Let's celebrate/commemorate America's independence with an amazing new double book, DECLARATION ILLUSTRATED / EMANCIPATION ILLUSTRATED (Drawn & Quarterly). R. Sikoryak rejoins the show to talk about adapting foundational American documents (verbatim!) with a mind-blowing array of comic art parodies, ranging from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers to Jump Start to Check, Please! to Thanos! We talk about how this project spun out of his CONSTITUTION ILLUSTRATED in 2020, why he decided to include the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address alongside the Declaration of Independence, how he gave himself some pretty strict rules about which artists and characters he could and couldn't use, including not re-using artists he used in his Constitution (which meant employing 200 different artists' styles over the course of these books), and his goal of trying to bring the whole history of American comics into these books. We get into what it's all taught him about America, the ways these documents show how America changed, why he doesn't take offense at being a called a rip-off artist, and why he conceives of these books like a quilt. We also discuss whether he's more sensitive about parodying art by living artists or dead ones, why he wants to get back to comics-parody adaptations of classic books and plays, the ways that access to comprehensive digital comics archives is both good and bad for his work, the artists he wishes could have included in these books, why he brought in many African-American artists and characters in the Emancipation portion of the book, but still found room for Barney Google & Snuffy Smith, the page that almost broke him (okay, it was his Emil Ferris parody), his series of 8-page comics stories for Tom Hanks' first novel (!), and a lot more.

Iran deal dead. DOGE dead. Saylor selling at a loss. Medieval serfs kept more of their income than you do. I warned you about all of it.This episode is sponsored by DripDrop.

Download their 11th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report at https://rok.auto/sosmThe Iran peace deal collapsed and the war is back on, with Trump acknowledging he was "two weeks from a depression" when he agreed to the MOU — a confession Peter Schiff says handed Iran all the leverage. Oil jumped 6% to $75, but the real story is bond yields: the 10-year hit 4.58% and the 30-year 5.07% — nearly at cycle highs despite oil being 25% below its peak, proving the debt, not the war, is driving yields higher.FOMC minutes revealed that 9 of 13 members now support rate hikes after zero did just 90 days ago — theatrics Schiff says Warsh is orchestrating to appear hawkish without ever delivering. The May goods trade deficit exploded to $106.5 billion despite Trump's tariffs, continuing the pattern from his first term. DOGE was officially shut down with zero spending cuts achieved. Strategy sold 3,588 Bitcoin at a $15,000 per coin loss while Stretch sank to $86, and Trump's new savings accounts give kids $1,000 in borrowed money they'll repay through inflation. Schiff closes by noting that medieval serfs kept 75% of their output — more than the average American keeps today — making modern taxpayers lower in status than feudal peasants.Chapters:00:00 Freedom Versus Slavery00:46 Iran Deal Collapses05:04 Markets React to War07:15 Oil Bonds and AI Bubble16:17 Fed Minutes Rate Hike Theater21:28 Tariffs Inflation Excuses26:10 Real Rates and Debt Trap27:41 Trade Deficit Reality Check30:03 AI Threat to Services Surplus32:32 Democracy Deficits and Rights34:59 Rights And Healthcare36:28 Housing And Free Markets40:08 Tax Cuts And Wealth Theft45:55 Taxes And Modern Slavery48:25 DOGE Shutdown And Bitcoin CrashFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The First Emancipation: The Forgotten History of Abolition in Revolutionary France (Princeton UP, 2026) is a dramatic account of how slavery and race profoundly influenced the course of the French Revolution and had a central impact on the lives of key leaders, including Mirabeau, Robespierre, Toussaint Louverture, and Napoleon. Acclaimed historian Jeremy D. Popkin brings this often-forgotten story to life, highlighting the arguments put forward by French abolitionists and their opponents and the profound repercussions of the first abolition of slavery in a Western empire.When the French revolutionaries passed the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen in 1789, they immediately faced a burning question: did that document's first article—“Men are born and remain free and equal in rights”—apply to the 800,000 enslaved Black people in the country's colonies? Over the next dozen years, revolutionary leaders fought over this question. The First Emancipation tells how French lawmakers initially protected slavery in their constitution but reversed themselves in 1794, making France the first western country to abolish slavery throughout its empire. Yet only eight years later, in 1802, Napoleon tried to force the emancipated Black populations of the colonies back into slavery. His decision led to his first major military defeat and to the proclamation of the independence of the Black nation of Haiti, but also to the reestablishment of slavery in other French colonies, where it would not finally be abolished until 1848.The story of how France emancipated its enslaved people and declared them full citizens only to return many of them to bondage, The First Emancipation reveals that the course of abolition in the modern world was more winding and halting than is often remembered.

Part 1 - Host Neville James welcomes Kendell Henry, aka KC, of the Ten Sleepless Knights and the Department of Tourism, for a discussion on Virgin Islands culture, heritage, and upcoming Emancipation celebrations. KC highlights the annual Quelbe Tramp in Frederiksted, the importance of preserving quelbe music, and the growing recognition of Virgin Islands culture through local and national folklife festivals. The conversation also explores the history of the 1878 Fireburn, the legacy of the Four Queens, and the cultural significance of classic Virgin Islands songs including Queen Mary and Freedom. The program additionally features a WAPA update from Shanell Spencer on power rotation in the St. Thomas–St. John district.

Walk into the Museum of African American History on Boston's Beacon Hill right now and the Revolution looks different from the one most of us learned in school. The museum's new exhibition, "Black Voices of the Revolution: Liberty, Emancipation, and the Struggle for Independence," asks what independence meant to people who were themselves enslaved or only tenuously free. In this Outspoken conversation, I spoke with the museum's president and CEO, Noelle Trent, about how that lens reshapes our understanding of 1776 and what we should be teaching the next generation as the Declaration of Independence turns 250.  Learn more about your ad choices.

With the 160th observance of Juneteenth, the United States enters the two-week corridor between the largest Black liberation ritual directly connected to global rituals of African self-determination and the country's nativist Semi-quincentennial Fourth of July celebration ritual. In a country entangled in a war of choice, this week marked a gauche white nationalist White House lawn brawlfest, the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, the continuing celebrations and tensions surrounding soccer's North America-hosted World Cup, and the multinational New York Knicks Basketball Championship Parade and Ceremony. Alongside these rituals, a proliferation of Juneteenth Emancipation Day/Jubilee commemorative events is taking place. This unique convergence raises questions of Governance, Cultural Meaning-Making and Movement and Memory in the context of US and global Social Structures on the brink of renegotiations. Ritual moments are public narratives that reveal various values while often threatening to flatten looming realities. The space between Juneteenth and July 4 allows us to also consider spaces between facts and wishes, remembrances and aspirations.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Black Freedom: A Visual History of Juneteenth and Emancipation Days (Black Dog & Leventhal, 2026) is the first fully illustrated history of Juneteenth and other Emancipation Day celebrations, told through photographs, art, and an engrossing narrative. For more than 150 years, Black communities have gathered to honor freedom, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for true liberation. While Juneteenth has recently gained wider recognition, it was one of many Emancipation Day traditions celebrated across the United States. These observances were spaces of joy, remembrance, and resistance—even as the fight for full freedom was unfinished. This volume brings together stirring essays and striking images from Juneteenth and beyond, offering a sweeping portrait of how Black people have created and sustained rituals of remembrance, a testament to the generations who, through celebration and storytelling, demanded that their contributions to the making of America be fully recognized. Blair LM Kelley is an award-winning author, historian, and scholar of  the African American experience. She is also the president and director of the National Humanities Center, the only independent center for advanced study in the world dedicated exclusively to the humanities. Kishauna Soljour is an Assistant Professor of Public Humanities at San Diego State University.

While Juneteenth has recently gained wider recognition, it was one of many Emancipation Day traditions celebrated across the United States. These observances were spaces of joy, remembrance, and resistance—even as the fight for full freedom was unfinished. This volume brings together stirring essays and striking images from Juneteenth and beyond, offering a sweeping portrait of how Black people have created and sustained rituals of remembrance, a testament to the generations who, through celebration and storytelling, demanded that their contributions to the making of America be fully recognized.

There is a lot in this show.  Arthur discusses some of Dad's health problems in his corner leading to discussions about movies he's been watching with Dad, including most recently Big Fish.  (It's arguably Tim Burton's best movie) then we get into talking about the celebration that is Jineteenth which leads us to discussing how Abraham Lincoln wound up in the Wrestling Hall of Fame as the inventor of the choke slam and how a guy with a variety store sold souvenir fake confederate bills that helped crash the southern economy.  After that we talk about Juneteenth, how it was the celebration of the moment that General George Granger and the Union troops arrived in Galveston on June 19th, 1865; the most remote  part of America at that point and announced among other things General Order number 3 which told the people of color in Galveston that they were free.  That they had been free since the Emancipation Proclamation.  It became a celebrated holiday in Texas and from there grew out to the rest of the country where it was made a national holiday in 2021.  .  And we cover it all in this episode.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

This Friday is Juneteenth, a holiday marking the date that some of the last enslaved people in the Confederacy received word that they were free. Juneteenth celebrations date back to the 1860s, but it didn't become a federal holiday in 2021. Now, communities across our region mark Juneteenth with storytelling events, speaker series, community meals and music.The Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro will host Singing a Journey of Freedom: Songs of Slavery and Emancipation on Friday. The program began as a research project by Mat Callahan, a musician and author currently residing in Bern, Switzerland. He uncovered songs composed and sung by enslaved people and abolitionists that had been buried by history. Callahan then teamed up with Dr. Kathy Bullock to bring this music to life. Bullock is a visiting professor of music at Bennington College, as well as a singer, arranger and choral conductor specializing in gospel, spirituals and classical works by composers from the African diaspora. We are also joined by Rev. Leon Dunkley, an ethnomusicologist and a minister at the North Chapel in Woodstock.Then, Joan Gorman of the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh shares the history of the museum, which used to be a stop on the Underground Railroad. 

Think back to your U.S. history classes. What were you taught about the end of slavery?President Abraham Lincoln is often credited with freeing enslaved Americans when he signed the final Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863.But who gets left out of that narrative?As Juneteenth approaches, KPBS Midday Edition host Jade Hindmon sits down with a local historian to highlight how Black leaders fought for their own liberation and unravel the prevailing narratives around emancipation and America's 250 years of independence.Guest:T.J. Tallie, history professor, University of San Diego

Juneteenth was declared a federal holiday in 2021 when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. The State of Florida actually recognized Juneteenth back in 1991 under Governor Lawton Chiles, and some Florida municipalities focus their historical Emancipation celebrations on May 20 instead, because that's the date the Emancipation Proclamation was announced in Tallahassee in 1865. This weekend the Lee County Black History Society is leading the celebrations locally, so we talk with three people directly involved to learn more.

Hey everybody! Episode 195 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with White Walking Feather, also known as Rob in the Pagé family. WWF is a deeply fascinating man. I was very grateful he came on the show to share his story and wisdom. After struggling in life he found a calling of what it meant to be a truly free person. He emancipated himself from the system of governance that seeks to control us, returning all of his identity documents, stopped paying taxes, or receiving any benefits from the State. He questioned deeply what it means to be in relationship and trust ultimately in Spirit. He now lives off-grid and helps to educate people in the Art of Peace and what it means to be a truly free human and spiritual being. I have a deep respect for the work he is doing and think he is a visionary and shaman in his own right. This may seem like a strange topic but I think its actually at the root of all spiritual practices around the world. And thank you to my friend Shonagh Home for the introduction.

Pāj Turner is proving just that. Driven by his own experiences and a desire to uplift underserved communities, Pāj is crafting a cinematic world that goes beyond entertainment. His film project, The Emancipation of Limits, tells a powerful, multifaceted story deeply rooted in personal experience.The idea for the project originated during the pandemic, when Pāj wrote a novel of the same title in just four months. He described the film as an evolution of his book that interweaves themes of resilience, crime, and hope. With a military background spanning 28 years, Pāj explained that the protagonist's story reflects elements of his own life, particularly his commitment to community building and his desire to recreate Black Wall Street.“I wanted to create something that had more of a story than just one person getting rich,” Pāj shared. “This character gives his profits to his community to rebuild, to create jobs and opportunity—ultimately to restore Black Wall Street.”What started as a book evolved into a concept film after a trailer of the novel garnered over 400,000 views on Facebook. Encouraged by this response, Pāj learned screenwriting, took acting classes, and collaborated with other creatives to bring his vision to life.This story is not only compelling but timely. Through regulated crowdfunding, Pāj has chosen to retain ownership of his intellectual property while creating opportunities for the community to directly invest in and benefit from the project. “Crowdfunding is a great way to keep hold of your intellectual property while also benefiting the people you aim to serve,” he explained.With The Emancipation of Limits, Pāj combines his creativity, military precision, and unwavering commitment to purpose. He's made it possible for anyone to join his journey by investing in the film via a crowdfunding platform.By supporting this project, investors have the unique opportunity to not only fund a meaningful artistic endeavor but also to be part of a movement that amplifies historically underrepresented perspectives and builds cultural and economic momentum.tl;dr:Military veteran A. Pāj Turner shares his journey from service to filmmaker, blending strategy and creativity.His film, The Emancipation of Limits, explores themes of crime, community, and rebuilding Black Wall Street.Pāj is raising funds via regulated crowdfunding on CineBlock Films to retain ownership and empower supporters.Drawing from personal experiences, the film authentically reflects his life and military accomplishments.Pāj credits his success to “strategic vision” and encourages pursuing one's purpose with full commitment.How to Develop Strategic Vision As a SuperpowerPāj's military career provided him with a keen ability to see the path to success clearly. He described his superpower as “strategic vision,” an innate capability to identify goals and map out precise steps to achieve them. “I know how to see something and see all the intricacies of what it'll take for me to get there,” he explained. Combined with his creativity, this enables him to transform ideas into reality, as he demonstrated with his ongoing film project, The Emancipation of Limits. For Pāj, strategic vision is intertwined with a deep sense of purpose.Pāj recounted his time in Belize, where he worked to support the Belizean forces in drug interdiction operations. During one mission, his team coordinated efforts to intercept a drug boat under the cover of darkness, based entirely on strategic intelligence received from the Pentagon. Though Pāj, as a U.S. service member, could not directly engage in the local Belizean tactics, his role in planning and enabling the mission informed the palpable sense of strategy depicted in his film, which prominently features elements of this real experience.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Discover Your Purpose: Reflect on your passions and align your actions with your broader life goals.Plan with Clarity: Write down goals and systematically outline steps to accomplish them.Combine Action with Adaptability: Once you commit, pursue your vision without hesitation, but stay flexible in execution.Draw from Experience: Use personal stories and professional expertise as inspiration for your creative endeavors.Commit Fully: Pāj advises, “You have to be 110% in it, or it's not going to come out like you expect.”By following Pāj's example and advice, you can make strategic vision a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

She traveled to sugar plantations in Louisiana and Sugar Land, Texas, to learn more about convict leasing and to understand the sugar industry's role in Black American history. Her conversations with the late Reginald Moore in Sugar Land and plantation tours played a significant role in inspiring her to cut sugar from her diet, lose over fifty pounds, and raise awareness about sugar among communities of color.Shun continued her studies and became certified and licensed in holistic medicine and sugar addiction by Bitten Jonsson. She founded Sisters Breaking the Bonds of Sugar to raise awareness about sugar among Black Americans.Shun also serves as a sugar mentor for those who struggle with sugar, food, or carbohydrate addiction.

On this day, 23 April 1938, Robert Rumble's Poor Man's Improvement and Land Settlement Association sent a petition to the governor in Jamaica demanding a minimum wage for agricultural workers and peasants, and an end to exploitation by landlords: "We are the Sons of Slaves," they wrote, "who have been paying rent to the Landlords for fully many decades. [...] We want a Minimum Wage Law. We want freedom in this the hundredth year of our Emancipation. We are still economic slaves, burdened in paying rent to Landlords who are sucking out our vitalities." Rent strikes and land occupations began, and tenants seized lands and erected fences around them. Unrest on the island escalated until it was suppressed by British troops in June. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9533/rural-jamaicans-demand-minimum-wageOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

So much of what is happening these days seems utterly nonsensical, from Trump’s war crime and profanity-laced Easter rant, to the whipsaw on Iran. So, is it simply Occam’s razor, or is there more going on here than we’re led to believe? Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. — President Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People (1913) The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W. W. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis. — President Franklin D. Roosevelt, letter to Col. Edward Mandell House (21 November 1933); as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373 I would suggest nothing we’re seeing, including (especially) the seemingly nonsensical, is ‘accidental’ or coincidental. It is PSYOP/PSWAR, a potent toxic mixture of POSIWID and chaos theory designed and intended to rapidly produce maximum chaos resulting in a ‘Clash of Civilizations‘ and The End of History and the Last Man, to ultimately bring about a ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’1234 a la Genesis 11 → Genesis 6 → culminating in Psalm 2 → Revelation 19.

Headlines [x] = Mentioned / Discussed Trump: “A Whole Civilization with Die Tonight” If President Trump carries out his threat to kill the entire civilization of Iran, he will join the ranks of Cato the Elder, Genghis Khan, Cortez, and other villains in history who chose the policy of destroying an entire civilization. Needless to say, this is not what Washington, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin had in mind when they founded the US Constitutional Republic. Members of the US government—as well as We the People—should think about the reflections of multiple Roman authors who regarded the total annihilation of Carthage as an outrage and repudiation of Rome's republican values and virtues. In the Aeneid, Virgil frames the Punic Wars as a fateful conflict initiated by the Punic Queen Dido’s curse on Aeneas’s descendants. I interpret this as Virgil's way of condemning the “unspeakable” destruction of Carthage. The American people should be aware of the fact that if our US government does indeed annihilate the Iranian nation forever, it will certainly have a vast array of terrible consequences for us and for all of mankind. Among other disasters, it is likely that millions of Iranians will be forced to flee to other lands, including those of Europe. Many young men who see their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters suffer will be animated with a burning desire for revenge. I anticipate great horrors ahead for all of us.

Journalist and author Sam Quinones spent his career reporting on crime, drug trafficking and addiction. After his latest book on the opioid epidemic, he turned to a vastly different topic that long held his interest—the tuba, an instrument that for decades was often looked down on or ignored. The more Quinones learned about the tuba, and the people that dedicate their lives to mastering this complicated instrument, the more his interest in the world of band (and banda) grew. He takes us into his new book “The Perfect Tuba,” to explore its history and what we can all learn from working to master a craft.

Punk Anarchism: An Anti-Politics of Resistance (Bloomsbury, 2026) is a radical critique of contemporary politics, offering an alternative framework rooted in anarchism, punk rock, dadaism, situationism and political nihilism. Arguing that traditional approaches to political change are ineffective in the face of the climate crisis and the failures of liberal institutions, the book advocates for rejecting the possibility of meaningful political change within the existing political system. Drawing on historical cultural movements like the Russian and Japanese nihilists of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Sean Parson calls for a politics of pure negation, centered on the destruction of the current social order, rather than its reform – advocating for a revolutionary politics that embraces resentment against the wealthy and rejects hierarchical power dynamics. Punk Anarchism asks: what if resistance were motivated by a sense of playfulness and enjoyment, rather than hope for a better future? Ultimately, Parson proposes an anti-theory of negation as a way to imagine political agency beyond traditional frameworks. Sean Parson is Professor in the Department of Politics and International Affairs at Northern Arizona University, USA. They are the author of Cooking Up a Revolution: Resistance to Gentrification (2019) and the co-editor of four edited books includingRepresentations of Political Resistance and Emancipation in Science Fiction (2020).
