Ralph welcomes six authors to discuss their books: “Beyond Nuclear” founder Linda Gunter; trial lawyer Sean Simpson; law professor Elizabeth Burch; naturalist David Schmidt; industrial hygienist Marc Axelrod; and educator and advocate Jonathan Kozol.Linda Gunter is the founder of the US-based non-profit Beyond Nuclear and serves as its international specialist. Previously, she was a journalist at USA Network, Reuters, and The Times. She launched, and writes for Beyond Nuclear's online magazine, Beyond Nuclear International. And she is the author of No To Nuclear: Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives, Derails Climate Progress and Provokes War.We need to reduce the most carbon, the fastest, for the least cost—and that's renewables every time. But it's also an issue of: as we divert funds towards nuclear power (new reactors, which are not here now, they're just aspirational ideas on paper, none of the designs have certifications or licenses yet) as we divert time and our money towards waiting for something that will perhaps take a decade or two (or never) to materialize, and as we squeeze out renewables in the process, what do we do? We continue to burn fossil fuels. So actually, choosing nuclear as an answer to climate makes the climate crisis worse.Linda GunterSean Simpson is an attorney specializing in civil jury trials, representing individuals who have been harmed by someone else's carelessness or intentional wrongdoing. He is the author of Punitive Damages: The Lawyer's Tool for Shaping Society.[Punitive damages are] typically not covered by insurance. But oddly enough, there's a trend coming now where these corporations—because they're in control, we've let them have the reins, and now they're getting insurance companies to sell them coverage to cover their punitive damages, which is totally a 180. If somebody else is going to pay your punishment for you, it's not going to sting your rump if somebody gets spanked on somebody else's behind.Sean SimpsonElizabeth Burch is a professor at the University of Georgia School of Law, and co-author of Perceptions of Justice in Multidistrict Litigation: Voices from the Crowd. She is the author of The Pain Brokers: How Con Men, Call Centers, and Rogue Doctors Fuel America's Lawsuit Factory.Imagine that you are sitting in your kitchen and you get a phone call one night. And you answer, and the person on the other end of the line knows an inordinate amount of information about you—they know your name, they know your birth date, they know the name of your doctor, the name of your hospital, the date and type of medical implant that you had put in you. And then they tell you that you have a ticking time bomb in you. And if you don't have this removed immediately (that in this case was pelvic mesh, which is designed to deal with incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse) that you are going to die. But not to worry, they are setting up appointments down in South Florida to have the mesh removed. What they don't say is all of the important things.Elizabeth BurchDavid Schmidt is lifelong San Francisco Bay Area resident, naturalist, and environmental historian. He worked as a writer in the public affairs office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in San Francisco from 1991 to 2021, led dozens of hikes for the Greenbelt Alliance in the region's extensive public parklands, and volunteered on habitat restoration projects for the Golden Gate National Parks and the California Native Plant Society. He is the author of San Francisco Bay Area: An Environmental History.I think [the environmental movement in the Bay Area] is the most successful regional environmental movement in US history. Its victories have had a tremendous impact on protecting the natural landscape, the agricultural landscape. And this is a landscape that is famous for its scenic beauty. It's among the world's most biodiverse landscapes with more than a thousand species of plants and wildlife. And persistence pays off. That is the theme that comes across time and again with environmental victories is: persistence pays off.David SchmidtMarc Axelrod is an award-winning front line industrial hygienist and workplace safety professional. He has developed and implemented programs to protect people from industry's most hazardous technologies. He has worked for employers including Boeing, Kaiser Permanente, UCLA and the City of Beverly Hills. He is the author of The Flame Bucket: Adventures in Workplace Safety.You can lie down in the flame bucket and stop a [rocket] launch, but you can only do it once. So I decided that we had a very risky program [at the city of Beverly Hills]. It was for testing our commercial drivers for alcohol and drugs. And somehow they got a big percentage of them, almost a third of them, got left out of the program. And I can see, being backstage, what happens in city government where people leave and people come and how these kinds of things can occur. But when they do happen, what you've got to do is stop everything, blame the people that left, and then fix it right away. But this program—even though people knew that there was a big gap in it, they just didn't want to fix it. But I knew as City Safety Officer, I was responsible. So after months of delay, I said, “Listen, these drivers can't drive anymore. They can't do their safety functions without a clearance test from our drug and alcohol program.” And so that got their attention, and we quickly fixed the program, and I got a lot of thank yous. And then a few days later, I was fired.Marc AxelrodJonathan Kozol is a leading advocate for child-centered learning, equality, and racial justice in our nation's schools, and he travels and lectures about educational inequality and racial injustice. Mr. Kozol is the author of nearly a dozen books about young children and their public schools, including Death at an Early Age, An End to Inequality: Breaking Down the Walls of Apartheid Education in America, and We Shall Not Bow Down: Children of Color Under Siege: An Invocation to Resistance.My book is not simply a polite description of these problems. It's probably the most militant book I've ever written. It's an open call for militant resistance. And, you know, I get condemned for that, but I'm not afraid to say that I'm an unregenerate activist, and I'm too old to change my stripes.Jonathan KozolNews 5/1/26* Perhaps the biggest news of the week is the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which preserved majority-minority congressional districts. In practice, this ruling gives conservative Southern states license to draw these districts out of existence. Jonathan Cervas, a political scientist at Carnegie-Mellon University who has served as a special master in multiple Voting Rights Act cases, is quoted in AP saying “The Voting Rights Act as a means to protect minority voters from vote dilution is essentially dead.” In the Washington Post, NAACP President Derrick Johnson called the decision “a devastating blow to what remains of the Voting Rights Act, and a license for corrupt politicians who want to rig the system by silencing entire communities,” and “a major setback for our nation and…the hard-won victories we've fought, bled, and died for.” In practice, this ruling is sure to set off a new round of redrawing congressional districts, likely resulting in a net gain of 12 seats – half of the Southern Section 2 districts – for the GOP. In Louisiana itself, CNN reports Governor Jeff Landry has halted House primaries, where “Early voting was scheduled to begin Saturday and overseas ballots had already gone out.” Moreover, “Democratic Rep. Cleo Fields, whose district is at the center of the Supreme Court's redistricting decision, said…Landry had told him he anticipated issuing an executive order to suspend the House election and call a new one.”* Speaking of Southern congressional districts, in Florida's 20th district, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has “defiantly” filed to run again in the special election for her former district, per NOTUS. Cherfilus-McCormick resigned her seat in Congress last week just minutes before the House Ethics Committee was scheduled to “recommend punishment on an array of charges.” She had previously been found guilty of “25 ethics violations, including allegedly stealing $5 million dollars in federal disaster-aid funds used to bolster her 2021 campaign,” following an extensive investigation running for two years and including “issuing 58 subpoenas, interviewing 28 witnesses and reviewing over 33,000 documents.” Elijah Manley, the young progressive running for the seat, is quoted saying “Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned in disgrace moments before her colleagues were set to expel her from Congress…The last thing our community needs is a second round of chaos and instability. She should focus on her legal troubles.”* In more positive news from Congress, Rep. Greg Casar announced this week that the Congressional Progressive Caucus he chairs is issuing a new Affordability Agenda, bringing together a slew of bills sponsored by progressives – on topics ranging from housing to groceries to prescription drugs and more – into a unified package. In an introduction, the Caucus emphasizes that “Americans are facing a cost-of-living crisis and…At the same time, Democrats are searching for a vision that wins back the trust of working families and provides a mandate to deliver the big changes our country needs in 2026.” The question now is whether the Democratic Party will take up this banner and run with it or once again spurn their progressive base.* Meanwhile, the Trump administration is occupied with their continuing efforts to persecute comedians for anodyne jokes. The latest on this front is the Federal Communications Commission ordering the Walt Disney Company's ABC to seek early broadcast license renewals for the eight TV stations it owns, following a joke about Melania Trump on Jimmy Kimmel's late night show, NPR reports. The joke, a “mock speech for an alternative White House Correspondents' Dinner,” which went “Our first lady Melania is here. So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” aired three days before the actual White House Correspondents' Dinner and the corresponding security threat. Kimmel has stressed that the joke was about the age difference between the President and First Lady “not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination. And they know that.” FCC Commissioner Anna M. Gomez, sole Democrat still on the commission, issued a statement calling this “the most egregious action this FCC has taken in violation of the First Amendment to date…As part of its ongoing campaign of censorship and control, the White House called publicly for the silencing of a vocal critic, and this FCC has now answered that call.”* Another scandalous act of corruption from inside the federal government came to light this week with Gannon Ken Van Dyke, a special operations soldier stationed at Fort Bragg being charged with insider trading. Specifically, Van Dyke is charged with three counts of violating the Commodity Exchange Account, one count of wire fraud and one count of an unlawful money transaction for using classified government information to win over $400,000 via prediction betting site Polymarket vis-a-vis the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, per the Hill. U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton, also heading up the prosecution of President Maduro, is quoted saying “Prediction markets are not a haven for using misappropriated confidential or classified information for personal gain.” For their part, Polymarket has announced tightened insider trading rules, but continues to insist that “When we identified a user trading on classified government information, we referred the matter to the DOJ & cooperated with their investigation,” and that Van Dyke's arrest is “proof the system works.”* In more news related to Latin America, a new poll shows leftist Senator and presidential candidate Iván Cepeda with a substantial lead, according to the City Paper Bogotá. In polls of the first round, Cepeda drew 44.3%, while his rivals, Abelardo de la Espriella and Paloma Valencia drew 21.5% and 19.8% respectively, an impressive showing for Valencia who has nearly doubled her support since the last poll was taken. In the second round, polling shows Cepeda besting both rivals, 54.6% to 42.6% against de la Espriella and a narrower 51.2% versus 46.6% against Valencia. A Cepeda victory would continue the leftward trend in Colombian politics begun with the election of Gustavo Petro in 2022, a remarkable turnaround for one of the most stalwart conservative countries in the region.* Elsewhere on the globe, a new poll shows Jeremy Corbyn – the British left icon, former Labour Party leader and founder of Your Party – in danger of losing his long-held seat in the riding of Islington North. Corbyn, who was first elected to the seat in 1983, was able to keep his seat as an independent MP even after his expulsion from the Labour Party following the hostile takeover of the party by the centrist Keir Starmer regime. Yet now, with Your Party coming apart at the seams, the Greens look poised to capture the seat. However, the Canary notes that this poll only asked voters about their partisan voting intentions, with no mention of individual candidates. This means even if voters in Islington North are more sympathetic to the Greens overall, they could still return Corbyn himself to Parliament. Nevertheless, this poll gives some indication of how successfully the Greens have outmaneuvered Your Party, even in what should be their most solid riding.* Another iconic British public figure – King Charles III – is in America this week for a royal visit in which he addressed a joint session of Congress, met with President Trump and enjoyed a White House dinner. On Wednesday, the King attended a wreath-laying ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City, along with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill and, most strikingly, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. This unlikely pairing has clearly piqued the interest of the press, who asked Mayor Mamdani what he would talk about with the King if they were to have a private moment together. While the duo did not ultimately have a private meeting, Mamdani responded that he would “probably encourage [the King] to return the Kohinoor diamond,” which POLITICO identifies as “an enormous bauble set into a royal crown on display in the Tower of London,” noting that the diamond has “become a point of contention between England and India.”* In more local news, with the protracted California gubernatorial primary on the horizon at last, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees or IATSE, has thrown their weight behind progressive billionaire Tom Steyer, Variety reports. This piece notes Steyer's pledge to keep film and television production in Los Angeles along with his outspoken criticism of the merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. as well as his proposal to levy a tax on AI computations and use the proceeds to “fund training for displaced workers.” IATSE represents around 50,000 workers in California and 130,000 workers nationwide. Steyer has amassed considerable union support in his bid for perhaps the second most powerful political executive position in the country after the presidency, including the California Teachers Association, the California Federation of Teachers, and the California Nurses Association. Steyer's closest Democratic rival in the open primary, former Congressman, state Attorney General and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra is racking up endorsements as well, including from Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California and powerful California politicianss such as Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas. With a close race between the top four leading Democrats and Republicans, the June 2nd primary is sure to conclude with a photo finish.* Finally, in Washington DC, the Democratic Mayoral primary continues to grow more acrimonious. This week, former Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, the candidate backed by corporate donors and the DC political establishment, criticized progressive Councilmember Janeese Lewis-George in a fundraising email for supposedly accepting “dark money from outside interest groups.” Which groups you may ask? Local unions, representing tens of thousands of DC workers, including local branches of the AFL-CIO, UFCW, transit workers, teachers, the building trades and more. In a stinging rebuke, the unions excoriated McDuffie for his “disturbing pattern of anti-union talking points and votes” including opposition to wage increases for DC restaurant and child-care workers – while simultaneously accepting donations from “MAGA developers…[and] utility and energy executives.” Moreover, Axios reports Safe & Affordable DC, a labor-aligned super PAC, is launching a half-million dollar ad blitz attacking McDuffie on his record of favoritism towards the utilities at a moment when bills are higher than ever. Tensions mounted even higher this week, when the D.C. Office of Campaign Finance opened an investigation to determine whether Lewis George's campaign is collaborating too closely with her union allies – an allegation she has dismissed as “baseless.” It is worth noting that DC progressives have had this accusation leveled at them in the past, only for it to indeed prove baseless. Expect this race to get more heated, and more expensive, the closer we get to the June 16th primary.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

1. Republican Tax Cuts Framed as Major Economic Wins Recent tax legislation by Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers, have significantly reduced tax burdens. Highlighted provisions include: No tax on tips, overtime, car loans, and Social Security income Creation of “Trump accounts” for children There are immediate, tangible benefits to working‑class Americans, seniors, and service workers. Democrats would have planned massive tax increases had they remained in power. 2. Delayed Impact of Tax Policy Tax cuts often feel delayed because benefits are most visible when people file returns. April tax refunds are used as proof that these policies are now producing results. 3. Democratic Party Characterized as Extremist The Democratic Party is described as: Pro‑open borders Hostile to law enforcement Driven by socialist or Marxist ideology The party no longer represents working Americans but instead prioritizes illegal immigrants and radical causes. 4. Tom Steyer and ICE Controversy Tom Steyer (billionaire Democrat) is criticized for stating that, as California governor, he would arrest or prosecute ICE agents. This would violate federal law Governors lack authority to prosecute federal officers Steyer could himself face federal criminal charges Historical comparisons are drawn to segregation‑era resistance to federal enforcement. 5. Law Enforcement and Federal Supremacy The podcast outlines specific U.S. criminal statutes to argue that: Interfering with federal officers is illegal State officials would lose immunity The federal government could intervene, even militarily, if necessary A recent case involving a judge convicted for aiding an undocumented immigrant is cited as precedent. 6. New York Wealth Taxes and Mamdani New York mayoral figure Mamdani is criticized for proposing a luxury property tax on second homes over $5 million. The proposal is: Punitive toward success Vindictive toward wealthy individuals (especially conservatives) Likely to accelerate business and resident flight from New York Ken Griffin and Citadel are used as examples of potential job losses if firms leave the city. 7. Wealth Redistribution as Ideological Motivation Democratic leaders: Promote redistribution over economic growth Downplay or dismiss business flight Mamdani’s comments about global inequality is a support for international wealth redistribution.

This Day in Legal History: Lincoln is Shot at Ford's TheatreOn April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre by John Wilkes Booth, an act that would alter the trajectory of Reconstruction and American legal history. Lincoln's life story makes the moment even more striking: born in poverty in a Kentucky log cabin, largely self-educated, and rising through persistence rather than privilege, he embodied a form of democratic possibility rare among world leaders. Over time, his legal and political thinking evolved in meaningful ways, particularly on questions of equality and civil rights. While early in his career he held more limited views, the Civil War years reshaped his outlook, pushing him toward support for Black suffrage and, by some accounts, openness to broader enfranchisement, including for women.Frederick Douglass, who met with Lincoln during the war, captured this complexity well, noting that Lincoln was “preeminently the white man's President,” yet also “the first to show any respect for the rights of the black man.” Douglass emphasized that Lincoln's greatness lay not in perfection, but in growth—his capacity to move, under pressure and moral reflection, toward justice. By April 1865, Lincoln was publicly advocating limited Black voting rights, particularly for Black soldiers and educated men, a position that suggested further expansion might follow in his second term.That possibility was cut short on the night of April 14, when Booth entered the presidential box during a performance and fired a single shot at close range. Lincoln died the following morning, and with him vanished a moderating but increasingly progressive force in Reconstruction policy. In the years that followed, many of the shortcomings we associate with Reconstruction—including the narrowing of federal protections seen in cases like United States v. Cruikshank—took hold in a political environment Lincoln never had the chance to shape. His assassination opened the door to a more fractured and often less protective approach to civil rights enforcement.A little-known but striking footnote to this story involves Edwin Booth, the brother of Lincoln's assassin, who months earlier had unknowingly saved the life of the president's son, Robert Todd Lincoln. At a crowded train platform in Jersey City, Robert slipped and fell between the train and the platform just as the car began to move. Edwin Booth, standing nearby, quickly grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to safety, preventing what could have been a fatal accident. The two men did not recognize each other at the time, and Booth only later learned whose life he had saved. The incident has since taken on a symbolic quality in legal and historical writing, illustrating the strange intersections of fate surrounding the Lincoln family in the days leading up to April 1865.Legally and historically, April 14 stands as a hinge moment: not only the loss of a president, but the loss of a developing constitutional vision. Lincoln's trajectory suggests that Reconstruction might have unfolded differently under his continued leadership, particularly on voting rights and federal protection of equality. Douglass later reflected that Lincoln's legacy should be judged not by where he began, but by how far he traveled. That journey—from humble origins to an evolving commitment to equality—remains central to understanding both the promise and the unfinished work of American law.After his death, Abraham Lincoln's body was carried on a funeral train that retraced, in reverse, the route he had taken to Washington as president-elect in 1861, passing through many of the same stations and drawing massive crowds at every stop. The train's journey from Washington, D.C. to Springfield became a rolling national mourning, with citizens lining the tracks to pay their respects to the fallen leader. In a deeply symbolic sense, the trip marked the completion of Lincoln's final journey—returning him to the place where his political life had taken root, even as the nation he led struggled to carry forward the work he unwittingly left unfinished.President Donald Trump announced plans to nominate Matthew Schwartz, his personal lawyer in the New York hush money case, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Schwartz is a longtime partner at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and joined Trump's legal team in 2025 to handle the appeal after prior attorneys moved into government roles. Trump praised Schwartz as a strong opponent of government overreach and highlighted his experience in high-level federal and state litigation. In addition to the criminal appeal, Schwartz is also representing Trump in a civil fraud case brought by Letitia James, where his team recently urged the state's highest court to dismiss the claims as politically motivated. Schwartz previously clerked for Samuel Alito and worked at Cravath Swaine & Moore LLP, and he is a graduate of Columbia Law School.Trump Taps Personal Attorney for Second CircuitAn Illinois jury in Cook County added $17 million in punitive damages to an earlier $53 million award against Abbott Laboratories in a case brought by four mothers whose premature infants developed necrotizing enterocolitis after being fed the company's formula. The jury previously found in favor of the plaintiffs on claims including failure to warn, negligence, and product defect, awarding individual damages based on the harm suffered by each child, all of whom survived but face lasting health complications.Plaintiffs argued they were not informed of the risks associated with the formula and would have made different feeding decisions had they known. Abbott disputed liability, maintaining that its products are safe and that scientific evidence does not support a causal link between its formula and the condition, and said it plans to appeal. The trial judge allowed punitive damages after finding evidence the company may have withheld risk information, and also criticized testimony suggesting mothers should not be told about such risks. The case is part of broader, ongoing litigation over infant formula, with mixed outcomes in courts across the country.Ill. Jury Adds $17M Punitive Award To Baby Formula Verdict - Law360In my column for Bloomberg this week, I argue that new IRS guidance on opportunity zones largely revives the original program from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act without addressing its core flaws—and may even worsen them. While the framework still aims to direct private capital into distressed communities through tax incentives, the updated rules expand where zones can be drawn and lower investment thresholds, particularly in rural areas. In practice, that means more projects will qualify, but fewer are likely to deliver the kind of transformative impact the policy was designed to achieve.The first iteration showed that investment tended to flow toward already developing areas with stronger returns, not the communities most in need, and the new guidance does little to change that incentive structure. Governors retain broad discretion in selecting zones, a feature that previously led to politically influenced designations rather than data-driven ones. By easing standards like the “substantial improvement” requirement, the revised rules make it easier for incremental upgrades—not meaningful redevelopment—to receive tax benefits. As a result, the program risks continuing to function more as a subsidy for already viable projects than as a tool for economic revitalization. I suggest that a more effective approach would tie both zone designation and tax benefits to measurable outcomes like housing growth, job creation, or business investment, while reducing discretionary selection in favor of objective economic criteria.

Send us Fan MailA river can look calm and still be a trap. We drop into the Solomon River valley in 1857, where the U.S. Army launches what many consider the first true campaign against the Plains Indians in this series: the Cheyenne Campaign of 1857, better known as the Battle of Solomon Fork in northwest Kansas. The stakes are bigger than a single clash. This is the collision between a mobile Cheyenne world built on buffalo hunting, raiding, and shifting boundaries and a United States determined to impose fixed lines, enforce policy, and protect overland migration routes. We walk through the pressure cooker that builds after the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, when rising immigrant traffic and wagon-train attacks trigger reprisals and then retaliation. With Secretary of War Jefferson Davis demanding punishment, Colonel Edwin V. “Bull” Sumner takes a stripped-down “scout in force” into Cheyenne country, leaning on speed, discipline, and a mix of units that includes 1st Cavalry, infantry support, prairie howitzers, and Indigenous scouts like Pawnee and Delaware trackers. The heart of the story comes from soldier Robert E. Peck, whose eyewitness detail turns a textbook campaign into a lived experience: night fires, exhausting trails past abandoned villages, and the moment Cheyenne warriors mount and form a bold line across the valley. Then Sumner makes the choice that defines the fight, ordering a saber charge that stuns opponents who expected a gun battle at distance. We end with the brutal intimacy of close-quarters combat and the unanswered question of what “success” even means in a frontier war built to terrify and control. If you care about U.S. Army history, the Cheyenne Indian Wars, and the real mechanics of conflict on the Great Plains, listen now, then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review.

Today, Hunter was joined by Samantha Pourciau of the Promise of Justice Initiative to discuss litigation they are brining to end the "Farm Line" at Angola State Prison. On previous episodes, the show has explored how Louisiana's mass incarceration system is rooted in the state's slave holding, colonial past. Few practices are more reminiscent of that past than the "farm line." This immoral practice forces men to labor in brutal, dangerous conditions for the sole purpose of sadistic punishment. Samantha joins the show to discuss their upcoming trial that aims to end the practice once and for all.   Guest: Samantha Pourciau, Senior Staff Attorney, Promise of Justice Initiative   Resources: Read the report Punitive by Design: The Farm Line at Louisiana State Penitentiary   More Coverage on the Suit https://promiseofjustice.org/news/incarcerated-farm-line-workers-win-class-certification https://vimeo.com/877204358?fl=pl&fe=sh https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fe0e9cce6e50722511b03cc/t/66fc02c82b34224736f02cf5/1743624596616/2024.09.30+RELEASE+Farm+Line+Class+Cert+Filed.pdf https://www.wwno.org/law/2026-01-13/angola-prison-farm-line-suit-becomes-class-action Read the Complaint https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fe0e9cce6e50722511b03cc/t/66427a930927131a043029e9/1715632788191/21%2C+2023.12.15+AMENDED+COMPLAINT.pdf Find PJI's Socials https://www.instagram.com/justicespromise/ https://www.facebook.com/promiseofjustice https://www.facebook.com/promiseofjustice https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMj-FFyyoOf-u0WbH-A6AGg https://www.linkedin.com/company/pjinola       Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patreon www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

Lauren shares how policies and procedures act like an organization's neural pathways, shaping safety, trust, and overall regulation. Punitive or confusing policies create anxiety, while clear and compassionate ones build stability and support.She explains the difference between stress-driven and safety-driven policies and offers simple steps to make them more regulating. Lauren encourages listeners to reflect on their own policies and take one small step toward a safer, more supportive workplace.Sign up for the University of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseLearn about the Staff Sustainability System a proven system to reduce burnout at the rootOther related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:Meetings that Calm, Not DrainThe Regulated Organization: What it Means to be a Regulated OrganizationRetain: Sustaining Staff, Culture, and CapacityReinforce- Ensuring that Change becomes Cultural Muscle Memory  Reset: Moving from Relief to Real TransformationStage 1: Relieve — Stabilizing in Survival ModeWhy Women in Leadership MicromanageUnderstanding Burnout & Turnover in Trauma Impacted OrganizationsThe Regulated Team: Creating Cultures that BreatheHive- The Last Stage of the Five IvesThrive- The Fourth Stage of the Five IvesStrive- The Third Stage of the Five IvesRevive- The Second Stage of the Five IvesSurvive- The First Stage of the Five IvesOur Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingUniversity of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives Website websiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey. Schedule a free discovery call and let us be your guideAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Joining us on the show first of all we had Monique Huley Associate Legal Director and Sohini Mehta Senior Lawyer from the Human Rights law centre, who discussed the proposed Adult Time for Violent Crime Bill and how this undermines Victoria's human rights obligations both under international law and Victoria's own Charter of Human Rights — which provides that children should be treated in an age-appropriate way.  Then, Marisa interviewed Karen Fletcher CEO of flat out which is an independent, not for profit, community-based organisation that aims to prevent women and trans and gender-diverse people from entering and returning to prison. Karen gave an update on the recent Housing that was organised, and also speaked about the work of Flat out, focusing on criminalised women. Every woman, trans and gender diverse person deserves to live a life free from trauma, injustice and violencelence. Finally, Marisa interviewed Lee Carnie ceo from Zerthlaw who gave some more background about the Victorian Government's proposed overhaul of the youth justice system, describing it as rushed, punitive, and dangerously out of step with evidence-based approaches to reducing youth crime.

Content Warning: rape, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Marlee Liss is a survivor,award-winning speaker, victim advocate, somatic educator, and author from Toronto, Canada. She grew up in the arts, but pivoted to social work when she began her college career. It was in Marlee's junior year when her life changed forever; she became the victim of a sexual assault and entered an arduous journey in the criminal justice system as a result. However, three years into that battle for justice, Marlee found an additional path: restorative justice. According to Walden University, quote “Punitive justice is the idea of punishing criminals for their crimes against society or the legal system itself, and is the traditional method of handling crime in the United States. Restorative justice seeks to bring victims of crimes into the justice process. Criminals are asked to take accountability for their wrongdoing by facing those they have wronged... The theory is that criminals owe more than a debt to society—they owe a debt to specific people,” end quote. The two processes are not always mutually exclusive. It's important to note that criminal justice can occur tandemly with restorative justice practices. The Broken Cycle Media team is so very grateful for Marlee's powerful perspective advocacy and time and energy in sharing in this episode.

In this episode of Protect Our Kids, Kristi Bush discusses the critical difference between punitive and restorative language when communicating with children. She emphasizes the importance of using language that fosters understanding and growth rather than fear and punishment. Through various examples, she illustrates how restorative language can help children learn from their mistakes and build trust, while also acknowledging the necessary role of punitive language in certain situations. The conversation highlights the need for a balanced approach to parenting that encourages open communication and emotional regulation.

Reconstructing the Cross: From Punitive Scapegoating  to Divine Nonviolence While many of the ideas and practices handed down to us about God and the church may have shifted, there is something about Jesus we still find compellingly beautiful. Often, after letting go of what wasn't working, we struggle to find a way forward that shapes our lives to mirror the Beloved Community of God.  As we continue our Fall Vision series, Reconstructing Rhythms, guest Anthony Bartlett reveals the cross as pointing to the way of our nonviolent transformation rather than a retributive transaction demanded by God. [2 Corinthians 5:13-21]   Reflection  What traditional explanations of Christ's death have I been given in the past? What if the violence of Jesus' death was the whole point–displaying human violence and the counter-revelation of divine nonviolence? Is it possible for me to accept the revelation of a God of absolute nonviolence? Resource PDF:  Vox Practicing Nonviolence

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of tort law, focusing on the various types of damages, including compensatory, punitive, and nominal damages. It delves into the complexities of calculating damages, the role of vicarious liability, and the distinctions between wrongful death and survival actions. The discussion also covers important defenses such as mitigation of damages and the implications of statutes of limitations and repose. Overall, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding tort law and preparing for related exams.Imagine you're preparing for a torts exam, and one concept stands out as the linchpin of it all: damages. Whether it's negligence or intentional torts, the remedy is crucial. This post explores the intricacies of tort law, focusing on damages and vicarious liability.Compensatory Damages: Compensatory damages aim to address the actual loss or injury. They are divided into economic damages, like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. Understanding the distinction between lost earnings and loss of earning capacity is vital, as the former looks backward while the latter gazes into the future.Punitive and Nominal Damages: Punitive damages serve to punish and deter, requiring proof of an "evil mind." Nominal damages, though symbolic, confirm a legal right was violated, potentially unlocking significant attorney's fees.Vicarious Liability: Vicarious liability holds one party responsible for another's actions due to their relationship. The doctrine of respondeat superior is key, determining if an employer is liable for an employee's torts. The distinction between a frolic and a detour is crucial in assessing liability.Advanced Claims and Defenses: The post delves into wrongful death and survival actions, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between them. It also covers the economic loss rule, maintaining the boundary between tort and contract law, and the statutes of limitations and repose.Tort law is complex, with damages and vicarious liability at its core. Understanding these concepts is essential for anyone studying or practicing law. As the legal landscape evolves, staying informed is crucial. Subscribe now for more insights into the world of law.TakeawaysTort law revolves around remedies, primarily damages.Compensatory damages aim to make the plaintiff whole.Punitive damages serve to punish the defendant and deter future misconduct.Nominal damages are awarded to acknowledge a legal wrong without substantial harm.The collateral source rule prevents defendants from benefiting from the plaintiff's insurance.Future damages must be reasonably certain to occur to be recoverable.Non-economic damages are subjective and often capped by state laws.Vicarious liability holds employers responsible for employees' actions within the scope of employment.Loss of consortium claims are derivative and depend on the main injury claim's success.Statutes of limitations and repose set strict deadlines for filing lawsuits.tort law, negligence, damages, vicarious liability, compensatory damages, punitive damages, wrongful death, survival actions, legal remedies, law exam preparation

Today's class is in Constitutional law, and our study case is Tina Peters. But first, let's discuss the bankers that set it all up. And Israel too. The goal is to divide up the melting pot. It is all happening again as Bibi pulls a fast one. Israel is America. The Peters case had amendments violated and ineffective representation. Our Amicus is damn good. The judge must consider the merits. Denial of procedure was intended to suppress speech. Reaching out to the President. The Ottoman's historically were pissed. The Tina Peters case shows her serious legal injury. District Court made a direct violation. Withholding bail as a punitive measure. AG contradictions exist. There will be no forgiveness in this case. Knowingly and willingly violating the law. The next steps could involve the Department of Justice. Decisions should only be made with a complete map of the law. The Colorado AG is backed up against the wall. Only two possible outcomes exist. It's a great dominatrix that can play a convincing submissive. Authenticity is on the rise. That, with truth, gives us a real voice. Let's band together and really fight for freedom's cause. Then we can all watch them fall.

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the law of remedies, focusing on the distinctions between legal and equitable remedies. It explores the historical context of law versus equity, the various types of legal damages, and the principles governing equitable relief. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding remedies for effective legal practice and offers practical takeaways for law students preparing for exams and future careers.In the complex world of law, understanding the nuances of legal remedies can be daunting. Imagine a scenario where a breach of contract has occurred. What options does the aggrieved party have? This is where the distinction between damages and equitable relief becomes crucial.Damages: Damages are monetary compensations awarded to a party that has suffered loss or injury due to another's actions. As John Doe, a renowned legal expert, puts it, "Damages aim to put the injured party in the position they would have been in had the breach not occurred." This remedy is straightforward and quantifiable, making it a common choice in legal disputes.Equitable Relief: On the other hand, equitable relief involves non-monetary solutions, such as injunctions or specific performance. Jane Smith, a seasoned attorney, explains, "Equitable relief is about fairness and justice, ensuring that the wronged party receives a remedy that truly addresses their unique situation." This type of relief is often sought when monetary compensation is insufficient to rectify the harm done.Understanding the difference between damages and equitable relief is essential for anyone navigating legal challenges. Whether seeking financial compensation or a more tailored solution, knowing your options can make all the difference. Subscribe now to stay informed on legal insights and updates.TakeawaysUnderstanding remedies is crucial for delivering tangible outcomes for clients.Legal remedies primarily involve monetary damages, while equitable remedies focus on fairness and justice.Expectation damages aim to put the plaintiff in the position they would have been in had the contract been performed.Punitive damages serve to punish egregious conduct and deter future wrongdoing.Equitable remedies are discretionary and not granted as a matter of right.Specific performance compels a party to fulfill their contractual obligations as promised.Injunctions can prevent harm and are a powerful tool in equity.Combining legal and equitable claims can provide a comprehensive approach to litigation.The burden of proof for equitable relief is higher than for legal claims.Managing client expectations about remedies is essential for effective legal practice.law of remedies, legal remedies, equitable remedies, damages, specific performance, injunctions, contract law, punitive damages, historical context, law vs equity

Stephens, and we are going to be talking about 10 Conscious Steps to Talking with Kids About Global Crisis. With everything that's going on in the world right now, it's so important to know how to effectively talk to our kids about what's happening and to help them become social change-makers, rather than wanting to turn away from everything scary.I loved this conversation with Desiree. I was inspired by her and the work that she does, and I thought it would be a great overlap to have her come on and talk to us about this topic.On her Instagram, she asks the question: Ever wonder how decolonization and whole self-healing can transform our world? She and I would both agree that adding conscious parenting—or peaceful parenting—to that is really important. It's one way we are changing the world. Slowly, yes, but still changing the world.Hey Desiree, welcome to the podcast.Desiree: Hello. How are you, Sarah?Sarah: Good. I'm so glad! We've crossed paths a couple of times, but we've never really sat down to talk. I'm so glad to have this opportunity.Desiree: I am as well.Sarah: So, tell us about who you are and what you do.Desiree: Okay. Well, my name is Desiree B. Stephens, and I used to open up on TikTok and say, I pathologize whiteness as a system. What I do is believe in dismantling systems through somatic and trauma-informed practices and education. We work on removing shame spirals and touching on the root of the oppression that intersects us all.Sarah: Awesome. I found you—well, I knew you from Yolanda Williams—but I also came across an article you wrote on Substack that someone forwarded to me. That's what we're going to be talking about today.But I was also looking at your Substack, and you write about everything from parenting to history, decolonization, and politics. You cover a lot of really interesting topics. I encourage everyone to check it out—we'll link it in the show notes.The article that really piqued my interest was titled 10 Conscious Steps to Talking with Kids About Global Crisis. This is something I get asked about a lot, and honestly, I've never felt like I had great answers. Now you do! So I'm excited to hear about your steps. I think conscious parents are really struggling with this right now. I know I am, both personally and as a professional.My kids are older, so they have a little more understanding—not that it makes it easier, but at least they can use logic a little bit more. Whereas little kids are like, but why?You opened your article with the line: The world is burning and our children are absorbing the smoke. How do we talk to them about war, injustice, genocide, climate collapse, and economic fear? Just a few light dinner table topics, right?So what inspired you to write this? And then let's get into your ten steps.Desiree: What inspired me was simply that I am a conscious parent. I think we've all traversed different parenting styles over the years. I've been parenting since I was 17 years old. My youngest just started first grade, and over the years I've always had conversations with my children about what's happening in the world.I think where parents struggle is that it's innate to want to protect our children. Protection often looks like insulation. But in this current climate—having parented through the ‘90s and now parenting kids who have access to the entire world—it doesn't matter if we talk about it or not. They're going to find out. They can get on TikTok, and parental controls don't stop that.So I asked myself: how can I do this in a trauma-informed way? How can I honor their bodies? Because, like you said, we can't logic our way through colonization, genocide, starving people, or climate collapse. None of it makes sense.What we can do is trust what our kids are feeling, what they're going through, and what they're hearing from friends. So I began sitting down with them and asking: What did you hear about today? How did that make you feel? Where did that show up in your body?Our bodies tell us something. If they say, “My tummy hurt,” that's anxiety. For example, if a child hears about a school shooting, then suddenly doesn't want to eat and complains of a stomach ache, they're not sick—they're anxious. I can't tell them, You're safe, there's a security guard at school. That doesn't erase their fear.So the question is: how do we process those feelings and help them engage in social justice within a framework that makes sense to them—usually, the home?Sarah: That's such a good point—that none of it makes sense, and that the fear is real. I love that one of your steps is asking them what they already know. But before that, you have a step that I think is so important: start with consent, not control. Can you talk about that?Desiree: I believe in consent in all things. We often talk about consent in the context of sex—like, don't touch me here, that's my no-no square. But consent is much broader. A touch on the shoulder could be the lead-in to inappropriate behavior. Most children who are harmed are hurt by someone they know, who has built trust.So for me, consent extends to all things—including conversations. That ties into the second step, which is: What have you heard? But it begins with consent: Would you like to talk about this today? How are you feeling? Do you have questions?It lets them lead and make a choice. Because sometimes, even I don't want to talk about it. Sometimes I just want to eat dinner or relax, not think about the world burning. And if I feel that way, surely they do too.Sarah: You know what I love about that? I think of my oldest child, who's 24 now. From day one, he carried this existential angst. He cares so deeply about everything we're talking about, but he's always had a hard time putting it down.As he was growing up, I kept saying, It's amazing that you care so deeply and you go to protests, but you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. That's such an important lesson—and it's embedded in your idea of starting with consent.Desiree: Exactly. Right now, I'm in what I call a season of rest, reset, resist. On my Substack, I've been writing lessons on these themes: two on resting, two on resetting, and two on resisting.There's no way this work can be sustainable if we live in constant crisis. If we only focus on the terror, we lose the joy. But joy and rest are also acts of resistance. They are resilience.For example, in my work on decolonization, I remind people that these systems have existed for thousands of years. And yet—we're still here. That should bring joy. It's proof of resilience.White-bodied people who are new to anti-racism work or activism often burn out quickly. They go to every march, every meeting, until they're exhausted. And I ask: When are you just going to take a walk? When are you going to gather with friends and celebrate?This doesn't have to feel like an emergency all the time. That sense of urgency is one of the pillars of supremacy culture. Not everything is urgent. We're still here.Sarah: Yeah.Desiree: And that's why it's so important to balance. Otherwise, kids end up feeling crushed under the weight of global crisis, on top of their own developmental changes. Sometimes the best response is: Okay, baby, breathe.Sarah: Yes. And so, by starting with consent, you give them the choice to say, Tonight I'm just going to play video games, even if there was a school lockdown earlier that day.Desiree: Exactly. That's fine. Because later is coming. These conversations are not going away.Activism has to be sustainable. You have to know your capacity. Not everyone can march. Some people write emails. Some people color with their kids and talk about it during that time. That's valid too.Sarah: I love that.Desiree: Coloring with your kids, reading children around the world books, talking about culture—these are beautiful, simple ways to weave in social justice. It doesn't have to be violent or traumatizing.Sarah: Yes—because if you traumatize people, they shut down. And then nothing gets done.So, your second step is ask, don't assume. Ask them what they've heard, what they know, and how they feel. And your third step is name the reality, not the details. Tell us about that.Desiree: This changes with age. I have children from adulthood down to six years old. So, for example, when my kids ask about expensive sneakers, I explain: They cost $3 to make, using child labor. That's why I won't pay $300 for them.That's naming the reality—without overwhelming them with traumatic details. Similarly, with Gaza, I don't need to show my kids graphic images of starving babies. That's traumatizing. The reality is enough: This is happening. People are suffering.Children don't need trauma dumps. We can speak clearly without overwhelming them. For a younger child, it could be as simple as: Some leaders are hurting people, and some people are standing up to stop it.Sarah: Right. And you use examples at home too, like play-fighting among siblings. One child steps in and says, That's too rough. That's social justice on a small scale.Desiree: Exactly. Small examples at home translate to global understanding. We can show kids that standing up for others matters. And then we help them find their own capacity—whether it's writing letters, talking about it, or making a video.Sarah: Yes. And if you just pour out trauma, kids will shut down.Desiree: Exactly.Sarah: So step four is honor their hidden hives. What does that mean?Desiree: Kids have their own communities, their own secret lives. Online especially, they connect globally—with Palestinian friends, Jewish friends, Congolese friends, kids in red states, kids with MAGA parents. Their reach is global in a way ours never was.So, honoring their hidden hives means respecting that their conversations matter. Ask: What are you and your friends talking about? What do they think? Don't dismiss them as “just kids.” They often understand more than we do.Sarah: Yes! I remember being dismissed by adults as a child, and how frustrating that felt. I had real thoughts and opinions. That's a kind of adult-centrism, and I know that's a theme in your work.Desiree: Exactly. Center kids in their own lives. What matters to them matters—just like what matters to us in our friendships.Sarah: Okay, now step five: Let them see your grief, with boundaries. This is a hard one for me. I cry easily when talking about these topics, but I don't want to traumatize my kids.Desiree: But why do we think crying is traumatizing?Sarah: I guess I worry that if they see me overwhelmed, they'll feel overwhelmed too.Desiree: The opposite can also happen. If you never let them see you grieve, they may feel they have to hold it in as well.Our parents and grandparents grew up in eras of war, enslavement, displacement. They learned to “button it up” and carry on. They raised us to believe there's “no crying in baseball.”But my parenting journey has been about humanizing myself. I don't want my kids to only realize I'm human after I die. If they see me cry about a world in crisis, that teaches them it's okay to feel deeply too.Now, the boundary is important—we don't completely fall apart in front of them. They still need to feel safe. If a parent collapses emotionally, kids may feel like they have to take care of the parent. That's the line we don't want to cross.Sarah: Yes—that's exactly what I was worried about.Desiree: Right. So we want to find that balance of communal care. We take care of each other here, right? Let's set aside a moment for grief. How are you feeling? What are you grieving today?What made you feel sad? What made you feel displaced? What made you feel unheard, unseen, unloved? Let's get into that. Let's feel that for a moment. And then — what could feel different? What could we all do better as a community?This made me feel bad when you said that. I share with my kids: “When you don't do X, Y, and Z, it makes me feel like you don't care about what I think. And that hurts me.” Right? I don't want to be a parent who just seems angry. I want to be clear that I'm hurt. That hurt my feelings.And I love you so much, I care about you so much, that your feelings matter to me — but I also want to matter to you. And that, for me, is communal care.Sarah: You mentioned a couple of sentences back about “what can we do,” which links nicely into your next step: link emotions to actionable compassion.There's that Mr. Rogers quote about whenever anything bad is happening, look for the helpers. And research shows that when you have big emotions without feeling like you can do anything, that's when kids (and adults) turn cynical.So maybe you could give us a couple of examples. You already mentioned going to marches and emailing. But what are some other things you've done with your kids, or that you've seen other people do with their kids, that connect emotions to actionable compassion?Desiree: Well, again, it all ties together. What's your capacity? What are you able to do that's long-term and sustainable?When the George Floyd protests were happening, my eldest was outside. She said, “Absolutely not. I'm not going to march, I'm not going to take risks.” I said, “Okay, but how do you feel? Do you feel like you're making a difference?”She started going out with water and sandwiches. That turned into a nonprofit — Feed the Revolution. Donations poured in. We even had to get a storage unit for all the water and dry goods. That's linking compassion and passion with actionable steps. It was something she could do safely.And that's how you bring in community care. Other people couldn't march, but they could bring food, bring water, or look for the helper.With kids, it might look different. If they have a Discord group, maybe they can have a conversation once a week: What are your thoughts on this? How do you feel? That's activism too. Sharing, course correcting, letting people know, “Hey, that was harmful. Can we do better?”So: What are you feeling? What do you have the capacity for? What's sustainable? And what can we do?Sarah: And you mentioned even some quiet things, like coloring with your kids, learning about kids around the world, lighting a candle at home, making art for peace, or helping someone locally. Even helping actions that aren't tied to a “cause,” but are just about kindness.Desiree: But that is the issue, right? Because then you start raising helpers.The other day, we had some leftover curry. My son Kira said, “I don't want any more… but can we box it up and give it to somebody?” I said, “I love that. Great. Let's microwave some rice, put it in a container, and go outside to share it.”So now he's learning about not wasting food, about climate collapse, about taking care of community. And people often think it has to be big. “Oh, you need to feed 50 people.” But you fed one. That matters.Sarah: Even if it's just your next-door neighbor who doesn't cook much — bring them some food.Desiree: Or the burned-out parent who's doing all the caretaking. How nice would it be to say, “Hey, I got dinner for you. I know you've already fed your kids. Let someone take care of you.”That shows your children you can make a difference without it having to be huge. The fatigue comes from feeling like we need to combat everything at once. That's overwhelming, and overwhelming leads to burnout.Sarah: Right.Desiree: Liberation isn't one-and-done. It isn't a single conversation. It's a practice, a relationship, a rhythm. You're modeling that the truth takes time, and we don't have to rush.Sarah: I love that. It's like conversations about sex, right? You don't have one talk and then you're done. You keep talking as kids grow and change.Desiree: Exactly. When I talk about liberation work and decolonization, it's about creating a culture shift. None of us like to feel lectured to. Making it conversational changes everything. It becomes about solution-finding: there's a problem, what's the solution, what are the steps?That teaches kids that even if a problem can't be completely eradicated, we can do something. Harm reduction matters. How can we create less harm and do more good?Sarah: And it leaves space for thought and choice. For example, my daughter's iPhone screen broke. She wondered if she should just buy a new phone. I told her, “I'm not going to judge you, but my value is: fix what's still good.” It might not be the most practical or cheapest option, but it feels better ethically.So we talked. And then she made her own decision.Desiree: Yes, exactly. It's harm reduction again. And you gave her the choice — you didn't say, “Absolutely not.”Sarah: Right.Desiree: That's powerful.Sarah: Okay, so your next step is build their critical consciousness. This means inviting them to go deeper — asking questions like, “Who benefits from this system? What would fairness look like? What do you wish adults would do differently?”Desiree: Yes. The safest place to practice that questioning is at home. But that's hard in a hierarchical society.Sarah: Right, you're like, “Question other people, not me!” (laughs)Desiree: Exactly. But raising reflective rebels — kids who can think critically, even with us — is essential.We even did this around bedtime. My kids didn't want a set bedtime. I explained why rest matters. Then we co-created a boundary: “Okay, stay up as late as you want, but you have to get up happily, on time, and not be dysregulated at school.”It lasted less than two weeks! They realized for themselves that lack of sleep doesn't work. That's better than me saying “Because I said so.” They learned through experience.Sarah: That's such a good example of co-creating boundaries. What does that look like in the context of activism and social justice?Desiree: It's about recognizing reality. Not everyone is open to these conversations, especially because they're kids, and also because they're Black and neurodiverse. They need to know when to call me in, and when to stand firm with a respectful “no.”For example, my kids don't do homework. I don't want them indoctrinated into an 80-hour work week. They come home to rest, play, and have a balanced life. That's our boundary.Sarah: Yes, that's so good.Desiree: And finally, root it all in relationship, not rhetoric. If I don't trust you, I won't have conversations with you. Punitive parenting “works,” but only out of fear. The opposite of fear is radical love.Our kids need us to see them as human beings and build real relationships with them. That includes repair when we mess up. Restoration is key.Sarah: Yes.Desiree: Parenting is inherently hierarchical, and that creates a power imbalance. It can be abusive if we're not conscious of that. So our goal is to shift from power over to power with. That's how we raise kids who believe in communal power — and who grow up ready to change the world.Sarah: I love that. That's a hopeful place to stop. Thank you so much.Desiree: Thank you.Sarah: One last question I ask all my guests: if you could go back to your younger parent self, what advice would you give?Desiree: Parent the child in front of you. That's the best advice I ever got. Don't parent from your own trauma.Sarah: Beautiful. And where can people find you?Desiree: My Substack is desireebstephens.com— that's Stephens with a PH. I also co-host Parenting Decolonized with Yolanda, and we run a parenting support group. I'll share those links.Sarah: Perfect. We'll put all of that in the show notes. Thank you again.Desiree: Thank you.Sarah: We're all out here trying to change the world. Slowly, but sustainably.Desiree: Absolutely.>> Please support us!!!

In this episode, we delve into the intricate world of negligence, a cornerstone of tort law and a frequent topic in exams. Join us as we explore the essential elements of negligence: duty, breach, causation, and damages. We'll break down complex legal tests, landmark cases like Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., and practical explanations to equip you with the knowledge needed to tackle challenging negligence questions. Whether you're preparing for a law exam or seeking a deeper understanding of tort law, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to mastering negligence. Tune in to gain insights that will help you confidently navigate the complexities of tort law.The core purpose of damages in a personal injury case is to "make the plaintiff whole." This means financial compensation is provided to, as much as possible, put the injured victim back into the position they would have been in if they had not suffered the injury as a result of the defendant's negligence or intentionally bad actions.General damages compensate for abstract, non-financial losses like emotional and physical pain, while special damages repay concrete, financial losses. An example of general damages is pain and suffering, while an example of special damages is past and ongoing medical bills.Punitive damages are awarded to punish defendants for wanton, reckless, or malicious acts, and to discourage similar behavior in the future. They are normally only allowed in negligence cases where the defendant's conduct was more than just ordinary negligence, such as drunk driving.A duty of care is a legal obligation for a defendant to act with a particular standard of conduct to protect others from unreasonable risk of harm. This means all individuals have a general duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid foreseeable harm to others.The "reasonable person standard" is an objective test that asks how a hypothetical, average person of reasonable caution and competence would have behaved under the same circumstances. Courts use this standard to assess whether the defendant's conduct fell below the expected level of care.Actual cause (or cause-in-fact) uses the "but-for" test to determine if the injury would have occurred without the defendant's actions. Proximate cause (or legal cause) is concerned with foreseeability, limiting liability to harms that were a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the defendant's conduct.If the Wright Brothers' invention of the airplane is considered an "actual cause" of 9/11 because the event wouldn't have happened "but for" their invention. However, it is not a "proximate cause" because the 9/11 tragedy was not a reasonably foreseeable consequence of inventing the airplane nearly a century prior.Res ipsa loquitur ("the thing speaks for itself") is a doctrine that allows a jury to infer negligence without direct evidence. It applies when an injury typically doesn't occur without negligence, the instrumentality causing harm was under the defendant's control, and the plaintiff did not contribute to the harm.Comparative negligence reduces a plaintiff's damage award based on their percentage of fault, allowing for some recovery even if partially at fault. Contributory negligence, in contrast, completely bars the plaintiff from recovering any damages if they are found to be even slightly negligent.Two examples of a breach of duty in medical malpractice include a misdiagnosis of a serious condition, such as failing to diagnose cancer despite apparent symptoms, or a medication error, like prescribing an incorrect medication or dosage.

Don't put a fork in the transporter? Someone's taking out Kira's old associates, one by one. Odo needs to learn better data stewardship. Chekov's herbs.

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of tort law, focusing on intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. It delves into the key elements of each category, including the definitions, essential components, and defenses available. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for law school exams and the bar exam, while also addressing modern challenges in tort law.TakeawaysTorts are essential for navigating law school exams and the bar.Intentional torts focus on the defendant's state of mind.The knowledge prong of intent can lead to liability even without desire for harm.Transferred intent allows for liability even if the target changes.Battery requires intent to cause harmful or offensive contact.Negligence involves a duty to avoid foreseeable harm.Contributory negligence can completely bar recovery for plaintiffs.Strict liability applies regardless of the defendant's care.Products liability holds sellers accountable for defective products.Punitive damages aim to punish defendants, not just compensate plaintiffs.torts, intentional torts, negligence, strict liability, legal education, law school, bar exam, civil liability, defenses, tort law

The latest explosive headline about Bruce Harrell's 1996 arrest isn't great news for a mayor who is up for re-election later this year. We discuss the fallout and the fact that a mystery challenger is expected to join that race next week.Speaking of politics, we also discuss Erica's interview with Dionne Foster, who is challenging City Council President Sara Nelson. Foster is challenging Nelson from the left, but some of her positions don't sound that progressive. Is that smart politics?  Also, Republican City Attorney Ann Davison is standing up to the Trump Administration. We debate the merits of that move.   Finally,  the U.S. Small Business Administration is closing its Seattle office to “support President Trump's agenda to secure our borders.” The move implicitly punishes Seattle for calling itself a "sanctuary city." What will it mean for small businesses, and what will the Trump Administration do coming next?    Our editor is Quinn Waller. Send us a text!

In this episode of Passion Struck, I had the pleasure of interviewing James Rhee, a high school teacher turned private equity investor. James shared his inspiring journey, starting from his childhood experience with a red helicopter that taught him the value of kindness and generosity. He discussed his decision to teach high school and later attend Harvard Law School to become a public defender. However, he ultimately pursued a career in private equity. James emphasized the importance of leading with kindness and compassion in both personal and professional life. He highlighted the need to focus on intrinsic motivation rather than external validation and discussed the complexities of human behavior and societal systems. Overall, James's story serves as a reminder to strive for a balance between personal growth, kindness, and making a positive impact on others.James Rhee photos credit Kimberly M.
