The NAACP, alongside other key advocacy groups, has filed a motion to extend the voter registration deadline in Georgia following the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. The hurricane, which caused widespread power outages in closed election offices, left many unable to register before the October 7 deadline. NAACP President Derrick Johnson stressed the importance of giving affected communities more time to recover and vote in the upcoming election. Damon Hewitt of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights called the storm's aftermath a potential "man-made disaster for democracy" if voters are not given fair access to register. Now, with over 3 million Georgians still grappling with the storm, the NAACP's efforts are aimed at ensuring every eligible voter's voice is heard. Learn more about your ad choices.

  To understand the long and twisted journey to the Supreme Court's chilling decision to dismantle affirmative action in higher education and its implications, you cannot do better than to ask civil rights champion and self-described optimist John Yang. As president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, John has navigated the drumbeat to defeat affirmative action for years and a devastating rise in anti-Asian hate crimes since the emergence of Covid-19. AAJC employs a range of strategies, from education to litigation and policy advocacy to advance the rights of Asian Americans and all communities of color. John points out that the case brought before SCOTUS by white nationalist Ed Blum relies on the model minority myth, a persistent trope, and a convenient strategy for pitting Asian Americans against other people of color. In fact, the data reveals a high level of support by Asian Americans for affirmative action. John is also buoyed by the emergence of new youth-led Asian American nonprofits and the cohort of civil rights partners, including the ACLU, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, National Urban League, Lawyers Committee and MALDEF that are moving this nation towards justice.

My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening. Today we are doing a little bit of catch up here. There has been about a week and a half that has gone by since our last episode. So we have a few things to catch up on here. Uh, the very first one being. Elon Musk talking about releasing the Hunter Biden laptop. Internal discussions from Twitter, calling it necessary to restore public trust. Also, Elon Musk saying that he may have to create his own smartphone if Apple and Google remove Twitter from the app store. The next thing we're gonna look at is the New York Post, coming out with something talking about San San Francisco police, uh, proposal, which would allow cops to kill suspects with robots. The next thing will be the you validate mom. You remember that that woman, that hero who jumps the fence after being, uh, basically arrested by the police somewhat and then let go and then jumped the fence, saved her kids and ran out, said that afterwards, the police threatened her about speaking out on the issue. Yeah. Heard that right. Then we're gonna touch on the Valencia situation. If you didn't hear about this, Valencia came out with some questionable, does not even describe it. Disgusting. Uh, ad campaigns with children and these teddy bears in like BDSM and, and all of this like really creepy undertones. If you just look at the surface and then you start to dive a little deeper into past campaigns, and it starts to make a little bit more sense that this has not only been this campaign, but it has been a theme with Valencia over the last few years. Interest. Other than that, we will also touch on Epstein's accuser suing Deutsch Bank and JP Morgan Chase saying that they were complicit in his crimes, and we will look at why.

So without further ado, thank you so much for listening and welcome to the Revolut. Welcome to Red Pill Revolution. My name is Austin Adams. Red Pill Revolution started out with me, realizing everything that I knew, everything that I believed, everything I interpreted about my life is through the lens of the information I was spoonfed as a child. Religion, politics, history, conspiracies, Hollywood medicine, money, food, all of it. Everything we know was tactfully written to influence your decisions and your view on reality by those in power. Now I'm on a mission, a mission to retrain and reeducate myself to find the true reality of what is behind that curtain. And I'm taking your ass with me. Welcome to the Revolution. All right. Let's get started with Elon Musk saying he's going to release the internal Twitter discussions that were had during the Hunter Biden laptop story, saying that it is quote, necessary to restore public trust. I mean, yeah, you're gonna have a hard time restoring public trust in general on most media situations, but Twitter I, I think you know, Elon Musk is on the right track here. So let's go ahead and read this. This is coming from the daily wire.com. Elon Musk may release information on Twitter's internal discussions regarding censorship of stories about Hunter Biden's laptop prior to the 2020 election. The newly established CEO suggested on we. Musk took over toward your last month in a $44 billion deal and pursued an aggressive overhaul of the social media platform. Yes, we know this. Firing thousands of workers and adjusting the site's approach to account suspensions and censorship. Since then, Donald Trump has been reinstated, um, along with a few others, but Donald Trump being the biggest one. Um, and Alex, the Lord, the God, whatever. Uh, something like that, one of those two, the Lord or the God, I don't know, pretty close, uh, says, raise your hand if you think Elon Musk should make public all internal discussions about the decision to censor the New York Post story on Hunter Biden's laptop before the 2020 election. In the, in interest of transparency, Elon tweeted back, this was two days ago, and said, this is necessary to. Public trust. Now, I, for one, would love to see all of the, uh, internal documents that show, you know, uh, seemingly something that normally project Veritas would have to, uh, bait and switch some poor liberal bastard into going to dinner with some woman  to get out of them. Um, in this case, seems like Elon might just do it on his own, right? He'll, he basically has access to the Slack channels, has access to the internal email documents. And since he has that access, he could just release it all, which would be ideal and really probably show us exactly what was happening and including the fact that the FBI said that they or Mark Zuckerberg pointed to the fact that the FBI contacted them regarding the story to tell them to flag it, basically that, oh, there's been some talkings of Russian misinformation. Uh, so that makes it, uh, quite interesting. Two, because we could even see information out of this that shows that Twitter colluded with the fbi, just as Mark Zuckerberg alluded to prior to this, which would make it an interesting storyline to, uh, continue to unravel. It goes on to say that the New York Post first reported messages from Biden's laptop in October, 2020 weeks before a presidential election. Social media giants, including Twitter, cracked down on the story to prevent its spread current. And for Nat former national security officials claimed at the time that the Biden story was likely Russian disinformation and they veiled attempt for Moscow to intervene in elections. Yeah, no, besides the fact, the only people that were a part of the being Russian was all of the Russian hookers. Hunter Biden purchased that he was speaking to on his laptop and all the crazy disgusting pictures and images that were also on there, allegedly, not that I've seen them. Um, the media outlets such as The Washington Examiner, CBS News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, have confirmed the laptops, contents and messages in part regarding foreign business deals Hunter Biden worked on in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere. Now, I don't know if there's anything else on this article. Doesn't look like it, but that would be pretty cool. Uh, good step in the right direction from Elon Musk being the CEO of Twitter now for, I don't know, maybe a month. Uh, and within those few months, A few weeks has done some pretty interesting things, including firing like half of Twitter , half of their workforce, uh, you know, and, and which probably makes sense cuz you don't want half of your workforce hating you. Like if you wanna stay, stay, if you don't, that's fine too. And then sent out a, an email that I passingly read this, something about, you know, we're gonna start working a lot harder, we're gonna be a lot more focused. Uh, some things like that. So Elon Musk. Now the next thing that Elon Musk did was he, this happened today, made a response, uh, in a tweet to Liz Wheeler. Uh, Liz Wheeler is the correspondent for oan, I think it's o n. Um, and this article is coming again from the Daily Wire. Uh, had some troubles finding good articles this week for some reason, uh, a lot of these stories were just kind of floating out there without very many good. Places talking about them. So here's one by the Daily Wire continuing the Elon Musk situation where it says that Elon Musk said Friday that he will start to create smartphones. If Apple and Google removed Twitter from their app stores, a move that would be highly damaging to the social media company. I wonder. Oh, I guess, yeah, talking about Apple and Google. So, uh, must remarks came in response to a tweet from a political commentator, Liz Wheeler, who wrote, if Apple and Google boot Twitter from their app stores, Elon Musk should produce his own smartphone. Half of the country would, uh, happily ditch the bias snooping iPhone and Android. She said, the man builds rockets to Mars. A silly little smartphone should be easy, right?  must responded and said, I certainly hope it does not come to that. But yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone, which would probably be a very easy task for Elon Musk, as Liz alluded to. Uh, yeah, he definitely is probably equipped for the job to make his own phone. Now, if there was a Tesla phone. Overnight. And now this is kind of like a, uh, a saber rattling between the two businesses. Now, I, I haven't heard of talks of Apple or Android getting rid of Twitter. That would be a very, uh, I mean, they did it with Parlor, right? When they had dissenting opinions, they just literally just took its platform from them. But I, I think that would be stupid. And, and Elon did a very smart move here, which said that if you do do this, there will be repercussions, not only for my business, but for your business too. So press the red button with caution because it's not only gonna hurt Twitter's bottom line, but it's also gonna hurt Apple and Google because if Elon Musk came out with a phone, it, it's probably gonna be the best phone there is by far It's just what the man does, and it's probably gonna be half the price and. You're not gonna have Apple and Google constantly sifting through all of your stuff all of the time without any privacy whatsoever. So it would immediately plummet. I, I wonder who stock would be hit worse? Would it be Twitters getting pulled from Google or Apple, or would it be Apple and Google for Elon starting his own smartphone company, which I think he should do anyways. Honestly, I, I, for one, would definitely be purchasing the Tesla phone over the , over a iPhone or an Android, as long as it proved itself to be a good alternative, which I'm sure it would, because everything Elon must seems to put his hands on does fairly well. It goes on to say that the statement from Musk comes a mid pressure from advertisers and left wing activists to police content that they deemed be hate speech. Must responded to the pressure campaign this week by saying that the company had cracked down on hate speech, hate speech impressions, down by one third from pre spike levels. Uh, congrats to the Twitter team. I have half a mind to wag my finger at the 1500 accounts that caused the spike, but I shall for bear. Reducing the max allowed tweets per day to a number below what a speed typist on math could do was helpful. , uh, this is, uh, simply based on the same list of terms that Twitter has used for some time. So, Centris, Perus Musk responded. This is, uh, okay, that was today. Must announce on Thursday that he was going to grant a mass amnesty to accounts that had been previously banned on the platform. Must made the decision in response to the final results of a poll, tweeted Wednesday, the platform will begin un banning accounts in mass except for those who broke the law or engaged in excessive spam. Next week, more than 3 million users voted on the poll, and the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of amnesty. Nearly three quarters of voters, 72% said yes, and 27% voted no. Uh, the people had spoken was the response of Musk. So Musk doing some good work against the big tech companies and we might find out later that he is just, uh, uh, you know, maybe just a big, uh, I don't know. I don't know. Something, something. There's always some whispers about Elon Musk out there,  being, being, uh, a part of the big. I think there's some background regarding his mother and where the money got. I don't know. There's, there's some, there's some questions to be had about Elon, but I tend to make decisions based off of people's act actions. And so far his actions have led me to believe nothing other than the fact that he has good intentions with the things that he's doing. So that's my thoughts on Elon Musk. Now, the next thing that we're gonna go into is going to be that San Francisco police have a proposal which would allow them to give robots shoot to kill orders. I heard that right? In true dystopian fashion, , that how terrifying is that? And especially in, in, in the wake of 87,000 new IRS agents, uh, knocking on your door with murderous robots. And if it happens in San Francisco, you bet it's coming to a city near you. Uh, so this goes on to say that a San Francisco police proposal could give cops in the city the ability to kill suspects using remote controlled robots. A draft policy that details the controversial proposal states lethal, forced by robots would be allowed if there was a deadly threat to cops of the public. Robots will be able to use, be used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers are imminent and outweigh any other force option available. Okay, that's terrifying. That is terrifying. Now just imagine, you know, all of the ego that goes in the policing because these aren't gonna be AI robots determining the hierarchy of force. Like these are going to be robots, at least initially, who are having their decisions made for them based on flawed, sometimes egotistical, sometimes, uh, Without a better way to put it. Uh, there's, there's bad cops too, right? There's bad cops too. Now, now, obviously that's not all cops, and I'm very pro-police. I, I have nothing to do with the, uh, defund the police movement, which was completely idiotic. But there's definitely flawed police officers, just like there's flawed, everybody else. And to give a flawed person in a position of power, the ultimate power also, without having to pull the trigger themselves, there's a certain thing that happens in your mind, I assume, when you are a police officer, and you have to decide whether or not to take someone's life or not. Now, when you can remove yourself from one of those steps of humanity, which is actually pulling the trigger, being the thing that was the thing, like it's, it's, it's much easier, I would assume, for drone pilots to drop bombs. Air force pilots who are actually in the plane, knowing where they're dropping them at low levels, right. Like to just, to me, there, there's, there's another, there's a sense of responsibility removed when you're going to have police officers who can kill somebody without even having to do it themselves. Just pressing a, a button. Now you can argue that, you know, pulling the trigger is basically just pressing a button too. But there's something to the fact that it is you holding that thing in your hand and not, you know, pushing that responsibility off to some, uh, mechanical, uh, unemotional unhuman being that will eventually, because that, that's the problem with this is like robots, like the term I would be interested to see the actual draft legislation, but when you say robots, Right? Or like autonomous. Are they suspicious? Device assessments? Uh, if the draft is passed, the robots could be used during arrest. Critical incidents, the execution of a warrant or during suspicious device assessments. Now just imagine them pulling you over and instead of the cop knocking on your door , you have fucking robo cop sitting there as a, uh, a blowup doll controlled by the cop who's actually in the car. So that didn't even have to get out of their vehicle anymore. And then you start doing that from a control center in the middle of the city where there's never actually any police out there. Now they're just writing you tickets. Uh, Killing you, breaking down your door for your IRS funds, all without having to leave the control center in the middle of the city because now they got this legislation. So, so you can see how this could move and, and then eventually there's nobody controlling them and it's just autonomous robots who are now are overlords who have the ability to kill us if we are out of line , right? Like that's a horrifying, dystopian future. And this is actual legislation, like maybe not the second or third portion. Again, I have to see the legislation on this. I, I have not seen it. But from just, you assume the way that this is written is probably quite vague and will eventually escalate from where it begins. Right? You don't just, you don't start at murdering people with robots manually and not expect it to escalate into autonomous police forces via, I don't know, Alexa Um, so. I dunno. This, this, this is a horrifying idea. I think I, I, I don't see any future where autonomous robotic police forces with the license to kill, uh, is, is any type of good for humanity. This does add though that the Dallas Police Department used a robot to kill a suspect in 2016, accused of killing five cops in the shooting. Interesting. And then Oakland Police declined to go forward with a similar proposal that would allow them to use lethal force robots after initially putting the idea forward. Wow. Uh, this says critics including Tiffany Moyer, a senior staff attorney at the Lawyers Committee of the Civil Rights of San Francisco, um, blasted the proposal. We are living in a dystopian future where we debate whether the police may use robots to execute citizens without a trial, jury or judge. Yeah. What the hell? How says the department has 17 robots, but none of them have ever been used to attack An individual said, a spokesperson from the police force. Well, thank God for that. Like Yeah, but you're asking if they can. Geez. How crazy. How terrifying. Let's see, what if anybody had anything to say? Um, yeah, they will absolutely find ways to abuse this. Uh, Robots will be used as del This is literally the same thing they said when they initially militarized the police nationwide resulting in distrust from both sides of the ils. We forget we all started that Ruby Ridge. Hmm. What is Ruby Ridge? Interesting. Uh, now if there was a utopian future where there was no police, and again, I don't think that's utopian either, but if there was no police who were humans and there was no use of deadly force because the robot's life is never at risk of being eliminated, then there should be no use of force. So just eliminate the cops altogether. Don't do this cuz this is a terrible idea too, . But there's, there's a better future here where the robots can't kill anybody. The police aren't human. Police aren't even there. And there's no necessary use for use of force like this at all in any situation, and it just knocks on your window. Prints a receipt of how much you pay and when your court date is, and then drives off or, or even better, scan my damn license plate and then send it to me via email. . I like that idea. Maybe just, let's just not do the robocop thing altogether. It just sounds like a bad idea. All right. The next thing we're gonna talk about is this. So this is, this is so horrifying to hear about this. You validate mother. So if you recall the mother in, you validate Texas, who was originally handcuffed by police for wanting to go save her children while 70 something cops stood outside doing nothing. She wanted to go inside. They arrested her, put, detained her, I guess, didn't arrest her, detained her in handcuffs on the ground. Another police officer came over and negotiated with them, said, Hey, she's fine, da da, da. They let her, they released her. She went, jumped the fence. Saved her children left the school unscathed. Now what she is saying is that the police contacted her and threatened that if she was to speak out about what happened, that they would charge her with, what was it? Charge her with. Let's see. Some like obstruction of justice or something. So let's go ahead and read the article. This is coming from Newsweek and it says, A mother who ran into Rob Elementary school to rescue her two children during a mass shooting in Ual de Texas last week says Police threatened to violate her probation for speaking out about the incident of. Angel Gomez told CBS News on Thursday that she was forced to rush into the school after watching police fail to quickly respond to the deadly shooting. A total of 19 students and two teachers were killed when 18 gunmen, uh, when 18 year old gunman Salvador Ramos entered the school in open fire. Gosh, what a horrible day. After speaking critically about the incident to media outlets, Gomez said an officer threatened to charge her with violating probation on an unrelated charge for obstruction of justice. However, she added that she spoke to a local judge who assured her that she was brave and that she would not face legal repercussions for sharing her story. Her account comes a midday flurry of similar reports from parents and relatives who said they were on site during the devastating massacre and watched this police failed to. Gomez told the news organization that she arrived to the school while the shooting was still taking place and found that several armed officers were standing outside. She said she bagged and screamed for officers to go into the building to save her children, but the police seemed more concerned with containing parents than entering the school. Oh man. So literally threatened the woman who saved her children with obstruction of justice for attempting or or saying that she would speak out about how they didn't go in. And that's the people that you want to give killer robots to  like that. Let's, let's bring this full circle here and let's just say that me, even if out of the 80 people that all 80 armed police officers who were standing outside of there doing nothing, it was just this one who was threatening this woman who did the right thing because of his little itty bitty ego getting in the way, making him not want to be continually having to hear how they were, at least in some way, shape, or form at fault for not responding according to the way that they should have, even according to their own internal documents about school shootings. If you ever read into that or you recall the episodes that I did on it, there was documents that outlined what they should have done and they didn't do any of it. They didn't go in, they didn't like it was all outlined and how they should have approached it all leading to the fact that they should have entered the building and they didn't. Well, they, at least they didn't go to detain the guy until after he murdered 21 people, including 19 children. So crazy. So how horrible, how horrible. Like, and, and again, that's the woman who was a hero in all of this, the, the, the shining light story in all of this. And the police continue to misstep and threaten her with obstruction of justice for attempting to speak out on their doings. Disgusting. All right. And now this leads me to the bigger topic that we're gonna discuss here, which we will get into in a second actually. And, and, and first and foremost, let's touch on this because this is pretty crazy too. If you didn't hear about it, there was a shooting at a BT Q plus bar called q. Okay. Q bar or something like that. And there was like five people murdered and he shot some people, and then he got his ass beat by a bunch of trans people. And that's, you see these pictures online of him with all like terrible black eyes and stuff, which good. Absolutely. I'm glad they, they beat the shit out of him. Um, but, so there was this situation and, and then the guy who was, was the shooter came out and, and his lawyers said that he was non-binary. So the Q shooter's lawyer said that he's non-binary and this just caused like a, a, a weird miswiring in all of the liberal news media because they didn't really know how to respond to this. And so there was an anchor who was interviewing a trans woman, I think I'm getting that right. A trans woman, which is formally, is still a biological male who is dressed as a woman. Who claims to be a woman is getting interviewed on cnn. Uh, and there again, there's this like just you, you watch these people try to navigate this line of like trying to make non-binary a thing while also not giving this guy Lee Wey to be it because he doesn't appear to be non-binary and so on and so forth. So let's, let's watch this video. I find it to be quite comical and then we'll get into some of the bigger topics that we're gonna discuss here. And here we go. Natalie, when we started the show, we just got, we got a little bit of news earlier that the attorneys for the shooter, um, are now saying that the shooter is non-binary. And the shooter, the shooter, uh, would like to use the pronouns. They, them. And this is for the court in all court papers. And that's what. Um, Anderson Al Aldrich's attorneys are saying, do you have any thoughts on that? I think that's, um, complete ludicrous. Um, I believe they're just saying that because they wanna have, um, the easy way out on this. Um, that's really, really, um, offending, especially being a transgender woman myself, that a male, which it was obvious with the mugshot, that's a man that's not a non-binary person because in no way, shape or form could they appear as a woman the next day. Um, it's really offensive to even hear that, that they're. They could no way, shape, or form appear as a woman the next day because it, it would take them so much. Like Amazon Prime doesn't ship wigs and makeup it, it at least takes two days to do that. So they definitely couldn't have been a woman the next day. I, I like how they, they, he, she, the, the person being interviewed here, uh, still respects their pronouns with they, but still doesn't want to agree with them. That they could be non-binary and they don't, they could never appear to be a woman. They have not taken as, as many YouTube contouring training videos as I have, and they don't look to speak with a, a low voice to appear to be more feminine. This is so silly. It's, it is just so crazy to see this trans person. Right. And again, do you, I don't. But just seeing the hypocrisy here and, and seeing this person sitting here trying to say, well, I get to put this wig on and, and do my makeup this way and speak this way. And objectify women by, by delineating their role down to the clothes that they wear, the makeup they wear, how they roll their eyes in an interview, and then how they speak is just insulting. And then this shooter comes out and says they're non-binary. And, and this guy, this trans woman says, biological man says that, well, we don't claim them because they, they, they couldn't look like a woman the next day. Like, how does that, how does that now correlate? Cause even, even, it didn't say it was a trans. He said that he was non-binary or she, it was a he, the shooter was a he. Jesus. It's hard to not get all this mixed up in this fantasy land of, of words that we're playing in here. Uh, the fact that you have to walk that line when you're discussing these two things. But anyways, let's go ahead and watch the rest of this clip. And that's not a non-binary person because in no way, shape or form could they appear as a woman the next day. Um, it's really offensive to even hear that, that they're playing that role. Um, and if they're non-binary, why would you go after the club where you feel safe at? Why would you do that to a community where you Wait? Did they just say that it's offensive for somebody else to this? Okay, let's, this is crazy that I, I just realized this. This man pretending to be a woman is mad that this other man isn't. Pretending to be a woman well enough and that they're appropriating their culture. Meanwhile, they're this individual who is saying, this individual is appropriating their culture is appropriating the culture of women. in the very same breath. This biological man says that it's, it, it's, what was the word that he used? It's insulting. It's, it's, what did he say? Um, and if they're non-binary, why would you go after the, in no way, shape, or form could they appear as a woman the next day. Um, it's really offensive to even hear that. Is it offensive to hear that somebody is appropriating your gender? Ma'am, is that offensive to you? Because if that's offensive, imagine how it feels to be a woman watching you give this interview. With your hair and your contoured makeup and your eye rolls and your suddenly soft voice is that offensive? Because if that is offensive, then everything you are doing is offensive everything, but somehow you get to magically be offended because this man doesn't put on makeup as well as you do and doesn't have a wig on. How, what type of world do we live in where you can say that with your mouth and say that you are offended by this. Man saying that he's non-binary, which e which is even less of a jump of saying that I don't identify with my gender role and I don't identify with either gender role than you to say that not only do I not identify with mine, but I identify with your biological role and your bio biological makeup, not mine. Like you are literally there. There's nothing to appropriate in the non-binary space. You're just saying, I don't know what I am. There is absolutely something to be offended by when a man pretends to be a woman and then takes over almost all. Like, the thing about this is that you're, you're not seeing in, in the same way you're seeing men. All of, I want you to think through all of the famous people that you're seeing on TV right now about trans. Is trans. Is that a thing about trans? I'm gonna make it a thing just for the sake of this conversation. All of the famous people, all of the famous clips, all of them are all men pretending to be women or saying that they feel like they're a woman. They're not women being men or women saying they feel like they're men or saying that they should have been a man. Like all of the famous ones, think of them. All of them, all of the ones that were getting interviewed on Dr. Phil, all of the ones getting the makeup ad campaigns, uh, all of them are men pretending to be women. All of the, uh, Olympic level swimmers taking over, women, swimming, all of them. You don't hear about women pretending to be men going into men's. Uh, prisons and then somehow getting impregnated. Like, no. You hear about men going into women's prisons. You hear about the Caitlin Jenner, you hear about the whatever that guy is who is on Dr. Phil that was arguing with Matt Walsh. You see them, they're always a man transitioning to a woman. A woman, not a woman being a man. And it's an encroachment on women's spaces. It, if there was ever anything for like women's feminists to be an up in arms about, it's the fact that you are literally eliminating like the, the whole root of that is feminine and you're deducing femininity down to clothing, hair, makeup, and voice tonality. The hormones in your body, not what you were biologically made to do, not the fact that you can bear children like, and I've had this conversation too many times, but it was just so much hypocrisy going on here. All right, moving on. Just wanted to touch on that cause I thought it was pretty wild  and I'm glad that I did cuz I just realized how crazy ridiculous and insulting that was, that that trans woman says that she's insulted by the guide claiming to be non-binary because he doesn't look enough like a woman or he doesn't wear as much makeup as that they do. I don't know. Anyways, moving on. Uh, the next thing we're gonna talk about is going to be the Valencia situation. So we have the Valencia aga situation, and then we have Epstein, uh, accuser suing JP Morgan Chase. So we will touch on those two things. But first, What I need you to do right now, if you didn't already do it, hit that subscribe button. Leave a five star review. This is going to take me maybe 30, 20, 15, 20 seconds to go through this with you. And while I do that, you could have already done it. You'll feel good about it. You can get some great, beautiful, wonderful karma in your life. Fill your heart with joy knowing that you helped a good cause, helped the show grow. Leave a five star review, hit the subscribe button cuz we'll have episodes just like this every single week. And like I said last episode, we will be starting to incorporate more interviews. Uh, like the one that I did, I think it was episode number 46 or something like that, um, with, uh, Mr. Gerber. And that was an incredible interview about the, uh, the, um, phum Gong movement. If you have not listened to that is probably one of the favorite episodes that I've done since I started this. Go back. It was my only interview so far, and I'm highly, highly motivated to get back into it for one reason. Being that, uh, I am going to be piecing together, you know, if there's actually a book that I have behind me that's a tribe of mentors. So, and, and that's by Tim Ferris. So what Tim Ferris did is he took all of the interviews that he ever did. He had a, had a certain amount of lines of questioning that he asked these people in certain areas specifically to get feedback and to learn, and then to encapsulate all of that information and give it to readers. So I have this idea that I want to go through and interview all of the smartest people on some of these topics. And if you listen to the intro of the podcast, it's not primarily, this whole idea here is not just to be about current events, it's to dive deeper into what we think is normal, right? Why we think the education system is normal, why we think our nutrition is normal, when it's actually screwed and terrible. Um, why we think our medicine's normal when it's actually made us worse off than better off in many situations. Why we think that all of these topics, history, conspiracies, all of these things, And in reframing and re-educating ourselves and our children for future generations. So I'm going to be going line by line through those topics that I have picked out, finding two to three experts and interviewing them on a consistent basis to bring you guys what we started this for, which was to rethink the way that we view our reality, which is to rethink the way that we look at history, which is to rethink the way that we look at parenting and, and education and all of these things that, that we've been told that were the, the easy buttons, the easy way of life is all you have to do is give that responsibility to a government, to a corporation, and don't worry about it. We got you. And we're finding that that's not the case, right? We're finding that that's not the case about the education system, and that's why there's so many parents up in arms at these, uh, parent meetings, right? We're finding that's not the case about our government. That's why they're funneling off our money to Ukraine and then through FTX and then back to themselves. Right. We're finding out all of these things and we need to correct it. And so I'm going to be systematically going line by line through those different topics, finding the best possible people to interview so that you guys can listen to it and learn alongside me. And then my hope is eventually to package that all, give my thoughts on it, and, uh, write something out for you guys that, uh, I, I think could be very impactful. So that's the goal. All right. And I hope that was enough time for you to leave a five star review, . Okay. Next thing is head over to red pill revolution.co and leave your email, uh, subscribe to the Subst stack. And if you would like to support the podcast, the best way you can do it right now is just by going to give and go.com/red pill revolution. And you can donate directly on the website there. All right. I would appreciate it more than you could ever imagine. All right, love you guys. Thank you so much, and let's jump right back into it. So, This is us jumping back right into it. Right back into it. Jumping right back into it. All right, so  this, if you have not heard yet, this is out of all of the things. All, all, there, there has been so much underground talk, so many whispers over the last three years. So many things that have happened since Epstein's name first became famous and his trial, uh, well, that we never really got to actually see, go through with, um, all went to shit when, you know, he killed himself, allegedly in a jail cell. Hmm. So ever since that day, there's been a lot of whispers in the conspiracy world, conspiracy world about, uh, the sexualization of children, about the propping up of sex rings with gin within the, and sex trafficking within the elite communities, the rich communities, which is primarily what Epstein preyed on. Almost the only thing that he preyed on was all of these rich elites, which is still, why there's not been a single indictment on any person who was in his flight log, which is just wild. But more on that in the moment. What we are talking about today is Valencia. Valencia is a high fashion, uh, brand who had a ad campaign featuring children with bondage teddy bears and alluding to specific court cases around child sex trafficking. Okay, so let's go ahead and read this. This is coming from some random website, uh, R e d u x x.info, which has something at the top of about feminism. I don't know, um, never seen it before. So take it with a grain of salt. But you can find this everywhere else too. This is all very real. Um, luxury fashion House Valencia is raising child safeguarding concerns after launching a new ad campaign featuring children in bondage themed toys that are, many are calling disturbing. On November 19th, Twitter used dat Cat D. Twitter user, uh, post is two screenshots of the Balenciaga official site, showing off images being used to promote the child's holiday gift shop. Both of the images featured very young children models holding teddy bears, but what looks like an innocent enough photo shoot at first glance will quickly, quickly raise eyebrows. Once the accessories the bears are wearing are given a closer look. So there's these two young girls sitting, standing on a couch and standing on a bed with teddy bears that they're holding one with a leather BDSM outfit on it, and the other one with some Lacey lingerie creepy like makeup around its size. It's all sexual, it's, it's disgusting. And so it goes on to say that in one photo, taken from the main page, the child is standing on pink bed, holding a teddy bear, wearing a fishnet top collar with a lock and ankle and wrist restraints. In the full size version of the image, a second teddy bear is visible in the bedroom wearing a collar and a blindfold. The second image taken from the gifts shops catalog, a different child model, is standing on the couch holding a teddy bear that is wearing a leather chest harness in a collar as it in the first and second teddy bear is visible in the room wearing more leather gear. Um, the bears in fact, handheld accessories from Valencia's Spring 2023 collection. Both of the screenshots posted were part of a larger series of photos, which began cropping up Valencia's official Instagram on November 16th. Uh, since then, six images in total have been released, all of which featured young models posing with items from Valencia's Gift Shop. One of them, uh, does not include a bdsm, only one of them. All of the photos were taken by National Geographic photographer Gabriel Gal. Bertie, whose Instagram features more photos of kids he has taken as a part of his toy stories project, a portfolio featuring photos of children from around the world and their favorite toys. And it's, if you go to this person's Instagram, they are all super creepy, super creepy photos of children. Now the next thing that is very first on here is statement. So we'll see if I can actually get this, which is from the photographer who did this. So I'm gonna pull up their Instagram here and see if I can read you their statement, because I'm sure it's just super impactful. Uh, let's try this. It is Gabrielle Gall. Gall Bertie Photo Gall Be photo. And let's see if we can get a statement. So the statement is the very first post, and it says, following the hundreds of hate mails and messages I received as a result of the photos I took from the Valencia campaign, I feel compelled to make this statement. I am not in a position to comment Valencia's choices, but I must stress that I was not entitled in whatsoever manner to neither choose the products, nor the models nor the combination of the same. As a photographer, I was only and solely requested to light the given scene and take the shots according to my signature style. As usual for a commercial shooting, the direction of the campaign and the choice of the objects displayed are not in the hands of the photographer. I suspect that any person prone to pedophilia searches on the web and has unfortunately, a too easy access to images. Completely different. Absolutely explicit in their awful content accusations like these are addressed against wrong targets and distract from the real problem in criminals. Okay. Also, I have no connection with the photo where a Supreme Court document appears that one was taken in another set by other people and was falsely associated with my photos. Now obviously they don't let, uh, they're not letting, uh, comments on that one. Let's see about what the comments are on this one. And yeah, obviously if you know anything about big brand campaigns and marketing, like those photos are not being released by Valencia unless they were meticulously scrubbed and set up in a specific way. Valencia, everything is intentional on the. Everything, every single piece of it is intentional on the set, along with a BDSM teddy bear, along with the court documents alluding to pedophilia, along with the demonn in the background at the top right of another photo along with the, the, the dates up on the wall of a different one that allude to a, a court hearing about a famous sex trafficker, like all of this, or, or pedophile. All of these weird little, uh, all of these weird little things going on at the same time and in different photos. And you think Balenciaga is not to blame. Yeah. Obviously this photographer absolutely knew what they were doing, and in all of this styles of this person's, uh, photos are all super creepy. Anybody who lets this person in their home, especially to do photos of their children should be highly questioned, like highly questioned. It's, it's super creepy. All right. Uh, but. I digress. It's all Balenciaga. It's all Balenciaga. It has nothing like the, the photographers also at fault, but Valencia as a brand decided to have that and, and including the fact that the photos that were there of the, uh, of the court hearing, which we'll get into in just a moment, was Valencia again. Okay. So yeah, it's definitely the photographer, but it's also absolutely Valencia's fault on so many levels. So the fashion House has since limited the ability for users to leave comments on Twitter or Valencia has just recently deleted its account and apparent protest of Elon's takeover. Wow. Way to take a stand Balenciaga by deleting your Twitter and then posting pedophilia based photos as a response. You're really, yeah. Team Balenciaga. Um, on Twitter, Valencia just recently deleted its account and the parent protest. Elon's takeover. Users expressed outrage and concern over the campaign with many pointing out the disturbing implications of the photo shoot. Uh, the looks on these girls' faces are also deliberate choice of the picture editor too. Very unsettling. And that's true too. Every, every piece of this is meticulous. Every, you know, this, this child looks like ugh, like horrified and weird about, and the other one looks like sad. And like they took hundreds of photos, hundreds of photos with hundreds of dis different facial expressions with different setups and different backgrounds and different lighting and different facial expressions. And this one just so happens to be of scared four year old children with BDSM dolls and pedophile based court hearing documents. It's disgusting. Uh, somebody else commented. Chipping away at those boundaries and normalizing this crap one campaign at a time. Balenciaga, uh, this disruption of innocence and normalization of fringe behavior seems like an effort to make acceptable, acceptable previously unimaginable scenarios like men and women's prisons and shelters, children having gender identities and adult dancing in libraries. None of this is acceptable. Women's Rights Campaign Group Keep Prisons Single Sex USA tweeted in response to the photos, who would've thought there would ever be a campaign group called Keep Prisons Single Sex ? The mainstreaming of harnesses has always been weird, but this is extra. The kids don't know it's fetish gear, but the adults seeing these pictures do. Valencia is Valencia's ad campaign comes at a time when the apparent normalization of youth exposure, the kink has become a point of issue for those concerns about child safeguard. Earlier this year, a parenting lifestyle outlet attracted widespread backlash after publishing an article encouraging parents to prep their children for exposure to nudity and public BDSM acts at a LGBTQ BT pride parade. How about no, in the article, fatherly provided the comment. Uh, yeah. Um, let's go ahead and move forward here. But this also talks about a new or Washington post time article or Washington Post article published a year ago that is titled, yes Kink belongs at Pride and I want my kids to see it. I'm gonna bet you don't have kids. Uh, Valencia has scrubbed its official website homepage and social media following increasing public. Both photos of the young children holding the Teddy bear accessories have been removed from the website and replaced by another photo from the campaign where the child is not so directly interacting with the bondage bear. Now the photo that they're talking about here is one that I'm talking that I've seen too, where the Balenciaga, so at the bottom left hand of this, this image, there's a Balenciaga, uh, like caution tape. And there's two A's at the beginning of Balenciaga. Now, if you know what that is, b a a l ball, you wanna look up what that means and it starts to get a li deeper. Now again, everything's intentional. They did not print this because on the chair in the background, Valencia is spelled perfectly fine in the caution tape, but on the one that's displayed very at the bottom left, not where you would think that it would be displayed, uh, it is. It is a reference to ball. All right. Uh, looking just on brave here. Ball. Ball is a demonn described in de immunological grims, such as the lesser key of Solomon. And the, uh, so it's a demonn, which means the Lord can knights worshiped ball and held rituals at which children were burned. Force sacrifice. This demonn, uh, is the first monarch of hell and appears as a three headed beast. Ball is cited as the grand grimier as commanding general of infernal armies. So there's another one that's under, uh, talking about malo. So child sacrifice and ball malac, abortion and secular humanism. That comes from a AOC international.org. Um, so basically this is a demonn that. Child sacrifices were done for hmm. I wonder why Valencia would be flexing demons with child sacrifice in the bottom left hand corner of a photo with a child in it, in their room. Also, on the backs of all of this, uh, you'll see that there starts to be some ties between, uh, Valencia and some of the people related to Epstein. As I saw some other people point out, haven't dived deep enough into that to actually discuss it here. Uh, but let's go ahead and read some of the comments on this. This is coming from the Reddit where this was actually, uh, brought up and let me sort here. What you'll know about Reddit is that they changed it to best. As the way to sort initially, uh, when it's always been top. So that's just their way of curating what you'll see. Um, now what the very first thing is here, uh, is that, uh, f those MFS is the very top comment, . So there's that. Somebody responded to that and said, Valencia should be shut down immediately. The parents' photographer should all be, uh, cavity searched. Wow. All emails, hard drives of everyone involved should be investigated. Those kids need to be in the morning news stating that they are fine and with family and friends, not with these parents. Under no circumstances can this be approved or allowed. This is the start. Right now it's just them, uh, pictures with those court documents. It's just them pictures with those court documents. That's a not good grammar. Later, it's the kids in less clothing, more sexuality. Uh, let's kill this right now. Um, yeah. Not much substance there. Uh, but what you're finding is that people are diving deeper and deeper and deeper into this Balenciaga stuff. This ball stuff is just the very beginning of it, but they're referencing a child's sacrifice, deity in another photo with a child in it. It, it, it's just crazy to me that this is just become so normalized that Valencia thinks that they can just drop this ad campaign in time for Christmas and everybody's just gonna love them. Anyways, uh, let's go ahead and move on here. Epstein's accuser is suing JP Morgan Cha Chase and Dutch Bank. Okay, so one of the people, now this person still remains anonymous, is not one of the more, uh, public eyed accusers, which, you know, some of them gave their names, some of them did not during Glenn Maxwell's court trial, but, uh, there's one of them is, uh, accusers. So maybe multiple. Let's go ahead and read the article here. This is coming from the Daily caller. It says, women who have accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse filed lawsuits against Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan Chase. Is it Deutsche? I assume? Deutsche. I, I'm, I dunno, uh, chase for purportedly aiding in his alleged sex trafficking operation. Yeah. Let's, let's talk about that real quick. Let's just talk about the role of, of banks in all of the, the social justice that is happening because Chase shut down the bank of Kanye. They also, uh, followed through on seizing for Canada, seizing assets of people, if I recall correctly, um, during the Freedom Rally. Uh, and they also, I'm sure in some way, shape, or form, are invested in or allow for the banking of Valencia Wouldn't surprise me at all. Uh, but you know, Kanye, you better get outta here for exposing the, uh, you know, what, what some people call the Cian Mafia, which does not exist officially. Um, women who have accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse filed lawsuits against Deutch Bank and JP Morgan Chase for purportedly aiding in his alleged sex trafficking operation. Uh, the suits seek class action status as an unspecified amount of monetary charges according to the Wall Street Junior. Lawyers who have represented many of Epstein's accusers filed both lawsuits in federal court. Thursday, the new the outlet continued. One lawyer, Bradley Edwards reportedly told Wall Street General in a written statement that the time has come for the real enablers to be held responsible, especially his wealthy friends in the financial institutions that played an integral role. Uh, we believe this claim lacks merit and will present our arguments in court was the response by Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan Chase failed to comment. Of course, the lawsuit cites allegations from New York State's top financial regulator about the bank's purported ties to Epstein. The JP Morgan Chase lawsuit is based on an alleged relationship between Epstein and a top executive at the bank. Oh, Who would've thought according to the outlet, uh, both lawsuits claim the banks assisted and participated in Epstein's alleged sex trafficking by enabling him to pay women for sex acts and making money off of his activities. The banks allegedly worked with Epstein for years after he pleaded guilty in 2018 to soliciting prostitution from a minor. The anonymous woman suing JP Morgan Chase used to be a ballet dancer in New York and was allegedly sexually abused by Epstein from the years 2006 to 2013. The others unnamed women suing, uh, the bank claims in her lawsuit that she was sexually abused by Epstein from 2003 to 2018. Well, um, Epstein died in 2019, allegedly when he reportedly committed suicide in jail pending a trial. So there you have it, folks. Hopeful. This leads to more conversation, at the very least. At least just that, just, just keep the conversation going about Epstein, don't let this conversation die. I'm happy these things are going, even if nothing comes out of this, because at the very least we're gonna start to get, hopefully more people, including the top executive at JP Morgan Chase, who is a part of this lawsuit called out for what they did. So, yeah, nothing coming from the conversation at the bottom. So those are my thoughts. I'm just glad this conversation's continuing. I'm just glad that Jeffrey Epstein's name and the story just did not die with him allegedly dying. Uh, I think if also, if you want to get into the conspiracy realm of it, if the, uh, head of the car. Can escape one of the highest maximum prisons in the world. You bet your ass. All of the wealthiest people in the world conspiring to get one man out of jail would probably be somewhat successful and they could probably find somebody to replace him with a blanket around their neck, just saying. And I'm sure plenty of them, plenty of them, plenty of them all own their own islands that Epstein could go live on from there. Now I'm not saying that's the case, but I'm saying it could be the case , maybe he's hanging out with, uh, other famous pedophiles like Michael Jackson on a, uh, random Island somewhere. And I hope not, and I hope that guy's dead and I hope he didn't get off, um, without, you know, dying as a result of his actions. But just saying might not be, uh, out of the realm of possibility. Um, so. Again, glad the conversation's continuing. Glad that it's just not going away because it could very easily fizzle out. Uh, but, um, here's a clip of Bill Clinton at a rally where a reporter asked him about his connections to, uh, Jeffrey Epstein. So let's go ahead and listen to this. Uh, so if you, you didn't hear that I No, you didn't. Uh, somebody said, what Can you tell to me more about your alleged, uh, connections with Jeffrey Epstein? And he laughs. Laughs at that. Laughs at the fact that he held 17 meetings behind the closed doors with Jeffrey Epstein at the white. On the White House logs was the single largest captured child sex trafficker ever, with the man who just laughed at a reporter questioning him about it and said, I think the answer is clear. Yes, bill? The answer is absolutely clear that you were a part of the creepy, creepy flight logs, had him over at the White House multiple, multiple times behind closed doors. And obviously, as everybody knows, you're a creep too, and participated in all of those actions while being on the flight logs with Jeffrey Epstein. At the very minimum, allegedly, you know, and I say allegedly because how many people have died by calling Bill Clinton out for something  in the past. So allegedly, I'm not gonna say it's for sure, but I got a pretty good idea that that Bill Clinton probably had something to do with all of this. That is what I have for you guys today. That is it. In the meantime, stay tuned for the interviews. If you have anybody that you think I should talk to in the space of the industrialization of our education system or the medical system, or parenting, or any of of those topics I discussed, feel free to reach out at Red Pill Revolt or Austin Red Pill revolution.co. Um, and I would love to hear from it, um, all of your suggestions on who I should potentially interview. I would love to hear it. So, um, thank you guys so much for listening. Uh, I appreciate it again, from the bottom of my heart. Uh, I, I really, really do. So, head over to Red Pill revolution.co. Leave your email for the podcast companion. Uh, I go to gifts and go.com/red pill revolution, and you can donate if you find some value out of these conversations that I have with you and want to support me so we can keep doing them. All right, thank you guys so much. I hope you have a wonderful day, and I still haven't gotten the stinger on this thing, so. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. . Uh, bye folks.

Supreme Court Majority's Questions Suggest it Will Uphold Alabama's Redistricting Map Diluting the Black VoteToday's LinksArticles: SCOTUS Blog - Conservative justices seem poised to uphold Alabama's redistricting plan in Voting Rights Act Challenge Brennan Center for Justice - Merrill v. MilliganBrennan Center for Justice - Annotated Guide to the Amicus Briefs in Merrill v. MilliganSCOTUS Blog - When are majority-Black voting districts required? In Alabama case, the justices will review that question.Groups Taking Action:Campaign Legal Center, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, American Bar Association, Constitutional Accountability Center,  Southern Poverty Law Center, League of Women Voters AL, and Stand-Up Mobile. You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.During our exploration of the Moore v. Harper case this week, a challenge to Alabama's Congressional redistricting plan was heard in the U.S. Supreme Court.    In Merrill v. Milligan, voting rights groups challenged the legislature's Congressional maps, saying it diluted the votes of Black voters.   Black Alabamians represent 27% of the population, yet have a realistic chance of electing a Black candidate in only one of seven Congressional districts.     Alabama claims that it uses a “race-blind” approach, doesn't violate Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, despite Alabama's extensive history of discrimination against Black voters.Analysis by Amy Howe of SCOTUS Blog suggests the court's majority may uphold Alabama's maps.  Justice Alito cited an earlier ruling which requires that claims of diluting a vote on race can only be made if the population is large enough and sufficiently compact.  Justice Kavanaugh suggested that the additional majority Black district proposed by challengers wasn't compact enough to meet that standard. Newly sworn-in Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stated that the 14th & 15th amendments were  “Trying to ensure that people who had been discriminated against … were actually brought equal to everyone else in society.” The court's decision has the potential of neutralizing one of the last remaining provisions of the Voting Rights Act.   More on the case and groups taking action at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.  For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl

https://www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law sent a letter to the elections board and the Georgia Secretary of State's Office on Thursday on behalf of the Georgia State Conference of the NAACP; Gwinnett County Branch of the NAACP; GALEO Latino Community Development Fund Inc.; Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda Inc.; League of Women Voters of Georgia; and Common Cause.The groups claim the county is violating voters rights on two grounds.One is that, they assert, National Voter Registration Act of 1993 prohibited an elections board from hearing voter registration challenges within 90 days of a federal election. The other is that they assert the county's elections board has sustained some voter registration challenges without adhering to requirements laid out in the same federal law.SOURCE: www.GwinnettDailyPost.com Author & Photo Credit Curt Yemons

The San Francisco Unified School District endorses telling young K-5 students that they can use a different name and set of pronouns than they use at home, according to whistleblower documents. Sausalito is a city in Marin County, California, across the Golden Gate Strait from San Francisco, with a population of more than 7,000, according to a 2020 census. City officials are reportedly desperate to remove dozens of homeless people from a park, so they're awarding them $18,000 to go somewhere else. San Francisco is being sued by several homeless people who contend that the city has violated their constitutional rights. The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area and the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California filed the lawsuit this week for the Coalition on Homelessness and seven homeless individuals. Los Angeles-area Pastor John MacArthur penned an open letter to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom Thursday after the governor blitzed red states with abortion billboards earlier this month. New York announced Thursday that it will become the next state to ban the sale of new gas cars by 2035.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Working Artist Project, Darrian Douglas and Gregory Agid talk to artist-cum-activist Gerald Watkins Candice Hoyes about new music and her unique career path. Candice Hoyes is poised to “shape the artist-cum-activist role." (NPR) In 2020, she released “Zora's Moon,” the first single of her mostly self-penned upcoming EP. This jaunty retro-soul escapade is her response to this moment: an ode to Black girlhood. Candice brings otherworldly vocalism to her new single, "Waiting for the World (Tired)," which features the 1930 poem "Tired" by Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes set in a lyrical Afro Futuristic soundscape. Candice is a 2020 winner of the inaugural NYC Women's Fund for Film, Music, and Media. She has performed with, opened for, and recorded with artists ranging from Lin Manuel Miranda to Chaka Khan to Wynton Marsalis. Candice was commissioned by the National Black Theater and Michelle Obama's When We All Vote to co-create a new work to empower Black voters leading into the 2020 US Presidential election. ​ Candice returns to Carnegie Hall, Caramoor, and more this summer. Recent performances include 2021 We Out Here Fest (UK), NYC JazzFest, Nublu JazzFest, the Public Theater, and the Blue Note. As an activist, she collaborates with the Feminist Press, Well-Read Black Girl, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights in Law, Harlem Arts Alliance, Women in Music, and numerous grassroots organizations. She has produced her feminist performance-lecture series for Jazz at Lincoln Center and CUNY for three consecutive seasons. Candice has written for Shondaland, Blavity, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, and spoken and performed at TED HQ. ​ ​ Her brand new project is co-written with GRAMMY-award-winning pianist, Sullivan Fortner (Paul Simon, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Dianne Reeves). The project is produced by GRAMMY-award-winning multi-instrumentalist Casey Benjamin (Anderson . Paak, Robert Glasper, Q-Tip) and features performances by vibraphonist Joel Ross (Marquis Hill, Makaya McCraven), trumpeter Keyon Harrold (Nas), Chiara Fasi (Solange). Candice's family hails from Jamaica, and she is an honors graduate of Harvard University, where she studied Sociology and African American Studies and Columbia Law School.https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcast (#Podcast) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hiphop (#hiphop) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/theworkingartistproject (#theworkingartistproject) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/neworleans (#neworleans) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/musiceducation (#musiceducation) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/newyork (#newyork) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/marketing (#marketing) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/branding (#branding) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/business (#business) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/art (#art)

Today on Sojourner Truth: The closing arguments happen today in the Ahmaud Arbery case. The verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is being celebrated by white supremacists who see him as a hero. Meanwhile, Black and Brown people are concerned that the message being sent is that it is open season on people of color; and that any white person can shoot and kill a person of color and get away with it by claiming they felt they were under threat. Although the Rittenhouse victims were white people, people of color understand quite well the implications of the ruling. Our guests are Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings and Barbara Arnwine. Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings is Assistant Minister at Bradford Community Church Unitarian Universalist in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Barbara Arnwine is a veteran civil rights and human rights leader and advocate. She is currently the President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. For 26 years, she was the Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Despite being labeled as extremists and terrorists, and being killed, beaten, met with water cannons, and having their protest camps burned down, farmers in India scored a huge victory against the Modi government. Farmers, formally viewed as illiterate and uneducated, have managed to unite and emerge as a force to be reckoned with, in opposition to Modi. They have established pride in being farmers, with organizational skills that movements around the world can learn from. Women farmers in India were visible in the movement. The farmers worked across movements, including a coming together of farmers and agricultural workers. The farmers' protests were noted around the world and support for the farmers included actions in the UK and the US. Sadly, over 670 farmers have died in the movement, and there are demands that a memorial be set up for them. Our guest is Didi Rossi, who has been key in organizing support in the UK and in other countries for the farmers protests, including helping to plan a victory celebration on Friday November 26, which marks the one year anniversary of the farmers strike. Didi has been in direct contact with farmers and their supporters on the ground in India. She is a member of the Global Women's Strike UK.

Over a year ago, on 4 August 2020, one of the world's most powerful non-nuclear explosions devastated Beirut, killing 218 people. While Lebanon dominated global news headlines then, attention has since fizzled. Amidst political stagnation, disastrous inflation and shortages in basic commodities from fuel to medicine, Lebanon seems in free fall. In this webinar, nearly two years on from the 17 October Revolution, we hear from speakers active in the fields of politics, labour union organising, urban space and law, who will address the aftermath of the Beirut explosion, the future of political activism, the upcoming elections and what may be emerging in Lebanon. Ghida Frangieh is a lawyer and researcher based in Beirut. She has been a member of the Legal Agenda since 2011 and is currently the head of its Strategic Litigation Unit. The Legal Agenda is a law and society research and advocacy organization with offices in Beirut and Tunis.

"It was a time when I felt the most frustrated, exhausted and isolated than I've ever felt in my life. I've made it my mission in life to help other people NOT feel that way." ~Michelle Adams, Author & Estate Planning Attorney The Mavericks sit down with Attorney Michelle Adams to talk Legacy Planning. It is such an important tool and process. Join us as Attorney Adams navigates us on the reasons why we must plan! Michelle Adam started this firm because she had personally experienced what happens when a loved one fails to plan for their death or disability. Attorney Adams knows that this is not necessarily a “dinner time” topic but we must take the steps to have these conversations so that family stress and drama are minimized in the long run. She enjoys working with people to help them come up with the best solutions for their situation and giving them a measure of comfort that they are prepared and have provided for their loved ones if something should happen to them. A significant portion of her practice focuses on the needs of parents of minor children who want to ensure that they have put solid plans in place for the protection of their children. As a mom, she is acutely aware that if something were to happen to her, her family would be tremendously impacted. However, she knows that one of the best gifts she can give them would be to take the simple steps of getting my plans in order. In addition to my legal practice, she strongly believes in giving back to the community. Michelle volunteers time to several organizations including Denver CASA, Denver Great Kids Head Start, Denver Center for Crime Victims, Volunteers of America and the Denver Bar Association's School and Lawyers Committee. Originally from New York City, she earned her B.A. in Administration of Justice from the Pennsylvania State University and my J.D. from Brooklyn Law School. For the past 17 years, she and her family have called Colorado home and we take advantage of all this great state has to offer! LIKE THIS EPISODE?

Pod for the Cause host Vanessa N. Gonzalez is joined by voting leaders: Bo Shuff (Executive Director at DC Vote), Lisa Cylar Barrett (Director of Policy at the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc.), and Kadeem Cooper (Policy Counsel at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law) to break down the latest in federal voting, DC statehood, and how we move forward after the 2021 election.

In early March, the Democratically controlled U.S. House passed an expansive voting reform bill. Called the For the People Act, it would make major changes to laws that govern campaigns and voting. It has little hope of passing the split Senate, thanks to the filibuster. But that hasn’t stopped both sides from crying foul. Republicans have attacked the bill — also known as HR1 in its House form and S1 in the Senate — as a partisan power grab that will damage democracy. Democrats argue the bill is the only way to preserve democracy in the face of widespread Republican efforts to restrict voting access and spread disinformation claiming that voter fraud cost former President Donald Trump the 2020 election.  The bill is massive — more than 800 pages. So Monday, MPR News host Kerri Miller dove in, with the help of two guests who are experts in voter rights, and examined what it really does. Will this proposal federalize elections and take too much power away from the states? Or is an overhaul necessary to stop some states from suppressing the vote? Guests: Marcia Johnson-Blanco is the co-director of the Voting Rights Project at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.   Ari Berman is a journalist and author of “Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America.” To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.

EELP Fellow Hannah Perls speaks with Naeema Muhammad and Elizabeth Haddix. Naeema is a life-long activist and the Organizing Co-Director of the North Carolina Environmental Justice Network, where she has worked for the past two decades leading state-wide campaigns and supporting grassroots efforts for environmental and social justice. Elizabeth is a Managing Attorney with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. She previously was the Senior Staff Attorney at the University of North Carolina Center for Civil Rights where she led the center’s environmental justice docket from 2010 until 2017, when UNC eliminated the Center’s ability to represent clients, after which Elizabeth and the Center’s only other staff attorney, Mark Dorosin, formed the Julius Chambers Center for Civil Rights and continued to represent all their clients. In 2019, the Chambers Center became the Lawyers’ Committee’s only regional office. This is the second episode in a 2-part series in which we look at environmental justice litigation in eastern North Carolina, where communities are challenging pervasive air and water pollution from industrial hog operations. https://ncejn.org/ https://lawyerscommittee.org/ Full transcript here http://eelp.law.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/CleanLaw-57-Hannah-Naeema-Elizabeth-NC-Hog-Farms-Title-VI-pt-2.pdf CleanLaw Production Team: Robin Just, Andy Dolph, and Sara Levy

On this show, we have a revealing discussion regarding the ongoing quest for “Educational Equity” in North Carolina with two leaders who are actively engaged in these efforts, Attorney Mark Dorosin, Managing Attorney for the Southern Regional Office of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law and a County Commissioner in Orange County, and Keith Sutton, member of the Wake County Board of Education and a recent candidate for the North Carolina Superintendent of Education.

Leslie begins today's show with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the stories that she gave her take on: 1. AUDIO: 911 call played today at Derek Chauvin trial of witness who called 911 on the officers at the scene because he believed he "witnessed a murder" 2. AXIOS: "Report: 67% of students who planned school shootings had "potential access" to guns" 3. AXIOS: "Biden announces new actions to combat anti-Asian violence" 4. AXIOS: "Biden's spending plans could remake the economy, says Nobel Prize winner Stiglitz" 5. AXIOS: "Biden's big, global climate power play" 6. AXIOS: "Biden to nominate groundbreaking first slate of federal judges" Leslie is then joined by Damon Hewitt, Acting President and Executive Director of the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (Lawyers’ Committee), who leads one of the country’s most important and long-tenured national civil rights organizations in the pursuit of equal justice for all. They discuss a federal lawsuit filed by the Lawyers' Committee and other pro-democracy groups, which says that Georgia’s new SB202 law is a culmination of concerted efforts to suppress the participation of black voters and other voters of color. The groups allege that SB202 threatens the right to vote of all Georgians, but that its most negative impacts will be felt by communities that were specifically targeted by the Georgia State Legislature. The website for the Lawyers’ Committee is lawyerscommittee.org and their Twitter handle is @LawyersComm. Damon's handle is @DamonTHewitt. Additionally, the Lawyers’ Committee powers '866-OUR-VOTE,' which is working 365 days a year to advance and defend your right to vote. You can call 866-OUR-VOTE with your voting questions and issues.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: The Supreme Court ruled on two cases defending the right to sue large corporations and the police. Are they just buttering us up before dropping some major bad decisions? Meanwhile, police attacked protesters in Los Angeles as the authorities attempted to clear out a large homeless encampment. Despite the coronavirus, some homeless say they feel safer in a tent of their own than in a hotel room where they might be surveiled. And lastly, a United Nations report says the world’s forests are best protected by indigenous peoples. So they themselves need to be protected against slash-and-burn plunderers. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: In two decisions yesterday, the Supreme Court made it easier for people to sue large companies and to hold police accountable for excessive use of force, NBC News reports. In a unanimous ruling, the court said Ford Motor Company could be sued for allegedly defective vehicles involved in accidents in Montana and Michigan. One case was brought by family members of a Montana woman who died in the crash of a 1996 Explorer that her family members said had a design flaw. The second lawsuit was filed by a man claiming he was injured in the crash of a defective Crown Victoria in Minnesota. Ford said it could be sued only in states where the vehicles were actually designed, manufactured or sold. But the court ruled that because Ford markets, sells, and services its products nationwide, state courts can consider product liability lawsuits. In the second case, NBC reports, the court ruled five to three that police can be sued for using excessive force, even when it fails to stop someone from fleeing. The case involved a New Mexico woman, Roxanne Torres, who drove away from a parking lot when police approached to question her. Thinking they might be carjackers, not police officers, she sped away. They fired thirteen shots, hitting her twice in the back. She sued, claiming they used excessive force, making the shooting unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable seizures. The police said it wasn't a seizure, since she wasn't stopped by their gunfire. But yesterday’s opinion said it was a seizure nonetheless. Jeffrey Bellin, a professor at William and Mary Law School, said the decision will make it easier to sue for excessive force at a time when the country is increasingly concerned with police violence. Know your rights, folks. Police attack protesters at LA homeless camp It’s hard out there on the streets. Los Angeles officials said they intend to close a homeless encampment at Echo Park yesterday after a night of protests as workers erected fencing and authorities ordered residents of the camp to clear out, the LA Times reports. More than two hundred protesters gathered at the park Wednesday night and Thursday morning in a tense standoff with police over the future of the encampment, which has become a flash point in the city’s homelessness crisis. The camp has drawn the ire of neighbors, and the city has agreed to move those living in the park to hotels. But some residents say they prefer to stay in the park and argue they have the right to do so. Los Angeles police Chief Michel Moore said Wednesday night that homeless residents inside the park would be allowed to remain overnight, but that no one else could enter, and the encampment’s residents must leave within twenty four hours, according to the Times. There was a huge police presence Wednesday night. As skirmishes erupted, police were seen shoving some protesters. Park rangers, flanked by LAPD officers, began taping notices of closure onto trees and light poles on the east side of the park, where homeless people have been camping throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Westside City Councilman Mike Bonin issued a statement yesterday criticizing the use of police to clear the park, the Times reports. Yesterday morning a small number of people woke up inside the fenced park, worrying about what was to come. Valerie Zeller likened it to a hostage situation. The homeless woman said she was reluctant to go to a hotel, saying she had heard that residents would be searched and subjected to curfews. Protests continued yesterday. Exactly what problems have the police solved here? UN report: Indigenous people protect forests File this one under common sense. The embattled indigenous peoples of Latin America are by far the best guardians of the regions’ forests, according to a UN report covered by the Guardian. Deforestation rates are up to fifty percent lower in their territories than elsewhere. Protecting the vast forests is vital to tackling the climate crisis and plummeting populations of wildlife, and the report found that recognising the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples to their land is one of the most cost-effective actions. The report also calls for the peoples to be paid for the environmental benefits their stewardship provides, and for funding for the revitalisation of their ancestral knowledge of living in harmony with nature. However, the Guardian reports, the demand for beef, soy, timber, oil and minerals means the threats to indigenous peoples and their forest homes are rising. Hundreds of community leaders have been killed because of disputes over land in recent years. And the Covid-19 pandemic has added to the dangers forest peoples face. Demands by indigenous peoples for their rights have become increasingly visible in recent years, the report said, but this has come with increasing persecution, racism, and assassinations. Supporting these peoples to protect the forests is particularly crucial now with scientists warning that the Amazon is nearing a tipping point where it switches from rainforest to savannah, risking the release of billions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere. The report was produced by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the Fund for the Development of Indigenous Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, the Guardian reports. It was based on a review of more than three hundred studies. The rigor is admirable, but the conclusions are obvious. People who depend on the land aren’t likely to destroy it for profit! AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: President Joe Biden answered reporters’ questions for a little over an hour yesterday at his first formal news conference, the Washington Post reports. He said he plans to seek reelection in 2024 with Vice President Harris as his running mate; indicated that he was open to revamping the filibuster to get his policy priorities, including voting rights, passed; and said that he does not picture US forces in Afghanistan next year. I guess we won the war! A salvage company working on the operation warned yesterday that releasing the container vessel blocking traffic in the Suez Canal in Egypt could take days or even weeks, according to the New York Times. Dozens of ships laden with oil and goods destined for ports around the world are stranded in the canal. The stuck ship, the Ever Given, has been wedged in the canal since running aground on Tuesday. Have they tried greasing it up with olive oil? New York State officials finalized a deal yesterday to legalize recreational marijuana in the state, the Times reports. The deal would allow delivery of the drug and permit club-like lounges or consumption sites where marijuana, but not alcohol, could be consumed. It would also allow a person to cultivate up to six plants at home for personal use. Legalize it already! California State Assemblyman Phil Ting, a Democrat, yesterday unveiled the Freedom to Walk Act, which would decriminalize jaywalking across the state, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. A September report from the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area found that Black and Latino Californians received a higher number of citations for minor offenses like jaywalking compared to whites. Legalize walking, too! MAR 26, 2021 - AM QUICKIE HOSTS - Sam Seder & Lucie Steiner WRITER - Corey Pein PRODUCER - Dorsey Shaw EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - Brendan Finn

Jonathan Granoff – From Homeland Insecurity to Heartland SecurityShifting to A Global Culture of PeaceAired Tuesday, March 16, 2021 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ESTInterview with Attorney, Author and Documentarian Jonathan Granoff, President of the Global Security Institute“If war is a necessary evil, it’s time to establish peace as a necessary good.” — Swami BeyondanandaIt is sadly true and truly sad. What has come to be known as globalism can also be called gobble-ism, as it has become a way for those with way too much money and way too much power to gobble up our planetary resources, and keep the world’s population armed against one another. To keep this system in place, there is a system of “impropaganda” perpetuated by a media controlled by a few corporate players. In other words, globalization = gobble-ization = Goebbelization.Fortunately, there is an awakening – an upwising – by those who see a new kind of global engagement that comes from bottom up awareness instead of top-down imposition.Our guest this week, Jonathan Granoff, President of the Global Security Institute, is truly a voice in the bewilderness, who recognizes that our current way of pursuing “security” is both obsolete and obsolethal. Instead of promoting endless growth – that is, extraction of nonrenewable resources – and preserving peace by preparing for war, we need to encourage the cooperation necessary for sustainable living and development. I know, I know. He is proposing a sane world. He must be crazy.My sense is that he is calling forth a “sane asylum” where we find and cultivate the sane and sacred center that represents our true human potential.Jonathan Granoff is an attorney, author and international advocate emphasizing the legal and ethical dimensions of human development and security, with a specific focus on advancing the rule of law to address international security and the threats posed by nuclear weapons. He serves on numerous governing and advisory boards including: Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy, Fortune Forum, Jane Goodall Institute, the NGO Committee on Disarmament, Peace and Security, Parliamentarians for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmament, and Middle Powers Initiative. He is a recipient of the Rutgers University School of Law’s Arthur E. Armitage Distinguished Alumni Award and a 2014 nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.Writes Jonathan in a recent piece: “The planet can be understood as one integrated living system. Humanity can be understood as one species in a web of life. We require a new set of ideas in accord with this understanding.”If you’d like to find ways to turn this ideal into the real deal, please join us this Tuesday, March 16th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.To find out more about Jonathan Granoff and the Global Security Institute, please go here: https://gsinstitute.org/Support Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In the “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Donald Trump’s minions stormed the United States Capitol in a violent attack on democracy yesterday – many are calling it an attempted coup. The Trumpistas delayed Congressional certification of Joe Biden’s election victory – and directly undermined the peaceful transfer of power. Meanwhile, Biden will name Merrick Garland to serve as his Attorney General. It’s not a Supreme Court seat, but hey, it’s something. And lastly, state and local politicians across the country are taking steps to speed up the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine. As the latest numbers show, they’ve got a long way to go. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Well this is something. Congress went into sudden recess, the US Capitol went into lockdown, and several buildings nearby were evacuated after a large pro-Trump mob swarmed and breached the Capitol yesterday afternoon. News videos showed people banging on the Capitol doors, roaming the halls, waving Trump 2020 and Confederate flags, and fighting with Capitol Police as officers fired pepper spray. The mob erected a gallows and a cross outside. Some wore T-shirts saying MAGA civil war, and a few were identified by experts as known neo-Nazis. Some attacked journalists and trashed TV cameras. Police advised members to wear gas masks and used tear gas inside the Capitol rotunda. Police also drew guns inside the House chamber. Capitol Police shot a woman in the chest; she later died, but further details were not forthcoming. The law enforcement response, reportedly led by the Justice Department and Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, was criticized as exceedingly generous to the mob. Virginia, Maryland and DC National Guard eventually deployed to the Capitol. The DC Mayor imposed a 6pm citywide curfew. Shortly before that time, after four tense and murky hours, Capitol Police declared the building secure. Congress resumed its business in the evening and many Republicans resumed their objections to Biden’s certification. But it was unclear through much of the day who was in charge of the situation not to mention the government. So far, the MAGA mob succeeded only in delaying Congressional certification of the Electoral College votes making Joe Biden the next president. But make no mistake: These were anti- democracy thugs attempting to undo the will of the people by force. A man stood on the dais in the House chamber and shouted that Trump won the election. Another man wearing a horned helm and called the Q-Anon Shaman took over the Senate chamber. There were thefts from Congressional offices. All this marked the latest and hopefully final phase of Trump’s subversion of democracy. The NATO Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg, yesterday said QUOTE the outcome of this democratic election must be respected ENDQUOTE. Foreign governments expressed concern and sypmathy. The Venezuelan government said it hoped for stability for the American people. Speaking to supporters early in the day, Donald Trump vowed QUOTE we will never concede ENDQUOTE. At the same time, his vice president, Mike Pence, was preparing a statement, well, conceding. Pence, along with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, declined to join the Republican faction seeking to reject the election. McConnell warned of democracy entering QUOTE a death spiral ENDQUOTE. Of course, that right before Pence and members of Congress evacuated. Joe Biden called on Trump to go on television and QUOTE demand an end to this siege ENDQUOTE. Biden said the mob’s actions bordered on sedition. Indeed. Isolated with his loyalists, Trump last night was suspended by Twitter for twelve hours. PBS reported that he had QUOTE lost it ENDQUOTE. He faced new calls for impeachment and the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. And for his prosecution. Earlier, Trump released a prerecorded message saying the election was stolen but calling for calm. Again, he lies. Biden Names Garland AG : In other political news, President-elect Joe Biden has selected Judge Merrick Garland to serve as his attorney general. Garland is the chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals in DC. Biden was expected to officially announce Garland’s appointment today, the AP reports. Biden will also name other senior leaders of the department, including former homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco as deputy attorney general and former Justice Department civil rights chief Vanita Gupta as associate attorney general. He will also name Kristen Clarke, the president of Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, as assistant attorney general for civil rights. Some defense lawyers and criminal justice reform advocates have said they worry Garland’s record on the bench shows he is too deferential to the government and law enforcement, the Washington Post reports. But, according to the AP, the selection of Gupta and Clarke, two women with significant experience in civil rights, appeared designed to blunt those concerns and offered as a signal that progressive causes will be prioritized in the new administration. Which frankly can’t come soon enough. Politicians Push Faster Vaccinations Have you got the shot yet? Of course you haven’t. With frustration rising over the slow rollout of the coronavirus vaccine, politicians around the US are turning up the pressure to get shots in arms more quickly, the AP reports. New York’s governor is threatening to fine hospitals that don’t use their allotment of Covid-19 vaccine fast enough. His South Carolina counterpart says health care workers have until January 15 to get a shot or move to the back of the line. California’s governor wants to use dentists to vaccinate people. More than three weeks into the vaccination campaign, just four point eight million people in the US had gotten their first shot, the AP reports. That’s out of seventeen million doses distributed as of yesterday morning. The US has an estimated twenty-one million health care workers and three million nursing home residents. The Centers for Disease Control reported just four hundred and twenty-nine thousand people in nursing homes have been vaccinated. The slow rollout has been blamed on a multitude of problems, the AP reports. Politicians are getting aggressive in trying to accelerate the campaign. The governors of California, Maryland and North Carolina said they will use the National Guard to speed things up. State and local officials are also moving to expand availability of the vaccine to other groups. Anything’s better than letting doses expire after going unused. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: When he campaigned in Georgia, Joe Biden promised $2,000 survival checks if the Democratic Senate candidates won there. And yesterday, before all the craziness, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said delivering the checks is one of the first things he wants to do after Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are seated in the Senate. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said the checks must be followed by QUOTE an aggressive agenda that recognizes the economic desperation facing so many Americans ENDQUOTE. Hear, hear. The Louisville Metro Police Department has formally fired two of the officers involved in the March police raid that killed emergency medical worker Breonna Taylor, CBS News reports. The department last week sent pre-termination letters to Detective Myles Cosgrove, who an FBI analysis determined fired the shot that killed Taylor, and Detective Josh Jaynes, who applied for the search warrant at Taylor's Louisville home. Enjoy the job market, fellas. A British judge yesterday refused to grant bail and release WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the Washington Post reports. He will remain in a prison cell on the outskirts of London while the US government pursues its case against him. Meanwhile, the change of administrations in Washington might alter the course of the case, as the lead prosecutor, G. Zachary Terwilliger, announced his resignation on Tuesday. He’s a Trump appointee. More than fifty people, including pro-democracy politicians and campaigners, were arrested in raids across Hong Kong yesterday, the Guardian reports. Some of the targets livestreamed their own arrests. Antony Blinken, Joe Biden’s pick for secretary of state, labelled the arrests QUOTE an assault on those bravely advocating for universal rights ENDQUOTE. He also said the incoming administration would stand with Hong Kong people against Beijing’s crackdown on democracy. Or what’s left of it. That’s all for the AM Quickie. Join us this afternoon on the Majority Report. JAN 7, 2021 - AM QUICKIE HOSTS - Sam Seder & Lucie Steiner WRITER - Corey Pein PRODUCER - Dorsey Shaw EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - Brendan Finn
