This week's episode gets heavy, but it needs to.I talk about the vibe at the Pink Motel, the Chopped & Dropped show, and what I witnessed Saturday — a moment that hit hard and stayed with me. I dive into the emotional weight of seeing ICE activity that close to home, what it's doing to communities, and how sharing it on social media led to conversations, reactions… and some backlash.Sunday and Monday brought protests, and now we're seeing National Guard and Marine presence in our own neighborhoods. I get real about what it means to post, to speak up, and to fight for people who can't.Here's the truth:You can't be about the culture if you don't support its people.You can't ride for the art, the cars, the food, the music, and then stay silent when the very people behind it are under attack.This hits especially close for me as someone from an immigrant family. My Ring app has been blowing up with ICE sightings in my area — markets, churches, even people's front doors at 5am. That's not safety. That's terror.We also touch on California's SB 54 — the sanctuary state law meant to protect people — and why it's more important than ever to know your rights and protect your communities.If what I'm saying offends you or makes you uncomfortable, then maybe this isn't the space for you. But if you're ready to fight the good fight — even when it's hard, even when it costs you followers or so-called “friends” — then you're exactly who this is for.Use your voice. Speak up. And fuck the fear.Stay Golden y'all

As contempt for cancel culture and self-censorship on college campuses continues to drive a political divide across the country, correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on a new start-up university, the University of Austin, in Austin, Texas. Labeled by some as an “anti-woke university,” Wertheim speaks to the founders, students, and advisors, about how they believe they're disrupting modern academia by fostering debate and ideological openness in their classrooms. As chatbots continue to evolve, Lesley Stahl reports from Nairobi, Kenya, on the growing market of “humans in the loop” – workers around the world who help train AI for big American tech companies. Stahl speaks with digital workers who have spent hours in front of screens teaching and improving AI, but complain of poor working conditions, low pay, and undertreated psychological trauma.Correspondent Bill Whitaker cruises through Espanola, New Mexico, a town that's a hub of lowrider culture: vintage American automobiles with vibrant paint jobs and street-scraping suspensions. He meets a community of “cruisers” who are turning their hobby's bad-boy reputation on its head, paving a new route as activists and community servants, and claiming a place as custodians of Hispanic culture and champions of fine art.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
