The immigration detention center in Tacoma, Washington has quickly reached capacity this year under the Trump administration’s push to scale up deportations. The population inside nearly doubled in a matter of months, raising some concerns about staffing levels and reported delays for detainees accessing lawyers or medical care. The experience for those inside detention has also shifted in some profound ways due to new policies, including cuts to legal aid programs, restrictions on who is eligible for bond and increased fees for court filings. A new KUOW documentary, “Inside ICE Detention,” opens a window into this time of rapid transition at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma and looks into who is getting detained, how they are treated and some of the new pressures people are facing as they try to fight deportation. The story centers on the experience of a woman named Espinoza, who was arrested during an ICE workplace raid in Kent, WA. Espinoza was four days away from getting married to her partner of 12 years when the raid happened, and she grapples with hopelessness in detention while trying to navigate a way out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if that nagging voice of imposter syndrome isn't really yours, but a belief you picked up in childhood and never questioned? In this episode of the Productivity Smarts podcast, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Armida Espinoza, educator, speaker, and author of Brave Lolis's Box of Hope, to explore how early self-doubt evolves into imposter syndrome and how neuroplasticity can help us rewrite that story. Armida opens up about her journey from a shy first grader struggling to learn English to becoming a published children's author who now helps others find their voice. She shares how one classroom moment led to years of limiting beliefs and how awareness, gratitude, and daily mindset shifts helped her reclaim her confidence and purpose. Together, Gerald and Armida unpack practical ways to reprogram negative thinking, build resilience, and teach both children and adults how to challenge their inner critic. It's an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to rewire your brain, rewrite your story, and step fully into your potential.

True impact doesn't always begin in boardrooms or policy meetings. Sometimes it starts in the heart; in recognizing that the struggles we think are ours alone are, in fact, shared by millions. For Rudy Espinoza, that realization transformed his path from a young man chasing financial success to a leader reshaping the systems that hold communities back.In this episode of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, Jackie sits down with Rudy Espinoza, Executive Director of Inclusive Action for the City, to explore how empathy, awareness, and courage can drive real change. Raised by a single mother who left an abusive home to build a better life, Rudy learned early what resilience and service look like. A single college course opened his eyes to the structural inequities facing his community, and that awakening inspired his lifelong mission: to move capital, opportunity, and dignity into the hands of working-class people.Rudy shares how Inclusive Action's early fight to legalize street vending grew into a statewide movement, and why investing in people and authentic relationships is the true foundation of progress. He also opens up about the personal story that reframed his understanding of impact: a simple act of kindness toward his mother that revealed how connection can heal division and fear.Tune in to episode 252 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, and discover how compassion, community, and courage can create lasting economic and social transformation.Episode TakeawaysHow Rudy's upbringing shaped his understanding of resilience and service (4:20)The ethnic-studies class that changed his worldview (6:20)Lessons from corporate life and why he chose a different path (13:50)The leap of faith that led him to lead Inclusive Action (15:30)How Inclusive Action is advancing economic justice through advocacy and lending (17:50)The story behind the LA street-vending movement (18:40)New legislation protecting vendor data from ICE (20:50)The role of art, storytelling, and solidarity in community change (23:20)Why true impact begins with small, human acts of connection (26:30)The importance of investing in people and authentic relationships (32:00)Connect with Rudy Espinoza:Inclusive Action for the CityLinkedInInstagramLet's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInJackie Tapia Arbonne's websiteBook: The AMIGA Way: Release Cultural Limiting Beliefs to Transform Your Life Hosted on Acast.

Delia Espinoza, fiscal Suprema, conversa con Glatzer Tuesta en No Hay Derecho de Ideeleradio. No Hay Derecho en vivo de lunes a viernes, desde las 7 a. m., por el YouTube y Facebook de Ideeleradio.

r. Espinoza discussed the exciting discovery of TRAPPIST-1e, a planet in the habitable zone of its star, using the James Webb Space Telescope. He explained that they are conducting observations to determine if the planet has an atmosphere and, if so, its composition. He described the transit method they are using to study the planet, which involves observing how the planet blocks starlight and analyzing how the atmosphere interacts with this light.

Summary provided by ZoomDavid and John Batchelor discussed a mission to explore the red dwarf star TRAPPIST and its exoplanets, with a focus on TRAPPIST-1e, which has been identified as a promising candidate in the habitable zone by guest Dr. Nesta Espinoza. During this brief interview, Nestor provided insights into the discovery and ongoing observations of TRAPPIST-1e, including the use of the James Webb Space Telescope to study its atmosphere and potential biosignatures. The discussion covered the technical challenges and methodologies involved in detecting life through atmospheric signatures, as well as future plans for exploring habitable zone exoplanets and the potential for discovering extraterrestrial life. TRAPPIST-1e, orbits the star every 6 days.Dr. Espinoza discussed the exciting discovery of TRAPPIST-1e, a planet in the habitable zone of its star, using the James Webb Space Telescope. He explained that they are conducting observations to determine if the planet has an atmosphere and, if so, its composition. He described the transit method they are using to study the planet, which involves observing how the planet blocks starlight and analyzing how the atmosphere interacts with this light.Nestor explained the technique of transmission spectroscopy used to study exoplanet atmospheres and discussed the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope in detecting biosignatures. He clarified that while James Webb was not specifically designed for biosignature detection, it is being pushed to identify molecular features that could indicate life. Our guest outlined a step-by-step approach to detecting and analyzing potential biosignatures, emphasizing that even if detected, further analysis and modeling are needed to determine if the observed conditions could be explained by non-biological processes.Nestor discussed the challenges of detecting life through atmospheric signatures and the limitations of current scientific models. He explained the importance of studying TRAPPIST-1B, a planet with a stripped atmosphere, as a reference for observing TRAPPIST-1e, which is potentially habitable. He highlighted the complexity of transit observations, noting that stellar activity can distort atmospheric signatures, but simultaneous observations of multiple planets in the system can help differentiate between stellar effects and planetary atmospheres.Nestor and his team, including Natalie, are analyzing observations of exoplanets in the TRAPPIST-1 system, focusing on Planets B and E. They are using a technique to correct for stellar signals by comparing distortions in Planet B's atmosphere to those in Planet E. The initial four observations published last week showed that Planet E's atmosphere is distorted by the star, and the team is now using James Webb Space Telescope to observe 15 more templates to further analyze the planet's atmosphere. The data suggests that Planet E could have a nitrogen-rich atmosphere with trace methane, though other possibilities like a Venus-like atmosphere with clouds are still within the realm of possibility.Nestor went on to discuss the potential for discovering extraterrestrial life and the possibility of deploying a fleet of James Webbs to explore the universe when John asked what he would do with an unlimited budget. He emphasized the need for thousands of habitable zone exoplanets to conduct comprehensive surveys. Nestor mentioned a colleague at the University of Arizona who is considering sending smaller spacecraft to explore space. He reflected on the challenges and successes of the James Webb Space Telescope's commissioning and expressed hope for future missions to search for signs of life in the universe. He mentioned a planned mission in 20-30 years that aims to achieve this.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Raised between Lima and the edge of the Amazon jungle, Rosa's work bridges Indigenous knowledge and modern science in service of biodiversity, conservation, and cultural resilience.This intimate, conversational session explores the nutrient flows between forest and sea, the role of traditional ecological knowledge in scientific understanding, and the art of storytelling as a pathway for ecological healing and reconnection.We also glimpse Rosa's personal journey—her grandmother's backyard “natural pharmacy,” her pioneering research on the Boiling River and medicinal stingless bees, and the global ecosystems that have shaped her vision. Her newly published book, The Spirit of the Rainforest, weaves these threads into an immersive journey through the Amazon—science, spirit, and story entwined.This is a conversation about relationship and reciprocity.

Christine Valters Paintner is joined by author Claudia Love Mair for a series of video conversations. Every other month they take up a new book by or about a voice of color. The community is invited to purchase and read the books in advance and participate actively in this journey of deepening, discovery, and transformation. This month they sat down with Rev. Dr. Roberto Che Espinoza about his book Body Becoming: A Path to Our Liberation. The body that Roberto Che Espinoza inhabits is a nonbinary body, a trans body, a body in two races–and a body continually in discovery. Theirs is also a body on sojourn invested in experience, body understanding, and engagement in and for human thriving. Espinoza relates coming into a new body story, beginning with the deep emotional work of connecting the abstract intelligence of their mind with their body's intelligence, to explore the relationship between living and becoming, doing and listening. Combining that deep listening and living with their work in activism, Body Becoming offers us a way of understanding the body beyond constructions–political or medical-industrial-complex defined–toward cultivating the body as important in our endeavors to build a more inclusive vision for democracy. Mixing memoir and faith, somatics theory and body practice, Espinoza steers us through territory both familiar and difficult–as we discover embodiment as the primary place of deep wisdom, where culture shifts originate and materialize–and a better world becomes, as we too become.

What if your greatest struggle became the key to someone else's freedom? In this raw and redemptive conversation, pastor and author Dr. David Espinoza, Jr. opens up about his decades-long battle with pornography addiction—and how the grace of God, the 12-step model, and the courage of his wife changed everything. From early exposure at age seven to helping other leaders find healing, David's story is a wake-up call and a lifeline. His workbook Life After Porn offers a biblically grounded pathway to restoration, freedom, and lasting transformation. If you're tired of hiding, this episode is a call to step into the light.

El poder corrompe… y a veces construye palacios.Esta es la crónica de Arturo “El Negro” Durazo: de inspector de tránsito a jefe de la policía capitalina; de cuotas, DIPD y el caso del Río Tula, a mansiones en el Ajusco y Zihuatanejo. Del amiguismo al ajuste de cuentas tras el cambio de gobierno, exploramos cómo se fabricó un imperio de impunidad… y por qué su caída dijo más del sistema que del hombre.Además, nos acompañó nuestro amigo Bryan Espinoza (de El Dollop y Una Noche Más con Bryan Espinoza) para conversar sobre relatos de poder, lealtad y caída en México.

SUMMARY: The conversation is centered around Lisa Espinoza's experience with child loss, focusing on her son, Chandler.  Lisa shares that Chandler was adventurous and lived life fully, participating in various activities and sports. Chandler had a philosophy of life and was deeply affectionate and protective of others, never meeting a stranger. Lisa recounts the tragic accident that led to Chandler's passing and the subsequent 18 days of struggle before his death on January 1, 2019. The grief process for Lisa involved accepting the loss, processing pain, adjusting to life without Chandler, and maintaining a connection with him. She emphasizes the importance of not minimizing grief and allowing oneself to feel all emotions, including anger and sorrow.  Lisa discusses honoring Chandler's memory through writing a book and helping others who have experienced similar loss. She finds joy in simple moments and believes in the possibility of joy coexisting with grief. Lisa encourages others to accept help from friends and community and to remain open to moments of joy. The conversation concludes with a focus on finding purpose and meaning after loss and the importance of inviting joy into one's life. PODCAST INTRO: Guest, Lisa Espinoza is an author, coach and a speaker. She stops by the show today to share her personal story of child loss, grief and finding joy even in the midst of great pain. The process of grief is as different as the person it comes upon but none-the-less we can find incredible value because shared story is how grieving hearts find encouragement. Child loss is an indescribable pain that no parent wishes to be part of. For Lisa, the loss of her son Chandler was a life-altering event that reshaped her world in countless ways. Lisa shares a heartfelt conversation of her experiences, providing us with a glimpse into a love that will never end coupled with the grief that accompanies the loss of a child. Her story is one of resilience, hope, and the unwavering belief in the power of connection both with having Christ as your foundation and staying connected to life by way of offering practices of remembrance whether that be spontaneously and deliberately. You'll hear Lisa's reflection on Chandler's adventurous spirit, the kind of person who embraced life with open arms and an open heart. Chandler was one of the four children that Lisa and her husband have (and I do say have because the fact that Chandler is their son will never change)…, a son who brought joy and chaos in equal measure (If you're raising boys you'll know exactly what she's talking about when she shares those examples). You'll definitely see that Chandler lived life to the fullest. The journey of grief is a roller coaster ride at best, yet it is also a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Lisa's approach to grief involved reclining in the Lord and trusting Him to be with her through the dark valley. With God beside her, she decided to embrace the pain and allowed herself to feel deeply. She talked about other healthy ways of processing emotions and pain whether through counseling, writing, or simply sitting with the emotions; maybe with trusted friend who can bear that type of weight (in a healthy way). By accepting the loss and finding ways to adjust to a world without Chandler, Lisa not only finds encouragement for each day but peace and dare I say it (in this context of grief), she finds joy that honors her son's adventurous spirit. In her quest to find meaning amidst the sorrow, Lisa found purpose in helping others navigate their grief (her coaching services). Her writings, initially shared on a blog, became a source of comfort for many, offering a candid and raw portrayal of her journey. Through her words, Lisa provides a lifeline to those who feel isolated in their pain, reinforcing the knowledge that they are not alone. Because of the response she was receiving from her blog posts, she decided to published her story and it is now available to anyone who would love to be encourage (link below). Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, the possibility of joy and connection can light the way forward. Lisa Espinoza's story is a poignant testament to the enduring power of love and the human capacity to heal and find meaning amidst profound loss. Her journey through grief is a beacon of hope, showing that even in the face of unimaginable pain, you are never alone and you can trust God to know the way through.

You're listening to Following Films, the podcast where we dig beneath the surface of cinema to uncover the stories behind the screen. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today we're going deep into the heart of Diablo — a lean, ferocious action-thriller starring Scott Adkins that lands today in theaters and on demand.Diablo is the story of Kris Chaney — a man fresh out of prison, carrying the weight of a promise and running from the kind of danger you can't hide from. Directed by Ernesto Díaz Espinoza, the film mixes brutal martial arts choreography, a relentless villain, and a surprising emotional core.In this special episode, I'm joined first by Scott Adkins, who talks about the physical and emotional challenge of playing Kris — a man torn between violence and redemption.Then, I speak with Alanna de la Rossa, who plays Elisa — a pivotal role that grounds the story with vulnerability and strength. We dive into her experience on set, working opposite Adkins, and what it meant to represent her Colombian roots in an international action film.And finally, I close things out with director Ernesto Díaz Espinoza, who shares his vision for Diablo — from crafting terrifying villains to building tension through movement, silence, and raw human conflict.This is one of our most action-packed episodes yet — and there's a lot more going on beneath the surface than just fists and bullets.Welcome to Following Films. Let's get into Diablo
