Allie sits down with Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, for a powerful, no-holds-barred conversation on the radical transformation of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. Dhillon reveals how the division is now enforcing civil rights laws for all Americans — not just select groups — dismantling DEI discrimination, investigating attacks on houses of worship, defending religious liberty in prisons, protecting girls' sports under Title IX, and challenging states defying federal law on voting integrity and more. From reversing Biden-era weaponization to opening probes into anti-Christian and anti-Jewish bias, she explains the shift from activist lawfare to impartial justice.

Incumbent traditional organisations are doomed to failure.That's a misleading view that permeates the world of digital transformation. In fact, they can thrive if they develop the right mindsets and capabilities.

On May 31, 2002, 22 year old LSU Grad Assistant Charlotte Murray Pace was attacked in her Baton Rouge townhouse which she had moved into only days earlier. She was brutally stabbed more than 80 times. Evidence from the crime scene showed that Pace fought her attacker fiercely throughout several rooms of her home. Her struggle was instrumental to the investigation into her murder, as she trapped her killer's DNA under her fingernails.This is DTL Hosted by Kelly Jennings and produced by the experts at Envision Podcast Productions.Timestamps01:09 The Rise of Charlotte Murray Pace06:19 A Day of Celebration Turns Dark12:01 The Fight for Survival17:54 The Aftermath of Horror20:59 Unraveling the Crime Scene26:27 The Search for Answers 29:37 Another Knock at the DoorFor Media or Advertising Inquiries Envisionpodcaststudios@gmail.com
As 2025 comes to an end and we enter a new year, we're looking back on the past 12 months that sometimes feel like a never-ending cycle of bad news.The year began with Trump's inauguration,kicking off massive protests in cities and towns across the country that have continued throughout the year, spawning the No Kings movement as well as other national and local resistance. Instead of quietly letting the Trump administration implement Project 2025 and worse, peoples' movements have taken action to defend education, workers' rights, LGBTQ rights, women's rights and more. It's also been a year of fightback against war and imperialism. As Trump has had meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelenskyy over the last weekend of 2025, the U.S. is ramping up its attacks on Venezuela, including a possible CIA-run drone bombing earlier in December of a port facility. Even with a ceasefire agreement in place, Israel continues to bomb and displace Palestinians, and the solidarity movement continues to organize for an end to U.S. support for Israel and its genocide, connecting Palestine with Venezuela, Nigeria, Yemen, Syria and the many other countries the U.S. has bombed this year.Going into 2026, we're not just reviewing what happened over the last year but looking at the lessons that movements need to learn for another year of oppression - and struggle.Support the show
In the 1940s, a retired principal named Ethel Percy Andrus, learned that a former colleague of hers had been forced to live in a chicken coop because she couldn't afford housing or medical care.That moment started her on mission to help retired people in the country. And eventually led to the start of AARP. On today's Block Club Chicago podcast, sponsored by AARP, we chat with the irIllinois chapter about their efforts today - including a big push in 2026 to help stop seniors from falling victim to fraud.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

(00:00:00) SNAP benefits are coming back—but is that actually good news for everyone? We’re talking about what the return of SNAP really means, especially for expecting mothers who were hit hard by cuts and confusing policies. Who’s being helped, who’s still struggling, and what can families realistically expect going forward? (00:22:27) We’re also joined by Beck Ravenswood, owner of The Serpent's Key Shoppe and Sanctuary, to talk about something you might not even realize is still illegal in parts of Pennsylvania: tarot reading. After being threatened with arrest by the Hanover Borough Police Department in October 2023, Beck has been fighting back against an outdated law that criminalizes spiritual practices. From putting food on the table to the freedom to run a small business without fear, this episode digs into what happens when the rules don’t reflect real life, and what it takes to push for change.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oecusse, a rugged, remote district of Timor-Leste in south-east Asia, is usually a pretty sleepy place. But in August, Oecusse was rocked by a large police raid on a suspected scam centre, later linked by a UN report to organised crime networks running scamming operations across south-east Asia. And then in early September, a Facebook post by one of Timor-Leste's highest political officials made some explosive allegations about a murky criminal underworld trying to get a foothold in the country.In this episode, we speak to Michael Rose, an anthropologist and adjunct lecturer at the University of Adelaide who has lived and worked in Timor-Leste, about how Asia's scamming gangs set their sights on Timor-Leste as their next frontier – and the movement to keep them out.This episode was written and produced by Katie Flood and Gemma Ware with assistance from Mend Mariwany.

Trump kicks off his "Affordability Messaging" tour and spends most of his time at the podium complaining about immigrants and replaying his old hits but with much less energy and way fewer people in the audience.

Meanwhile, Trump announces a $12 billion bailout for farmers, funded by tariff taxes paid by Americans — a package that will almost certainly end up lining the pockets of Monsanto executives and similar agribusiness giants.

AI needs power. A lot of power. But what happens when that power comes from 35 unpermitted gas turbines dropped into the middle of a historic Black neighborhood? In this episode, Eric sits down with Dr. Sacoby Wilson, award-winning environmental health scientist and recent Heinz Award for the Environment honoree, who's helping Boxtown in Memphis push back against Elon Musk's xAI “Colossus” data center. Dr. Wilson breaks down how data centers are becoming the newest front in environmental and energy justice, why the pollution burden keeps landing on the same communities, and what they're doing about it. We talk about “empowerment science,” community air monitoring, climate redlining, regenerative agriculture, and what it really takes to turn data into power for frontline communities.

AI needs power. A lot of power. But what happens when that power comes from 35 unpermitted gas turbines dropped into the middle of a historic Black neighborhood? In this episode, Eric sits down with Dr. Sacoby Wilson, award-winning environmental health scientist and recent Heinz Award for the Environment honoree, who's helping Boxtown in Memphis push back against Elon Musk's xAI “Colossus” data center. Dr. Wilson breaks down how data centers are becoming the newest front in environmental and energy justice, why the pollution burden keeps landing on the same communities, and what they're doing about it. We talk about “IMpowerment Science,” community air monitoring, climate redlining, regenerative agriculture, and what it really takes to turn data into power for frontline communities.

What happens when a simple idea—men working out around a fire and following Christ—jumps across the ocean into post-Soviet Europe?In this episode, we sit down with Pro from Braveheart Tribe in Budapest, Hungary to talk about how Men's Alliance has taken root in Europe and why Hungary might become a hub for Christian men's ministry.Pro shares his story of growing up in the Netherlands, moving to Central Europe after the Iron Curtain fell, meeting his wife in Hungary, and slowly moving from career-first to ministry-first. We dig into: • The difference between Western Europe and Central Europe when it comes to faith • Why Hungary is still largely Christian while other European nations are turning secular • The rise of Islam in Europe and why we must train ambassadors for Christ • How Braveheart Tribe launched in Budapest and what MA looks like in an urban European context • Why hard workouts, cold weather, and real discomfort are essential for discipling men • How Carry the Fire apologetics training is preparing men to share and defend their faithYou'll hear how God used a doctor who had been in a Men's Alliance tribe in Alaska… moved him to Budapest… and then used that connection to help launch multiple tribes in Hungary—including Braveheart and a neighboring tribe led by “Blade Runner.”If you've ever wondered what God is doing among men outside the U.S., or how to reach a culture that's forgotten its Christian roots, this conversation will fire you up and give you a bigger vision for Men's Alliance.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador's Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV
Environmentalist and author Anita Sanchez gives lessons in her weekly Substack The Optimistic Activist on how to effectively resist corrupt and incompetent political leadership. She spars with podcast host Rosemary Armao, who sees only doom ahead about why she is hopeful and how optimism is a strategic point of view that can defeat fascism. Anita Sanchez's award-winning books sing the praises of unloved plants and animals and of the ignored wild places of the world: dandelions, poison ivy, seaweed, glaciers, and mud puddles. Years of field work and teaching outdoor classes with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation have given her firsthand experience introducing people to the wonders of nature. She is passionate about political activism and is what she describes as a strategic optimist. For the past two years, she has written the Optimistic Activist on Substack https://optimisticactivist.substack.com
When she is not looking at dandelions, poison ivy, animal scat, and other natural "wonders" that come with bad reputations, author Anita Sanchez is out demonstrating for democracy. She writes about both these pursuits in a Substack titled The Optimistic Activist. Sanchez says she sees plenty right now that gives her hope and encouragement about politics, as well as the planet. Hear this rare good news as she talks with Beyond the Brink and Fighting Back podcast host Rosemary Armao -- who is definitely not an optimist.

Summary: In this episode, Dr. Scott Jensen discusses the importance of health freedom, the role of government in health decisions, and the impact of media on public perception. He emphasizes the need for informed consent, the dangers of fluoride in water, and the significance of small-scale farming for food security. Jensen also addresses the implications of liability shields for corporations and the need for transparency in health discussions, including weather modification. His campaign for governor of Minnesota focuses on restoring safety, opportunity, and values, with a strong commitment to health freedom as a fundamental right. Takeaways: Trust should be placed in the constitution, not the government. Health freedom reflects the status of individual liberties. Fluoride in water is a controversial public health issue. Media manipulation affects public perception of health issues. Deregulating small-scale farming can enhance food security. Liability shields for corporations can undermine accountability. Weather modification raises significant public health concerns. Resources Mentioned: Support Dr Scott Jensen for Minnesota Governor Are you registered to vote for the midterm elections?
