    What if you could lower your utility bill at the polls? In Georgia, that’s exactly what voters have had the opportunity to do. By flipping two Public Service Commission seats in 2025, they’ve shown that elected officials can be held accountable for rising energy costs. In this episode, host Gloria Riviera speaks with Leslie Palomino, Georgia State Director at Poder Latinx, about how the organization has been mobilizing Latino voters around energy affordability and what’s at stake for upcoming elections later this year.

    What started decades ago at the U.S.-Mexico border didn’t stay there. Journalist, author, and professor Jean Guerrero speaks with Maria Hinojosa and argues that communities on the southern border were a “testing ground” for the increased immigration enforcement that we’re seeing play out across U.S. cities. Jean also makes the case that Honduras may be the next laboratory for something called “startup cities” which could be replicated here.

    After the longest State of the Union address in U.S. history this past Tuesday, we go beyond the lies and omissions to assess where our country stands. A sobering look at what President Trump has built, and dismantled, during his second term in office. We analyze plans to build an economy around mass immigration detention, the precarious state of finances in so many U.S. households, and the duty citizens have to “fight fascism.” Maria Hinojosa speaks with journalists Jasmine Garsd and Kimberly Adams, and author Jason Stanley.

    Xavier Becerra made history in 2017 when he became California's first Latino attorney general for then-Governor Jerry Brown. He went on to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services under former President Joe Biden beginning in 2021. Now, Becerra is running for governor — what he calls a "break-glass moment" for California. Becerra joins Scott to reflect on how his upbringing as a son of working-class immigrant parents shaped his politics and life. They also talk about how Becerra's long career in public service — including many legal victories against the Trump Administration and managing a federal budget that rivals California's own — has prepared him for this moment. This interview is part of a series of conversations with the 2026 gubernatorial candidates for California. The primary election is June 2.

    Chuck is back from Oaxaca — and he brought receipts. This week, Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid reunite to break down the elections and dynamics that will shape the Latino political landscape heading into the 2026 midterms. They open with tributes to Jesse Jackson and Chuck's former union president John Nash, reflecting on the multiracial coalitions that have always driven real change in America. Mike drops a history lesson on the 80th anniversary of Mendez v. Westminster, the landmark school desegregation case that predated Brown v. Board of Education by eight years.Then it's all strategy: the guys dig into the Texas special elections — including the Jasmine Crockett vs. James Talarico Senate race and the fascinating three-way dynamics of the Julie Johnson vs. Colin Allred primary — before pivoting to a district-by-district breakdown of key 2026 House battlegrounds across California, Colorado, and Arizona. Mike explains the "30% magic number" — the historical threshold at which Latino population share has flipped California seats from red to blue — and asks whether that rule still holds in today's rapidly shifting electorate.If you want to understand where the 2026 midterms will really be decided, this is your battlefield briefing.The numbers.

They run a taxpayer-funded media machine whose main goal is to go viral, whether people love or hate the content. The goal is to go viral. But recent polling suggests the strategy could backfire.

    Photo: A wide shot of the west side of the WélmeltiɁ Preserve in north Lake Tahoe, Calif. (Courtesy Elizabeth Carmel) The Washoe Tribe announced its acquisition of more than 10,000 acres of land north of Lake Tahoe. This new WélmeltiɁ Preserve marks the largest tribal land return in the Sierra Nevada and third largest in California. KUNR's Mariel Day has more. The Washoe Tribe recently finalized the purchase of the land in partnership with organizations like the Wildlife Conservation Board. The land spans across from the northeast of Lake Tahoe and to about 20 miles north of Reno. Washoe Tribal Chairman Serrell Smokey says this is an opportunity for the tribe to revitalize their traditional practices, stewardship and language preservation. “The Washoe People, being removed from our lands, fought hard to get every little bit back, and now we actually have something to call ours.” Although the preserve is the first under the Waší·šiw Land Trust, they hope to acquire more of the Washoe homelands. In the meantime, Smokey hopes to start restoring the land and focus on conserving the wildlife and its natural resources – while ensuring it's a safe place for everyone. Super Bowl Halftime headliner Bad Bunny recently won three Grammys, including Album of the Year. He's from Puerto Rico and one song explores colonization in his home and Hawaiʻi. HPR's Cassie Ordonio spoke with Puerto Ricans and Hawaiians last year about the similarities between the islands. Bad Bunny's song, “Lo Que Le Paso A Hawaii”, translates to what happened to Hawaiʻi. Many locals say it highlights stark similarities and is a reminder of the islands' colonial past. Daniel Kauwila Mahi is a Native Hawaiian artist. He interpreted the song as Bad Bunny protecting his homeland by taking a political stance against statehood. Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory in 1898, six years after the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Mahi underscored that Native Hawaiian musicians have been raising issues of over tourism and sovereignty rights. These artists include, but are not limited to, Sudden Rush, Braddah Iz, and “Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's Hawai‘i ‘78”. “For this broader conversation is how Kanaka Maoli and Latino culture have been. through music since Paniolo came to Hawaii and our have have influenced each other for a lot longer than people think.” Angel Santiago-Cruz is a 69-year-old Puerto Rican who has lived in Hawai‘i for about 40 years. He joined the U.S Army with a guarantee to be stationed in Hawaiʻi. He wanted to see what statehood looks like. “What are you going to lose?” One lyric that stood to him was to never forget the lelolai. Santiago-Cruz says it's an expression from the jibaro, which is a person who is connected to the land. “When the Hawaiians say, ea, that’s an expression for your Hawaiianness, that’s an expression to the connection to the island. Lelolai is the same.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today. Download our NV1 Android or iOs App for breaking news alerts.

    In this episode, Dr. Sean M. Viña joins to discuss the ways that social inequality can impact psychedelic healing. Dr. Viña is a sociologist with a PhD from Indiana University whose research focuses on psychedelics and mental health, and social inequality. In this conversation, Dr. Viña explains that while psychedelics are often framed as transformative treatments, their benefits appear unevenly distributed and frequently constrained by structural factors such as income inequality, education, stigma, caregiving burden, segregation, and social isolation. The discussion highlights how women—particularly single mothers—may experience diminished gains due to caregiving demands and stigmatization of mental illness, while Black and Latino populations show little measurable benefit once socioeconomic inequality is accounted for. Throughout, Dr. Viña emphasizes that outcomes are shaped less by the substances themselves than by the sociocultural environments people return to after treatment, underscoring the importance of community integration and structural supports alongside clinical care.   In this episode, you'll hear: What inspired Dr. Viña to research social inequality and psychedelics How caregiving burden, education, and stigma modulate women's mental health outcomes following psychedelic use Why socioeconomic inequality appears to eliminate measurable benefits for many Black and Latino participants The role of segregation, policing environments, and chronic stress in shaping treatment outcomes Why American Indian populations respond better to psychedelic treatments in rural areas with greater access to nature and their culture How having access to private versus public health insurance can impact psychedelic healing Why focusing only on therapist–patient interactions may miss key determinants of success Implications for designing more equitable psychedelic treatments and research   Quotes: "Women who are highly educated actually seem to be getting about as much benefit [from psychedelic treatments] as men who are highly educated, but [lack of] education doesn't seem to negatively affect men the same way it affects women. Again, that's the pattern we see in all kinds of other health resources." [9:36] "One of the studies that we did showed that if it wasn't for education and income differences, there would be a slight benefit [from psychedelics] for black participants in these surveys. But as soon as you accounted for education inequality and income inequality, it was wiped out." [21:40] "I love the concept of the psychedelic renaissance, but when we start thinking about the statistics of who this is helping, this is a renaissance of less than 1% of people, right? This is a very small group of people who are getting benefits, just like many of the other resources that have come out in the past. … all these resources are probably valuable. They're all helpful. But there needs to be more than just the drug. There needs to be a bigger conversation about this society and the community that people are living in."

    According to the latest census figures, there are approximately 3.87 million people of Hispanic or Latino origin living in New York state. They constitute about 19 to 20% of the state's total population, and the majority of this population, which is about 2.5 million, live in New York City, making up 28 or 29% of the city's population. And yet, New York has never elected a Latino to a statewide office or a citywide office. Scholar, activist, political adviser and ordained minister Eliezer "Eli" Valentine has some theories as to why. Valentin joined Errol Louis to talk about this, as well as his book, "Politicking in the Barrio: Essays on Latino Politics in New York." The conversation also reviewed Latino political history and figures, including Fernando Ferrer's mayoral run, former Rep.

Nicknamed the “King of Latin Trap,” he broke out in 2016 with “Diles” and played a pivotal role in mainstreaming Spanish-language urban music globally.Bad Bunny dominated Spotify as the most-streamed artist in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2025, earning six Grammy wins. His 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos made history as the first Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys.The spotlight is on his landmark Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium—a 13-minute set that became the first chiefly Spanish-language headlining performance. Sponsored by Apple Music, it drew 128–135 million U.S. viewers, often called the most-watched halftime show ever, with the NFL YouTube upload hitting 52 million views shortly after.Guests included Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga, blending cultural tributes with high-energy hits. The performance celebrated Latino and Puerto Rican identity, emphasized dancing over language barriers, and carried political messaging against immigration raids and friction with figures like Donald Trump—echoing his Grammys ICE reference.Post-show, tracks surged: “DtMF” (title track) hit #1 on Hot Latin Songs, Latin Streaming Songs, and Latin Digital Song Sales; re-entered Hot 100 Top 10; set a Spanish-song single-day Spotify record with 16.52M streams; and became his 4th Global 200 #1. “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” saw 54% U.S. Spotify lift, while “NUEVAYoL,” “Tití Me Preguntó” (historical Hot 100 #5), and others like “Yo Perreo Sola” (+2,170% streams) exploded. Bad Bunny occupied Top 6 U.S. Spotify spots, with +470% U.S. and +210% global streaming spikes, 98M+ U.S. on-demand streams the next day, and 28+ songs charting.Themes from halftime-relevant songs—“DtMF” (nostalgia, living fully), “Baile Inolvidable” (salsa-rooted romance reflection), “Nuevayol” (diaspora identity), and “Tití Me Preguntó” (family pressures with dembow/trap/bachata)—reinforced cultural depth.Analytic Dreamz breaks down its strategic impact as a massive streaming catalyst, cultural amplifier for Spanish-language music, and catalog monetization engine, showcasing cross-market dominance, platform-driven success, and Bad Bunny's unmatched catalog depth with dozens of billion-stream tracks.Tune in for detailed insights on this historic moment in music, culture, and global reach.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    “Black Orpheus” and the Globalization of Afro-Brazilian Culture (Rutgers UP, 2026) is the first historical study in English to examine the development, production, and reception of the 1958 film Black Orpheus and its legacy in the 1960s and 1970s. It focuses on the making of the film and the trajectories of the major actors and musicians who helped construct an image of Black Brazil and provides an analysis of the globalization of Afro-Brazilian images and music in France and the United States in the wake of the movie's success. Using archival sources, interviews, and the secondary literature from France, Brazil, and the United States, this book reveals information about the cultural histories of all three countries and gives readers new insight into the trajectories of diverse actors such as Breno Mello, Marpessa Dawn, and Léa Garcia and performers such as Agostinho dos Santos, Baden Powell, and Maria D'Apparecida.

    When Bad Bunny takes the stage in Spanish, millions celebrate. But for many Puerto Ricans, it lands as something deeper: visibility, resistance, and a reminder of a history the United States still struggles to face. In this episode of Immigrantly, Saadia Khan sits down with Becca Ramos, creator of Welcome to El Barrio, (new episodes release every Tuesday) to discuss colonialism, diaspora, and the complicated politics of calling yourself Puerto Rican—not Puerto Rican American. Becca shares what it meant to grow up Afro-Latina in Texas, feeling too Black in some rooms, not Latino enough in others, and how that tension pushed her to build a platform for her community. The discussion unpacks Puerto Rico's territorial status, the myth of assimilation, the stereotypes that haunt Latino identity in U.S. media, and why joy itself can be a political act.
