Hi. Today Katy, Cody, and Jonathan discuss some of the news that happened while they were on vacation, and boy, was there a lot of it. Trump got on the national news and talked about how "a lot of people want a dictator," then he signed an executive order making flag burning punishable by one year in prison. Kilmar Abrego Garcia was detained again, the DOJ interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell and decided she's a very trustworthy person who has been charged with perjury. They also discussed painting over the mural honoring the victims of Pulse nightclub shooting and more.PATREON: https://patreon.com/somemorenewsMERCH: https://shop.somemorenews.comYOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvlj0IzjSnNoduQF0l3VGng/joinSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it take to hold a dictator accountable for decades of atrocities? In this episode, Tim Horgan speaks with Chris Ried, Director of Operations at Mercury SGS and former Regime War Crimes Liaison in post-Saddam Iraq. Drawing on his firsthand experience in building the case against Saddam Hussein, Chris reflects on the challenges of documenting crimes, ensuring a fair trial, and balancing peace with justice. Together, they explore what Saddam's trial revealed about international law, the dangers of “victor's justice,” and how history can shape the pursuit of accountability today.As new atrocities emerge across the globe, this conversation highlights the hard lessons of Iraq, the importance of truth-telling, and the enduring struggle to make justice real—even in the aftermath of brutality.

In this provocative Flashback Friday episode of The Radio Vagabond, I travel to Belarus – often called “Europe's last dictatorship” – to uncover the lived reality of life under Alexander Lukashenko. As I meet locals and explore Minsk, I ask a bold question: are there bright sides to this autocratic system? Some people credit the regime with preserving economic stability post-USSR, keeping unemployment low and averting the oligarchic chaos seen elsewhere. They say limited online freedoms – like the ability to access opposition sites – create an illusion of choice. But the darker truth sits just beneath the surface. Lukashenko's heavy censorship, the criminalization of dissent – even for wearing “wrong” socks – and the ongoing use of capital punishment paint a grim picture. This episode digs into these contradictions. I speak with people benefiting from economic predictability, then confront the chilling reality of repression and human rights abuses. It's a travel story that challenges assumptions – and raises uncomfortable questions.

Russia is losing the war in Ukraine. More than 1 million Russian troops have been killed or injured, and it's been estimated that it would take another four years and 2 million more soldiers for Putin to conquer the Donbas region. So no, Ben Shapiro, getting Ukraine to sacrifice the region in return for some kind of security guarantee would not be a "masterstroke" for Trump. Meanwhile, red state governors sending National Guard troops to D.C. are disrupting the lives and families of those troops at back-to-school time—just to please Daddy Trump. Plus, the MAGA socialism around Intel, Dems should advise foreign countries to think twice about doing corrupt deals with Trump, and Hegseth's pull-ups don't cut it in the alpha male world he thinks he's making.

With President Trump's crackdown intensifying in Washington, D.C., he lashed out angrily at the media for describing him as a “dictator.” In this same rant, he did not reassure D.C. residents and exaggerated wildly about crime there, suggesting people should thank him for his efforts. As observers noted, Trump clearly meant people should mute criticism of his militarization of cities simply because he claims they're needed to reassert control. We talked to legal commentator Joyce Vance, who writes well about this on her Civil Discourse Substack and is author of the new book Giving Up Is Unforgiveable. She explains how Trump's use of manufactured pretexts is worsening on many fronts, why this itself is an alarming threat to self rule, and how the opposition should respond, noting it's imperative for disengaged voters to “wake up.” This episode was recorded before Trump and D.C. reached an agreement limiting his control over the D.C. police, but the specifics remain unresolved, his use of the National Guard continues, and his broader threat to other cities has darkened.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Is Trump becoming “the demented dictator”? That's the question driving the latest episode of Shrinking Trump, as clinical psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal sit down with Dan Rodricks, the legendary former Baltimore Sun columnist, to unpack Trump's disastrous press conference where he unveiled a plan to seize control of the D.C. police. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio They paint a vivid picture of Trump's recent media blitz, from declaring eight separate states of emergency to deploying troops in Washington, D.C. Rather than stemming crime—which has actually declined—these moves feel like a staged spectacle, a bid to manufacture chaos and justify an authoritarian grip. Heather Cox Richardson and photographer-writer Rex Huke chime in to call out the mainstream press for glossing over Trump's erratic behavior. Too often, anchors chase sensational sound bites instead of pressing for real answers, reducing cognitive warning signs to fleeting headlines rather than treating them as red flags. When Trump turns his fire on Baltimore, he distorts a city on the rise into a caricature of dysfunction. Gartner and Segal contrast his fear-mongering with ground-level reality—neighborhood revitalization, falling violent-crime rates, and community-led renewal—showing how he weaponizes urban struggles to stoke division. Pointing out possible signs of cognitive strain in our leaders isn't a cheap political attack—it's a civic responsibility. By naming these stunts for what they may be—symptoms of mental strain—we open the door to honest dialogue, inoculate ourselves against manipulation, and reclaim our democratic norms. Tune in to Shrinking Trump on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. Arm yourself with the language to see past the façade and call out authoritarian playbooks whenever they emerge. In a world drowning in noise, psychological clarity just might be our most powerful defense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum would be remiss not to address the crackdown happening in our nation’s capital. The residents of Washington D.C., a city with more than 40% Black residents, are under siege. We hav reports from the ground of federal agents rolling out in overwhelming force and literally showing up on folks’ doorsteps. Trump’s stated goal is to crack down on “crime,” homelessness, and teenagers. Our hosts watch some clips and discuss, featuring friends of the show, Ty Hobson-Powell and Elizabeth Booker Houston. Then an update on the redistricting wars with Rep. Veasey (TX-33), Rep. Cleaver (MO-5), and State Rep Jones (TX-147). Texas Governor Abbot has said he will end the special session he called to redraw Texas’ electoral maps, which Texas Democrats fled the state to protest. What happens next? Will the Texas Dems be apprehended by the FBI? Do they have a path to victory in Texas or is the strategy mutually assured destruction (looking at you California)? We get the facts from the source. Did you know that the Democratic Republic of the Congo supplies much of the world’s cobalt, a vital mineral that helps power your smart phone? While this critical resource should be making the country fabulously wealthy, it has instead been a major driver of violence and exploitation.

"American History Hotline" is a new weekly series that will follow host and history enthusiast Bob Crawford as he searches for the best historians and experts to answer listener questions about American history - from the Revolutionary War to rock & roll feuds.The first two episodes will dive into some of the most fascinating and timely aspects of American history and government. Episode 1, "Dead on the 4th of July," explores the true story of Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both dying on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Historian Lindsay Chervinsky unpacks this uncanny coincidence, along with other surprising tales of patriotic deaths linked to Independence Day. Episode 2, "Does the Constitution Prevent a Dictator," features Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, who explains how the U.S. Constitution is designed to protect our country from being taken over by a power-hungry dictator and how much of our federal government is based on political norms and precedents that are vulnerable to the whims of the masses.Episodes available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-american-history-hotline-273590600/ 

✅ How to avoid creating performance identities in your kids ✅ Why "consistency compounds" in parenting just like investing ✅ The 4 legs of legacy (hint: wealth is only 25% of it!)  ✅ How to have intentional family vision meetings that actually work   LEAVE DADAWESOME A VOICEMAIL: speakpipe.com/DadAwesome   FULL SHOW NOTES: https://www.dadawesome.org/blog/394   SUMMARY What if the words you speak as a dad today become your child's inner voice for decades to come? In this episode, Lance Welch—dad of three adult entrepreneurs and grandfather of two—shares how he moved from being a "dictator dad" to a "friend dad" while building intentional multi-generational impact. You'll discover the four stages of fatherhood, why creating performance identities in our kids backfires, and how to transition from survival-mode parenting to legacy-building leadership in your family. Takeaways: There are four distinct stages of fatherhood: dictator dad (young kids), consultant dad (asking "what would you do?"), advocate dad (letting them make mistakes), and friend dad (adult relationships) Consistency compounds—whether in finances or fatherhood, small intentional actions over time create massive impact Avoid creating performance identities in your children by celebrating the "gain" (progress made) rather than focusing on the "gap" (falling short of perfection) Choose your inconvenience: invest time teaching skills on the front end rather than being constantly inconvenienced doing everything yourself The four legs of legacy are vision, values, knowledge, and wealth—with wealth being only one-fourth of what you pass down Empty nest doesn't have to mean relationship decline—40% of couples divorce during this transition, but it can be your greatest season yet Guest: Lance Welch is a legacy navigator, leadership coach, and author of "Legacy Navigator: Creating Intentional Multi-Generational Impact." Along with his wife, he hosts the "Beyond the Nest" podcast, helping couples thrive during the empty nest transition. After spending decades in corporate leadership at a Fortune 100 company, Lance now coaches business leaders and families on creating intentional impact. He and his wife have been married for 37 years, have three adult sons who are all entrepreneurs, and are proud grandparents of two. They live in the Nashville area of Tennessee.   Links Mentioned: Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome: https://www.speakpipe.com/DadAwesome Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word "Dad" to (651) 370-8618 Legacy Navigator by Lance Welch Beyond the Nest Podcast with Lance and his wife The Gap and the Gain by Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan First Friday Discussion Guide (Free download from Lance's website)

Ordinary citizens are solving war crimes with Google Maps and Twitter. Here, Bellingcat's Eliot Higgins reveals how anyone can become a digital detective!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1192What We Discuss with Eliot Higgins:Bellingcat, the investigative journalism group founded by Eliot Higgins, pioneered open source investigations using publicly available data — social media posts, satellite imagery, and online databases — to uncover war crimes, assassinations, and state-level deception that traditional journalism missed.Bellingcat's techniques include geolocation (matching video backgrounds to satellite imagery), chronolocation (using shadows to determine time), and "fingerprinting" military equipment by unique damage patterns to track movements across borders.Bellingcat's major investigations exposed Russian involvement in MH17 downing, identified GRU agents in Skripal poisoning through passport/phone metadata, and mapped entire Russian military units from soldiers' social media posts during Ukraine operations.Bellingcat faces serious threats — Russian surveillance, hacking attempts, disinformation campaigns, and even kidnapping plots — while being falsely labeled as CIA fronts to discredit its independent verification work.Anyone can learn open source investigation through Bellingcat's free resources, Discord community of 40,000 members, YouTube tutorials, and volunteer programs — proving that citizen journalism can hold powerful actors accountable.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Eric Ambel's career got its start in "the first punk band in Wyoming" in the 70s. Imagine trying to launch a music career from Laramie! He eventually becomes the guitarist in the Blackhearts with Joan Jett, but opts not to sign on (the job went to recent guest Ricky Byrd) and goes on to form the Del-Lords with former Dictator guitarist Scott Kempner. They released four albums in the late 80s (two of them produced by Neil Giraldo) before calling it quits. From there Eric focuses more on his solo career, touring with other acts, and production work which has him collaborating with people like Steve Earle, Mojo Nixon, Ellen Foley, Nils Lofgren and a bunch more. "Roscoe" is still at it too and has a story to tell. Enjoy!  Eric Ambel The Hustle Podcast | creating podcasts | Patreon

Episode 2, "Does the Constitution Prevent a Dictator," features Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, who explains how the U.S. Constitution is designed to protect our country from being taken over by a power-hungry dictator and how much of our federal government is based on political norms and precedents that are vulnerable to the whims of the masses.Episodes available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-american-history-hotline-273590600/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Donald Trump on Friday fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed to a near-halt. “We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” the authoritarian posted on Truth Social. The stunning move came the same day that the BLS reported a gain of just 73,000 nonfarm jobs in July, below market expectations.

UC Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky's 2024 book No Democracy Lasts Forever examined how democracies collapse and give way to authoritarian regimes.  Trump's second term, Chemerinsky says, is following the playbook.  ”If one were to design a path to authoritarian rule, it would be what we have seen in the first weeks of the Trump administration,” he wrote earlier this year. One of the country's most prominent legal scholars, Chemerinsky has been speaking out on the need to protect due process and the rule of law and to defend against attacks on academia and the media.  Don't miss him as he returns to Commonwealth Club Word Affairs to talk about the most pressing threats to democracy—and the possible solutions.

Thom Hartmann is joined by Dean Obeidallah to discuss what Trump acting like a dictator with control over the media means for our democracy. Is there a "secret Trump payoff" to sweeten the CBS merger?" Inquiring minds want to know and so do the Dems. Will Ghislaine testify to Congress before Trump can work out a deal? A DOJ official expects to meet with her. Why? And OBTW, She is not suicidal....And will Trump (or his buddies) convince Ghislaine to only release info on Clinton & Gates? And - will they get away with it? Remember - the coverup is what gets you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yes, things are dark. But if history has taught us anything, it's this: regimes fall, because people rise. Some soldiers will follow orders. Others won't. And that fault line? It's where dictatorships begin to crack. Just ask Romania in 1989, as we discussed in our March episode, “How to Overthrow a Dictator.” Meanwhile, Trump's team can't even staff the Pentagon, according to reports. No one who can put one foot in front of the other wants to work for “Whiskey Pete.”  The NIH is being gutted. Five-year research grants canceled in year four. Science is being purged, not for savings, but for submission. Stalin would be proud. So what do we do? We create. We resist. We document. We fund the arts. We fund scientists. We dance in the streets. Because protest is not just rage: it's dance, murals, color, joy. We outnumber them. They know it. That's why they're afraid. That's why they send in the troops. So unleash your inner rebel. Paint. Dance in the streets. Testify. We are all artists now. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

President Donald Trump's countless executive orders and mounting deportations are testing America's democratic institutions. On this week's On the Media, what we can learn from Hungary's recent backslide into autocracy. Plus, why resistance movements throughout history have succeeded with 3.5 percent of the population, or less, behind them.[01:36] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Andrew Marantz, a staff writer at The New Yorker, about his recent piece, “Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy?” and what we can learn from Hungary's recent backsliding into authoritarianism.[16:17] Micah speaks with Márton Gulyás, founder of Partizán, Hungary's leading independent news show, about what lessons journalists in the US might take away from his experience.[37:53] Micah sits down with Maria J. Stephan, political scientist and co-author of Why Civil Resistance Works, to dissect the 3.5% rule, a statistic that's been making its rounds on social media, which is a measurement of the power of collective action. Stephan and her co-researcher Erica Chenoweth first coined the term in 2010. Further reading:“Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy?” by Andrew Marantz“Big Tents and Collective Action Can Defeat Authoritarianism,” by Maria J.
