Send us a textIn this powerful episode, Dr. Juan Pablo Galindo sits down with Dr. Nicholas Powers, author of Black Psychedelic Revolution: From Trauma to Liberation, to discuss the often-overlooked relationship between psychedelics and the Black community. Dr. Powers unpacks the historical erasure of Black and Indigenous psychedelic traditions, the intersection of systemic oppression and the War on Drugs, and the radical potential of psychedelics as tools for personal and collective healing.Together, they explore how psychedelic therapy can address intergenerational trauma, reconnect communities with their ancestral traditions, and challenge the structures that have historically marginalized Black and Brown people from these healing modalities. From historical injustices to visions of liberation, this conversation offers deep insight into how psychedelics could play a role in reshaping society and fostering true interconnectedness.Come visit our website for more information: Innerbloom

The inauguration of Donald Trump on the same day as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday highlights the fact that we are witnessing and living through a significant clash of opposing visions. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “MLK's Legacy Is One of Class Struggle. To Fight Trump, We Must Carry His Torch.” by Nicholas Powers in Truthout, which explores and outlines how Project 2025 and this new administration are working to impose state-sanctioned discrimination and inequality in every aspect of our society, and how that stands in direct opposition to the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.

We bring on Indypendent Contributing Editor Nicholas Powers and take call-ins from listeners who share how they feel about the Trump's second presidential term.
Nicholas Powers fields listener call-ins about Kamala Harris' crushing defeat
LaMont Hopewell joins John Tarleton to discuss striking Amazon workers in Maspeth, Staten Island and across the country and Indy contributor Nicholas Powers fields listener call-ins about Kamala Harris' crushing defeat
This week, co-hosts John Tarleton and Ariana Orozco are busy working on the final edits for this month's issue of The Indypendent. Instead of a live show, enjoy some of our favorite interviews from the past few months including a conversation with contributing writer Nicholas Powers about the power of revolutionary cinema, a journalist who specializes in unconvering AI's impact in governmental elections, and finally two activists who say all the revolution needs is a little attention!
This episode of The Indypendent News Hour features guests Russell Brandom discussing emerging AI technology and its impact on politics and culture, Heidi Schlumph on why the Catholic vote is split, and Nicholas Powers on Kamala's path to the White House.
The Indypendent's Nicholas Powers talks about why he thinks Kamala Harris can win big in November and what she will need to do to navigate the stereotypes of Black women July 24.
Indypendent writer Nicholas Powers explains how protests have developed to confront imperialist colonial projects like that in Israel-Palestine.
We spoke with Indy Contributing Editor Nicholas Powers about what makes The Battle of Algiers such a unique movie, the burgeoning encampment movement on college campuses and more.
John Tarleton and Nicholas Powers of The Indypendent talk about the New Hampshire primary and what it means that Joe Biden and Donald Trump are both on the verge of locking up their party's nominations and pivoting to a general election contest that most Americans say they do not want to see.
We are joined by long time Indypendent columnist and Contributing Editor Nicholas Powers. Nick is currently working on his fourth book. It explores the intersection of psychedelics, race and systems of power and it asks where psychedelics would fit in a socialist revolution. Nick is also preparing to leave in a few days for Burning Man, the annual late summer counter-cultural extravaganza held every year in the Nevada desert. The festival draws upwards of 80,000 people. Nick has been attending Burning Man for the past 20 years. He fills all of us non-Berners in on what all the hype is about.
We spent the full hour with Nicholas Powers about his cover story on Black Love and its transformative impact on American history. Nicholas is a professor of African-American literature at the State University of New York. Our discussion draws on his knowledge of Black history, the Black literary canon and his own experience of becoming a parent for the first time and raising his son as a single Black father.
We get the latest on the battle to stop Gov. Hochul's Hector LaSalle nomination to NY Court of Appeals from Peter Martin of the Center for Community Alternatives. We also speak with Nicholas Powers about his radical Nuyorican mother and an article he wrote about her in the current issue of The Indypendent.
We speak with The Indy's Nicholas Powers' beautiful essay in our December-January print edition about his mother who passed away last year. She was a radical Nuyorican activist and a child of the '60s generation. "She was born in 1948, in a Puerto Rican Brooklyn enclave and turned 20 in 1968, the peak of anti-Vietnam War protests, the hippie movement, the Young Lords and Black Panther rebellions. All the marches and slogans scooped my mother like a giant wave and lifted her out of the neighborhood, out of the family, and flung her into America," writes Powers.
"Last time I sang the national anthem, I was on ecstasy." (Powers, 2018, maps.org (https://maps.org/news/bulletin/black-masks-rainbow-bodies-psychedelics-and-race/)) Nicholas Powers, PhD, is a writer. His no-BS approach to humanitarian literature has caught the eyes of Wall Street Journal, Truth Out, and The Independent. Tune in for a bold conversation on how a future on psychedelics might look. https://indypendent.org/authors/nicholas-powers/ Powers, N. June 15, 2018. "Black Masks, Rainbow Bodies: Psychedelics and Race." [Maps.org.](https://maps.org/news/bulletin/black-masks-rainbow-bodies-psychedelics-and-race/) https://truthout.org/authors/nicholas-powers/ https://www.naropa.edu/event/psychedelic-alchemy/ Psychedelic Alchemy guest speaker Nicholas Powers, PhD, believes that psychedelics must leave the lab and therapy office to give humanity a chance to reimagine itself, and challenge our current path of self-destruction. Remarkably, personal therapy mirrors what happens in social movements: wounded souls return to their real selves, real bodies often discarding former identities like old skin. But according to Powers, we must go beyond healing the individual to healing our history and collective trauma.
Indypendent Contributing Editor Nicholas Powers talks about his new novel, the resurgence in interest in psychedelics (which he has always been a champion of) and why men should be speaking out just as loudly for a women's right to choose.
My guest for this Live Episode will be Nicholas Powers, author of The Ground Below Zero: 9/11 to Burning Man, New Orleans to Darfur, Haiti to Occupy Wall Street. He is a poet and an associate professor of English at SUNY Old Westbury with writings in Truth-Out, HuffPost, Alternet and The Indypendent. Nicholas recently published the essay “Can Psychedelic Masculinity Stop War?”, a poignant weaving of numerous threads I have explored here on The Mythic Masculine podcast. He weaves myth, psychedelics, culture theory, and more - I knew I had to reach out and make contact.

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I'm Glen Ford, along with my co-host Nellie Bailey. Coming up: Can a Black-Native American alliance bring the white supremacist, conquistador state to an end? An author and educator thinks so. Another writer believes that the climate crisis will create the political conditions that will defeat white supremacy. We'll hear his theory, as well. And, political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal provides a lesson on the roots of the prison abolition movement. Blacks have been voting overwhelmingly Democratic for more than two generations. For much of that period, the actual Black economic condition has deteriorated, relative to whites. But Joe Biden is running for president as if the past was great for Black people. We spoke with Malaika Jabali, a public policy attorney, writer, and activist, based in Brooklyn, New York. Jabali says the establishment Democrats are working on the wrong assumptions. Scholars have written quite a bit about alliances between Blacks and Native Americans, resisting European conquest and enslavement in the Americas. But Tiffany King, an Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Georgia State University, has written a book that argues that Blacks and Native Americans still pose a threat to what she calls “the conquistador white settler nation.” Tiffany King's book is titled, “The Black Shoals: Offshore Formations of Black and Native Studies.” Climate change threatens to make much of life on Earth extinct, including human life. But educator and journalist Nicholas Powers thinks some good can come out of the mobilization to fight climate change. Powers is author of the book, “The Ground Below Zero: 9/11 to Burning Man, New Orleans to Darfur, Haiti to Occupy Wall Street.” Powers is also an associate professor of English at the State University of New York at Old Westbury. In a recent article for Truthout, Powers surmised that the climate crisis may create the political conditions to finally defeat white supremacy. Mumia Abu Jamal, the nation's best known political prisoner, presents this report on the roots of the current prison abolition movement.

How did we get to a place in American history where angry, white, conservative men would shrug off an F.B.I.’s report on Russian cyber-attacks in the 2016 election? Russian agents are villains in Hollywood films from Red Dawn to Rocky 4 to Miracle. They should know better. They don’t because they are reacting to their cultural impotence.

Download Nicholas Powers Ph.D. is a poet, journalist, and Associate Professor of English, SUNY Old Westbury. Nick joins us to talk about psychedelics, race, cultural diversity, and the future of psychedelics. Race and diversity within the psychedelic community has been a hot topic lately, and it is an important topic to continue discussing and examining.
