John Opdycke — founder and president of Open Primaries, one of the leading organizations pushing to end closed partisan primaries — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that the exclusion of independent voters is one of the great overlooked scandals of American democracy. Opdycke walks through the byzantine patchwork of voter and party registration rules that vary wildly by state, explains why so many independents sit out partisan primaries entirely, and argues that after 30 years of closed primaries the cumulative effect has been a system where the parties function as both the umpires and the players — a structure that simply doesn't work. He makes the bipartisan argument that tax dollars shouldn't fund the private nominating contests of what are essentially private organizations, and is pointedly critical of Democrats for actively fighting open primary initiatives.He notes that policies with 80% public support routinely fail to pass because voters don't actually have a meaningful say. The conversation turns tactical and forward-looking, with Opdycke offering a sober assessment of the broader reform landscape and its persistent failures. He argues the ranked-choice voting movement has made serious tactical errors, that the party in power always fights ranked choice voting, and that the modern reform and independent movement suffers from a fundamental lack of a compelling public face — as well as from philanthropic funders who attach outcome expectations that distort the work. Opdycke is candid that third parties fare poorly in nearly every electoral system, that Ross Perot's Reform Party is now essentially a shell, and that the American people still don't trust the reform movement — but he sees real opportunity in specific fights, particularly mobilizing Florida's independents to change the law and pursuing top-two systems that would genuinely open the door to competition. He notes the striking statistic that 10,000 people per week are changing their voter registration, laments the general lack of curiosity (and polling) about who swing voters actually are, and argues there's meaningful left-right overlap among libertarians that reformers could tap. They explore whether the redistricting wars could create a backlash against the two-party system, why there are only about 25 competitive House districts left, and why several states are now actually moving back toward closed primaries. They close with a clear-eyed take on 2028: the reform movement needs a credible presidential candidate, and with 2028 shaping up to be a wild and unpredictable year, the opening for that kind of disruption may be wider than it's been in decades.

Chuck Todd opens with the news that Trump is planning a primetime address to push election denialism, and uses it as a lens to examine how thoroughly fealty to the 2020 fraud lie has become the price of admission in Trump's Washington. He argues Todd Blanche should have no place in the Department of Justice, that he failed his test under questioning from John Cornyn, and that the weaponization fund could become the red line that finally moves Collins, Tillis, and Cornyn — because an inability to confirm Blanche would be a clear sign of Trump's weakening grip on the GOP. He points to the surreal spectacle of Jay Clayton refusing to answer Jon Ossoff's simple question of who won the 2020 election, looking like a ridiculous sycophant in the process, and to Trump endorsing MyPillow's Mike Lindell — the single biggest election conspiracy theorist in the country, a man who's lost every court case and been forced to pay $5 million over his false claims. He reminds listeners that it was Trump's own appointees who ran election security in 2020, that every major election denier from Giuliani on down has been forced to retract in court, and that Georgia's full hand recount matched the machines exactly — the only real constant in Trumpworld is that any outcome Trump dislikes gets branded fraud. He then turns to the mounting deaths during ICE encounters, arguing the violence isn't an anomaly but an entirely predictable consequence of an agency whose culture has been deliberately reshaped: DHS recruited candidates with violent psychological profiles using white nationalist slogans, imposed quotas that put officers under enormous stress, and pushed them into vehicle stops that former officials admit ICE has no experience conducting. In two fatal shootings the men killed weren't even the targets, witnesses have disputed the DHS account, there's no body cam footage, and Chuck argues DHS has zero credibility, even as Trump clearly wants the theater and the violent confrontations. On Iran, Chuck is blunt that having less leverage than before the war started is simply what losing a war looks like: the administration badly underestimated Iran's willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz, Iran deliberately decentralized its regime to survive decapitation strikes, and after three failed military strategies in five months, Trump has spent the entire war negotiating against himself — meaning the best America can now hope for is a managed stalemate, because Iran can't beat the U.S. military, it just has to wait out an increasingly impatient Trump. He closes on a lighter note with the House passing a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, offering the contrarian reminder that the public always wants permanent DST until they actually get it — kids forced to go to school in pitch darkness, and the simple reality that what's good for you in the evening is bad for someone else in the morning.

Send us Fan MailYou can feel it before you can explain it: you show up, you speak, and it's like the decision was made before you walked in. Now zoom that feeling out from a meeting to an entire neighborhood and you start to see what civic alienation and political powerlessness do to real human lives. I wanted a quiet, solo conversation about what happens to a community when large groups of people stop believing their voice matters, and what kindness looks like when the stakes are high.We dig into what social science says about civic exclusion and community health. When people experience learned helplessness in civic life, the ripple effects can be brutal: trust in neighbors drops, volunteerism declines, and mental health suffers. I talk through research on social capital and why participation is not just a “politics” issue, but a community stability issue. I also lean on ideas from Robert Putnam and Robert Sampson to make sense of what strengthens communities, especially the concept of collective efficacy, that shared belief that we can act together and make things better.Then we ground it in stories: the Mothers of East Los Angeles organizing with dignity and persistence, civil rights era organizing in Lowndes County built on mutual care, and modern examples like mutual aid networks, community land trusts, and participatory budgeting. Finally, I share practical ways to respond with courage: listen to understand, show up in local rooms, learn your community's history, connect across difference, and remember that kindness is not neutral when someone is being excluded.If this lands with you, subscribe, share it with someone who feels unheard, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network — your go-to hub for podcast creators.

For twenty years, Christian Wiman has lived with a rare, incurable cancer. In the fall of 2022, during a stretch when the illness was especially bad, he wrote to his friend and Yale colleague Miroslav Volf: “I don't know what faith means anymore. I'm a 56-year-old with a pile of books behind me and an experimental bone marrow transplant ahead of me, and I don't know what faith means.” That letter became the seed of an extended correspondence between the poet and the theologian, now published as Glimmerings: Letters on Faith between a Poet and a Theologian. In this special collaboration with Arc Magazine, editor Mark Oppenheimer sits down with Volf and Wiman to unpack the letters that grew out of their long friendship and years of walking together through New Haven. They discuss what it means to love God, why doubt and absence might be constitutive elements of faith and presence rather than its opposite, and how a terminal diagnosis changed what each of them was willing to say and how freely they said it. They also trace the thinkers who shaped their thinking along the way, from Simone Weil's account of attention to Etty Hillesum's wartime writing, to Abraham Joshua Heschel's theology of the prophets, and they wrestle openly with where their understandings of Jesus Christ converge and diverge. Along the way, Wiman reflects on writing from a hospital room at Massachusetts General, on discovering that his fear was never death itself but the fear of dying without God, and on why grief, not fear, is what remains even after that fear falls away. Episode Highlights I don't know what faith means anymore. I'm a 56-year-old with a pile of books behind me and an experimental bone marrow transplant ahead of me, and I don't know what faith means. I sometimes find it hard to think what it means to love God. I don't know how to love God. Faith is what matters. Belief seems to me a matter of the institution and ascending to creeds and things like that. I think most of my theological thinking is existentially motivated. It's motivated by the kind of inner logic of the trust in which I'm involved. Most of the books that I wrote, I've written for myself. I'm one of those writers who doesn't have an audience. There is grace in my life if I can just keep my eyes open enough to see it. His mistake in some ways lets him see that the world is right, that there's a rightness to the world. What becomes clear is one's longing for God. Everything is stripped away and very little else seems to matter. What I want most in my life is the presence of God. And I fear dying without that. Just being alone at the moment of death. I was worried that he won't have God in that situation of need because attention might be lacking.

Next week's NATO Summit in Ankara is expected to showcase Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rising influence within the alliance, as he aims to use the gathering to overcome resistance to crucial arms deals and highlight the rapid growth of Turkey's defence industry. Boasting NATO's second-largest army and sharing borders with flashpoints from Ukraine to the Middle East, Turkey is at the heart of the alliance's future amid doubts about the United States' commitment to European defence. “It is a paradigm shift,” says international relations professor Huseyin Bagci of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. With European and North American leaders attending the summit, on 7 and 8 July, Bagci predicts Erdogan will use the opportunity to cement Turkey's pivotal role.  “The NATO summit will be a good instrument for Erdogan to show Turkish domestic politics, as well as international politics, that he is one of the medium-power leaders in the world with whom you have to deal." Europe, Asia driving surge in global military spending: report Defence deals Major arms deals are expected to make headlines at the summit. US President Donald Trump – attending out of what he calls respect for Erdogan – is not likely to come empty-handed. "The administration is eager to deliver something to Erdogan," says Aaron Stein, president of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a US-based think tank. Trump and Erdogan are expected to sign a $700 million deal for the sale of around 80 GE F-110 fighter jet engines. The sale would be a major breakthrough for Ankara in its ambitious Fifth Generation fighter jet project.  “The Kaan fighter jet, Turkey's domestic fighter, is powered at least in the first iteration by the F-110. And so getting these engines would be important for the development of that fighter,” explained Stein. Ankara is investing billions of euros into the Kaan jet, but without enough engines critics have mockingly called it the world's priciest glider. Congressional roadblocks, fuelled by influential Israeli and Greek lobbies, have stalled the engine deal, but Trump has vowed to use executive power to push it through. “Turkey has become a domestic political football in the United States, kicked around,” says Stein. “The administration wants to push forward on these agreements and is willing to use leverage to do it." Turkey opposition worries that Europe is sacrificing democracy for security Ankara is also looking to the NATO summit for a breakthrough in its goal to secure the French-Italian SAMP-T anti-missile system. Until now Paris has blocked the sale, but French media has hinted that an agreement could be within reach.  “That would open maybe a new chapter in European-Turkish relations,” says International relations expert Zaur Gasimov of Istanbul's Turkish German University. “That would bring key European members of NATO – France, Italy – closer to Turkey. And would maybe forge a new core group within NATO." Exclusion from SAFE Ankara is using the summit to spotlight Turkey's booming defence industry, showcasing its cutting-edge weaponry and highly coveted drones, used in conflicts from Ukraine to Africa. “Turkey has quite a developed field of drone production, which is of paramount importance in modern types of warfare,” explains Gasimov. “So all that makes Turkey a very, very special member of NATO from the point of view of European leaders." However, Turkish arms sales to Europe face a major hurdle: exclusion from the EU's €150 billion Safety and Assistance for Europe (SAFE) arms procurement programme. EU members Greece and Cyprus continue to block Turkey's participation in SAFE due to unresolved disputes in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Turkey expands influence in Africa through military training Bagci predicts Erdogan will use his meeting with European leaders to try to break this deadlock. “SAFE is the grand strategic decision of the European Union, so it cannot be stopped or prevented by such a small country like the southern Republic of Cyprus or Greece. The Greeks and the southern Republic of Cyprus, they have to stop or shut up and not prevent [Turkey's participation in] SAFE," he says.  Turkey is the only country that recognises the Turkish Cypriot administration in Northern Cyprus, refusing to recognise the Republic of Cyprus as the sole sovereign administrator of the island, as international law does. 

Imagine a menu where every cocktail has a zero-proof twin, every allergy is anticipated, and nothing—even the juice from a can of chickpeas—goes to waste. This episode is all about pushing past the 'Shirley Temple standard' and building truly inclusive and sustainable food & beverage experiences, one thoughtful pivot at a time." From batch-prepping for reduced waste to designing mocktails that rival their spirited siblings, Tracy along with Evan Askey and Colby Poulin of Vast in Oklahoma City explore what it takes to create menus that welcome everyone—regardless of food preference, restriction, or choice to skip the alcohol. They reveal how their programs eliminate outcasts at the table, use innovative bar techniques like super juicing and aquafaba powders, and maximize local sourcing, all while cutting costs and keeping flavor and experience front and center. Take away concrete tips for allergen management, sustainability in large-scale dining, and building bar programs that let everyone—kids, non-drinkers, food allergy guests—join in the celebration.

The Rebbe strongly objects to the decision not to allow girls into the shul in Kfar Chabad, stating it has no basis. He urges the community to reflect on the Baal Shem Tov's teaching about G-d's boundless love for every Jew and encourages inclusive conduct. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/012/006/4145

A court ruling affirming tribal authority over hunting and fishing rights on reservation lands has renewed conversations about sovereignty, citizenship, and belonging; It has also raised concerns among Freedmen descendants who remain excluded from certain tribal rights and benefits, including hunting and fishing privileges in some nations. Focus: Black Oklahoma correspondent Deon Osborne explores what justice looks like for descendants of formerly enslaved people who were once part of tribal communities.A recent protest organized by Tulsa's chapter of Food Not Bombs, or FNB, has renewed debate about free speech and public demonstration. What began as a public action focused on the issue of hunger ended with multiple arrests and citations issued to participants. What happened that day, and what does it reveal about the relationship between local government, law enforcement, and grassroots activism? FBO's Aristotle Orsini has the story.What does it mean to live in a place that was never meant to feel like home? Across the country, extended stay hotels have become a last resort for individuals and families navigating housing instability. Behind those doors are stories often overlooked: of stress, isolation, resilience, and the quiet toll that instability takes on mental health. For those living on the margins, where access to care is limited and community can feel out of reach, how do people cope—and what support truly exists? Here's Nick Alexandrov with more. This segment is taken from a one hour podcast which is part of a larger quarterly effort from Oklahoma media addressing mental health. Find the rest of the quarterly and more stories and coverage from Tulsa Flyer, The Oklahoma Eagle, KOSU, La Semana, and The Frontier at https://tulsaflyer.org/snapshot/mental-health/.Each year Tulsa pauses to remember one of the darkest chapters in U.S. history—the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Today, that memory rests largely in the voice of one woman: Mother Lessie Benningfield Randle, the last known living survivor. Mother Randle has become a powerful advocate–testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on May 19, 2021, sharing her experiences, and calling attention to the lasting impact of the massacre more than a century after it occurred. Her testimony serves as both a personal account and a national challenge to remember, reckon with, and pursue justice.Music can entertain, inspire, and spark change—and few artists embody that power more than Rocky Dawuni. Born in Ghana and celebrated around the world, Dawuni blends Afro-roots music, reggae, and global influences to create songs that promote unity, social justice, and cultural understanding. During a recent stop at New York University, or NYU, Acra, FBO's Zaakirah Muhammad profiles the artist, activist, and United Nations ambassador behind the music, exploring how his sound bridges continents and how his message continues to resonate with audiences across the globe.Sometimes love looks less like grand gestures and more like a long drive down the highway. When her son needed to move between Texas and Tulsa, one mother didn't hesitate—even though the car making the journey was far from road ready. Equiped with determination, patience, and a mother's unwavering commitment, Sondra Slade took on the challenge to help her son reach his next chapter.Focus: Black Oklahoma is produced in partnership with KOSU Radio & Tri-City Collective.

In this episode, we revisit the 2015 LDS Church policy that restricted children from baptism and confirmation if they had a parent in a same-sex relationship. Church leaders later described the policy as revelation and doctrinally consistent, but it was quietly reversed just a few years later.We walk through key public statements and interviews from senior LDS leadership, including Russell M. Nelson, Dallin H. Oaks, Todd Christofferson, and Sheri Dew, placing their explanations in sequence to examine how the policy was framed publicly over time.The video then contrasts those explanations with the policy's later withdrawal, raising questions about institutional messaging, hindsight framing, and how doctrinal justification is constructed in real time.This is a structured, documentary-style breakdown of the language used, the timeline of statements, and how the narrative around the policy evolved.Based on: https://tinyurl.com/2sey66k7Please consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.

Exclusion of evidence and habeas corpus? Who needs us? It's a Dallin Oaks episode and we go over two law review articles (pub. 1966 & 70) he wrote focusing on the rights of criminals. How we handle evidence consistent with the constitution is a complicated issue and Hoaks has a hot take. Plus, he thinks habeas corpus has gotten a bit out of hand with how many death row convicts it was helping. Then we dive through 2 more chapters from Pure in Heart about Spirituality and Worship. The hot takes here are akin to moldy soup in the back of the fridge.

Episode #549: Mohammad Siraj, a Rohingya researcher, political analyst, educator, and aspiring legal scholar living in a refugee camp in Bangladesh, studies citizenship, constitutional reform, education, and human rights. Drawing on his work with the Rohingya Academic Research Institute and his experience teaching in refugee settings, he argues that the Rohingya crisis is not simply a humanitarian emergency but a political and institutional crisis rooted in discriminatory law, particularly Myanmar's citizenship framework and constitutional structure. Siraj's own life reflects the realities he studies. He once hoped to become a doctor, but military violence forced his family to flee Myanmar. In Bangladesh's refugee camps, he continued studying through limited educational opportunities and later pursued research training. Statelessness created major barriers: even when he received university offers, he could not accept them because he lacked a passport or travel documents. He turned toward law because he believes legal systems have excluded Rohingya from citizenship, political participation, and protection. He repeatedly highlights statelessness as one of the greatest obstacles Rohingya face. Without citizenship, movement, higher education, and professional opportunities remain difficult to access. His own studies through the online University of the People illustrate both determination and the limits of such alternatives. Siraj's research and teaching are rooted in these same conditions. At the Rohingya Academic Research Institute, a community-led organization in the camps, he helps Rohingya scholars document their history and rights. He also criticizes humanitarian education programs that prioritize administrative requirements over meaningful learning. In response, Rohingya teachers have created community schools using the Myanmar curriculum, though their certificates are rarely recognized by universities. For Siraj, the deeper cause of the crisis lies in Myanmar's 1982 citizenship law, which stripped Rohingya of citizenship and legal protection. He argues that lasting reform must restore equal citizenship and dismantle constitutional structures that entrench military power, while dialogue across communities remains essential for building a democratic Myanmar where all ethnic groups share citizenship, representation, and dignity.

In this episode, Suzanne Spradley and Chase Cannon revisit the history and importance of the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) coverage. Suzanne takes us back to the 1940s to understand how the tax exclusion began. The two discuss the reasons for the longevity and stability of the ESI model and how it has impacted the accessibility and affordability of health insurance in the U.S. Suzanne closes by addressing a new U.S. Congressional proposal that could impact employers and the ESI model.

In 1680 and 1681, Shaftesbury led an increasingly shrill and effective campaign, asppeling to popular opinion to force Charles into calling a new parliament. There he could be forced to learn about the power of the exlusionist movement which could be brought to bear. But Charles would learn a different lesson, and at Oxford in 1681, would start his own campaign. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, I want to explore something that doesn't get talked about enough…How certain ideologies sound great on the surface—but when you actually push on them…they start to crack.A couple months ago, I was invited (by the Tacoma Psychedelic Society) to host a talk about about shipibo style plant medicine. Everything was set… until the last minute—my talk got canceled.And the reason?I didn't fit a certain mold.Now here's where it gets interesting…The organization that canceled me openly preaches inclusion.So that got me thinking…What does inclusion actually mean?

Heading as we are into the 1680s on the timeline of the History of the Americans, it will be useful for all of us to know a few basic things about English politics in the 1680s, including especially the “exclusion crisis” of 1679-1681 and the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Both had a big impact on our own history. Along the way we learn more about John Locke, how the acquittal of William Penn transformed the law in England and ultimately the United States, the actual conspiracy between the English King Charles II and Louis XIV of France, the origin of the words “Tory” and “Whig” at the moment that the English invented political parties, the role of infant mortality in the politics of a monarchy, and the awful, but hilarious, “Popish Plot” conspiracy theory that shaped English politics in 1679-81.

Pre-order ⁠⁠The Mental Strength Playbook⁠⁠ before April 28th and get exclusive bonuses delivered instantly — including a mental strength audit and the book's introduction. Have you ever wondered why an unanswered text can send you into a spiral? Or why you keep having the same fight with your partner over and over again? It might be your attachment style. And the good news is, you can actually rewire your brain to feel more secure in your relationships. My guest today is Dr. Amir Levine, psychiatrist, molecular neuroscientist, and the bestselling author of Attached. He's back with a brand new book called Secure, where he shares how the small, everyday moments of connection can change your brain on a molecular level. Some of the things we discuss in this episode are: Why you can be securely attached to one person in your life and anxiously attached to another — and what that reveals about you. The "cyberball effect" and the surprising reason your brain reacts to being left off a group text the same way it reacts to physical pain. The shocking experiment that proved exclusion hurts even when the people excluding you aren't good people. The 5 pillars of a secure connection — and the simple acronym (CARP) you can use to evaluate every relationship in your life. Why even a nod from a stranger in an elevator matters more to your brain than you think. The "CARP intervention" — what to do when someone in your life isn't showing up for you. Why you don't need years of therapy or a massive breakthrough to become more secure. The fascinating science of why some people are wired for closeness and others aren't — and what a microscopic worm can teach us about it. How to "reshuffle your social media" (the people in your life, not the apps) to create a secure bubble around yourself. The reason recalling childhood memories in a secure environment can actually edit those memories — and heal them. If you've ever felt like you're too needy, too distant, or just bad at relationships, this conversation will change how you think about connection — and give you the tools to start feeling more secure today.

Paul Halpern recounts how as the Big Bang theory gained acceptance, Gamow sought recognition for his 1940s predictions regarding cosmic radiation before his death in 1968. Conversely, Hoyle faced a controversial Nobel Prize exclusion for his work on stellar elements, leading him toward increasingly eccentric theories — championing "panspermia," suggesting life and diseases arrived via comets, while challenging Darwinian evolution. Halperncharacterizes both protagonists as "seat of the pants" thinkers who prioritized spontaneous intuition over slow, archival scientific development. (4)NOVEMBER 1957

The conversation escalates to international waters as France and the United Kingdom attempt a multinational maritime initiative around the Strait of Hormuz, raising questions about military coordination, global trade security, and whether major allies are being left out of their own strategy. The episode also dives into competing narratives around Iran, shipping security, and market stability—alongside cultural flashpoints involving media bias, religious leadership, and political rhetoric in the U.S.

8. The Glorious Revolution and the Protestant Succession Guest Author: Jonathan Healey The century concluded with the reign of James II, whose open Catholicism and attempts to bypass Parliament sparked the Exclusion Crisis and the birth of the Whig and Tory parties. When James produced a Catholic heir in 1688, fearful Protestant leaders invited William of Orange to intervene. William landed on November 5th, leading James to flee to France. The resulting Glorious Revolution established William and Mary as joint monarchs, finalizing a century of upheaval. Healey argues these events provided the constitutional arguments—such as representation and the rights of the governed—that would later inspire the American founders. (8)1655 J. VAN DER AEK

I explain why serious environments are built to exclude, not include everyone. When standards are high, not everybody can stay, and that's exactly what gives the environment value. I don't try to make my message comfortable for everyone because the goal is to filter for people who are serious, committed, and can handle pressure. In the episode, I break down how exclusion protects performance, enforces standards, and keeps the right people in the room. Not everyone is meant to stay, and that's the point. Show Notes: [09:53]#1 Exclusion is how standards become enforceable. [16:26]#2 Serious environments protect focus by limiting access. [20:09]#3 Inclusion without consequence produces dilution.

It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making.

This week's In Class With Carr comes from Montgomery Alabama, site of the Second Annual National Fred D. Gray Symposium. We return to Alabama to reflect on how human and civil rights struggles waged here force us to consider contemporary questions of transitioning US and global Social Structures and Africana Ways of Knowing. Anchored by reflections from the Symposium and along the Selma-to-Montgomery trail, the Black Hospital Movement, and figures from Fred Gray and JoAnn Bland to the students of HBHS Tuskegee High School and many others, we continue the work of Africana Studies as “Intellectual CSI.” U.S. Reconstruction's unfinished promises demand a renegotiation anchored in Africana Governance logics in order to resist exclusion and collectively re-center our common humanity in a post-Western world.Are you a member of Knarrative?
