Good morning. When societies argue about definitions, it can sound technical, the sort of debate lawyers or policymakers care about. But definitions are about something deeper. They show what a society is prepared to recognise, and what it refuses to ignore. This week the government introduced a non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hostility. Predictably, the conversation has turned to questions of free speech and its limits. Those are important questions. But definitions of prejudice carry another purpose. They tell us whose dignity we are prepared to defend. As a rabbi, I hear these debates with particular sensitivity. Jewish history contains long periods when hostility towards Jews was so normal it barely needed a name. The word antisemitism only entered common language in the nineteenth century, though the prejudice itself was far older. Naming something does not solve it. But it does change the silence around it. I was thinking about that while sharing an Iftar meal during Ramadan. Around the table were Muslims, Jews and others, gathered to break the fast together. Among them was Maoz Inon, an Israeli peace activist whose story carries immense grief. On October 7th his parents were killed when Hamas attacked their home in southern Israel. Many people in his position might understandably turn inward. Instead Maoz has chosen something more demanding: continuing to work for a shared future between Israelis and Palestinians, insisting humanity must survive even deep violence .What struck me that evening was the atmosphere in the room. Everyone arrived with a strong sense of who they were, Muslim, Jewish, secular. No one was asked to soften their identity in order to sit together. In Jewish tradition there is a phrase, b'tzelem Elohim, that every human being is created in the image of God. If every person carries that divine imprint, dignity is not something we negotiate depending on who we agree with. It becomes something we are bound to protect in one another. The debate about anti-Muslim hatred is therefore not only about Muslims. It is about the kind of country we are still trying to become. A Britain confident enough to protect open debate, but serious enough to recognise when prejudice corrodes our common life. Around that Iftar table it felt possible to glimpse that Britain. Not one where difference disappears, but one where faith and identity are brought honestly into the room. Because perhaps the real contribution of religion in public life is this: the insistence that dignity is not a limited resource. And that a confident Britain will be built not by setting identities aside, but by bringing the best of them into the same room.

Tune in to the Dominic Carter Show for a fiery, no-holds-barred take on the day's most explosive headlines. In this episode, Dominic pulls no punches, blaming the policies of the Biden and Obama administrations for a frightening wave of recent terror attacks in Virginia and Michigan. The outrage then shifts to New York City, where Dominic and his fired-up callers absolutely slam the mayor for transforming the historic City Hall Blue Room into a Muslim prayer space, complete with rugs and a catered Iftar dinner. Packed with heated debates, frantic callers getting mercilessly cut off, and Dominic's signature unfiltered commentary, this episode asks the ultimate question: is this our new way of life?

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid speaks on Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosting an Iftar service at City Hall to break the fast for Ramadan, followed by a report on NYC Comptroller Mark Levine testifying at the first City Council budget hearing that the city lost 38,000 private-sector jobs and faces a projected $7.3 billion two-year budget gap; he opposes raising property taxes, supports changing the state local-aid formula, and is cautious about taxing millionaires and corporations, while City Hall says the budget director will testify later because he is fasting for Ramadan. Sid then criticizes CNN's framing and on-air wording about the ISIS-inspired terrorist attack outside Gracie Mansion last weekend, before he mocks the women of The View for claiming that the Iran war was launched by President Trump to distract from other stories such as “Savannah Guthrie” and the Epstein files. Andrew Giuliani, Arthur Aidala, Bill O'Reilly, Caroline Glick, Darrin Porcher & Joe Benigno join Sid on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.

"Tu as déjà remarqué comment, à l'iftar, on remplit la table… puis on remplit la poubelle ?Et si je te disais que ce gaspillage n'est pas seulement dans l'assiette… mais aussi dans l'âme ?Dans cet Épisode 7 de la série Ramadan – sur Boussole, on parle d'un sujet très concret : Iktisat (économie / mesure), non pas comme “avarie”, mais comme éducation du cœur.Ramadan ne t'apprend pas juste à comprendre la faim : il t'apprend à recevoir les bienfaits avec respect, gratitude, et équilibre.À travers l'histoire de Yassine, tu vas voir comment : • l'iftar peut devenir une performance de consommation • la surabondance cache parfois une peur intérieure de manquer • l'iktisat peut te rendre plus léger, plus disponible pour la prière, plus reconnaissant… et même plus responsable envers la Terre.On relie aussi tout ça à une idée moderne et puissante : la “foi verte” — prendre soin de la création par cohérence spirituelle.⸻✅ Dans cette vidéo, tu vas découvrir • Pourquoi “trop préparer” peut devenir un piège spirituel • Ce que signifie Iktisat : la mesure qui libère (pas la privation) • Comment passer de “table instagrammable” à “table de miséricorde” • 3 gestes simples pour réduire le gaspillage sans te frustrer • Comment la gratitude devient comportement, pas seulement un mot⸻

I am a guest at a couple of Iftars this month.  The Iftar is Muslim tradition of breaking of the daily fast at the end of each day of Ramadan.  This year for the first time in decades Ramadan coincides with the Christian season of Lent, and both of our traditions engage in a season […]

Ramadan arrives, and Muslims prepare for fasting, Suhoor, and Iftar. But some enter this blessed month carrying a quiet pain, a longing to fast while being unable to do so. Illness, pregnancy, weakness, medication, or old age may prevent a person from fasting, leaving them wondering: What is my place in Ramadan? Am I missing out? In this episode , we reflect on a soul-stirring reality about Ramadan that many people who can't fast overlook - a reality that can completely change how a believer sees their place in this blessed month. Because sometimes the door you think is closed… is not the door Allah intended for you to enter.

Jer Staes is joined by co-hosts Devon O'Reilly and Norris Howard for a wide ranging talk about food, faith, politics, and Detroit's future.​ What we talk about​ Devon went to Dearborn for Mayor Abdullah Hammoud's Unity Iftar dinner during Ramadan and talks about what Iftar is, who was in the room, and how it felt to see an Imam and a priest share very similar prayers.​ The crew gets into why learning about other cultures in Metro Detroit can break down fear and hate, and why showing up when you are invited matters.​ Jer visited the new Detroit 75 Kitchen brick and mortar spot, talks about the giant portions, the menu, the space, and why it feels like the start of a bigger concept.​ Norris checks in after a whirlwind trip to Washington, D.C. for the State of the Union, riding the underground tram at the Capitol, and trying to talk with members of Congress while votes keep getting moved around.​ The table digs into the "weird" mood in D.C., the feeling that we are at the end of an era, and how broken national leadership and media bubbles spill down into local politics.​ We respond to listener feedback on Michigan's slide in education and economic numbers, why covering bad data is not "being negative," and a listener question about Chinatown gets into a bigger conversation about population loss and where capital follows growth — and that the city has lost a lot of the middle class since 2000, a fact that continues even with recent popultion upticks. That loss has real impacts on what businesses can survive in that aftermath.​ ​We close on the tight Michigan governor's race, why early polls show a true toss up, why no major candidate is dropping out, and what Governor Whitmer's low key State of the State might say about her next move.​​ Support and follow​ Sign up for the Daily Detroit newsletter: https://www.dailydetroit.com/newsletter/ Become a member to support local coverage: https://www.patreon.com/DailyDetroit Feedback: ​dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or leave a voicemail, 313-789-3211 Follow us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get shows for future episodes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-detroit/id1220563942

On Thursday, a community of writers came together to break the Ramadan fast, also known as Iftar, and held a public reading at Baba's Hummus House in Minneapolis. The event was organized by Mizna, which promotes the work of Arab and Southwest Asian and North African artists. Two artists shared more about the gathering on Minnesota Now — Nikki Luna, a Lebanese-American genderqueer poet and organizer of the event, and Nader Helmy, a Cairo-born, Minnesota-raised writer.

Africa Melane speaks to Rezaan Mahomed, Investment Analyst at 27four Investment Managers, one of the key supporters of the event, about what visitors can expect and the growing significance of Boeka innie Bo-Kaap in the Cape Town calendar. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist.

Bismillah,Hati-hati, Jangan Sampai Rugi saat Bukber(Be careful not to make a loss during the iftar gathering)Ustadz Muhammad Nuzul Dzikri -Hafizhahullah-

Tháng ăn chay Ramadan linh thiêng đang diễn ra, với người Hồi giáo trên khắp thế giới tổ chức Iftar, là ngày đầu tiên của thời kỳ nhịn ăn. Tại Úc, các địa điểm đang phục vụ số lượng người tham gia ngày càng tăng, mở cửa đến tận sau khi mặt trời lặn và đến tận sáng sớm hôm sau.

Mwezi mtukufu wa Ramadan ume anza, Waislamu kote duniani wakisherehekea Iftar katika siku ya pili ya kipindi cha mfungo.

During Ramadan, many Muslims struggle to maintain their diet, fitness, and overall health due to altered daily routines, indulgent foods, and additional rituals. Professional fitness trainer and nutritionist Saniya Kiyani shares expert advice for Muslims in Australia on maintaining fitness while fasting — listen to this podcast to learn more. - رمضان میں مسلم خواتین اضافی ذمے داریوں کے باعث اپنی غذا، فٹنس اور صحت پر توجے نہیں دے پاتیں۔ پروفیشنل فٹنس ٹرینر اور نیوٹریشنسٹ ثانیہ کیانی آسٹریلیا میں تارکینِ وطن خواتین کو روزوں کے ساتھ فٹنس برقرار رکھنے کے لئے کیا ماہرانہ مشورے دیتی ہیں، سنئے اس پوڈکاسٹ میں۔

The holy month of Ramadan is underway, with Muslims around the world marking Iftar - the first day of the fasting period. In Australia, venues are catering to the growing number of observers, opening their doors until long after sunset and into the early hours of the morning.

In an interview on Sky News on Monday, 16 February, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson said there were, in her words "no good Muslims," and suggested future generations would suffer if more followers of the religion were allowed into Australia. Senator Hanson has now partially walked back on the comments, but has refused to offer a full apology. While, the backlash against her comments continues from all sides of politics, Australia's Islamophobia envoy has invited Senator Hanson to an Iftar dinner during the holy month of Ramadan, where he encourages her to ask questions directly.

Aquest dimecres ha estat el primer dia de la celebració del ramadà. Una celebració que s'allargarà fins al 19 de març. El ramadà és el novè mes del calendari islàmic, el més important i un dels períodes més significatius en la vida dels musulmans. A banda de practicar el dejuni diari, anomenat sawm i que va des de l'alba fins a la posta de sol, és un temps d'introspecció, oració i convivència, que transforma la rutina diària dels que el practiquen. Ho ha explicat la musulmana lloretenca Chaima El Habti, que assenyala que la pràctica del ramadà porta diversos beneficis. “Durant aquest període, els musulmans s’abstenen de menjar, beure, fumar i mantenir relacions sexuals, per fomentar l’autoreflexió i l’espiritualitat”Chaima El Habti Durant tot el mes, s'acudeix a la mesquita a dos quarts de set de la tarda, quan s'acaba el dejuni, i, tot seguit, es fa un gran àpat tots plegats. El ramadà acaba amb una gran festa similar al Nadal, que s'anomena Iftar, en què van a la mesquita, mengen plegats i es fan regals els uns als altres, especialment els homes a les dones i als més petits de la casa. A les comarques gironines es calcula que hi ha més de 100.000 musulmans que practiquen el ramadà. En aquest sentit, Chaima El Habti demana respecte per totes les mesquites que hi ha aquí, igual que els musulmans tenen respecte al Marroc amb les esglésies que hi ha allà.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has partially walked back anti-Muslim comments she made earlier this week, but has refused to offer a full apology. The backlash against Senator Hanson's comments continues from all sides of politics, with Labor and Coalition politicians condemning the remarks. Australia's Islamophobia envoy has invited Senator Hanson to an Iftar dinner during the holy month of Ramadan, where he encourages her to ask questions directly.

The Pope has been marking a historic Christian anniversary during his visit to Turkey - and on Sunday is heading to Lebanon, just days after Israeli airstrikes on its capital, Beirut. A key moment of the trip has been in the Turkish town of Iznik, the site of the ancient city of Nicaea. Pope Leo and leaders of other Christian traditions gathered to mark the anniversary of an ancient council that took place there 1,700 years ago. In 325 AD, among other key decisions, more than 200 bishops at the council affirmed the belief that Jesus was the son of God, eventually leading to what is known as the Nicene Creed. We hear the latest from his trip to the region.Islamophobic incidents at football grounds have reached record highs in recent years, according to the anti-racism charity Kick it Out. Now more Premier League clubs are introducing dedicated prayer rooms, with some hosting Iftar celebrations on the pitch. In September, Djed Spence also became the first Muslim player to represent the England men's national team. In the latest sign of progress, this weekend the Chelsea Muslim Supporters faced the Manchester United Muslim Supporters in the first match of its kind.Following on from the Songs of Praise list of people's favourite school hymns, we hear about what the hymn writing process from Northern Irish composer, Keith Getty, who received a Grammy nomination for the contemporary hymn 'In Christ Alone'.

“. . . [The Trump administration is] using Palestine. They are using the pretext of antisemitism and combating antisemitism to go after us because they know that this is the weakness of the Democratic party. When they go to the universities, they start with combating antisemitism, but then the second ask would be to abolish all DEI programs, to sanitize the history on slavery and the inception of America. And the list goes on and on and on.” - Mahmoud KhalilDescription: Mahmoud Khalil was coming home from an Iftar dinner with his pregnant wife on March 8, 2025 when he was detained without a warrant and transported 1,500 miles to a Louisiana detention camp. A negotiator for the 2024 pro-Palestine student protests at Columbia University, Khalil was a legal permanent resident who'd committed no violence or crime; his abduction shocked the world. The Trump administration was seeking to expel Khalil, not for his acts, but for his otherwise legal “beliefs, statements and associations” which Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote in short letter, would “compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest.” A New Jersey federal judge threw out that case and Khalil was released after 104 days in detention, but the backlash keeps on coming. In this courageous conversation, Mahmoud Khalil joins Laura Flanders to discuss the night of his terrifying detainment, the “Palestinian Exception” and the case brought against him by the Trump administration. They are alleging errors on his green card application and have ordered Khalil to be deported — possibly to Algeria or Syria where his life would be under threat. Despite the risks of deportation, Mahmoud Khalil continues to speak out, and he and his legal team have filed a civil rights lawsuit with the U.S. District Court of New Jersey against the Trump administration to challenge his arrest and detention by ICE. Join Khalil and Flanders as they ask why the question of Palestine is a test for U.S. democracy — and one we are failing.“People mistakenly think that what's happening is far from their doors. They think that this would never happen to them, because of their social status, because of their ethnicity or any of that. But what's happening around us should alarm us . . . It's not about that the U.S. is becoming authoritarian. It is authoritarianism now.” - Mahmoud KhalilGuest:  Mahmoud Khalil, Human Rights AdvocateUPDATE - since this interview was recorded-  “The recent decision by a federal court in Massachusetts in the AAUP v. Rubio case confirms what Mahmoud has maintained all along: that Trump administration officials have acted in concert to suppress and silence anti-genocide, pro-Palestinian speech, in violation of the First Amendment. We look forward to the remedies that court will order and to pursuing Mahmoud's own separate and ongoing federal court challenge to this unconstitutional policy.”  -Ramzi Kassem, co-director of CLEAR, and one of the lawyers representing Mahmoud Khalil.Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Usama Dakdok is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. Born and raised in Egypt, Usama learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. He also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, which is Islamic law. He first came to America in 1992.The infiltration of Islam continues in the U.S. This past February, Crosstalk warned listeners about the formation of "EPIC City" near Dallas, Texas (EPIC stands for East Plano Islamic Center). The city will eventually have exclusive Islamic grocery stores, schools, elderly assistance centers and more.Just a few weeks ago, the Houston Chronicle wrote about thousands of Muslims that gathered at the Sugarland, Texas, town square for what organizers said was the largest, open air Iftar celebration in the region. Then at the end of March, the White House sponsored an Iftar dinner. There's also a CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) linked event that hopes to place Muslim-Americans in federal jobs. These efforts prove how Islam is affecting America. Next on their agenda is an event set to take place on April 28th-29th. That's when the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations is hosting the 10th annual National Muslim Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C. The event will bring in Muslim leaders, activists, as well as constituents from all across America. The goal is to directly engage with members of Congress as they promote the theme: Defending rights. Shaping policy.

Ralph welcomes journalist Chris Hedges to talk about his new book "A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine." Then, Ralph speaks to David Swanson of World BEYOND War about what his organization is doing to resist this country's casual acceptance of being constantly at war. Finally, Ralph checks in with our resident constitutional scholar Bruce Fein.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.We not only blocked the effort by most countries on the globe to halt the genocide or at least censure Israel to the genocide, but of course have continued to sendbillions of dollars in weapons and to shut down critics within the United States… And that sends a very, very ominous message to the global south, especiallyas the climate breaks down, that these are the kind of draconian murderous measuresthat we will employ.Chris HedgesIt's a very, very ominous chapter in the history of historic Palestine. In some ways, far worse even than the 1948 Nakba (or “Catastrophe”) that saw massacres carried out against Palestinians in their villages and 750,000 Palestinians displaced. What we're watching now is probably the worst catastrophe to ever beset the Palestinian people.Chris HedgesIt's a bit like attacking somebody for writing about Auschwitz and not giving the SS guards enough play to voice their side. We're writing about a genocide and, frankly, there isn't a lot of nuance. There's a lot of context (which is in the book). But I expect either to be blanked out or attacked because lifting up the voices of Palestinians is something at this point within American society that is considered by the dominant media platforms and those within positions of power to be unacceptable.Chris HedgesIt eventually comes down to us, the American people. And it's not just the Middle East. It's a sprawling empire with hundreds of military bases, sapping the energy of our public budgets and of our ability to relate in an empathetic and humanitarian way to the rest of the world.Ralph NaderDavid Swanson is an author, activist, journalist, radio host and Nobel Peace Prize nominee. He is executive director of World BEYOND War and campaign coordinator for RootsAction. His books include War Is A Lie and When the World Outlawed War.The biggest scandal of the past two days in the United States is not government officials secretly discussing plans for mass killing, for war making, but how they did it on a group chat. You can imagine if they were talking about blowing up buildings in the United States, at least the victims would get a little mention in there.David SwansonThe Democrats are the least popular they've been. They're way less popular than the Republicans because some of the Republicans' supporters actually support the horrendous behavior they're engaged in. Whereas Democrats want somebody to try anything, anything at all, and you're not getting it.David SwansonYou know how many cases across the world across the decades in every hospital and health center there are of PTSD or any sort of injury from war deprivation? Not a one. Not a single one, ever. People survive just fine. And people do their damnedest to stay out of it, even in the most warmongering nations in the world. People try their very hardest to stay out of war personally, because it does great damage.David SwansonBruce 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.If there were really an attorney general who was independent, they would advise the President, “You can't make these threats. They are the equivalent of extortion.”Bruce FeinVigorous Public Interest Law DayApril 1, 2025 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm at Harvard Law School the Harvard Plaintiffs' Law Association is hosting Vigorous Public Interest Law Day with opening remarks by Ralph Nader. The program will feature highly relevant presentations and group discussions with some of the nation's most courageous public interest lawyers including Sam Levine, Bruce Fein, Robert Weissman, Joan Claybrook, and Pete Davis, to name a few. More information here.News 3/26/251. Starting off this week with some good news, Families for Safe Streets reports the Viriginia Assembly has passed HB2096, also known as the Stop Super Speeders bill. If enacted, this bill would allow would judges to “require drivers convicted of extreme speeding offenses to install Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology in their vehicles, automatically limiting their speed to the posted limit.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSA, established by Ralph Nader, speeding was responsible for 12,151 deaths in 2022 and is a contributing factor in the skyrocketing number of pedestrians killed by automobiles which hit a 40-year high in 2023, per NPR.2. In more troubling auto safety news AP reports NHTSA has ordered a new recall on nearly all Cybertrucks. This recall centers on an exterior panel that can “detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, [and] increasing the risk of a crash.” This panel, called a “cant rail assembly,” is attached with a glue that is vulnerable to “environmental embrittlement,” per NHTSA. This is the eighth recall of the vehicles since they hit the road just one year ago.3. At the same time, the Democratic-controlled Delaware state legislature has passed a bill to “award…Musk $56 billion, shield corporate executives from liability, and strip away voting power from shareholders,” reports the Lever. According to this report, written before the law passed, the bill would “set an extremely high bar for plaintiffs to obtain internal company documents, records, and communications — the core pieces of evidence needed to build a lawsuit against a company.” On the other hand, “Corporate executives and investors with a controlling stake in a firm would no longer be required to hold full shareholder votes on various transactions in which management has a direct conflict of interest.” As this piece notes, this bill was backed by a pressure campaign led by Musk and his lawyers that began with a Delaware Chancery Court ruling that jeopardized his $56 billion compensation package. In retaliation, Musk threatened to lead a mass exodus of corporations from the state. Instead of calling his bluff, the state legislature folded, likely beginning a race to the bottom among other corporate-friendly states that will strip anyone but the largest shareholders of any remaining influence on corporate decision making.4. Speaking of folding under pressure, Reuters reports Columbia University will “acquiesce” to the outrageous and unprecedented demands of the Trump administration. These include a new mask ban on campus, and placing the school's Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies department – along with the Center for Palestine Studies –under academic receivership for at least five years. By caving to these demands, the University hopes the administration will unfreeze $400 million in NIH grants they threatened to withhold. Reuters quotes historian of education, Professor Jonathan Zimmerman, who decried this as “The government…using the money as a cudgel to micromanage a university,” and Todd Wolfson, president of the American Association of University Professors, who called the administration's demands “arguably the greatest incursion into academic freedom, freedom of speech and institutional autonomy that we've seen since the McCarthy era.”5. The authoritarianism creeping through higher education doesn't end there. Following the chilling disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, the Trump administration has begun deploying the same tactic against more students for increasingly minor supposed offenses. First there was Georgetown post-doc student Badar Khan Suri, originally from India, who “had been living in Virginia for nearly three years when the police knocked on his door on the evening of 17 March and arrested him,” per the BBC. His crime? Being married to the daughter of a former advisor to Ismail Haniyeh, who in 2010 left the Gaza government and “started the House of Wisdom…to encourage peace and conflict resolution in Gaza.” A court has blocked Suri's deportation. Then there is Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts who was on her way home from an Iftar dinner when she was surrounded and physically restrained by plainclothes agents on the street, CNN reports. Video of this incident has been shared widely. Secretary of State Marco Rubio supposedly “determined” that Ozturk's alleged activities would have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences and would compromise a compelling U.S. foreign policy interest.” These activities? Co-writing a March 2024 op-ed in the school paper which stated “Credible accusations against Israel include accounts of deliberate starvation and indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.” The U.S. has long decried regimes that use secret police to suppress dissident speech. Now it seems it has become one.6. Yet the Trump administration is not only using deportations as a blunt object to punish pro-Palestine speech, it is also using it to go after labor rights activists. Seattle public radio station KUOW reports “Farmworker activist and union leader Alfredo Juarez Zeferino, known…as ‘Lelo,' was taken into custody by [ICE].” A farmworker and fellow activist Rosalinda Guillén is quoted saying “[Lelo] doesn't have a criminal record…they stopped him because of his leadership, because of his activism.” She added “I think that this is a political attack.” Simultaneously, the Washington Post reports “John Clark, a Trump-appointed Labor Department official, directed the agency's Bureau of International Labor Affairs…to end all of its grants.” These cuts are “expected to end 69 programs that have allocated more than $500 million to combat child labor, forced labor and human trafficking, and to enforce labor standards in more than 40 countries.”7. All of these moves by the Trump administration are despicable and largely unprecedented, but even they are not as brazen as the assault on the twin pillars of the American social welfare system: Social Security and Medicare. Social Security is bearing the brunt of the attacks at the moment. First, AP reported that Elon Musk's DOGE planned to cut up to 50% of the Social Security Administration staff. Then, the Washington Post reported that the administration planned to force millions of seniors to submit claims in person rather than via phone. Now the administration is announcing that they are shifting Social Security payments from paper checks to prepaid debit cards, per Axios. Nearly half a million seniors still receive their payments via physical checks. These massive disruptions in Social Security have roiled seniors across the nation, many of whom are Republican Trump supporters, and they are voicing their frustration to their Republican elected officials – who in turn are chafing at being cut out of the loop by Musk. NBC reports Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Finance subcommittee on Social Security, said “he had not been told ahead of time about DOGE's moves at the agency.” Senators Steve Daines and Bill Cassidy have echoed this sentiment. And, while Social Security takes center stage, Medicare is next in line. Drop Site is out with a new report on how Trump's nominee to oversee the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services – Dr. Oz – could shift millions of seniors from traditional Medicare to the insurer-controlled Medicare Advantage system. Medicare and Social Security have long been seen as the “third rail” of American politics, meaning politicians who try to tamper with those programs meet their political demise. This is the toughest test yet of whether that remains true.8. The impact of Oscar winning documentary No Other Land continues to reverberate, a testament to the power of its message. In Miami Beach, Mayor Steven Meiner issued a draft resolution calling for the city to terminate its lease agreement with O Cinema, located at Old City Hall, simply for screening the film. Deadline reports however that he was forced to back down. And just this week, co-director of the film Hamdan Ballal was reportedly “lynched” by Israeli settlers in his West Bank village, according to co-director Yuval Abraham, an anti-occupation Jewish Israeli journalist. The Guardian reports “the settlers beat him in front of his home and filmed the assault…he was held at an army base, blindfolded, for 24 hours and forced to sleep under a freezing air conditioner.” Another co-director, Basel Adra of Masafer Yatta, told the AP “We came back from the Oscars and every day since there is an attack on us…This might be their revenge on us for making the movie. It feels like a punishment.” Stunningly, it took days for the Academy of Motion Pictures to issue a statement decrying the violence and even then, the statement was remarkably tepid with no mention of Palestine at all, only condemning “harming or suppressing artists for their work or their viewpoints.”9. In some more positive news, Zohran Mamdani – the Democratic Socialist candidate for Mayor of New York City – has maxed out donations, per Gothamist. Mamdani says he has raised “more than $8 million with projected matching funds from about 18,000 donors citywide and has done so at a faster rate than any campaign in city history.” Having hit the public financing cap this early, Mamdani promised to not spend any more of the campaign raising money and instead plans to “build the single largest volunteer operation we've ever seen in the New York City's mayor's race.” Witnessing a politician asking supporters not to send more money is a truly one-of-a-kind moment. Recent polling shows Mamdani in second place, well behind disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and well ahead of his other rivals, including incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, per CBS. However, Mamdani remains unknown to large numbers of New Yorkers, meaning his ceiling could be much higher. Plenty of time remains before the June mayoral election.10. Finally, in an extremely bizarre story, Columbia Professor Anthony Zenkus reports “Robert Ehrlich, millionaire founder of snack food giant Pirate's Booty…tried to take over the sleepy Long Island town of Sea Cliff.” Zenkus relays that Ehrlich waged a “last minute write-in campaign for mayor in which he only received 62 votes - then declared himself mayor anyway.” Though Ehrlich only received 5% of the vote, he “stormed the village hall with an entourage, declaring himself the duly-elected mayor, screaming that he was there to dissolve the entire town government and that he alone had the power to form a new government.” Ehrlich claimed the election was “rigged” and thus invalid, citing as evidence “One of my supporters voted three times. Another one voted four times…” which constitutes a confession to election fraud. Zenkus ends this story by noting that Ehrlich was “escorted out by police.” It's hard to make heads or tails of this story, but if nothing else it indicates that these petty robber barons are simply out of control – believing they can stage their own mini coup d'etats. And after all, why shouldn't they think so, when one of their ilk occupies perhaps the most powerful office in the history of the world. Bad omens all around.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

We're about halfway through Ramadan — the Muslim holy month marked by charity, spiritual reflection, and daily fasting. With some 350,000 Muslims estimated to call Chicago and Illinois home, we visited the Muslim Community Center in Old Irving Park for a community iftar. Iftar refers to the evening meal when fasts are broken each day. Last year, host Jacoby Cochran talked with lifelong member Amjad Quadri about what the mosque is serving up and how Ramadan is about more than fasting. Support MCC's Annual Ramadan Project to help provide Iftar nightly to over 30 newly arrived families.  Want some more City Cast Chicago news?

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about Bill Maher surprising the "Real Time with Bill Maher" crowd by agreeing with Fareed Zakaria's shortsighted criticism of JD Vance's speech criticizing Germany's lack of free speech; "60 Minutes'" frightening story about the chilling enforcement of Germany's new hate speech laws, where German citizens go to jail and have their devices taken from them for saying any "hateful" speech online; Richard Dawkins' chilling appearance on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" which revealed how successful the muslim's world's threats have been to any public figure critical of Islam when Dawkins refuses to comment on the case of the "ISIS bride"; the UK continuing to cede it's cultural history to Islam by allowing an Iftar event to celebrate the end of Ramadan in the historic St. George's Hall in Windsor Castle; Jasmine Crockett proving how ignorant she is of Elon Musk's accomplishments; Boston mayor Michelle Wu responding to a knife attack in a Chick-fil-A by offering condolences to the family of the dead attempted murderer; Bob Hope's proving that people always mocked Democrats; and much more.
