How did the promise of Black wealth become a tool for white elites? In this Black History Month special of Rattling the Bars, Mansa Musa speaks with UVA Professor and author Justene Hill Edwards about the tragic history of the Freedman's Bank. They dive into the economic intelligence of enslaved people and how they navigated the inherent violence of the slave economy. Professor Hill Edwards also breaks down the betrayal detailed in her book, Savings and Trust, revealing how a bank built for the formerly enslaved was redirected to fund D.C. infrastructure and white elite interests.Get the book at this link on bookshop.com.Host: Mansa Musa Videographer / Editor / Producer: Cameron GranadinoFollow Rattling the Bars on Spotify or Apple Podcasts Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Does forgiveness mean you have to reconcile with the person who hurt you? NO. And that misconception keeps so many people stuck. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Suzanne Freedman, professor of human development at UNI and leading researcher on the psychology of forgiveness with over 30 years of experience. We're untangling what forgiveness actually is, why acknowledging anger isn't a failure of forgiveness (it's often a prerequisite), and how forgiveness can restore agency, energy, and self-trust. Here's what we're covering: Why forgiveness ≠ reconciliation (forgiveness is an internal transformation) How women are socialized to suppress anger (and why that quietly impacts wellbeing and leadership) The 4-phase forgiveness process (it took incest survivors an average of 14.3 months—it's not overnight) Why you can forgive without an apology (and why waiting for one keeps you trapped) How carrying anger is like wearing a heavy backpack full of rocks Why seeing the "monster" as a whole human being is actually empowering The Big Misconceptions About Forgiveness: Myth 1: Forgiveness = Reconciliation NOPE. Forgiveness is an internal transformation. You can forgive someone and never speak to them again. Reconciliation requires the other person to change. Forgiveness doesn't. Myth 2: Anger = Failure to Forgive NOPE. Anger is a normal, natural response to being hurt. It's what you DO with anger that matters. Women are taught anger is "bad"—but anger is often the first step toward forgiveness. You can't gloss over pain and jump to "feeling good" toward someone. Those feelings will leak out in other ways. Myth 3: Just Say "I Forgive You" and You're Done NOPE. For deep hurts, forgiveness is a PROCESS. Dr. Friedman worked with 12 incest survivors—average time to forgive? 14.3 months. It's not one-and-done. Myth 4: You Need an Apology to Forgive NOPE. Waiting for an apology keeps YOU trapped. You're saying "I can't heal until I get something from the person who hurt me." That doesn't make sense. You can choose to forgive for YOUR wellbeing without ever receiving an apology. The 4-Phase Forgiveness Process: Phase 1: Uncovering (Dealing with Feelings)  Phase 2: Decision (Choosing to Forgive)  Phase 3: Work (Reframing & Compassion)  Phase 4: Deepening (Transformation)  The Empowerment Piece: Forgiveness gives you AGENCY. You don't have to treat someone the way they treated you. You don't have to wait for an apology. You don't have to reconcile. You get to CHOOSE what forgiveness looks like for you. Dr. Freedman's Wisdom: "Forgiveness is not weakness. It comes from recognizing you deserve to respect yourself and you don't want to carry anger around anymore." And: "No one wants to be judged for their worst offense." For Your Bold Goals: If you're carrying workplace hurt, childhood wounds, or broken trust, forgiveness isn't about letting someone off the hook. It's about giving YOURSELF permission to heal, to trust again, and to lead without that heavy backpack.

Send a textSelf-Mastery in Real Life: Regulation, Trust, and the Shift from Control to ConnectionIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we sit down with Velvel & Chyena Friedman for a powerful conversation on what real success looks like when it's built on faith, family, and unshakable values. Velvel shares his unconventional journey—from a full-time yeshiva education and Rabbinical ordination to scoring a perfect 180 on the LSAT and stepping into high-stakes litigation—plus how Torah learning shaped his mindset, discipline, and clarity. Chyena opens up about the dignity and joy she finds in being the foundation of the home, and how the right partnership can elevate every area of life. Together, we discuss Shabbos as a “forced gift” of rest, navigating pressure without losing priorities, staying professional with strong boundaries, and why in marriage you're not meant to argue to win—you're meant to build a life as one team. What makes this conversation so powerful is that it's not just about success—it's about what success is built on. Throughout the episode, Velvel and Chyena show what it looks like to be led by a guiding principle, even when life is demanding. The episode closes with their mantra, “Ein od milvado”—a grounding reminder that everything is in Hashem's hands. No matter what season you're in, you'll walk away with something practical, uplifting, and real.EPISODE SPONSORSYAKIRA BELLAYakira Bella is the go-to for trendy, modest women's fashion that still feels current—think playful-but-polished pieces, elevated basics, and outfits that actually work for real life (day-to-day, Shabbos, events, everything in between).

In today's episode, I'm joined by ADHD coach Francine Freedman to explore what ADHD coaching actually is, why medication can help but doesn't solve every executive function challenge, and the practical systems that support adults living with ADHD. We talk about procrastination, time management, organization, and why many mainstream productivity tips don't work for ADHD brains. Francine also shares how sleep, nutrition, and exercise form the foundation for focus, and we discuss women being underdiagnosed—plus how hormonal changes like menopause can intensify symptoms. What I Cover With Francine How Francine explains ADHD (and why it's often an "activation" challenge) Why stimulant medication can support focus but isn't a cure What ADHD coaching looks like and who it's for (even without a formal diagnosis) Why "eat the frog" can backfire for ADHD—and what to do instead Mapping tasks to energy + focus windows to improve follow-through Why "boring, no-deadline" tasks are the hardest—and how to tackle them The lifestyle foundations that support focus: sleep, diet, exercise Low-carb/keto and metabolic psychiatry conversations (and why blood sugar stability matters) Why women are often missed in childhood, then diagnosed later in life The emotional impact of lifelong criticism: shame, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, rejection sensitivity How coaching can help rebuild confidence with skills + self-compassion Key Takeaways Medication can help you focus, but skills and systems are what create lasting change. ADHD-friendly strategies work with your energy patterns—not against them. Sleep, movement, and nutrition aren't optional extras—they're the base layer for focus and resilience. Many adults are diagnosed later because they've been "coping" behind the scenes for years. Support early can prevent burnout, work crises, and constant last-minute stress.

Guest: Michael Vorenberg. Vorenberg explains how President Johnson's racism and desire for a hasty peace alienated Congress. Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights and Freedman's Bureau Acts, arguing the war was over. Republicans, however, insisted war powers remained necessary to protect freedmen, leading them to override Johnson and unite against him.1888 GAR Columbus Ohio

Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. This segment introduces the "Jesse Scouts," a Union special forces unit formed by John Frémont and named after his wife. Led by figures like John Charles Carpenter, these men wore Confederate disguises to infiltrate enemy lines. Despite their effectiveness as commandos, their lack of discipline led to friction with the regular Army. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Richard Blazer leads the "Legion of Honor," a hunter-killer team using Jesse Scout tradecraft to fight Confederate partisans in West Virginia. Blazer employs detective work to track down the ruthless Thurman brothers, who attack Union supply lines in the rugged terrain of the Appalachians. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. A failed Union raid on Richmond carrying orders to kill Jefferson Davis prompts the Confederacy to escalate irregular warfare and political influence operations. As the Confederate Secret Service aids the Copperhead movement, author Herman Melville embeds with Union cavalry to witness the hunt for the elusive John Mosby. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Confederate General Jubal Early threatens Washington, D.C., where Lincolnwitnesses the battle at Fort Stevens. Meanwhile, partisan leader John Mosby operates independently, capturing Union forces at Mount Zion Church. O'Donnell notes that better coordination between Early and Mosby could have endangered the capital. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Grant orders total war in the Shenandoah Valley to crush Mosby's Rangers. Although Richard Blazer's scouts initially have success with Spencer carbines, they are eventually lured into a trap and annihilated by Mosby's men at Kabletown, where Blazer is captured by Ranger Lewis Powell. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Lewis Powell, the Ranger who captured Blazer, is revealed to be a Confederate Secret Service operative working with John Wilkes Booth. Powell returns to Baltimore to aid in a plot to kidnap Lincoln, while Mosby deploys troops to secure a potential escape route for the conspirators. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Harry Harrison Young takes command of the Jesse Scouts, serving as Sheridan'sstrategic eyes in Confederate uniforms. These daring scouts deceive enemy forces and carry messages through enemy lines, enabling Sheridan to move his army effectively to join Grant and trap Lee. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Robert E. Lee rejects the option of guerrilla warfare at Appomattox, choosing surrender to preserve the nation. Years later, former partisan John Singleton Mosby becomes close friends with U.S. Grant and joins the Republican Party, earning the enmity of many Southerners but symbolizing reconciliation. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. At Appomattox, Grant offers generous terms allowing Confederates to keep horses and sidearms. However, Lincoln does not immediately declare the war over; in his final speech, he focuses on the complex path to peace and suffrage, viewing the surrender as a step rather than a conclusion. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. Following Lincoln's assassination, General Sherman negotiates a surrender with Confederate General Johnston at Bennett Place. Sherman attempts to secure a comprehensive peace including civil matters, but officials in Washington, seeking stricter retribution, reject the terms as too generous, forcing a second, purely military surrender. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. While the Grand Review celebrates victory in Washington, General Sheridan is sent to the Texas border with 50,000 troops to counter French imperial ambitions in Mexico and suppress remaining Confederate resistance. Meanwhile, Confederate General Kirby Smith flees to Mexico rather than surrender his western forces. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. The government utilizes military tribunals to try Lincoln's assassins and Andersonville commandant Henry Wirz, arguing the war is ongoing. Prosecutors hope to pressure Wirz into implicating Jefferson Davis in prisoner atrocities to justify hanging the Confederate president, but Wirz refuses and is executed alone. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. Vorenberg discusses Richard Henry Dana's "Grasp of War" speech, which argued the war could not end until the victor secured guarantees against future conflict. This philosophy, demanding the enemy be held down, contrasted sharply with Lincoln's "let 'em up easy" wrestling metaphor, fueling Congressional debates over reconstruction. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. Vorenberg explains how President Johnson's racism and desire for a hasty peace alienated Congress. Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights and Freedman's Bureau Acts, arguing the war was over. Republicans, however, insisted war powers remained necessary to protect freedmen, leading them to override Johnson and unite against him. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. To undercut radicals, Johnson followed Seward's advice to declare the insurrection ended by executive proclamation in 1866. Vorenberg notes this "official" peace ignored realities like the New Orleans massacre. Simultaneously, Senator Doolittle was misled by General Carlton regarding the mistreatment of the Navajo at Bosque Redondo during his peace commission tour. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. General Grant found himself caught between a hostile President Johnson and Secretary Stanton. Vorenberg describes the disastrous "swing around the circle" tour, where Johnson used Grant'spopularity as a shield while making embarrassing speeches. Witnessing Johnson's behavior, Grant ultimately sided with Stanton, realizing the President was unworthy of his loyalty.

It's been a minute (actually, years) since ghost kitchens and virtual brands dominated conversations about restaurant delivery. While those businesses have largely fallen out of view (with a few notable exceptions), restaurants still need a viable digital strategy. In this episode, we talk to Maxx Freedman, founder of Spice, a growth and marketing agency for restaurants, about what restaurants are asking for — and what they need — now.

They discuss a modality of qubit that has not been covered on the podcast before, based on Majorana fermonic behaviors, which have the promise of providing topological protection against the errors which are such a challenge to quantum computing. Guest Bio Chetan Nayak is a Technical Fellow at Microsoft and leads the company's topological quantum hardware program, including the Majorana‑1 processor based on Majorana‑zero‑mode qubits.  He is also a professor of physics at UCSB and a leading theorist in topological phases of matter, non‑Abelian anyons, and topological quantum computation.  Chetan co‑founded Microsoft's Station Q  in 2005, building a bridge from theoretical proposals for topological qubits to engineered semiconductor–superconductor devices. What we talk about Chetan's first exposure to quantum computing in Peter Shor's lectures at the Institute for Advanced Study, and how that intersected with his PhD work with Frank Wilczek on non‑Abelian topological phases and Majorana zero modes.  The early days of topological quantum computation: fractional quantum Hall states at , emergent quasiparticles, and the realization that braiding these excitations naturally implements Clifford gates.  How Alexei Kitaev's toric‑code and Majorana‑chain ideas connected abstract topology to concrete condensed‑matter systems, and led to Chetan's collaboration with Michael Freedman and Sankar Das Sarma.  The 2005 proposal for a gallium‑arsenide quantum Hall device realizing a topological qubit, and the founding of Station Q to turn such theoretical blueprints into experimental devices in partnership with academic labs.  Why Microsoft pivoted from quantum Hall platforms to semiconductor–superconductor nanowires: leveraging the Fu–Kane proximity effect, spin–orbit‑coupled semiconductors, and a huge material design space—while wrestling with the challenges of interfaces and integration.  The evolution of the tetron architecture: two parallel topological nanowires with four Majorana zero modes, connected by a trivial superconducting wire and coupled to quantum dots that enable native Z‑ and X‑parity loop measurements.  How topological superconductivity allows a superconducting island to host even or odd total electron parity without a local signature, and why that nonlocal encoding provides hardware‑level protection for the qubit's logical 0 and 1.  Microsoft's roadmap in a 2D “quality vs. complexity” space: improving topological gap, readout signal‑to‑noise, and measurement fidelity while scaling from single tetrons to error‑corrected logical qubits and, ultimately, utility‑scale systems.  Error correction on top of topological qubits: using surface codes and Hastings–Haah Floquet codes with native two‑qubit parity measurements, and targeting hundreds of physical tetrons per logical qubit and thousands of logical qubits for applications like Shor's algorithm and quantum chemistry.  Engineering for scale: digital, on–off control of quantum‑dot couplings; cryogenic CMOS to fan out control lines inside the fridge; and why tetron size and microsecond‑scale operations sit in a sweet spot for both physics and classical feedback.  Where things stand today: the Majorana‑1 chiplet, recent tetron loop‑measurement experiments, DARPA's US2QC program, and how external users—starting with government and academic partners—will begin to access these devices before broader Azure Quantum integration. Papers and resources mentionedThese are representative papers and resources that align with topics and allusions in the conversation; they are good entry points if you want to go deeper.Non‑Abelian Anyons and Topological Quantum Computation – S.

My Beloved | Blessed | Part 5 In Mark 1:9–11, we see Jesus baptized by John — stepping fully into the Father's will and receiving the Spirit. And in that moment, the Father's voice declares over Him, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” So often, we're tempted to anchor our identity in negativity, in our failures, or in what others say about us. But as believers, our identity is secured in Jesus Christ — the suffering servant who made a way for us to be reconciled to God. Because of Him, we are called “beloved.” This is why we can say we are blessed: not because life is easy or circumstances are perfect, but because we are deeply and irrevocably loved by God. Let's walk in that truth.

Liz Freedman, who is earning her End of Life Doula certification, adds to our series by talking about grief, death and dying.

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Lindsay Freedman, a wealth educator and coach who's on a mission to help women create their wealthiest life by design. We dive deep into the emotional and generational roots of financial scarcity, how women can shift from fear to empowerment around money, and why nervous system regulation might be the most overlooked piece of financial success.Melissa and I talk about what happens when women finally look at their numbers, how shame and silence keep people broke, and why building wealth isn't just about numbers—it's about peace, clarity, and self-trust. From practical investing steps to the deeper mindset behind abundance, this conversation is all about reclaiming control, confidence, and calm when it comes to money.Key Highlights:- Leaning into joy: Why Melissa's current obsession is simply being present and how that shapes her approach to wealth.- Women and money shame: How secrecy, comparison, and conditioning keep women from talking openly about their finances.- Breaking generational scarcity: How fear around money can be passed down—and how to finally stop that cycle.- Abundance vs. scarcity: Redefining success from a calm, grounded nervous system instead of constant hustle or fear.- The hidden millionaire problem: Many women don't even realize their true net worth until they sit down and map it out.- Money and emotional regulation: Why your state of mind directly impacts your financial decisions—and how to pause before reacting.- Creating safety in finance: From life insurance and wills to organizing assets—why structure equals peace of mind.- Crypto reality check: The smart way to approach digital currency—through education, use cases, and long-term vision.- Practical investing 101: Understanding your risk tolerance before diving into stocks, crypto, or private equity.- Building community over competition: Why Melissa and Whitney Woodcock are creating free spaces for women to connect and learn about wealth without shame.Connect with Melissa Lindsay Freedman:Instagram: @melissalindsayfreedmanWebsite: www.wealthywomeness.comMoney isn't just math—it's energy. When we silence the noise, regulate our emotions, and get radically honest about what we want, wealth becomes a byproduct of clarity and confidence. If this episode resonated, share it with someone ready to drop the shame and start building from peace.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes University of Virginia history professor Justene Hill Edwards. Classified as a black female, Hill Edwards is a scholar of African-American history, specializing in the history of slavery in the United States. She received her doctorate in History from Princeton University in 2015. We'll discuss her 2024 publication: Savings and Trust: The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman's Bank. Gus learned about this text from Racist Suspect Calvin Schermerhorn, who visited The C.O.W.S. earlier this year to discuss his research on how Whites have methodically looted the paltry finances of black people for centuries. He mentioned Hill Edwards brilliant work on the demise of the Freedman's Bank. Established in the wake of the Civil War, the bank was supposed to help bedraggled black people crawl from the plantation and pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Instead, Racist Whites stole millions of dollars from poor black people, yet shrewdly blamed it on Frederick Douglass. Whites used a time-tested Racist Code to accomplish their theft. #RacialShowcasing #RacistCode #INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Adrian Freedman. Adrian recently came into my radar as he was performing in a festival that I knew about. We delayed our talk unit we could meet in person and I'm glad we did. Adrian has a really deep presence and we spoke about his journey being trained in classical music, his learning the Japanese shakuhachi flute and buddhism, his encounter with Santo Daime and ayahuasca, and what he has learned in many decades walking this path. We went over three hours and I really enjoyed speaking with Adrian and trust you all will get a lot out of the depth, wisdom, and clarity of Adrian. Note I had some difficulties with the audio and needed to use voice enhancement so there is some distortion in our voices from time to time, apologies!
