Gaia Vince, author of Nomad Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World, presents a stark look at the inevitable mass migration caused by a changing climate, which she argues will force billions to move from the tropics to the habitable north this century. She identifies the "four horsemen of the Anthropocene"—fire, heat, flood, and drought—as the primary drivers of this upheaval. Using the example of a Peruvian farmer forced into a Lima slum, Vince illustrates how climate migration is already underway and often results in precarious existences due to a lack of legal pathways. The book advocates for a radical rethinking of borders and global citizenship, suggesting that the global north needs millions of workers to avoid a demographic crisis and support aging populations. Vince proposes a new UN body to manage migration, using quota systems to match migrants with labor needs in expanded northern cities. She envisions a future where biotechnology, vertical farming, and lab-grown meat provide sustainable nutrition for a global population of ten billion. Vince also explores technological solutions for planetary restoration, including geoengineering methods like ocean fertilization with iron and enhanced weathering of rocks to sequester carbon. While acknowledging the controversy of such projects, she argues that decoupling economic growth from environmental destruction is essential for survival. Ultimately, the book is a call for global inclusivity and a planned strategy to make the unavoidable flux of people work to the advantage of all. (3)1783 Australia

Before 1977, flamenco percussion relied solely on hand‑clapping and dancers' footwork. But that year, at a party in Lima, Peru, the cajon entered the scene.Spanish guitarist Paco de Lucia and Brazilian percussionist Rubem Dantas attended an event at the Spanish embassy where they saw local musicians playing the cajon, an Afro‑Peruvian box drum that evolved from the wooden crates enslaved people used to make music in the 17th century. Since then, the cajon has become a staple of flamenco.Rubem Dantas spoke to Stefania Gozzer about what happened that night.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Watch On Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=dlnjBMS6Jto&feature=youtu.be Daniel Valverde (@DanielValv3rd3) is a Peruvian entrepreneur who calls himself “the most interesting Peruvian in the world.” After building a successful cleaning company that now operates under his team in Peru, he stepped away from the day-to-day business to pursue a long-held passion: reviving Peruvian winemaking. In this episode, Daniel shares his journey from entrepreneurship to launching Valtierro, his inaugural 2025 wine vintage, along with the lessons he's learned building businesses, traveling the world, and creating a brand rooted in Peru's history. While Peru is already celebrated globally for its cuisine, including Central in Lima being named the World's Best Restaurant, few people realize the country has been producing wine for nearly 500 years. Home to some of the oldest vineyards in the Americas, Peru's winemaking tradition predates many of today's famous New World wine regions. Daniel explains why he believes Peru is on the verge of becoming the next great wine destination, how grapes like Negra Criolla are helping revive this forgotten heritage, and why Valtierro aims to be at the forefront of Peru's next chapter in fine wine.

In this episode of When She Serves, Krista Fox sits down with veteran missionary Leona Karni, whose more than four decades on the mission field have taken her from Israel to Thailand to Liberia and beyond. Leona shares her testimony from the beginning — a childhood altar call at age nine, a season of rebellion and drug use as a hitchhiking Buddhist in 1970s California, and the moment God spoke audibly into her apartment and set her on a path back to Him.Leona also opens up about the year she spent studying Hebrew Scripture with her Israeli husband to determine for herself whether Jesus was the Messiah, and the surprising verse in Exodus that God used to settle the question for good. From there, the conversation follows her calling into full-time missions: a prophetic word spoken over her at a roadside rest stop in Louisiana, a jaw-dropping story of buying a house with a single dollar and no income, and eleven and a half years serving trafficked and at-risk children in Thailand.Now in her 80s and living in Bradenton, Florida, Leona is still stepping out in faith — currently working to launch a Bible school in the Peruvian jungle and to build a network of women across South America who intercede for pastors and churches. She and Krista talk candidly about discerning God's voice, pushing through seasons of doubt, and why being "used of the Lord" is still, after all these years, the greatest joy of her life.Leona's childhood introduction to the gospel and her years walking away from faithComing to Christ after studying Hebrew Scripture to test whether Jesus was the MessiahA prophetic word delivered by a stranger at a roadside rest stopThe remarkable story of buying a house in Chestertown, Maryland with a one-dollar down paymentEleven and a half years on the mission field in Thailand working with children vulnerable to traffickingCurrent work in Bradenton, Florida, including plans for a Bible school in the Peruvian jungleAdvice for discerning God's call and pressing on through seasons of doubtLeona is the author of several books available on Amazon, including Chosen in Love, which tells the story of her inward journey from anger to the freedom of God's love as she ministered around the world.
The press is the only industry the Constitution protects. Hugo Balta thinks too many newsrooms forgot why, and he walked out to prove it. Hugo Balta spent three decades in newsrooms at NBC, MSNBC, Telemundo, CBS, ABC, and ESPN before leaving mainstream media for independent journalism. He now serves as executive editor of The Fulcrum and publisher of the Latino News Network, and he remains the only person in the history of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists to serve twice as its president. This conversation runs from a Paterson, NJ childhood as the son of Peruvian immigrants to why he rejects objectivity as a marketing tool, what a free press is actually for, and the morning he flew the flag upside down.

No journalist checks their identity at the newsroom door, and pretending otherwise is what audiences have stopped believing. The honest standard is fair and accurate, built on transparent methods and undisputed facts. The math flipped, so he left. Early in his career, journalism was 70 percent of the job and business pressure 30. A decade later that ratio inverted toward clicks and presidential tweets, and that was the moment he chose independence. Diagnosing a problem is only half the work. Solutions journalism holds that reporters owe readers more than a spotlight on what's broken. The turn toward what right looks like, backed by evidence and a few action items, is what separates informing from educating. Understand the motivation, not just the position. Most disagreements are about the path, not the destination. Asking what drives someone's stance humanizes them and opens the ground where real debate can happen. About Our Guest Hugo Balta is executive editor of The Fulcrum and publisher of the Latino News Network, which has grown under his leadership to ten local and national digital news sites. A three-decade veteran of network and public media, he is an accredited Solutions Journalism Network trainer and teaches at Columbia College Chicago.

Guano and the Double-Edged Sword of Industrial Farming Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World The story of the cormorant centers on guano, a nitrogen-rich fertilizer that once made businessmen like William Gibbs the richest commoners in England. While the Inca had used guano for centuries, the 19th-century trade was built on the tragic exploitation of Chinese indentured laborers on arid Peruvian islands. This "natural" fertilizer era eventually gave way to the Haber-Bosch process, which allowed for the mass production of synthetic nitrates. Mossargues that while this "high farming" prevented starvation, it led to a "drug addict" dependency on chemicals that has devastated wildlife. Farmland birds like the partridge and skylark have declined sharply as intensive practices destroy insects and degrade soil. Citing Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Moss highlights that the same agricultural revolution that boosted yields also created an ecological crisis, leaving many modern fields "hopeless for wildlife."

From overnight heartthrob to enduring pop culture icon, Christopher Atkins joins us for a funny, revealing conversation that delves into Hollywood, celebrity, and changing cultural mores… all while cooking a Peruvian dinner for his girlfriend! #multitasker Chris looks back at the Blue Lagoon phenomenon, reflecting on why the film remains such a lasting pop culture touchstone as a coming-of-age love story that explores the roots of desire and societal expectations. He shares behind-the-scenes memories from filming on a remote island at the age of 18. (his first time away from home). Production erected a tent village that served as home, for cast and crew, for four and a half months. Exactly why did producers place a Brooke Shields poster above Chris's cot? They were hoping to inspire sparks that looked real on camera! And it worked.Our conversation explores Chris's unique position in time and space where LGBTQ+ people were beginning to live more openly just as he was becoming a male sex symbol.How did all of this impact a teenager, coming of age himself and quickly recognizing just how recognizable he had become after making just one movie? Chris says his step-dad kept him grounded, reminding him that when the movie star at the table is getting the most attention, it's time for him to ask other people how their day is going. He looks back on being sexualized as a young man, and reflects on how dramatically attitudes towards nudity, consent, and gender dynamics on film sets have evolved since he entered the business. Through it all, Christopher maintains that true beauty always comes from within.Chris fondly recalls his friendship with Brooke Shields, explaining that while he often felt protective of her, she was already the seasoned pro and he was the newbie, learning the ropes from her. While Chris honestly owns his marginal singing and dancing capacities, The Pirate Movies gold album soundtrack he earned hangs proudly in his home and he loves attending fan events with co-star Kristy McNichol and meeting folks who claim they watch this movie on loop, stopping only briefly to snag some face time and an autograph.At the cusp of his stardom, Chris attended the legendary Night of 100 Stars celebration, where he and Brooke enjoyed memorable encounters with James Cagney, Paul Newman and Princess Grace. Plus, do you know what Linda Gray did to Chris during their kissing scene on Dallas? We'll let Chris tell you! And we just had to put Chris through rounds of Blue Lagoon Trivia AND, IMDB Roulette, where we learn that Chris has co-starred with Lesley-Ann Warren, Cloris Leachman!

Interview with Blaine Monaghan, President & CEO of Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/pacific-ridge-exploration-tsxvpex-2026-drilling-campaign-eyes-500-mt-resource-expansion-9972Recording date: 8th July 2026Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:PEX) closed the final tranche of an C$8.5 million financing and in doing so secured its largest corporate strategic shareholder: Peruvian mining group Minsur S.A., which through its subsidiary Cumbres del Sur now holds approximately 13.8% of the company. For a junior explorer that has spent recent years working to close a persistent valuation gap with peers, this is a meaningful development heading into the 2026 field season.The financing directly funds Pacific Ridge's 2026 exploration programme: approximately 2,500 metres of drilling each at the flagship Kliyul copper-gold project and the RDP copper-gold project, both located in British Columbia's Toodoggone district. Mobilisation is underway, with drilling expected to begin by late July and a second rig arriving mid-August to accelerate the Kliyul programme.At Kliyul, Pacific Ridge already holds a maiden resource of 334 million tonnes at 0.33% copper equivalent - roughly 2.42 billion pounds of copper equivalent, or 5.7 million ounces of gold equivalent. Rather than simply expanding this resource, management is directing drilling toward three untested porphyry targets along a 6-kilometre mineralised trend, starting with the M39 target in the property's southeast corner. Only three of the roughly 36 holes drilled at Kliyul to date have tested ground outside the existing main zone, leaving significant untested potential. Management's rationale is straightforward: nearby discoveries at Amarc Resources' Freeport-backed JOY district and Kingfisher Metals' HWY 37 project in the Golden Triangle have both driven multi-fold share price re-ratings, and a fresh discovery is seen as more likely to move Pacific Ridge's valuation than incremental tonnage growth.At RDP, the 2026 programme is concentrated on testing an interpreted porphyry centre nestled between two known mineralised magnetic lobes, the same zone that Minsur specifically negotiated technical access rights to as part of its investment. CEO Blaine Monaghan has described RDP's grades as among the highest-grade porphyry copper-gold mineralisation seen in the province, distinguishing it from the larger but lower-grade Kliyul resource.Minsur's investment carries structural significance beyond the capital itself. The company has been granted an investor rights agreement covering participation and top-up rights in future financings, along with a nine-month right of first refusal to acquire the RDP project and an agreement to negotiate a potential strategic transaction in good faith. This creates a defined, time-bound window in which Minsur can act on this season's drilling results - a specific catalyst investors can track rather than an open-ended thesis.With more than C$9 million now in treasury and a share count that has grown from roughly 63 million to approximately 97 million following the raise, management argues the company's dilution overhang is largely behind it, pointing to roughly 160 million shares traded since September 2025 as evidence that legacy sellers have been substantially absorbed. Separately, Pacific Ridge's Yukon gold properties, Mariposa and Eureka Dome, remain under a non-dilutive option to Labrador Gold Corp, adding optionality without competing for Pacific Ridge's own exploration capital this season.View Pacific Ridge Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pacific-ridge-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Bad Bunny has spent the past week turning Europe into his personal stage and fashion runway, while also making award‑season history and stirring up conversation across social media and marketing circles. On the music front, El Nuevo Día reports that Bad Bunny drew around 45,000 listeners at the first of two massive shows in Paris, underlining that his current tour is still operating at stadium scale and that demand in Europe is intense. The same outlet details how he “lit up France” with a surprise appearance by reggaeton legend Yandel, who emerged on the roof of La Casita during the show, sending the French crowd into a frenzy and turning the performance into a trending moment across Latin music circles. Social clips from Instagram show Bad Bunny interacting playfully with fans, including one reel where he pulls a French woman onstage and has her say “Acho, PR es otra cosa,” jokingly rejecting the line before finding another participant, a moment that's being widely shared as a snapshot of his Puerto Rican pride and improvisational stage energy. Beyond the stage, fashion media have focused heavily on his presence at Paris Couture Week. According to posts from Enrique Santos and other entertainment pages on Facebook and Instagram, Bad Bunny attended the Schiaparelli fall–winter 2026–2027 show right after wrapping his Paris concerts, stepping into the front‑row elite of couture alongside major fashion names. Another viral Instagram reel shows him seated with Anna Wintour, reinforcing that he remains one of the few global music stars who can move seamlessly from arena headliner to couture insider within the same week. A separate Instagram reel highlights that he appeared with his brother Bernie Martínez Ocasio, with commentators noting how the Martínez Ocasio siblings drew attention as one of the most talked‑about family pairings at a major fashion event. Live‑music industry outlets and business press are still digesting the strategy behind his current global tour. A recent post from El Economista on Facebook describes his tour “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” as the number‑one tour in the world so far this year, while stressing the striking decision not to include a single U.S. date: no New York, Miami, or Los Angeles stops. Commentators there argue that this is both a commercial flex and a symbolic repositioning of the global touring map, centering Europe and Latin America while reminding listeners that Bad Bunny can top worldwide tour rankings without relying on the U.S. market. Awards news has given him another historic milestone. RPP from Peru reports that his Super Bowl halftime show has earned him several 2026 Emmy nominations, marking a rare crossover where a Latin urban artist is recognized by one of television's most traditional award bodies. Coverage highlights that these nominations are framed as “historic,” underscoring how his performance at the Super Bowl is being reconsidered not only as a pop spectacle but as an innovative live TV event. This Emmy attention continues a pattern where Bad Bunny crosses institutional boundaries—from Grammys and touring records to major fashion houses and now high‑profile television honors. In the world of culture commentary, the magazine Jot Down has just published an essay titled “De Nirvana a Bad Bunny: la rebeldía que el mercado sí permite,” arguing that Bad Bunny is a product of his time whose apparent transgression is fully compatible with the market, yet still functions as genuine rebellion by questioning norms around masculinity, language, and class within mainstream music. The piece positions him as a figure who tests how far non‑English, non‑traditional pop can go inside the global system while still selling out tours and dominating playlists. Marketing and brand‑strategy outlets are also tracking his impact. The Peruvian site MercadoNegro notes that campaigns featuring Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny, and Sabrina Carpenter are among the standout marketing efforts of 2026, pointing to how brands continue to build entire digital narratives around his image and lifestyle. This coverage emphasizes his ongoing role as a bridge between Latin trap, luxury fashion, and high‑end brand storytelling. Back on social platforms, Spanish music station LOS40 has highlighted a lighter, pop‑culture angle: La Casita de Bad Bunny in Barcelona has become a celebrity magnet, with actress Úrsula Corberó recently reappearing there with a brand‑new look, prompting fans to call the pairing “the duo we needed.” This kind of content shows how Bad Bunny's branded spaces are operating as hubs for regional entertainment and style, not just concert venues. Across all of this, the past week paints Bad Bunny as a multidimensional figure: selling out European stadiums, turning couture shows into news, collecting Emmy nominations, inspiring longform cultural essays, and anchoring high‑profile marketing campaigns—while still using spontaneous fan interactions and Puerto Rican slang to keep his performances grounded and local.

Keiko Fujimori and the Return of the Fujimori Dynasty. Guest: Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori has likely secured the Peruvian presidency, narrowly defeating her socialist opponent through overseas votes. Her administration faces a deeply divided nation, widespread illegal mining, and cocaine production, but may benefit from a new bicameral Congress intended to provide greater political stability than previous years. 101950
SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOCR SHOW, 6-24-2026MEXICO CITYThe Imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and the Future of Hong Kong. Guest: Mark Clifford and Gordon Chang. Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 1US Navy Control and the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang. Despite Iranian claims of closure, the US Navy maintains tactical control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring sea lanes remain open for international shipping. Advanced mine-clearing technology and persistent patrols have neutralized threats, though economic signals like the Jones Act waiver remain points of discussion. 2Canadian Public Opinion on the Chinese Threat and US Trade. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang. A majority of Canadians perceive China as a threat following revelations of election interference and malign influence operations. Meanwhile, concerns grow regarding the reliability of the United States as a partner under the Trumpadministration and the potential abrogation of the USMCA trade agreement. 3Strengthening Defense Ties Between the Philippines and Canada. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang.Canada is deepening security cooperation with the Philippines to counter Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea. This partnership includes logistical agreements and military training, even as Canada faces challenges protecting its own Arctic sovereignty against increasing Russian and Chinese strategic reach in the North. 4Ukrainian Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Oil Infrastructure. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Cheap Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russian refineries and fuel transport, causing significant shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. This technological warfare has forced Russia to ban exports and implement rationing, as traditional air defense systems struggle to counter swarms of small, maneuverable drones. 5Declining Russian Oil Production and the Shadow Fleet. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Russian oil production is falling due to aging fields and a lack of investment, failing to meet OPEC quotas. While Russia utilizes a "shadow fleet" to bypass sanctions, it must offer steep discounts to India and China as Brent crude prices decline and fiscal pressures mount. 6European Heatwave, Commodity Prices, and UK Political Shifts. Guest: Simon Constable. A "Godzilla El Niño" has triggered record-breaking heatwaves across Europe, impacting energy demand and agriculture. Amid falling Brent crude prices, attention shifts to UK politics, where the potential rise of Andy Burnham within the Labour Party signals a move toward higher taxes and increased government spending. 7The Infrastructure and Economic Impact of Data Centers. Guest: Simon Constable. Data centers have become essential infrastructure for AI development, consuming vast amounts of water and electricity. While they provide significant tax revenue for localities, particularly in states like Virginia and Texas, their construction often faces local opposition due to their immense resource requirements and costs. 8Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 9Keiko Fujimori and the Return of the Fujimori Dynasty. Guest: Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori has likely secured the Peruvian presidency, narrowly defeating her socialist opponent through overseas votes. Her administration faces a deeply divided nation, widespread illegal mining, and cocaine production, but may benefit from a new bicameral Congress intended to provide greater political stability than previous years. 10Political Instability in Bolivia and Regional Alliances. Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales. While regional allies have supported Paz, Brazil's absence from this coalition highlights President Lula's role as a principal counterweight to US influence. 11Mexico's Economic Growth and USMCA Renegotiation Tensions. Guest: Evan Ellis. The Mexican economy saw its sharpest expansion in five years, yet the upcoming USMCA renegotiation creates significant uncertainty. While Mexicoattempts to appease the US through high-level investigations into cartel-linked officials, the Sheinbaum government remains hesitant to fully confront powerful political figures within its own party. 12Pope Leo XIV's Warning on Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. In a 43,000-word encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns that artificial intelligence risks dehumanizing society and excluding God from the human experience. While acknowledging technological benefits, the Pope emphasizes the danger of treating humans as mere means and the erosion of authentic human relationships in favor of machines. 13AI in Education and the Necessity of Liberal Learning. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. The rise of AI in academia tempts students to bypass the essential struggle of thinking, leading to intellectual atrophy. Educators argue that liberal education is now more vital than ever to help students cultivate a flourishing mind and recognize the limitations of technological shortcuts. 14Private Innovation and Infrastructure Challenges in Space. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. SpaceX successfully defeated legal challenges in Texas while NASA's aging infrastructure faces funding gaps and restrictive laws. Meanwhile, private startups like Catalyst are attempting robotic satellite rescues, signaling a shift toward a capitalist model in space operations as government agencies struggle with delays and inefficiencies. 15New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The Lucy probe's flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson revealed a "tumbling peanut" shape, providing insights into its 155-million-year history. Additionally, observations of asymmetric radio galaxies highlight galactic movement through the intergalactic medium, while debates continue among cosmologists regarding the existence and properties of dark energy. 16One correction folded in: Labour Party (UK spelling) in file 7. I also expanded the file 9 headline's "Law Order" to "Law and Order" — flag if you wanted it left verbatim.

A potential super El Niño is developing in the Pacific Ocean, and scientists are warning that it could have major consequences for marine ecosystems around the world. While El Niño is a natural climate pattern, stronger events can dramatically alter ocean conditions by warming surface waters and reducing the nutrients that support marine food webs. In this episode, we explore why researchers are watching this event so closely and what it could mean for the future of the ocean. One of the biggest concerns is how a super El Niño could affect fisheries and marine wildlife. When warmer water prevents nutrients from reaching the surface, phytoplankton production can decline, reducing food availability for fish, seabirds, seals, and sea lions. Some of the world's most important fisheries, including the Peruvian anchoveta fishery, have experienced major disruptions during past El Niño events, creating ripple effects throughout global seafood supply chains. We also discuss why this story matters beyond the ocean. A strong El Niño can influence food security, coastal economies, coral reef health, and climate impacts across the globe. Although scientists cannot stop an El Niño from forming, improved forecasting and monitoring systems give communities more time to prepare. This episode examines the science behind the headlines and explains why what happens in the Pacific Ocean rarely stays in the Pacific Ocean.

If you've ever wondered whether a Vegas elopement can be stress-free and still feel real, we give you the unfiltered play-by-play.Then we zoom out to what made the honeymoon hit so hard: the landscapes. We talk Valley of Fire State Park and Red Rock Canyon like the outdoor bucket list stops they are, including petroglyphs, brutal heat that can sneak up on you, and why a scenic loop can be perfect when you want epic views without an all-day hike. We also head to Willow Beach for Colorado River kayaking to Emerald Cave, where the water is so cold it changes your personality, and the cliffs come with surprise wildlife sightings.Of course, it's still Las Vegas, so we get into the Mob Museum, Fremont Street, and the street-level lessons you learn fast about hustles, photo traps, and keeping your head on a swivel. We finish with the food and show highlights that make a Vegas honeymoon itinerary complete, including a Peruvian steak dinner at Chica, Gordon Ramsay beef Wellington, Cirque du Soleil Beatles Love, and a comedy night at the Laugh Factory.If you like this kind of story-driven travel episode, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a trip, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.

WATCH MAD TSAI'S MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BITE”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GevLw6cqBI&list=RD2GevLw6cqBI&start_radio=1How does a bedroom pop artist cross 200 million streams entirely on their own before signing to a major label? Today on Middle Row, we are joined by the artist Mad Tsai to break down his rise in music while finishing his degree at UCLA. From the viral, LGBTQ+ fan-edit momentum of "Boy Bi" to the 100-million-stream milestone of "Stacy's Brother," Mad Tsai explains how activating niche fandoms can activate internet subcultures to pull an artist's music into their world.We dissect the fundamental shift in listener psychology; such as, contrasting traditional, forced record label marketing with the organic power of TikTok fan edits (ex.

Ralph welcomes political consultant and pollster, Celinda Lake, to outline a ten-point Progressive Contract for America that she and Ralph believe – if adopted by Democratic candidates— will ensure they landslide the Republicans in the midterms. Then, Ben Cohen stops by to fill us in on his “Free Ben & Jerry!” campaign to take back the brand from the conglomerate that no longer retains the social justice values of their original company. Plus, Marine Corp veteran, Matthew Hoh, tells us about the provocative speech he made on Veterans Day entitled “Armistice Day and the Empire.”Celinda Lake is a political strategist and president of Lake Research Partners. She and her firm are known for cutting-edge research on issues including the economy, health care, the environment and education, and have worked for a number of institutions including the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Governor's Association, AFL-CIO, SEIU, CWA, Sierra Club, NARAL, Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood, VoteVets Action Fund, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Her international work has included work in Liberia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus Ukraine, South Africa, and Central America.I think [a Compact for America] is a really, really, really important idea, and it's absolutely essential to winning…And it should include concrete economic proposals. And it is noticeable that the two people who won governorships in 2025—Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill—both had contracts with their voters.Celinda LakeDemocrats need to lay out ten concrete proposals and run on them. We have the critique of what's going on. We understand what's happening in real people's lives. The third leg of the stool is offering our alternative—and a concrete alternative that people can pass on to their friends and family, that people can hold us accountable for. And the last of the ten proposals in the contract needs to be something about campaign finance reform. We have to get corporate money out of politics, or our system will continue to be rigged against us and rotting from the middle.Celinda LakeBen Cohen is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime anti-war activist. He is a co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's and a prominent supporter of progressive causes. He is co-founder of Up In Arms, a public education and advocacy campaign pushing for a common-sense approach to military budgeting.What's happened is that the company recently got owned by the Magnum Corporation, and the Magnum Corporation has disbanded that independent board of directors. I mean, it's kind of a crazy, stupid move because it's under that independent board (which has legal authority over the social mission and the quality of the product and the use of the trademark) it's under that independent board that the company has grown and done so well. But they've gotten rid of the independent board.Ben CohenWhen Ben & Jerry's was in the midst of trying to fend off this acquisition, there were some new laws that were passed in Vermont that allowed a consideration of the benefit of the community with regard to a potential sale. And after the sale happened, B Corporation started. And I've talked with the founder of B Corp, and he was saying that one of the inspirations for starting B Corporations was what happened to Ben & Jerry's. So B Corporations are a different legal structure for corporations which requires them to take into account the social benefit to the community and legally makes it easier to resist these efforts to have the company taken over.Ben CohenMatthew Hoh is a disabled Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War and former Afghan War State Department Officer. In 2009, after being appointed to the Foreign Service, Hoh resigned his post in Afghanistan over the Obama administration's escalation of the Afghan War. He is now an analyst and commentator on foreign and military policy issues as a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network. He serves on the advisory boards of many peace organizations, including Veterans for Peace and World Beyond War, and is an associate member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.The United States recognized Armistice Day as a holiday until after the Second World War. And then in the height of the Cold War in the early 1950s, this idea of a holiday dedicated to peace, a holiday dedicated to the abrogation of warfare, a holiday that exposed just how false the motives for war are—oh that was incredibly troublesome. That was very problematic for the American empire (again, at the height of the Cold War). So there was this campaign to rename Armistice Day to Veterans Day. And this way, it became not a remembrance of the horrors of war, of what war entailed, of who profited from war. But rather a celebration of American veterans, that they have won freedoms, they have protected us from overseas enemies—and utilizing veterans, then, as a tool to crush dissent, to silence opposition.Matthew HohClick here to sign up to get a copy of Matthew Hoh's "Armistice Day and the Empire”News 6/19/26* Our top stories this week are about major local progressive victories. Here in Washington, DC Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George – endorsed by a broad coalition of groups including the Metro DC DSA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club and many more – has triumphed in the Mayoral primary. Lewis George trounced her centrist opponent, Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, who was backed both by major local corporate interests, such as the realtor lobby and even the Washington Parking Association, but also Democratic Party power brokers, including two former DNC Chairs. Lewis George, hailed as DC's answer to Zohran Mamdani, won over 50% of the vote in the first round, meaning that while this is DC's first mayoral election under ranked-choice voting, this race will not trigger this mechanism. McDuffie, for his part, won around 36% of the vote, coming ahead of Lewis George only in Ward 3, the wealthiest in the District. While votes remain to be counted, McDuffie has conceded.* Another DSA-backed candidate is poised to win a seat on the DC council. In Ward 1, Aparna Raj appears to have come up just short of 50% but while this means the race will go to a second round of ranked-choice reallocation, given that Raj is more than 25 points ahead of her nearest opponent, her victory is all but guaranteed. This is based upon data from the DC Board of Elections. Raj's impending victory, paired with that of Janeese Lewis George and others like Oye Owolewa demonstrates that the DC DSA is an electoral force to be reckoned with.* In more progressive electoral news, Semafor reports Bernie Sanders has endorsed former Congresswoman Cori Bush in her “comeback” bid for her old seat. Bush, a nurse and Black Lives Matter activist, was a member of the “Squad” in the House before she was defeated by a primary challenge from the right, backed in large part by AIPAC money. With the Republican redistricting in her home state of Missouri, this seat is now the sole remaining safe Democratic seat in the Show-Me State. In a statement, Bush said she was “honored to be endorsed” by Sanders, whom she called a “true leader in our movement to guarantee healthcare, housing, and childcare for all.”* Another much-publicized Bernie endorsement was announced this week: that of Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson. Pearson was originally running as a primary challenger against longtime incumbent Congressman Steve Cohen in Tennessee's 9th congressional district, but since the state Republicans redrew the districts Cohen has decided to retire, leaving the Democratic nomination to Pearson for the taking. While this district has been drawn in such a way to make it difficult for a Democrat to win, Pearson argues that “You've got a number of disaffected Republican voters, you've got a number of distraught MAGA voters, and you've got fired-up Democrats, which is a perfect recipe for success for us…Because our tent is big enough for everybody who is feeling that this status quo was rigged and broken against working-class folk, and want to see a future that is more just,” per the Intercept.* Elsewhere in the South, the race in Florida's 20th congressional district is descending into chaos. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the powerful centrist Democratic congresswoman who was drawn out of her traditional seat by the recent Republican-led redistricting is now officially running in this district, a move that “disappointed” Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, according to the Miami Herald. Fried further stated that Wasserman Schultz “[refused] to engage in meaningful dialogue about her decision.” Elijah Manley, the progressive candidate in this race, had harsher words for DWS. In a quote reported by Florida Politics, Manley stated “I'm not surprised that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to FL-20, a black opportunity district, abandoning her own district and constituents…She is no different than the Republicans that are eviscerating black representation across the South. She is everything that's wrong with the broken unpopular Democratic establishment…I look forward to retiring her from public office permanently.”* Facing down the barrel of this decision, several of the Black candidates running in the 20th convened to discuss a plan to consolidate in order to ensure the district would continue to be represented by a Black member of Congress, as it has been for the past 34 years. However, CBS reports that plan has “fallen apart” as the filing deadline passed with none of the major Black candidates bowing out. This report includes statements from Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who, the piece notes, resigned from this very seat in disgrace earlier this year amid a congressional ethics investigation, saying she is “excited to campaign in the district I have represented for the last 5 years.” Dale Holness, the former Mayor of Broward County, said, “It has to be about policies that produce prosperity for the people.” Elijah Manley, said “I think it's going to come down to who works the hardest, and I think I'm going to work the hardest.” To this end, Manley has recently racked up major progressive endorsements in Florida, including Armando Grundy-Gomes, President of the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida, the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, through President Matthew Grocholske, and Black Voters Matter lead Florida organizer Jamil Davis. According to the most recent polling, Manley lags behind Wasserman Schultz 21% to 39% in initial ballot testing, but blitzes into the lead 36% to 27% after voters receive candidate biographical information, per Florida Politics.* Another major political story from Florida is the comeback bid of former Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson, who won a House seat in 2008, lost it in the Tea Party wave of 2010, won another seat, ran unsuccessfully for Senate, and then sought a comeback in 2018 is running in Florida's 7th congressional district, AOL reports. Grayson, known during his time in Congress for his “combative style and frequent clashes with Republicans,” is seeking to unseat scandal-plagued incumbent Republican Congressman Cory Mills. As this piece notes, Mills has “faced allegations ranging from sextortion claims made by a former girlfriend to accusations that he embellished aspects of his military record,” as well as what appears to be clear instances of corruption, such as driving government contracts to entities he owned. However, before these two have any chance of facing off against one another, both will have to get through his own party's primary.* Looking to Latin America, the outgoing President of Colombia Gustavo Petro, has published a fascinating op-ed in the Washington Post. In this piece, President Petro emphasizes how his government – considered one of the most opposed to American intervention in the region – has cooperated with the United States on shared objectives including stopping the “deadly flow of drug trafficking and transnational criminal violence.” Throughout the op-ed, Petro goes to great lengths to talk up Trump and how they have collaborated on mutual goals, even ending the piece by writing that “with continued U.S.-Colombia partnership, we can truly make the Americas great again.” This apparent about face from Petro, culminating in an obsequious appeal to Trump's favor, has led many to speculate about Petro's motivations here, including fear for his own safety, possible persecution within the American legal system or intervention in Colombia if his designated successor Ivan Cepeda ultimately wins the Colombian runoff presidential election this month. Whether or not this stratagem will work remains to be seen, but with Trump, flattery can get you everywhere.* In neighboring Peru, votes continue to be counted in the razor's edge race between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez. The votes for the election, held on June 7th, are almost completely counted now – the tally stands at 99.38% – and at the moment Fujimori leads by around 39,000 votes. However, around 140,000 votes have been formally challenged, with 60% of those coming from Fujimori strongholds like Lima as well as Peruvians abroad. This from Reuters. Peru's political system has been wracked by instability, with the country going through nine presidents in the last ten years. Another painstakingly close election is unlikely to restore stability no matter who comes out on top.* Finally, we turn to the Middle East, where it seems the numerous parties involved in the latest round of peace talks may have finally reached a deal. According to Al Jazeera, in addition to the US-Iran agreement, rooted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which includes financial concessions to the Islamic Republic, Israel and Hezbollah are pursuing a ceasefire in Lebanon. However, Israel's notoriously loose interpretation of ceasefire agreements jeopardizes both this deal and MOU. Journalist and expert Rania Khalek states simply that “From Iran's perspective, continued Israeli strikes would be a violation of that understanding.” Vice President JD Vance, who has been intimately involved in these negotiations, expressed a sharp warning to Israel not to jeopardize the deal and risk alienating Trump, their “only ally” left. Trump for his part is already hedging, saying “If it works out, I'm going to take the credit…If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD,” per CNN. A report in the Hill indicates that Republican Senators would largely oppose the deal if it were submitted for their approval, but given the increasing concentration of foreign policy powers in the executive branch, it is unlikely the Senate will even be consulted.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
