The story of Polish Jewry, pre-Holocaust Europe's largest Jewish community, is often told as one of creativity and contestation. In his new book, An Unchosen People: Jewish Political Reckoning in Interwar Poland, University of Chicago professor Kenneth B. Moss traces instead a complex and painful story of Polish Jewish reckoning with diasporic vulnerability, nationalism's terrible potencies, Zionism's promises, and the necessity of choice. Moss examines the works of Polish Jewry's most searching thinkers as they confronted political irrationality, state crisis, and the limits of resistance. He reconstructs the desperate creativity of activists seeking to counter despair where they could not redress its causes. And he recovers a lost grassroots history of critical thought and political searching among ordinary Jews, young and powerless, as they struggled to find a viable future for themselves – in Palestine if not in Poland, individually if not communally. Join Kenneth Moss in conversation with Stanford professor Steven Zipperstein for a discussion on this new publication and the history it unveils.

In an effort to give the illusion of importance, Donald Trump is forever trying to slap his name and likeness on buildings, monuments and memorials all over Washington, DC. You don't need a psychology degree to recognize that this is a clear indication of his insecurity and egocentricity. Trump has been playing childish games in recent moths, trying to get around or outright defy a court ruling that his name must remain off the Kennedy Center. A federal judge in DC held a hearing at which Donald Trump AGAIN lost a renewed bid to affix his name to the Kennedy Center.

In this episode we discuss the work of French philosopher Alain Badiou. Ever since the 1970s, Badiou's philosophy has been characterized by an untimely systematicity and an ambitious effort to bring together politics, art, science, and love in a unique synthesis under the aegis of a novel fundamental ontology. In Metapolitics, Badiou explains what he understands by politics as a historical site where truths can be produced, and what it means for a militant subject to remain faithful to such a truth, affirming a radical egalitarianism over against the exclusions and hierarchies of the state. Along the way he says some very funny things about what he sees as the deficiencies of more traditional ‘political philosophy'. Above all, Badiou reminds us that even when it seems like there is no alternative, no state is capable of truly foreclosing the possibility that a radically restructuring Event might take place – and he's got the math to prove it. We think he's neat!This is just a short teaser of the full episode. To hear the rest, please subscribe to us on Patreon:patreon.com/leftofphilosophyReferences: Alain Badiou, Metapolitics, trans.

The Thought Police Are Watching the TaproomThere was once a useful boundary between public conduct and private conviction. You could buy bread, order coffee, or enjoy a pint without first demanding a political confession from the person behind the counter. That boundary is rapidly disappearing, particularly when activists can search public records, identify a business owner's political contributions, and organize economic punishment without pausing to consider what the person actually supported.Today's Plausibly Live begins at a Tacoma brewery whose owners contributed to a Washington ballot initiative campaign. Their money was specifically intended to help repeal the state's capital gains tax, but political nuance proved inconvenient once activists discovered that the organization also supported another initiative involving transgender participation in women's sports. The resulting controversy raises a question extending far beyond beer, taxes, or any single ballot measure: Can citizens still petition their government without placing their livelihoods before a self-appointed tribunal?From there, the show heads to Thailand, where two sailors from the USS Abraham Lincoln managed to turn an ordinary night of liberty into an international headline. The official account describes a “drunken brawl.” Anyone who has served aboard ship may recognize something considerably less extraordinary: young sailors, a foreign port, an argument, and shore patrol arriving before matters became genuinely memorable. Dave draws upon his own Navy experience to explain how quickly “us versus them” can change after somebody insults the ship.Finally, a conversation about Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas wanders into dangerous cultural territory: tattoos. One lyric from the film has remained lodged in Dave's memory for decades, and he is prepared to defend its wisdom despite knowing perfectly well what the response will be.Political surveillance, sailors ashore, craft beer, Dolly Parton, and an opinion almost guaranteed to generate angry email. It is exactly the sort of Friday journey one should expect from The Dave Bowman Show.#PlausiblyLive #DaveBowmanShow #FreeSpeech #PoliticalCulture #USNavy #DollyParton #Podcast

Washington wants you to believe the latest Beltway rumors are just routine political drama. The real story goes much deeper: a Pentagon in turmoil, senior military figures pushing back, and a commander-in-chief who purposefully lets the chaos burn.

Instead of getting lost in the daily news cycle, Michael Steele cuts through the media noise to examine who is actually pulling the levers, why traditional rules no longer apply, and whether Pete Hegseth is genuinely on the chopping block or sitting exactly where President Donald Trump wants him.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, be sure to share it with a friend!

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Howard Polskin, president, founder, and chief curator of The Righting.com. Howard spent the first half of his career as a journalist, writing extensively about TV news for TV Guide magazine. Drawing on his media expertise, Howard founded The Righting, an aggregation platform that curates headlines from right-leaning publications and gives readers a comprehensive overview of conservative thought and analysis. Howard and Jennifer engage in a thoughtful conversation about the gap between left and right media, the challenges of identifying media bias, and the effects of consuming news from a single perspective. Howard shares his motivation for launching The Righting after the 2016 election and describes how he discovered an entirely new media landscape. The episode covers Howard’s manual curation process, the intricacies of classifying media outlets, growing polarization in both cable news and politics, and the rise of extreme candidates driven by the primary system. Conversation topics include the contrasting coverage of post-October 7th campus protests, differing reports on the COVID-19 pandemic, and the evolving political center of the United States. Howard explains how regularly reading conservative commentary has shifted his understanding of certain issues, emphasizing the value of intellectual curiosity and a willingness to reconsider personal viewpoints. “I look at the news from the right and the opinion pieces and the analysis like a scientist looking under a microscope at a deadly virus.” – Howard Polskin Today on The Political Contessa: The Righting.com aggregates and curates headlines from a diverse selection of right-leaning publications for daily insight. Howard Polskin launched The Righting.com after realizing in 2016 that much of the right-leaning media landscape was unfamiliar to him. It is easier to identify right-wing media outlets than to label progressive or mainstream ones. Left- and right-leaning media sources frame and prioritize major stories in dramatically different ways. Exposure to alternative viewpoints has meaningfully shaped Howard’s opinions on certain topics. Political polarization and extremism are fueled by current primary election systems. Coverage of contentious events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and campus protests, depends heavily on the news outlet. Howard Polskin curates The Righting manually each day, without AI, to ensure content is thorough and accurate.

Jen Psaki takes a closer look at how former weekend right-wing cable news host Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's defense secretary, is gutting the top tiers of the U.S. military while doing a poor job handling Donald Trump's inexplicable war on Iran, and running down the U.S. military with wasteful, ill-considered decisions. Rahm Emanual, former Obama White House chief of staff, discusses the crisis of Pete Hegseth's leadership.

Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary. Fifty states. Fifty crimes. Two hundred and fifty years of Americanhistory, told through the true crime cases that other shows leave behind.New Mexico, 1892. A former sheriff walks into the dark with a man he trusts and never comes home. Illinois, 1871.A former Secretary of State steps off his porch for a midnight train and is shot dead in the street. Both menserved their communities. Both were killed for it. Both were largely forgotten — until now. This is historical truecrime, and tonight both cases are about what happens when political power turns lethal.Case A: Francisco Chavez and the Santa Fe RingFrancisco Chavez was born around 1851 in New Mexico Territory, the son of a family that had shaped this regionfor generations before the American flag flew over Santa Fe's plaza. He was Hispanic, a nuevomexicano, and hebecame sheriff of Santa Fe County at a time when the territory's government had been captured by the Santa FeRing — an informal network of Anglo-American lawyers, politicians, and land speculators who exploited Spanishand Mexican land grants to strip Hispanic families of land they had occupied for generations.At the center of the Ring stood Thomas Catron, a Confederate veteran and Missouri lawyer who arrived in NewMexico in 1866. By the 1890s, Catron had acquired interests in thirty-four land grants totaling approximatelythree million acres — making him, by most accounts, the largest private landowner in the United States. He hadserved as district attorney, territorial attorney general, and U.S. attorney. He owned the territory as surely asanyone could.Chavez stood against him. Historian Tobias Duran, writing in the New Mexico Historical Review, called Chavez aformidable foe of the Santa Fe Ring. He was the rare Hispanic Democrat using the blunt authority of the sheriff'soffice to push back against the most powerful men in the territory.On the night of May 29, 1892, Chavez was lured from a Santa Fe bar by a man named Atilano Gold — someonehe trusted. Gold walked him toward the Guadalupe bridge, near the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,the oldest shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the United States. Armed men waited behind a telegraph pole.Chavez was shot multiple times. His last words, spoken in Spanish, were that brutes had assassinated him.Four men were indicted: Francisco Gonzales y Borrego, his brother Antonio, Laureano Alarid, and PatricioValencia. Their defense attorney was Thomas Catron — the man widely suspected of ordering the murder,now defending the accused killers. The prosecution's key witness, Juan Gallegos, testified that a $700 paymenthad been offered through intermediaries for Chavez's death. Judge Seeds ruled that he did not believe Catronpersonally made the offer, but accepted the conspiracy existed. That distinction shielded Catron from criminalliability.All four defendants were convicted and sentenced to death. Appeals dragged on for nearly five years. On April2, 1897, they were hanged simultaneously at the Santa Fe jail grounds. Forty-five National Guard soldiers werepresent. At 9:09 AM, the trap bolt was drawn. Three necks broke on impact. Patricio Valencia strangled for threeto four minutes before he died.Thomas Catron was never charged. When New Mexico achieved statehood in 1912, the territory he had helpedplunder elected him as one of its first two United States Senators. He died in 1921. A former senator. Nevercharged. Never tried.Case B: Sharon Tyndale and the Seal That Outlasted HimSharon Tyndale was born in Philadelphia on January 19, 1816. He arrived in Belleville, Illinois in 1833 — the sameyear Chicago was incorporated as a town — and spent the next three decades building railroads and building acareer. Abraham Lincoln personally appointed him Postmaster of Belleville in 1861. When Lincoln was assassinatedin 1865, Tyndale was among the committee members who received the president's coffin in Springfield. He wasone of the original fifteen members of the National Lincoln Monument Association, the group that built Lincoln'stomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.In 1865, Tyndale was elected Illinois Secretary of State. His younger brother Hector had bled for the Union atAntietam, was promoted to brigadier general, and was later breveted major general for gallantry. The family'sloyalty to the Union was bone-deep.In 1867, the Illinois legislature authorized a new state seal. Tyndale proposed reversing the state motto from "StateSovereignty, National Union" to "National Union, State Sovereignty." The Civil War had settled that question withblood. The Senate rejected his proposal. So the legislature gave him the wording and handed him the design.Tyndale kept the words in their mandated order. But he designed the banner in the eagle's beak to twist, placingthe word "Sovereignty" upside down. The seal entered use in 1868. More than a hundred and fifty years later, theword "Sovereignty" still hangs inverted on the Great Seal of the State of Illinois.On April 29, 1871, two years after leaving office, Tyndale walked out of his home on Adams Street in Springfieldjust after one in the morning, heading to the Chicago & Alton railroad station for a 1:50 AM train. On the darkstreet, steps from his own front door, someone clubbed him to the ground and shot him behind the right ear witha single-shot Derringer — the same type of weapon used to kill Abraham Lincoln six years earlier. His $50 walletwas taken. His gold watch was not. His killer was never identified.A five-thousand-dollar reward went unclaimed. Four theories competed — robbery, romantic entanglement,political enemies, railroad business dispute — and the competition destroyed the investigation. The 1929 IllinoisState Journal concluded the welter of possible motives had hindered the case. No arrest was ever made.The seal lives on. Every official document issued by the State of Illinois, every state flag that flies over Springfield,still carries the handiwork of a man who was murdered two years after completing it.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
