Rachel Wilson joins us today to discuss gender roles, growing up with brothers and her book, Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation. Despite women's studies and gender studies majors becoming more prevalent, the history of prominent feminists is surrounded by a facade while in reality, early feminists were frauds, hucksters and con artists. We discuss how we got here, the negative impacts of feminism and how we fix it.

Prosperity Pep Talk: My Non-Negotiables In Spiritual Leadership {What I look for in a mentor, and the standards I hold myself to.}I saw a big-name spiritual leader say “don't talk politics, it might cost you followers” — and I have thoughts.Here's the truth: some things aren't politics. They're human rights, dignity, and liberation. And as spiritual leaders, we cannot stay silent.In today's Pep Talk, I dive deep into what it truly means to lead with integrity, reverence, and courage as a spiritual leader and why naming systemic harm isn't “politics,” it's part of the healing work.Here's what you'll get from this episode:Standards I hold as a leader – what I expect from myself and the mentors I choose.Mentorship insights – why the right mentor helps you expand your capacity for discomfort, release old stories, and step fully into your magic.Healing is systemic – why personal empowerment alone isn't enough if we ignore the patriarchal and oppressive systems that shape our lives.Values over profit – how spiritual leaders can speak up for human rights, environmental reverence, and dignity without fear of “losing followers.”Practical inspiration – what it looks like to navigate discomfort, cultivate resilience, and show up for collective liberation.I have more to say on this soooo - I'll do Part Two TOMORROW! We'll go even deeper into mentorship, leadership, and how to navigate these conversations in your own work.✨ Explore the Priestess Path to Liberation and do your own deep inner work: live.theselflovelifestyle.com/liberation

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Susan Price – The everyday person, especially our youth, has no knowledge of the historical-political thuggery that gives new meaning to the terms piracy, treason, and "follow the money." The bottom line is, President Trump is liberating the good people of Iran and other foreign nations from their evil war-mongering-tyrants...

As Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's war against the world enhances regional and global threats to the planet, this week's session of In Class With Carr centers community self-determination as a strategy for both resisting oppression and changing the deteriorating Social Structure of the Modern World System. Drawing on the momentum of memory rooted in living movement institutions, we pose a central question: How do we free our minds so that we can liberate our spaces? Answering that question requires challenging the illusion of inevitability under a dying empire. It means building independent institutions while also reimagining shared spaces in order to remake them, infusing them with our Governance protocols and Ways of Knowing, all in our collective interest. Central to this work is the power of storytelling to restore collective memory, cultivate disciplined political clarity and strengthen global solidarity—transforming hope into collective positive action.Are you a member of Knarrative?

In this episode: - Elica Le Bon's family story and the legacy of the 1979 revolution - Life under the Islamic regime and the experience of repression - Why the Iranian regime sees Israel as central to its ideology - The gap between the Iranian people and the regime ruling them - How ideological narratives in the West shape perceptions of the war - The “mind virus” of anti-Western and anti-Zionist thinking - Protest movements inside Iran and the risks people face - What a post-regime Iran could mean for the Middle East and the world Listen to the latest episode of For Heaven's Sake.

In this episode of A Fresh Story: Simple Tips to Support Yourself, host Olivia Howell sits down with Meredith Beardmore — therapist, author, and YouTuber — whose entire practice is dedicated to helping women navigate the painful and often overlooked experience of loving someone with an addiction. With both professional expertise and personal lived experience, Meredith brings rare authority to a topic that affects millions of people silently. Whether you are currently in a relationship with someone struggling with alcoholism or narcotic addiction, or navigating life after leaving one, this episode delivers the kind of addiction recovery support and emotional resilience tools you need to begin putting yourself first.Meredith's core message is clear: the pain of loving an addict is valid, and self-care is not selfish — it is survival. She walks listeners through her top practical strategies, beginning with the critical importance of establishing personal boundaries and recognizing that your loved one's needs cannot continue to override your own. She strongly recommends Al-Anon and Nar-Anon — free, widely available support groups focused not on the addict, but on the loved ones — as essential tools for emotional resilience and starting over after an addictive relationship. Meredith also addresses the often-neglected foundation of physical wellbeing: sleep hygiene, nutrition, and regular self-care practices that protect your nervous system from the chronic stress that loving an addict produces. For those seeking therapy, she advises specifically asking for a clinician experienced with loved ones of addicts or, where unavailable, a therapist specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery — noting the significant overlap in patterns and tactics.Meredith is also the author of two powerful resources: Hey Addiction, Thanks for Nothing — a brutally honest self-help workbook for those currently loving an addict — and The Plan B Chronicles: Divorce, Defiance, Liberation, a memoir chronicling her own journey through divorce recovery and the path to finding herself on the other side. Her message to anyone listening who feels trapped, ashamed, or alone? Let go of the guilt. You cannot save someone from addiction. You can, however, save yourself — and there is an entire community ready to support you in doing exactly that.

#368: Are you the one who's not frozen… but furious? The one whose rage erupts at the dinner table, at work, in organizing spaces, because you are done watching injustice slide by? What if your rage is valid, but not always effective? In this episode, I talk directly to the firebrands. I break down what happens in your nervous system when rage takes over, how sympathetic activation shuts down strategic thinking, and why constant eruption can isolate you instead of building power. I explore how rage and emotional outsourcing are connected, and how reacting from activation keeps you just as hijacked as freezing does. You'll learn how to recognize when rage is righteous and when it's discharge, how to regulate without suppressing your anger, and how to channel your rage strategically. I share practical ways to stay connected to your values while deciding when to disrupt, when to educate, and when to walk away. Your rage is fuel. Let's learn how to direct it.

Recorded from a live SAND Gathering (February 2026). From Los Angeles to Minneapolis, communities are turning toward one another in a time of uncertainty, remembering that care begins close to home. Beyond public action, quieter networks of support are taking root: block-by-block relationships grounded in land, lineage, and love. This gathering explores how spiritual practice, trauma-aware care, and neighborhood organizing are being woven together as living traditions. We ask what it looks like to shift our energy from reactive mobilization toward steady, proactive organizing that can sustain us for the long haul. Drawing from Indigenous memory, Black freedom traditions, diasporic Jewish practices of care, and contemporary grassroots work, we reflect on how mutual care—feeding one another, tending grief, protecting children, honoring the dead—can be reclaimed as daily sacred practice. This is a conversation about blending spiritual practice and movement practice; about thinking smaller, closer, and more relational; and about learning from quiet, resilient forms of organizing that move people from isolation into coordinated courage. This conversation invites attunement: How do we stay grounded in grief without collapsing? How do we strengthen relationships across differences? How do small, steady acts of care help communities move from fear toward shared courage? This is an invitation to listen to the wisdom already alive in our histories, our bodies, and our neighborhoods.

In this special bonus livestream, Sam Whitfield breaks down the shocking geopolitical developments following the reported death of Iran's Ayatollah and what it could mean for the future of the Islamic Republic. Could this moment mark the beginning of a long-awaited liberation for the Iranian people, or is the world simply entering another volatile chapter in Middle Eastern politics?Sam pushes back against the narrative that Donald Trump's actions were purely in service of Israel, arguing instead that decisive action against the Iranian regime has been consistent with Trump's views for decades. A resurfaced 1980 interview clip shows Trump advocating strong measures to protect American interests against Iran—demonstrating that this policy stance is nothing new.The episode also explores reports suggesting the United States Space Force may have played a pivotal role in the operation by disrupting Iranian radar and communications systems, potentially enabling the precision strikes that reshaped the region overnight.Later in the stream, Sam reacts to remarks from Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Shah of Iran, who thanks Trump and expresses hope that the Iranian people may finally reclaim their country from the regime.Along the way, Sam also shares updates on Rumble Studio, discusses the technical side of running the livestream, and promotes his upcoming political thriller American Inferno.The death of the Ayatollah and its potential geopolitical consequencesTrump's decades-long stance on IranThe possible role of U.S. Space Force in modern warfareReza Pahlavi's message to the Iranian peopleLivestream production updates on Rumble StudioUpdates on Sam Whitfield's upcoming novel American Inferno
Dinesh D'Souza- The Historical Case for Regime Change. REGIME CHANGE, TRUMP STYLE Dinesh lays out the historical case for regime change, arguing that America's greatest triumphs—from the Revolution to the Cold War—came when oppressive regimes were decisively removed and replaced with better systems. He applies that framework to Iran, contending that ending the mullahs' rule would deal a historic blow to radical Islam while advancing American interests without repeating the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Synopsis: From Resistance to Revolution How Communities Are Creating a New Economy This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: People across the country are resisting authoritarianism in creative and powerful ways, and this is just the start. The folks at The People's Network for Land & Liberation (PNLL) say the forces that got us here are bigger than one bad leader; entire systems must be taken down. Building a brighter future requires a vision of economic and social justice — and lots of practice. Today on Laura Flanders & Friends, we look at some of those practical experiments and paths for radical change, and discuss why they're just as important as resistance. The members of PNLL, a multiracial, multiethnic consortium of six community-based organizations, are doing politics and economics differently in real places across the U.S. right now. Joining us are Edget Betru, an attorney, activist and Coordinator of the People's Network for Land & Liberation; David Cobb, PNLL staff person and Co-coordinator of the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network; and Blair Evans, Founder and Executive Director of Incite Focus, a production and training lab based in Idlewild, Michigan. Find out how to build for the future — even in the toughest circumstances. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on William Morris's News From Nowhere. “We've been colonized in our minds . . . Involving people in day-to-day produce, meeting their needs through a different way, through thinking, Hey, who in my neighborhood knows how to fix this? . . . It's really that shift in consciousness that needs to happen that's going to allow for this new economy to emerge.” - Edget Betru “My mama and my mamaw and my papa who raised me taught me a lesson as a little boy, and that is, there's enough to go around as long as we share. That made sense to me when I was five years old. It makes sense to me now when I'm 63 years old. There's enough to go around as long as we share. It's just as simple as that.” - David Cobb “We can make things that make things, we can design and build our own equipment that can then use locally sourced materials, hyper localizing the supply chain . . . We can stop feeding the monster that's consuming us and actually disconnect from that process and use what we have.” - Blair Evans Guests: • Edget Betru: Coordinator, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Board Member, Community Movement Builders • David Cobb: Staff, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Manager, Butterfly Impact Fund; Co-Coordinator, U.S. Solidarity Economy Network • Blair Evans: Coalition Member, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Founder & Executive Director, Incite Focus; Designer & Trainer, Fab Lab Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Flowing from the idea that children need to express themselves online to form an identity, video game avatars serve as an introductory and primary portal for this. The cosmetic economy of avatar customization generates billions in revenue for game makers, while users pay and play their way into discovering their identity. The ability to customize your appearance in the game isn’t just a fun feature. As we reveal in this episode, avatar customization can shape children’s real-world identities. But identities are not created or curated – they are given by God. This is one more way video games disciple children away from the gospel and into a self-above-all-else, unbiblical worldview. Listen in as we inform and equip parents to know about and act against this unseen evil.

"The cypherpunk principle that 'cypherpunks write code' takes on revolutionary meaning when writing code no longer requires programming knowledge. Eric Hughes meant that political freedom comes through building systems without requesting permission, and now that building happens through natural language instruction to AI agents. You achieve sovereignty over computing through direct technical capability. The code becomes yours in the most fundamental sense: modified by your specifications, compiled on your hardware, serving your purposes exclusively." ~ Max Hillebrand What if every piece of software you use could be shaped entirely to your will - no bloat, no telemetry, no features you never asked for? Max Hillebrand argues that AI hasn't just changed who can code, it's changed *what code even is*. Could the combination of open source and AI agents finally destroy the vendor lock-in model for good?

Donald Trump says he's liberated the people of Iran to forge their own future, after killing their autocratic leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But as the bombing continues and any organised resistance struggles to emerge, is this ethnically diverse land, with thousands of years of history, at risk of breaking up or descending into sectarian division? Nahid Siamdoust of the University of Texas specialises in the politics and culture of the Middle East. She's also part of the Iranian diaspora.Guest:Professor Nahid Siamdoust of the University of Texas specialises in the politics and culture of the Middle East. She's also part of the Iranian diaspora.

So much of what we think, say and do is habitual - we react without thinking. The Buddha taught that our reactivity is also impacted by whether we experience something as pleasant, unpleasant or neutral. In this talk Mary discusses how this colors our experiences in the world and how to create new habits that are not reactive, but instead, are truly in the moment and grounded in wisdom and compassion.Recorded Feb. 28, 2026 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Liberation! President Trump's surprise move on the Islamic Regime and the Ayatollah in Iran has been mostly praised. Iranians across the globe have been thanking Trump while dancing in the streets, but just like Venezuela, the never-Trumpers are bashing the bombings. Also on the show: Vice President JD Vance has been noticeably missing the midst of the news, Trump is a crusty old man, and the CEO of McDonalds is getting memed online after tasting a McD's burger.

This episode explores Manon as both a tragic love story and a sharp portrait of postwar France. We examine how Henri-Georges Clouzot adapts an 18th-century novel into a study of moral ambiguity in the shadow of Liberation and the trial of Philippe Pétain.The discussion focuses on Manon as a socially marked woman shaped by poverty, sexuality, and public judgment, and on Robert as a dislocated Resistance fighter whose devotion masks instability rather than heroism. We consider how Clouzot crafts a distinctly unsentimental “woman's picture,” how his visual style reflects a climate of suspicion and exhaustion, and how the film anticipates the psychological pressure of later works like The Wages of Fear and Les Diaboliques.Subscribe here
As we close the final day of Blackest History Month, the governments of the United States and Israel have declared war on Iran, an action that casts both countries as pariah states and threatens the lives and security of everyone in those three countries and beyond. At the same time, doomed efforts by predatory monied interests to shape and control mass media narratives and images are intensifying. Filmmaker Haile Gerima has described narratives as scalpels that cut into the center of our minds and consciousness. The struggle of liberation-oriented Governance formations against an increasingly fragile contemporary global Social Structure, then, is first and foremost, a clash between forces determined to reduce humanity to servitude and people who refuse to submit. What happens when increasingly desperate would-be masters can no longer control those they seek to dominate?Are you a member of Knarrative?

030226 Scott Adams Show, Operation Epic Fury and the Liberation of Iran, World Peace
On Saturday February 28, the US and Israel began bombing Iran, resulting in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as killing several hundred citizens, including over 100 at a girl's school. The attacks came a day after the Trump administration reported that Iran had shown surprising flexibility in negotiations over its nuclear program. Iran has launched missile attacks against Israel and the numerous American bases in neighboring Middle East countries. Congressional Democratic leaders, who helped delay a vote on a War Powers Act until after the attacks, have primarily complained about the process used to launch the war and the lack of clear goals and reasons for the assault. Widespread protests against the US military actions have broken out across the country and globally. Several hundred gathered on Sunday in Townsend Park in Albnay. We hear from Tom Ellis and Eyad Alkurabi of the Palestinian Rights Committee, the lead sponsors of the event. We also hear from Peter LaVenia of the Green Party and Ricky from the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Due to current events, we will talked about history and current situation of our brothers and sisters in Iran is going thru. We will be informed.

This conversation confronts a tension most people avoid: the conflict between experiencing the full truth and survival. Leo Gura argues that pursuing absolute truth dismantles identity, morality, and even humanity's instinct to preserve itself. The discussion explores nonduality, awakening, institutional rot, and the psychological cost of radical skepticism. At stake is a stark question: do we ultimately serve truth, or does it serve us?Part 2: https://youtu.be/zeHVGPS56BMPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Nonduality00:02:18 Reality as One: Nonduality Explained00:05:33 Meaning Beyond Materialism00:07:58 Rationality, Intuition, and the Infinite00:10:01 Fundamentalism in Religion and Physics00:16:20 Survival, Truth, and Cultural Systems00:19:51 Awakening and Absolute Consciousness00:23:20 Truth Versus Survival Instincts00:27:12 The Cost of Pursuing Absolute Truth00:30:00 Total Skepticism and Institutional Limits00:35:18 Intuition, Fallibility, and Discovery00:39:52 Truth Obsession Versus Curiosity00:42:43 The Book That Triggered the Shift00:49:00 Post-Survival Malaise in Modern Life00:53:08 Truth as Anchor in Cultural Collapse00:57:45 Evolution Through Consciousness01:00:25 When Survival Undermines Truth01:04:50 Absolute Good Versus Human Morality01:08:22 Projection, Duality, and Value01:13:08 The Risk of Anti-Human Philosophy01:15:54 Two Competing Truth Systems01:18:39 Truth as Liberation and Moral Reconstruction #Nonduality, #Awakening, #Consciousness, #truthseekers , #Philosophy, #Existence, #SelfRealization, #Metaphysics, #Morality, #EgoDeath, , #physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
Synopsis: Members of PNLL are experimenting with new ways of doing politics and economics in communities across the US, focusing on local solutions and shared resources. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: People across the country are resisting authoritarianism in creative and powerful ways, and this is just the start. The folks at The People's Network for Land & Liberation (PNLL) say the forces that got us here are bigger than one bad leader; entire systems must be taken down. Building a brighter future requires a vision of economic and social justice — and lots of practice. Today on Laura Flanders & Friends, we look at some of those practical experiments and paths for radical change, and discuss why they're just as important as resistance. The members of PNLL, a multiracial, multiethnic consortium of six community-based organizations, are doing politics and economics differently in real places across the U.S. right now. Joining us are Edget Betru, an attorney, activist and Coordinator of the People's Network for Land & Liberation; David Cobb, PNLL staff person and Co-coordinator of the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network; and Blair Evans, Founder and Executive Director of Incite Focus, a production and training lab based in Idlewild, Michigan. Find out how to build for the future — even in the toughest circumstances. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on William Morris's News From Nowhere. “We've been colonized in our minds . . . Involving people in day-to-day produce, meeting their needs through a different way, through thinking, Hey, who in my neighborhood knows how to fix this? . . . It's really that shift in consciousness that needs to happen that's going to allow for this new economy to emerge.” - Edget Betru “My mama and my mamaw and my papa who raised me taught me a lesson as a little boy, and that is, there's enough to go around as long as we share. That made sense to me when I was five years old. It makes sense to me now when I'm 63 years old. There's enough to go around as long as we share. It's just as simple as that.” - David Cobb “We can make things that make things, we can design and build our own equipment that can then use locally sourced materials, hyper localizing the supply chain . . . We can stop feeding the monster that's consuming us and actually disconnect from that process and use what we have.” - Blair Evans Guests: • Edget Betru: Coordinator, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Board Member, Community Movement Builders • David Cobb: Staff, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Manager, Butterfly Impact Fund; Co-Coordinator, U.S. Solidarity Economy Network • Blair Evans: Coalition Member, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Founder & Executive Director, Incite Focus; Designer & Trainer, Fab Lab Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Gaea Star Crystal #658 is an hour of dynamic, improvised visionary acoustic music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, double flute, kalimba, ukulele, mandolin, acoustic guitar and Tibetan bowls, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts on a cold, mid-winter afternoon in mid-February of 2026, today's show begins with “Liberation”, a peaceful, prayerful raga that begins with singing bowls and features kalimba, piano and Native drum supporting Mariam's message of peace and soaring, echoing Native flute fanfares bring in “Oh, Let's Revel In Our Own Happiness”, a restless, complexly beautiful song with a fine flute-and-voice conversation over galloping Native drum and evocative, modern minor piano figurations. “Embracing The Grace” is an expansive ballad that features a fine vocal and overtone-producing double flute from Mariam with a beautifully emotional coda and “Fire Horse New Year” is a kinetic, energized minor with a powerful lyric from Mariam about new beginnings over skipping, racing piano, chiming ukulele and fundamental Native drum that resolves into a powerful, mysterious coda. “Isis”, a stately song from Mariam's “Gaea Star Goddesses” LP is rendered with a reverent, classical approach and “Reborn” from the “Gaea Star Crystal” LP is a racing, breathless minor rocker with fine vocals and a powerful instrumental hook. “Burning Ember” from Mariam's “Smooth Sailin' Love Songs” album features another powerful vocal from Mariam and we conclude this week's show with a mandolin-driven re-imagining of “All Life Unfolds” a powerful, fundamental raga with a British Isles feel.

The most basic function of mind is to receive messages from the senses so the indwelling consciousness can experience the outer world. Suffering begins when consciousness fixates on certain experiences and refuses to let them pass. These fixations become stored impressions that form the ego mind, distorting the perception of reality. Liberation comes not from controlling life to match the ego, but from letting go of identification with the personal mind so experiences pass through freely and actions arise from clarity and compassion instead of ego. © Sounds True Inc.

Synopsis: Surviving and Thriving in Turbulent Times Third World Newsreel's Enduring Legacy This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: • Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! • Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist • JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Spiritual liberation is not about rearranging the contents of the psyche but about stepping back and observing the psyche with clarity. If you do so, you will see that most emotional and mental suffering is rooted in fear: fear of failure, loss, and rejection. Spiritual freedom requires the courage to look upward toward truth, God, and the vastness of the universe while letting go of the deep internal fears that drive our actions. Liberation is not earned through outer success, control, or acceptance from others, but by choosing to be free from the tyranny of the personal self. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2026 Michael A.

At this moment, as the Epstein horrors are being revealed and many survivors are carrying fresh grief and reopened wounds, we wanted to return to one of the most grounding conversations we've ever shared. This is Part 1 of our honest and deeply hopeful conversation with activist, advocate, and founder of the me too movement, Tarana Burke. For nearly three decades, Tarana has worked at the intersection of racial justice, gender equity, and anti-violence—interrupting systems that disproportionately harm marginalized people, particularly Black women and girls. We talk about the impossible double bind survivors live inside of—how community can both protect and silence—why so many are taught to perform “goodness” to survive, and how joy, truth-telling, and collective care become radical acts. Tarana's work has not only exposed hard truths about power and harm, but has also expanded access to resources, support, and pathways forward—inviting each of us to find our place in the movement. For Part 2 of our conversation with Tarana Burke, go here. And for Amanda's two-part series on the Epstein Files, go here: THE EPSTEIN FILES, EXPLAINED: Everything You Need to Know EPSTEIN SURVIVORS' ATTORNEY WHO EXPOSED GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY: Brad Edwards CW: We reference sexual abuse and trauma. About Tarana: Tarana J. Burke has been working at the intersection of racial justice, arts and culture, anti-violence and gender equity for nearly three decades. Fueled by a commitment to interrupt systemic issues disproportionately impacting marginalized people, like sexual violence, particularly for black women and girls, Tarana has created and led campaigns that have brought awareness to the harmful legacies surrounding communities of color. Specifically, her work to end sexual violence has not only exposed the ugly truths of sexism and spoke truth to power, it has also increased access to resources and support for survivors and paved a way forward for everyone to find their place in the movement.
