Author Andrew Aydin joins host Tim Boyum to talk about his new book about Hurricane Helene nearly two years after the storm devastated western North Carolina. The book tells first-hand survivor stories and also uses comics, an Aydin specialty, to amplify the stories. Aydin is a New York Times bestselling author and wrote a comic book memoir series with U.S. Rep. John Lewis, for whom he worked leading up to the civil rights leader's death.
What do you feel when you hear the word “gentle”?For me, the word brings a sense of ease. I feel myself soften, relax, and let my guard down.That same feeling of gentleness comes through in Ellie Laks' newest children's book, Gentle, which tells the true story of John Lewis Thunderheart, a calf Ellie rescued when he was just one week old. Through gentle care, patience, and love, John Lewis was given a second chance at life. Six years later, John Lewis Thunderheart is thriving at The Gentle Barn.In this episode of the Wild For Change podcast, we welcome back Ellie Laks, founder of The Gentle Barn, to talk about Gentleness and the remarkable story of John Lewis Thunderheart, which reminds us that gentleness is not weakness. It invites us to see other beings, and perhaps ourselves, a little differently. Sometimes gentleness looks like slowing down. Sometimes it means listening, being patient, offering someone safety, or recognizing that another life matters simply because it exists.And perhaps the invitation of Gentle extends far beyond the pages of a children's book: to re-imagine what our relationships with ourselves, each other, with other beings, and with the Earth might look like if we chose to move through the world a little more gently.Website: http://www.wildforchange.comTwitter: @WildForChangeFacebook: /wildforchangeInstagram: wildforchange
The Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff is suddenly the name on everyone's lips. With his careful oratory and intangible 'it factor' comparisons have been made with a young Barack Obama. But who is the 39-year-old from Atlanta? Born in 1987 Ossoff grew up in Georgia where he attended a private school in the wealthy neighbourhood of Druid Hills. While at school Ossoff wrote to the civil rights leader and U.S. representative John Lewis who offered Ossoff an internship. He attended Georgetown University before moving to London to study at the London School of Economics. While in London Ossoff founded a media company where he worked as an investigative journalist producing films about corruption and human rights abuses. In 2017 he made his first foray into politics when a seat became available in his native Georgia. Despite being a complete unknown Ossoff broke fundraising records for a U.S. House candidate and received a large share of the vote. He didn't win the first time instead securing a seat in 2021. As a Jewish Democrat in a state with strong Republican support many say that Ossoff has his work cut out. Yet he appears to have mass appeal. Having been vouched for by Congressman John Lewis Ossoff has won the trust of many of Georgia's black voters. He's also developed a reputation for forensic takedowns of his opponents in government recently hitting the headlines after taking a crack at Donald Trump and his assistant Natalie Harp. Ossoff has said he has no plans to run for president himself but as veteran Democrat strategist Hank Sheinkopf observes 'He would say that wouldn't he?'Production: Presenter: Stephen Smith Producers: Annabel Deas and Bethan Ashmead Production Coordinator: Sabine Schereck Sound: James Beard Editor: Justine Lang
August 28, 2026On August 28, 1963, Reverend Dr Martin Luther King spoke at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, His speech was about race, but also about economics, John Lewis also spoke, calling for peaceful demonstrations and the vote, In 1964, voters gave Democrats a strong majority in Congress and, with President Lyndon B. Johnson, were able to pass 84 new laws putting Johnson's Great Society in Place, The laws cemented civil rights, created jobs, provided aid for job training and education, created Medicare and Medicaid, protected consumers and the environment, and provided support for the arts and the humanities, With the election of Richard Nixon the race to tear apart this commitment by appealing to racism was on, And in 2026 the Trump administration is abandoning Temporary Protected Status for Haitians who came to the US because it was too dangerous for them at home, Meanwhile vast sums are being contributed to keeping Republicans in office as they funnel money upward and dismantle the government, Republican candidates are calling for ICE and retired police to be deployed to intimidate voters in the midterms.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Trump's election power grab just got a boost from the Supreme Court. But can Democrats hold together long enough to stop him?The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to move forward, for now, with its effort to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. What does the ruling actually mean for voters — and is the bigger danger the immediate restriction of voting rights, or the chaos and distrust it could create around the election?I'm joined by Michaeleen Crowell, former Chief of Staff to Bernie Sanders, former legislative director for John Lewis, and a longtime voting-rights advocate, for a wide-ranging conversation about the stakes for American democracy.We dig into:What the Supreme Court's mail-voting ruling actually does — and doesn't doWhy the Trump administration's effort could create confusion and post-election chaosWhether the Supreme Court has become too powerful — and how Democrats could rein it inWhy Congress needs to reclaim its constitutional roleThe growing tensions between the Democratic Party, progressives, and the Democratic Socialists of AmericaWhy Michaeleen says the progressive movement is bringing energy the Democratic Party desperately needsWhether the DSA controversy is being exaggerated — and when Democrats should draw a line with its fringe leadershipWhat Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign can teach Democrats todayWhy Democrats need to stop fighting a circular firing squad before the 2026 electionWhat the party should do after the election to resolve the deeper conflictAnd the bigger question: Can Democrats become the party of change while keeping their coalition together?Michaeleen and I have known each other for nearly 25 years and have often occupied different wings of the Democratic Party. That makes this conversation especially interesting: we agree on the need to defeat Trump, but we have a real debate over how Democrats should handle the progressive movement, the DSA, and the future of the party.The immediate goal is simple: save the republic. The harder conversation comes afterward.Chapters00:00 — Trump, the Supreme Court & the fight for the 2026 election04:00 — Why Democrats are the last firewall06:00 — Michaeleen Crowell joins the conversation07:00 — What the Supreme Court's mail-voting ruling means09:00 — Is mail-in voting really a Democratic advantage?10:00 — Trump's bigger goal: chaos and distrust11:00 — Could the election become a post-election fight?13:00 — The problem with Trump's “citizenship lists”15:00 — The voting paperwork nightmare17:00 — The Supreme Court's power and “judicial supremacy”20:00 — How should Democrats rein in the Supreme Court?22:00 — The MAGA catch-22: win elections, then change the system24:00 — The fight to protect voting rights27:00 — Can threats to democracy actually drive turnout?28:00 — The Democratic Party's fight with its progressive wing30:00 — The four camps in the DSA debate31:00 — Michaeleen: “I'm a lifelong Democrat”33:00 — What Democrats are missing about the progressive movement35:00 — Why Democrats can't form a circular firing squad37:00 — Where Michaeleen and I disagree about the DSA40:00 — Is the DSA actually part of the Democratic Party?41:00 — Why Democrats need to hold together now43:00 — What Bernie Sanders supporters still remember from 201645:00 — The fight Democrats need to have in 202847:00 — Can AOC help define the future of Democratic socialism?49:00 — What Bernie got right about Democratic politics52:00 — Accountability, affordability and the demand for change54:00 — A surprise interruption: Dolly Parton56:00 — What Democrats need to do nextSubscribe to Worth Knowing with Matt Robison for conversations about politics, science, economics, psychology, technology, and the forces shaping the world around us.#Trump #SupremeCourt #2026Midterms #Democrats #DSA #MailInVoting #DemocraticParty #Election2026
Voters Right Act, Chicago Tribune, Slate, NY Times On the Eve of the 2026 March on Washington, we reflect back to August 6th, 1965 the Voting Rights Act was Signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. C.T. Vivian, a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement, was violently attacked by Sheriff Jim Clark while attempting to escort a group of African Americans to register to vote. Steve Fiffer is a New York Times Bestselling Author. His Book is "It's in The Action": Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior, Rev C.T. Vivian's Memoir.Reverend Vivian was a Major Force in the Fight for Civil Rights & Voters Rights in the Twentieth Century till he Passed July 17th, 2020.Regardless of Social Status, Party Affiliation or Belief, Race: Libertarian, Democrat, Progressive or Republican or Other, All Americans Should Have the Right to Vote!Senator Barack Obama, speaking at Selma's Brown Chapel on the March 2007, anniversary of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, recognized Vivian in his opening remarks in the words of Martin L. King Jr. as "the greatest preacher to ever live."Studying for the ministry at American Baptist Theological Seminary (now called American Baptist College) in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1959, Vivian met James Lawson, who was teaching Mohandas Gandhi's nonviolent direct action strategy to the Nashville Student Movement. Soon Lawson's students, including Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, James Bevel, John Lewis and others from American Baptist, Fisk University and Tennessee State University, organized a systematic nonviolent sit-in campaign at local lunch counters.Vivian helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, and helped organize the first sit-ins in Nashville in 1960 and the first civil rights march in 1961. In 1961, Vivian participated in Freedom Rides. He worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the national director of affiliates for the SCLC. During the summer following the Selma Voting Rights Movement, Vivian is perhaps best known for, Vivian challenged Sheriff Jim Clark on the steps of the courthouse in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 during a drive to promote Black people to register to vote."You can turn your back on me, but you cannot turn your back upon the idea of justice," Vivian said to Clark as reporters recorded the interaction. "You can turn your back now and you can keep the club in your hand, but you cannot beat down justice. And we will register to vote, because as citizens of these United States we have the right to do it."Vivian conceived and directed an educational program, Vision, and put 702 Alabama students in college with scholarships (this program later became Upward Bound). His 1970 Black Power and the American Myth was the first book on the Civil Rights Movement by a member of Martin Luther King's staff.On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama named Vivian as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.Steve's own Memoir is "Three Quarters, Two Dimes, and a Nickel".

Let me put it this way, if you say your floorboards are brown and Hyram says they're red, he'll cut your family's throat over them before he lets you be right. If you say the sky is blue and Hyram says it's orange, he's likely to set your inn on fire rather than admit he was wrong.We'd love your feedback - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, hit the follow button today!**Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Louis Critchley has been working in the VO industry for 15 months with Voicefox Agency! 15 MONTHS people!

Over the past 15+ years, Jae Henderson has built products alongside food chemists, cowboys, software developers, designers, and politicians — a career path that's taken him from Capitol Hill to Sweden to a Nevada distillery. He calls it magic: people of different expertise and different starting points, all arriving somewhere together. He's the person people call when they have an idea and no clue how to bring it to life — because ideas are a dime a dozen; it's all in the execution. He was a founding product leader at the Bloomberg Philanthropies–funded Black Wealth Data Center and helped launch three award-winning spirits brands as a member of the founding team at Bently Heritage Estate Distillery. Today he's the Co-Founder & CEO of DC Urban Oasis. This hospitality studio uses food, drink, and storytelling to deepen human connection and expand ownership and agency for Culinary Creators. It's a natural extension of something he learned growing up in South Central Los Angeles, watching his great-grandmother turn her house into a gathering place for anyone who walked through the door: that community doesn't just happen, someone has to build it. Jae worked on Capitol Hill for the late Congressman John Lewis and later spent time reimagining inclusive tourism with urban planners in Sweden. A former college rugby player, he now lives in Washington, DC, with his wife and their dog, Cleopatra. He believes the most powerful technology is the kind that brings people together, builds wealth, and leaves the world with a little more magic.

In epsiode 698 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Detria joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. and the impact that had on the woman and leader she became, why she refers to service as a superpower in her new book called""Serving Is a Superpower: Transforming Lives Through the Power of Giving and Receiving", what we receive when we serve others, how we move students from required service to meaningful service, the difference between philanthropy and service, the leadership skills that students develop while doing service, what working for Congressman John Lewis's legacy organization taught her personally about leadership and service, what are the human qualities that technology simply cannot replace, what a meaningful legacy actually looks like, and what could do this week that might begin to change not only someone else's life, but their own. Enjoy!
In ep 186 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, US voice actor Allison Cossitt joins Sam and Mark to talk about how to perform an argument when you go in mid-way! Sam brings an extract from a multi-cast audio book, set way into the distant future. We examine the dread of doing a cold read in a session (or on the show!) and completely messing it up. Mark is handed some very honest feedback, and we reflect on why it's always easier when you've heard someone else read a script first - but the job is working it out for yourself! We're clowning around with an international softball team, there's dark roast deliciousness and a reference to Little Alex Horne!!Our VO question this week is all about why you put off becoming an voice actor for as long as you did?Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way:Alexander Adell and Bertram Lupov were two of the faithful attendants of Multivac. As well as any human beings could, they knew what lay behind the cold, clicking, flashing face -- miles and miles of face -- of that giant computer.Script 2Vernon - I am a living, breathing woman, right in front of you. I'm not some story you can - STOP. Turn back around. Look at me. You do not get to ignore me. You don't have that privilege.[VERNON stares. The silence between them is palpable.]I know you're hurt. I know. But you can't think this is a surprise. You know things have changed between us. This is the most we've spoken in months. Stop. It's too late. That part has already been written, Vernon.

Can animals sense when we need them most? This week on Paranormal Pets, Brandy Stark welcomes back Ellie Laks, founder of The Gentle Barn, to celebrate her new children's book, Gentle, and explore the extraordinary emotional and spiritual connections between animals and children. Ellie shares the remarkable true story of John Lewis, a calf rescued from a slaughterhouse who was gravely ill but, surrounded by love, veterinary care and the companionship of a dog named Skye, grew into a thriving 2,500-pound "grass puppy." She also recounts the deeply moving story of a troubled teenager whose life was transformed through her bond with John Lewis and the animals at The Gentle Barn. From cows that seem to instinctively know whether someone needs laughter, comfort or simply a quiet presence, to the healing power of kindness itself, this episode is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the animals in our lives understand far more than we realize.EPISODE NOTES: When Animals Know Exactly What We NeedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-pets-ghostly-encounters-with-past-pets-pets-animals-on-pet-life-radio--6668039/support.

What does health care truly need now, and who is already showing us the way forward? The newest season of Turn On The Lights centers on one defining question: What does health care need now? Host Philip McAdoo speaks with experts and changemakers about workforce well-being, public health, HIV prevention, aging, technology, AI, cybersecurity, patient advocacy, and health equity. Rather than focusing solely on problems, each conversation highlights practical strategies, innovative thinking, and the leaders driving meaningful improvement across the health care system. Together, these stories reinforce that better care begins with trust, safety, dignity, and a willingness to listen. If you're passionate about improving health care through leadership, innovation, equity, and human-centered care, this season offers inspiring conversations you won't want to miss. About Dr. Philip McAdoo: Dr. Philip McAdoo is a highly accomplished individual with an impressive background. He boasts a degree in communications studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an MA in transformative leadership from The California Institute of Integral Studies, and a Doctor of Education from The University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education. Dr. McAdoo is a staunch LGBTQ activist who fearlessly fights homophobia. In collaboration with Rep. John Lewis, he has introduced legislation to Congress that streamlines the process for same-sex couples to adopt children from foster care. As an openly gay educator, Dr. McAdoo specializes in character development, diversity, and inclusion. He has authored articles on these topics and has led numerous workshops and professional development sessions on LGBTQ advocacy. Additionally, Dr. McAdoo is a published author with three books under his belt: Every Child Deserves, Darius Wants a Dog, and Independent Queers: LGBTQ Educators in Independent Schools Speak Out. He is also the Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Philip McAdoo Diversity and Inclusion Consulting, LLC. Currently based in Maryland with his partner, Sean, his son, Zaden, and their dogs, Bart-ley and Dobby, Dr. McAdoo exudes confidence and an unwavering commitment to his work. Things You'll Learn: Health care improvement starts with supporting the workforce caring for patients every day. Equity requires addressing the communities that continue to be left behind. Public health lessons from HIV remain highly relevant today. Person-centered care should be designed around what matters most to patients. Technology should strengthen trust, not simply automate processes. AI, cybersecurity, and digital transformation require strong leadership and governance. Patient advocacy remains essential for reducing disparities. Meaningful improvement begins by listening to patients, caregivers, and communities.

In ep 185 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Magnus Rook joins Sam and Mark to talk about how a cold read is sometimes impossible, because you need to know what's coming next in order to structure the delivery. We approach a charity script with some conversational levity, but without throwing away the main points, and discover that some people work in very different ways. We also ask is it ever worth breaking a script down line by line, and do you build a list, or give each item a slightly different flavour? Oh, then there's the whole debate about the abbreviation "i.e."!! Obsessions are to do with summer and the heat... and we hear a story of a double-decker nightmare!Our VO question this week is all about how doing other things apart from voice acting can really bring a boost to your VA career.Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1Did you know that everyone on the planet is just six social connections away from each other? Community-based volunteers are the social glue between individuals, groups and organisations. They boost community cohesion, bond people together and bridge differences. Within any community 20% of people are great at getting things done. Volunteers are ordinary people but they can achieve extraordinary things. Their super talents are simple: practical skills, local knowledge, common sense, familiarity with different situations, a myriad of contacts - and the ability to discover the stories and traditions that make a community special.Script 2The seminal example, of course, is using bow wow to mean a dog and not just to imitate a dog's barking, providing the impetus for the theory's moniker. In a somewhat similar vein, the pooh-pooh theory hypothesized that language evolved from the interjections (ah!) and emotional cries humans made, like the primordial grunt that still escapes when you painfully stub your toe. Müller's own idea was that sounds themselves carried intrinsic meaning, like a low-¬pitched sound giving off a sense of something big, i.e., as in a blob (low vowel) compared to the smaller sounding bleeb (high vowel).We'd love your feedback - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, hit the follow button today!**Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Magnus Rook is a German actor and voice actor based in London. 98% of his work is in German, but he's branching out more into the English language market these days.

In ep 184 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Brigid Lohrey joins Sam and Mark to talk about approaching an Apple News script in a very specific way - bringing it to full conversational, but not too rounded. We explore performances where you're left feeling, "Surely you want more than this?" Are we being told to make everything blander?? We talk about how directors can be really helpful in setting the scene for us, and how nothing moves fast underwater! Plus is it a help or a hinderance if a script is labelled as "corporate"? Our obsessions are West End theatre and summer night attire!Our VO question this week is all about whether you should be upfront about your natural accent if you come from more than one place!Get involved!

Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1Compared to the bustle of spring, it's quiet in the autumn forest; I miss the hoards of gently pulsating sea jellies that cloud the water all summer long and lament the absence of spider crabs that have migrated back to deeper water. Territorial by nature, ballan wrasse remain in residence, patrolling their patch among the kelp. I spot a chunky male, coloured amber to match the scene and greet him with a broad smile that lets a trickle of cold water into my dive mask.Script 2Murder in Paradise: The Unsolved Killings on Australia's East Coast. The NSW north coast has a disturbing history of unsolved murders and disappearances. Have its beaches, roads and rainforests been a killing ground for one or more serial killers? Written for Australian Women's Weekly. A young woman is standing on a road leading to the Pacific Highway, her thumb out, hitching. With her long hair and cut-off jeans she doesn't wait long to be picked up. She is never seen again.

And I want to make this episode so you and I can have a real talk about how we can make social justice in parenting a practice that is strategic, satiating, and sustaining. So that you don't have to feel empty or performative. So that we can keep abolishing policing in our heads, in our homes, and in our neighborhoods together, one interaction at a time. That's why in this episode, you and I are going to discuss the limitation of this idea of raising kids to be good and explore an alternative which is raising kids to “make good trouble” per John Lewis.---------------------------Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcastFor more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare on Instagram!Sign up for our weekly Care Collective Newsletter for information and inspiration on topics like decolonized parenting, embodied, body-based centering practices for you and your children, intergenerational family healing, and more.I invite you to join me in a virtual gathering once a month for you to digest the information in the podcast with other Social Justice Curious listeners.

She was running across the croquet lawn to speak to her sister-in-law, when she tripped over a hoop that had been accidentally left there, and, in falling, ran a hatpin into her head. Blood poisoning ensued, and within a fortnight she was dead. Martha was the only one in the house who associated Mary's accident and death with the Piper; and she could not but suspect that, in some way or another, he had brought about the catastrophe.Script 2When your grandma picked out that shirt, did she tell you she hated you or could you guess?If you're wondering why your friends are running faster, get a mirror!

Of course she then spent over 20 years as a pharmacy technician, mostly in a hospital or oncology setting… which, to be fair, opened the door to working in e-learning and corporate.

Unitarian minister Curtis Reese, a co-founder of the American Humanist Association, called humanism "the religion of democracy" for a reason: the radical conviction that truth, morality, and power do not rightly reside in an external source, but in us. What would it look like to believe in our neighbors with the same kind of reverence that others reserve for a deity? As part of Good Trouble Lives On weekend, join UUCA member and Executive Director of the American Humanist Association, Fish Stark, as we celebrate the legacy of Rep. John Lewis through this love letter to democracy — weaving together history, philosophy, psychology, and theology to lay out a blueprint for how UUs, humanists, and anyone who believes in people can lean into the fight against authoritarianism, feed our fire of commitment, and defend the sacred principle that people are worth believing in.

By 1455, Gutenberg's press had already produced a series of printed documents and, most remarkably, a magnificent Latin Bible—an achievement that would forever change the spread of knowledge.But just as Gutenberg stood on the brink of success, disaster struck.Script 2By the time he got to his desk the following morning, Stirling's abdomen still felt like he'd done a hundred crunches, and he groaned at the pain as he sat down. He didn't intend to get up soon and feel that again. He spent half an hour going through the paperwork in his desk, signing off on things and putting papers in their proper piles for filing. Each time he bent his stomach even a little, it reminded him of the cramped muscles there. He picked up the phone and started looking through his notebook for his doctor's number.

This Day in Legal History: Civil Rights Act of 1964On July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. It was one of the most important pieces of legislation in American history, and it fundamentally transformed the legal landscape by banning discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in public accommodations, employment, education, and programs receiving federal funding.The Civil Rights Act was the product of the Civil Rights Movement—years of courageous activism by Black Americans and their allies who marched, protested, and demanded that the law recognize their equal humanity and their constitutional rights. The movement included iconic figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, John Lewis, and countless others whose names we'll never know but whose courage changed America.The Act made it illegal for hotels, restaurants, theaters, and other public places to refuse service based on race. It made employment discrimination illegal. It empowered the federal government to withhold funding from schools and institutions that discriminated. It created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to investigate and remedy workplace discrimination.Before the Civil Rights Act, the law itself endorsed discrimination. Southern states had explicit “Jim Crow” laws that required racial segregation. “Whites only” signs hung on businesses, schools, water fountains, and bathrooms. The law said Black Americans couldn't use the same facilities as white Americans. The Civil Rights Act said that's unconstitutional and illegal. It didn't end racism—racism persisted and persists today—but it transformed the law from a tool of discrimination into a tool of protection. The Act represented a moral and legal turning point. It affirmed that the Constitution's promise of equal protection applies to everyone, regardless of race. It showed that the law can change when people demand justice. It demonstrated that the Civil Rights Movement's sacrifice—the beatings, the arrests, the deaths, the long struggle—could actually transform American law and create a more just society.The Civil Rights Act remains one of the most important achievements in American legal history. Every civil rights protection we have today—protection against employment discrimination, housing discrimination, educational discrimination—traces back to that law signed on July 2, 1964. It's a reminder that legal change comes from struggle, from people willing to demand their rights, and from a government finally willing to recognize the dignity and equality of all its citizens.The Supreme Court's use of its “shadow docket”—an informal process for issuing emergency decisions with minimal explanation—has expanded dramatically, and the justices are sharply divided over whether this is appropriate.The Supreme Court has a formal process for cases: parties file briefs, the Court hears oral arguments, justices deliberate, and then the Court issues a written opinion explaining its reasoning. This is the public docket. But the Supreme Court also has an emergency process called the “shadow docket” for last-minute requests for emergency relief. For example, if someone is about to be executed and files an emergency request for a stay, the Court needs to decide quickly. Traditionally, the shadow docket was used only for these genuine emergencies. But in recent years, particularly under the current Supreme Court, the shadow docket has been used for major constitutional decisions. The Court will issue orders on the shadow docket with little or no explanation, effectively deciding important cases without full briefing, oral arguments, or written opinions.Imagine if a school made major policy changes through emergency procedures meant only for fire drills, without explaining the policy or letting people comment on it. That's what's happening with the Supreme Court's shadow docket. Conservative justices defend the practice, saying the Court needs flexibility to respond to emerging issues. Liberal justices are furious, arguing that major constitutional decisions require full briefing and transparent reasoning. They point out that decisions on the shadow docket often don't explain the Court's reasoning, making it impossible for lower courts to apply the law or for Americans to understand their constitutional rights. The shadow docket has been used for decisions affecting voting rights, abortion, immigration, and religious freedom—major constitutional questions that deserve full public deliberation.The shadow docket allows the Supreme Court to reshape constitutional law without public explanation or accountability. It enables the conservative majority to implement a constitutional agenda without transparent reasoning. It divides even the justices—a sign that this practice is controversial even at the highest level. The shadow docket represents a concerning shift toward less transparent, less democratic judicial decision-making on matters of profound constitutional importance.US Supreme Court supercharges its ‘shadow docket,' dividing the justices | ReutersThe Minnesota Attorney General has shut down its unit dedicated to reviewing and overturning wrongful convictions, citing budget constraints. The decision has shocked criminal justice advocates who view wrongful conviction review as a core function of government. Here's the context: Innocent people sometimes go to prison. Witnesses misidentify them. Evidence is planted or fabricated. Police coerce false confessions. Lawyers provide inadequate representation. DNA evidence may later prove innocence. Many states have created units—often within the Attorney General's office—dedicated to reviewing cases where there's evidence of wrongful conviction and seeking to overturn convictions when appropriate. These units have freed hundreds of innocent people from prison. In Minnesota, this unit reviewed cases, worked with innocence organizations, and petitioned courts to overturn convictions when evidence showed innocence. Now that unit is being shut down.If you discovered you had been wrongly convicted and imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit, you would want the government to help free you. You would want the justice system to correct its own mistakes. Wrongful conviction units exist to do exactly that—to correct serious errors in the criminal justice system. When the government shuts down its wrongful conviction unit, it's saying it will no longer systematically look for innocent people who have been wrongly imprisoned. Think of the human cost. People serving decades in prison for crimes they didn't commit may never have their convictions reviewed. Their appeals for help will go unanswered. The government agency that should be most interested in justice—the Attorney General—has decided it can't afford to help innocent prisoners.This decision signals a deprioritization of wrongful convictions and prisoner justice. It means innocent people will remain in prison because the state won't investigate their claims. It undermines public faith in the criminal justice system. It suggests that budget concerns are more important than freeing innocent people. Criminal justice advocates worry this is part of a broader pattern: reduced funding for public defenders, reduced funding for innocence organizations, and now elimination of the state's own wrongful conviction review unit. The decision raises a fundamental question: Do we actually care about justice, or do we only care about convictions?Minnesota attorney general shuts unit reviewing wrongful convictions, cites Trump funding cut | ReutersA federal judge has blocked the U.S. Postal Service from implementing restrictions that would have made mail-in voting more difficult. The ruling is a significant victory for voting rights advocates.The Postal Service proposed new restrictions on how mail-in ballots could be delivered. These restrictions would have required mail-in voters to meet stricter deadlines, reduced ballot processing times, and imposed other requirements that voting rights groups argued would disenfranchise voters, particularly voters in rural areas and voters with disabilities who rely on mail-in voting. Voting rights advocates sued, arguing that the restrictions would violate the right to vote. The federal judge agreed and blocked the restrictions.The right to vote is fundamental to democracy. Mail-in voting is a way many Americans exercise that right—people who are elderly, disabled, working on election day, or living in areas far from polling places depend on mail-in voting. When the government imposes restrictions that make mail-in voting harder, it's making it harder for people to vote. The Postal Service argued it needed to implement restrictions for operational reasons. The judge said operational concerns can't be used to interfere with voting rights. If the Postal Service needs to adjust its operations, it has to do so in ways that don't undermine the right to vote.This decision protects mail-in voting access at a time when voting rights are under increasing attack. It affirms that the right to vote can't be sacrificed for bureaucratic convenience. It signals that courts will step in if government agencies try to restrict voting access. As more Americans rely on mail-in voting, protecting mail-in voting access is essential to protecting voting rights. The decision reflects a judicial recognition that voting is a fundamental right and that restrictions on voting deserve strict scrutiny, not deference to government agencies.Judge blocks US Postal Service's proposed restrictions on mail-in voting | Reuters This is a public episode.

Send us Fan MailTrump's DOJ Just Tested the First AmendmentDonald Trump says this is about law and order.History says we've heard that before.In today's Opening Argument, I tell the story of a 25-year-old man named John Lewis walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965. The government told him not to march. The government told him to go home. The government used force to silence dissent.For a few terrible minutes, government power looked unstoppable.But the Constitution plays the long game.Now, sixty years later, the Department of Justice has indicted 15 people in Minnesota under an initiative tied to Trump's executive order targeting what his administration calls "antifa."If someone commits a crime, charge the crime.But what happens when government starts attaching political labels to dissent?What happens when criticism begins to look suspicious to the people holding power?What happens when Americans exercising constitutional rights start being described as enemies instead of citizens?We've seen this story before.And history has a lesson for people who underestimate liberty.☕ Today's Opening Argument is presented by Squawk Boss CoffeeFuel your freedom: https://SquawkBossCoffee.com

Shopping doesn't come without potential challenges if you're blind or partially sighted: locating the items you want and, depending on your level of sight, being able to get up close enough to understand if what you've found is really what you were after. Well, John Lewis is the latest brand trying to help, developping a pilot guided shopping scheme within their flagship store in London. In Touch sent along Emma and Dave Williams to try it out and John Lewis' Head of the Oxford Street branch tells us about any potential plans for a wider roll-out of the scheme. The Commonwealth Games will be taking place in Glasgow in July. The Games run every four years and welcome athletes from across the Commonwealth of Nations. This year, visually impaired sisters Astrid and Ursula Carroll will be competing in swimming, but for different teams (Astrid for Team Scotland and Ursula for Team England). How did this happen? The pair explain more and discuss their training, and what they are looking forward to about the Commonwealth Games.Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Helen Surtees Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper.

What does it mean to cause "good trouble"? In this message, we explore the calling of the prophet—someone who holds up a "God-given mirror" to society and speaks truth, even when it's uncomfortable.1 Drawing on the story of Elijah confronting King Ahab and the legacy of civil rights leader John Lewis, this sermon examines the personal cost of faithfulness and what it looks like to live on the edge of trust when God calls us to act. fmhouston.com
What would it mean for your retail business if — right now, at this very moment — three thousand creators were actively requesting samples to promote your brand? That's not a fantasy for Luke Arnall-Cameron, founder of YAS CLEAN. It's Tuesday. That's just how his business works.Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly.In this episode, I sit down with Luke Arnall-Cameron — a former John Lewis graduate buyer and marketing director turned TikTok creator and brand founder — to unpick one of the most significant shifts happening in retail right now: discovery commerce. TikTok Shop has fundamentally changed how products reach consumers. Instead of paying for ads, brands are now building creator networks — and the smartest ones are doing it in a way that mirrors exactly what every good retailer already knows about range building, customer loyalty, and repeat purchase.Luke launched YAS CLEAN in November 2024. His first livestream generated £70,000. Within his first year he fulfilled over 650,000 orders across six countries, sold 10,000 bottles of one product in seven days, and achieved 45% repeat customer rates in December — for a cleaning brand, in the hardest trading month of the year. He also won TikTok's Breakout Seller of the Year Award.But what makes this conversation genuinely useful for any product business owner isn't the headline numbers. It's the retail logic behind every decision he made — why virality isn't a strategy, how to think about product range in a world driven by social selling, and what discovery commerce means for anyone selling physical products. If you want to understand whether TikTok Shop belongs in your channel mix, this episode is for you.Chapter Timestamps00:00 — The hook: 3,000 creators waiting to promote one product01:26 — Luke's retail career: From John Lewis buyer to TikTok creator04:12 — YAS CLEAN launch: £70K first livestream and 650,000 orders in year one10:02 — Building a product range vs chasing viral moments15:45 — Discovery commerce explained: How TikTok Shop's creator model works19:34 — Live shopping as real-time customer feedbackUseful LinksYAS CLEAN on TikTok: @yascleanResilient Retail Club: www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast/Catherine on LinkedIn: uk.linkedin.com/in/catherineerdlyMentioned in this episode:Faire 50% off - use code 'Resilient50'
We were so lucky this week to talk to Judy Richardson, who fought for civil rights alongside John Lewis during the original 1964 Freedom Summer. She hasn't stopped fighting in the years since and we were honored to hear her inspiring (and, at times, harrowing) stories of being shot at by white supremacists, years of on-the-ground organizing, and hunger strikes in jail. It was all worth it, Judy says, to pursue voting rights for Black people in the South.When we asked her what kept her going through the hard times (and what keeps her going today), she had a few answers that we could really relate to. First, she said it's her anger at the injustice. Second, it's music -- protest music, gospel music, and even salsa. Third, and most importantly, it's the people. Once she saw the courage and dedication of her fellow workers at the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, she felt she didn't have a choice but to continue the work. What we're seeing with voting rights this year is unfortunately way too similar to what Judy was fighting back in the 1960s. But far from giving up, Judy energized us to carry on the work for the next generation.Don't miss this episode! Judy is a national treasure.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue. You can learn more about us at www.redwine.blue or follow us on social media!

Send us Fan MailTogetherness is not a warm slogan, it's the only way we meet the scale of what's in front of us. From the start, we press on a simple question: how do you remember the past honestly without letting it turn into bitterness? In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with Senator Jon Ossoff about faith, leadership, and what it takes to build a better world when the headlines feel like a steady stream of bad news. Ossoff traces his moral education through the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and the civil rights movement in Georgia, including the historic alliance between Black and Jewish communities in the South. He shares the powerful symbolism of being sworn into the US Senate on scripture belonging to Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, the Atlanta rabbi whose temple was bombed in 1958 for supporting Dr. King and the SCLC. They discuss what interfaith coalition building looks like when it's real, not performative, and why serious faith traditions should pull us alongside each other when the stakes are high. Listen in for the full conversation. Born and raised in Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff serves as our Senior United States Senator. Since his election, Sen. Ossoff has built bipartisanship in the Senate to achieve meaningful legislative results for Georgia — even in a divided Congress. In his first two years in office, Sen. Ossoff passed into law more standalone bills than any other freshman Senator. Sen. Ossoff's legislative achievements include laws to protect children online; to strengthen public safety; to tackle the opioid epidemic and prevent fentanyl trafficking across the Southern Border; to investigate unsolved lynchings and Civil Rights murders; to strengthen mental health care services for veterans; and to fight corruption and improve security in U.S. prisons.
