As the United States acclimates to the "flood the zone" governing style, reasoned discourse around civics has crumbled. https://youtu.be/ngx0GxJjmDM There are many causes. Polarizing media, bombastic claims, and systematized gas-lighting on both sides have created one of the most toxic political environments since the Vietnam War. However, the absence of civics and good citizenship concepts have laid the groundwork for the hysterics of today. LINDSEY CORMACK has a way forward. She is the author of the book "How to Raise a Citizen " https://www.amazon.com/How-Raise-Citizen-Why-Its-ebook/dp/B0DBWYTXJ4/ Outline: Why are Civics Important? Recent stats on the absence of civics Understanding structures Understanding the "why" of structures and civics Knowing what the Constitution says Knowing that the Constitution evolves too Understanding federalism Government funding mechanisms Communication- how to broach inflamed subjects How to raise the next generation What makes a good citizen?  Going beyond jury duty and voting Civics and Active participation Intersection with wealthy multi-generational families Joint decision-maling Believing in something greater than self Guardrails of ideals melded with open-mindedness and curiosity Right holder vs Duty bearer (Rights come with obligations) Justice vs compliance  Control vs grace Right and wrong in civics Contacting Lindsey Links: www.howtoraiseacitizen.com IG: @howtoraiseacitizen Lindsay discussing civics on Errol Louis' YOU DECIDE Podcast The Intersection of Civics, Money and Presidents Rights and Obligations with David Haass (Civics) Background LINDSEY is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Stevens Institute of Technology. She is the former Director of the Diplomacy Lab. She is the secretary of community board 8 in Manhattan and the co-chair of the Street Life Committee. Lindsey is the creator of DCInbox, a comprehensive digital archive of Congress-to-constituent e-newsletters.  Finally, she is also the author of Congress and U.S. Veterans: From the GI Bill to the VA Crisis. Frazer's interest in citizenship and civics: You may be wondering why a show about wealth management (and beyond) would be interested in citizenship and civics.   In a nutshell, I get asked three times a day what can be done to raise responsible kids.  Because families (and the answers to those questions) are different. The answers should come from within, I ask what they (the parents or grandparents what think it takes to be a "good citizen."  The answer to that question can then lead into the discussions I need to have about stewardship and a variety of other concepts. Additionally, good civics is good business. Businesses ignore the politics around them at their own peril. Board dynamics are also the intersection of civics, joint decision-making and constituent accountability for businesses. Executives have to be good at this. The values that make people successful are also the ones that people want to pass down to their kids Personally, politics and civics are ingrained in me.  I majored inhHistory and political science major in college. I worked in many NYS campaigns, the NYS Department of Economic Development, and ran the Republican Party in Bedford, NY for a year. More recently, I was on the board of my co-op for 7 years and president of the NYC Estate Planning Council. Civics and participation are a big part of my worldview. Transcript Frazer Rice (00:32.447) As we get acclimated to the new flood the zone component of politics, reason discourse has crumbled. And I think absence of civics in public life is the cause. Lindsay Cormack has a way forward and she's the author of How to Raise a Citizen. Welcome aboard, Lindsay. Lindsey Cormack (00:46.978) Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to talk with you today.

Mark Longo and Daniela Bittner, owners of beloved social media stars Peanut the squirrel and Fred the Raccoon, are suing New York State over their seizure and killing by authorities. Their attorney, Nora Constance Marino, joins the podcast today to tell us more about this case. In this podcast, Nora provides some background on what allegedly happened, possible missteps in how New York State and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation handled the issue, how the matter could've been easily resolved, where the case is now, and goals moving forward.

Transcript: Intro: Lindsey: Welcome to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute, where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world. I'm your host, Lindsey Busfield. While many personal injury lawyers exclusively represent car accidents and slip-and-fall cases, there is room in sub-practices to take on cases that stray from the traditional, advocating for justice beyond personal injury. Nora Marino has been actively working on a case that has taken social media by storm, the case of Peanut the squirrel. Marino joins us today to give us an update on the case and the constitutional issues surrounding it. Thank you so much for joining us today. Nora: Hi, my pleasure. Thank you. What happened to P'nut & Fred: Lindsey: So for listeners who haven't been closely following the Peanut case, can you give us some background and context on what happened? Nora: Sure. So my client, Mark Longo, and his wife, Daniella Bittner, originally it was Mark had rescued a squirrel when he was just a baby, literally a couple of inches long. His mother had been hit by a car in front of my client, and he rescued the baby, who would've clearly died had Mark not been there. And Mark ended up raising this squirrel, tried to release him, Peanut, and Peanut just did not do well out in the wild and wanted to be in the house. So Mark did what any compassionate person would do, I would hope, and provided shelter, food and a home for this animal. Him and his wife then actually opened up a sanctuary, where they now have 300 animals that are rescued animals that they are caring for, and they had a raccoon who had been delivered to them, a raccoon in need, an injured raccoon who they were caring for, and apparently the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation got word of Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon. Peanut actually was a social media sensation, so that's not surprising. But instead of handling this in a way that would've been reasonable, in my opinion, they handled it in a way that was very unreasonable. Technically, there are issues and questions about whether or not people can maintain, quote, "wild animals" in their residences and homes. We are really dissecting the law on that issue, when I say we, I mean my office, as to what constitutes a wild animal, what constitutes a companion animal. The law is always subject to interpretation, as we all know, how one person may read a statute, another person may read that statute differently, so there are going to be questions about that. But regardless of how the DEC interpreted those laws pertaining to wild animals versus companion animals, they went in and got a warrant to search Mark and Danielle's property, which they did, and in my opinion, it was a very unreasonable search. It was five hours. We don't know what information was provided to the judge who signed off on the warrant. We have made freedom of information requests to get that information, which so far have not been responded to. I'm assuming I'll get that information in discovery down the road,

GUEST OVERVIEW: Bobbie Anne Cox is a New York civil rights attorney, and a Fellow at the Brownstone Institute. She has been practicing law for 25 years. Formerly with a large, international law firm, Attorney Cox is now the principal at Cox Lawyers, PLLC. She has extensive experience suing government entities on behalf of her clients, and she is best known for her historic victory against New York Governor Kathy Hochul and the NYS Department of Health, striking down their unconstitutional "Isolation and Quarantine Procedures" regulation. In so doing, Attorney Cox has saved millions of New Yorkers from suffering the probable effects of illegal forced quarantines by a tyrannical State government that is truly out of control. Shamefully, Governor Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James appealed that decision. Attorney Cox is now bringing the case to the highest court in New York, the Court of Appeals, where she will fight to uphold her victory over unconstitutional forced quarantines and to preserve the sacred Separation of Powers doctrine that is the cornerstone of our society.

85% is the amount New York State has to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. One of the major pathways to this reduction will be the State's Cap-and-Invest program, which will cap and reduce emissions, auction off the right to emit, set up a trading system for those rights, and generate billions of dollars to be invested in energy transition and to offset costs of the transition for some residents. Doreen Harris, President and CEO of the NYS Energy Research and Development Authority, and Basil Seggos, Commissioner of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, joined CBC to discuss Cap-and-Invest, as well as offshore wind, energy transition and resiliency, the Environmental Bond Act, and much more.

With so much pain and suffering in the world, it is easy to get sucked into the void. Into the feelings of despair and hopelessness. And while I am not here to tell you to look away, to discredit this pain or push it down…I want all of us to remember there is always hope. There are always people who care, who are working towards a future where we are all supported, held and looked after. It is like what Mr. Rogers would say, “Look for the helpers.” In this case, the helpers come in the form of stateside legislation aimed at the fashion industry! The FABRIC Act, federal bill focused on brand's accountability and the Fashion Workers Act, a New York law that, if passed, would protect creatives and models by holding management companies accountable and creates specific protections for fashion's creative workforce.Show Notes:The FABRIC Act has 5 Pillars:Eliminate wage theft in US garment factories by enforcing minimum wage standardsCombat workplace violations with increased brand accountabilityIncreased brand/supply chain transparencyReshoring incentivized with tax creditsRevitalize the industry through a $40 million domestic garment manufacturing grant programThe Fashion Workers Act would require management companies and agencies to do the following:Accept responsibility to act in the best interests of their talentPay models and creatives within 45 days of completing a jobProvide models and creatives with copies of contracts and agreementsNotify former models and creatives if the management collects royalties from a talent they no longer representRegister and deposit a surety bond of $50,000 with the NYS Department of StateConduct a reasonable inquiry into health and safety on setDiscontinue bad practices such asCollecting signing fees or deposits from modelsCharging more than the daily fair market rate for accommodationDeducting any other fee or expense than the agreed-upon commissionRenewing the contract without the model or creative's affirmative consentImposing a commission fee greater than twenty percent of the model or creative's compensationForbid the management company from taking retaliatory action against any model or creative using the bill to file a complaintForbid the management company or client from engaging in discrimination or harassment of any kind against talent based on race, ethnicity, and other legally permissible categories under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amendedWe have to keep advocating for change, for our fellow humans and for each other! We have to continue to believe that changing the industry is possible because it has been done before and we can do it again! “That's just the way it is,” is no longer an acceptable answer.More Resources on the Fashion Workers Act:Stay informed and up to date with the Model Alliance Monitor the bill's progress  Hear the models speak for themselves More Resources on the FABRIC Act:Read my article on The FABRIC ActLearn how you can further your support of The FABRIC Act at RemakeMusic:Ian AeilloLogo:Meadow HearnCreative:Lauren Bates

A native New Yorker, Yesenia started the development of Young Risers in May 2013.  Working in NYC private schools for over eight years introduced her to the Reggio Approach.  This fostered the idea of opening a school that catered this learning experience to families in her community. She holds a Masters of Science in Special Education from Concordia College and is professionally certified in Early Childhood Education from the NYS Department of Education.Program Mission:At Young Risers children's learning is best inspired through thoughtful play and exploration. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment based on guidance and facilitation of our children's interests. We implement curriculums and materials in the classroom that expand and contextualize these ideas by keeping our children engaged in activities that encourage inspirational approaches and conversations.We follow an emergent curriculum deriving from the Reggio Approach. The Reggio Approach is an inevitable contribution to the child as a whole. The child is categorized as a respectful citizen in the community. As per Loris Malaguzi, the child holds 100 languages of learning, thinking and playing. Young Risers educators implement the approach by allowing the children the opportunity to play with materials and explore them in their own way. As educators, we must embrace the uniqueness of each individual child and nourish their developmental growth as a whole and within the community. We look for a common thread or theme that sparks interest in a group of children and evoke provocative areas in the classroom. https://youngrisers.com/

This week's episode closes out season one of the Cannabis Counselor. Aleece discusses Senator Cooney's bill (senate bill S7295), which is currently under review by the NYS Senate Rules Committee, that seeks to amend the cannabis law to require the board of the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) to establish an adult-use cultivator provisional license in New York State. The difficulty surrounding nominating, appointing, and confirming the candidates for the seven open positions in the OCM has caused delays in the issuance of adult-use cultivators' licenses. If OCM formation delays continue, Senator Cooney's bill would allow for the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets to take over to establish and issue provisional cultivators' licenses. This gives cultivators the opportunity to plant their seeds and harvest their crop, putting cannabis products on retail shelves sooner. The bill may be of particular interest to hemp cultivators because they already have the infrastructure in place to begin cultivating as soon as they have received a license. Tune in to hear more about the details of Senator Cooney's bill, and thank you for listening to the first season of the Cannabis Counselor.

In this episode, Jess and Jess sit down for a very honest and difficult conversation with Rebecca McWilliams and Wendy Freedman, both avid supporters and advocates as well as members of the Nicole Addimando Community Defense Committee. Together, they introduce Nikki Addimando, a mother of two, teacher, respected community member, and domestic violence survivor. In 2017, Nikki was forced to protect herself and her children's lives, by killing her abuser, Chris Grover. In February 2020, Nikki was sentenced to 19 years to life for the killing of her abuser, and the Community Defense Committee believes Nikki is a victim of the criminal justice system, and will not accept this result of Nikki protecting her own life, as well as that of her children's.It's not shocking that 67% of women sent to prison in 2005 for killing someone close to them were abused by the victim of their crime (NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision). Rebecca and Wendy share their expertise and advocacy work around not just Nikki's case, but also for every woman who is being held hostage by their abuser, and sees the only way out is to defend themselves in whatever manner possible. By raising awareness about Nikki and the horrific abuse she survived, the Committee aims to keep other victims of domestic violence from being criminalized by the courts, but more than that, they work tirelessly to continue advocating on behalf of Nikki, so that she may be justly returned home to live in safety with her two children. On April 22, 2021, Nicole Addimando will stand before a judge for her appeal hearing and the hope and prayer is that Nikki's sentence will be overturned. We Stand With Nikki and other criminalized survivors, that justice indeed will be served, and Nikki will no longer be criminalized for her right to survive, and that she will be rightfully returned to the arms of her two children, so that she may take her place as a pillar of strength and resilience in her community, once again.

This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy revisits the question of ‘what came first beer or bread?’ and dives deep into the history of milling. Joining him are guests, Lavada Nahon, a culinary historian and interpreter for African American history for NYS Department of Parks; Amy Halloran, flour ambassador and the author of The New Bread Basket; and Bryan Ford, of Artisan Bryan and the author of New World Sourdough. Starting with when settlers brought wheat, barley and rye from Europe and turned New York into a bread basket, Lavada helps paint a picture of early New Amsterdam and unearth a whitewashed history that has left out the critical role enslaved people played in the grain economy. Amy and Lavada talk about the types of bread recipes that were common at the time, while Bryan shares how he is learning to break the mold we have surrounding bread today, which still uses a European standard. Beer ListKCBC, Robot Fish Citra Smash In March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country.

They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them...They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people.

John Gaetani I want to thank all of those who supported me, helped me, and voted for me. I am very disappointed with the results of this election. It was a real learning experience. I know I was the best person for the Office of State Comptroller but when you don't have the financial resources to run a media driven campaign it is v...ery difficult to win. I will leave this FB page up for a little while longer.
