Sarah went camping with her family and it was predictably calamitous in the best way possible. We hear why kids don't ride bikes anymore, parents are chauffeurs, and why it matters. We talk about how much camp meant to Sarah growing up and then as a counselor, and we lament that tragedy in Texas at the Christian camp. Sarah explains why customer service is so bad now, why you shouldn't accept it, and what you can do about it. Plus, she describes a genius way we can band together and combat the "sludge" of customer service quagmires.0:29 - Sarah's planning something romantic.5:12 - The Rice family's calamitous camping trip.16:51 - Article: Kids are missing out on things we used to do all the time. 28:58 - Wes Bergmann told Sarah....30:42 - Susie and Sarah discuss the tragic Texas floods. 38:13 - They do it on purpose!

4:54 - Today's table of contents.Susie's mom is seeing the world in a whole new way, but don't get too excited yet. We discuss the phrase "honk if you're horny," and debate whether you're actually supposed to honk or not. Sarah talks about "mushroom coffins," which claim to decompose human body in 45 days as compared to 30 years or more using other methods. We discuss cities that are overrun with tourists and the anger it provokes among residents, and we debate whether it's being handled properly, the reasons it's happening, and why Susie thinks it's not fair to people who want to travel. We learn about the Enhanced Games, which are similar to the Olympics, but allow--and encourage!--any and all performance enhancing substances, and incentivize record-breaking with cash prizes. We hear why many people are opposed to it and why it could contribute to death and injuries.Get there faster! - Episode segment list.1:14 - Why the mean comments?2:57 - Update on Sarah's plant donation fund.

Mid South Pride is celebrating 50 years since Gay Day in the Park 1976 brought the LBGTQ rights fight to Memphis. But this anniversary comes at a fraught time, when those rights are under fresh assault at both the state and federal levels. Chris McCoy talks with Mid South Pride Foundation director Vanessa Rodley, board member Elijah Townsend, Focus Magazine founder Ray Rico, and Krista Wright Thayer of the LBGTQ Chamber of Commerce about the meaning of Pride weekend and the future of the movement. Read "Pride at 50" in the Memphis Flyer

3:18 - Today's Topic Breakdown - It's a Documentary Roundup on today's show, with Sooz Reviews of the My Mom Jayne, the latest installment of Trainwreck (Poop Cruise! Oh my!), and Sally Ride. We learn how Jayne Mansfield was a victim of a Hollywood system that objectifies women and society's decision to put women, especially beautiful women, into a very small box, and the ways secrets can tear families apart. We discuss the cruise that lost power and became a floating toilet in short order, and our theories about why the passengers got along and left with pretty good memories anyway. We talk about astronaut and badass bitch Sally Ride, and how the very reasons she became a trailblazer also made her hard to get to know and somewhat unlikable. Plus, we hear about the "birthday effect" where people are more likely to die on their birthdays, and we learn whether it's actually true or an illusion, and if it's true, why that might be.3:18 - Episode Table Of Contents7:34 - Susie and Sarah on the field at the Pirates game11:06 - Our favorite makeup ever13:40 - Jayne Mansfield Documentary23:40 - Poop Cruise Documentary36:06 - Our favorite comfy athlege clothes.38:06 - Sally Ride Documentary46:45 - The Birthday Effect57:20 - Share your comments about the Birthday Effect.Comment on Spotify, and on YouTubeConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Visit https://shopbeam.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.New customers can get the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and a mini-sized Brilliant Eye Brightener at a special set price with free shipping at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYSave 20% Off Honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/BRAINCANDY #honeylovepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie's mom has been ill, and now she's on the mend, but she seems to have a bigger problem on her hands--namely an infestation of raccoons INSIDE her house. We talk about the doofus who sat his buns down on a Swaroski crystal chair at a museum and destroyed it. We discuss Barbara Walters, her ambition, and why she was kind of a jerk to women despite being a trailblazer at the same time. We debate whether we should start a "chichi chat," and why showing your body off to other women can be empowering. We hear about the lifelike dolls in Brazil that are making people mad, and how the women who collect (and play with) them are mocked, yet no one thinks its weird that men have similarly infantile and strange hobbies. And Susie lists several women who might be getting lots of credit for their business acumen when really their men are pulling the strings behind the scenes.3:06 - Peg's Raccoon Invasion8:17 - Identifying poop in the wild11:30 - Moron who sat on museum chair15:33 - reviewing the chari break video21:35 - If you like camping or have an RV, you should do this.23:39 - Barbara Walters Documentary "Tell Me Everything"27:50 - F**k you Barbara, and F**k you Ellen.29:53 - Hundreds of women meet for an online topless video "ChiChi" chat.

“You're not burned out because of your job. You're burned out because you're doing someone else's job.”That line stood out to me when I sat down with Monica Rothgery, former COO of KFC and one of the most joyful, no-BS leaders I know. Monica was the first woman in the US to hold that position and the first member of the LBGTQ community to get to the C-suite at YUM!For the fiftieth episode of the Business of Joy, we talked about:✨ What the Army didn't prepare her for at Taco Bell

Susie has another new enemy this week and this time it's conflicting with her passion for oral hygiene. Sarah had to so sly vigilante justice this weekend when she saw some old creepers leering at women at the club. We discuss the Astroworld concert tragedy where ten people were crushed to death due to a lack of crowd control, poor planning, and too many people in the audience. We learn about the "right to repair" movement and how companies are being forced to provide information and parts to consumers who want to fix rather than replace their products. We talk about the history of the Michelin star system for rating restaurants, how it came to be, and why it's not as crazy as you think that it's the same company who makes tires.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Sarah went to Vail Pride and is getting very emotional about her LGBTQ journey, the self-doubt she's grappled with, and her goal of self-acceptance. We explore why we're often hardest on ourselves and more accepting of others. Sarah talks about a study on rule followers, and we speculate about why people follow rules even when no one would know if they broke it. We discuss why procrastination can be about avoiding feelings that make us uncomfortable rather than the task itself. Sarah's plant stealing lifestyle continues, and she is having guilt about some *leaves* she picked up off the ground. We debate whether private companies should be allowed to "own" celestial bodies.Our Favorite Bits19:26 - Recent study finds that people might be more honest than we thought30:33 - "Someone's having a good time".

Today, Ali is talking to Marea Goodman, licensed midwife, author, and founder of PregnantTogether, a virtual community supporting queer folks and solo parents from preconception through parenting. Marea co-authored the book,  Baby Making for Everybody–Fertility and Family Building for LGBTQ+ and Solo Parents, and today, they share their family building story, including having an early loss via IUI, and also having their son through IUI. They talk about their passion for empowering people with the information they deserve to grow their families, and about dismantling the isolation and stigma that still surrounds queer and solo parenthood. They also talk about inclusive midwifery, queer fertility, and how we can better support all kinds of families on their journey to parenthood. "We're trying to create a community for folks who don't fit into the mainstream family building world, to build connections, share resources and rely on each other.

Sarah had a run-in at Home Depot where she was offered free plants, and she said no! And now she has regrets for being so honest and having integrity. Susie gives a tribute to her beloved Brian Wilson. We find out why Amelia Earhart wasn't actually a great pilot (seems like the disappearance should've tipped us off), but instead was just ahead of her time in...influencing. Susie explains how Amelia's famous flight has disturbing similarities to the Titan submersible tragedy. We learn about a woman who donated her body to science, but ended up blown to bits by the military. We hear why a funeral home was sending people remains of the strangers instead of their loved ones. We discuss an Olympian who has been kicked off the canoeing team for having an OnlyFans account and Susie thinks she should start an account for people whose kink is being insulted.Our Favorite Picks10:37 - Susie shares her love for the amazing Brian Wilson.18:58 - New Yorker article about Amelia Earhart30:11 - Man donated his mother's body to alzheimer's research, only to find out it was later sold on, and blown up!39:13 - Sarah's airfryer analogy45:15 - Olympic canoer pays for training by showing off his skin-paddle on Only Fans50:13 - Gen-Z and their dislike for opening a tab at the bar54:24 - Susie considers starting an Only Fans accountThe End...

Susie and Sarah had a little reunion and they're still riding that sweet high. We're happy Susie wasn't on the flight where a little girl was allowed to take over the intercom and sing a Moana song to a non-consensual audience. Sarah tells us about a company that raised millions of dollars from investors posing as an AI tech company when really they had hundreds of people working behind the scenes manually performing tasks instead. A fan is suing the Colorado Rockies after he got hit with a ball. He thinks the team should be held accountable for being so bad that he quit paying attention and got struck by the ball as a result. We hear a list of things that we learned as a result of the Covid pandemic, and one of them involves Susie's footwear.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/BRAINCANDY10 or use code BRAINCANDY10 at checkout to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDYGo to https://paireyewear.com and use code BCP for 15% off your first pair.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to release a flurry of decisions as the 2024-25 term comes to an end this month. A number of the cases reflect the societal battles playing out across the country and affect millions of Americans. The court will be weighing in on whether gender-affirming health care for children under 18 is protected by the equal protection clause of the Constitution or if states are free to ban care for youth diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Read more: Supreme Court case could impact transgender health care in the Midwest Birthright citizenship, which the court in the past has said is guaranteed under the 14th amendment, is back in front of the court. It's part of a wider case about the legality of national injunctions after 22 states sued to block President Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship. Another key decision revolves around states' ability to bar Medicaid funds from being used at Planned Parenthood and its affiliates. The case stems from an executive order signed by the governor of South Carolina. A Planned Parenthood patient sued, saying the order violated her right to choose medical care. Read more: Trump administration cuts Title X funding to Planned Parenthood The court will also issue decisions on cases involving racial gerrymandering, online age-verification and whether parents can opt their children out of school lessons that include LBGTQ+ topics.  On this week's Noon Edition, we'll discuss the possible impacts of these decisions and the role of the Supreme Court in today's political climate.  Join us on the air by calling 812-855-0811 or toll-free at 1-877-285-9348.

It's Pride Month … or is it Title IX Month? President Donald Trump's administration continues to push back on the LGBTQ+ community through its ban on trans troops – and newly graduated trans cadets – in the military, potential federal budget cuts to a vital suicide prevention hotline that helps queer youth, and renaming a Navy ship dedicated to gay rights icon Harvey Milk. But Pride celebrations are still happening across the country, including an inaugural parade in a small town in West Virginia! All that and more in this week's LBGTQ+ news roundtable.

Chuck Todd begins with the apparent de-escalation of the feud between Donald Trump and Elon and why the power imbalance between the two meant that Elon would be forced to back down. Then, he explains why Trump is deliberately manufacturing a crisis by federalizing the National Guard and sending them to LA to deal with protests over ICE raids. He calls it a “political trap” set by Stephen Miller and that the administration has chosen to use California as a political punching bag. He also weighs in on the crisis of leadership at the DNC after an internal call was leaked to the press and why it could be the end of Ken Martin's time as chair.Then, Chuck welcomes filmmaker Chase Joynt and Congresswoman Sarah McBride to discuss the documentary "State of Firsts," which chronicles McBride's historic journey as the first openly transgender person elected to Congress. Joynt explains the origins of the film and the decision to focus on McBride's political coming of age amid the intensifying national debate over trans rights. The conversation explores the broader LGBTQ civil rights movement, the challenges of media coverage around trans issues, and how Trump has weaponized transgender Americans as political scapegoats. They discuss the ongoing tensions within the gay community about whether the fight for trans rights is "worth it," and examine how civil rights have historically advanced incrementally through strategic battles.McBride joins the conversation to reflect on the personal toll of being thrust into the spotlight as a symbol for an entire community while trying to serve her Delaware constituents effectively. She discusses the unique pressures that come with being the "first" of any identity group in Congress, the performance incentives that can bring out the worst in politicians, and her approach to picking battles strategically rather than fighting on every front. The discussion touches on Delaware's distinctive political dynamics, her relationship with President Biden, the complexities of the trans women in sports debate, and whether she would accept a meeting with Trump. Throughout, both guests emphasize the importance of seeing transgender people as whole individuals rather than reducing them to a single issue, while acknowledging the weight of representation in advancing civil rights.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment regarding filibuster reform in the Senate, whether age limits for lawmakers are a good idea, and whether Trump would be best served resigning the presidency in order to receive a pardon from JD Vance.Timeline:00:00 Introduction01:15 Trump backs off when dealing with rich and powerful people02:15 Elon is a bridge between MAGA and the tech elite03:00 Steve Bannon says Musk's money might have made the difference in election05:00 Trump is always for sale, but the deals aren't stable 06:15 Musk is powerful but not irreplaceable 07:00 Trump could destroy Musk's companies before his term ends08:45 The fate of our country hinges on a pissing match between two powerful people10:15 Voters think all politicians are equally corrupt11:00 The Trump administration is trying to manufacture a crisis in Los Angeles12:30 What you're reading and seeing online isn't what's happening on the ground13:30 Majority of voters want immigration enforced, but humanely and with due process15:00 Stephen Miller believes he's setting up a political trap16:15 The administration wants to use California as a cultural punching bag18:00 DNC chair Ken Martin caught on recording saying he might not be up to the job20:00 Martin defined himself as a placeholder with doubts20:45 Democrats don't know who's in charge, or who they want to be in charge21:45 Ken Martin will be defined by this moment24:00 Chase Joynt joins the Chuck ToddCast! 25:00 What was the origin of "State of Firsts"? 26:45 Were there any ground rules or "no goes" when creating the film? 28:00 Sarah's ascent to Congress amidst the brewing fight over trans rights 29:45 Is the debate over trans rights being "worth it" still happening in gay community? 31:00 Does the fight for trans rights feel like two steps forward, one step back? 32:30 The value in unearthing the history of the fight for equal LBGTQ rights 34:20 They chose to tell the story of Sarah's political coming of age 36:15 Frustrations with media coverage of the fight for trans rights? 37:00 Trump understands that he created a scapegoat 38:00 The fight over trans women in sports 39:00 Had Chase ever done a political documentary before "State of Firsts"? 41:00 What did you learn about how politics is conducted? 42:30 Politics dominates the public space in America 44:00 What surprised you most after being around congress? 45:15 Being the "first" of an identity group in congress 47:30 The pressure on McBride of being forced to speak on behalf of an entire community 48:45 Civil rights have always been advanced incrementally 51:40 Worried that the Democratic party will abandon the trans community?53:10 Sarah McBride joins the Chuck ToddCast! 53:40 Was it hard to let people into your private life for the documentary? 54:55 Managing the burden of being a symbol for the trans community 57:10 The pressure that comes with being the "first" representative of an identity group 58:40 Delaware voters were able to see her as a whole person and not just trans 1:00:10 Was it easier to be bipartisan in state government than in Congress? 1:01:25 The performance incentives in Congress can bring out the worst in people 1:04:25 The political dynamics of Delaware 1:06:10 Delaware's status as the home of corporate America 1:09:40 Other states don't have the legal framework to outcompete Delaware for incorporations 1:10:25 Is the criticism of Biden fair? 1:13:10 Hakeem Jeffries is doing a fantastic job managing the caucus 1:14:55 Should Democrats extend an olive branch to Elon Musk? 1:15:40 Is someone who embraces trans rights but not in sports an ally? 1:16:40 Sports governing bodies should oversee the trans women in sports issue 1:18:40 Worried about backlash from the trans community for not fighting hard enough? 1:20:10 Civil rights movements have to pick their battles 1:23:40 Would you accept an invitation from Trump for an oval office meeting? 1:24:40 What achievements in Congress would you consider success? 1:26:10 Did you ever dream of becoming president as a kid?1:27:05 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Sarah McBride 1:28:05 Ask Chuck 1:28:15 If the Big Beautiful Bill doesn't pass, should the Senate end the filibuster? 1:31:20 Thoughts on Andor season 2? 1:33:55 Are age limits for elected officials a good idea? 1:36:35 Would Trump's best outcome be resigning and having Vance pardon him?(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)

Eric Newman and Kate Wolf speak with Sarah Schulman about her latest book, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity. With a focus on practical politics, Schulman explores both how we imagine solidarity and what the work of solidarity requires. Rather than a horizontal movement, the book focuses on the ways achieving today's most pressing political goals—from Palestine's self-determination to immigration reform and protecting LBGTQ rights—requires working across various levels of individual privilege and power. With both historical and present day examples, Schulman presents a clear-eyed, long-term vision of a life in activism, laying out stumbling blocks and failures alongside meaningful progress, and the steps it takes to get there.

Christiano Sacha Fornaciari"La sedia del diavolo"Violenza, tortura e morte nel Brasile dei generaliEdizioni Lindauwww.lindau.itScritto con il rigore di un saggio storico e il ritmo incalzante di un romanzo, "La sedia del drago" racconta un Brasile poco noto e molto distante dallo stereotipo turistico «spiagge, calcio e samba», ancora oggi molto diffuso: è il Brasile dei generali e di una brutale dittatura che, nel quadro geopolitico disegnato dalla Guerra Fredda, a partire dal 1964 avrebbe governato il paese per oltre vent'anni, torturando e assassinando gli oppositori politici, perseguitando intellettuali e artisti, discriminando il mondo LBGTQ, ed esercitando una censura pervasiva su ogni mezzo di comunicazione. Facendo ricorso a fonti testimoniali, agli archivi dei quotidiani e delle riviste dell'epoca, a documenti originali reperiti negli archivi di Stato brasiliani e negli archivi digitali desecretati della CIA e del Dipartimento di Stato USA, nonché ai ricordi personali dell'autore, le pagine di questo libro descrivono con straordinaria efficacia eventi e atmosfere di quegli anni cupi, l'organizzazione e i principi dell'apparato repressivo, il coraggio dei dissidenti, le sofferenze delle vittime e la crudeltà dei loro carnefici. Un angosciante viaggio nel cuore di tenebra dell'uomo.Christiano Sacha Fornaciari, architetto, è nato a São Paulo del Brasile nel 1962. Si è laureato all'Istituto universitario di architettura di Venezia, dove è stato allievo di Massimo Cacciari per gli studi di estetica e di Franco Rella per gli studi di letteratura artistica. Componente della Consulta per l'arte sacra dell'arcidiocesi di Udine, si è perfezionato in Architettura e arte per la liturgia presso la Facoltà di sacra liturgia del Pontificio ateneo Sant'Anselmo in Roma.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Har du nogensinde tænkt: “Hvad hvis en homoseksuel præst i 70'ernes San Francisco sagde NEJ TAK til homohad – med en selvtægtsgruppe i hælene?” Nej? Det har vi!

It was 1973 when the National LGBTQ Task Force, the nation's first LGBTQ rights organization, was founded. Homophobia was being codified into legislation; the AIDs epidemic was a devastating and deadly epidemic, and gay people were subject to discrimination and violence. A brave group of activists, scientists and doctors stepped up to create a nonprofit from which they advocated for the right to exist, be heard and win legal protections. Co-founder Bruce Voeller, a biologist who coined the term AIDS, and died from complications of it in 1994 was instrumental in organizing the first ever briefing on LBGTQ issues with the White House. In this episode of Power Station I speak with the fearless Allen Morris, Director of Policy at the National LGBTQ Task Force about how he uses his voice on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures to stand up against vitriolic rhetoric and policies targeting queer and trans people. Allen is leaning into principled struggle with policymakers, pressing them to see that queer people are not the enemy. As this administration seeks to turn back the clock on LGBTQ rights, the Task Force is unbowed. Allen is inspiring and a joy. Hear him!

A native New Yorker, she has toured the world with pop/glam band Scissor Sisters and has performed with Bright Light Bright Light and Slow Knights. Starring in LGBTQ romantic classic “Walk with Me,” as a singer/songwriter, featured on the original album as well. As a singer, she has also opened for Lady Gaga, and has shared the stage with Drag legends Joey Arias, Murray Hill, and more. She worked closely with Baz Luhrmann as the voice of Misty Holloway on the Netflix show “The Get Down.” Bridget has released singles with the House DJ/producer legend Todd Terry as well as numerous of her own singles. As a child actress, she has appeared in countless commercials and Sesame Street. She has starred in HBO's Everyday People, Sherrybaby, Redacted, God's Pocket, Steven Soderbergh's The Knick and had a recurring role as a one-legged “hooker” on Law & Order: SVU. On stage, Barkan has appeared in numerous productions including Dog Sees God and alongside Lea Michelle in a workshop of Spring Awakening.  "Heartbroken Ones” was a practice in healing, purging, and processing what Barkan was going through. “It helped me get through one of the worst moments of my life. It was the acceptance I was singing to myself,” Barkan explains. “All that mattered was releasing the pain that this indiscretion had caused.” Working with producer Austin Bello (Nikki Pope, FNKHOUSER, Goldvein) again  who worked on her previous single “Good Things” and singer songwriter Poet Hawkins, she crafted the song in “a more old soul approach at first. But then I kept listening to my friend Natti Vogel's song ‘FAB (Free Ass Bitch),' which also was a healing song, which had a more pop and synth based energy, so we went in that direction, instead. We took parts of a voice memo and created a soundscape which really captured the inner world I was in.” A regular in the NYC artsy pop underground that includes Bright Light Bright Light, Xavier Smith, and John Cameron Mitchell among many others, Bridget is a “Jill of All Trades” on a one woman journey through life, love and loss. She also formerly toured the world with Scissor Sisters and can be seen in their earth-shattering “Let's Have A Kiki” video as one of Ana Matronic's crew. Having inherited her father's knack for songwriting, Bridget's intrinsic artistry and talent is a legacy she proudly carries. *****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomAudio production by Rich Zei of Third Ear AudioIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Hawk interviews former NFL player and social justice activist Chris Kluwe. They discuss Kluwe's recent arrest in Huntington Beach while protesting a controversial plaque at the local library, which he argues was designed to promote a far-right agenda. The conversation expands into the broader political climate of the city, highlighting its history with white nationalist movements and how local officials are using their positions to advance personal ambitions rather than serving the community. Kluwe criticizes the city council's attempts at book bans and library privatization, emphasizing the need for community activism to push back against authoritarian policies.The discussion shifts toward national politics, where Kluwe and Hawk examine the rise of the MAGA movement and its parallels to historical fascism. Kluwe argues that MAGA operates on an explicitly anti-democratic platform, using trans rights as a starting point to erode broader civil liberties. They discuss the role of the Republican Party in enabling authoritarianism, the failure of Democratic leadership to push back effectively, and the alarming acceleration of radical policies under the Trump administration. Kluwe stresses the importance of recognizing the ideological shift away from traditional conservatism, calling on Americans to stand against what he sees as a constitutional collapse.In the final segment, they explore the influence of radicalization within gaming communities and online spaces, tracing the roots of today's alt-right pipeline back to movements like Gamergate. Kluwe highlights how young men, struggling with a sense of control in their lives, are being drawn into extremist ideologies through social media algorithms and figures like Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan. He calls for direct intervention in reaching disaffected youth before they fully embrace these toxic narratives. The episode ends with a sobering reflection on the future of American democracy, with both Hawk and Kluwe urging immediate and sustained action to counter rising authoritarianism.Follow Chris Kluwe on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/chriswarcraft.bsky.social SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Podcasts On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Podcasts RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

"Clinton seeks common ground with Republicans," reported the Associated Press in 1994. "Obama hosts dinner, urges bipartisanship," announced the AP again, in 2009. "Resist Trump? On Immigration, Top Democrats See Room for Compromise," stated The New York Times in late 2024. For decades, we've heard Democratic policymakers extol the virtues of working with Republicans. Through a series of stock terms, e.g. bipartisanship, finding common ground, reaching across the aisle, compromising, they tout their willingness to set aside their political differences with Republicans in order to stop quibbling, quit stalling, work pragmatically, and––the holiest of the holies––Get Things Done. This all might sound well and good; surely an active government is better than an idle, incapacitated one. But which things, exactly, are getting done? Why is it that the act of making decisions or passing legislation is deemed more important to elected officials than the actual content of those decisions and legislation? And how does an incurious, largely compliant media contribute to the harms of a Democratic party that, in its embrace of Republican ideology under the seeming noble banner of "bipartisanship" continues to move further to the right on key issues? On this episode, we dissect the popular appeal for bipartisanship, examine how folksy calls for “Washington” to “work together” more often than not serve to promote war, austerity, anti-LBGTQ policies and crackdown on vulnerable migrants, and show how this seemingly high minded formulation serves to push Republicans further right and launder the Democrats' increasingly conservative political agenda. Our guest is journalist and author Malaika Jabali.

On today's show, we listen in on a very timely community conversation hosted on January 14th, 2025 with the Oberlin Club of Washington, DC, focused on the question: "Why is the working-class leaving the Democratic Party?" The conversation featured remarks by Les Leopold, Executive Director of The Labor Institute, and a 1969 graduate of Oberlin College. You can watch the full event and see the slides at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThOll28AuYY In assessing the 2024 elections, many voters are asking: has the working-class abandoned the Democratic Party? If so, why? What does that tell us about the views of working people and what does that suggest about the Party and its future? There are two major theories to account for the extensive working-class shift to the Republicans since 1996. One argument rooted in social issues is that working-class resentment against women, immigrants, LBGTQ+ communities and other ""woke"" concerns has resulted in an embrace of right-wing candidates whose supporters Hillary Clinton once termed "a basket of deplorables". The other theory is that economic issues like job insecurity, stagnant wages and declining prospects for the future have pushed workers away from the Democrats. What does the data reveal? Les Leopold offers an assessment based on findings in his latest book "Wall Street's War on Workers: How Mass Layoffs and Greed Are Destroying the Working Class and What to Do About It." Les Leopold co-founded and currently directs The Labor Institute, a non-profit organization that designs research and educational programs on occupational safety and health, the environment and economics for unions, workers centers and community organizations. In addition to "Wall Street's War on Workers," he is the author of "Defiant German, Defiant Jew"; "Runaway Inequality"; "How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour: Why Financial Elites get away with siphoning off America's Wealth"; "The Looting of America: How Wall Street's Game of Fantasy Finance destroyed our Jobs, Pensions and Prosperity, and What We Can Do About It"; and "The Man Who Hated Work and Loved Labor: The Life and Times of Tony Mazzocchi." Les graduated from Oberlin with a degree in Government and earned an MPA from Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs. On Truth to Power each week, we gather people from around the community to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city! It's a community conversation like you won't hear anywhere else! Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 4pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://forwardradio.org

The Business Pants Thanksgiving Special Game!Let's take a trip through history:Dark agesWalmart pulls back on DEI efforts, removes some LBGTQ merchandise from websiteThe nation's largest employer, which has about 1.6 million U.S. workers, joined a growing list of companies that have stepped back from diversity, equity and inclusion efforts after feeling the heat from conservative activists.In a statement, Walmart said it is “willing to change alongside our associates and customers who represent all of America.”“We've been on a journey and know we aren't perfect, but every decision comes from a place of wanting to foster a sense of belonging, to open doors to opportunities for all our associates, customers and suppliers and to be a Walmart for everyone,” the statement said.Among the changes, Walmart will no longer allow third-party sellers to sell some LGBTQ-themed items on Walmart's website, including items marketed to transgender youth like chest binders, company spokeswoman Molly Blakeman said.She said it also recently decided to stop sharing data with the Human Rights Campaign, a nonprofit that tracks companies' LGBTQ policies, or with other similar organizations.Additionally, the big-box retailer is winding down the Center for Racial Equity, a nonprofit that Walmart started in 2020 after George Floyd's murder sparked protests across the country. At the time, Walmart and the company's foundation pledged $100 million over five years to fight systemic racism and create the center.Over the past year, the company has phased out supplier diversity programs, which gave preferential financing to some groups, such as women and minorities, after the Supreme Court decision striking down affirmative action.It's also moved away from using the term “diversity, equity and inclusion” or DEI in company documents, employee titles and employee resource groups. For example, its former chief diversity officer role is now called the chief belonging officer.Luddites UniteRansomware attack leaves Starbucks using pens and paper to track employee hoursNYC's Underground Steam System May Be Key to a Greener FutureSome 100 miles of steam pipes snake below Manhattan, delivering low-carbon vapor to some big-name customers. More buildings could soon tap in.DrugsKohl's CEO to depart after less than two years at the helmKohl's CEO Tom Kingsbury will step down after less than two years at the helm, paving the way for former Walmart executive Ashley Buchanan to take on the role as the department store chain looks to execute a turnaround.Kohl's said Buchanan improved profitability at Michaels Companies, a specialty retailer of arts and crafts supplies, where he has been the CEO since 2020, and grew its digital business while simplifying its merchandise strategy.Prior to Michaels, Buchanan was at retailer Walmart for 13 years, where he held a number of executive roles including chief merchandising and chief operating officer for Walmart U.S. e-Commerce.‘Drill, baby, drill' is unlikely under Trump, Exxon saysOil and gas producers in the US will not raise output significantly in the coming years despite calls from President-Elect Donald Trump to “drill, baby, drill,” said Exxon Mobil Corp.'s Upstream President Liam Mallon.McDonald's gets into gift-giving with limited-time 2-toy Happy MealThe company said it will sell "Pet Simulator Happy Meals" featuring two toys at participating restaurants across the country beginning Tuesday. One of the toys will be gift-wrapped, the fast-food chain said."We hope this special Happy Meal inspires kids to share during this season of giving," McDonald's executive Jennifer Healan said in a statement. "Whether they choose to give their extra toy to a family member, make a friend smile, or show kindness to a neighbor, it's all about helping kids feel the joy of giving this holiday season."McDonald's to invest more than $100 million to speed up recovery after E. coli outbreakMeta, TikTok, Google slam Australia's under-16 social media banUnder the proposed law, Australians under 16 years of age will be prohibited from setting up accounts on all major social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Reddit, even if they obtain parental permission. The social media giants will be responsible for policing the ban, under threat of fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($32.5 million).Tech firms urge caution and more research(!):TikTok ANZ's director of public policy Ella Woods-Joyce described the legislation as “rushed”Meta said the social media ban “overlooks the practical reality of age assurance technology.”Both Meta and Google said it was important for Australia to wait until a national trial of age verification technology was completed before passing the bill. “In the absence of such results, neither industry nor Australians will understand the nature or scale of age assurance required by the Bill nor the impact of such measures on Australians,” Meta said in its submission.At the same time, Elon Musk's X Corp said the bill was “alarming,” adding that it had “serious concerns as to the lawfulness of the bill,” potentially setting up a court challenge to the legislation. “There is no evidence that banning young people from social media will work, and to make it law in the form proposed is highly problematic,” X said in a submission to the committee, adding that the bill was “vague.”Almost all tech companies warned that the laws could also damage the mental health of young Australians if they were rushed through, by cutting off vulnerable teenagers from online community support networks.The FutureAirPods that never need charging? These researchers just found a way to use your body as a chargerA new Power-over-Skin technology invented at Carnegie Mellon University could change the way we charge our wearables.The new technology works by transforming the human body into a power delivery medium, using RF (radio frequency) signals to wirelessly transmit electricity across the skin. In simple terms, the system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is a battery-powered unit that couples RF energy to the user's skin. It could be integrated into existing items like a phone, smartwatch, or a power bank, which could be placed anywhere on the body. The receiver absorbs this RF energy, transforming it into usable power to operate a wearable gadget—like earbuds, rings, or any kind of low-power electronic device—which could be positioned elsewhere on the body.Vegan cheese market expected to grow to nearly $9 billion by 2031MATT1This Week's Portrait in Corporate PatriotismGreg Penner, Chair of WalMart boardWalmart becomes the latest company to walk back DEI initiativesBecause everyone should get their jobs on merit, not from some affirmative action bullshitFor instance, here's what meritocracy is: Penner was meritocratic enough to marry Rob Walton's daughterHe co-owns the most American and patriotic of things, an NFL team, the Denver Broncos… They believe in family - he co-owns it with his wife who bought itHe started the Penner Foundation to give back to the community with his wife's grandfather's money - he strongly believes in education, having donated 45% of the foundations grants in 2023 to Brown University where his kids HAPPEN to goBoth kids are hardworking athletes at Brown who didn't get on the teams because their parents paid for a new athletic facility at Brown, but because of their skillHis daughter earned her internship at her mom and Walton heiress's venture firmThese are the true patriots who celebrate the meritocracy, not DEI initiatives that separate us into white and not white and normal or gay nanciesWalmart has no place selling things to people who don't merit products, and they have no place supporting trainings about anything except merit badgesHonorary patriot:Brian Niccol, CEO of Starbucks and Walmart board memberHe's a DOUBLE patriot, since he's taking on DEI handouts at both Harley Davidson and Walmart, both of whom chose America over DEI

This sermon was given by African American Pastor Alton R Williams from World Overcomers Church in Memphis, TN. I believe this message is a prophetic word and warning to the African American Church (and the liberal church). Alton R Williams sermon states when thinking about voting for the democratic party "I can't do it". When talking about voting for Kamala Harris he states again "I just can't do it". This sermon then went viral with millions of views on You Tube, Twitter and all over social media. I believe the African American Church is beginning to wake up to the political realities of being loyal to the democratic party. This is a stern warning to the African America church. Its time to wake up. Its getting harder and harder to vote democrat and still be a spirit filled Christian. I wouldn't say its impossible but its getting harder. About 85% of the evangelical community voted conservative in the last election. So stop and think long and hard about that. Something shifted in the last few years during the current administration that opened up a demonic flood in this country like nothing we have ever seen. Its time for the church to wake up. This country isn't headed in the right direction. And people are waking up to this. Just think of the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony this year. God bless World Overcomers Church Alton R Williams for his boldness to speak the truth. This is a true man of God and hope you will attend a church with a preacher who preaches like this!
