  On Sunday 15th and Monday 16th of February 2026, we're going to be hosting ICEBREAKER, a two day fundraising marathon on twitch.tv/friendsatthetable to raise money for the Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund!

The WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund distributes funding to organizations working to provide food, housing, rent relief, transportation and healthcare as well as legal support for immigrants, detainees, and their families. The fight for immigration justice is immensely important to us all. Please join us to help raise some money! In addition to streaming, new limited edition t-shirts will be available on the Friends at the Table store on Sunday 15th, featuring the incredible ICEBREAKER art by Conner Fawcett. For the months of February and March, all proceeds from any purchases made at friendsatthetable.shop will go to the Immigration Law Center of Minnesota, which provides free legal representation to immigrants and their families. After March, this t-shirt will no longer be available! Please stay tuned to our social media and here on Patreon for upcoming information about the schedule, as well as our fundraising goals.

Radell Lewis and panelists Elijah and Danny break down the biggest stories of the week on Purple Political Breakdown. First, the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show controversy was the backlash about the music or anti-immigrant sentiment? The panel dissects Jake Paul's viral tweet calling Bad Bunny a "fake American citizen," Logan Paul's pushback, and Megyn Kelly's comments about football being "ours." The conversation expands into a deeper debate on immigration, American identity, assimilation, free speech, and whether MAGA has become the new "woke." Plus, a quick take on the Epstein files release, including the Elon Musk emails, Howard Lutnick connections, and Trump allegations.

He arrived in America at 14 with a suitcase… and zero English.Raised in communist Poland with very little, Peter Kolat learned early what it meant to be underestimated.What followed wasn't luck — it was transformation.In this episode of Shut Up and GRIND, Robert B. Foster sits down with Peter — 2x Transformational Coach of the Year, author of Authentic Self Rebirth, creator of the 7 Human Drives Framework, and coach to thousands of entrepreneurs and high performers — to unpack the journey from survival to soul-level success.Peter opens up about the divorce that shattered him in 2011 — emotionally, spiritually, physically — and the “optimistic depression” that forced him to confront the truth: personal development isn't transformational if you never address identity.Now, through his 7 Human Drives Framework, Peter helps high achievers break unconscious patterns, reconnect with their authentic self, and build businesses that support their lives — not consume them.This episode isn't hype.It's depth, faith, identity, and real transformation.

Singer-songwriter Jon Guerra joins Mark Labberton to explore devotional songwriting, public faith, and the tension between the kingdom of Jesus and American cultural power. Through music and reflection, Guerra considers how art can hold grief, courage, and hope together in turbulent times. "Love has a million disguises, but winning is simply not one." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Guerra reflects on songwriting as prayer, the call to love enemies, and artistic courage in moments of cultural crisis. Together they discuss devotional music, George Herbert's influence, the Beatitudes and American culture, citizenship and immigration imagery, increasing polarization, suffering and grace, and the vocation of Christian artists. Episode Highlights "Love has a million disguises, but winning is simply not one." "When Jesus says to love your enemies… he is giving us a means of survival." "This is not sentimentality… the only way to resist becoming what one hates." "My songwriting… would be a means of coming into contact with the invisible God." "Beauty puts us in contact with invisible things." About Jon Guerra Jon Guerra is a singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas, known for devotional music that blends poetry, theology, and contemporary cultural reflection.

In this gripping episode of the Employee Survival Guide®, Mark Carey uncovers the use of abusive employment practices faced by immigrant nurses and the employment contracts they enter into in the case of Magtolls v. United Staffing Registry, Inc. These dedicated professionals, seeking a better life, found themselves ensnared in exploitative employment contracts that led to a federal class action lawsuit, highlighting the dire need for employee rights education in today's workforce. As Mark dissects the oppressive terms of these employment contracts, listeners will learn about the staggering $90,000 penalty for quitting before fulfilling a grueling 6,000-hour work commitment. This episode reveals how such agreements can create conditions akin to forced labor, where underpayment, overwhelming workloads, and threats of deportation become the norm. The discussion goes beyond the courtroom, shedding light on the broader implications of coercive employment practices that many workers face in various industries. The court's ruling that deemed these employment contracts unenforceable serves as a pivotal moment in the fight against employment discrimination and exploitation. Mark emphasizes the importance of understanding employment contracts and the rights that workers have, urging listeners to scrutinize their own agreements and recognize potential hidden dangers.

In a small town in South Carolina, an unhoused man and his dog faced tough conditions and no place to turn when winter weather hit. But thanks to the kindness of strangers, the community came together to make sure he had everything he needed. David Begnaud reports. President Trump took to social media Sunday and without mentioning Bad Bunny by name, decried the Super Bowl halftime show as "one of the worst, ever" and "an affront to the greatness of America." Bad Bunny used his Grammy acceptance speech one week ago to criticize the president's immigration crackdown. Ed O'Keefe reports. The Trump administration says it is looking to deport the most dangerous criminals, but an internal DHS document shows a vast majority of undocumented immigrants arrested by ICE have not been charged with or convicted of a violent crime. Camilo Montoya-Galvez has more. Ad Age editor-in-chief Jeanine Poggi joins "CBS Mornings" to break down which ads during Super Bowl LX stood out and if some missed the mark.

n this powerful and deeply validating episode of A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan, Dr. Foojan Zaine sits down with Agatha Peters, Nigerian-American psychotherapist, founder of Beautiful Sunshine Therapy, and author of Trapped in Their Script: Reclaim Your Life from Narcissistic Parents and Cultural Expectations. This conversation shines a light on the hidden emotional abuse experienced by adult children of narcissistic parents—especially within collectivist, immigrant, and African cultures, where family loyalty is often prioritized over individual mental health and emotional safety.

Season 4 of Tend Her Wild opens with a refusal to play small. In this episode, we bear witness to what is unfolding in Minneapolis—and across our country—through the lens of the Wild Woman archetype. This conversation is about courage in real time, love under pressure, and what it looks like when women choose presence over paralysis. We ask the question Clarissa Pinkola Estés reminds us of how a culture heals, and we explore what happens when a community becomes “a family within a family,” tending one another through fear, grief, and fierce love. This episode holds pain and power, heartbreak and humanity, and a deep reminder that the wild woman rises precisely in times like these. What the Wild Woman Is Teaching Us Right Now What it means to not play small in moments of cultural rupture How the wild woman archetype shows up as truth-telling, action, and solidarity Why these times are calling women to step forward—even when scared Guest 1: A Minnesota Neighbor & Artist — Bearing Witness Through Action Our first guest is a local neighbor and artist from Minnesota who shares what it is like to live inside the unfolding events in Minneapolis. She reminds us that this is not the time to be quiet, even when fear is present—and that fear is not a reason to disengage. Key reflections from her story: The unique strength and resilience of Minnesotans The truth that we are all immigrants—and how civil liberties are being threatened What it means to live where you cannot step outside without witnessing history How COVID quietly prepared communities by strengthening relationships Neighbors delivering food, showing up, and caring for one another Using personal gifts—art, presence, nourishment—as acts of resistance The power of art as a kind of spell cast outward, carrying love and truth She speaks honestly about the emotional roller coaster of these days, while holding faith that this community is modeling something vital for the rest of the country. Guest 2: An Immigrant's Perspective from Downtown Minneapolis Our second guest is an immigrant who has lived in the United States for nearly 30 years and currently resides in downtown Minneapolis. She shares the disorientation of desolate streets, the fear of leaving home, and the haunting familiarity of carrying papers—echoing memories of wartime survival. Her reflections include: Living with heightened vigilance and fear Recognizing that acts of oppression often stem from fear How community connection becomes harder when people are afraid to be seen The grief of reliving the past Why generosity cannot be taught—but must be practiced “Stay safe” becoming the new greeting She reminds us that anything rooted in fear, greed, or selfishness cannot last—and that when justice is destroyed, it will be reborn. We hold deep gratitude for these two women who chose to bear witness, sharing their stories with honesty and heart. They embody both courage and pain, reminding us that the wild woman does not numb—she stays present, rooted in love, and committed to life.

Immigrant and refugee poet Dario reflects on war, displacement, identity, and healing—revealing how poetry becomes both a refuge and a form of resistance in a world shaped by trauma and migration.00:34- About Dario CvencekDario is an immigrant and a refugee poet from the Balkans.He's an author of a book titled PTSD Martini. 

According to government data, at least 3,800 children were detained by U.S. federal immigration forces in 2025 alone, including 20 infants. On today's show: Elora Mukherjee, professor at Columbia Law School and director of its Immigrants' Rights Clinic, talks about what these children and families are experiencing right now.

Amiga, if you're feeling the heaviness right now, I feel you. This is my first episode back from maternity leave, and I could not come back without acknowledging what we are collectively experiencing. With everything happening around ICE and the way our immigrant communities are being targeted, this moment feels deeply personal, especially for those of us who are first-gen and daughters of immigrants. This isn't just politics. This is trauma resurfacing. This is fear we grew up with showing up again in real time. In this episode, I'm holding space for the emotions many of us are feeling fear, sadness, anger, helplessness, and I'm also sharing simple, intentional ways we can activate, resist, and take up space as Latina leaders right now. ✨ What I Talk About in This Episode Why what's happening is retraumatizing for so many first-gen Latinas How growing up as daughters of immigrants shaped our fear, resilience, and leadership Why silence is often rooted in privilege and why some people don't have the option to speak How to show up with intention instead of pressure or performative activism Why becoming the best version of ourselves is a powerful form of resistance

We're all witnessing some truly devastating and distressing actions against our immigrant neighbors. We may be watching this from afar, or we may be seeing it up close and personal.  There are almost two reactions that happen at the same time. One is we are tempted to recoil in horror and push it away. And the other is to step forward and help.  What is awesome about Nonprofit leaders is that generally we're wired to step in and help. It's what we do. But it would be easy to look at this particular situation and feel fairly powerless. That's the conversation I want to have – about the fact that in spite of the horrific events that have been occurring in Minnesota, there are some powerful lessons that are coming out of the work being done there. By community members and by community organizations that are banding together and creating a powerful force of resistance against lawless action and in support for the immigrant community. It's that combination of both resistance against what is wrong, and simultaneously stepping up to support those who are being targeted and harmed, that is the critical recipe for how we all can be thinking about how to respond. In this episode, we share:Three questions to guide you in supporting clients who are members of immigrant communities How to help staff and volunteers who are members of immigrant communitiesThe two-prong strategy that is working in MinnesotaThe powerful role that 34,000 Minnesotans have signed up to play in protecting immigrants and pushing back on lawless actions by the federal governmentTwo downloadable tools that you can start using today to support and protect your immigrant neighbors Links to downloadable resources from the Immigrant Defense Network/COPAL in MN:The Handbook for Constitutional Observers "Red Cards" on basic rightsHelp spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast.  Thanks!!

He founded the channel in 2015 whilst working in retail, as a creative outlet and as a means to share his love of all things language. Since then, Name Explain has amassed hundreds of thousands of subscribers and millions of views. The channel's success led Patrick to write his first book, The Origin of Names, Words and Everything in Between, in 2018. His latest book is Immigrant Tongues: Exploring How Languages Moved, Evolved, and Defined Us. In this episode, we focus on Immigrant Tongues. We start by talking about how Patrick got interested in linguistics. We then discuss what a language is, and the ways languages migrate. We go through languages like Latin, the Bantu languages in Africa, English in Ireland, the colonization of the Americas, and languages in Antarctica and in space. We also talk about sign languages, how Mandarin is spreading across the globe, the concept of a “lingua franca”, and the future of language migration and evolution.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Businesses across Minnesota are feeling the strain as the Trump administration's immigration crackdown moves into its seventh week.Immigrant-owned businesses — and companies that rely on immigrant workers — have been hit especially hard. Employers say many workers are staying home, worried about being stopped or detained by immigration officers. At the same time, customers are also staying away, as fear and tension ripple through communities following the recent killings of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good. The result? Short-staffing, reduced hours, lost revenue — and a lot of uncertainty about what comes next. MPR News guest host Chris Farrell looks at how this surge in enforcement is disrupting business as usual and what people can do to support their local shops and restaurants.Guests: R.T. Rybak is the president and CEO of the Minneapolis Foundation, which just announced plans to distribute $3.5 million to businesses hurt by the immigration enforcement surge. He is also a former mayor of Minneapolis. Miguel Hernandez is the owner of Lito's Burritos, with locations on Lake Street in Minneapolis and Richfield. He grew up working in his parents' Richfield restaurant, El Tejaban Mexican Grill. Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.      

Donald Trump's anti-immigrant mission was already damaging his standing with the portion of Americans who didn't already dislike him, but the escalating violence and brutality and shocking on-camera killings have seen his opposition balloon from Americans protesting to a large swath of his own party, business leaders, clergy and Congress. Rachel Maddow outlines how the forces of democracy are imposing themselves on Trump.Rachel Maddow points out the consistent, unrelenting, stalwart, peaceful opposition of the people of Minnesota to Donald Trump's brutal anti-immigrant tactics, flexing every democratic muscle, is steadily defeating Trump. The people of Minneapolis are showing that the way to save democracy is by democratic means, including peaceful protest.Rachel Maddow reports on the expanding list of communities that are refusing the admit the Department of Homeland Security to install an immigration prison or processing facility in their area.

As federal immigration enforcement has surged in Minnesota, so has assistance to immigrants.Across Minnesota, people are supporting immigrant neighbors who are too afraid to leave their homes.Volunteers are delivering groceries and giving rides. They're helping with rent and pitching in with everything from dog walking to legal services. The support is grassroots, organized through local neighborhood groups, congregations and school communities.  MPR News Guest host Catharine Richert talks with guests and listeners about what volunteers are doing, what motivates them and the impact they're having.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Ayaan Hirsi Ali about her Somali background and the clan-based system shaping Somali society; how clan loyalty and political Islam operate as alternative moral systems that clash with Western nation-states; how these dynamics inform Somali communities in Minnesota, fraud scandals, and identity politics; the influence of Islamist networks like the Muslim Brotherhood; Democratic electoral strategies built around ethnic blocs and dependency; the broader threat to liberal democracy and Western values; about Ilhan Omar's role at the intersection of clan loyalty, Islamist influence, and Democratic Party politics; how Somali clan dynamics and Muslim Brotherhood networks operate in Minnesota; the red-green alliance between progressives and Islamists; Europe's multiculturalism error and electoral opportunism; the long-term consequences for Western democracy; whether the U.S. and Western Europe can realistically reverse mass immigration, identity politics, and radical ideology through border control, remigration, and political reform; the decline of classical liberalism and why it struggles to defend itself; her intellectual journey from atheism to Christianity as a search for liberalism's moral roots; the choice between Christian and Islamist societies through lived examples; why the danger of abandoning Judeo-Christian values leads societies toward authoritarianism, violence, and collapse; and much more.
