President Trump's administration just sent a crystal-clear message to Iran: “No dust, no dollars.” In a major new stance, the Trump White House declared that the Islamic Republic will get zero sanctions relief, zero cash, and zero economic breathing room unless it completely surrenders its stockpile of highly enriched uranium — “nuclear dust.” This tough position comes as negotiations continue over reopening the Strait of Hormuz after recent conflict. While some Republicans expressed concerns about the pace of talks, Trump officials are making it clear: This will not be another weak Obama-style deal with pallets of cash flying to Tehran.

A federal judge just apologized in open court to Cole Allen — the man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump and his team at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui told the 31-year-old suspect he was “sorry” for the harsh conditions in D.C. jail, including suicide watch and solitary confinement. Allen, who allegedly showed up armed and fired shots at Secret Service, received an apology while many January 6 defendants have faced far worse for far less.

I think we're still waiting to see the explosion. I hope it comes this decade, it might not come till next decade, but something is going on.” –Shiva BaumAbout David Silver:David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Quick recap This meeting focused on election protection, renewable energy, and a discussion about Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. The participants discussed the upcoming No Kings, No Nukes, No War marches planned for Saturday, with expectations of millions of participants, and explored concerns about election integrity in various states including Arizona, California, Georgia, and Texas. Ron Leonard explained the growing popularity of balcony solar as a way for individuals to generate their own clean energy, while John Brakey and Ray McClendon shared concerns about potential election manipulation and voter suppression tactics. The conversation then shifted to a detailed discussion about Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, where Tatanka Bricca shared insights about the farm workers' movement and allegations against Chavez, suggesting that the movement itself should be celebrated rather than focusing on individual leaders. The meeting also touched on media concerns, with plans to discuss the state of CBS and other major media outlets in the second half. Next steps Ron Leonard: Provide contact information for purchasing solar panels to Sunny (and others) when they are ready to buy Christian Nunes: Post link to the Saving Our Cells Foundation webinar, flyer, and website in the chat Ray McClendon: Post contact information in the chat for people to get in touch regarding election protection in Georgia Micki Leader: Post election protection bills information in the chat for New York State Camilla Rees, John Steiner, and Sunny: Discuss reviving the US Grassroots.org election protection website John Brakey and Ken Bennett: Meet with Pima County Board of Supervisors tomorrow regarding election proof and AIB implementation John Brakey: Return next week with Ken Bennett to discuss election protection updates All interested parties: Participate in No Kings, No Nukes, No War marches this Saturday Sunny/organizers: Discuss what comes next after No Kings Day marches at next week's meeting Tatanka Bricca: Write up the story about Cesar Chavez's public confrontation All interested researchers: Utilize the archives being transferred to University of Santa Cruz for research on movement history Summary Election Protection and Renewable Initiatives The meeting focused on several topics, including election protection, media coverage, and renewable energy initiatives. Harvey Sunny Wasserman opened the call by discussing upcoming events, including the No Kings, No Nukes, No War marches and the importance of election protection in light of Trump's SAVE Act and potential Supreme Court decisions on mail-in voting. John Brakey was mentioned as a guest to discuss election protection in Arizona, and Tatanka Bricca was set to discuss news related to Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. The meeting also touched on the positive development of balcony solar, which is gaining endorsement in various states, and concluded with plans to discuss media coverage and the impact of Trump's attacks on reporters. Balcony Solar Installation Discussion Ron Leonard explained the concept of balcony solar, describing how small solar panels with inverters can be installed on balconies, garages, or even trash cans to provide electricity and reduce costs. Sunny shared his plans to implement this solution once California's Bill 868 passes, which would allow for easier installation of small solar panels. Myla provided updates on similar legislation passing in other states and discussed how distributed energy systems could make power grids less vulnerable to attacks. The discussion concluded with plans for an upcoming No Kings Day march on the 28th, which aims to draw millions of participants in a peaceful protest against nuclear power and war. Election Protection and Strike Planning The group discussed plans following upcoming "No Kings, No Nukes, No War" marches, with Ray McClendon noting the significance of Georgia's May 19th primaries where several key races are expected to be competitive. The discussion highlighted concerns about election protection, particularly in California where a Republican gubernatorial candidate has allegedly confiscated a million ballots in a jungle primary system. Myla suggested that unions are organizing a potential general strike for next May, while emphasizing the importance of protecting upcoming elections due to expected authoritarian tactics from those in power. The conversation also touched on the SAVE Act and concerns about billionaire funding in the November elections. Election Security and Protection Updates John discussed concerns about election security in Arizona, particularly following issues in Pima County and California's Riverside County, and mentioned an upcoming meeting with the Board of Supervisors to address these concerns. Christian Nunes announced the launch of her new nonprofit, Saving Our Cells Foundation, which aims to address gender-based violence and will host a virtual kickoff event on March 25th. Ray McClendon provided an update on election protection efforts in Georgia, highlighting concerns about potential vote intimidation and ongoing legislative efforts to restrict voting rights, while Charlie Lindahl shared information about election protection activities in Texas, including efforts by the Texas Democratic Party chair Kendall Scudder and initiatives like Beto O'Rourke's "We the People" program. Election Protection and Integrity Discussion The group discussed election protection and integrity issues, with Charlie encouraging people to volunteer as election officials and highlighting the importance of paper ballots over electronic machines. Micki shared insights from New York's Election Protection committee, noting that six bills addressing election issues are stuck in the Assembly due to lack of Democratic co-signers, and raised concerns about postal delays affecting ballot delivery. The discussion also covered the FBI's seizure of ballot information from Fulton County in 2020, which included sensitive voter data, and the broader issue of election information being targeted across multiple states. Impeachment and Infrastructure Discussion The discussion focused on impeachment procedures, with Steve Caruso advocating for a simplified approach without lengthy trials. Sunny clarified the constitutional requirements, explaining that impeachment by the House requires a majority vote, followed by a Senate trial where two-thirds majority is needed for removal. The conversation then shifted to infrastructure concerns, with Sunny expressing alarm about a recent Air Canada crash at LaGuardia Airport involving a fire truck on the runway, and criticizing the decision to have ICE agents handle airport screening. The conversation ended with plans to discuss Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and media topics in upcoming segments. Election Protection and Security Systems The meeting focused on election protection and included a discussion about John Brakey's invention of the Audible Ballot Examination (Abe) system, which uses paper ballots and aims to secure the vote record database. Tatanka Bricca, a long-time associate of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, addressed concerns about recent developments involving Huerta, emphasizing the importance of non-violence and resilience in the face of current challenges to democracy. The discussion highlighted the need for unity among leaders and communities to address ongoing issues related to election security and environmental activism. Government Infiltration of Farm Workers Tatanka shared insights about potential government infiltration of the Farm Workers Union, drawing parallels to COINTELPRO operations against other movements in the 1960s and 70s. He described specific incidents from the mid-1970s, including a $25,000 assassination attempt on Cesar Chavez funded by Nixon's administration and tensions within the union leadership. Tatanka explained how he experienced conflict with Chavez at a national meeting, but ultimately reached a resolution through direct conversation, which led to his inclusion in key negotiations with the United Farm Workers leadership. Cesar Chavez Revelations Discussion Tatanka discussed the recent revelations about Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, highlighting how Dolores had kept quiet about being raped by Chavez due to concerns about the movement's survival. Tatanka emphasized the need to understand this history and mentioned that true heroes include not only Chavez but also other organizers like Larry Itlyong and Pete Velasco. Lynn Feinerman suggested the timing of these revelations might be strategically linked to current events involving Epstein and Trump, while Tatanka noted that while the revelations are just beginning, there is a movement to use them to distract from holding powerful figures accountable. Farm Workers Movement Discussion The discussion focused on the farm workers' movement, with Myla sharing her experiences as a college volunteer in Delano during the grape strike from 1965-1966. Tatanka emphasized the importance of honoring the movement as a whole rather than individual leaders, highlighting how the first two martyrs of the movement were a Jewish girl and an Arab farm worker. The conversation also touched on COINTELPRO's disruption of social movements and the law of unintended consequences, with Sunny sharing how FBI infiltration of Liberation News Service ultimately led to the creation of a farm in western Massachusetts that became a focal point for the organic food movement. Media Landscape Evolution Discussion The discussion focused on the impact of Barry Weiss on CBS and the broader changes in media landscape. Dave Saltman explained the historical significance of CBS Radio and its role in shaping American culture, contrasting it with current media dynamics. The conversation explored the transition from corporate-owned media to more diffuse internet-based platforms, including podcasts, and considered the implications for organizations like Pacifica. There was no clear decision or action item outlined, but the discussion highlighted concerns about the current state of traditional media and potential opportunities in new media formats. Media Coverage and Political Developments The discussion focused on media coverage and local news reporting, with David sharing insights about CBS News's approach to local reporting and how Bloomberg has successfully expanded with over 800 bureaus worldwide. The conversation then shifted to current political developments, with Bryan discussing how Trump's recent actions may be connected to the Katie Johnson allegations, and Tatanka explaining how the Ukraine-Russia conflict benefits Putin. The conversation ended with discussions about independent research archives and upcoming anti-war demonstrations, with participants planning to continue these discussions in next week's meeting.

Quick recap This was the 259th Green Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Coalition Zoom call, focusing on current issues including the war in Iran, ICE activities in Minnesota, and election protection efforts. The meeting began with reports from Hedy Tripp and Jonathan Kent about ongoing ICE operations in Minneapolis, where agents have gone underground but continue targeting communities through tactics like posing as community members. Joel Rubin, former Assistant Secretary of State under Obama, provided analysis of the Iran conflict, explaining how Trump's decision to attack Iran may be connected to domestic political issues including the Epstein scandal. The discussion then shifted to election protection, with Andrea Miller sharing details about voter suppression efforts in Virginia and encouraging phone banking to support redistricting. The latter part of the meeting featured Dr. Paul Heroux presenting research linking electromagnetic fields from power systems and telecommunications to diabetes, explaining how electromagnetic radiation can interfere with metabolic processes and drug effectiveness. The call concluded with plans to discuss nuclear power issues, including the potential revival of the Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan.

Hedy Tripp and Jonathan Kent reported from Minneapolis, describing recent protests, the presence of ICE patrols, and the continued impact on local communities, including schools. The group discussed the presence of law enforcement, including park police and sheriff's deputies, and the use of drones for surveillance. There was also mention of potential future guests, including Nikima Levy Armstrong, a local civil rights advocate. The meeting emphasized the need for continued vigilance and community solidarity in the face of ongoing challenges. Surveillance and U.S.-Iran Relations Update Jonathan reported on changes in surveillance tactics in the Twin Cities, noting that while overt operations have decreased due to legal challenges, agents have become more strategic by hiring from within communities. Joel Rubin provided an analysis of U.S.-Iran relations, explaining how the current conflict evolved from the Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran, through Trump's withdrawal from the agreement and military actions, to the recent Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. Joel highlighted the humanitarian concerns and lack of clear end-state strategy following the military actions. Trump's Iran Attack Strategy Discussion Joel and Sunny discussed the timing and potential motivations behind Trump's decision to attack Iran, particularly in light of recent domestic issues and the potential influence of the Epstein case. Joel expressed skepticism about the popularity of the war and questioned whether it aligns with U.S. national security strategy, noting that the Middle East was not a priority in recent national security documents. They also touched on the challenges of addressing Iran's nuclear capabilities, including the enriched uranium that remains in the country and the potential risks involved in retrieving it. The conversation concluded with a brief exchange about pre-existing plans and international dynamics surrounding the conflict. Iran Missile Strike Discussion The group discussed the recent missile strike that killed schoolgirls in Iran, with Joel suggesting the target may have been outdated due to an nearby IRGC facility and expressing hope for a thorough investigation. Melissa Bird, a congressional candidate from Oregon, criticized the lack of rules of engagement in the conflict, arguing that Secretary Hegseth's removal of such rules would maximize civilian casualties. She also highlighted concerns about veterans' services and AIPAC's influence on congressional decisions. The discussion concluded with Melissa confirming that ICE will not be establishing a facility in Newport, Oregon. ICE Prevention and Election Strategies The group discussed efforts to prevent ICE from establishing facilities in Oregon, with Melissa reporting successful community pushback against proposed hotel accommodations. Lynn raised concerns about military indoctrination processes and described connections between U.S. and Israeli interests. The discussion then focused on election protection strategies for the upcoming November 26th election, with plans to update and revitalize the existing usgrassroots.org website to address potential voter disenfranchisement efforts, particularly affecting women and rural voters. The group also discussed recent developments regarding the Voting Rights Act and gerrymandering, noting that Republican attempts to manipulate district boundaries may be limited in their effectiveness. Political Discussion and Redistricting Sunny and Andrea discussed political topics, including potential presidential candidates and election-related issues. Andrea addressed Ruth's question about Trump's proposed SAVE Act, explaining that it would likely not pass constitutional muster due to federalism principles and states' control over election administration. The conversation then shifted to Virginia's redistricting efforts, where Andrea presented slides about the counter-campaign against proposed redistricting changes, highlighting the hypocrisy of opponents who claim the changes would silence Black voters while opposing the teaching of Black history in schools. Virginia Redistricting Vote Discussion Andrea discussed an upcoming Virginia redistricting vote on April 21st, where voters will decide whether to approve a new redistricting commission similar to California's system. She highlighted concerns about an opposing campaign led by a white person in Williamsburg that she felt was misusing Black history. The discussion included information about phone banking opportunities through the Center for Common Ground, with 45 days of early voting and 470,000 phone numbers in the database. The conversation then shifted to Anna's article connecting the No Kings Day (March 28th) with the No Nukes movement, particularly in relation to the 47th anniversary of the Three Mile Island accident. Diabetes and Electromagnetic Fields Research Dr. Paul Heroux presented research connecting type 2 diabetes with electromagnetic fields from power systems and telecommunications, explaining how non-thermal radiation can interfere with human metabolism and potentially affect the efficacy of medications like metformin. He described how electromagnetic fields can act as agonists of metformin, influencing electron traffic in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway and potentially impacting millions of people with diabetes, whether they take metformin or not. The discussion highlighted concerns about the proliferation of electromagnetic fields without adequate health studies and suggested reaching out to medical associations to raise awareness about this potential risk. Electromagnetic Frequencies and Diabetes Link Paul discussed the potential link between electromagnetic frequencies and diabetes rates, citing historical data on power consumption and diabetes trends in the United States following the 1973-1974 oil embargo. He explained that both low-frequency and radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation can have detrimental metabolic effects, including inhibiting mitochondria and affecting insulin binding. Paul suggested that mitigation strategies are possible for both electrical networks and radio frequency radiation, though significant changes would be needed in personal habits and industry practices to address the issue effectively. EMF Health Effects Discussion The meeting focused on the health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and their potential links to conditions like diabetes. Dr. Paul Heroux explained how EMF exposure, particularly affecting the hippocampus, could impact memory and intellectual performance, especially in school settings where children are exposed to Wi-Fi. Camilla highlighted the need for action against expanding EMF exposure, mentioning the 704 No More initiative and a new "Spring Clean Your Wireless" checklist to help reduce personal exposure. The discussion also touched on international differences in EMF safety standards, with Russia having significantly lower limits than the United States. Palisades Nuclear Plant Restart Plans Kevin Kamps discussed the ongoing efforts to restart the Palisades nuclear power plant, highlighting safety concerns and delays. He explained that Holtec International, the plant's current owner, has proposed restarting the 60-year-old reactor and building two new ones on the same site, despite multiple safety issues including problems with the reactor vessel closure head. Kevin also mentioned that Holtec has proposed rebuilding Indian Point Units 2 and 3, emphasizing the risks associated with these plans. Sunny emphasized the high costs and potential alternatives like wind power, which could provide more affordable and safer energy solutions. Nuclear Power and Wind Energy The meeting focused on nuclear power issues, particularly the potential closure of Palisades nuclear plant and offshore wind energy alternatives. Kevin discussed a study by former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm showing over 300,000 megawatts of wind power potential in the Great Lakes, which could provide cleaner energy at lower cost than reactor upgrades. Karl highlighted ongoing efforts to reactivate Indian Point nuclear plants in New York despite safety concerns, while Anna suggested organizing against nuclear power through peace marches and educational campaigns. The group also discussed the connection between nuclear facilities and data centers, with Vina raising concerns about the potential for nuclear plants to power data centers that could be targets in future conflicts.

Then I think about sentient beings who want happiness, but experience suffering. I generate compassion for them, determined to help them as much as I can to eliminate their negative emotions.” –The Dalai LamaAbout David Silver:David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries.“‘Be Here Now' is not only Ram Dass's precept of just be in the present, it's saying, ‘Be here now, and you're everywhere. Be here now, and you're in wisdom.' If you're not here now, you're veering away from wisdom.” — David SilverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Quick recap The meeting focused on two major topics: voting rights and nuclear power. The discussion began with concerns about ICE's presence at polling places and the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration. The group then explored the dangers of reopening aging nuclear power plants, particularly Palisades in Michigan, where Holtec International faces significant challenges in meeting safety standards and documentation requirements. The conversation highlighted how both Democratic and Republican leaders are supporting nuclear power despite its cost and safety issues, with Trump personally taking control of nuclear regulations. The conversation ended with concerns about California's Democratic Party platform, which removed environmental protections and nuclear power restrictions, and the need for a renewed focus on solar and wind energy over nuclear power. Next steps Hedy Tripp: Persuade Minneapolis training organizers to consider putting their in-person ICE resistance training sessions on the internet (e.g., Zoom, Instagram) for broader access, as requested by Sunny. Andrea Miller: Share the link to the Virginia redistricting presentation in the chat and host the presentation on Thursday night as announced. Ellen Slavick: Put the link to the "Atomic Dragons by Swans" art exhibition at Pitzer College in the chat (confirmed done during meeting). Vina Colley: Connect with Ellen Slavick (and her husband) regarding radiation exposure assessment work and share relevant links or information as requested. Dorothy Reik and Susie Shannon: Reach out to the new Environmental Caucus chair (Sam) to educate him on the facts about nuclear energy and work to reintroduce anti-nuclear language into the California Democratic Party platform. Roger Rapoport, Susan Shapiro, Karl Grossman, and Sunny: Collaborate on writing and publicizing the findings about Holtec/Palisades and the lack of documentation, targeting both public education and the financial/investor community. Team: Organize and promote participation in the No King's Day march (March 28th) and link nuclear safety concerns to Donald Trump's role in nuclear regulation for public education. Team: Attempt to contact Joe Rogan (and/or Stuart Brand) to engage in public discussion/debate on nuclear issues, as suggested by David Saltman. Vina Colley: Work with Veterans for Peace, Chris Busby, and Paul Mobley to develop and share materials calculating radiation exposure for affected communities. Team: Revisit and discuss Don Mosier's research on low-dose radiation and breast cancer in a future meeting, as suggested by Myla. Karl Grossman: Publish and distribute the article on New York's nuclear push and the climate change misinformation to national outlets after Long Island distribution. Team: Focus public education efforts on the true emissions and climate impact of nuclear energy, as highlighted by Susan Shapiro and Karl Grossman. Summary Team Meeting and Event Planning The meeting began with greetings and technical adjustments, including addressing audio issues for Myla. Gree-Gree and Harvey discussed editing a video, which caused some frustration. The group briefly touched on current events, such as the Texas gubernatorial race and a power outage at a nuclear plant in Delaware. Hedy shared her experience attending a conference in Southern California. As the conversation ended, participants prepared for an upcoming event, with Sunny and others discussing logistics and welcoming attendees. Election and Nuclear Power Concerns The meeting focused on two main topics: election protection and nuclear power issues. The group discussed concerns about ICE presence at polling stations in 2026 and Trump's efforts to eliminate voting by mail. They also addressed the situation in Minneapolis, where Hedy Tripp reported on weekly rallies and a planned week-long training session for resistance activities. The second hour of the meeting will cover nuclear power issues, including the restart of the reactor at Three Mile Island and the Palisades nuclear plant situation. Vote-by-Mail and ICE Election Impact Melissa Bird, a candidate for Congress in Oregon's 4th Congressional District, discussed concerns about vote-by-mail processes and the potential impact of ICE presence on elections. She emphasized the importance of early voting and ensuring ballots are sent directly to county election offices due to changes in postal rules and the presence of ICE in Oregon. Andrea Miller, an expert on voting in the Southeast, expressed concerns about the reliability of vote-by-mail systems and recommended in-person early voting where possible. Melissa also announced endorsements from Progressive Victory and the Working Families Party of Oregon, adding to her growing support. SAVE Act Senate Passage Uncertainty Andrea discussed the passage of the SAVE Act in the House and its challenges in the Senate, highlighting concerns about proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration, which disproportionately affect women, rural residents, and people in poverty. Melissa emphasized the bill's impact on marginalized communities and criticized it as an overreach of federal authority in managing elections. Sunny inquired about the likelihood of the bill passing the Senate, and Andrea noted the uncertainty but expressed skepticism about Democrats supporting it, given potential legal challenges and opposition from both Democratic and Republican states. ICE's Impact on Voting Rights The meeting focused on discussions about ICE's presence in various states and its potential impact on voting rights. Participants expressed concerns about ICE's role in communities, particularly in low-income and minority areas, and discussed legislative efforts to restrict ICE activities. The group also touched on recent FBI raids on voting centers in Georgia and the need for stronger enforcement mechanisms to protect voting rights. Paul Johnson raised concerns about government subsidies for AI farms, and the conversation ended with a brief discussion about voting issues in California and the need for effective pushback against voter suppression efforts. Election Integrity and Voting Rights The group discussed voting rights and election integrity, with Lynn Feinerman sharing progress in Marin County where the county executive has removed ICE cooperation funding from the budget. Susie Shannon emphasized that once voters are prevented from casting their ballot on Election Day, there is no remedy for individual voters, while Paul Newman highlighted the need to address private prisons and their role in the criminal justice system. The conversation ended with Andrea Miller announcing her upcoming discussion on Virginia redistricting and warning about new election legislation that would require proof of citizenship and residence for voting. Voter Rights and Energy Concerns The group discussed voter suppression efforts and the importance of protecting and turning out the vote in upcoming elections. They highlighted the need for on-the-ground solutions to combat voter intimidation and the challenges faced by certain demographics in accessing polling places. The conversation then shifted to energy issues, including the transition to sodium-based batteries and the dangers of Donald Trump's regulation of nuclear power plants. The conversation ended with a brief mention of an upcoming art exhibit at Pitzer College. Palisades Nuclear Plant Restart Challenges The meeting focused on the challenges and risks associated with the Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan, which has been shut down due to safety and economic issues. Roger Rapoport explained that Holtec International, the plant's owner, has faced significant delays and financial challenges in attempting to restart the plant, with estimated costs of up to $1.25 billion for repairs and further delays of up to five years. The discussion highlighted broader concerns about the nuclear industry, including the lack of economic rationale for nuclear power compared to renewables, the safety risks associated with nuclear plants, and the influence of political leaders and the energy industry in promoting nuclear energy despite these challenges. The group also discussed similar issues at other nuclear plants, such as Indian Point in New York, and emphasized the need for independent regulation and transparency in the nuclear industry. Exploring Solar vs Nuclear Energy The group discussed nuclear power policies, with Susie Shannon explaining that the California Democratic Party's platform was weakened by removing protections for underserved communities and environmental measures, including nuclear energy safety provisions. They explored the possibility of shifting focus to solar energy as a more viable alternative to nuclear power, noting that solar technology has become significantly more cost-effective than nuclear. Ellen Slavick shared information about her husband's work on a UN radiation study that concluded there is no safe threshold for nuclear exposure, and mentioned an upcoming art exhibition at Pitzer College featuring work by seven women artists related to nuclear issues. Nuclear Safety and Regulatory Concerns The group discussed concerns about nuclear power plants, including inadequate record-keeping, missing welding documents, and the risks of accidents. They highlighted the need to address these issues, with David suggesting buying shares in companies like Holtec to influence decisions. The conversation also touched on the lack of regulation under Trump's administration and the potential for accidents, with Karl noting that extending the life of old plants is "asking for a catastrophe." The group agreed that they are now in "25th Amendment territory" due to these risks and the need to convince policymakers to change course. Nuclear Industry's Public Perception The group discussed the nuclear industry's financial viability and public perception, with Susan Shapiro emphasizing the need to educate the public about nuclear power's emissions and carbon footprint. They agreed to link nuclear safety to Donald Trump and planned to participate in the "No Kings, No Nukes" march on March 28th, aiming to draw 10 million people. The group also discussed attacking Joe Rogan's promotion of nuclear power and connecting with the solar industry to highlight nuclear's cost issues. Vina mentioned working with Veterans for Peace to calculate radiation exposure levels, and Tatanka shared information about a 50-year energy plan by big oil companies to control the world's energy supply.

The episode provides a detailed account of rapidly escalating tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States, marked by strong public statements and military posturing. Former President Donald Trump has declared a firm stance against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, repeatedly stating that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon” and emphasizing that the U.S. does not seek a long-term war, but will act decisively if necessary. Trump has reportedly approved attack plans involving U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, with Israel already initiating strikes. The Ayatollah of Iran has gone into hiding, while Iranian proxies threaten retaliation against American interests. Trump, working closely with military leadership and allies such as Pakistan, has indicated that a military response is imminent unless Iran surrenders its nuclear program within 48 hours. Amid rising tensions, Iranian leaders remain defiant, warning of catastrophic consequences if the U.S. joins the conflict. Meanwhile, bipartisan political voices, including Democrat Senator John Fetterman, have expressed support for direct action against Iran’s leadership. Public opinion appears to back Trump’s position overwhelmingly, with polls showing high support across party lines for preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons—even if it involves military strikes. The report concludes by noting that support within the Republican base remains strong and unified, despite claims of internal division. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
