The Trump Regime has started to new line of attack against Michigan universities and colleges: By forcing foreign students to leave via threats of deportation. The Regime is also issuing similar threats to foreign students across the country in an effort, they say, to remove those who are a risk to America.  But what this is really about is pleasing the anti-immigrant and anti-science MAGA Republican base, draining universities of much-needed federal funding, and removing the free speech rights of noncitizens. And after they are successful at stamping-out free speech rights for noncitizens, they'll go after American citizens for criticism them.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES:  "More foreign students in Michigan targeted for deportation, including 22 at U-M."

This episode of Musing on Wellbeing examines the intersection of well-being, sustainability, and activism. Our choices as consumers shape the world around us, but how can we ensure those choices align with our values? From ethical labor practices to climate solutions, understanding the impact of our actions is key to creating a healthier planet and a more just society. Host Charlie Bresler is joined by Dara O'Rourke, an activist, academic, and sustainability expert. Dara shares his journey from growing up in Pullman, Washington, to becoming a professor at UC Berkeley, where he has spent decades researching global supply chains and labor practices.  Dara's groundbreaking work exposing Nike's labor conditions in Vietnam led to greater corporate accountability, and his creation of the Good Guide empowered consumers to make informed choices. In this conversation, Dara unpacks the biggest challenges in sustainability today, the crucial role consumer behavior plays in driving change, and why hope and activism must go hand in hand. He also introduces the exciting Master of Climate Solutions program at UC Berkeley, designed to equip the next generation of leaders with the tools to combat climate change.  Tune in to gain insights on how you can be part of the solution.

Just maybe a fractional e CTO - shared by two or more CUs - or a temporary exec is exactly the cure.Enter Bonnie Ortiz,  CEO of O2 and longtime COO at the Partnership Credit Union, She's worked inside at credit unions  - she knows the terrain - but now she also has assembled a team of seasoned credit union talents who are available for fractional and temporary roles at credit unions, to help solve anything from tech issues to compliance matters.It's a fact: credit union operations have become increasingly complex. The day of the shoebox credit union is long gone.  Real talent is needed but that talent may be too  costly for a smaller CU.  The O2 solution is  a potential lifesaver.Also on the show is David Martinez, CIO at $500 million  Arlington Federal Credit Union, a credit union that  has used O2 talent many times.  Martinez is a happy customer.He's also a past guest on this show.

Welcome to the new season of Musings. As you've likely noticed from the artwork, Musings is taking a new direction — we're broadening our horizons to consider the idea of "wellbeing" as a whole. What does it mean to be truly "well," physically, mentally, and emotionally?  In this first episode, Charlie Bresler swaps his host chair for the guest chair, and long-time friend and colleague Stacey Black is asking the questions.  Stacey and Charlie discuss the new direction for Musings — the idea of pursuing wellbeing as a whole — and how what Charlie has termed "effective hedonism" plays into his sense of wellness. Also self-confidence, self-efficacy, ideals, pleasure, and conscience all can have roles to play in our ultimate sense of wellbeing.

Host Note: This was recorded about 3/4 of the way through 2024, and eventually I did meet and surpass my goal of meeting 365 new people last year! I hope to do it again in 2025, choosing life (breaking the ice with new people) over comfort (keeping to myself) in small ways day by day.

Good friend of the show Laura-Lee Petty returns for the first time in over a year (www.https://luminouslivingwithlauralee.com/) and she has plenty to discuss.From the state of collective consciousness to the power of our language and words. To the mysterious drones over the United States northeast and allegedly elsewhere. Plus she treats us to a card pull for the collective energy of 2025...and it may surprise you. What may or may not be going on in the skies right now is likely a desperate power-play from a dying regime.

Jean Carrol civil trial case , ABC joins the rest of the corporate media's plans to normalize Trump as much as possible.  However, the corporate media's collective bending of the knee to Trump should come as no surprise to anyone.  The corporate media needs Trump in the White House, and Trump needs the corporate media.

The reaction to the murder of United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson exposed the collective anger shared by millions of Americans when it comes to the health care industry.  And while progressives never believe murder is the answer to fixing America's problems, this murder also revealed another tragedy for millions of Americans.  That tragedy is that Donald Trump and the Republican Party will not lift one finger to limit the greed of the for-profit, and failed, private health care industry.  Another tragedy is that D.C. Democrats don't want to lift a finger to place more power into the peoples' hands.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES:  "Mitch Albom: Death of health care CEO unleashes a sad fury of frustration."

#Podcast #Politics #Michigan #Abortion #AbortionRights #AbortionCare #WomensRights #HealthCare #Economy Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for December 2, 2024. A new state report shows abortions in Michigan neared a 30-year high in 2023. However, the report shows non-residents accounted for more of the state's abortions than they did in the previous year or years. As predicted, women from non-freedom states, like Indiana and elsewhere, are traveling to Michigan to receive abortion care, thanks to Michigan's voter-approved abortion rights initiative in 2022 which enshrined abortion rights in the state's constitution. But because of this past election, Republicans are feeling more emboldened than ever, and they will do what they can to make abortion access more difficult.
