It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, to round up the week in news. First, they run through updates on the ICJ's order to halt Israel's invasion of Rafah (and Israel's subsequent escalation), South Carolina's congressional maps, Ukraine aid, UC workers strikes, the powerlessness of Democratic Senators, Louisiana's abortion pill bill, and Ohio's presidential ballot, before parsing through Trump's overwhelming popularity, at least according to his discussion of crowd sizes and his VP choices. Jeet Heer then joins, jumping right into the incredibly telling rhetoric around the Zionist backlash to The Hague issuing arrest warrants for various Israeli and Hamas leaders, attempting to present International Law as something exclusively for disciplining the global south, particularly in the wake of Biden's election under the pretense of restoring the international rules-based order. Expanding on this, Heer, Sam, and Emma explore how Biden's extreme conservatism on Israel policy has essentially meant a complete continuation of Donald Trump's foreign policy regime in the region, with recent threats against The Hague and the World Food Project laying bare these fascist inclinations. After assessing the long-term implications of Biden's making his extreme foreign policy the center of his reelection battle (whether he likes it or not), Jeet, Sam, and Emma wrap up by dreaming of Democratic Leadership that isn't absolutely petrified of holding Republicans to account. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch a righteous Harvard Grad student use his commencement speech to speak out against the institutional support for Israel's genocidal campaign, discuss the incredible pressure from the country's zionist elite on major public, private, and federal institutions, and listen to Alan Dershowitz's candid opinion on Jewish studies professors. They also discuss the central role Cop City continues to play in Atlanta politics, Mike Johnson's anti-migrant fear-mongering, and dive deep into the Daily Wire's childish ideology, plus, your calls and IMs!

In the latest episode of the Smokey Mirror Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with up-and-coming artist, Mike. The story of how we connected is as serendipitous as it gets. I met Mike at his brother Dave's wedding in St. Louis last weekend. Dave, being my frat brother, meant I had to make the trip to support and celebrate his marriage! During the festivities, another one of my frat brothers mentioned that Dave's brother Mike was not only an artist but a really talented one. Intrigued, I followed Mike on Instagram and planned to check out his music later. Little did I know, I'd get a taste of his talent sooner than expected. At the wedding reception, one of Mike's songs played, and the energy in the room was electric. I knew I had to connect with him. After the song, I went over to him, dapped him up, and invited him to be on my podcast if he was ever in Miami. To my surprise, he told me that he and his girlfriend were actually going to be in Miami that very week! The odds were unbelievable, and we quickly set a date to make the podcast happen. Join us for this episode where Mike shares his journey in music, his inspirations, and what it means to be an artist on the rise. It's an episode with great insights, great vibes, and the power of music. Don't miss it! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/smoke-been-skut/message

Tom reads most of Roberts's SCOTUS opinion on Harvard and UNC admissions and shares his take as an Asian American and Harvard alum.

Her life story takes on many adjectives. Inspring is one. Painful is another. Worldly could say it. But driven would be the word I would use. When you face headwinds, you must put your headdown; Brooke has and continues to do that. A model, a pageant winner, a Catholic, a Muslim, a mother and a wife has prepared her for a career that is completely unique; she motivates the motivators. Working with some of the great self-help motivators like Anthony Robbins, Brooke brings to the table a worldy view of how to move the needle.  I think you will find this a "fascinating" conversation and inspiring too.

As a homeless teenager writing college essays in her rusty Toyota Corolla, Emi Nietfeld was convinced that the Ivy League was the only escape from her dysfunctional childhood. But upward mobility required crafting the perfect resilience narrative. She had to prove that she was an “overcomer,” made stronger by all that she had endured. The truth was more complicated. Emi's mom was a charming hoarder who had her put on antipsychotics but believed in her daughter's brilliance—unlike the Minnesotan foster family who banned her “pornographic” art history flash cards (of Michelangelo's David). Emi's other parent vanished shortly after coming out as trans, a situation few understood in the mid-2000s. Her own past was filled with secrets: mental health struggles, Adderall addiction, and the unbecoming desperation of a teenager fending for herself. And though Emi would go on to graduate from Harvard and become a software engineer at Google, she found that success didn't necessarily mean safety. In this episode, Jess and Jess have a very honest conversation with Emi about what it actually means to overcome- and our obsession with "resilience porn" as a culture. As per usual, the conversation gets a little uncomfortable, as Jess B confronts her own reality: She makes a living sharing about her resilience. The bottom line is that we have to hold space for the complexity in all things- that is something everyone can agree on.Meet Emi:Emi Nietfeld is the author of Acceptance, a memoir from Penguin Press. After graduating from Harvard in 2015, she worked as a software engineer at Google and Facebook.Her essays have appeared in New York Times, Longreads, Vice, and Boulevard, been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, and noted in The Best American Essays 2021. She lives in New York City with her family and is available for select speaking engagements.Support the show

In this case, it was the beginning of a life in Silicon Valley.Host Greg Martin talks with Harvard Grad Nilesh Gonsalves about his decision to leave Canada, the country he loves, and find out what to make of his life.
