Intermittent fasting is everywhere right now. The promise? Drop body fat fast just by changing when you eat. But most of that advice wasn't designed for a mom's body. In this episode, Brooke, a registered dietitian and lactation counselor, breaks down whether intermittent fasting actually works for women, how it shifts across different life stages, and what she recommends to the busy moms she works with every day. If you've ever wondered whether IF is safe while breastfeeding, whether a 16-hour fast is realistic with kids' schedules, or whether skipping breakfast is actually hurting you, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn Why intermittent fasting is not recommended in the first 6 months postpartum, especially while exclusively breastfeeding How under-eating while breastfeeding can affect milk supply Why a gentle 12-hour fasting window is generally safe for most women, and how it naturally happens already The truth about whether intermittent fasting is required for weight loss (spoiler: it's not) What research from the University of Illinois Chicago found about shortening eating windows in pre- and postmenopausal women Why weight loss really comes down to a calorie deficit, and why "low calorie" doesn't always mean nutrient-dense The difference between a 12-hour fast and a 16-hour fast, and why longer fasts are a bigger ask for busy moms Why skipping breakfast is one of the biggest mistakes moms make, and why a high-protein, high-fiber breakfast matters more How intermittent fasting affects hormones differently in men vs. women, and why so much of the research gap still exists Signs that intermittent fasting may not be right for your body, including restriction mindset, bingeing, and disrupted sleep Why mental load, not metabolism, is often the biggest reason IF doesn't work for busy moms A simpler, more sustainable approach to eating that doesn't require tracking or timing windows Intermittent fasting isn't required to lose weight or feel your best, and it's definitely not one-size-fits-all for women. The real key is high-protein, macro-friendly meals that fit your actual life, without the mental load of timing every bite. Loved this episode?

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Joshua Burshtein, MD, chief dermatology resident at the University of Illinois Chicago, to discuss their recent Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology publication, Topical Prescription Therapy for Psoriasis: An Expert Position Paper on Limitations of Published Guidelines and Treatment Selection with Updated Recommendations. Their conversation examines the intended role of clinical practice guidelines, the limitations that emerge as therapeutics evolve, and why clinician judgment remains central to individualized psoriasis care. They begin by defining what treatment guidelines are intended to accomplish: to provide an evidence-based framework for clinicians rather than a rigid set of rules. Dr Burshtein notes that although the paper focuses on topical psoriasis therapies, many of its core principles apply broadly across dermatology, particularly as rapid therapeutic advances challenge the ability of clinical guidelines to remain current. Dr Del Rosso discusses the downstream effects of this disconnect, noting that guidelines are often treated as mandates by third-party payers despite disclaimers stating that they should not replace clinician judgment. The speakers emphasize that treatment decisions should remain patient-centered, with clinicians, insurers, and manufacturers all contributing to timely access to appropriate care. They also explore additional limitations of clinical guidelines, including differences in methodology among organizations and the inability of any single document to encompass every available therapy. The discussion concludes with the importance of recognizing bias in guideline development while reinforcing that treatment selection should be guided by clinical evidence, physician expertise, and shared decision-making with the patient. Tune in to the full episode to hear Drs Del Rosso and Burshtein discuss the evolving role of clinical guidelines, their limitations in everyday practice, and why individualized clinical judgment remains essential to psoriasis care.

Everyone has an opinion about the late Russian historian Richard Pipes. Some loved him. Many hated him. He was a conservative and anti-communist. A hardliner on American policy toward the Soviet Union. Some would even say he was a Russophobe and cultural essentialist. But Pipes was a far more complicated figure. A Polish Jew whose family fled before the Nazis arrived, Pipes possessed a strong moral center that stood at the heart of his rejection of the USSR. He eventually applied his vision to his work as a Russian historian at Harvard. Pipes was also at the ground floor of a new academic discipline. He studied under Michael Karpovich, the founder of Russian studies in the US, and was part of a grad cohort that included Russian history Brahmins Leopold Haimson, Marc Raeff, Martian Malia, and Nicholas Raisonovsky. All these men would staff history departments at Berkeley, Harvard, and Columbia, and train a generation of scholars. Pipes knew his stuff, and eventually applied his knowledge in public debate and advice to the Reagan Administration. Pipes was a man of the 20th century, and in my opinion, one of the last serious intellectual conservatives. So who was he? How did he “know” Russia? And in what ways does his historical analysis of Russia, which spanned centuries, echo today? The Eurasian Knot spoke to Jonathan Daly, a former Pipes student, about his new biography of Pipes, The Man Who Knew Russia, and what drove this self-identified perennial outsider. Also, check out my article “Richard Pipes, the Historian as Essentialist” published in Jacobin in 2018.Guest:Jonathan Daly teaches Russian, European, and world history at the University of Illinois Chicago. He's the author of several books, most recently he edited Pillars of the Profession: The Correspondence of Richard Pipes and Marc Raeff and wrote The Man Who Knew Russia: Richard Pipes, Humanist and Cold Warrior published by Stanford University Press.

From 2021 to 2025, We Rise Together: For an Equitable & Just Recovery (We Rise Together), a funder collaborative led by The Chicago Community Trust, invested $47 million in brick-and-mortar development, small business support, and workforce programs in underinvested communities, which are predominantly on Chicago's South and West sides. These investments improved economic activity and expanded opportunity--and raised an essential question for philanthropy, communities and developers: What does meaningful impact look like at the neighborhood level? In this episode of Trust Talks, we explore new research from the University of Illinois Chicago's Great Cities Institute examining both the economic activity and community experience shaped by We Rise Together investments. The evaluation offers a deeper understanding of how neighborhood investments influence local conditions, community perceptions, and residents' life experiences. From changes in nearby business activity to shifts in how people describe safety, opportunity and pride in their neighborhoods, the conversation brings the data to life. It also highlights what the research reveals about the importance of flexible capital, community voice, and place-based investment strategies in supporting the long-term economic vitality of long-disinvested neighborhoods and the city as a whole. Hosted by Maryah Phillips, program manager for the Neighborhood Capital Fund at the Trust, this episode features Katherine Faydash of the Great Cities Institute, who shares key findings from the research on the impact of community investment and neighborhood development. The conversation also includes Brenda Palms, president & CEO of North Lawndale Employment Network, and Jesse Iñiguez, founder of Back of the Yards Coffee, who reflect on how these investments are improving quality of life in their communities and what it takes to support thriving neighborhoods over time.  The episode also looks ahead to the continued potential of this work through the Neighborhood Capital Fund, another collaborative initiative led the Trust, which builds on lessons learned from We Rise Together to deepen investment in community-driven development. This episode was produced by Juneteenth Productions and recorded at The Auburn Gresham Healthy Lifestyle Hub.

As healthcare access strains under specialist shortages, long wait times, and rising administrative burden, some physicians are looking backward to move medicine forward. Patients can wait months for specialty care, doctors are often asked to see dozens of people in a single clinic session, and new care models are emerging around a simple but disruptive idea: bringing the physician back into the patient's space. The stakes are practical and deeply human: whether healthcare can become faster, more personal, and more present without losing the efficiencies modern medicine depends on.Can technology restore what modern healthcare has lost: the physician's presence with the patient, in the home, and at the center of care?Welcome to I Don't Care. In the latest episode, Dr. Kevin Stevenson speaks with Dr. Yevhen Pavelko, CEO and co-founder of Inviah, about rebuilding medicine around physician house calls. Their conversation explores how Inviah aims to create a mobile, physician-led care platform with built-in records, referrals and house-call access, while giving doctors more independence and patients faster, more personal care.Top insights from the talk…Dr. Pavelko argues that house calls are not nostalgia; they are a practical response to long waits, rushed visits, and limited access to specialists.The discussion examines how in-person care at home can reveal social, environmental, and family factors that clinics or telehealth may miss.Dr. Pavelko frames Inviah as a physician-led alternative to the traditional employment model, designed to reduce overhead, restore autonomy, and make medicine more human.Dr. Yevhen Pavelko is the CEO and co-founder of Inviah and a Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Illinois Chicago, specializing in general, foregut, bariatric, minimally invasive, and robotic surgery. He has held surgical and research roles across UI Health, OSF HealthCare, the University of Chicago Medicine, and Lviv National Medical University, with experience spanning clinical care, surgical education, research, and healthcare operations. Through Inviah, he is building a physician-focused model for same-day home medical visits designed to improve access, reduce unnecessary ER use, and restore a more patient-centered approach to care.

The company's technology roadmap includes next-generation multi-energy systems combining battery, solar and regenerative technologies to improve the long-haul viability of electrified refrigerated transport. Key Takeaways: Electrifying the Cold Chain Without Breaking the Grid In "Electrifying the Cold Chain Without Breaking the Grid" Joe Lynch and Sam Plunkett, CEO of Nivalis Energy Systems, discuss how self-powered, electrified trailers can drastically cut fleet costs and emissions without overwhelming the power grid.  Proven Bottom-Line Savings: Nivalis's electrified solutions have been on the road for over two years, demonstrating average operational savings of $12,000 per trailer, per year by dramatically reducing diesel consumption and mechanical maintenance costs. Strategic European Acquisition: The recent acquisition of SolarEdge eMobility brings 25 years of automotive-grade electrification engineering and manufacturing scale, accelerating Nivalis's integration of solar and regenerative braking technologies. Independence from the Power Grid: Upcoming next-generation platforms will utilize solar panels and e-axles to harvest braking energy. This allows trailers to generate their own power, drastically reducing or entirely eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming depot grid charging upgrades. Seamless, Agnostic Integration: Designed to be TRU (Transport Refrigeration Unit) agnostic, the technology easily retrofits onto existing Carrier or Thermo King systems. It requires zero operational changes from drivers, automatically powering up or down alongside the existing refrigeration unit. Trailers as Mobile Microgrids: Nivalis is building toward a future where returning trailers with latent battery capacity can push energy back into a distribution hub's grid during peak pricing hours, using AI to optimize energy usage across the entire facility. Powering Advanced Security and Compliance: The robust onboard battery provides a reliable, redundant power source for critical auxiliary systems—like advanced telematics, door-breach sensors, cameras, and pallet-level temperature tracking—without draining the tractor's alternator or relying on idling diesel engines. Expanding into Dry Vans: A new European pilot program applies Nivalis's solar and e-axle technology to standard, non-refrigerated dry vans. The harvested energy is used to slightly propel the trailer on the highway, reducing the tractor's workload and tracking toward a savings of 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year.

Just before the legislation session wrapped in Springfield this week, Illinois lawmakers passed landmark legislation regulating artificial intelligence. Senate Bill 315 requires developers to publish reports explaining the capabilities and risks associated with its technology. It also mandates third-party audits. Illinois is one of just a handful of states pushing through laws that regulate AI. But in the absence of federal governance, the growing patchwork of state laws may not be enough to protect consumers as AI technologies rapidly evolve and expand. For more on the growth of A.I. and what enforcement of regulation could look like in Illinois, we hear from Illinois State Rep. Daniel Didech (D-Buffalo Grove) and AI expert Michael Bennett, associate vice chancellor for data science and AI strategy at University of Illinois Chicago.

In this episode of Pharmacy Focus, moderator Bob Haight, PharmD, BCPP, AAPP Annual Meeting director and past president of American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists (AAPP), discusses the AAPP 2026 Annual Meeting with Archana Jhawar, PharmD, BCPP, clinical assistant professor at the University of Illinois Chicago; and Chelsea Di Polito, PharmD, BCPP, psychiatric clinical pharmacist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. The discussion centers on emerging trends in psychiatric pharmacotherapy across diverse practice settings. A major focus is on newer psychiatric medications, including sublingual dexmedetomidine for acute agitation, which offers a novel, patient-friendly administration route and potential benefits for inpatient care. Additional discussion covers agents like lumateperone and xanomeline-trospium, with attention to their safety profiles, tolerability, and evolving roles in treatment. The speakers emphasize the importance of real-world experience in determining how these newer therapies fit into clinical decision-making, especially given considerations like cost, monitoring requirements, and patient-specific factors.The episode also explores cutting-edge research and practice challenges, including the growing interest in GLP-1 receptor agonists for substance use disorders. While still considered “unproven but promising,” early data suggest these agents may reduce addictive behaviors by modulating reward pathways rather than through traditional metabolic effects. Additional highlights include evolving strategies for clozapine monitoring following REMS changes, where pharmacists play a central role in balancing safety and access, and advancements in long-acting injectable antipsychotics that improve flexibility, adherence, and patient-centered care. Across all topics, a consistent theme emerges: the expanding range of treatment options requires clinicians to stay informed, adaptable, and focused on individualized care. The speakers conclude that AAPP's annual meeting provides a valuable forum for translating emerging evidence into practical strategies that can be immediately applied in clinical practice.Read more about the AAPP here: https://aapp.org/ed/meeting/2026Additional information on the AAPP Annual meeting can be found here: https://aapp.org/ Key Takeaways: New psychiatric treatments are expanding options but require real-world context. Emerging therapies—such as sublingual dexmedetomidine, lumateperone, and xanomeline-trospium—offer novel mechanisms, improved tolerability, and alternative administration routes. However, clinicians are still determining where these agents fit in practice, making shared clinical experience and practical insights critical for informed use. Innovative research is reshaping how clinicians think about psychiatric and substance use treatment. GLP-1 receptor agonists are gaining attention for substance use disorders, with early evidence suggesting they may reduce addictive behaviors by acting on reward pathways. While still investigational, this highlights a broader shift toward targeting underlying neurobiology rather than just symptoms. Pharmacists play a central role in navigating evolving care models and improving patient outcomes. From optimizing clozapine monitoring after REMS changes to implementing long-acting injectable antipsychotics, pharmacists are key in balancing safety, access, adherence, and education. Their involvement is essential as treatment options become more complex and patient-centered.

“Violence has been misdiagnosed. And there's a misdiagnosis that has caused us to not be able to control it as we could.” — Dr. Gary Slutkin Human violence appears ubiquitous. In Iran. In Gaza. In Ukraine. In Sudan. In American cities and homes. So widespread, indeed, that it seems naturally hardwired into us. Our species-being, so to speak. But, for Dr. Gary Slutkin, there is nothing inevitable about human violence. Slutkin — an epidemiologist who spent years fighting cholera, tuberculosis, and AIDS in Africa before focusing his medical mind on violence — argues that violence is neither a character flaw nor a moral failing. Rather than being baked into our natures, Slutkin sees violence as a contagious disease. It meets the clinical definition of a plague, he says. The more violent our homes, communities, media, politics, the more virally it spreads. Slutkin's new book, The End of Violence: Eliminating the World's Most Dangerous Epidemic, makes the case that violence has been misdiagnosed for centuries. We analyse it as a crime problem, a character problem, an inter-state problem. So we punish, incarcerate and bomb. But none of these approaches confront the contagion. This can only be done, Slutkin argues, with what he calls “violence interrupters” — people from within the infected community who find the most at-risk individuals and cool things down before they escalate. Communities that have applied this approach have seen reductions in violence of 40 to 70 percent, Slutkin boasts, with Cherry Hill, one of Chicago's most dangerous neighbourhoods, experiencing 450 days without a shooting. There will be a time, he promises, when the plague of human violence will be mostly overcome. I hope Dr. Slutkin is correct. But suspect that his brave new violence-free world, like Huxley's, might be simultaneously utopian and dystopian. Five Takeaways •       Violence Meets the Clinical Definition of a Contagious Disease: Slutkin is not speaking metaphorically. Violence meets the definition of a disease: characteristic signs and symptoms causing morbidity and mortality. It meets the definition of contagious: it causes more of itself. One violent event leads to another — in a home, in a community, in a region, in a war. The more you are exposed to it, the more likely you are to do it. This is the same mechanism as measles, as cholera, as COVID. Susceptibility varies — for violence, it has to do with how much you feel humiliated, how much social pain you carry, how much grievance a leader has taught you to feel. But the operating system is the same. •       Violence Has Been Misdiagnosed: For centuries, we have treated violence as a moral failing: a matter of bad people making bad choices. The response has been punishment, incarceration, war. None of these interrupt the contagion. In fact, incarceration concentrates the infection. The misdiagnosis has cost millions of lives. The correct diagnosis — epidemic disease spreading through exposure — changes everything. You don't blame a cholera patient for drinking contaminated water. You don't punish a COVID patient for breathing. You interrupt the spread. You treat the susceptibility. You cool it down. •       Violence Interrupters: The Epidemic Control Playbook: Cure Violence Global trains and deploys violence interrupters: people from the same community, who speak the same language, who have often been involved in violence themselves. Their job is to find the most at-risk individuals — the ones most likely to shoot or be shot next — and intervene before the next event. The approach works. Communities that have applied it have seen reductions of 40 to 70 percent. Over a dozen American cities are at fifty- or sixty-year historic lows. Cherry Hill in Chicago went 450 days without a shooting. Baltimore, New York, and other cities have had similar results. •       Authoritarian Violence Disorder: Chapter eight of The End of Violence is called “Infections of the State.” Slutkin's argument: authoritarian leadership is itself a form of epidemic violence. It spreads violence outward into its own population — through ICE raids, through threats, through the approval and scripting of violence by others. It also spreads it abroad, through war. Violence doesn't know borders. The mechanism is the same: exposure increases transmission; grievance and humiliation increase susceptibility. Trump's Iran war is not just a war. It is authoritarianism causing war. And the spread doesn't stop at the border. •       Uganda Dropped HIV 85 Percent with Behavior Change Alone: In 1987, Slutkin arrived in Uganda, then the most infected country in the world, where a third of the population had what was then a 100 percent lethal disease. Using the epidemic control playbook — no medicines, just behaviour change interventions — they dropped the rate 85 percent. The same approach drove down Ebola, drove down TB long before medication existed. Slutkin's point: we do not need pharmacological intervention to eliminate violence. We need the right people doing the right interventions with the right understanding of how contagion works. We have done it. We can do it again. About the Guest Dr. Gary Slutkin is an epidemiologist and the founder and CEO of Cure Violence Global. He is the author of The End of Violence: Eliminating the World's Most Dangerous Epidemic (Health Communications, Inc., 2026).

Saturday night in Chi-town brings us a second set that opens with the soon‑to‑be‑released "Touch of Grey," delivered in a tight, confident reading. A funky "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)" follows, with Jerry and Brent locking into some lively interplay that keeps the energy high. "Terrapin Station" then unfolds and the band shows their trademark virtuosity, taking us on a vibrant, narrative‑driven ride. From there they drop into a deep, heavy Drums and Space segment—one of the real highlights of the set—before slamming into a powerful "Truckin'." That sets up the ballad slot, and Jerry turns in an outstanding "Wharf Rat," rich with emotion and dynamic nuance. Bobby then leads the band into "Throwing Stones," complete with some fiery Garcia solos, and "Not Fade Away" closes the set in classic call‑and‑response fashion. The crowd, clearly feeling that extra X‑factor in this post‑drums stretch, keeps the "NFA" chant going until the band returns for a heartfelt and moving "Black Muddy River" encore   Grateful Dead UIC Pavilion - University of Illinois Chicago, IL 4/11/1987 - Saturday Two      Touch Of Grey [6:00] > Man Smart (Woman Smarter) [7:39] > Terrapin Station [11:29] > Drums [7:47] > Space [6:48#] > Truckin' [7:14] > Wharf Rat [8:40] > Throwing Stones [8:48] > Not Fade Away [6:18] Encore      Not Fade Away [ 0:52] > Black Muddy River [6:16]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  https://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod042426.mp3    "hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you"   

This week's Deadpod takes us to the first Midwestern stop since Garcia's coma, and it seems clear that Jerry is determined to show the fans that he is back and kicking! Following the 'Hell In A Bucket' opener, Jerry delivers a resounding 'Sugaree' with plenty of sparks and flourishes. Bobby's 'New Minglewood Blues is nicely paced - especially brimming with Brent's B3 contributions. The 'Loser' that follows however could well be the highlight of the set - the crowd is really into it and Jerry delivers a masterful reading. Brent's 'Tons of Steel' follows - Brent gives this track a real emotional reading. Bobby next takes us to 'Desolation Row' - somehow remembering all those verses. Jerry ramps it up again with a strong 'Big Railroad Blues' and the ensemble delivers a resounding 'Music Never Stopped' to close this first set.     Grateful Dead UIC Pavilion - University of Illinois Chicago, IL 4/11/1987 - Saturday One     Hell In A Bucket [5:55] > Sugaree [9:27]  New Minglewood Blues (1) [6:54]  Loser [7:02]  Tons Of Steel [5:08]  Desolation Row [10:25]  Big Railroad Blues [4:29]  The Music Never Stopped [7:18] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  https://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod041726.mp3    Hope the sun is shining in your backdoor! thanks for your kind support!    

An exercise program can be hard to start and even more difficult to stick with. But the evidence-based benefits speak for themselves. For people living with MS, it can mean improving quality of life without having to rely on a pill, injection, or infusion. And exercise is 100% affordable! Dr. Robert Motl, the Director of the Exercise Neuroscience Research Laboratory at the College of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Illinois Chicago, joins me to discuss how exercise can improve MS-related brain fog, reduce fatigue, and perhaps even support myelin repair. We'll also share the results of a study that shows having mononucleosis is a significant risk factor for developing MS. And we'll tell you about a powerful imaging agent that can identify which immune cells are causing the inflammatory activity that drives MS, determine disease severity, and track the immune system's response to disease-modifying therapy. It's a potential game-changer in MS care. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! This Week: Evidence-based benefits of exercise for people living with MS  :22 Study results show that having mono increases the chance that someone will develop MS  1:28 Researchers have created an imaging agent with the potential to be a game-changer in diagnosing and treating MS  4:29 Dr. Robert Motl explains how and why exercise can be medicine for people with MS  10:04 Share this episode  31:50 Next week  32:10 SHARE THIS EPISODE OF REALTALK MS Just copy this link & paste it into your text or email: https://realtalkms.com/450 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CONVERSATION I've always thought about the RealTalk MS podcast as a conversation.

In this episode, I welcome Dr. Young Kim, Associate Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago, to discuss the role of Cyprus in Late Antiquity. Although often seen as politically unimportant under Roman rule, Cyprus played a key part in trade, religion, and cultural life. We explore how the island became deeply involved in early Christianity--appearing in the New Testament, participating in the first ecumenical councils like Nicaea, and eventually gaining autocephalic (independent) status for its Church. We also look at how saints' lives, or hagiographies, offer insight into everyday life, travel, and religious change during this time. Special attention is given to St. Epiphanius--his fight against heresies and his dramatic clash with St. John Chrysostom!

Community can be powerful on its own. But when you combine community with evidence-based thinking, real leadership, and women who are willing to share both their ideas and their doubts, something even more meaningful happens. In this conversation with Dr. Shikha Jain, we talk about what it really takes to build a mission-driven community, why evidence-based voices matter more than ever, and how courage often looks a lot less polished than we expect. This episode is a conversation about leadership, vulnerability, and what becomes possible when smart women stop trying to do everything alone. About Dr. Shikha Jain Dr. Shikha Jain, MD, FACP is a physician leader, oncologist, and nationally recognized voice working at the intersection of medicine, policy, and healthcare system transformation. A tenured Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago and a national media contributor, she is the Founder and Board Chair of Women in Medicine®, a nonprofit advancing leadership and equity in healthcare. Dr. Jain's work spans clinical care, national policy discussions, and public communication, and she is widely recognized as a leading voice shaping the future of healthcare.   Resources: Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/212 Get The Body Reset Mini Course: https://burnstressloseweight.com/bodyreset Take the Stress Quiz: https://burnstressloseweight.com/stress     Follow Shikha on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shikhajainmd/  Women in Medicine: https://www.wimedicine.org/

This episode of The Cole Memo breaks down two major stories shaping the conversation around cannabis policy in Illinois. First, new developments in the University of Illinois Chicago drug testing lab controversy raise serious questions about past DUI cases, scientific standards, and accountability. As more cases get dropped, the conversation around faulty testing continues to grow. Then, we shift to a real-world example of how confusing cannabis laws can be. After a public statement from law enforcement about possession rules, Cole reaches out directly for clarification and walks through what the law actually says. From odor-based searches to vehicle rules and common misconceptions, this segment highlights how easily misinformation can spread and why clarity matters.

The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 02/19/26. At the tail end of Black History Month, we'll hear a new report by Matthew Wilson from the University of Illinois Chicago's Great Cities Institute. He says there's a large number of young people in greater Chicago area who are not in school or work. A hefty chunk of these folks are classified as black males. We'll also review the case of former Morgan County jailer Jarvis Moore. This privileged black male is accused of stealing honey buns from inmates. Mr. Moore says he's diabetic - which is not hard to believe for people classified as black in the western hemisphere. He's facing 7 felony charges - for seven honey buns. We also heard from our own 'Tumblin' Dice,' who was accused of looting traffic cones from an adjacent construction site. This same privileged black male was accused of stealing the school's weed-whacker previously. #YoungBlackAndUnemployed #NIGA05 #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

January 22, 2026 - During the first segment Vernon interviews Stacey Sutton, PhD., Associate Professor of Urban Planning & Policy at the University of Illinois Chicago. Dr Sutton and Vernon will discuss how cooperatives and solidarity economies can transform cities and advance racial and economic justice. In the second segment Vernon will discuss the relationship between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s moral and economic philosophy, the African humanist principle of Ubuntu, and the role of cooperative economics in advancing what Dr. King described as the Beloved Community.  Stacey Sutton, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Urban Planning and Policy at the University of Illinois Chicago, where she also directs the Solidarity Economy Research, Policy & Law Project and serves as Director of Applied Research and Strategic Partnerships for UIC's Social Justice Initiative. Her work focuses on community economic development, economic democracy, worker-owned cooperatives, solidarity economies, and racial and economic justice. Dr. Sutton's research explores how local governments and grassroots movements can support cooperative ownership and equitable economic systems, as well as how punitive urban policies disproportionately affect marginalized communities. She is the author of research on “cooperative cities” and leads the Real Black Utopias project examining Black-centered solidarity economy ecosystems.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, in Minneapolis last week, unleashing a wave of anti-ICE protests and sentiment throughout Minnesota and the rest of the United States. On Wednesday evening, federal immigration agents shot and wounded a man in Minneapolis, adding to the tension in the Twin Cities. President Donald Trump threatened to send in troops to crush the unrest.“What should be very clear to all Americans now is that there is no way to wage war on ‘illegal immigration' without also waging war on American citizens,” says Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington examines how the Trump administration's brutal deportation agenda is unfolding in Minnesota, sparking national backlash and renewed demands to abolish ICE; the historical legacy of immigration enforcement in the U.S.; and the administration's racist vision of reshaping American society. First, Minnesota Public Radio reporter Jon Collins shares an update on the Trump administration's siege. “The national audience needs to understand this is not just unrest, this is not just protests. … This is an invasion,” says Collins. “The justification from this administration, the way that they're portraying what's happening here in Minnesota — it almost turns on its head how we think about our constitutional rights in this country. Instead of protecting the citizens from the government, what they're arguing for is protecting law enforcement from any transparency, from any accountability to the people.”“The biggest organization of terror in this moment is the Department of Homeland Security,” says Rep. Delia Ramirez, who shared exclusively with The Intercept that she is introducing legislation to limit the use of force by DHS agents.The Illinois congresswoman described the bill as the “bare minimum” to curb DHS's abuses, calling for Democrats to use the appropriations process to “hold” funding to the agency and ultimately dismantle it. “Every single Democrat and every single Republican should be able to sign on to this bill,” says Ramirez. “Because it's basic, bare minimum, and not signing on is indicating that you're OK with what's happening on the streets.” “What we're seeing today has a long history,” says Adam Goodman, a historian at the University of Illinois Chicago. Federal immigration agencies' budgets depend “on apprehensions, detentions, and deportations.” That “institutional imperative,” he says, “is going to lead to all kinds of problems, including incredible discretionary authority … and tremendous abuses.”Serwer points out “the violence that you're seeing that federal agents are engaging in against observers, against activists, not just against immigrants, is a reflection of [an] ideological worldview. Which is that those of us who do not agree with Donald Trump are not real Americans and are not entitled to the rights that are due us in the Constitution, whether or not we have citizenship.” He adds, “The truth is, a democracy cannot exist when it has an armed uniformed federal agency who believes that its job is to brutalize 50 percent of the country.” Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
