From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Alex Bregman has immediately become perhaps the most important presence in the Red Sox' clubhouse already this season. It is a dynamic that brings back memories of when Dustin Pedroia was wearing the same uniform, which is what makes Bregman's longtime admiration of the former second baseman even more interesting. Bradfo catches up with the new Red Sox to talk about the origins and motivations when it comes to Pedroia emerging as his favorite player.

We live in a world where we hang on the words of our favorite celebrity or influencer. If they say we should get this product, we buy it. If they say we should do XYZ, we do it. But is this really who we should be listening to? Should we take every word they say as truth--even Christian influencers and Pastors? On this episode of Everyday Theology, Ravae shares with us some of the dangers that can come from who we follow and sometimes ultimately idolizing over God.Resources:Celebrities for Jesus | https://bit.ly/3W7CRhRSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Verfassung regelt die politische und rechtliche Grundordnung der USA – ist aber auch über 200 Jahre alt. Wie kann man ein so altes Dokument auf die moderne Rechtsprechung anwenden? Diese Frage sorgt in den USA für eine Spaltung in zwei Denkschulen – die zum Beispiel im Fall von Jamie aufeinander treffen. Tong-Jin und Ciani blicken in dieser Folge auf die Entstehungsgeschichte der Verfassung. Und auf ihre Stärken, Schwächen und Widersprüchlichkeiten. Letztere zeigen sich zum Beispiel in einem Sorgerechtsstreit, der – so die Auffassung mancher – die Souveränität eines indigenen Volkes bedrohen könnte.

Some Americans fear the Federal Constitution falls short in addressing democratic threats, yet it's long been revered for its ideals of liberty and equality. Join us at Town Hall Seattle for a discussion with Aziz Rana, Michael Hardt, and Jaleh Mansoor about Rana's book, The Constitutional Bind, exploring how this flawed document gained mythic status and its impact on society. Rana contends this reverence emerged in the 20th century alongside US global dominance, shaping both domestic and foreign policy. Discover how this cultural phenomenon has hindered meaningful change while silencing an array of movement activists — in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics — who struggled to imagine different constitutional horizons. Gain insights into alternative constitutional futures at this thought-provoking event in collaboration with Red May. Aziz Rana is an American legal scholar and author who currently serves as Richard and Lois Cole Professor of Law at Cornell University specializing in American constitutional law. Michael Hardt teaches political theory in the Literature Program at Duke University. He is co-author, with Antonio Negri, of the Empire trilogy and, most recently, Assembly. He is co-director with Sandro Mezzadra of The Social Movements Lab. Jaleh Mansoor is an associate professor of art history at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, where she teaches modern and contemporary art history with an emphasis on Post WWII European art. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Red May. Buy the Book The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document That Fails Them Third Place Books  

Today we speak with legal scholar and historian Aziz Rana about his deep study into the ways the Constitution has been critiqued, reimagined, and adapted from liberal, conservative, radical, progressive, decolonial, and other groups since its inception. What emerges from his book is a demystification of a document that is both durable and malleable, conservative at its core but open to both radical challenges and appropriation—a true site of contestation.Aziz Rana is a professor of law at Boston College Law School, where his research and teaching center on American constitutional law and political development. In particular, his work focuses on how shifting notions of race, citizenship, and empire have shaped legal and political identity since the founding. Rana's first book, The Two Faces of American Freedom (Harvard University Press) situates the American experience within the global history of colonialism, examining the intertwined relationship in American constitutional practice between internal accounts of freedom and external projects of power and expansion.  His new book, The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document that Fails Them (University of Chicago Press, 2024), explores the modern emergence of constitutional veneration in the twentieth century -- especially against the backdrop of growing American global authority -- and how veneration has influenced the boundaries of popular politics. Aziz Rana has written essays and op-eds for such venues as n+1, The Boston Review, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Dissent, New Labor Forum, Jacobin, The Guardian, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Nation, Jadaliyya, Salon, and The Law and Political Economy Project.  He has articles and chapter contributions published or forthcoming with Yale and Oxford University Presses, The University of Chicago Law Review, California Law Review, UCLA Law Review, Texas Law Review, and the Yale Law Journal Forum, among others.

Sam Goldman recaps the events of this past week including the totally illegitimate "debate" debacle between Trump and Biden, plus the slew of despotic rulings from the Trump's unelected "Supreme" Court. Then, Sam interviews legal scholar and author Aziz Rana to take a deeper look at U.S. Constitution and its veneration to understand how it has supported the rise and preservation of Trump. He currently serves as Provost's Distinguished Fellow and J. Donald Monan, S.J., University Professor of Law and Government at Boston College Law School, specializing in American constitutional law. His work focuses on how shifting notions of race, citizenship, and empire have shaped legal and political identity since the founding. Aziz is the author of The Two Faces of American Freedom.

In a pathbreaking retelling of the American experience, Aziz Rana shows that today's reverential constitutional culture is a distinctively twentieth-century phenomenon. Rana connects this widespread idolization to another relatively recent development: the rise of US global dominance. Ultimately, such veneration has had far-reaching consequences: despite offering a unifying language of reform, it has also unleashed an interventionist national security state abroad while undermining the possibility of deeper change at home. Revealing how the current constitutional order was forged over the twentieth century, The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document That Fails Them (U Chicago Press, 2024) also sheds light on an array of movement activists—in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics—who struggled to imagine different constitutional horizons. As time passed, these voices of opposition were excised from memory. Today, they offer essential insights that Rana reconstructs to forward an ambitious and comprehensive vision for moving past the constitutional bind. Aziz Rana is a Professor and Provost's Distinguished Fellow at Boston College Law School and the incoming J. Donald Monan, S.J., University Professor of Law and Government (beginning 2024).

There's a difference between wealthy and rich. Wealthy is quiet, rich is loud & bragging. In this social media world, people can be anything they want to be, and often times the images of wealth get confused with real wealth. Unless your brand is about wealth, there should be no reason to use images or posts to falsely portray an image of a life you don't live. Inevitably, someone will buy your product or service in the hopes that they too can achieve the wealthy you show. But when it's not real, it leads to disappointment, anger and sometimes threat of being sued for false advertisement. In this episode I break down the difference and how to prevent sending the wrong messages on social media.

Aziz Rana, author of  The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document that Fails Them, on how our founding document constrains democracy The post The Constitutional fetish appeared first on KPFA.

Donald and Luke talk with Aziz Rana about his latest book, The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document That Fails Them. Rana discusses why constitutional veneration has remained (for now) "a naturalized, unremarked-upon feature” of American life despite the Constitution's flagrantly undemocratic nature. Along the way, he touches on the Socialist Party of America's constitutional skepticism, the impact of war and foreign revolutions on constitutional ideology, and the risks and rewards of our current moment. Rana integrates the lives of several important people, including Crystal Eastman, W.E.B DuBois, Eugene Debs, Afemi Shakur, and Charles Beard.

>> AI Generated: The conflict between the people ofialoh and the people of Banu Israel led to the deaths of the people and the weakenings of the people ofialoh. The followers of theippedidist movement and their belief in Allah's teachings are important drivers of the new Islam culture.

Instead, the leaders of Israel and Judah fall prey to their wickedness, and the Lord removes His protection.

Though it happened many centuries ago, the lessons of 2 Kings are still relevant today: God wants to be our first king, not the second. Join Horizon as we go verse by verse through this dynamic book.
