Do Not Give The Devil A Foothold by TABLE Tandragee

Prince George's County, Maryland, is a suburban jurisdiction in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and is home to the highest concentration of Black middle-class residents in the United States. As such, it is well positioned to overcome white domination and anti-Black racism and their social and economic consequences. Yet Prince George's does not raise tax revenue sufficient to provide consistent high-quality public goods and services. In Fighting for a Foothold: How Government and Markets Undermine Black Middle-Class Suburbia (Russell Sage Foundation, 2026) sociologist Angela Simms examines the factors contributing to Prince George's financial troubles. Dr. Simms draws on two years of observations of Prince George's County's budget and policy development processes, interviews with nearly 60 Prince George's leaders and residents, and budget and policy analysis for Prince George's County and its two Whiter, wealthier neighbors, Montgomery County, Maryland, and Fairfax County, Virginia. She argues legacy and ongoing government policies and business practices—such as federal mortgage insurance policy prior to 1968, local government reliance on property taxes, and private investment patterns—have resulted in disparities in wealth accumulation between Black and white Americans, not only for individuals and families but local jurisdictions as well. Fighting for a Foothold is an in-depth analysis of the fiscal challenges experienced by Prince George's County and by the suburban Black middle-class and majority-Black jurisdictions, more broadly. The book reveals how race, class, and local jurisdiction boundaries in metropolitan areas interact to create different material living conditions for Americans. Our guest is: Dr. Angela Simms, who is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies, Barnard College, Columbia University. She is the author of Fighting for a Foothold. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a writing coach and developmental editor for academics. She is the creator and producer of the Academic Life podcast.

13. Headline: The Ironclad Bridge: China's Strategic Military Foothold in Serbia Guest: Ivana StradnerSummary: Serbia and China have strengthened their "ironclad friendship" through a free trade agreement and military cooperation. President Vučić is integrating Chinese-made missiles and drones into Serbia's defense, creating a security threat for NATO and providing Beijing with a critical outpost in the Western Balkans. 131880 WIEN

From the Statehouse to the Supreme Court, there is no shortage of news in this episode of The Narrative! Together, Aaron and Mike break down: The historic week for CCV as the organization officially expands beyond Ohio’s borders to launch the national Christian Education Network. The academic "deep state" at Bowling Green State University, where undercover footage caught bureaucrats playing word games to keep their illegal DEI machine running on your dime. The disturbing reality of three assassination attempts against President Trump. The Supreme Court finally dismantling racist gerrymandering. After the news, Benjamin Baird of the Middle East Forum exposes a hidden threat operating inside the Ohio Statehouse. He explains State Representative Munira Abdullahi’s deep-seated leadership within the Muslim American Society (MAS)—a group federal prosecutors identify as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. From hosting terror-linked figures at the Capitol to her lone vote against condemning the October 7 massacre in Israel, Munira's trajectory follows a dangerous blueprint of using democratic institutions to advance a radical, theocratic agenda. Has the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrated the Ohio government? Find out today! More About Benjamin Baird Benjamin Baird is a public affairs specialist who organizes grassroots advocacy campaigns in support of Middle East Forum (MEF) projects. He mobilizes constituencies to support MEF policy objectives, coordinates effective public pressure campaigns, and uses bold and creative techniques to disrupt the policy-making arena.

Today - John discusses the administrations reasoning for the war in Iran which continued to shift and bend depending on the official and the outlet wishing to know. Meanwhile, attention has shifted to the Strait of Hormuz and oil tankers' ability to safely exit a region long patrolled by Iran. Ships from Britain and France will enter the region to chaperone tankers through the region, but Donald Trump says critical nations that refuse to help, like Spain, will instead see embargoed trade. John also talks about the right wing Christian Nationalists who are pushing for war because they believe the apocalypse will bring Jesus back to earth. Then, he interviews Dr. Angela Simms, an Assistant Professor at Barnard College. They discusses her new book, "Fighting for a Foothold," which examines the structural issues undermining the Black middle class in Prince George's County, Maryland. Her insights shed light on the systemic barriers that persist despite the hard work and dedication of many residents. Next, John speaks with Dr. Anahida Dua, a practicing surgeon and healthcare advocate, who emphasizes the importance of having a decisive and knowledgeable U.S. Surgeon General. She critiques the current public health messaging and highlights the need for clarity and confidence in addressing health crises, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. And finally, "Comedy Daddy" - Keith Price returns to chat with listeners and bring levity to the doom and gloom.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We follow the tortuous beginnings of Acadia, the first northern European colony in America -- a string of remote fishing and fur trading outposts, Catholic missions, and French farming villages, which had to withstand a harsh, remote environment, religious and political feuding, a near civil war, and frequent privateer attacks, in order to persist through the seventeenth century and finally begin to develop a distinctive Acadian provincial society which would later survive global war and ethnic cleansing.

In this episode Dr. Hettie V. Williams is in conversation with Dr. Angela Simms about the Black Middle Class in a Baltimore suburb. Williams is professor of history and director of the African Diaspora Studies program at Monmouth University and Simms is currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies at Barnard College Columbia University. Simms is also the author of the book Fighting for a Foothold: How Government and Markets Undermine Black Middle-Class Suburbia recently published by the Russell Sage Foundation in 2026. Fighting for a Foothold is the focus of our conversation. In this text, Simms argues that Prince George's County located in the Washington, D.C. metro area is the jurisdiction in the United States with the highest concentration of Black middle-class residents. Despite this fact, the county is unable to consistently provide high-quality public services to the residents residing in the county. This is due in part to the hording of resources and services in adjacent majority white counties. Simms illustrates in her text the multiple factors that contribute to the inability of the county in providing services of a higher standard to much of its population. #BlackHistory #BlackMiddleClass #BlackBaltimore

Two days on from Donald Trump's extraordinary capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, the dust has barely begun to settle.Maduro is appearing today in a New York court where he will be charged with “narco-terrorism” and conspiracy to import cocaine, which can carry life sentences under US law.But Maduro is not the only loser in all of this. Iran, Russia and China have all lost a valuable client - one who sold them oil, bought their weapons, and provided them with a beachhead on America's doorstep. Venetia is joined by Dr Carlos Solar, a Latin American Security at RUSI, and Adrian Blomfield, The Telegraph's senior foreign correspondent, to discuss the downsides - and upsides - for America's enemies, the Monroe Doctrine's renewed relevance, and what will happen next.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Consuela Marshall as guest to the show.   About Consuela Marshall OT, CHAT, CDP CAPS, CGCP:   Consuela Marshall is an occupational therapist with over 30 years of experience in hospitals, rehabilitation, and home health. Her path to occupational therapy began after her daughter was born with a physical disability, inspiring her to return to college and pursue a profession that would equip her to better support her child and others.   Over the years, Consuela's personal caregiving journey deepened as she cared for an aunt with Alzheimer's and later her mother after multiple strokes—experiences that revealed both the rewards and emotional strain of caregiving.   About Finding a Foothold:   In 2022, she founded Finding A Foothold Caregiver Consulting to provide education and coaching that help family caregivers reduce injury risks, simplify daily tasks, and stay connected to their own lives.   In 2025, she expanded her mission by establishing the Finding A Foothold Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fall prevention and caregiver support in underserved communities.   Consuela is also the author of Fall Prevention: Planning Not to Fall and a frequent speaker on aging, fall prevention, and caregiving.

They share some of the hidden advantages that independent brands have over the powerful yet lumbering incumbents. Want to sign up for our written research?
