Dmitri Stockton is BLACK and Robert Sanchez SOUNDS MEXICAN!US Steel Flags Trump DEI Order as Risk Factor for InvestorsRacist old white guys and tech bros! The order was written, ostensibly, by Stephen Miller, Trump, and Musk, the three horseman of the brownpocolypse, and US Steel is now including Trump's DEI order as a material risk to the companyThe lawyers! The company said in its annual report last year that it aims “to have an engaged and diverse workforce to promote new ideas and innovation, reflect the communities where we operate, and deliver exceptional customer service.” This year, that same sentence omitted a reference to having a “diverse” workforce. That sounds like Duane D. Holloway, chief ethics and compliance officer and general counsel, right?DEI! Duane Holloway… is BLACK! Mr. Holloway serves on the board of directors of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation and Gilman School. He also serves as Executive Sponsor of U. S. Steel's SteelPARENTS Employee Resource Group. That all sounds exceedingly woke and DEIish.The board! US Steel managed to find 8 white males for their 12 person board, 3 white woman, and 1 black woman… so people of color have a whopping 6% influence on the board. It DOES feel risky to talk about them though, right?Walgreens stock plunges. Its dividend payout changes are to blameRoz Brewer! She was a DEI hire after all, right? Can't we pin this on her tenure as fake CEO?Steffano Pessina! The man with 61% of board influence, the man who fired Roz Brewer, the man who we'll find out today won re-election despite cratering the company as executive chair!DEI! Did you see this line in the announcement about the dividend cessation? “In fiscal 2024, WBA scored 100% on the Disability Equality Index for disability inclusion”. SO WOKE.

Who Is Luigi Mangione's Family? Luigi Mangione's arrest in December 2024 sent shockwaves through Maryland's close-knit community. Born on May 6, 1998, Luigi grew up in Towson, Maryland, as the only son of Louis and Kathleen Mangione, a family whose name carries significant weight in Baltimore. With roots deeply embedded in Italian-American heritage, the Mangiones rose from humble beginnings to become a cornerstone of Maryland's business and philanthropic scene. Now, that legacy is under scrutiny as their son stands accused of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Luigi's story cannot be fully understood without exploring the life of his grandfather, Nicholas Mangione. Born to Sicilian immigrants in Baltimore's Little Italy, Nicholas embodied the American dream. Through sheer grit and determination, he built a diversified empire that spanned real estate, healthcare, and media. His portfolio included Lorien Health Services, a chain of nursing homes, and ownership of Baltimore's conservative talk radio station WCBM. Beyond business, Nicholas's philanthropy left an indelible mark on institutions such as the Greater Baltimore Medical Center and Loyola University Maryland. Nicholas's passing in 2008 left the family empire in the capable hands of his son, Louis Mangione. Under Louis's leadership, the Mangione name continued to thrive, expanding Turf Valley Resort, managing Hayfields Country Club, and overseeing numerous commercial ventures. However, the recent events surrounding his son Luigi have cast a shadow over the family's once-pristine reputation. Louis Mangione, born in 1953, was the second of ten children. From a young age, he was immersed in the family business, learning the intricacies of real estate development and management. After earning his degree, Louis took over the family's operations, solidifying their position as one of Maryland's most influential families. His wife, Kathleen, brought a different yet equally impactful dimension to the family's legacy. Kathleen Zannino Mangione, a woman of Italian-American descent, grew up in Baltimore. With a background in business management and computer education, she later transitioned into the tourism industry, founding KZM Boutique Travel. Her company specialized in curated travel experiences, particularly to Italy, blending her professional acumen with her cultural heritage. Kathleen's active involvement in cultural organizations further cemented the family's standing in the community. Together, Louis and Kathleen raised three children: MariaSanta, Luciana, and Luigi. MariaSanta pursued a career in medicine, while Luciana found her passion in visual arts. Luigi, the youngest, showed early promise in academics, graduating as valedictorian from the prestigious Gilman School in 2016 before earning dual degrees in computer engineering and artificial intelligence from the University of Pennsylvania. Luigi's life seemed destined for success. With a brilliant academic record and a keen interest in technology, he appeared poised to carry the Mangione legacy into the modern age. But beneath the surface, cracks began to form. In July 2023, Luigi underwent spinal fusion surgery to address spondylolisthesis, a condition that had caused him significant discomfort. The recovery process was grueling, both physically and mentally. Friends and family noticed a shift in Luigi's demeanor. He became withdrawn, limiting his social interactions and eventually disappearing from social media altogether by the summer of 2024. This period of isolation culminated in November 2024, when Kathleen reported Luigi missing. Believing he was living and working in San Francisco, the family's concern grew as weeks passed with no contact. On December 9, Luigi was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection with the murder of Brian Thompson, leaving his family and community in stunned disbelief. The arrest of Luigi Mangione sent ripples through the tight-knit Baltimore community. The Mangione family, known for their charitable contributions and community involvement, found themselves thrust into an unfamiliar and unwelcome spotlight. In a public statement, Louis and Kathleen expressed their devastation, requesting privacy and prayers for all affected parties. The revelation that Luigi might lose a potential $100 million inheritance due to legal stipulations excluding felons from benefitting only deepened the family's anguish. Despite the challenges, the Mangiones have vowed to support their son through the legal process, maintaining his innocence until proven guilty. For decades, the Mangione name was synonymous with success and generosity. From their early beginnings in Little Italy to their current status as pillars of the community, the family's journey has been one of resilience and growth. Yet, the events of December 2024 have introduced an unprecedented chapter to their storied history, one that intertwines personal tragedy with public scrutiny. As the legal proceedings against Luigi unfold, the Mangione family must confront not only the potential loss of their son but also the impact on a legacy built over generations. The community watches closely, torn between their admiration for the family's contributions and the gravity of the allegations against Luigi. Whatever the outcome, the Mangiones' journey serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of reputation and the complexities of familial bonds. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

From Privilege to Peril: The Chilling Case of Luigi Mangione From Ivy League accolades to being implicated in one of the most chilling crimes of 2024, the story of Luigi Mangione is as perplexing as it is tragic. On December 4, 2024, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down outside a Hilton hotel in Manhattan. In the days that followed, authorities pieced together a chain of evidence that would lead them to the 26-year-old Mangione, a man with no prior criminal record but a life increasingly marked by turmoil. His arrest in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on December 9 shook not only his family but also those who had known him as a promising young professional with everything to lose. The facts, as presented by law enforcement, are as shocking as they are methodical. Surveillance footage placed Mangione near the scene of the crime, and a chilling manifesto found in his possession allegedly outlined grievances against the healthcare industry. Bullet casings recovered from the scene bore inscriptions that read “delay,” “deny,” and “defend”—a grim nod to the language often used to describe the tactics of health insurers. According to the manifesto, Mangione expressed disdain for what he called “systemic greed” and apologized “for any strife or traumas” caused by his actions, which he described as “necessary.” A Legacy of Privilege Born in 1998 into Baltimore's prominent Mangione family, Luigi Nicholas Mangione appeared destined for success. His grandfather, Nicholas Mangione Sr., built a multi-million-dollar real estate empire, and the family's name became synonymous with philanthropy and business acumen. Luigi attended the elite Gilman School, where he graduated as valedictorian in 2016 before earning dual degrees in engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. Friends and colleagues described him as ambitious, intelligent, and reserved, with a deep interest in artificial intelligence and data science. Professionally, Mangione climbed the ranks as a data engineer at TrueCar and was poised for a lucrative career in tech. Yet, behind the accolades, Mangione's life took a darker turn. In mid-2023, he underwent spinal surgery to address spondylolisthesis, a condition causing chronic back pain. While the surgery initially seemed successful, Mangione's online posts revealed ongoing struggles with physical discomfort and cognitive issues, which he attributed to the procedure. By late 2023, his once-active social media accounts fell silent, and friends noted his increasing isolation. His mother's November 2024 missing persons report highlighted this estrangement, suggesting a deepening personal crisis. In the weeks leading up to the murder, Mangione's behavior raised additional red flags. Former colleagues at TrueCar described a once-dedicated worker who had become withdrawn and erratic. His posts on niche online forums revealed a man consumed by frustrations over systemic failures, particularly within the healthcare industry. These grievances culminated in his manifesto, which criticized the U.S. healthcare system for prioritizing profits over patient care and expressed admiration for the United Kingdom's National Health Service. Mangione's writings also delved into broader societal grievances, including concerns about technology's role in diminishing human agency. This perspective, reportedly inspired in part by the Unabomber's manifesto, paints a picture of a man wrestling with ideological disillusionment. The discovery of bullet casings inscribed with the words “delay,” “deny,” and “defend” added a symbolic layer to the crime. This phrase, widely used to describe insurer tactics to avoid paying claims, provided insight into Mangione's motivations. Investigators believe the inscriptions were meant to serve as a grim statement against what he perceived as systemic greed. As authorities delved deeper into Mangione's background, they uncovered a complex individual with conflicting traits. Despite his frustrations, Mangione had previously been an advocate for technology's potential to solve real-world problems. Friends from his university days recalled late-night discussions about artificial intelligence and its ethical implications. However, his fascination with technology's darker side—its potential to erode human autonomy—also became evident over time. His admiration for figures like Ted Kaczynski, albeit tempered by a rejection of violence, hinted at his growing disillusionment. One particularly illuminating piece of evidence was Mangione's online activity in the months leading up to the murder. On various forums, he shared detailed accounts of his chronic pain, frustrations with the healthcare system, and his perception of its failings. He often spoke about how the exorbitant costs and bureaucratic inefficiencies of American healthcare had worsened his quality of life. These posts not only offered a window into his deteriorating mental state but also provided crucial context for investigators attempting to piece together a motive. Friends and acquaintances who had drifted apart from Mangione over the years described their shock at hearing the allegations against him. Some recalled a reserved yet passionate individual, prone to intense discussions about ethics, technology, and societal structures. Others noted a more recent change, describing him as distant and preoccupied. “He seemed to be carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders,” said one former classmate who spoke on condition of anonymity. “It's hard to reconcile the Luigi I knew with the person described in the news.” Unanswered Questions The evidence against Mangione, while compelling, raises more questions than answers. How did a man with so much potential—a valedictorian, a Penn graduate, a data engineer—find himself accused of murder? What role, if any, did his struggles with chronic pain and disillusionment play in his alleged actions? And was this crime the result of a calculated plan or a tragic breaking point? The Mangione family has expressed shock and devastation, offering condolences to Brian Thompson's family while grappling with the implications of Luigi's arrest. “We are devastated by this news,” said his cousin, Maryland State Delegate Nino Mangione, in a public statement. “We ask people to pray for all involved.” Legal Implications and Broader Conversations Legal experts following the case have noted its potential to set significant precedents. The inclusion of terrorism-related charges suggests that prosecutors are framing this as more than a personal vendetta—it's being positioned as an ideologically motivated act. If convicted, Mangione could face life in prison without the possibility of parole. However, his defense team has already signaled their intent to scrutinize his mental health history and argue that his actions, while tragic, were the product of untreated psychological issues exacerbated by chronic pain and systemic failures. As Mangione's legal journey unfolds, it promises to be a high-profile case that will examine not only the evidence but also the psychological and societal factors at play. His decision to waive extradition paves the way for what is expected to be a closely watched trial in New York. Legal experts suggest that the inclusion of terrorism-related charges could set a significant legal precedent, particularly in cases involving ideological motivations. Beyond the legal arena, the case has sparked broader conversations about the intersection of privilege, mental health, and radicalization. How does someone from such a privileged background—with access to elite education, healthcare, and opportunities—end up accused of such a heinous crime? The answer may lie in a complex web of personal struggles, societal pressures, and ideological disillusionment. The courtroom will likely become a stage for broader debates about mental health, societal pressures, and systemic failures. For now, the story of Luigi Mangione serves as a sobering reminder of the complexities behind even the most shocking acts of violence. It is a case that defies easy categorization, blending elements of privilege, pain, and radicalization into a narrative that continues to unfold. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A 26-year-old tech whiz and Ivy League graduate is being questioned in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown last week in what authorities describe as a calculated and targeted attack. Luigi Mangione, of Towson, Maryland, was detained Monday morning at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Law enforcement sources say he was apprehended after customers reported his suspicious behavior. When police arrived, they discovered a gun with a silencer, multiple fake IDs, and a manifesto criticizing the U.S. healthcare system. Mangione has not been charged but is considered a person of interest in the case. Authorities are investigating whether he traveled to Altoona by bus from Philadelphia after fleeing the crime scene in Manhattan. Thompson was killed last week by a masked assailant who approached him from behind at approximately 6:45 a.m. Surveillance footage captured the gunman fleeing on foot and then on a bicycle into Central Park. The suspect was last seen boarding a bus at a depot in Upper Manhattan, prompting a multi-state manhunt. The shooting sent shock waves across corporate and healthcare sectors. Thompson, a prominent figure in the industry, was known for his leadership in one of the nation's largest private healthcare providers. Mangione's manifesto reportedly condemns the healthcare industry for prioritizing profit over patient care. Law enforcement sources suggest that Mangione's animosity may stem from personal experiences, as he lost close relatives in 2013 and 2017. During high school, Mangione worked briefly at an assisted-living facility, an experience that might have shaped his perspective. Authorities also found evidence of Mangione's affinity for anti-capitalist causes and environmental activism. His online activity included approving quotes from Ted Kaczynski, the notorious “Unabomber,” as well as philosophical musings from figures like Socrates and Bruce Lee. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, which is in addition to a $10,000 reward from Crime Stoppers and the NYPD. The incident has sparked debates on the safety of corporate executives and the broader implications of resentment toward the healthcare industry. Online reaction to Thompson's murder has been mixed, with some expressing outrage and others highlighting grievances against private healthcare providers. Law enforcement officials are monitoring these discussions as part of their investigation. Mangione's Background A valedictorian of the prestigious Gilman School in Baltimore, Mangione graduated in 2016 before pursuing artificial intelligence studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Once described as a promising student in computer and cognitive sciences, Mangione's trajectory took a dark turn as he delved into radical ideologies. While authorities believe the shooter acted alone, they are piecing together the timeline of events leading to Thompson's killing. Mangione's motives and whether he has confessed remain unclear. This developing case underscores the intersection of personal grievances, ideological extremism, and violent action, leaving many in shock and mourning over the loss of a corporate leader. Investigators continue to urge anyone with information to come forward. #UnitedHealthcare #BrianThompson #LuigiMangione #HealthcareMurder #Altoona Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

During the no-fans era of college sports in 2021, one name quickly rose to the forefront of college wrestling - Rock Harrison.

In presenting the award at the NAIS Annual Conference in Orlando, NAIS Vice President for Equity and Justice Caroline Blackwell noted the importance of Foreman’s diversity work not just at his school, but also in the broader independent school community and in the public schools of Baltimore.

Foreman is the chair of the Association of Independent Maryland and DC Schools, a member of the NAIS Call to Action Committee, and a facilitator at the NAIS Diversity Leadership Institute.

Growing up in the 90s to teenage parents in the ghettos of Baltimore, school changed my survival rate. That’s absolutely the truth.” Dr. Rodney Glasgow is a product of a childhood in a culturally diverse community on the north east side of Baltimore. He’s also a product of independent and Ivy League schools. He brings deep understanding to the experience of Black students in the United States. We talk about a topic that’s near and dear to both our hearts: diversity, equity and inclusion. What I love about this conversation is that Rodney extends the reach of our liberation work out to a place of belonging. He speaks to the trauma Black students experience when they are included but still don’t belong; when they are excluded and erased even by teachers who love and care for them. And today, in 2020, there is a reckoning happening in our schools. Students are publicly calling out their administrators and educators as sources of harm. Then, Rodney brings us beyond belonging to ownership, something that cannot happen until educators understand and teach the United States’ true history to our students: that the very people fleeing persecution to form a more perfect union were the same who created and perpetuated persecution and trauma from the day they arrived. According to Rodney, we are facing a pandemic of many manifestations, “Americanism.” “We are now who we have always been and that’s what we need to be teaching students. And then look at moments [in our history] when we took major leaps to not be that.”   Rodney and I talked about: His childhood in a multigenerational, multicultural, LGBTQ+-friendly apartment building on the northeast side of Baltimore  How children easily adapt to difference by listening and watching  Rodney’s experience coming out as a gay man in the 90s The role of education in Rodney’s life and how hiding his intelligence resulted from generational educational trauma How education in the US is a vehicle to propel Black kids to success yet results in ongoing trauma  How our country, with its fixation on individualism, is not clear if LIFE even matters What it will take for Black folks to be whole again Going beyond diversity to belonging, and beyond belonging to ownership About Rodney Glasgow Rodney Glasgow is a speaker, facilitator, trainer and activist in the areas of diversity, equity, and social justice.  He has over 20 years of experience in progressive education as an educator, trainer, and administrator for students and faculty in grades kindergarten through post-graduate.

He is one of the founding members and now Chair of the National Association of Independent School’s annual Student Diversity Leadership Conference, a 20 year-old training ground drawing over 1500 high school students nationwide.  Rodney recently launched the National Diversity Practitioners Institute, a summer intensive for diversity practitioners. Rodney is also President of The Glasgow Group, a consortium of dynamic, innovative consultants.  Dr. Glasgow is currently the Head of School at Sandy Spring Friends School in Sandy Springs Maryland and the Founder of the Student Diversity Leadership Conference of the National Association of Independent Schools.
