More than 50 business leaders have signed an open letter to politicians, asking them to keep their hands off private businesses. The New Zealand Initiative is behind the letter, asking parties to withdraw some of their policies and uphold private property and contract rights. It comes off the back of proposals to sell off or separate supermarket assets, and buy back the Australian-owned BNZ. New Zealand Initiative executive director, Oliver Hartwich spoke to Lisa Owen.

51 business leaders from across New Zealand have signed an open letter urging political parties to scrap election promises that impact their interests. The open letter was organised by the New Zealand Initiative, and it's critical of election policies proposed by National, Labour, the Greens and New Zealand First. Federated Farmers president Colin Hurst is among the leaders to put his name to the letter and he's voiced opposition to a 'heavy-handed' Government that impacts - or breaks up - businesses. "We need certainty as a country. This will affect people and businesses investing in New Zealand." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fifty-one business leaders have signed an open letter from business think tank the New Zealand Initiative urging political parties to drop interventionist policies. It responds to campaign proposals to structurally reform the grocery sector. National and New Zealand First propose splitting Foodstuffs. Labour wants grocery brands split into separate retail and wholesale arms, and the Greens want to establish a government owned grocery store. Initiative Executive Director Oliver Hartwich told Ryan Bridge parties shouldn't entertain policies that completely go against the economic constitution of the country.

What do I want my daughter (and yours) to know before she leaves home and becomes an adult? A LOT. In this episode, I'm sharing an open letter to young women heading into college and adulthood. We're talking about self worth, dating, boundaries, friendships, faith, social media, sex, mistakes, and learning to trust yourself. There are so many voices telling young women who to be and how to live. My hope is that this letter reminds them that they don't have to earn their worth, follow every piece of advice they're given, or settle for relationships that make them feel small. You are going to make mistakes. You are going to lose people. You are going to figure things out as you go. And you are still completely lovable, worthy, and good. To better understand, embrace and implement what I teach, book a free Discover Your Disconnection Pattern call with me.

Buller residents are rallying behind the district's biggest employer - Bathurst Resources. The mine company is seeking fast-track approval to expand the Stockton site, warning operations could otherwise stop by March - gutting over 200 jobs. An open letter in support has attracted 3,000 signatures - about a quarter of the district's adults. Organiser of the petition, Jessie Creedmore, says without strong local support, there's a risk the application could be declined. "As I understand, the fast-track process is very rigorous - I think that people that think that a fast track is a rubber-stamping exercise, that's not correct."

The Big Bark News & Media show S06 E03 - Stolen: The Abduction of Mouse & Rupert and Ireland's Pet Theft CrisisIn Ireland, if someone steals your dog, the law treats it no differently than a stolen lawnmower, a bicycle, or a television set. It's an outdated system that leaves grieving families without justice while organized criminal gangs target rural communities with impunity.On this episode of The Big Bark News & Media Show, we speak with Maria Costello from County Tipperary. In January, Maria's world was turned upside down when her two cherished dogs, Mouse and Rupert, were abducted from her home into a van. Maria opens up about the crushing emotional toll, her relentless fight to get Gardaí to act after sending over 40 emails, and the latest critical development as a file is officially referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).We also break down the official Open Letter that BBNM issued to the Minister for Justice today. From the reclassification of companion animals as sentient beings on the Garda PULSE system to the shocking, brazen attempted abductions happening on quiet country roads, we outline the exact questions we are putting to the Department of Justice and why immediate legislative change is long overdue.Read our full Open Letter to the Minister for Justice now at bbnm.ie.If you've been affected by pet theft or have information regarding missing pets in your area, report it through the Missing Paws App at bbnm.ie.

Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe react to Adrian Hanauer's open letter to Sounders supporters, breaking down what the majority owner actually said, what he chose to leave out, and whether the messaging matches the moment for a fan base that has watched the season slip away. Lobbing Scorchers digs into whether the Sounders will actually add another reinforcement before the window closes. New signing Dejan Joveljić could give the attack the presence it has been missing, but with midfield questions still unresolved and injury risk piling up across the roster, is one striker really enough to salvage the playoff push? Ari and Noah round out the show with the results of a Lobbing Scorchers supporter poll, getting into who actually filled it out, why supporters still stand behind Brian Schmetzer despite the results, the growing criticism of Sounders spending, and the worsening sentiment across the fan base.Subscribe to the NEW Lobbing Scorchers Blog: www.lobbingscorchers.comFollow Lobbing Scorchers:YouTubeInstagramBlueskyTikTokFacebookAri LiljenwallNoah RiffeSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

So enjoy the full episode for free!Our argument is not a new one: that western intellectuals who purport to be anti-imperialist often do the work of imperialism by bothsidesing human rights abuses and war crimes, thereby manufacturing consent or at least fostering an information atmosphere of moral confusion so people find it challenging to pick a side. This directly aids and abets both Imperialism and the War State. Enjoy!

Father Anthony with Tony and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father greets everyone and mentions a few articles he's come across, relevant to today, that he may review and discuss during the show.  Father leads us in prayer and afterwards turns to Bishop Mutsaerts' Open Letter to Leo XIV on synodality, which was published in The Catholic Herald (August 14, 2026).  Father Anthony reads from the letter and with the group adds commentary and discussion highlighting the key points made that are critical in the dialogue in today's time.  After the final break, Father wraps up the show with the gospel from this coming Sunday as it connects it to the open letter, emphasizing what we need to take away from it all; lead Christian lives and uphold the Catholic Church.  The letter can be found at The Catholic Herald at their website.   St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish  https://thecatholicherald.com/

Dear Tamice, Malynda, Kristian and Ciarra — This is the 1st draft of this letter. That is mostly a note to self, because I keep thinking of the stutter in terms of one I started to write on April 7th of this year. Similar in tone but to someone completely different. Someone we all know, and anyway, I never finished that letter. I thought this would be a continuation, a spinoff of that, but reading that other draft of that other letter? Ugh. Not only was it for someone I don't speak to anymore, it was from someone I don't speak as anymore. Honestly, I couldn't even finish it. It was embarrassing how gentle it was.  Before reading it, I had a thought that maybe I would go back to one of the last official religious resignation letters I wrote. Maybe the one from nine years ago to the lead pastor of the mega church I was part of, or maybe the open letter from six years ago that kinda catapulted me into this space when I wrote about the evangelical behavior of that pastor when it lost him his job. To see, and, I guess, prove not only how much I've grown, but that I grew up here, in front of y'all, to prove my right to be here, and to say what I'm about to say. To show you all my papers, 'cause that's what we've been conditioned to do as black folks.  But, turned out there was no need for me to go that far back to be cringeworthy.  Daniel and I, as Cat Tetris, are posting something to social media every day in August. He's got the odd days. I got the evens. And today is an even day, so...  We are posting to make ourselves practice a few different visibility skills, including no disclaimers. So we've got a 10 word caption limit. Because there is never a day when I legitimately have nothing to post, but there are infinite times I don't, because I feel like I need to explain what I'm sharing, and I can't, because what's understood doesn't need to be explained. So the fact that I'm constantly expecting to be misunderstood here, that's actually red flag shit, 'cause it didn't used to be this way. I didn't used to feel that way in or about this space.  The whole way I fell in was just speaking my mind and connecting with people who were in the same spiritual and or emotional and or mental place at the same time. And for a while, it was fine. But at some point, we lost the plot, because we stopped following it. We stepped into the space and started just standing around, commiserating instead of conspiring, plodding in circles, instead of plotting and planning. Settling instead of setting off.  One of my best friends just FaceTimed me. I told her I was writing this letter, and that it's a step in my plan to give us free. I know she believed me about this letter. I hope she believed me about the freedom, and I hope I come through.  So I didn't end up looking back at either of those other letters. They don't matter. They were to and for an audience that has aged badly and is looking more and more like its parents.  I'm handwriting this letter. When I finish this draft, I will go back and rewrite all of this, to satisfy the people pleasing part of my brain that likes being known for my handwriting. I'm not going to type it, because typing allows for a certain level of convenience that lends itself to wasting words. But when handwriting, ain't nobody got time for all that. So it helps me stay focused.  I'm leaving the deconstruction space for real and for good this time. I've been trying to leave for the past few years, which is extremely reminiscent of how I left, and how I felt, leaving evangelicalism. There were attempts, and then there, eventually, was a definitive break. This is my definitive break from exvangelicalism, which is literally just new evangelicalism. And y'all are the new tokens.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Misbehave, make something beautiful, and try to win.” — Curtis White's motto for resistance How to say no to fascism? Curtis White, the literary thinker dubbed “the splendidly cranky utopian,” has published what he calls a “manifesto” of “resistance.” On Resistance, the 75-year-old White told me, is his last work of non-fiction. He still has worlds to invent, novels to write. Enough with the manifestos. But don't expect a program. On Resistance is more of an anti-manifesto. “That's not for me to say,” White responds when asked what, exactly, we're supposed to do to resist fascism. His resistance is cultural. It's an attitude. Borrowing from Ted Gioia's subversive history of music, White likes the idea of “psychic treason.” Its patron saints are the first dropouts, romantics like Wordsworth and Coleridge who rejected the military, clergy and family to write poetry in the countryside. But On Resistance isn't simply sixties nostalgia. White, a veteran of Berkeley and the Haight, prefers the Nietzschean imperative to forget the past and move on to the next joyful deed. So the only good manifesto is the anti-manifesto. If you want to say no to fascism, become a cranky utopian. Or at least pick up On Resistance. Five Takeaways •       Psychic Treason. White's resistance is not conventionally political — Trump appears once or twice, party politics not at all. Borrowing “psychic treason” from Ted Gioia's Music: A Subversive History, he argues that the arts are subversive by nature: sometimes formally, sometimes by allying with social movements. His founding example is the Romantics, the first dropouts — Wordsworth and Coleridge refusing the military, the clergy, and the family estate to write poetry in the countryside, declaring cultural war once the church was out of the way. The treason White wants is the one the arts commit constantly, whether or not anyone calls it politics.•       Not Nostalgia — Nietzsche. The sixties made White: Berkeley in high school, San Francisco after, and the formative discovery that his country “had lied to me” and was indifferent to whether he lived or died. But On Resistance opens with the confession “I am living in a world that no longer exists” — and refuses to make anyone else live there. One chapter is bluntly titled “Forget The Beatles.” His position is Nietzschean: move on to the next joyful deed. And the rot, he insists, didn't start with Trump but with Reagan — the decades-long withdrawal of public money from public goods, education above all.•       The Three False Resistances. The book's first half is ideology critique: our culture says resistance is unnecessary because it has already been provided — by philanthropy, virtuous corporations, and liberalism. White's exhibits: Steve Jobs Buddha-branding the counterculture to sell machines to people who thought they were subverting something; the “big green” foundations (via Mark Dowie) taking over grassroots fights and defanging them; the Gates Foundation vaccinating children against polio downwind of a polluter it was invested in. Philanthropy, he argues, self-limits to protect the source of its own wealth. Patagonia may be the quiet exception that proves the rule.•       Dropping Out, Together. White's alternative is dropping out — plural: doing something else, and doing it with other people. The organic farms and farmers markets that have created communal well-being in most American cities; FC2, the author-run press he co-founded with Ronald Sukenick, past its fiftieth anniversary; the thriving-but-invisible independent presses — Graywolf, Coffee House, Rochester's Open Letter — for which he's now plotting a group Substack. The obstacle is the money jail: everyone's struggle for money limits what it is possible to do. The goal isn't overturning the status quo. “What we need right now is companions.”•       Misbehave, Make Something Beautiful, Try to Win. White's motto since The Middle Mind — the making beautiful needn't be art; the trying to win is where misbehavior gets socialized. His lineage runs Thoreau, Whitman, William Carlos Williams, and above all John Berger: Marxist, art critic, poet, writer of lively living books. His Marxism, such as it is, is the humanist 1844 Manuscripts — alienation, not expropriation — via Marcuse's One-Dimensional Man. And the book itself is the argument: playful and fierce, a performance that moves like a novel, reinvigorating worthy old ideas rather than hunting new ones. At 75, it's his last nonfiction — written in a spirit of play, to be left in one. About the Guest Curtis White is a novelist and social critic whose books include Memories of My Father Watching TV, The Middle Mind, The Science Delusion, and Living in a World That Can't Be Fixed. Called by Elle “the most inspiringly wicked social critic of the moment,” he is co-founder, with Ronald Sukenick, of FC2, the publisher of innovative fiction run collectively by its authors, and taught English for many years at Illinois State University. His new and, he says, final work of nonfiction is On Resistance: A Manifesto (Melville House, August 11, 2026). He lives in Port Townsend, Washington. References: •       On Resistance: A Manifesto by Curtis White (Melville House, August 11, 2026). Jeffrey St. Clair: “a trail guide through our disorienting and perilous political landscape.”•       Music: A Subversive History by Ted Gioia — the source of “psychic treason” and the argument that the arts subvert by nature.•       The Middle Mind by Curtis White — where the motto was coined: misbehave, make something beautiful, and try to win.•       Jon Taplin in Rolling Stone — the recent essay asking whether the counterculture can rise again, and a recent Keen On conversation in the same key.•       One-Dimensional Man by Herbert Marcuse — the Western Marxist tradition, via the 1844 Manuscripts, that taught White to worry about alienation rather than expropriation.•       FC2 — the author-run press of innovative fiction White co-founded with Ronald Sukenick, now past its fiftieth year. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 3,000 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTube

What do we really owe the legends... and what do they owe us?In this thought-provoking episode of the Ern and Iso Podcast, the duo tackles one of hip-hop's biggest conversations by presenting an open letter to Jaÿ-Z.From selling drugs along the East Coast, to creating Roc-A-Fella Records when no one believed in him, to releasing the classic Reasonable Doubt and ultimately becoming one of the world's first billionaire rappers, Jaÿ-Z's journey is one of the greatest success stories in music history.But after accomplishing everything he set out to do...Does he still have a responsibility to help the next generation?Ern shares why he believes Jaÿ-Z owes the culture nothing financially—but questions whether his experience, influence, and leadership could help artists navigate an industry filled with 360 deals, streaming payouts, and ownership battles. Iso weighs in on whether fans expect too much from artists simply because they've achieved greatness.The conversation also explores:Jaÿ-Z's rise from hustler to billionaireThe creation of Roc-A-Fella RecordsReasonable Doubt and its lasting legacyKanye West's comments about Dame Dash believing in him firstThe NFL partnership and the "We're beyond kneeling" statementCorporate partnerships versus cultural responsibilityStreaming revenue, ownership, and the future of hip-hopWhether hip-hop's legends should lead the next generation—or simply enjoy the empire they builtThis isn't a diss.This isn't hate.This is a respectful conversation about legacy, leadership, and what the future of hip-hop could look like.

I call it a good start. We'll talk about that…BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: North Texas Antifa Terror Cell Members Sentenced to Combined 450 Years in Federal Prison; And their legal woes are not yet over. Antifa is an IdeaFORT WORTH, Texas — Eight members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell received historic federal sentences on Tuesday, with prison terms ranging from 30 years to life in prison for their roles in the shooting ambush on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility. The attack led to the first federal Antifa terrorism prosecution — and later convictions — in U.S. history.U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman sentenced ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song to 100 years in prison. Song was convicted of the most serious offenses in the case, including attempted murder and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Prosecutors proved at trial that he shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross in the neck during the Fourth of July attack last year.Bradford Morris, a trans militant and sex worker known as “Meagan Morris,” who lived in a Dallas commune with other trans individuals he referred to as his “wives,” was sentenced to 50 years. (The Kessler Heights neighborhood commune also functioned as one of the group's bases.)The defendants were among nine Antifa members convicted by a federal jury in March following the first federal Antifa terrorism trial in U.S. history. Their prison sentences are the longest in American history for convicted violent Antifa members.Feds Drop Hammer on 15 Minnesota Antifa Members Accused of Organized Anti-ICE Violence 15 members of an Antifa cell in the Twin Cities have been federally indicted over mass anti-ICE violence in JanuaryA federal grand jury has indicted 15 members and associates of a Twin Cities Antifa network accused of organizing violent coordinated efforts to obstruct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minnesota.The 94-page indictment charges the defendants with conspiracy to impede or injure federal agents and officers, alleging they worked together from January through June 2026 to prevent ICE and other Department of Homeland Security personnel from carrying out federal duties.A member of the cultlike Zizians group is charged in the killings of her parents in PennsylvaniaIn this image from video, Michelle Zajko, who authorities say is associated with a cultlike group known as Zizians, is escorted into court for a pretrial hearing in Cumberland, Maryland, on January 16, 2026.AP — A member of the cultlike group known as Zizians has been charged with murder in the shooting of her parents at their Pennsylvania home on her 30th birthday, and a prosecutor said Wednesday she wasn't acting alone.Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse said evidence from a neighbor's doorbell camera, ballistics and analysis of cellphone records have left investigators certain Michelle Zajko is at least partly responsible for the deaths of her parents, Rita and Richard. They were shot in her childhood playroom on New Year's Eve 2022, surrounded by her old dolls and toys.“At this time we do not know who her co-conspirators were, but we are very certain that Michelle Zajko was in the home and arranged for the death of her parents,” Rouse said.The new charges against Zajko, who has been jailed in Maryland on other charges since February 2025, include murder, burglary and conspiracy charges in her parents' deaths. She has denied killing them, and in court filings suggested her father might have killed her mother and himself.“I didn't murder my parents,” she wrote in an April 2025 “ Open Letter to the World” that her attorney sent to The Associated Press.Authorities had long described Zajko as a person of interest.The two deaths are among six linked to the Zizians, a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists who appear to share radical beliefs about veganism, animal rights, gender identity and artificial intelligence. Since 2022, members have been tied to the death of one of their own during an attack on a California landlord, the landlord's subsequent killing, the Zajkos' deaths in Pennsylvania, and a highway shootout in Vermont that left a border agent and another Zizian dead.Zizians face charges in multiple statesZajko, now 33, also is charged with providing the gun used to kill U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland in January 2025, though nothing has happened in that case. She was arrested in Maryland a few weeks later along with Daniel Blank and Jack “Ziz” LaSota, whom authorities describe as the group's leader. Police who responded to a landowner's complaint about suspicious people parked in box trucks on his property described them as having “ties with the Zizians Cult” and said they would be questioned about crimes across the country.Zajko had been estranged from her parents in the year leading up to their deaths, the prosecutor said. In a January 2022 text message to her father, she complained that her mother had “assumed the worst” about her since she was a child.“Every time I interact with mom in a nonsuperficial way she spends the time insulting a life she knows nothing about,” Zajko wrote. Hours before her death, Rita Zajko apologized to her daughter and wished her a happy birthday.“That text went unanswered,” Rouse said.Richard Zajko's sister-in-law, Roseanne Zajko, thanked police and prosecutors Wednesday, saying that her family has endured “countless days of darkness and despair” waiting for justice.SCOOP: Radical LGBQ and so-called “T” activists at a Pride event in Amarillo, TX, caught on camera ASSAULTING two Christian men

In this special episode, Crystal reads her open letter written in response to the recent Southern Baptist Convention vote regarding women in ministry.Written from the perspective of a lifelong Southern Baptist, Christian counselor, and survivor of spiritual abuse, this letter is addressed to every woman who has ever questioned whether her voice, gifts, or calling matter in the Kingdom of God.With honesty, compassion, and biblical encouragement, Crystal shares a message of hope, dignity, and purpose for women navigating disappointment, confusion, or discouragement in the wake of the SBC decision.No matter what any vote may say, your worth was settled at the cross, your purpose was established by God, and your voice still matters.

Texas Democrat James Talarico's list of biblical absurdities continues to grow. Added to his claims that God is “non-binary,” that “the Bible is silent about abortion,” and that there are “six different genders,” we now have his contention that Mary's consent to the virgin birth is a story about her being “prochoice.” So how should we respond?

Did Daily Wire really torch $100 million on Bentkey? Marcus Pittman, CEO of LOOR TV, called the collapse of conservative streaming years before it happened - and he is back on the show to explain exactly why conservative entertainment keeps losing. Four years ago Marcus came on with a contrarian pitch that made VCs laugh in his face - Netflix meets Kickstarter, where subscribers decide what gets made. Today he has funded nearly 40 pieces of content for under a million bucks, the same number the venture guys swore would cost over $100 million. He bet against the room and the room was wrong. Here is the mistake that keeps sinking the right. Conservatives build content for the parent and forget the parent is not the consumer - the kid is. McDonald's figured this out with the Happy Meal in the 70s. Chuck E Cheese figured it out. Bentkey never did, ad the bill came due to the tune of nine figures. Then we get into the part nobody on our side wants to hear. Rumble keeps screaming "free speech platform" while quietly admitting they have no Mr. Beast. Microsoft lit $100 million on fire chasing Ninja over to Mixer. The pattern is always the same - buy the big name, wait for the audience to follow, watch it crash. Marcus lays out the open letter he wrote Chris Pavlovsky and the playbook that actually builds an audience from zero. We close on where this is all going - why Gen Z does not care about celebrities, why the next great Christian film might be a Ryan Gosling space movie, and why the human connection that AI can never fake is the whole ballgame. If you build, fund, or just consume content, this one will recalibrate how you think about the entire game.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded yesterday, and miraculously, no one was harmed. The Trump administration released a new website about aliens in America, and it ends with a twist. Glenn reacts to all the performers who are backing out of the America 250 event due to its "divisive" nature. What is so divisive about celebrating America's 250th birthday? Glenn addresses a recent Huffington Post article on the rise in society of the use of the word "retard." Glenn criticizes Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson after she dissented from even her liberal colleagues in a recent SCOTUS decision. Glenn speaks to Stanford University student Taryn Thomas, who was a pro-Palestinian activist who had a change of heart after visiting an exhibit paying tribute to the victims of the Nova Music Festival atrocity. Glenn dives deeper into the true reason why performers are backing out of the America 250 concert celebration. BlazeTV host Steve Deace joins to discuss the controversy surrounding the America 250 event and how Americans should celebrate this milestone. Glenn explains why he has devoted this summer to educating the younger generations.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 994 of The Professional Left takes a hard look at the war on memory — the long, grinding campaign to erase what actually happened to this country and replace it with a comfortable myth that lets the people who caused the damage off the hook. A fascinating breakfast conversation between a writer and ten of his late father's Trump-voting friends provides the jumping-off point, raising a question that cuts right to the heart of everything: where exactly are these voters getting their opinions about Democrats, and has any of them ever actually listened to one? Driftglass and Blue Gal dig into the epidemic of recycled lies that keeps millions of Americans firmly convinced that Both Sides are equally to blame, no matter how much evidence piles up to the contrary. And with episode 1000 just around the corner, this one serves as a sharp reminder of why remembering clearly and accurately — and saying so out loud — is one of the most radical acts left in American politics.Links for this episode: Open Letters by Mersault – https://patricemersault.substack.com/Driftglass's guest appearances this week:Bob Cesca Show (May 20, 2026): https://www.bobcesca.com/the-bob-cesca-interview-driftglass-day-5-20-26/Nicole Sandler Show (May 20, 2026): https://nicolesandler.com/5-20-26/BradCast (May 21, 2026): https://bradblog.com/?p=16941Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show
