Whenever federal immigration agents pull up to a location in Minneapolis, people take their whistles out, start blowing them and start filming.In December, US government sent more than 2,000 Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents into Minnesota in December as part of Operation Metro Surge. The residents of the metropolitan area known as the Twin Cities – Minneapolis and St. Paul – quickly came together to protect and support their neighbours at risk of being caught up in ICE raids.In this episode, we speak to Daniel Cueto-Villalobos, a doctoral candidate at the University of Minnesota, who lives in southern Minneapolis and studies race, religion and social movements. He tracks the neighbourhood groups that have sprung into action in response to the ICE presence back to mutual networks set up during the 2020 Covid pandemic and in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis policeman.This episode was written and produced by Katie Flood with editing help from Mend Mariwany.

9 - MASS ORGANISING - The Post Office Bank penny is dropping by Australian Citizens Party

“Organizacja siebie” (“organising yourself”) is the tiny Polish phrase you'll repeat until your calendar thanks you. First you hear it at full speed, then slowed down so you can nail the sneaky “cj” and the soft “siebie.” We drop it into three productivity-ready sentences: – “Potrzebuję lepszej organizacji siebie.” (I need better self-organisation.) – “Planuję dzień z rana.” (I plan my day first thing in the morning.) – “Mój kalendarz jest moim najlepszym przyjacielem.” (My calendar is my best friend.) Repeat-along track included—perfect while you colour-code your to-do list or batch-cook for the week. Challenge: post a screenshot of your newly-labelled Polish planner with hashtag #organizacjasiebie and we'll repost the tidiest one.

Recently, I was honoured to give the Spinoza Lecture in Den Haag, Netherlands, a wonderful opportunity to pay homage to a truly great thinker, as well as for a few reflections on knowledge and how it has been organised throughout history. In the course of my reflections, we meet Spinoza in his house in The Hague, the great scholar and dictionary writer Pierre Bayle, as well as Denis Diderot and his favourite friends and enemies. We follow revolutions in writing and thinking through Bayle's Dictionnaire historique et critique and Diderot and d'Alembert's Encycopédie, and their inversion during the nineteenth century, when dictionaries were no longer instruments of intellectual subversion, but empire building. Knowledge and its organisation are always contested. Who gets to chose? To describe? To value? Whose authority? And what about today, about Wikipedia and increasingly about AI engines, the questions we ask them and the ways we trust them? Where does autonomy go?Support the show

Le home organising, c'est bien plus que ranger. C'est une façon de repenser son intérieur pour qu'il soutienne vraiment le quotidien de la famille. En désencombrant et en organisant les espaces, on gagne en praticité, mais aussi en bien-être. La maison devient plus simple à vivre, plus apaisante, et l'énergie y circule mieux. Moins d'objets inutiles, c'est aussi moins de charge mentale.À l'approche de Noël, l'organisation devient une alliée précieuse. Anticiper quelques points clés change tout : prévoir des espaces clairs pour les manteaux, les boissons, les petits-déjeuners, et permettre à chacun d'être autonome dès son arrivée. L'idée n'est pas de tout contrôler, mais de créer un cadre fluide où tout le monde trouve facilement sa place.Pendant les fêtes, alléger la charge mentale passe aussi par le partage. Faire des listes, répartir les tâches, simplifier les menus, accepter de ne pas tout faire soi-même. La perfection n'est pas l'objectif : profiter l'est.Le désencombrement, lui, peut devenir un moment positif et familial. On avance par petites zones, on garde l'essentiel, on donne ce qui ne sert plus. Quand chaque chose a une place, la maison respire… et les habitants aussi.Les fêtes sont enfin le moment idéal pour observer son intérieur, ajuster, repenser, et préparer une nouvelle année plus harmonieuse, dans une maison qui soutient vraiment la vie de famille.Au micro : Samantha Nicastro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQAKGQ-687M&t=10s Premiered on 9 Mar 2025 Ella Rule, chair of the CPGB-ML gives a presentation to celebrate International Working Women's day 2025. Ella Rule gives the real and uncensored history of Sylvia Pankhurst, her family and background, hers fathers role in the formation of the Independent Labour Party, her More and sisters fight for the rights of women to have the Vote. And most importantly Sylvia's struggle against all injustice, for property rights for married women, against racism, against colonialism, for freedom for India and later Abyssinia - Ethiopia, and along the way her realisation that all workers and oppressed must struggle for their own freedom, and that path lay along the direction of socialism. Organising among the working women and the working people of East London, she founded the Women's Dreadnaught, with a circulation of 20,000, and after WW1, in the time of the great socialist stirring of the British Masses, the Red Rising, she changed her organisation's name to the Worker's dreadnaught. Journeying to Moscow to meet Lenin at the Second Congress of the communist international, she was persuaded to lead her organisation to join in forming the young communist party - the CPGB - with William Gallagher and others, and to affiliate to Labour: “in order to support it as a rope supports a hanged man”. However falling in love with an Italian anarcho-socialist, she criticised the Soviet Union's centralised economic planning, and in stead joined to Italy to take part in the bienno-rosso: the Red two years, in Turin, and other cities where workers had taken effective power of their cities and workplaces - until drowned in blood by the rise of Mussolini. Sylvia withdrew from the movement, concentrating on campaigning for womens maternity and children's rights, before journeying to Ethiopia where she made important contributions to the development of Ethiopia and its civil institutions, after Ethiopia had managed to rid itself of Italian Colonialism.

This panel was recorded live at the World Transformed Festival 2025, in Hulme Manchester. The climate crisis continues to rage despite its disappearance from public discourse and the collapse of the climate movement.We desperately need a new socialist climate politics, but what role does ‘Your Party' play in its development and delivery?Should we prioritise contesting elections or building eco-socialist revolution? Mobilising in the streets or organising workplaces? Shifting consumption or disrupting polluting production? And how do we prepare to respond to the impacts of climate change?This session aims to unpack these tough questions and offer a renewal of socialist climate strategy.Millie Kent is an eco-socialist organiser from London.Chris Saltmarsh is a socialist climate campaigner and writer.

This week on The Veg Grower Podcast, I've been busy both at home in the kitchen garden and down on the allotment. Autumn is certainly upon us, and that means it's time to tidy, store, and prepare for the months ahead. Kitchen Garden Update At home, my main focus has been on checking over our stored fruit and vegetables. I always try to do this regularly – especially the ones that aren't in the freezer. Apples and pears are kept in crates in the garage where it's cool, dark, and dry, with just enough space between each fruit for airflow. It's important to remove any showing signs of rot before it spreads to the rest. The same goes for the onions in sacks and root vegetables stored in damp sand. It's a simple but vital job to keep our homegrown produce lasting right through winter. The chickens have now fully integrated into one flock, all sleeping together in the same coop, which is great to see. They're not quite laying yet, but they're certainly settled in. I've also been preparing for the colder weather by moving tender plants such as my peach, lemon, and potted grapevine into the greenhouse. The fleece is on standby in case of frost. My grapevine in the ground, though, has been incredibly productive this year, producing a mountain of dessert grapes – small but delicious. Alongside that, we're still harvesting spinach, mustards, beetroot, and cabbage, while the pumpkins and winter squash are now safely stored after a good year. Allotment Update Down on the allotment, I've been continuing the long-running task of tidying from the bottom of the plot upwards, a little at a time each visit. This week, the big project has been building a new compost bin. Using reclaimed corrugated iron from an old shed, I've bolted together panels with wooden posts to create a strong, practical bin about 1.5 metres long by 1 metre wide. It joins my existing bins, including one made from old fridge doors – not the prettiest, but it does the job! I've already begun filling the new bin with grass clippings and trimmings, and it's satisfying to see the allotment looking tidier and more productive again. Another key job this week was planting out overwintering onions, both from sets and from seed. The sets go about 5 cm deep before being backfilled and watered. They'll provide an early crop next year. It's one of those repetitive tasks that feels endless at the time but pays off later. We've also still got a few tomatoes hanging on, though blight has begun to appear on the larger varieties, so those plants have been cleared and composted. The smaller tomatoes are still ripening slowly, and we're continuing to harvest apples, pears, chillies, peppers, and late carrots. Kitchen Garden Recipe – Autumn Ratatouille This week's Recipe of the Week is my Autumn Ratatouille – a great way to use up the last of the summer harvest. It's a simple mix of onion, garlic, aubergine, courgette, peppers, and tomatoes, all gently cooked down with olive oil and herbs into a rich, warming dish. It's perfect with pasta, as a side to a roast, or even spooned onto toast with a poached egg. You'll find the full recipe on our website. In the Potting Shed Back in the shed, I've been sorting through my seed collection – a job I do every autumn. My seeds are stored in labelled boxes inside an old fridge to keep them cool, dry, and safe from mice. This week I've been checking expiry dates, removing old packets, and making a list of what I already have before I start looking through seed catalogues. It saves money and prevents duplication. Out-of-date seeds often still germinate but at a lower rate, so I donate them to local gardening charities or use them to feed the birds. If you fancy a bit of homework this week – go through your own seed collection, see what's missing, and start planning what you'd like to grow next year. It's a great way to get ahead before spring arrives.

How do the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves, each other and our place in the web of life shape our world?How can we craft narratives that can shift the way we see and experience the world? Is this even the best leverage point to start off with or is there a deeper/wider/more effective acupuncture point we could explore as we evolve to become…what?  What are we aiming for? What—who—do we want to be and how might we reach places we can't even express - and do it in the face of a world where narratives are becoming more black-and-white, more constrained by circumstances, more held by those with power? In a week that's seen our world become both more complex, more ugly and more beautiful, we're talking to story-crafter and narrative-explorer, Paddy Loughman. Paddy's work explores the role of narrative and communications in navigating beyond our predicament. He is curious about how we might come together to appreciate what science and wisdom traditions reveal about entangled, relational reality, and the potential of more viable, beautiful worlds. He works independently, collaborating with activists, academics, philanthropists, creatives, community organisers and more, orienting towards just, transformational change. He has also co-initiated a number of efforts, including Inter-Narratives with Ella Saltmarshe. Earlier in his career he worked as a strategist in commercial and political communications, before jumping into climate campaigning with a wide range of organisations, from the UNFCCC to grassroots activists, and once upon a time he trained as an actor.This is my first conversation after a life-changing time away from my desk and it was a genuinely generative, consciousness-expanding conversation. I'm in the space where reality, dream and experience are overlapping seamlessly and Paddy felt like one of those people who can stand on the edge of all our spaces and look into what we might become and how we might get there.  So…with this as your baseline, please do join us in our exploration of possibility.

A few structural things that make it hard to be an organiser: You maybe haven't had a job before, or have only had kind of informal jobs. So, you might not have learned a lot of stuff about how to accomplish things at work. You're probably trying to do a degree at the same time, which is hard enough on its own! You don't have the structure and benefits provided by a regular 9-5 job at an organisation, like: A manager An office Operational support People you can ask for help & advice A network You have, at most, a year or so to skill up before you might be responsible [...] --- First published: September 12th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/zMBFSesYeyfDp6Fj4/student-group-organising-is-hard-and-important --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

If you've ever wondered why your private practice isn't generating as much revenue as it could, this episode is for you. I share how to stop “selling the candle” and start communicating true value in a way your clients actually connect with. Whether you're offering therapy sessions, courses, workshops, or even freebies like PDFs or apps, the difference between struggling and thriving often comes down to how you present the value of what you do. In this conversation, I walk you through the mistakes I see therapists making with their websites and social media, why niching matters so much, and how to use plain, relatable language that converts inquiries into bookings. I also share what we can learn from big launches (like Alex Hormozi's record-breaking book launch) and how therapists can adapt those strategies without the overwhelm. If you're not sure how your website is performing or if you're struggling to attract the right clients, book a Website Wellness Check and let me give you tailored feedback on your messaging and visibility. Or, if you'd like to brainstorm your practice strategy with me directly, grab a Complimentary 15-Minute Business Strategy Session. Both are designed to give you clarity and practical next steps to help you generate more revenue with ease.

For this episode, we asked show favourite Mojaxx⁩ to return and to talk about a subject that might surprise some listeners: DJing with 45s. It's something that a surprising number of DJs still like to do, especially those who remember the 7" single the first time around.It's a subculture within a subculture that might be a bit geeky, but it's undeniably cool. As DJing on 7" vinyl is something we both enjoy, we thought this topic would make a good twist on the "then and now" angle that these 15th birthday podcasts have followed.If you enjoy this podcast and you can, please do give us a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts.

Many L&D teams are under pressure to deliver business impact—but are held back by disorganisation, unclear positioning, and a lack of strategic focus. In this episode, Guus van Deelen, author of Organising L&D for Results, shares a practical approach for transforming how L&D functions operate from the inside out. Drawing on his experience and research, Guus explores why traditional L&D structures fall short, how organisational context shapes what “good” looks like, and why it's time for L&D to get closer to the business. He introduces key tools like the L&D Quick Scan and the five L&D ‘chessboards' that help leaders navigate complexity, make conscious trade-offs, and align their teams for real impact.

We also talk about the relationship between union officialdom and struggles on the shopfloor.While these experiences are specific to John, we do think many of the dynamics are pretty common, with similarities with many workplaces – especially office-based ones.Our podcast is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.
