To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: What happened when Illinois ended cash bail? As Laura's guests explain, this deeply discriminatory and unjust system puts “a ransom on people's heads,” disproportionately impacts Black and Brown people, and favors the wealthy who can buy their freedom while leaving the poor to languish in jail. Bail reform has faced tremendous pushback over the years, but Illinois implemented the first-of-its-kind Pretrial Fairness Act, ending cash bail statewide in 2023. The historic win didn't happen overnight. In this episode some of those most involved explain what it took and describe the surprising results. Sharone R. Mitchell Jr., the Cook County Chief Public Defender was the lead policy expert for the Coalition to End Money Bond. Mitchell also heads the state's largest public defender office. State Senator Robert Peters represents Illinois' 13th District and was one of the main sponsors of the Pretrial Fairness Act. He chairs the Senate Labor Committee. Bryce Covert followed this important and under-covered story for The Nation magazine. What has Illinois to teach the nation? All that plus Laura's commentary: Illinois has moved out of the Middle Ages. What's holding the rest of the nation back?Guests:• Bryce Covert: Contributor, The Nation• Sharone R.

Martha Arevalo, executive director of the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN) in Los Angeles, described an atmosphere of fear and chaos as federal authorities escalate enforcement in immigrant communities. Speaking on Everyday Injustice, she said residents are facing armored vehicles, masked officers, and indiscriminate detentions that sweep up people regardless of their immigration status. Arevalo warned that Los Angeles has become a “testing ground” for aggressive tactics that could soon spread nationwide. “What we're seeing is an administration that is not following the law,” she said, pointing to raids where individuals are detained without warrants, dialogue, or regard for constitutional protections. She emphasized that those being targeted include not only undocumented individuals but also lawful residents, DACA recipients, and even U.S. citizens. “If you look Latino, if you look like you could be an immigrant, they might get you,” she said. The impact has rippled across the city, leaving schools half-empty, businesses deserted, and families uncertain about the whereabouts of loved ones. Despite the escalating crisis, Arevalo said her organization remains committed to defending immigrant rights through legal services, rapid response, and advocacy. She stressed that the broader public should see this not only as an immigrant issue but as a test of democracy itself: “Today is this community in Los Angeles and the immigrant community. Tomorrow it could be you”.

There isn't a good character in Genesis 34- Jacob at best is a passive father, and his sons, in pursuit of justice, dispense injustice. At this point, Israel (the nation) doesn't exist and there has been no giving of the law. What we see is a story of man's wickedness and their need for Jesus. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally August 24th, 2025. Hank Atchison. Covenant Church. Tuscaloosa, AL.

Psalm 22 takes us straight to the cross, echoing the very words Jesus cried out in His suffering—'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?' It's a prophecy that unveils both the agony and the ultimate victory of the Messiah. Then, in Isaiah 33, we shift from the suffering Savior to the victorious King who reigns in righteousness, bringing stability, salvation, and peace to His people. Together, these chapters remind us that the story of redemption is not just about the pain of the cross but also the glory of God's eternal reign.As always be blessed and enjoy.Please follow, like, and share our podcast with a friend or family member!

“Illusionists and Injustice: Why Every Tyrant NeedsMagicians” TaHa: 57-62 The Pharoah of Musa (s) is not just one man, but anarchetype of an oppressive regime or system.  The Quran teaches us how to understand the world, how to recognize the elements of tyranny so we don't fall for them, or worse, perpetuate them ourselves.   In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed and Imam Mohamed Magid discuss the role of “modern magic”, i.e. propaganda and spin, in oppressive systems. You will learn: 

We are excited to announce that on October 8th of this year, Flatiron Books will release, Bone Valley: A True Story of Injustice and Redemption in the Heart of Florida by Gilbert King. The book traces the origins of the Bone Valley podcast, when Gilbert and Kelsey Decker began the project. At the time, they had no idea how vast the story would become—or how to navigate a medium they had never worked in before. They were learning how to make a podcast at the same time that they were uncovering the details of Leo’s case. Along the way, they faced setbacks and breakthroughs—most of which never made it into the series. There are also many witnesses, detectives, attorneys, family members, and investigators whose stories and voices didn’t make it into the podcast—simply because there wasn’t the time or space. In this book, Gilbert and Kelsey are able to go deeper, explore more angles, and bring in scenes that never aired. This is a more expansive version of the story, and in many ways, a more personal one too. The book is available now for preorder at the links below. Bone Valley listeners who preorder the book will be offered exclusive signed bookplates to attach, personalized by Gilbert King and Leo Schofield.

In the latest episode of Everyday Injustice, Tony Viola, a former Cleveland real estate professional, shares his story of being wrongly accused and convicted in what was billed as the nation's largest mortgage fraud case. Viola was indicted in both state and federal court, accused of stealing $46 million, and cast in the media as the architect of a massive scheme that he says never existed. Viola described how prosecutors pressed forward despite banks stating they suffered no losses and despite evidence showing he had no connection to the companies at the center of the case. He said the government relied on informant testimony, pursued a faulty narrative, and engaged in intimidation and misconduct. Missing evidence, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and the destruction of key materials made it impossible for him to mount a fair defense, he said. The case shifted when Dawn Pella, a staffer inside the prosecutor's office, came forward with evidence of misconduct, including emails that showed prosecutors knowingly relied on false testimony. Viola used that material to secure a victory in a second trial, though he spent 10 years in prison before being released. Pella, who was expected to testify on his behalf, later died under suspicious circumstances, and her computer containing key documents disappeared. Now exonerated, Viola has turned his experience into advocacy, calling for accountability and an end to prosecutorial immunity. He said his case highlights how systemic misconduct in the justice system is not limited to street-level crimes but extends to complex financial cases as well. “If it could happen to me, it could happen to anyone,” Viola said.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how to let go of the past.Have you ever caught yourself replaying an old hurt, long after the moment has passed? Do you ever believe that holding onto the pain somehow holds others accountable?

The foundation that supports Atlanta’s East Lake community, the East Lake Foundation, is celebrating 30 years. Show host Rose Scott talks with Ilham Askia, the president and CEO of the East Lake Foundation, about how the neighborhood — once overshadowed by crime, poverty, and crumbling infrastructure — was transformed into a thriving community. It’s now widely recognized as a blueprint for 25 communities across the nation through the efforts of the nonprofit, Purpose Built Communities. During the conversation, Askia reflects on the past, present, and future of East Lake, as well as the legacy of the late real estate developer and founder, Tom Cousins. It’s nearly 20 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana and parts of the Gulf Coast. Now, a new report from the Brookings Institution's Center for Community Uplift pinpoints how “environmental injustices and climate risks intersect to undermine resilience in metropolitan New Orleans” from Katrina to the present day. Rose talks with Manann Donoghoe, a fellow at the Brookings Institution's Center for Community Uplift, who authored the report.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things look bad. Looking at the world around us, it is easy to see that things are not what they should be—and this has been true throughout human history. In Psalm 37, David, the King of Israel, looks around and sees that things are not right. The wicked prosper, people plot evil, scheme to hurt others, draw the sword and bend their bows. Today we see this same principle at work on the large scale and small scale, war mongers and classroom cheaters. But what do we do with that? When you begin to get upset about the success of the people around you who seem to not deserve it or you begin to be tempted to join them in their evil ways, the psalmist offers another way: fret not. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on this Psalm, showing that when things look bad we can do three things: look at the big picture, look at the cross, and look to the Lord.

Then we shift to our guest, the remarkable Gisselle Pardo, a licensed clinical social worker, public health professional, educator, and advocate.We dig into what it really means to be a social worker right now.

Gisselle speaks candidly about the devaluation of care work, the cost of choosing this profession, and what it means to show up anyway. We explore institutional betrayal, collective burnout, and why small acts of resistance and humanity still matter.It's not all doom and gloom! We also explore reasonable hope, talk about dancing, being in community, and finding joy.Chapters(0:00:00) - Felicia and Rachel's Intro(0:23:18) - Interview begins with Gisselle(0:30:48) - Reimagining the Social Work Narrative(0:37:12) - Role of Social Work in Communities(0:40:33) - Impact of ICE Raids on Communities(0:52:27) - Challenges in Social Work Advocacy(0:58:52) - Navigating Crisis and Sustainable Hope(1:06:20) - Cultivating Reasonable Hope in Social Work Visit us at InclusionGeeks.com to stay up to date on all the ways you can make the workplace work for everyone!

As we are all aware, so many of the issues that seem to dominate the headlines these days have to do with either racism or the climate crisis. On the face of it, these two major areas of strife and struggle don't always seem to have a lot to do with one another, but in fact, they are fundamentally connected, sharing the very same root causes that drive them. In his book Plundered: The Tangled Roots of Racial and Environmental Injustice, David Swanson makes the case that we really can't fully understand these two seemingly disparate issues apart from one another, and that both are inextricably linked by issues of culture, geography, history, and even theology. In this conversation, David and Forrest discuss the book, as well as his experiences living in a predominantly African American neighborhood in Chicago and how his journey has shaped his understanding of racial and environmental justice. He emphasizes the importance of community, belonging, and the interconnectedness of social and environmental issues. Swanson also explores the role of Jesus in creation and redemption, advocating for a broader understanding of hope that transcends wishful thinking and engages with the realities of the world.TakeawaysDavid Swanson emphasizes the importance of staying in one place to truly understand and connect with the community.The interconnectedness of racial and environmental justice is a central theme in Swanson's work.Swanson's experience as a white pastor in a predominantly Black neighborhood highlights the complexities of racial dynamics in church leadership.The concept of belonging to a place is essential for addressing systemic issues.Swanson argues that the church must engage with both individual transformation and systemic change.Hope should be rooted in reality and not just wishful thinking, according to Swanson.The role of Jesus in creation is pivotal to understanding redemption and hope.Communities of caretakers are essential for nurturing relationships with the land and each other.Swanson advocates for a vision of hope that is active and engaged with the present world.The importance of storytelling and sharing experiences within communities is highlighted as a means of fostering connection. Keywords: David Swanson, racial justice, environmental justice, community, belonging, church leadership, hope, creation care, indigenous, social justiceFind us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple

Overview Psalm 56 is a heartfelt and powerful expression of trust in God during times of fear and oppression. It is attributed to David and was written when he was seized by the Philistines in Gath (see 1 Samuel 21:10–15). Though his life was in danger, David chose faith over fear, crying out to God for deliverance while declaring his unwavering trust in God's promises. Structure and Themes: 1.Verses 1–2: Plea for Mercy “Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.” David opens with a cry for God's mercy. He is under relentless attack—his enemies hound him day and night. The imagery is intense: they are like beasts trying to “swallow” him. 2.Verses 3–4: Trust in God “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word…” Here David makes a bold statement: even when afraid, he will trust in God. This becomes a central theme—fear does not cancel faith. Trust is based on the reliability of God's Word. 3.Verses 5–7: The Injustice of Enemies “Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.” David describes how his enemies twist his words, plot against him, and seek his downfall. He appeals to God's justice—asking if such evil should go unpunished. 4.Verse 8: God's Care for the Suffering “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” This verse is deeply tender. David believes God is intimately aware of his suffering. Every tear he sheds is collected by God—a metaphor for divine compassion and attention to our pain. 5.Verses 9–11: Confidence in God's Power “When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” David grows in confidence. He knows that when he cries out, God acts. Repeating the phrase “In God will I praise his word”, he underscores that God's promises are enough to silence his fears. 6.Verses 12–13: Vows and Praise “Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.” The psalm ends in victory. David promises to fulfill his vows of thanksgiving. God has kept him from falling and from death, so he can now “walk before God in the light of the living.” Key Takeaways: Faith and fear can coexist—but faith must lead. God sees every tear and every hardship. Trusting in God's Word brings peace in danger. Praise is a response to God's faithfulness. Summary Verse (Psalm 56:3) “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” This simple but profound statement is a timeless encouragement for anyone facing fear, anxiety, or danger. #Psalm56 #TrustInGod #FaithOverFear #GodSeesMyTears #WhenIAmAfraid #GodIsForMe #FearNot #FaithInDarkTimes #TearsInHisBottle #PraiseInTheStorm #WalkInTheLight #GodDelivers #SpiritualWarfare #ScriptureEncouragement #SendMeRadioBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how your personal faith connects with the pain and injustice in the world, this episode offers a path forward, not in politics or performance, but in deep spiritual formation. Alan sits down with transformation life coach and ministry leader Brenda Renderos for a tender, honest conversation at the intersection of soul care and justice, especially racial justice. Drawing from her years of experience walking with individuals toward greater wholeness, Brenda shares how a deeply rooted faith can lead to healing, redemptive engagement with our neighbors. Together, they explore: How inner transformation and outward justice are connected Why justice isn’t about guilt or shame but about love and presence What to do when justice work feels overwhelming or exhausting And how to take one Spirit-led step forward at a time This episode invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and consider how Christ might be forming you for justice that flows from the heart. Brenda’s Invitations to Dig Deeper: The prophets call out religious devotion that ignores justice (Isaiah 58, Amos 5). Jesus admonished the Pharisees for tithing religiously but neglecting 'justice, mercy, and faithfulness' (Matthew 23:23). Is my spiritual life making me more just? And is my work for justice making me more Christlike? What is shaping my view of justice? Am I looking at it through a cultural lens, a political lens, or a biblical lens? A great way to begin is by simply sitting with scripture. Read passages like Isaiah 1:17, Micah 6:8, or Luke 4:18-19, and ask: What does God say about justice? What does this reveal about his heart? What is his invitation for me in this season? What is one small way I can stay engaged this week, even if it feels slow? And trust that even the small things matter in God's bigger story. ______________________________________________________ Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living website and her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads Learn about PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Why Did It Take So Long to Arrest An SC Lawmaker Charged With Distributing Videos of Men Raping Babies?   Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are accustomed to being disgusted by politicians who happily take part in the Good Ole Boy system when it comes to protecting bad actors from taking accountability. But this latest case has them screaming with anger.  Last month, South Carolina state Rep. Robert John “RJ” May III was arrested and charged with 10 federal counts of distributing child sex abuse materials. So why is it taking so long for RJ May to be removed from office? Why was there so much hesitation and delay before arresting him? And why was his case given to two agencies that had very personal ties to him?  Mandy and Liz explore the answers to those questions, as well as the biggest question of all: Why aren't men accused of perpetuating such vile and heinous abuse of children — including babies — not seen as immediate potential threats to society?  Plus, (24:30) Part Two of our real-time coverage of the Scott Spivey shooting (AKA the Horry County Police Department corruption case) about Weldon Boyd's star witness, Witness No. 1. Mandy and Liz continue connecting the dots and digging into the inconsistencies in witness testimony and have found themselves at a complete loss for why the South Carolina Attorney General's Office continues to refuse to appoint a special prosecutor to the state's biggest “Stand Your Ground” case.  Let's dive in!
