Podcasts about Freezing

AJ is joined by special guest Lauren Makler, co-founder and CEO of Cofertility, for one of the most honest and eye-opening conversations The Liquidity Event has had to date. Lauren spent almost a decade at Uber before founding Cofertility, a company that helps women freeze their eggs for free when they donate half of the eggs retrieved to intended parents who need an egg donor to have a baby. AJ and Lauren dig into the real economics of egg freezing, what it actually costs in 2026 with and without employer coverage, and why the window in which you benefit most from egg freezing is almost always the window in which you can least afford it. They also get into third-party reproduction, why egg donation is fertility's last taboo, and how Cofertility is flipping the traditional transactional model on its head. The conversation goes deeper from there, covering what it is like to raise money as a woman for a women's health startup, why getting men to actually take their paternity leave might be one of the most powerful things we can do to advance workplace equity, and the biggest misconception Lauren hears about fertility that she wishes she could correct at scale. Topics covered: How Cofertility's split program works and who it is designed for The real cost of egg freezing in 2026 with and without insurance Third party reproduction and why egg donation is fertility's last taboo Freezing eggs vs. freezing embryos and what the science actually says Raising money as a woman for a women's health startup How to pressure your employer to offer better fertility benefits Why equal parenting at home is the key to workplace equity Timestamps: 00:00 Intro and welcome to Lauren Makler, co-founder and CEO of Cofertility 01:37 How Cofertility works and why Lauren founded the company 03:56 Why egg donation pricing felt like surge pricing and how Cofertility changed it 05:35 What egg freezing actually involves, explained simply 08:34 What does egg freezing cost in 2026 with and without employer coverage 11:03 How long can frozen eggs last and what the science says about vitrification 13:30 A real case study of Cofertility's split program in action 19:39 What it is like raising money as a woman for a women's health startup 25:34 How to pressure your employer to offer better fertility benefits 30:33 The biggest misconception about egg freezing, Lauren wishes she could correct

We're told that we can have it all if we time it right: build your career first, then start a family. But what does the medicine actually say? Amanda Goetz sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist at RMA of New York and author of the USA Today bestseller The Lucky Egg. Dr. Lucky busts the biggest fertility myths (no, your fertility doesn't fall off a cliff at 35), explains why so-called "fertility checks" are mostly marketing, and breaks down the real difference between freezing eggs and freezing embryos. She also flips the script on a part of the story we tend to ignore—male-factor infertility, which accounts for roughly half of cases—and why family building is a team sport. Women shouldn't carry all the burden! It's an honest, science-forward, and surprisingly reassuring conversation about the fertility knowledge gap—and how it's okay to not have it all figured out in your 20s. . This episode gets into both the emotional and physical considerations of fertility treatment, and we think it's a worthwhile listen, regardless of what stage of life you might find yourself in—and even if you're undecided on the whole kids thing. Key Takeaways: Fertility doesn't fall off a cliff at 35. It's a gradual continuum, and many women conceive naturally into their 30s and 40s. AMH measures egg count, not fertility, and a low number shouldn't cause panic. Most pop-in or at-home "fertility checks" are marketing. No single test can predict whether you'll struggle to conceive. Start paying attention in your 20s by understanding your cycle and spotting red flags like PCOS or endometriosis. And pay attention to your family history. Freezing eggs and freezing embryos are different—eggs offer more flexibility and stay solely yours, while embryos give clearer answers but need both partners' sign-off. When choosing a clinic, ask about its actual thaw and IVF success rates, not just whether you like the doctor. Male-factor infertility is something we need to talk more about. Every day stress doesn't cause infertility, but insulin resistance is an under-recognized and treatable driver worth checking.

Germany is racing to rearm as the war in Ukraine shakes its sense of security, forcing the country to confront its military past as it strengthens its military might. Correspondent Bill Whitaker observes basic training in northwest Germany and speaks with defense minister Boris Pistorius in Berlin to find out how Germany plans to achieve its aim of building the most powerful armed forces in Europe.  Fertility rates in the United States are currently near historic lows, largely because fewer women are having children in their 20s. As women delay starting families, many are opting for egg freezing, the process of retrieving and freezing unfertilized eggs, to preserve their fertility for the future. Does egg freezing provide women with a way to pause their biological clock? Correspondent Lesley Stahl interviews women who have decided to freeze their eggs and explores what the process entails physically, emotionally and financially. She also speaks with fertility specialists and an ethicist about success rates, equity issues and the increasing market potential of egg freezing.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter Two: Wind, Sigils, and Lightworkers With ShovelsThe EngineIt was the first morning at the Reservoir of Light when Larry's dump truck broke down directly in front of the sand castle.Two days before my birthday gathering, lightworkers were waking up, grabbing shovels, drinking coffee, and preparing to clear the land. Larry had bought the truck the previous October specifically to haul garbage away.Instead, the truck died in a big puff of steam and unmuffled exhaust roaring into silence. Jay, our neighbor, said “That thing's never moving again unless I tow it away”.I would love to explain exactly what happened to the engine, but all I heard was: “oil too full,” “rebuild in a can,” and something about water in the blablabla.On the podcast Larry can explain what any of that actually means, or whether I even heard it correctly.What I did understand was this: we suddenly had piles of garbage, dozens of willing helpers, and nowhere to put anything.Then our neighbor arrived with his work dump truck.The lightworkers filled it to the rim.He drove away, and we thought the problem had been solved.He ended up dumping a full load of trash onto his own land, because the owner of the dumptruck, his boss, needed it before the dump would open. DANG!!The pattern we had noticed on the road was continuing.Fred replaced all four trailer tires for his trip back, “just in case” but still lost a tire. Ash got a flat tire and replaced all four of hers. By the time the gathering ended, we learned that more tire problems happened as people travelled home.Coincidence? Maybe.But it felt increasingly clear that this gathering was not designed for passive passengers.The land demanded participation.Arrival at the LandWe arrived a few days before the guests, well into the evening. Making it there without any more mechanical trouble already felt like a victory.The land itself felt itchy-scratchy.There were abandoned vehicles still needing removal, piles of debris, unfinished cleanup, and the unresolved legal process of transferring the land fully into Larry's and my name.Our neighbor had already worked long and hard helping us clear garbage and remove vehicles, and the difference was enormous. But cleaner is not the same as ready.It became obvious very quickly that last year's initiation into this land was continuing into this year.Some things do not resolve themselves in a single pass.Cleanup BeginsLarry mentioned that on the first day he cooked at the sand castle kitchen, there were only one or two people around to share food with him.The next day there was a line.People organized themselves naturally into groups. Cleaning, organizing, bagging, repairing systems, preparing spaces, hauling debris. Ashley created shared to-do lists, and people quietly took ownership of them without needing direction.I have to tell you, Lightworkers with Shovels are something to experience.The work itself became strangely meaningful. Physical labor, symbolic realizations, coincidences, conversations, discoveries. The land seemed to respond to participation.Off Grid RealityThe Reservoir of Light is completely off-grid. No electricity, water, or sewage systems. Just desert land, wind, dust, generators, batteries, and people trying to make things work together.And the conditions were intense.High winds. Freezing nights. Scorching daytime heat. Dust everywhere. Batteries dying. Coffee emergencies. Water runs. Exhaustion.No one left.Instead, people gathered closer. We had daily Lightning Chats, rock-hounding expeditions, bonfires, night watches, and moments of connection difficult to explain unless you were there.Ashley organized a scavenger hunt for the birthday, Kara helped execute it, and the guests are still talking about it. Martha organized karaoke the night of the celebration and many of us laughed and sang so much we lost our voices.It was hard. It was joyful.And the longer we stayed on the land, the stranger things became.At first the strange things were easy to dismiss.A misplaced object.Something appearing where it should not be.Sounds that did not quite make sense.A feeling that reality itself was becoming slightly less predictable around the edges.But as the days continued, the glitches became harder to ignore.Next week I will share more about all the odd and curious things that started happening all over the land.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

Reactionary movement is the only thing that saves you when a situation turns south. Most people assume that knowing a few moves is enough, but without the muscle memory to back it up, the human brain simply freezes under pressure. We sit down with Kaleb Plank from Inferno Martial Arts to discuss why his program focuses on functional self defense over the sport side of martial arts.We get into the specific tactical advantages of weapons training, the transitive properties of teaching kids to use items like bicycle locks or rakes for safety, and why his hips toward danger philosophy is the first step in any confrontation. Kaleb explains the importance of moving beyond simple pain responses, such as groin strikes, and focusing on turning the lights off for an attacker using thumbs to the eyes and trachea control. We also dive into the reality of rank testing and how intense environments prepare students for real world stress.The unglamorous truth is that even the best training cannot account for every wild card, from multiple attackers to the legal aftermath of a physical altercation. You have to be prepared to defend yourself both physically and legally, understanding that a justified action can still carry heavy social and professional consequences. Walking away with a mindset shift on how to regulate fear is just as important as the physical strike itself.

In this episode, Coleman Ayers explores one of the most important concepts in modern coaching and skill acquisition: degrees of freedom. Drawing from biomechanics, motor learning, and tactical basketball coaching, Coleman breaks down how the number of options available to players directly impacts control, adaptability, creativity, and performance. Using examples ranging from driving on highways to DJ boards to jump shooting mechanics, he explains why too much freedom can create chaos while too little creates robotic players and rigid systems. The conversation then shifts into practical applications for basketball coaches, especially in team offense design, spacing principles, practice planning, and player development. Coleman explains how elite coaching requires balancing structure with freedom — helping players develop decision-making skills without overwhelming them. He discusses constraints-led coaching, small-sided games, progression design, and why coaches should gradually “unfreeze” players' decision-making abilities over time. This episode is a deep dive into how coaches can build adaptable, intelligent players and teams by intentionally managing freedom within practice and competition. Timestamps00:00 — Introduction to the concept of degrees of freedom and why it changes the way coaches should think about basketball01:38 — What the “degrees of freedom problem” means in skill acquisition and movement science02:18 — Highway driving analogy: more freedom creates more adaptability but also more chaos03:36 — DJ board and piano analogies for understanding complexity and coordination04:13 — Applying degrees of freedom to shooting mechanics and joint coordination06:33 — Why traditional form shooting limits degrees of freedom and may reduce transfer to game shooting08:03 — “Freezing” degrees of freedom in beginners and why inexperienced players move rigidly10:00 — How fluid players “unfreeze” movement patterns for more adaptable performance11:28 — Transitioning the concept into team coaching and offensive systems12:22 — The dangers of both chaotic offenses and overly robotic systems13:31 — Using spacing principles to create structure without eliminating player freedom14:36 — The importance of teaching rules before allowing players to creatively break them16:15 — Practice design and progressively increasing degrees of freedom through constraints18:56 — Developing two-man and three-man actions through controlled constraints21:19 — Why coaches should initially overestimate players instead of over-constraining them23:01 — The balance between scripted offenses and principle-based basketball25:13 — Flow offense concepts and teaching players to attack advantages naturally27:08 — Why players struggle when coaches remove all decision-making freedom28:11 — The value of live practice, small-sided games, and representative learning environments29:37 — Using intentional constraints to guide better spacing, shot selection, and decision-making30:31 — Final thoughts on balancing freedom and structure in coaching philosophyResources: Coaches Platform: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/Modern Blueprint: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another coach who's looking to build smarter, more adaptable players.

Make a Logo on Fiverr The Carbinox Edge is a durable smartwatch built for people who work, travel, hike, build, sweat and occasionally put their gear through situations most wearables would never survive. In this first look, the Carbinox Edge gets unboxed, paired, tested and then frozen inside a block of ice for one of the most extreme smartwatch durability tests I have ever done. A Rugged Smartwatch Built for Real Abuse The Carbinox Edge comes across as a smartwatch made for rougher environments. It features a stainless steel body, Gorilla Glass, IP69K protection, 5 ATM water resistance and a 1.96-inch AMOLED display. It is designed for users who want something tougher than a basic fitness watch, especially if they work on construction sites, spend time outdoors or simply want a watch that can handle more abuse than a typical smartwatch. The watch also includes dual-band GNSS with six tracking systems, which means it can track location without relying only on your phone. That could be useful for hiking, job sites, emergency situations or anywhere phone-free tracking matters. What Comes in the Box Inside the box, the Carbinox Edge includes the watch body, a band, a manual, a USB-C charging cable and a proprietary charging base. The charging dock is magnetic and connects to the back of the watch using two contact points. The included band uses quick-release pins, making it easier to attach or swap out. That is a nice touch if you want to change bands or replace one after heavy use. Setup and App Pairing Pairing the Carbinox Edge is straightforward. After powering on the watch, the setup process asks for a language selection and displays a QR code for app pairing. The watch connects through the Carbinox Max app, and once paired, it can show notifications, weather, fitness data, health tracking, watch settings and firmware updates. The watch works with both iPhone and Android devices. During setup, it connected quickly over Bluetooth and displayed battery level, GPS satellite data and watch face options through the app. Display, Battery and Features The Carbinox Edge has a 410-by-502 resolution AMOLED display with 331 PPI and up to 1,000 nits of brightness. That should make it easier to read indoors and outdoors. Battery life is one of the biggest selling points. The watch has a 500 mAh battery, with Carbinox claiming up to 25 days depending on use. In the test, the watch still had plenty of battery before being frozen, and after being removed from the ice, it still powered back on and reconnected. Health and utility features include heart rate, SpO2, sleep, stress, mood, activity tracking, workouts, weather, calls, alarms, music controls and notifications. The Extreme Ice Test Instead of simply scratching the screen, hitting it with a hammer or running it over, this test took a different approach. The Carbinox Edge was frozen inside a block of ice for 24 hours. The idea was to simulate an extreme situation where the watch might be buried, frozen or stuck in a harsh environment. After about 12 to 14 hours, the watch stopped responding to the phone while still frozen. But once it was chipped out of the ice, it powered back on, showed the correct time and reconnected to the phone. Even while wet, the touchscreen still responded. The buttons continued working, and the display showed no visible scratches after additional scraping and impact testing. What Worked Well The biggest win is durability. The Carbinox Edge survived being frozen in ice for a full day, then came back to life after being removed. The screen held up well, the buttons still worked and the watch remained usable even while wet. The long battery life is also a major plus. A durable smartwatch is only useful if it can stay powered long enough to matter, and the Carbinox Edge appears built with that in mind. The display is bright, the body feels rugged and the quick-release band system makes it easier to manage than older watch designs. A Few Issues to Watch There were a couple of issues during use. When traveling to Las Vegas, the phone updated to the new time zone, but the watch did not update until the Carbinox app was opened. That could likely be fixed in a firmware update. Notifications were another concern. The watch did not clearly separate text messages from other app notifications, activity alerts or reminders. Turning off unwanted notifications also affected text alerts. Again, this feels like something that could improve through software updates. Final First Look The Carbinox Edge is an extreme smartwatch for people who need more than basic fitness tracking. It is rugged, bright, long-lasting and surprisingly tough. Freezing it in a block of ice for 24 hours did stop it from responding temporarily, but once it came out, it powered back on and kept working. For anyone looking for a durable smartwatch that can handle harsh conditions, the Carbinox Edge makes a strong first impression.

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast!This week… it feels like crypto just stress-tested itself — and not everything held up.

Freezing can feel like your body hits a hard pause at the exact worst time, mid twist, mid bend, halfway to the thing you're trying to pick up. Travis opens up about what freezing looks like for him, why it doesn't always match the “feet glued to the floor” description, and how he learned to get unstuck without gadgets, panic, or waiting for someone to rescue him. We talk through a simple mindset shift: stop fighting the big movement and find the small part that can still move, then use it to create a safe momentum change.We also get into breakthrough tremor and the messy reality of deep-brain stimulation. DBS can be life-changing, but it's not a set-it-and-forget-it solution, especially after a battery replacement and months of programming tweaks. Travis shares a practical technique he uses to interrupt a growing resting tremor with a deliberate motion, and how he carefully experiments with DBS settings and medication while paying close attention to patterns.The bigger takeaway is self-advocacy with Parkinson's disease.

Eric J. Dolan describes the Falkland Islands as a barren, inhospitable archipelago of constant 18 mph winds and freezing temperatures, frequented by mariners hunting fur seals and elephant seals. The islands became the site of a major disaster when the ship Isabella — sailing from a penal colony in Australia with a volatile mix of crew, marines, and convicts — wrecked on Eagle Island due to the incompetence and intoxication of Captain George Hickton. Although all 54 aboard reached shore alive, they found themselves shipwrecked in a remote wilderness, leading many to descend into despair and alcohol abuse. (2)1833 FALKLANDS

Most hunters think cold weather gear is the problem… It's not. In this episode, Joe Miles breaks down the biggest mistakes that cause hunters to get cold—and how to fix them. From layering incorrectly to sweating on the walk in, these are the details that separate guys who stay all day from those who climb down early. But this episode also carries a heavier message. With Don stepping away to focus on his family during a serious health situation, Joe joins Terry for a real conversation about faith, perspective, and what actually matters. We ask that you keep Don, Robin, and their family in your prayers. In this episode: - The #1 mistake that causes hunters to get cold - How to properly layer for all-day sits - The right way to keep your feet warm - Why sweating ruins your hunt - Joe Miles' upcoming Africa hunt - Listener Q&A on minerals, sheds, and gear - Real talk about faith, family, and community If you've ever cut a hunt short because of the cold—this episode will change how you prepare.

Ralph welcomes international security expert Paul Rogers to discuss the US-Israeli war on Iran. Then, Ralph speaks to constitutional law experts Bruce Fein and John Bonifaz about their upcoming impeachment symposium.Paul Rogers is Emeritus Professor of Peace Studies in the Department of Peace Studies and International Relations at Bradford University, and an Honorary Fellow at the Joint Service Command and Staff College. He is open Democracy's international security correspondent.I think if you look at the war overall, then essentially of the three (I use the term as a crude term) participants, the one that is basically doing most badly is the United States, followed by Israel, followed least by Iran. Relatively speaking, the Iranians (particularly the Revolutionary Guard Corps) are closer to where they wanted to be, which is not true of the United States and certainly isn't true to a very large extent of the Israelis as well. In other words, the war is going badly. for the people who are determined to try and defeat Iran.Paul RogersPeople tend to think Iran is on its own against these huge odds. Well, it isn't. In many ways, certainly Russia and certainly China have a real interest in what is happening. But as far as China is concerned, they will not help directly. They will not, in other words, as far as we know, arm Iran without payment. They will see them as a reasonable customer. I think (more widely than we realize) as far as you get away from D.C., then I think you see the world in a rather different way, particularly across the global south it is certainly seen in a different way…And I would come back to a point which I think is a fair point made earlier—essentially, the Iranian Republican Revolutionary Guard Corps has been working towards this time for decades. And they will not be easily dislodged. It could happen eventually, but I think it's highly unlikely.Paul RogersJohn Bonifaz is a constitutional attorney and the co-founder and president of Free Speech For People. Mr. Bonifaz previously served as the executive director and general counsel of the National Voting Rights Institute, and as the legal director of Voter Action. He is the author of Warrior-King: The Case For Impeaching George W. Bush and the co-author (with Ron Fein and Ben Clements) of The Constitution Demands It: The Case For The Impeachment of Donald Trump.Threatening to execute members of Congress is unique to Trump. Kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to foreign torture prisons is unique to Trump. Freezing public funds that have been duly appropriated by the United States Congress and not distributing those funds is unique to Trump. Attacking the United States judiciary, refusing to comply with multiple court orders issued by federal courts across the country is unique to Trump. Engaging in these murders on the high seas…these paramilitary attacks on people in the Pacific and in the Caribbean is unique to Trump. Now, it's true that there have been other violations of the War Powers Clause…But the scale of the War Powers violations today is unique to Trump. And this current new, illegal, and unconstitutional war against Iran is threatening the entire world. And so I think that whether they be Democrats or Republicans or Independents, they have to wake up and recognize they have a duty here.John BonifazBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.Ralph, me and John have been trying to impeach Presidents—Democrat, Republican—for decades for these illegalities. The idea that we picked out Trump is absurd. Look at my history. Half of my life has been devoted to getting Presidents impeached and removed from office…So the idea that this is partisan, at least among us, is factually absurd.Bruce FeinI think we need to be even more candid about the nature of the crimes. This is not just illegal wars under the Constitution. He is committing the crime of aggression, the same crime that we sentence Nazis to death at Nuremberg for committing aggression against Poland, against Denmark, against Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, etc.Bruce FeinThis is what is defined as a dictator by any ordinary use of the English language. We need to get away from “authoritarian,” “Oh, he's pushing the envelope.” This is what dictators do. He stated, “I can do anything I want.” And he does it. He kills people. He deports them without due process. He spies on them. He suppresses free speech by using the government to penalize anyone who says anything that's critical, detracts from Mr. Trump. I mean, it is impossible to conceive of the framers thinking anyone like Donald Trump, given his words and his actions, would remain in office more than a fortnight if Congress was doing its duty.Bruce FeinNews 4/3/26* This week, the Trump administration backed down and allowed the Russian oil tanker Anatoly Kolodkin to pass through the American blockade and deliver a shipment of 730,000 barrels of oil to Cuba. The AP writes, the shipment could produce about 180,000 barrels of diesel, enough to feed Cuba's daily energy demand for nine or 10 days. Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío commented on the situation, “The arrival of an oil tanker to a country has likely never generated so much news as the Russian one to Cuba…It's a sign of the brutal siege Cubans endure with heroism and stoicism. It's a demonstration of the criminal cruelty of imperialism against a nation that refuses to be dominated.” Trump's public statements on the matter however loom ominously over the island nation. On Sunday night, Trump told reporters “Cuba's finished…whether or not they get a boat of oil, it's not going to matter.”* In more news of Trump backing down, or “chickening out” as the saying goes, the Wall Street Journal reports that Trump is telling his inner circle that he is willing to end the military operation in Iran without reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, he wants the U.S. to stick to its original 4-6 week timeline and focus on “hobbling Iran's navy and its missile stocks…while pressuring Tehran diplomatically.” This report adds that if this fails, Trump plans to “press allies in Europe and the Gulf to take the lead on reopening the strait.” This aligns with Trump's recent statements on Truth Social, telling allies like the UK to “Go get your own oil!” With all of this said, Trump has sent the USS Tripoli and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit to the region, is weighing the deployment of another 10,000 ground troops, and is considering a “complex and risky mission to seize the regime's uranium,” all while calling the war an “excursion” and “a lovely stay.”* Meanwhile, 25 Senate Democrats have signed a letter by Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia requesting that Senator Roger Wicker, the Republican Chairman of the Armed Services Committee launch a bipartisan probe – complete with hearings and a report – into the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School for girls in Minab, Iran at the beginning of the war. This letter notes that the majority of those killed were girls between ages seven and 12. Moreover, this letter implies that the Pentagon chose this target based on wildly outdated intelligence, raising grave questions about the competence of the military apparatus. While several high-ranking Democrats signed this letter, including Dick Durbin and Cory Booker, along with progressives like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's name is nowhere to be found.* Elsewhere in the region, the Israeli Knesset has passed a new law effectively proscribing the death penalty exclusively to Palestinians. Human Rights Watch states “the bill imposes the death penalty for the deliberate killing of a person with the intention of negating the existence of the State of Israel.'” HRW adds that the new law “mandates execution by hanging, restricts access to legal counsel and visits from family members, limits external oversight, and grants immunity to those involved in carrying out executions.” In a piece calling for the immediate repeal of this law, Erika Guevara-Rosas of Amnesty International writes “By authorizing military courts, which have a conviction rate of over 99% for Palestinian defendants and which are notorious for disregarding due process and fair trial safeguards, to impose effectively mandatory death sentences and ordering the execution within just 90 days of the final ruling, Israel is brazenly granting itself carte blanche to execute Palestinians while stripping away the most basic fair-trial safeguards.” In an interview with CNN, Mustafa Barghouti said this law “confirms very serious fascist tendencies in Israel” and “consolidates further the system of apartheid.”* Anti-Palestinian extremism continues to grow within the United States as well. Al Jazeera reports that last week, domestic law enforcement “foiled a plot against prominent Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani in New York City.” Kiswani is the founder of Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestine and anti-Zionist group active in the City. The suspect, apprehended by the FBI in an undercover operation, has been identified as a New Jersey man named Andrew Heifler, a young man affiliated with an offshoot of the far-right Jewish Defense League (JDL), described as an extremist group with a history of violent attacks targeting Arab American activists during the 1970s and 1980s. Heifler was reportedly planning to target Kiswani's home with Molotov cocktails. Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the plot, saying “We will not tolerate violent extremism in our city. No one should face violence for their political beliefs or their advocacy…Our city must meet hate with solidarity, and meet fear with an unshakable commitment to justice and to one another.” Kiswani vowed that she “will not stop speaking up for the people of Palestine.”* Also in New York, Congresswoman and possible 2028 presidential candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a private meeting with the powerful local branch of the Democratic Socialists of America. During this meeting AOC was asked whether she would support the imposition of an arms embargo on Israel. According to City and State NY, AOC affirmed that she would and stated that “The Israeli government should be able to finance their own weapons if they seek to arm themselves.” Pressed on whether she would vote against so-called defensive capabilities – namely the Iron Dome – Rep. Ocasio-Cortez definitively answered “yes.” This marks an evolution of her position; AOC previously voted “present” on a bill to provide $1 billion in funding for the Iron Dome in 2021. Many read this as an acknowledgment from AOC that the politics of this issue have shifted, particularly on the Left, and in order to shore up her progressive support she needs to stake out a bold position now.* Turning to the international progressive movement, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who has led Spain in a Leftward direction since 2018 despite the rise of the European Right is convening a summit of progressive forces in Barcelona slated for April 17th and 18th. Sánchez, who has chaired the Socialist International since 2022, emphasized that the Right has “for years woven a network of alliances to propagate their national populist discourses adapted to each country,” and stressed that the Left must do the same to remain politically viable, per El País. Notable attendees include Brazilian President Lula, outgoing Colombian President Gustavo Petro and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. There have been many attempts to unite the international Left, with mixed results, but it is never too late to try.* In our final story on the international Left, the New Democratic Party of Canada – the country's third largest and most progressive major party – has selected former journalist and activist Avi Lewis as their new leader, the BBC reports. This story notes that Lewis' elevation comes in the context of the NDP suffering a steep decline in recent years, going from the main opposition party in 2011, to holding just six seats in Canada's House of Commons today. Lewis – grandson of one of the party's founding members and son of Stephen Lewis, who led the Ontario NDP and served as the Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations – ran on a platform designed to revive the struggling party by “prioritising worker rights in the age of artificial intelligence, ending new oil and gas pipelines and projects, and exploring state-owned, non-profit grocery stores.” Despite his illustrious lineage, Lewis holds no seat in parliament and therefore cannot participate in official debates. The NDP faces an uphill climb not only back to power but even to relevance. According to this story, “a quarter of past voters…see the party as ‘irrelevant'...and 40% say its best days are behind it.”* In Los Angeles, a shocking new poll shows City Councilmember Nithya Raman, who entered the race at the last possible moment, in a commanding lead. In this poll, Raman drew 33% support, with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass trailing at 17%, statistically tied with another insurgent progressive candidate, Rae Huang. Other candidates – tech executive Adam Miller and former reality television personality and registered Republican Spencer Pratt – round out the field with 13% and 12% respectively. This poll appears to be an outlier. Other recent polls have shown Bass at 20% to Raman's 9%, and Bass at 25% with Raman at 17%. But, if this poll is accurate, it would be a stunning testament to the success of Raman's campaign thus far and a massive warning signal to Bass. If the Mayor slips any further, she could find herself locked out of the general election by Los Angeles' top-two “jungle primary” structure. This from the LA Times.* Finally, we turn to the world of professional sports. This week, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar introduced the Home Team Act, which, if passed, would require the owners of major league sports teams to allow local communities the option to buy a team before unilaterally relocating across state lines or to a different metro area. This announcement sent ripples through the sports world, with many fans excited by the prospect of keeping their home teams at home. ABC7 Chicago notes that “Sanders specifically mentioned the Bears' threat to leave Chicago,” while the San Diego Union-Tribune believes this bill could keep the Padres in San Diego despite multiple offers to sell. San Diego has been particularly sensitive to this threat since the Chargers left for LA in 2017. In the press conference announcing this bill, Bernie unsubtly displayed the jerseys of the Brooklyn Dodgers, his hometown team, which famously relocated to Los Angeles ahead of the 1958 baseball season.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
