“During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the US economy almost completely collapsed,” historian Dana Frank writes in her new book, What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? “By 1933 a third of all those who'd had jobs were unemployed; another third were scraping by with lesser work. Racism, far from collapsing, festered and metastasized as insecurity rippled through the country, pushing people of color even further downward... As we face our own crises today—a precarious economy, outrageous inequality and poverty, growing racism, climate change—and lie awake at night, facing our own fears, these stories from the Great Depression offer us new and often surprising insights into our own time, our own choices.” In this live episode of Working People, recorded at Red Emma's cooperative bookstore, cafe, and community events space in Baltimore, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Frank about her new book and what taking a fresh look at poor and working people's struggles in the dark 1930s can teach us about navigating our own perilous moment in history.  Additional links/info below… Dana Frank, Beacon Press, What Can We Learn from the Great Depression?: Stories of Ordinary People & Collective Action in Hard Times Dana Frank website  Red Emma's website, Facebook page, and Instagram Dana Frank, The Los Angeles Times, “Trump Says He'll Expel a Million Immigrants.

Four Grade 1 winners. Five millionaires. One big race. This weekend's Grade 2, $500,000 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct is punching above the weight of a December race, and it is the feature of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Fox Sports and New York Racing Association racing analyst Richard Migliore will discuss the build-up to the race and how it came up so big. He also will talk about the other graded stakes on Saturday's card, including the Remsen Stakes (G2), a Kentucky Derby prep that last year produced championship contenders Dornoch and Sierra Leone. Trainer Rodolphe Brisset, who will saddle morning-line favorite Mullikin in the Cigar Mile, will look ahead not only to this weekend's feature but also to Liam in the Dust's bid to win the Demoiselle (G2), a points prep for the Kentucky Oaks (G1). Super Screener creator Mike Shutty will handicap the Remsen, the Demoiselle and, of course, the Cigar Mile. Co-host John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times will offer his perspective on the newly filed lawsuit by Churchill Downs Inc. and NYRA against the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority. He also will help go through listener and reader feedback.

When police were called to the scene of shooting at the Castillion Apartments in Los Angeles on April 20, 1968, they assumed the victim, twenty-two-year-old Cheryl Perveler, had been shot in a robbery gone wrong. However, when they began looking into her personal life, they soon realized Cheryl's killer could have been much closer to home.In most cases of individual murders, detectives always look at the spouse first, and in this case, there was a lot to look at. Cheryl had recently married Paul Perveler, a former Los Angeles Police officer with a checkered past and an obvious obsession with wealth and power. Yet the more they investigated Paul Perveler, the more detectives began to suspect they didn't have just one murder on their hands, and it was starting to look like Cheryl's death was the culmination of a larger and far more shocking conspiracy than anyone had expected.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 3, 2024 is: eschew • ess-CHOO • verb To eschew something is to avoid it, especially because you do not think it is right, proper, or practical. // Their teacher was known as a Luddite because he eschewed the use of smartphones and tablets in the classroom. See the entry > Examples: “Scheduled work shifts [at Burning Man] were delayed and continually rearranged, causing confusion among campers as to how and when to contribute.... While some of us found ways to help, others took it as an opportunity to eschew their responsibilities. However, those of us who showed up united, and handled business, did so with aplomb...” — Morena Duwe, The Los Angeles Times, 9 Sept. 2024 Did you know? Something to chew on: there's no etymological relationship between the verbs chew and eschew. While the former comes from the Old English word cēowan, eschew comes instead from the Anglo-French verb eschiver and shares roots with the Old High German verb sciuhen, meaning “to frighten off.” In his famous dictionary of 1755, Samuel Johnson characterized eschew as “almost obsolete.” History has proven that the great lexicographer was wrong on that call, however. Today, following a boom in the word's usage during the 19th and 20th centuries, English speakers and writers use eschew when something is avoided less for temperamental reasons than for moral or practical ones, even if misguidedly so, as when Barry Lopez wrote in his 2019 book Horizon of ill-fated Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott, “with an attitude of cultural superiority, eschewing sled dogs for Manchurian ponies....”

In a world of overindulgence, from drugs, food, news, and social media, Dr. Anna Lembke reveals the science that explains why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain... and what to do about it. She explains how addiction works in the brain and how this plays out on an individual level from the micro decisions we make every single day to the macro. She shares the proven methods to escaping this cycle of suffering and how by intentionally choosing pain through healthy practices like cold plunges, exercise, and meditation, we can reset our dopamine levels in our brain.  She explores the concept of delayed gratification as defined by "The Marshmallow Experiment" which discovered a correlation between success in life and ability to delay gratification.  This episode is full or practical takeaways for anyone looking to better understand their brain and relationship to dopamine/addiction.

BIDEN PARDONS HUNTER. NOW PARDON 10 MILLION OF THE REST OF US - 12.2.24

Countdown with Keith Olbermann

SEASON 3 EPISODE 74: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) BULLETIN: Biden pardons his son. Terrific. Fully support. Now, do the rest of us. Literally offer a pardon to anybody Trump might go after for prosecuting him, criticizing him, covering him, or looking at him funny. I want a 1-800-PARDONME hotline. I want 10 million pardons. SPECIAL COMMENT (2:44): And the pardons should be a jumping off point for how Biden can protect the citizens of this country. What does THIS mean, exactly? “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” Joseph Robinette Biden Junior has taken that exact oath NINE times – seven, as Senator, two as Vice President. He has sworn to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and nothing I have found, and no Constitutional scholar I have consulted, indicates that once taken, those oaths expire.  And the obligation to defend the United States becomes more profound still now that presidents have been immunized by the Supreme Court from prosecution for.. effectively anything. The incoming President, the one who wants an unqualified toady like Kash Patel to head the FBI and desperately wanted a lawless menace like Matt Gaetz to head the DOJ but will instead settle for a cheap lawyer who LED the “lock her up” chanting against Hillary Clinton at the Republican convention, that president-to-be will be immune and thus unstoppable. The CURRENT  president IS immune and thus unstoppable. And already in power and in command and… under oath. So. This raises this theoretical constitutional question: Do the TEN oaths Joe Biden took as Senator, as Vice President, and as President, even PERMIT him to NOT act against enemies, BOTH foreign and domestic – and defend the Constitution of the United States? So help him god? When the Supreme Court has immunized him from prosecution for doing… anything? Anything at all? As long as it's official? B-Block (24:52) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: You do realize that Trump's lies about his phone call with the president of Mexico means we will, soon or late, invade Mexico, right? The quote from the Trump Transition Team member to Rolling Stone is "How MUCH do we invade Mexico?" Trump has now nominated both his daughters' fathers-in-law as envoys to the Middle East - including the one who set up his brother-in-law with a taped sex sting and sent the tape to his own sister. And why did JD Vance post a meme of himself in a dress? C-Block (36:00) THE OTHER WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Vivek Ramaswamy self-owns over unelected bureaucracy. We've found George Carlin's Worst Doctor In The World and he owns The Los Angeles Times. And Sideshow Bob (RFK Junior) is seen, uh, hanging out, in his wife's new supplements commercial.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Trump just one more turbulent chapter in the colorful history of American democracy or does the MAGA movement represent an existential threat to the world's oldest representative democratic system?Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Jonathan Rauch is a senior fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institute and the author of eight books and many articles on public policy, culture, and government. He is a contributing writer of The Atlantic and recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. His many Brookings publications include the 2021 book “The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth”, as well as the 2015 ebook “Political Realism: How Hacks, Machines, Big Money, and Back-Room Deals Can Strengthen American Democracy.” Other books include “The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better after 50” (2018) and “Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America” (2004). He has also authored research on political parties, marijuana legalization, LGBT rights and religious liberty, and more. Although much of his writing has been on public policy, he has also written on topics as widely varied as adultery, agriculture, economics, gay marriage, height discrimination, biological rhythms, number inflation, and animal rights.

In his 1994 book “Demosclerosis”—revised and republished in 2000 as “Government's End: Why Washington Stopped Working”—he argues that America's government is becoming gradually less flexible and effective with time, and suggests ways to treat the malady. His 1993 book “Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought” (the University of Chicago Press) defends free speech and robust criticism, even when it is racist or sexist and even when it hurts. In 1992 his book “The Outnation: A Search for the Soul of Japan” questioned the then-conventional wisdom that Japan was fundamentally different from the West. Rauch was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and graduated in 1982 from Yale University.

Jonathan Oddi's allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs stem from a resurfaced 2018 interrogation video, where Oddi claimed to have been a "sex slave" for Diddy and singer Cassie Ventura. These claims, which include Oddi's allegations of drug use (such as "liquid cocaine") and sexually abusive behavior, have re-emerged amidst Diddy's ongoing legal troubles, although they were never substantiated, and no legal action was taken based on Oddi's accusations.Oddi, a former adult film star, made these claims following his arrest for a violent incident at the Trump National Doral Golf Club, where he engaged in a gunfight with police. While his accusations have been dismissed by many as delusional, they continue to draw attention, especially given Diddy's recent legal battles, which include other serious allegations involving sexual misconduct and abuse​.(commercial at 17:10)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comHuman trafficking is a serious crime and violation of human rights in the United States, and federal laws have been enacted to combat it including: Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA): Enacted in 2000 and subsequently reauthorized, the TVPA is the cornerstone of anti-trafficking legislation in the United States. It defines trafficking in persons and establishes various means to combat it, including prevention, prosecution, and protection for victims.Federal Laws: There are several federal statutes specifically targeting human trafficking:18 U.S. Code § 1581-1595 (Peonage, Slavery, and Trafficking in Persons): This section of the U.S. Code addresses various forms of human trafficking, including forced labor, involuntary servitude, and sex trafficking. It outlines criminal penalties for offenders.18 U.S. Code § 2421-2429 (Transportation for Illegal Sexual Activity and Related Crimes): These statutes criminalize transportation for illicit sexual activity, including transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution or other unlawful sexual activities.18 U.S. Code § 1951 (Interference with Commerce by Threats or Violence): This law, commonly known as the Hobbs Act, prohibits robbery and extortion that affects interstate commerce. It can be applied in cases where trafficking involves coercion or extortion.Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (VTVPA): Passed in 2000 as part of the TVPA, the VTVPA enhances protections and assistance for victims of trafficking. It establishes the "T Visa" for victims of severe forms of trafficking who cooperate with law enforcement, allowing them to stay and work temporarily in the United States.Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA): CAPTA, initially enacted in 1974 and reauthorized several times, requires states to have laws and policies in place to address child abuse and neglect. This includes provisions specific to child victims of trafficking.International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA): Enacted in 2005, IMBRA regulates international marriage brokers and requires them to conduct background checks on U.S. clients and disclose certain information to foreign national clients.Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act (JVTA): Passed in 2015, JVTA strengthens existing anti-trafficking laws and enhances support for victims. It expands law enforcement tools, increases victim restitution, and provides additional resources for prevention and victim services.Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE): ICE plays a crucial role in investigating and prosecuting human trafficking cases, particularly those involving international borders. It works in collaboration with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.These laws collectively provide a framework for the prevention, prosecution, and protection of victims of human trafficking in the United States. They aim to combat the exploitation of vulnerable individuals and hold traffickers accountable for their crimes. Additionally, various states have enacted their own laws addressing human trafficking, complementing federal efforts.Using these laws and cases like the R. Kelly case as precedent, the prosecutors have a roadmap on how to get to the finish line when it comes to these kinds of RICO/Human Trafficking cases.   The question is, do they have the evidence? (commercial at 11:00) to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs and what it takes to build a sex-trafficking case - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)

Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team is currently engaged in a battle to prevent the use of a video showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, from being used as evidence in his upcoming trial. The video, reportedly from a 2016 incident at a hotel, surfaced publicly through CNN in May 2024. Diddy's lawyers argue that the government, specifically the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), unlawfully leaked the footage to tarnish his reputation and compromise his right to a fair trial.In their legal filings, Diddy's team claims that the release of the video was strategically aimed at influencing public opinion and tainting the potential jury pool. They have requested an evidentiary hearing to investigate the alleged government misconduct, along with access to related documents and communications. Additionally, they are pushing for a gag order to prevent further leaks from government personnel and seeking to suppress the video from being admitted in court as evidence.The legal strategy centers on the argument that the video's publication has led to damaging pre-trial publicity, which they claim jeopardizes Diddy's ability to receive an impartial trial. Meanwhile, Diddy faces serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, and remains in custody awaiting his trial, scheduled for May 2025.This legal move reflects the high stakes for both Diddy and his legal team, as the video serves as a critical piece of evidence in the broader criminal case against him, alongside multiple civil lawsuits alleging abuse and misconduct.source:The shocking video of Sean 'Diddy' Combs attacking Cassie at center of case - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)Adria Sheri English has recently made strong statements about her intent to testify against Sean "Diddy" Combs in his upcoming federal trial.

She expressed her commitment to ensuring that Combs is held accountable, stating that she hopes her testimony will lead to his imprisonment for life.English's legal team has emphasized that she felt manipulated by Combs' influence and power, describing how she was allegedly pressured to participate in these acts due to fear of being blacklisted from the music industry. English has also detailed how alcohol at these events was often laced with drugs, which further impaired her ability to resist. Her attorney has made it clear that English is eager to see justice served, and she has already filed both civil and criminal complaints against Combs.Combs' legal team has denied all allegations, dismissing them as baseless, and expressed confidence that he will prevail in court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs forced women to have sex with guests at drugged-up parties — says dancer who wants rapper in jail 'for life' (nypost.com)

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it

Many were shocked in February 2022 by the Russian attempt to seize Kyiv and decapitate the Ukranian regime, thereby ending the war begun in 2014. But this was simply the latest in a long series of Russian attempts to “divide and oppress Ukraine.” Since the 19th century, dominating Ukraine has been a cornerstone of Russia's national identity. To prevent Ukraine from choosing an alternative, Russian rulers of all ideological varieties have used not only history and cultural destruction as their methods, but executions, deportations, and famine. It is not very surprising, argues my guest Eugene Finkel, that these tools of oppression should be so readily picked up by yet another Russian autocrat. What makes this moment different is that for the first time in its history Ukraine has overcome its internal divisions and united in favor of independence from Russia.  Eugene Finkel is Kenneth H. Keller Professor of International Affairs at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. The author or coauthor of three previous books, his writing has appeared in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Foreign Affairs. He was born in Lviv, Ukraine, and lives in Bologna, Italy. His most recent book is Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two Hundred Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine. For Further Investigation Eugene Finkel's previous books include Ordinary Jews: Choice and Survival during the Holocaust (Princeton University Press, 2017) This conversation is related in some way to a surprising number of previous podcasts. One with Chris Miller on the perennial Russian pivot to Asia that always fails; you can hear a little about the Russian wars against the Turks for Ukraine in Episode 284, when I discussed the career of Russia's greatest general with Alex Mikaberidze; something about Ukrainian grain in my conversation with Scott Nelson about his book Oceans of Grain; a long conversation about Josef Pilsudski, founder of modern Poland; and Episode 348, about the Russian Civil War. And of course my conversation with Michael Kimmage in Episode 354 about the immediate antecedents of the Ukrainian War. Listeners who believe in comparing arguments–and you should all believe in that–ought to listen to Kimmage immediately after digesting this podcast.

How Crisis Management Protects Your Firm's Reputation It's essential to have a team ready to support lawyers who may lack the time, resources, or familiarity to navigate a crisis effectively With the potential for intense media scrutiny, it's crucial to have a well-defined message that addresses concerns beyond just the legal setting. 4.

On November 2, 2016, thirty-four-year-old so-called “Supermom” Sherri Papini went out for a run near her home in Redding, California, and disappeared without a trace. Three weeks later, on Thanksgiving Day, Sherri was discovered on the side of the road in a nearby county, where she said her captors had released her. In the days that followed, Sherri claimed she had been kidnapped by two unknown Latin American women, who physically abused her, including branding her on the shoulder with the word “Exodus.” The case garnered considerable attention from the local and national media, but when it came to details on her abductors and their motives, Sherri was surprisingly tight-lipped, giving the police and FBI little to work with. In March 2022, more than five years after her supposed abduction, the nation was shocked to learn that federal agents had arrested Papini and charged her with faking her own kidnapping. A month later, Sherri pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to more than a year in prison. The news was stunning and left everyone wondering, why would a seemingly ordinary and ostensibly happy mother orchestrate such a bizarre hoax?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesABC News. 2016.
