Synopsis: An AI revolution is underway, but so is the resistance.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: An AI revolution is underway, but so is the resistance. People across the country are feeling the strain of the huge energy-sucking data processing centers that AI requires, and telling their elected officials to slow down or stop new big tech projects for firms like OpenAI, Amazon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft. Data from a 2025 Pew study shows that only 17 percent of Americans think AI will have a positive impact over the next 20 years. But it's a David vs. Goliath battle. Today's guests say AI expansion is not a red or blue issue; it's about who gets to decide how human and natural resources are distributed, who controls the technology, and who stands to benefit. Faiz Shakir is the Founder and Executive Director of the labor-focused news platform More Perfect Union, and serves as a political advisor for Senator Bernie Sanders. John Cassidy, staff writer at the New Yorker, is the author of the recent book, “Capitalism and Its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI”, in which he draws our attention back to the Luddites, the 18th century workers whose revolt deserves our closer attention. Plus, our correspondent's coverage of a shocking scene at a public comment meeting in Wisconsin when a local woman was arrested and dragged away. If AI is the new face of capitalism, what is the new alternative?“Luddites, when I was growing up, was a term of abuse. It was people who were sort of antediluvians and didn't understand the modern world. . . . They understood the modern world as it was in their times perfectly, and they saw it was moving against them, and they saw that the political system wasn't coming to their defense.” - John Cassidy“. . . There's more and more pushback, which hopefully portends the possibility that a lot of these communities can strike better deals if they are going to have data centers. There's no reason why we can't be asking that the teachers are well paid, that the electricity rates don't go up, that we have decent affordable housing in those communities. That is all possible because we're playing with incredible amounts of dollars and deep-pocketed people . . . ” - Faiz ShakirGuests:• John Cassidy: Staff Writer, The New Yorker; Author, Capitalism and Its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI• Faiz Shakir: Founder & Executive Director, More Perfect Union; Political Advisor & Former Campaign Manager, Senator Bernie Sanders Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

On Thursday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel finally acknowledges that Dan exists...solely to run a hit piece on a conservative candidate. Plus, the Wisconsin Republican Party pushes back against Dan's reporting on their finances, so Dan corrects the record...and finds that it's even worse than he thought.
The Milwaukee Brewers finally made an offseason splash, trading ace starter Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers to the New York Mets for two young players likely to help the Brewers in 2026. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe dissect the deal in this emergency podcast, discussing the newcomers and where they fit with the team. Plus: The consternation that comes with trading a top player; can the Brewers ever operate without moving a star before he hits free agency? What's the rotation picture now? What's Freddy's legacy in Milwaukee? Is Joey Ortiz's job in jeopardy?
It's Hot Stove season, not that the Brewers are standing anywhere near the flame. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe, both of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, each offer five names who might interest the Brewers, but don't expect any exciting names. In fact, one of the rules of their draft: The player can't be obviously exciting. Before that, they discuss the Los Angeles Dodgers signing of Kyle Tucker for an absurd four years and $240 million. Sure, a lockout would be bad for baseball, but they break down at length whether or not it would be bad for the Milwaukee Brewers, if such an action results in an MLB salary cap.
In the second hour, Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review joins the show to discuss the news coming out of Minneapolis regarding the second shooting and a threat from the president against the community. We discuss the origins of the law cited by Trump and what it means for our democracy when the Senate votes to give the president more power then The Constitution intended. Then, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writer JR Radcliffe joins us to talk about two things he loves: Packers Football and a certain hard rock band from the late 90's.

To slightly modify the lyrics from Wicked: “Donald, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once? Instead of flying off the handle!” The president loves to defy the rules of politics — not to mention basic human decency — but defying the gravity of current polling in next year's midterms might be something even a wizard couldn't pull off.

Whew, that was fun. The Milwaukee Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the series, lost it and then prevailed in a 3-1 thriller Oct. 11 to win the National League Division Series against the rival Cubs and former manager Craig Counsell.

As the midterm campaign approaches, the political winds are starting to kick up around Minnesota.Places that used to send Democrats to St. Paul or Washington no longer do — or at least not as much. Meanwhile, Republicans are working to head off the historical trend of the president's party losing ground.On this special broadcast of Politics Friday, MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst heads to Moorhead, Minn., where he and his guests talk about the shift toward Republicans in the northwestern part of the state. Plus, we learn how the parties are trying to connect with voters in these tense political times.

In this book, Paul A. Thomas—a seasoned Wikipedia contributor who has accrued about 60,000 edits since he started editing in 2007—breaks down the history of the free encyclopedia and explains the process of becoming an editor. Now a newly minted Ph.D. and a library specialist at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, he outlines the many roles a Wikipedia editor can fill. Some editors fix typographical errors, add facts and citations, or clean up the prose on existing articles; others create new articles on topics they find interesting. In Inside Wikipedia: How It Works and How You Can Be an Editor (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022), Thomas goes behind the familiar Wikipedia article page and looks at the unique brand of collaboration that is constantly at work to expand and improve this global resource. James Kates is a professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He has worked as an editor at The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other publications. Learn more about your ad choices.
