  In 2024, Latinos, a diverse population in America, gave Donald Trump more support than Republicans generally receive for their presidential candidate.  He was speaking quite openly of his plans to shut down the border and pursue illegal immigrants, first those involved in gangs and illegal activity, and then others who crossed into the United … Read More Read More

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- In a series of articles published over the weekend, The New York Times examined the Democrat Party's continued struggles appealing to the American electorate. Shane Goldmacher writes that Democrats “are still searching for the path forward”—noting that the party spent $20 million studying their “erosion” of support with “young men” specifically. In another article, Goldmacher—alongside June Kim and Christine Zhang—evaluate “how Donald Trump has remade America's political landscape.” They document that 435 counties across the country became more “Democratic” from 2012 and 2024—however, 2,678 counties became more “Republican.” Further complicating matters is the 2030 census which is expected to cause comfortably blue states to lose electoral votes as citizens move to red states. You can read the articles here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/us/politics/democratic-party-voters.html. And here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/25/us/politics/trump-politics-democrats.html. 3:40pm- During a recent segment of Pod Save America, former Obama Advisor Dan Pfeiffer stated that Democrats are in “a huge bit of trouble” if they can't win Latino voters moving forward—and if Latinos continue to migrate towards the Republican Party (as is currently the trend), there is “no path” to victory in future presidential elections.

If some Latinos hear la doctora, it doesn't evoke the image of a medical doctor. Instead, it's that of a Cuban American attorney-turned-show host who sings her own theme song.In 2001, Doctora Polo had been practicing family law for over 20 years in Miami when she was hired to host a new court show on Telemundo that would later become Caso Cerrado. It often aired for multiple hours a day on Telemundo and was nominated for a Daytime Emmy.In this episode of Latino USA, Doctora Polo reflects on her role as a Latina entertainer and the phenomenon of Caso Cerrado in Latinx pop culture.Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa. Follow the show to get every episode. Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@futuromediaFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LatinoUSASubscribe to our newsletter: https://www.futuromediagroup.org/subscribe/This episode originally aired in 2022.

Why are the Democrats losing the American working class? According to Joan Williams, it's because they are failing to prioritize economic concerns of working-class Americans. In her new book Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back, Williams argues that Democrats lost the 2024 election because of their over-preoccupation with the interests of college educated Americans. Williams notes significant shifts among non-college voters of color toward Republicans and believes Democrats must develop what she calls "cultural competence" to connect with working-class voters. She emphasizes that economic struggle, and not just racism, drove Trump's victory. Williams advocates for a messaging that resonates with working-class values while maintaining progressive goals on issues like climate change. Democrats, she suggests, must return to their traditional language and prioritize economic stability for all Americans if they are to win back power in 2028. Five Key Takeaways * Democrats lost working-class voters across racial groups in 2024, with significant shifts among non-college voters of color (35-point shift among Latinos and 30-point shift among Black voters) and even larger shifts among younger voters of color.* Williams argues that economic factors, not just racism, drove Trump's victory. She believes Democrats failed to prioritize inflation and economic issues that matter most to working-class Americans, focusing instead on issues that primarily resonate with college-educated elites.* The "class-culture gap" between college-educated elites and working-class Americans requires Democrats to develop "cultural competence" - understanding and connecting with the values, communication styles, and priorities of non-college educated voters.* Williams believes Democrats must center economic messaging on the principle that "anybody who works hard in America deserves a stable middle-class standard of living" while connecting progressive policies to working-class values.* Unlike some critics, Williams doesn't believe Democrats must abandon identity politics or progressive causes, but rather must present these causes in ways that connect with working-class values while prioritizing economic issues.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

But is this expectation helping us… or setting us back?We discuss:- The cultural roots of this financial pressure- What research says about multigenerational Latino households- How these expectations are impacting first-gen financial growth- Smarter ways to honor your parents without derailing your own wealth journey- Setting financial boundaries and having honest conversations with family

For the past five years, Pastor Alex has had a monthly lunch meeting with a few guys to talk about social, racial, and societal issues. We have had black, white, and Latinos men all coming together to share our perspectives, ask questions, and listen to each other. This lunch started after the George Floyd incident in May of 2020 when my friend Hector connected me with Lieutenant Dave Meyer to gain perspective from all sides of that issue. From there, we kept meeting to talk about other issues and events like Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, Jacob Blake, Tyreek Hill, etc. We discussed all the issues you discussed on social media. Now, we are finally ready to share our conversations with the world. We will do this in a 10-week series of podcasts and then plan on releasing the book next year. “Lunch to Save the World” tells the story of how people from all different walks of life come together to civilly discuss what's going on in our world! Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

May 5, 1862. The French have landed in Mexico. Napoleon III wants to conquer the country and assert France's imperial dominance in the Americas. In his way? The Mexican army, held up in the city of Puebla. The Battle of Puebla will come to define this struggle: a European monarch against a fledgling democracy, led by Benito Juárez. Mexico's victory will be especially celebrated by Latinos in the United States, who are watching this struggle play out while their new country is embroiled in a Civil War. This first holiday, in 1862, would mark the beginning of a new tradition, unique to this new American community. How is Cinco de Mayo connected to a broad struggle for freedom across the continent in the 1860s? And what does this holiday really mean? Special thanks to David Hayes-Bautista,  distinguished professor of medicine and director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and author of El Cinco de Mayo: An American Tradition.

Daphne Rubin-Vega, a true Broadway icon, actor, singer, producer, wife, and mother who's lived many lives and still keeps evolving. Daphne gets real about her journey — from arriving in the U.S. alone from Panama at just 3 years old, to becoming a defining force on the Broadway stage as the original Mimi Marquez in RENT. We dive into how playing a troubled sex worker and addict etched a lasting (and sometimes complicated) association between her and the character, especially back home in Panama. We talk about de todo: Latinos in acting bonding together, dealing with imposter syndrome as part of the '90s girl group Pajama Party (which was made for Latinos, but not by us), and the importance of representation that’s authentic. She also shares behind-the-scenes gems from her time in In the Heights, how her one-woman show Empanada Loca became the inspiration for The Horror of Dolores Roach, and why she’s excited to bring her energy to Shakespeare in the Park this summer. It’s raw, powerful, and deeply inspiring — just like Daphne.

Mark Carney a remporté l'élection législative au Canada et peut rester Premier ministre. Mais il doit s'appuyer sur une majorité relative. Quels défis attendent le chef du gouvernement face à la menace de Donald Trump ? Nous en parlons avec Catherine Ouellet, professeur adjointe de Sciences politiques à l'Université de Montréal. Selon Catherine Quellet, la carte électorale de ce scrutin révèle une nette division entre les provinces favorables aux libéraux et celles acquises aux conservateurs, notamment dans l'Ouest. Le Bloc québécois et le Nouveau Parti démocratique (NPD) détiennent donc la clé du pouvoir. Malgré l'effondrement du vote néo-démocrate par rapport à 2021, les chefs des partis d'opposition ont affiché leur volonté de collaborer avec les libéraux, notamment pour faire face aux tensions commerciales croissantes avec les États-Unis.La figure de Mark Carney a largement pesé dans la campagne, estime la politologue canadienne, en particulier face à Donald Trump, qui a alimenté la peur d'une annexion du Canada et déclenché une guerre commerciale. Ces menaces ont recentré le débat électoral sur la capacité à tenir tête au président américain, reléguant au second plan des enjeux de politique intérieure comme la santé ou l'environnement. Mark Carney, ancien gouverneur de la Banque du Canada et de la Banque d'Angleterre, est perçu comme un homme fort en matière économique, ce qui a rassuré de nombreux électeurs, contrairement à Justin Trudeau, souvent raillé par Trump. Le ton plus mesuré du président américain envers Carney pourrait annoncer une dynamique différente entre les deux pays.Cependant, rappelle Catherine Quellet, ce succès personnel de Mark Carney pourrait ne pas suffire à faire oublier les critiques récurrentes contre le Parti libéral, au pouvoir depuis quatre mandats. Le malaise grandit dans les provinces de l'Ouest, comme l'Alberta et la Saskatchewan, gouvernées par les conservateurs. Le Canada traverse une grave crise économique marquée par l'inflation, la crise du logement et une forte dépendance commerciale vis-à-vis des États-Unis. Si le Premier ministre veut maintenir le cap, il devra proposer une politique économique crédible, tout en rassurant une classe moyenne de plus en plus inquiète face aux menaces de récession.En Haïti, la commune de Carrefour paralysée par les gangs Avec notre confrère Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse, nous ferons un point sur l'actualité haïtienne. La situation dans la commune de Carrefour est particulièrement préoccupante. En ce début de semaine, toutes les activités commerciales, scolaires et administratives sont suspendues : les écoles, les transports publics, les banques, les tribunaux et la Direction générale des Impôts ont fermé leurs portes. Les rues sont désertes, les stations de transport vides et même les motos-taxis ne circulent plus, ce qui plonge la population dans une grande incertitude. Cette paralysie est la conséquence directe d'un ordre lancé par Christ-Roi Chéry, alias Krisla, chef de gang contrôlant la zone. Dans un message audio, il a exigé l'arrêt total des activités du 28 au 30 avril, à l'exception des hôpitaux.Gotson Pierre nous explique aussi que face à la progression des gangs, et pas seulement dans la capitale ou ses environs, les communes commencent à s'organiser. Confrontées à l'absence de l'État, elles tentent, par la création des dispositifs sécuritaires, freiner l'expansion des bandes criminelles et protéger la population.À lire aussiHaïti: victime d'une «attaque ciblée», Médecins sans frontières cesse ses activités dans deux centresLe climat est tendu à Washington dans les agences de sécurité Le Washington Post révèle que le FBI, le Pentagone et d'autres agences ont lancé plusieurs enquêtes pour identifier les auteurs de fuites vers les médias. Et dans certains cas, ils utilisent… des détecteurs de mensonges ! Oui, des tests polygraphiques pour interroger leurs propres agents. Résultat : un climat de peur, de suspicion, et une ambiance délétère.Selon le journal, les nouvelles consignes du ministère de la Justice permettent même de convoquer des journalistes pour obtenir leurs communications personnelles, et d'engager des poursuites non seulement en cas de fuite de documents classifiés, mais aussi d'informations jugées «sensibles».Un ancien cadre du FBI, cité anonymement, décrit un moral au plus bas. « Les gens ont peur », dit-il. « Ils sont surveillés, et les noms de ceux qui ont travaillé sur l'attaque du Capitole sont transmis au ministre de la Justice ». Et il conclut, amer : « Mais c'est quoi ce bazar ?

C'est notamment le cas chez les Latinos. Ils étaient 46% à voter pour lui en novembre 2024, en hausse par rapport à 2020. Mais aujourd'hui, leur soutien s'effondre.El País cite un sondage publié à la veille des 100 premiers jours de la nouvelle administration Trump. Résultat : une majorité de Latinos rejette désormais sa politique d'expulsion, et estime que l'économie s'est dégradée, contrairement à ce qu'il avait promis. L'étude révèle aussi que la peur est revenue dans le quotidien. Des enfants manquent l'école parce que leurs parents craignent des arrestations. Certains évitent les restaurants, les magasins. Des employés ne vont plus travailler. Et les zones qui étaient jusque-là protégées — écoles, lieux de culte, hôpitaux — ne le sont plus car Donald Trump a levé ces protections.À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: les commerces latinos pâtissent des menaces d'expulsion qui pèsent sur les immigrés

Aux États-Unis, l'administration Trump poursuit sa politique d'expulsion à grande échelle. Des centaines de migrants accusés d'être membres de gangs ont ainsi été envoyés de manière expéditive dans une prison géante au Salvador. Partout dans le pays, les services de contrôle de l'immigration procèdent à des arrestations de migrants illégaux, d'autres voient leur statut de résident révoqué brutalement. À tel point qu'un climat de peur règne au sein de la communauté latino. Particulièrement au Texas où elle est très nombreuse. De notre correspondant à Houston,Devant l'université de Houston-Downtown, nous rencontrons Gladys, 21 ans dont 20 ans passés aux États-Unis. Mais elle n'a pas encore la nationalité puisqu'elle est née au Guatemala : « J'ai peur pour tous les sans-papiers. Ils vivent dans la peur. Les gens n'osent plus sortir dans la rue, quand on frappe à la porte, ils n'osent plus ouvrir de peur que ce soit la police de l'immigration. J'ai vu des gens emmener leur passeport ou la monnaie de leur pays d'origine sur eux au cas où ils se feraient expulser. » Et ces personnes planifient leur vie quotidienne comme si elles pouvaient être expulsées à tout moment. « Oui, à tout moment », confirme Gladys.Dans ce climat, on est surpris de la décontraction de Martin. « Je ne parle pas espagnol, lui pas très bien anglais, mais avec l'aide des mains, on arrive à se comprendre. » Cela fait 32 ans qu'il vend ses fruits et ses légumes sur ce marché de Houston, mais il n'a ni la nationalité américaine, ni de permis de résidence : «  Non, pas de carte verte. Je suis Mexicain. Il n'y a pas de problème ! Ça fait 32 ans que je suis ici, et je n'ai jamais eu de problème avec les services de l'immigration. »À lire aussiLes États-Unis mettent fin au statut légal de plus de 500 000 étrangers et leur ordonnent de quitter le paysPeur d'être arrêté à tout momentSur le parking du marché, Maria remplit son coffre. Elle a trois enfants, trois garçons. Eux ont la nationalité américaine. Pas elle. Alors le simple fait de sortir faire des courses est une source d'angoisse : « J'ai très peur. On ne sait jamais ce qui peut se passer en cas de contrôle routier. C'est très effrayant. Imaginer que je puisse être détenue alors que mes enfants sont à l'école, c'est… ». Elle s'arrête un instant puis reprend : « Le beau-père de mon frère a été arrêté la semaine dernière avec d'autres membres de sa famille. Et on ne sait rien, on ne peut même pas leur rendre visite. Ils sont seuls et personne ne sait ce qui va leur arriver. »Les papiers de Gladys sont en règle alors, elle joue parfois les éclaireurs : « J'ai une amie mexicaine qui m'a appelée un jour pour me demander d'aller voir si ICE [les services de contrôle de l'immigration, NDLR] était près d'un magasin. Je suis allée voir et c'était vrai : il y avait quatre voitures des services de l'immigration ! Les gens couraient de peur d'être arrêtés et expulsés. J'ai prévenu mon amie, et comme son appartement se trouve juste derrière ce magasin, elle n'a pas osé sortir de la journée. Elle n'est même pas allée travailler ce jour-là. »À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: l'administration Trump prive des milliers d'immigrés de la sécurité sociale en les déclarant morts

Ralph speaks to Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank about the Trump Administration's path of destruction in our federal government. Then, Ralph welcomes legendary public interest lawyer Alan Morrison to discuss the President's authority to impose tariffs and other constitutional questions.Dana Milbank is a nationally syndicated op-ed columnist for the Washington Post. He also provides political commentary for various TV outlets, and he is the author of five books on politics, including the New York Times bestseller The Destructionists and the national bestseller Homo Politicus. His latest book is Fools on the Hill: The Hooligans, Saboteurs, Conspiracy Theories and Dunces who Burned Down the House.I shouldn't be amazed, but Mike Johnson never ceases to amaze me with the rapidity with which he'll just drop to his knees whenever Trump says something.Dana MilbankWe're going to know this shortly, but it does appear that Trump's honeymoon may be over in the House as the conservatives finally seem to be finding their backbones. But I've thought that might happen before and then only to find out that they, in fact, they could not locate their backbones. So I don't want to be premature.Dana MilbankTrump seems to be gambling (and the administration seems to be gambling) that ultimately the Supreme Court is going to a wholesale reinterpretation of the Constitution to grant these never-before-seen executive powers, and it's possible that he's right about that. We're not going to know that. There have been a couple of preliminary rulings that seem friendly to Trump, but none of those is final, so we can't really be sure of it.Dana MilbankMy guess is that Chief Justice Roberts is seeing his legacy heading toward the ditch after his decision of Trump v. United States, where he said that Presidents cannot be criminally prosecuted….My guess is he's going to unpleasantly surprise Trump in the coming months.Ralph NaderAlan Morrison is the Lerner Family Associate Dean for Public Interest & Public Service at George Washington Law School. He currently teaches civil procedure and constitutional law, and previously taught at Harvard, NYU, Stanford, Hawaii, and American University law schools. He has argued 20 cases in the Supreme Court and co-founded the Public Citizen Litigation Group in 1972, which he directed for more than 25 years.It's inevitable that even for a non-economist like myself to understand that [the costs of tariffs] are going to be passed on. Other than Donald Trump, I don't think there's anybody who believes that these taxes are not going to be passed on and that they're going to be borne by the country from which the company did the exporting.Alan MorrisonIt's an uphill battle on both the statutory interpretation and the undue delegation grounds, but our position is rather simple: If the Congress doesn't write a statute so that there's something that the government can't order or do, then it's gone too far. In effect, it has surrendered to the President its power to set policy and do the legislative function. Interestingly, Trump has trumpeted the breadth of what he's doing here. He calls it a revolution. Well, if we have revolutions in this country, my copy of the Constitution says that the Congress has to enact revolution and the President can't do it on its own. So we think we've got a pretty strong case if we can get it to court.Alan MorrisonOne of the things that I've been struck by is that laws alone cannot make this country governable. That we can't write laws to cover every situation and every quirk that any person has, especially the President. We depend on the norms of government—that people will do things not exactly the way everybody did them before, but along the same general lines, and that when we make change, we make them in moderation, because that's what the people expect. Trump has shed all norms.Alan MorrisonNews 4/9/251. Our top story this week is the killing of Omar Mohammed Rabea, an American citizen in Gaza. Known as Amer, the BBC reports the 14-year-old was shot by the Israeli military along with two other 14-year-old boys “on the outskirts of Turmus Ayya” on Sunday evening. Predictably, the IDF called these children “terrorists.” According to NJ.com – Rabea formerly resided in Saddle Brook, New Jersey – Rabea's uncle sits on the board of a local Palestinian American Community Center which told the press “The ambulance was not allowed to pass the checkpoint for 30 minutes, a denial in medical treatment that ultimately resulted in Amer's death…[his] death was entirely preventable and horrifically unjust. He was a child, a 14-year-old boy, with an entire life ahead of him.” The Rachel Corrie Foundation, founded in honor of the American peace activist killed by an Israeli bulldozer while protesting the demolition of a Palestinian home, issued a statement reading “Rabea's death…was perpetuated by Israeli settlers who act with impunity…We believe that if our own government demanded accountability…Rabea would still be alive.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has sent a letter to Attorney General Bondi demanding an investigation, but chances of the Trump administration pursuing justice in this case are slim.2. Meanwhile, President Trump seems to be driving the U.S. economy into a deep recession. Following his much-publicized tariff announcement last week – which included 10% tariffs on uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands – the S&P dipped by 10.5%, among the largest drops in history, per the New York Times. Far from making Trump back off however, he appears dead set on pushing this as far as it will go. After the People's Republic of China responded to the threat of a 54% tariff with a reciprocal 34% tariff, Trump announced the U.S. will retaliate by upping the tariff to a whopping 104% on Chinese imports, according to the BBC. Reuters reports that JP Morgan forecasts a 60% chance of a recession as a result of these tariffs.3. In more foreign affairs news, on Friday April 4th, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol was officially removed from office by that country's Constitutional Court, “ending months of uncertainty and legal wrangling after he briefly declared martial law in December,” per CNN. The South Korean parliament had already voted to impeach Yoon in December of 2024. The court's decision was unanimous and characterized the leader's actions as a “grave betrayal of the people's trust.” Upon this ruling being handed down, Yoon was forced to immediately vacate the presidential residence. A new election is scheduled for June 3rd. Incredible what a political and judicial class unafraid to stand up to lawlessness can accomplish.4. Speaking of ineffectual opposition parties, one need look no further than Texas' 18th congressional district. This safe Democratic district – including most of central Houston – was held by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee from 1995 until her death in 2024. According to the Texas Tribune, Lee planned to run yet again in 2024, triumphing over her 43-year-old former aide Amanda Edwards in the primary. However, Lee passed in July of 2024. Edwards again sought the nomination, but the Harris County Democratic Party instead opted for 69-year-old former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, per the Texas Tribune. Turner made it to March of 2025 before he too passed away. This seat now sits vacant – depriving the residents of central Houston of congressional representation and the Democrats of a vote in the House. Governor Gregg Abbot has announced that he will not allow a special election before November 2025, the Texas Tribune reports. This is a stunning Democratic own-goal and indicative of the literal death grip the gerontocratic old guard continue to have on the party.5. One ray of hope is that Democratic voters appear to be waking up the ineffectual nature of the party leadership. A new Data for Progress poll of the 2028 New York Senate primary posed a hypothetical matchup between incumbent Senator Chuck Schumer and Democratic Socialist firebrand Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – and found AOC with a staggering lead of 19 points. This poll showed AOC winning voters under 45 by 50 points, over 45s by eight points, non-college educated by 16 points, college educated by 23 points, Black and white voters by 16 points, and Latinos by 28. Schumer led among self-described “Moderates” by 15 and no other group. It remains to be seen whether the congresswoman from Queens will challenge the Senate Minority Leader, but this poll clearly shows her popularity in the state of New York, and Schumer's abysmal reputation catching up with him.6. Another bright spot from New York, is Zohran Mamdani's mayoral candidacy and specifically his unprecedented field operation. According to the campaign, between April 1st and April 6th, volunteers knocked on 41,591 doors. No mayoral campaign in the history of the city has generated a grassroots movement of this intensity, with politicians traditionally relying on political machines or enormous war chests to carry them to victory. Mamdani has already reached the public financing campaign donation cap, so he can focus all of his time and energy on grassroots outreach. He remains the underdog against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, but his campaign appears stronger every day.7. Turning to the turmoil in the federal regulatory apparatus, POLITICO reports Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has eliminated the Freedom of Information Act offices at the Centers for Disease Control, and other HHS agencies. An anonymous source told the publication that HHS will consolidate its FOIA requests into one HHS-wide office, but “Next steps are still in flux.” In the meantime, there will be no one to fulfill FOIA requests at these agencies. This piece quotes Scott Amey, general counsel at the Project on Government Oversight, who said this “sends a wrong message to the public on the administration's commitment to transparency.” Amey added, “I often say that FOIA officers are like librarians in knowing the interactions of the agency…If you don't have FOIA officers with that specific knowledge, it will slow down the process tremendously.”8. At the Federal Trade Commission, Axios reports the Trump administration has “paused” the FTC's lawsuit against major pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, related to “the drug middlemen…inflating the price of insulin and driving up costs to diabetes patients.” The case, filed against CVS Caremark, OptumRx and Express Scripts was halted by the FTC in light of “the fact that there are currently no sitting Commissioners able to participate in this matter.” That is because Trump unlawfully fired the two remaining Democratic commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter. In a statement, former FTC Chair Lina Khan called this move “A gift to the PBMs.”9. One federal regulatory agency that seems to be at least trying to do their job is the Federal Aviation Administration. According to the American Prospect, the FAA has “[has] proposed [a] rule that would mandate Boeing update a critical communications malfunction in their 787 Dreamliner plane that could lead to disastrous accidents.” As this piece explains, “very high frequency (VHF) radio channels are transferring between the active and standby settings without flight crew input.” The FAA's recommendation in is that Boeing address the issue with an update to the radio software. Yet disturbingly, in one of the comments on this proposed rule Qatar Airways claims that, “[they have] already modified all affected…airplanes with … [the recommended software updates] …However … flight crew are still reporting similar issues.” This comment ends with Qatar Airways stating that they believe, “the unsafe condition still exists.” Boeing planes have been plagued by critical safety malfunctions in recent years, most notably the 2018 and 2019 crashes that killed nearly 350 people.10. Finally, on a somewhat lighter note, you may have heard about Bryan Johnson, the tech entrepreneur dubbed “The Man Who Wants to Live Forever.” Johnson has attracted substantial media attention for his unorthodox anti-aging methods, including regular transfusions of plasma from his own son. But this story is not about Johnson's bizarre immortality obsession, but rather his unsavory corporate practices. A new piece in New York Magazine focuses on the lawsuits filed against Johnson by his all-too-mortal workers, represented by eminent labor lawyer Matt Bruenig. This piece relays how Johnson “required his staffers to sign 20-page NDAs,” and an “opt-in” document which informed his employees they had to be comfortable “being around Johnson while he has very little clothing on” and “discussions for media production including erotica (for example, fan fiction including but not limited to story lines/ideas informed by the Twilight series and-or 50 Shades of Grey.)” Bruenig says, “That stuff is weird,” but his main interest is in the nondisparagement agreements, including the one Johnson's former employee and former fiancée Taylor Southern entered into which has further complicated an already thorny legal dispute between Johnson and herself. Now Bruenig is fighting for Southern and against these blanket nondisparagement agreements in a case that could help define the limits of employer's power to control their workers' speech. Hopefully, Bruenig will prevail in showing that Johnson, whatever his pretensions, truly is a mere mortal.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

I'm angry! A Once-UndocumentedImmigrant Speaks from the Heart-- Live Work with Sunny, Part 1 Sunny Choi is a beloved member of the TEAM community. He grew up in Hong Kong before emigrating with his family to the United States when he was 11 years old. He graduated from UCLA with a major in engineering, completed a master's degree in Engineering Management at Stanford, and developed a successful career in high tech Silicon Valley companies. However, he left his work to pursue additional graduate training in clinical social work because he discovered that his strongest call was to help individuals who were being marginalized by American culture and suffering. He then obtained an MSW degree with a specialty in Community Mental Health from California State University. We were fortunate when Sunny discovered and joined our free Stanford TEAM CBT training group, and blossomed into an expert TEAM therapist and beloved colleague and friend. Today, Dr. Jill Levitt and I worked with Sunny because he requested a session to work on his own troubled feelings concerning the recent political developments. He emphasized that he wanted to do personal work, rather than focusing too heavily on the current political controversies and battles. You can find the Daily Mood Log (DML) that Sunny prepared just prior to his session if you click here As you can see, at the top of his DML, he described the upsetting event as tearing up when he was teaching a class and discussing a case of a transgender Mexican American man, and he began reflecting on his own memories of growing up as a gay male and undocumented immigrant. Sadness and anger were the two strongest negative feelings (rated 70 and 80, respectively on a scale from 0 to 100), although he was also moderately anxious, guilty, rejected, hopeless, and frustrated. You can also see the ten negative thoughts he recorded on his DML, and how strongly he believed each one, on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 1000 (completely.). During the session he added three more thoughts: 11.  I (shouldn't be) living such a happy and pleasurable life when others are suffering. 70% 12.  I should be helping others more. 80% 13.  I have to figure out the correct way to be thinking and feeling. 50% At the start of the session, he said that he felt vulnerable and nervous discussing such personal feelings, memories, and thoughts. He also said that after doing much personal and professional work, he was generally happy and loving, but felt profoundly disturbed when he thought about so many people who are suffering. He said, “Many of my clients are being deported. And those who are gay are worried that they'll lose access to their medications.” These were the kinds of thoughts that triggered his feelings of guilt. During the empathy phase, Jill mentioned that she felt honored to be talking to Sunny today and proud to be a member of a community where you can reach out when you're suffering. She added that she felt torn, as I did, because it seemed to us that many of his negative thoughts were realistic, and not distorted, and that it makes sense to feel sad, anxious, worried, and angry. For example, his first negative thought on his DML was, “The world is much more unstable and dangerous now.” Sunny emphasized that most of the time he does feel happy, especially when involved with friends and family, and doing the things he loves. But then he gets confused and guilty, wondering if it is right to feel happy when things are looking so dark for so many people. It certainly makes sense to feel unhappy when, as Sunny said, some of his clients and friends have lost their jobs and people in the LGBTQ+ community are afraid they'll get deported. And we're all afraid to speak up and talk about diversity, which has become a dirty word that can get you into trouble. And when Sunny thinks about this, he feels profound sadness and compassion. But as previously noted, this has caused confusion for Sunny, and he struggles with feelings of guilt about the fact that he is truly happy so much of the time. He's happy about his beautiful life, his marriage, and more—this, in fact, is his happiest he's ever been. Here's how he puts it: “I used to be undocumented. The experience and the hostility and bias I confronted traumatized me. And when I heard Trump talk about all the ‘murders and rapists' invading our country from Mexico, I became tearful. I feel angry—they don't think we're human. “I want people to be more compassionate. . . . To say we're rapists and criminals, it's not okay. . . it's mean, and it's very harmful to mental health. . . . It's like repeatedly poking at someone who is recovering from a terrible wound, and it hurts.” Jill was touched, and found Sunny's vulnerability heart-warming, beautiful, and refreshing. Rhonda reminded us that unless we are Indigenous Native Americans, all Americans are descended from immigrants. In my own case, all my ancestors came from Sweden in the late 1800s during the potato famine. Sunny pointed out the European immigrants have not been discriminated against in the same way as the Africans, Asians, Latinos, Islamic, and dark-skinned individuals: “Let's be open. It's racism. I felt it right from the start.” Sunny gave us an A+ on empathy, and then we worked to set the agenda for the session. What did Sunny hope to get from the session? What did he want help with? What changes was he hoping for? He said: “Maybe my feelings are appropriate, but some may be too intense. My goal is to find peace; to have hope, and to try to do something to help. . . I want to feel proud of who I am and what I stand for. I want to try to be loving and compassionate, even to people who don't have the same beliefs and values. . . . Although that can be incredibly challenging!” When you listen to today's podcast, you will hear the T = Testing and E = Empathy portions of the session. Next week, you will hear the A = Paradoxical Agenda Setting and M = Methods portions along with the conclusion, including the final T = Testing to evaluate his end of session scores on the Brief Mood Survey and Evaluation of Therapy Session. Thank you for joining us. Rhonda, Jill, Sunny, and I appreciate all of you!
