In this episode, we talk with Lauren Walsh about conflict photography. Lauren first discusses her career trajectory, explaining her shift from English literature to photojournalism due to her sustained interest in storytelling and ethical issues. She explores who consent forms are designed to protect and stresses the need for ethical considerations in relation to photojournalists' mental wellbeing. Lauren grapples with the issue of ethical viewership in relation to fast paced encounters of suffering on social media. There is a discussion of perceptions of photojournalism within academia, she also dispels myths that the general public have about conflict photography.What you'll find inside: On consent forms: “I wouldn't want a one size fits all form cause I think depending on what's being documented it can radically shift what you need to protect for… if it is a setting where you think somebody could be at risk because of your work, I do think it is fair to think it through very very deeply and potentially offer them the opportunity to talk to you about it.”(20.42)“I don't have hard and fast answers a lot of what I do – and this is how I think of a lot of ethics – winds up in grey zones where it's really hard to give like here's the one exact rule you need to follow every time. For me part of the process is advocating or asking photographers to think more critically, in ways that I don't think that the industry usually train them to think.” (22.37)“A photojournalist should be paid for their work because it is a job and if they are documenting someone else's hardship, it brings these two uncomfortable realities together… this is a vital job if we don't pay into it then we lose what photojournalism or journalism broadly contributes to society. Which is keeping an eye on what is happening around the world particularly where we can't be, exposing injustices, making us aware.” (26.07)“Preliminary data is showing 85% of journalists are reporting a traumatic episode on the job, that's an enormous percentage. About 10% are reporting thoughts of suicide.” (35.24)“I also wouldn't ever make the claim that photojournalism matters more than what might be happening locally in a photojournalist's community. I say that almost from an advocacy position, as at least where I am based in in the United States like local journalism is really hurting here and the smaller newsrooms and the smaller publications are dwindling. I think actually community and local are reporting is so vital to the health of a community”. (39.44)What does photography ethics mean to Lauren? “Thinking through all aspects of the photo, the photojournalist before they pick up the camera, when they're in front of whatever they're documenting, before they file the image to an editor and then seeing where the images goes … I think they should operate in a way that should aim to reduce any harm to whatever story they're working on and I also think the industry has the obligation to reduce any harm for its media workers too.” (40.47)Links:The Cruel Radiance: Photography and Political Violence by Susie LinfieldConversations on Conflict Photography by Lauren WalshArt Works ProjectsArchiving the Troubles in Northern Ireland by Savannah DoddBiography of a PhotoHow to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell

This comprehensive series of transcripts delves into intense political and social turmoil unfolding in the United States. Highlighting Axios reports and firsthand accounts, the discussions expose escalating attacks on ICE and border agents, fueled by calls from within the Democratic base for violent resistance. The narrative explores alleged ties between political actors and organized gangs, the impact of mass illegal immigration on communities, and claims of a deliberate strategy to transform the country's demographics and governance. Framing these developments as the early stages of a slow-moving civil war, the commentary warns of deepening divisions, breakdowns in law and order, and the contentious fight over America's future—portrayed as a critical struggle against a looming authoritarian regime.

On Monday's show: The U.S. Supreme Court's latest term ended Friday. We recap the session and discuss what the rulings might mean for Texas and Houston with the help of law professor Charles “Rocky” Rhodes.Also this hour: On this date in 1986, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Bowers v. Hardwick, saying states could criminalize gay sex between consenting adults. In 2003, the decision in Lawrence v. Texas overturned that. We revisit a 2023 conversation with Mitchell Katine, the local attorney for the plaintiffs in the Lawrence case who spoke with us on the 20th anniversary of that ruling.Then, recent incidents, such as the murder of a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband and the forcible removal of Sen. Alex Padilla from a press conference, might lead us to believe political vitriol and discord have reached unprecedented heights. But that's not necessarily true. Author Zaakir Tameez joins us to discuss his new biography of Charles Sumner, an abolitionist senator nearly beaten to death for opposing slavery and what it can tell us about our political climate today.And Jeff Balke joins us to assess the first half of the Astros' season.

Yesterday, President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris attended the funeral of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, following a targeted political attack.

Later, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear weighs in on how proposed Medicaid cuts in the GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill," backed by President Trump, could affect hospitals across his state.

The Brennan Center for Justice finds the volume and severity of abuse directed at public officials is increasing, and is disproportionately directed at women and people of color.

Veeeeery busy day for us at the Majority Report today, with a new front of Israel's military rampage opening up with Iran, Donald Trump holding what turned out to be a rinky dinky military parade, political assassinations in Minnesota, No Kings protests across the country, and AOC and Zohran holding a joint rally in NYC. We get to all of that today, plus a great interview with Stephen Wertheim from the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Israel's provocations against Iran and how to parse out Trump's strategy (if we can even call it that). Follow Stephen on X here: https://x.com/stephenwertheim In the Fun Half, AOC takes the stage to a huge crowd at her joint rally with Zohran Mamdani and points out that many of the establishment Dems who called for Cuomo's resignation as governor are now lining up behind his run for mayor. She says this is just one more reason why the country needs to turn the page on the gerontocracy currently at the helm of both major parties. Republican Senator Mike Lee irresponsibly tweets out that the Minnesota gunman who shot four people killing two of them, including a Democratic state lawmaker of being a Marxist, while his roommate says he was a regular listener of Alex Jones' Infowars who was a Trump supporter. Tim Pool weighs in to the new war Israel has launched against Iran and what Donald Trump's role might have been. But boy does it seem like he has stacked his panel with a bunch of people who will make points on his behalf so he can avoid going on the record during such a sensitive matter. Netanyahu on the other hand is trying to justify why he's provoked a war with Iran by telling Americans that he's doing it for our safety. CNN for it's part points out that Iran has targeted Mossad's HQ, which is right in the middle of a highly populated part of Tel Aviv. Does that sound familiar?

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   We begin with the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. After a weekend of heavy missile and drone strikes, Israel now says its campaign could last for weeks.

Some were beaten, others detained and deported.   And in today's Back of the Brief—a leaked memo reveals the U.S. may dramatically expand the Trump travel ban to 36 more countries.   To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

On Saturday evening, thousands congregated in Washington D.C. to celebrate 250 years of the U.S. Army; this occurred amidst an escalated military conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. On Thursday night, Israel made a strike on the Iranian regime and its nuclear sites; continuing strikes between the two nations have followed. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-09) joined the Rundown to discuss attending the army parade and his concern for Americans' and politicians' safety. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed the "Unleashing American Drone Dominance" executive order to enshrine American leadership in the development, commercialization, and export of drones. Drones can be used in all facets of life, and Michael Healander, founder and CEO of Airspace Link, joins to break down the executive order and share why drones are beneficial.

Upon hearing of the horrible politically motivated shootings in Minnesota over the weekend, damn near everyone instantly tried to prove the killer came from the “other side.” That's all social media cared about all weekend. Not how horrible and tragic this event was, but rather looking only to score political points off of the killings. We have to be better than this. Hosted on Acast.

A weekend so profound in it's news that I am going to push this beyond the paywall. Let's start abroad… Israel-Iran Conflict Erupts with Fatal StrikesThe military confrontation between Israel and Iran intensified over the weekend, pushing the region toward a broader conflict. After Israel initiated Operation Rising Lion, Iranian ballistic missiles and drones pierced Israeli defenses, leading to 13 fatalities and hundreds of injuries. Iran, in turn, reported nearly 400 deaths, many of them civilians, following retaliatory strikes on its infrastructure and military assets.Israeli airstrikes included the bombing of energy depots in Tehran and targeted assaults on military aircraft. The Israeli government, under Prime Minister Netanyahu, emphasized that the current response was merely the beginning of a broader campaign intended to dismantle Iran's nuclear ambitions and proxy forces.Meanwhile, President Donald Trump denied American involvement but warned of U.S. retaliation should Iran target American interests. A backchannel veto of a potential Israeli strike on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei suggests complex coordination between the U.S. and Israel.Iran's capacity to fund regional proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis has drastically diminished. This could signal a potential collapse of its foreign influence model. Mossad operations inside Iran, along with America's preemptive repositioning of military personnel, hinted at foreknowledge of the Israeli offensive. As the G7 summit approaches, international leaders are poised to make de-escalation a top priority.Political Assassination Rocks MinnesotaA horrifying attack in Minnesota has left two dead and two more wounded in what authorities are calling a politically motivated assassination. State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, while State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were critically injured. The suspect, Vance Luther Boelter, remains at large.Boelter, 57, reportedly used a fake police vehicle and latex disguise to enter the homes of his victims. A manifesto and target list naming politicians and abortion providers were discovered, suggesting a premeditated campaign of terror. Boelter, with a background in security and missionary work, sent a farewell text to his roommate before the attacks and has since vanished.Authorities continue to investigate the full extent of Boelter's motivations, but his prior service on a Minnesota government workforce board and links to evangelical missions underscore the unpredictable nature of ideological radicalization. Political leaders have called for unity and condemned the violence as a tragic escalation of political extremism.No Kings Day Protests and D.C. Parade Are Mercifully DocilePresident Trump's 79th birthday coincided with massive "No Kings Day" protests, as hundreds of thousands across more than 2,000 cities demonstrated against what organizers describe as authoritarian governance. Backed by groups such as the ACLU and teachers unions, the protests, both domestic and international, were largely peaceful, although one protester in Salt Lake City was injured by a firearm discharged from within the crowd.In Washington, D.C., the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade presented a striking contrast. With more than 6,000 troops, historical reenactors, and military hardware on display, the event drew cheers and selfies rather than vitriol. Even MSNBC coverage noted the upbeat atmosphere, starkly different from the usual tension of Trump rallies.Despite criticism of the $45 million price tag and corporate sponsorships by firms like Northrop Grumman and Coinbase, the event appeared largely apolitical. Trump delivered a brief, focused speech and administered the enlistment oath to 250 new Army recruits, marking the occasion as a rare moment of bipartisan recognition for military service.Episode Chapters and Time Codes* Intro and Father's Day Reflections (00:00:00)* Israel-Iran Conflict Analysis (00:02:18)* Michael Leiter Interview on Israeli Defense (00:04:08)* Strategic Implications and U.S. Positioning (00:08:12)* Domestic Fallout and Trump's Dilemma (00:13:54)* Netanyahu's Political Calculations (00:18:02)* Minnesota Assassinations and National Impact (00:20:06)* Senator Klobuchar's Tribute (00:20:06)* Suspect Background and Manhunt Details (00:22:36)* Reflections on Political Violence (00:26:32)* No Kings Day Protests Recap (00:33:49)* Army Parade Overview and Public Response (00:35:28)* Final Thoughts on American Expression (00:44:01) This is a public episode.

#NEWWORLDREPORT: COLOMBIA POLITICAL VIOLENCE.  LATIN AMERICAN RESEARCH PROFESSOR EVAN ELLIS, U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE. @REVANELLIS #NEWWORLDREPORTELLIS 1890 CARACAS CASTRO CABINET

An in-depth discussion about why many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues justified.    It's been reported that the United States is seeing a sustained surge of political violence, including physical violence and vandalism against political leaders, federal judges, public officials, and those with an opposing ideology. But what may be most surprising is that many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues understandable and justified. In fact, Dr. Phil will speak with, Daisy, who is someone who claims not only can political violence sometimes be necessary for change, it can also be a logical response when people feel powerless. Dr. Phil will also speak with Paige, a young student who claims the alleged assault she endured at the hands of another student on her college campus was politically motivated. Plus, Dr. Phil will speak Kathy, a 70-year-old woman, who says her life changed forever when she claims a teenage boy physically attacked her while at a peaceful demonstration last year. Find out why Kathy says that alleged physical attack has kept her from participating in any type of activism. Thank you to our sponsors!
