Abby and Patrick sit down with writer Hilary Plum to discuss her remarkable new book, State Champ. A novel at which the politics of abortion stand at the center, but far from a didactically “political novel,” State Champ gives the three an opportunity to explore a suite of deeply psychoanalytic themes and topics: from the gap between our first-person experiences of our bodies to the claims and restrictions made by others on our bodily autonomy; from the purposes of protest to our motivations for undertaking them; from discourses about “regret” versus certainty and judgement; from the knowledge we anticipate to come from experiences versus things we know already versus things that others think they better; and from sex to eating disorders to humor to running and more. The three also reflect on writing and reading novels in 2025, genre, audiences, and on what communication and psychic change we hope fiction can achieve.

A year after a deadly crackdown, Kenya’s streets are alive with protests again, this time after a blogger died in police custody and officers shot a demonstrator at close range.

Mieszkając w Irlandii kilkanaście lat, wakacyjnie raczej dosyć słabo ją odbieram. Bo dla mnie wakacje, czyli początek lipca i później cały sierpień, no to tak bardziej mniejsze korki na ulicach i to jest zauważalne, że dużo łatwiej poruszać się przynajmniej po Galway, ale myślę, że po każdym innym większym mieście w tym kraju. A ty Tomaszu się cieszyć, bo niedługo będziesz miał tyle linii tramwajowych, że nawet nie będziesz wiedział, w którą wsiąść, żeby sobie gdziekolwiek pojechać, bo takie plany są oczywiście, przynajmniej w Dublinietak o swoim podejściu do rozpoczynających się wakacji mówi redaktor naczelny portalu Polska-IE.com Bogdan Feręc. Zwraca jednak również uwagę na poważne problemy irlandzkiej gospodarki, związane m.in. z masowym napływem migrantów. W ocenie współgospodarza Studia Dublin istnieje skuteczne rozwiązanie tego problemu:Nie wiem, czy Irlandia nie postawi właśnie na to rozwiązanie, że będzie płaciła ten podatek do Brukseli, czy może nawet mieszkańcy tego kraju sobie na to zażyczą czegoś takiego, żeby Irlandia zamiast przyjmować nielegalnych czy też legalnych migrantów, ale z krajów, które nie są specjalnie związane z EuropąEkipa Studia Dublin z nadzieją patrzy na prezydencję Danii w UE w kontekście możliwej rewizji unijnej polityki migracyjnej.

At Glastonbury 2025, British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan, consisting of frontman Bobby Vylan and drummer Bobbie Vylan, performed a politically charged set on the West Holts Stage on June 28. During the performance, Bobby Vylan led the crowd in chants of "Free, free Palestine" and "Death, death to the IDF" (Israel Defense Forces), while displaying a screen message labeling Israel's actions in Gaza as a "genocide." The set, broadcast live on BBC iPlayer, sparked widespread controversy, with Glastonbury organizers and Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemning the chants as "appalling hate speech." Plus segments on the DOJ executes largest healthcare Fraud takedown and Trumps new WEF plan to end Gaza war in two weeks. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano

Dozens of peaceful protesters, including disabled people in wheelchairs, were arrested last Wednesday in Washington, DC, while protesting President Trump's massive spending and tax bill, which will dramatically slash taxes, restructure the student loan and debt system, and make devastating cuts to vital, popular programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). With Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, Senate Republicans voted Tuesday to advance Donald Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, which will now go back to the House of Representatives for final approval. In this urgent episode of Working People, we speak with Lorraine Chavez and Chrstine Rodriguez, who were among the dozens arrested for their peaceful act of civil disobedience on June 25, about what's in this bill, what it will mean for working people, and how working people are fighting back.Guests:Lorraine Chavez is an educator, researcher, and community leader based in Chicago.

Together, they explore an unexpected question: Can paying taxes be a moral act? Far from being a dry civic obligation, Braunstein argues that taxation can serve as a collective ritual—one that reflects our values, builds solidarity, and fuels moral debate. The conversation traces the historical evolution of tax narratives in the U.S., from patriotic propaganda during World War II to the rise of anti-tax movements tied to abortion, war, and distrust in government. They also unpack the cultural shift from taxes as a civic duty to something to be avoided or even bragged about, as seen in Donald Trump's infamous comment on dodging taxes. Throughout the episode, Braunstein sheds light on how Americans' attitudes toward taxation reveal deeper fault lines around democracy, governance, and belonging.

A Pride event. Armed neo-Nazis. And a police escort that sparked national outrage.In June 2019, Detroit's Motor City Pride festival was disrupted by members of the National Socialist Movement—a neo-Nazi group—who marched through the event openly carrying firearms, tearing apart Pride flags, and hurling racist and homophobic slurs. Police officers formed a protective barrier around the group, escorting them through the crowd while pushing back counter-protesters. The disturbing images of Black officers shielding white supremacists in a majority-Black city ignited fierce backlash and raised urgent questions about who law enforcement truly protects. This episode of Beers With Queers dives into the events of that day, unpacking the deep tensions between the LGBTQ+ community and law enforcement. We examine how the police response mirrored broader patterns of systemic bias, and why the legacy of the Stonewall uprising still resonates. From the rise of armed hate groups at Pride events to the ongoing struggle for queer safety and visibility, we explore a chilling chapter in LGBTQ+ true crime history.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

It's the Cabbage Patch craze, replicated, updated and done all over again. Little thingees in boxes that influencers put on their bags. Why? Is this demon activation? Not hating, just not understanding. If you don't have detractors, you're not doing anything good. Some George Floyd details will shock us. All those funerals. Let's secure the elections that are coming. The Red Wedding op messed things up. Desperate coverups and hiding past evidence is what's happening. Mossad infiltrated using Fauci and stolen Covid data. Tina Peters was setup, and had to go to jail. Don't read scripts, write them. Who's a cat lady, with A.D.D.? Human beings have been cultivated to accept an altered reality. Sad, pathetic and insane. The truth doesn't need lipstick. Yes, George Floyd was involved in printing duplicate ballots. That's why they killed him. The CCP had a deal made. Strange that paper plants were catching fire around the election. Karl Rove and Ted Cruz helped steal the election. It's a circle jerk with the MSM and influencers. The greedy bastards want blood. Israel funded the VAXXX and the panic. The old order is going down hard, and the normies are going to be shocked. We should all be prepared to help.

Jen Psaki looks at how we arrived at today's Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions, from Donald Trump's unpopular policies, frequently unlawful executive orders, and Republican lemming Congress, to the state attorneys general defending rights and the rule of law, and the millions of Americans who have been organizing against Trump. That organizing is going to be useful as the Supreme Court has left the door open on using class action lawsuits to oppose Trump's orders.
Stonewall. They say it was the spark that set the fire ablaze. The start of the modern LGBTQ movement. Protests and riots that lasted for days in defense of gay rights. And from it, came gay pride parades, gay pride months, days, and celebrations far from the United States, in cities around the world.

The relationship between Fox News and Donald Trump is not just close; it can be profoundly influential. Trump frequently responds to segments in real time online—even to complain about a poll he doesn't like. He has tapped the network for nearly two dozen roles within his Administration—including the current Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host. The network is also seen as having an outsized impact on his relationship with his base, and even on his agenda. Most recently, it's been reported that Fox News' coverage of the Iran-Israel conflict played a role in Trump's decision to enter that fight. And while the network's right-wing commentators—from Sean Hannity to Laura Ingraham to Mark Levin—tend to grab the most headlines and stand as the ideological coloring of the network, “Special Report,” Fox's 6 P.M. broadcast, anchored by Bret Baier, is essential to the conservative-media complex. Baier draws more than three million viewers a night, at times surpassing legacy brands like “CBS Evening News,” despite being available in half as many homes. Baier insists on his impartiality, but his network's reputation as an outlet for the right and its connection to President Trump himself can make his job representing the news arm of the network more challenging. And, when it comes to Trump and his relationship to the media, Baier tells David Remnick, “I think it is this cat-and-mouse game. You know, for all of the things he says about the media . . . he's reaching out and doing interviews with the same people he says are nasty.”
