La información de que una segunda persona ha sido detenida por comprar cédulas es intrascendente y salió en las páginas interiores de los diarios, pero es trascendente para llamar la atención sobre el avance institucional en el ministerio público de nuestro país. Es la primera vez en nuestra historia que se inicia un proceso real contra un delito de este tipo. Presos hemos tenido pero no más allá del uso del poder en el partido de turno. Sobre todo en el balaguerato la policía electoral actuaba en contra de la oposición pero de policía no pasaba Hoy nos estrenamos ante la realidad de un proceso que avance o no, dependerá de un sistema. Pero desde ahora comprar cédulas implica un riesgo personal que muchos tendrán que tomar en cuenta. En una reunión que tuve con una experta en el área me decía que el titular de delitos electorales, magistrado Iván Féliz, está formado en ciber delitos pero que se ha “puesto para eso” Eliezer de los Santos tiene 29 años fue sorprendido el día de las elecciones con varias cédulas de identidad y electoral y RD$41 mil en denominaciones de quinientos pesos, que les fueron ocupados por miembros de la Fiscalía de María Trinidad Sánchez, la Procuraduría Especializada contra los Delitos Electorales y de la Policía que se encontraban de servicio en la zona. Yo apuesto peso a moriqueta que Eliezer nunca pensó que contra existiría la orden de arresto número 121 emitida por el juzgado de atención permanente de Nagua. La semana pasada le impusieron una medida de coerción por los mismos delitos a Jeffrey Alexander de la Rosa en Santiago. Insisto en que yo no sé si los casos progresen en un sistema de justicia aletargado y además lastrado por el derecho de la gente que tiene más dinero para pagar abogados. Pero tanto Eliezer como Jeffrey tendrán que pagar abogados, tendrán que acudir al tribunal tantas veces sea necesario y con eso dejar de trabajar y tendrán que asumir el costo de sus procesos. El fiscal electoral ha dicho que avanzan las investigaciones de varias denuncias en distintos lugares del país y que actuará conforme actúan los fiscales a propósito de las evidencias que puedan recaudar. Siempre habrá tigueraje electoral pero ahora tienen razones para afinar su puntería.

Medea Benjamin joins the show to talk about her recent trip to Ukraine and why it's so dangerous to call for diplomacy and a cease fire. Not only has Medea (and others calling for negotiations) been smeared and had her talks canceled, she was threatened by a "protestor" who took her phone as she attempted to film him. Even worse, the protestor physically attacked by a 70 year old member of Veterans for Peace who tried to help her retrieve her phone and then had to be rushed to the emergency room with a dislocated shoulder. Then Jeffrey Alexander Sterling, an American lawyer and former CIA employee who was arrested, charged, and convicted of violating the Espionage Act, talks about the fate of Julian Assange. Medea Benjamin is the co-founder of the women-led peace group CODEPINK. She is also co-founder of the human rights group Global Exchange, the Peace in Ukraine Coalition, Unfreeze Afghanistan (which advocates for returning the $7 billion of Afghan funds frozen in U.S. banks), ACERE: The Alliance for Cuba Engagement and Respect, and the Nobel Peace Prize for Cuban Doctors Campaign. Medea has been an advocate for social justice for 50 years. Described as "one of America's most committed -- and most effective -- fighters for human rights" by New York Newsday, and "one of the high profile leaders of the peace movement" by the Los Angeles Times, she was one of 1,000 exemplary women from 140 countries nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the millions of women who do the essential work of peace worldwide. She is the author of ten books, including Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control, Kingdom of the Unjust: Behind the U.S.-Saudi Connection, and Inside Iran: The Real History and Politics of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Her most recent book, coauthored with Nicolas J.S. Davies, is War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict. Her articles appear regularly in outlets such as The Hill, Salon, CommonDreams and The Progressive. Her twitter handle is @medeabenjamin.

His memoir Unwanted Spy chronicles his experience with race not only within the CIA but also in America. He is currently part of the progressive RootsAction team.

Scientific peer review is widely used as a way to distribute scarce resources in academic science, whether those are scarce research dollars or scarce journal pages. At the same time, peer review has several potential short-comings. One alternative is to empower individuals to make decisions about how to allocate scientific resources. Indeed, we do this with journal editors and grant makers, though generally in consultation with peer review. Under what conditions might we expect individuals empowered to exercise independent judgement to outperform peer review?This podcast is an audio read through of the (initial version of the) article "Can taste beat peer review?", originally published on New Things Under the Sun.Articles mentionedWagner, Caroline S., and Jeffrey Alexander. 2013.

Through the heart of Hollywood cinema runs a surprising current of progressive politics. Sports movies, a genre that has flourished since the mid-seventies, evoke the American dream and represent the nation to itself. Once considered mere credos for Reaganism, on closer view, movies from Rocky (1976) to Ali (2001) dream of democratic participation and recognition more than individual success. In every case, off-field relationships take precedence over on-field competition. Arranged chronologically, Hollywood Sports Movies and the American Dream (Oxford UP, 2022) tells the story of multiculturalism's gradual adoption. The mainstream's first minority heroes are paradoxically white ethnic, rural, working-class men, exemplified by Rocky, Slap Shot (1977) and The Natural (1984); Black, brown, and women characters follow in White Men Can't Jump (1992), A League of Their Own (1992), and Ali. But despite their insistence on community and diversity these popular dramas show limited faith in civic institutions. Hannah Arendt, Jeffrey Alexander, and others inform original analysis and commentary on the political significance of popular culture. Reading these familiar movies from another angle paints a fresh picture of how the United States has imagined democracy since its bicentennial. In this conversation with host Annie Berke, Dr. Grant Wiedenfeld explains his personal and familial connections to the book's subject matter, discusses why Hollywood sports films don't always have (or need) a "happy ending," and explains how the genre functions as a "civic screen" for the American public in the decades following the Vietnam War. Grant Wiedenfeld earned a PhD from Yale University in Comparative Literature and Film & Media Studies. He taught courses on sports and cinema in Yale's English Department and Film Studies Program before being hired at Sam Houston State University, where he is currently Associate Professor of Media and Culture. Previous publications include studies of Gustave Flaubert, D.W. Griffith, and André Bazin.

But despite their insistence on community and diversity these popular dramas show limited faith in civic institutions. Hannah Arendt, Jeffrey Alexander, and others inform original analysis and commentary on the political significance of popular culture. Reading these familiar movies from another angle paints a fresh picture of how the United States has imagined democracy since its bicentennial. In this conversation with host Annie Berke, Dr. Grant Wiedenfeld explains his personal and familial connections to the book's subject matter, discusses why Hollywood sports films don't always have (or need) a "happy ending," and explains how the genre functions as a "civic screen" for the American public in the decades following the Vietnam War. Grant Wiedenfeld earned a PhD from Yale University in Comparative Literature and Film & Media Studies. He taught courses on sports and cinema in Yale's English Department and Film Studies Program before being hired at Sam Houston State University, where he is currently Associate Professor of Media and Culture. Previous publications include studies of Gustave Flaubert, D.W. Griffith, and André Bazin.

Through the heart of Hollywood cinema runs a surprising current of progressive politics. Sports movies, a genre that has flourished since the mid-seventies, evoke the American dream and represent the nation to itself. Once considered mere credos for Reaganism, on closer view, movies from Rocky (1976) to Ali (2001) dream of democratic participation and recognition more than individual success. In every case, off-field relationships take precedence over on-field competition.
