a commitment to learning—can strengthen relationships rather than weaken them. 3. Prioritize Parental Concerns Instead of sticking strictly to what the data says, Valencia encourages clinicians to take parent priorities seriously. If bedtime battles or sibling conflicts are top of mind for the family, addressing those concerns can lead to more engagement and faster progress. 4. Clarify ABA Jargon Parents may struggle with technical terms or misunderstand the purpose of certain procedures. Valencia discusses how breaking things down into digestible language helps reduce frustration and builds empowerment. 5. Combat Learned Helplessness Some caregivers come into services feeling defeated or disconnected. Valencia talks about how to gently challenge that mindset and offer small, achievable strategies that rebuild parental confidence. 6. Teach How to Set Limits Supporting families doesn't stop with behavior plans. Valencia shares tips for coaching parents on how to set clear, developmentally appropriate limits without escalating the situation. 7. Responding to "We've Already Tried That" This common phrase can be frustrating for clinicians, but Valencia reframes it as an opportunity to validate parents' experiences and reintroduce strategies with better context or support. Inside Apollo's Approach to Caregiver Training Valencia also gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how Apollo Behavior structures its caregiver support. From structured training sessions to informal check-ins, their model integrates parent collaboration as a core component of service delivery—not an afterthought.
