Dany Sigwalt, Executive Director at Power Shift Network, has spent much of her career moving between movement building and youth leadership development, working to marry the two into one cohesive strategic reality. She cut her organizing teeth providing solidarity childcare for housing rights advocates in DC, fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and with the Occupy DC movement. She joined Power Shift Network in 2016 as Operations Director and has been supporting the organization in exploring better distribution of leadership energy for long term sustainability ever since.She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:The reflection time during the pandemic supporting being more “thoughtful and intentional in our activism”The legacy of Black feminists in identifying language and providing analysis of the intersectionalities in systems causing harmThe growing collective consciousness in activism and the “willingness not to leave anybody behind in the work that we're doing”That “young folks have always been at the forefront of social movements”, understanding that they'll live the longest in whatever reality we build, while also having had “less time to be indoctrinated”The benefits of policies that have impacts across different issue areas, such as the Green New DealThe power-building of mutual aid, through developing relationships and local resiliency; reducing “the level of control that the normative economy has over our lives”.Connect with Dany SigwaltWebsite: powershift.org Facebook: facebook.com/powershiftnetworkTwitter: twitter.com/powershiftnetTwitter: twitter.com/danysiggyInstagram: instagram.com/power_shift Instagram: instagram.com/danysiggy Follow WCPGR on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhatCouldPossiblyGoRightPodcast​Twitter: https://twitter.com/buildresilience​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildresilienceLearn more: https://bit.ly/wcpgr-resSupport the show (https://www.resilience.org/what-could-possibly-go-right-podcast-vicki-robin/supportthepodcast/)

National File's Tom Pappert hosts this live Sunday edition of Election Countdown 2020 to break down the latest updates in the legal battle over election fraud as well as the historic Stop The Steal march in Washington DC, while China has been exposed as infiltrating the top echelons of Western corporations and governments.

America has a wellness problem. And just like the concept of wellness, the lack of it is layered. Wellness requires rest, clean water, movement, community, care, and nutrition—things that have become privileges, when they really should be rights. Access to nourishment of all kinds is vital for wellness, and today, on To The People, you’ll meet a few of our friends who are dedicating themselves to bringing wellness to their communities. Luis Mota volunteers with Alma Backyard Farms, a nonprofit that grows and distributes fresh, healthy foods in neighborhoods around Los Angeles and provides urban agriculture training to people who were formerly incarcerated. Then, you’ll hear from Aabi Abdun-Nafi, an organizer and yoga instructor who leads free yoga classes at Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC—and recorded a restorative yoga flow exclusively for Youth To The People. + Joe Cloyes, co-founder of YTTP, stops by to talk about skin health—and how it starts within. To The People Podcast is a production of YTTP Studios. Find us online at @youthtothepeople or youthtothepeople.com.

We take you now to the streets of Washington DC after dark, when Black Lives Matter Plaza comes alive in the midst of Trump's Republican National Convention speech at the White House and buzzes with action the nights after the Commitment March. This episode features interviews with protesters who have been active in DC from the beginning of the protests, at this point, for a consistent 90 days. They describe firsthand accounts with the police, some speak to their experience being kettled in a crowd others to the conditions after being arrested for marching. We record from a scene where smoke bombs were thrown at the crowd at 3:00 in the morning. Other interviews are held in the late evenings with people who have traveled in from out of town who give perspectives and comparisons to their home cities.

Occupy Wall Street never went away in spirit. In many ways, it set the stage for and is the inspiration of the current ANTIFA anarchist movement. Now Adbusters has a new project, a 50-day ‘siege’ of the White House in the run-up to the November 3 election.

  The Nazi Lies Podcast is an antidote to a neutral fascist studies. Fascist studies–the interdisciplinary exploration of the fascist phenomenon–has an unfortunate habit of looking at fascism in a historical and social vacuum. In the quest for objectivity, many scholars believe an exploration of fascism requires the shedding of all prior knowledge so as not to taint the investigation with our “moral biases.” For example, Roger Griffin, probably the most cited scholar today in studies on fascist ideology, had this to say in the preface to his edited volume International Fascism: Theories, Causes, and the New Consensus: The use of an abstract, detached language to analyze phenomena associated with fanaticism and violence should not be seen as callousness, however, but rather as a means to counteract and exorcise the appalling threat which they have posed in the twentieth century to Enlightenment humanism and its legacy of tolerance and respect for human rights. What this often ends up meaning in practice, however–particularly for those who focus on fascist ideology–is the proliferation of mere reconstructions and syntheses of existing fascist dogma without checking the claims and theories of fascists against actual evidence for fear of appearing biased. The outcome of this is an effective widening of the fascist literary canon, as fascists can say, ‘Every political theory has inspired mass violence but not every political theory is scientifically correct.' Fascism is not scientifically correct. On The Nazi Lies Podcast, I'm gonna talk to a variety of scholars, journalists, and other people with expertise about the things that fascists lie about. I expect it to be entertaining. Ridiculing fascist lies with people who actually know what they're talking about usually is. But I also want to inoculate people against fascist dogma, and maybe even turn some people away from it. A little about me. My name is Mike Isaacson. I first started learning about fascism through force of circumstance. I was taking a history of economic thought class in 2011 for my master's at Howard University in DC. The professor assigned a pretty wide open term paper. I was starting to see mainstream economics as the practice of using math problems as ill-fitting metaphors for a hagiography of markets, so the prospect of writing a history of that thought bored me. The professor himself was a communist, so I didn't want to elicit additional scrutiny by exploring Marxian economics. So I wrote my term paper about fascist economic theory. Fast forward a year and my Occupy DC friends and I stumble across an upcoming Aryan Nations march to the Capitol. We were aware of the existence of antifa organizations, but we chose to call our organization (which we thought would be temporary) Smash Racism DC, because in 2012 hardly anyone knew what fascism was, much less anti-fascism. We did some community outreach, put up some fliers, did some panels, knocked on doors, and managed to pull out about two to three hundred people against about fifteen to twenty nazis. The Aryan Nations planned to march from Lincoln Park to the Capitol and speak for two hours on the Capitol lawn. With sitdown blockades at every intersection, we slowed their march to a crawl. It ended up taking two hours to march what would have taken twenty to thirty minutes with their enormous police escort. Because of how loud we were, the Aryan Nations left the site of their speakout after about ten minutes because no one could hear them. Smash Racism DC existed for a couple years after that as mostly a social media presence. I used it in 2015 to organize a not-very-successful response to the National Policy Institute's conference on Halloween. In the wake of the Mother Emanuel church shooting, that year's conference blew attendance for their increasingly frequent conferences out of the water, with about 300 attendees, mostly under the age of 30. This would portend the eclipsing of politics by the fascist-centered alt-right during the 2016 election. In the wake of that election, Smash Racism DC was given new life as the mouthpiece for the newly formed DC Anti-Fascist Coalition. They would organize a large response to that year's NPI conference, disrupting their pre-conference dinner, and pulling out about three to four hundred community members to oppose the conference the following day. The DC Anti-Fascist Coalition would continue to mobilize DC's anti-fascists for years to come. Currently, I'm working on my doctorate in economics and history at the New School for Social Research. My research focuses on the development of 21st century neo-fascism–its ideologies, its institutions, its networks, and how it spreads. I don't get much of an opportunity in that research to get lost in the weeds of the absolutely bizarre things that some fascists earnestly believe. That's why I'm starting this podcast. We're gonna cover all sorts of nazi lies on this podcast. Is Hitler alive? Were the gas chambers fake? Is the earth hollow? It's gonna be a wild ride. We're gonna be launching on April 30th to celebrate Hitler's death, but in the meantime like us on Facebook @TheNSLiesPod and follow us on Twitter @NaziLies for updates. Also, I'm looking to pay my guests, and putting this podcast up online isn't free either. You can help out by sending your contributions either to paypal.me/NaziLies or via Cash App at $NaziLies. Patrons on our Patreon get access to exclusive pre-show banter clips and other perks. I'm also on the lookout for advertisers committed to the anti-fascist cause.

Dr. Richard Nolthenius has a background in thermal engineering and astronomy. He currently runs the Astronomy Program at Cabrillo College, Santa Cruz California. He also lecturers and has been a visiting researcher for UC Santa Cruz since 1987. He describes his professional transition in to climate science as “quite a shock, not necessarily a pleasant one”! Dr. Nolthenius suggests that Professor Tim Garrett’s work on linking global wealth and energy consumption has not been given the attention it deserves, Dr. Nolthenius also concludes that the only way to advert the increasingly critical climate change situation is in line with Prof. Garretts publications and therefore requires sharp, rapid cuts to our use of fossil fuels. To achieve this end Dr. Nolthenius has compiled a list of 7 Policy Mechanisms which he will discuss in Part one. These include: Tax and Dividend End government subsidies to fossil fuel companies Trade sanctions against all countries who do not enact Tax and Dividend or end fossil fuel subsidies. Devise an efficient mechanism to impose Tax/Dividend on all externalized costs. Tax consumption, not income. End Child Tax Credit, and promote policies which economically discourage population growth. Amend the Constitution. Dr. Nolthenius explains exactly what the above may involve, and discusses ideas for getting them implemented with a million person Occupy DC movement. In Part Two Dr. Nolthenius highlights potential technological ‘band aids’ (and their short falls) which could potentially be implemented alongside the Policy Mechanisms discussed in Part 1. These include: Energy technologies (PV, Wind, Hydroelectric, Geothermal and Nuclear). Carbon Capture and storage Artificial capture of CO2 from the atmosphere via ‘Air Capture’ Climeworks commercially operated Air Capture CO2 machine. BECCS – BioEnergy with Carbon Capture and Sequestration. Dr. Nolthenius also points out how even if we ended all our carbon emissions today, the effect of Thermal Inertia would still cause global temperatures to rise. Part 3 covers GeoEngineering including: Permafrost Carbon How do we choose? Solar Radiation Management ‘Butterflies’ Asteroids with dust secretion Reflective Aerosols Refreezing the Artic using pumped sea water. ‘Loan Shark’ methods that won’t work long term Why there is no ‘Magic Bullet’ Finally, in Part 3 Dr. Nolthenius takes some time to explain how economics is related to climate change, and why we need to stop our obsession with Growth.  The work of Prof. Tim Garrett / “The Garrett Relation” is expanded upon and discussed. Reference is made by Dr Noltheius to "E.C.S", although not covered in the series this stands for Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity. More information on this is available in Dr Noltheniuss presentation 'Earth Climate Change in One (very long) Lecture' available here: https://www.cabrillo.edu/~rnolthenius/Apowers/ClimateInOne.pptx  Many thanks to Dr Richard Nolthenius for joining me for this 3-part series, I hope I can discuss more issues with him in the future.
