The deadly immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota, where local communities put themselves on the frontline to resist what amounts to an occupation, has led to trans and queer people being violently detained and retraumatized. Minnesota is where things have boiled over now, but it's far from the only place where this remains a continual threat. Today, Imara is joined by two guests to think through what safety for trans people who want to oppose ICE can look like. First up is Jess Braverman, the Legal Director of Gender Justice, a Minnesota-based organization dedicated to fighting back against the legal and structural barriers that trans people face in the Midwest and beyond. Then, Imara chats with Seal Dwyer, a therapist and community organizer from St. Cloud, Minnesota, about the ways queer people can step up for other marginalized communities.This week's trans joy features trans-owned adult retail shop Smitten Kitten in Minneapolis, which has transformed its space into a donation center for community members in need.

College newspapers are often on shoestring budget, and at the same time they’re a vitally important source of information — especially for their student readers. At the University of Oregon’s The Daily Emerald and Portland State University’s The Vanguard, reporters have been tear-gassed while covering immigration protests. Though reporters at Oregon State University’s The Daily Barometer have not faced that challenge, the editor-in-chief says the paper would like to be prepared for that situation if it arises. All three papers also cover stories in the community that affect the campus. Managing these competing priorities with limited resources can be a major challenge. We get more details from the editors-in-chief at the University of Oregon, Oregon State University and Portland State University: Tarek Anthony, Jenna Benson and Noah Carandanis.

And so ends this tale of A Knight of the Nine Kingdoms. Help us say goodbye to Dunk, Egg, Sweetfoot, Ser Arlan, and a bunch of other characters who actually aren't coming back for the third time. ---- Reminder: You can and should still contact your congresspeople to not only add guardrails around ICE but to defund (and dismantle) them. Find and call your congresspeople by phoning the Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121 All you have to do is say the name of your Senator or Representative, and you'll be directed to their congressional office. Not sure who represents you in Congress or how to find them? You can also find more of their contact information and their name on this site: https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member Besides calling Congress, if you're not sure what you can do, here are some more actions you can take, in no particular order: Get involved with mutual aid (this will differ depending on where you're based, so we didn't include any links) Donate to mutual aid or to organizations such as the ACLU, RAICES, National Immigration Project, Legal Aid Justice Center or local orgs that may need more support. Find a local rapid response effort and save their number to your phone. Know what to look for and what to report. Protest. Attend a bystander training or response training. Pressure local officials, employers, and landlords to refuse to cooperate with ICE. This is by no means an exhaustive list. Other actions you can take exist. Please do what you can. ----- Eliana's reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/glass_table_girl Eliana's blog: https://themanyfacedblog.wordpress.com/ Chloe's twitter: https://twitter.com/liesandarbor Chloe's blog: liesandarborgold.com Intro "Folk Round" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

From the publisher: "Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and what the unsung heroes of social movements past can teach us about navigating our chaotic worldIn this timely new book in Beacon's successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today's climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall expands how to think about protest through sharing select historical moments and revealing the role of key players involved in those efforts.Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those examples of protest include those of Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018.Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that not only is dissent meaningful and impactful but is an essential tool for eliciting long lasting change."Gloria Browne-Marshall's website can be found here: https://www.browne-marshall23.com/Information on Gloria Browne-Marshall's book can be found here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770181/a-protest-history-of-the-united-states-by-gloria-j-browne-marshall/Gloria Browne-Marshall is on social media here: https://www.instagram.com/gbrownemarshall/?hl=enAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Herrberg, Anne www.deutschlandfunk.de, Das war der Tag

Bob Frantz takes you through the stories that matter the most on the morning of 02/24/26.

Zombie (1976) by Fela Anikulapo Kuti & Africa 70 is one of the most ferocious and politically confrontational albums in the history of African music. Built on Fela's signature Afrobeat—long, hypnotic grooves driven by layered percussion, cycling bass lines, stabbing horns, and call-and-response vocals—the album functions as both a musical marathon and a blistering act of protest.The title track, which takes up most of the record, is a biting satire aimed at the Nigerian military. Fela portrays soldiers as mindless “zombies,” trained only to obey commands without thought or conscience. Delivered in a mix of pidgin English and Yoruba-inflected phrasing, the lyrics are simple, repetitive, and intentionally chant-like, allowing the message to hit with relentless force as the groove stretches on. The band locks into a tense, almost militaristic rhythm, while the horns punctuate the song like alarms, underscoring the sense of confrontation and mockery.Musically, Zombie is a masterclass in controlled intensity. Africa 70 plays with absolute precision, maintaining deep-pocket funk while slowly building pressure over extended runtimes. Rather than chasing variation, the music thrives on repetition as resistance, using subtle shifts in rhythm and horn lines to keep the listener engaged while reinforcing the song's political stance.The album's impact went far beyond music. Its release directly provoked Nigeria's military regime, culminating in a violent attack on Fela's Kalakuta Republic compound—a moment that cemented Zombie as a cultural and political flashpoint. Today, the album stands as a towering example of how music can function as protest, satire, and communal rallying cry, embodying Fela Kuti's belief that sound itself could be a weapon against oppression.Website Support the show Contact

How do believers respond to the situation in Iran? In this episode, Scott Dunford talks with “Sam,” an ABWE missionary serving Persian and Iranian communities, about the crisis gripping Iran. Looking at ancient Persia's biblical roots, home of Daniel and Esther, to the 1979 Islamic Revolution that installed a Shiite theocracy, Iran's story is both historic and volatile. Sam explains the regime's ideology, the nationwide uprisings across hundreds of cities, and the crushing reality facing ordinary Iranians amid economic collapse and violent repression. Yet in the shadows of persecution, the gospel is advancing. Iran's underground house church movement continues to grow despite infiltration, imprisonment, and the killing of pastors and believers. Drawing from firsthand connections inside the country, Sam calls the global church to pray, stand with suffering Christians, and boldly engage Iranian neighbors with truth and hope. Key Topics Iran's biblical and ancient Persian heritage The 1979 Islamic Revolution and rise of the ayatollahs Shiite apocalyptic theology and its political implications Widespread protests and violent government crackdowns Economic crisis, corruption, and regional proxy conflicts The growth of Iran's underground house church movement Practical encouragement for connecting with Iranian neighbors *The views expressed in this episode are those solely of the participants and do not necessarily align with the views of ABWE or all of its representatives.

Violence and geopolitical tensions deepen in Iran as student protests erupt on university campuses, clashing with regime militia while pro-regime crowds burn U.S. and Israeli flags. The unrest comes as Tehran warns that any U.S. military strike including a so-called limited attack would be treated as full-scale aggression. The escalating rhetoric unfolds amid rising international pressure, with President Donald Trump weighing military options and both sides preparing for renewed talks in Geneva over diplomatic proposal aimed at preventing further escalation. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr. Thamar Gindin from the Haifa University EZRI center about the unfolding situation. (photo: F240520CG32/flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
