Emily Bazelon talks with Yale law professor John Witt about his new book The Radical Fund: How a Band of Visionaries and a Million Dollars Upended America. They explore the remarkable story of the Garland Fund—a small 1920s foundation that bankrolled early work by A. Philip Randolph, and others who would go on to shape the civil rights and labor movements. Witt traces how the fund connected race and class politics, supported the intellectual groundwork for Brown v. Board of Education, and anticipated today's challenges around misinformation, inequality, and political disconnection. He and Bazelon also discuss what lessons progressives might take from this forgotten story of organizing during political exile.

Trump is once again talking about Vladimir Putin — this time setting up a meeting in Budapest to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. That's according to Trump himself, who said the two agreed on a phone call to meet, and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other U.S. officials would begin prep meetings with their Russian counterparts. No date has been set, but Trump described the call as productive.He also mentioned they'd loop in Zelensky during his upcoming White House visit, which adds another layer of complexity. Earlier in the week, Trump floated sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine as leverage. Whether that was serious or just bluster is up for debate, but the message was clear — he's still playing both sides. One thing he did emphasize on Truth Social was how eager Putin seemed to be about post-war trade. According to Trump, that was the real focus — not the war itself, but what comes next.This is the kind of move that makes sense if you assume Putin is trying to preempt whatever message Zelensky hopes to deliver later this week. It's also a reminder that Trump sees all of this through the lens of dealmaking, not diplomacy. He's playing to his base — the voters who see “getting a deal” as a win, regardless of what's actually in it. But as past attempts have shown, any momentum gained by just talking with Putin tends to evaporate as soon as the bombs keep falling.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Shutdown MathSenate Majority Leader John Thune hinted that the White House might walk back some of its shutdown-related moves if Democrats agree to vote for a continuing resolution. He didn't lay out specifics, but the implication was that things like furloughs or aggressive reduction-in-force orders could be reconsidered. Thune said passing a full-year appropriations package would make more clawbacks unnecessary — but until then, it's unclear what Democrats would get in return.The rumor mill is working overtime — and the story making the rounds is that Democrats will vote for the CR, then hold a vote on Obamacare subsidies separately. Chuck Schumer says that's not the plan, but let's be real: it sounds like a deal in the making. Everyone knows the play here. The question is how quickly the Democrats can make it look like they won.At the end of the day, this is all about messaging. Democrats want to go back to their base and say they got something out of this. And if a CR plus a later vote on subsidies is the path to that — well, they'll probably take it. Everything else is just noise.John Bolton IndictedJohn Bolton's been indicted. Eight counts of transmitting and ten counts of retaining national defense information. This case centers around his handling of classified documents tied to his book, which he apparently shared through personal email and notes. The FBI raided his home, and now it's up to the courts.The Biden administration says politics aren't involved, but Bolton's been a vocal Trump critic, which puts this in awkward territory. It comes on the heels of indictments for James Comey and Letitia James — all of them known Trump opponents. In those cases, the Comey case seems flimsy, while the one against Letitia James has more substance. Meanwhile, the Bolton charges had been floating around since before Trump left office in 2021.Here's where I land: this whole mess reflects the same double standard we've seen for years. People working with classified material always say the same thing — if they did what these folks are accused of, they'd be in jail. There has to be a better way to handle these documents. Until then, we'll keep getting stories like this.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:04 - Interview with Tom Joseph00:22:23 - Russia-Ukraine00:24:43 - Shutdown00:26:21 - John Bolton00:28:26 - Interview with Ryan McBeth01:13:29 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In this heartfelt episode of The Sacred Speaks, John Price sits down with longtime spiritual guide and Franciscan friar, Father Richard Rohr. Together they explore the deeper dimensions of happiness and meaning—moving far beyond cultural clichés. Drawing on Richard's decades of integrating psychology, spirituality, and mysticism, the conversation challenges conventional ideas of happiness as mere pleasure or circumstance. Instead, Richard invites us to embrace a “just right mind”—a way of living that balances ego, suffering, and joy. Speaking with candor and humility, he reflects on aging, facing death, and the transformative power of love, community, and humor. This conversation is a profound invitation to shift from sin management to radical compassion and participation in a bigger, joyful universal flow. Key Takeaways True happiness emerges from a “just right mind” that balances enough ego to appreciate life without judgment or denial. Happiness is not external comfort, but the capacity to meet suffering with grace and mindfulness. Radical acceptance and surrender open us to a joy larger than the self. Humor and community sustain lightheartedness and connection in the face of life's challenges.

Whilst on a night out in the summer of 2011, Jacob Dunne made a split second decision to throw a punch that killed James Hodgkinson. After being convicted of manslaughter, Jacob spent 14 months in prison during which time James' parents contacted him to get answers about their son's death. A dialogue began between them and when Jacob was released, Joan and David asked a question that he says saved him: “What are you going do with your life?” That led to him doing his GCSE's and getting a degree, and with James' parents he now campaigns for criminal justice reform to improve the experience of victims and reduce reoffending. Amol and Jacob go into extraordinary detail about his tough upbringing in Nottingham, what happened on that fateful night in 2011, and how – through his relationship with Joan and David - Jacob turned his life around. They also discuss knife crime and why he thinks building stronger relationships is the solution to ending the cycle of violence in some of the most deprived areas of the UK. His story is the subject of a West End play called Punch by James Graham and an award-winning BBC Radio 4 Series, which you can listen to here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000l0jr (00:04:00) What is restorative justice?

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson take a wide-ranging look at Iowa and national politics — from upcoming state budget projections to the philosophical foundations of American government. The discussion opens with a lighthearted studio moment before moving quickly into updates on the 2026 Iowa governor's race and key fundraising developments across Iowa's congressional districts.Chris and John highlight the uncertainty still surrounding the Republican primary for governor, with talk of a potential self-funded candidate preparing to enter the race. They also review the latest fundraising numbers, noting that strong totals reflect Iowa's continuing momentum for conservative candidates who emphasize fiscal responsibility and government restraint.The conversation shifts to the Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) and the economic outlook for Iowa. With some reports suggesting that Iowa is among the states flirting with recession, the hosts break down what to watch for in the next revenue projection. They also preview how those numbers could shape legislative priorities, including ongoing debates about tariffs, farm aid, and the national government shutdown's ripple effects on Iowa's economy.The final half of the episode pivots from policy to philosophy. Chris and John dissect recent academic essays calling for the elimination of U.S. states and the creation of a “unitary” national government. They trace this argument back to the progressive movement of the early 20th century, exposing how the call for centralized power runs counter to the Constitution's design of federalism and individual liberty. The hosts end with a strong defense of limited government, natural rights, and the Founders' vision for enduring freedom.

Zach sits down with Susan and Tim Bratton, a couple who've been together for 35 years and built both a marriage and a business dedicated to helping others experience more fulfilling intimacy. Susan, an internationally recognized intimacy expert, and Tim, her husband and business partner, open up about how their marriage nearly ended before they discovered that great sex and great connection are learnable skills. They discuss their journey from obligation and misunderstanding to joy, exploration, and deep emotional safety. The Brattons talk about how they schedule what they call “erotic play dates,” why they prefer honesty over comfort, and how they use curiosity, compassion, and skill-building to keep passion alive after three decades together. This conversation challenges cultural assumptions about monogamy, sex, and communication, offering a look into what's possible when a couple commits to lifelong learning. Not just about each other, but about love itself. Key Takeaways Intimacy is learnable – Susan and Tim discovered that sexual fulfillment is a skill that can be developed through education, communication, and practice. From duty to desire – Their first decade of marriage was marked by obligation and frustration until they learned how to reconnect through experimentation and pleasure. Erotic play dates – Scheduling intimacy takes pressure off “performance” and creates time for exploration and connection. Radical honesty builds safety – They credit transparency, even when uncomfortable, as the foundation of their long-term trust and growth. Know your relationship values – Understanding what each partner truly wants (for Tim: passion and fun; for Susan: safety and honesty) changed everything about how they relate. Sex evolves with skill – They emphasize that pleasure pathways are infinite—what worked last time may not work today, and that's part of the adventure. Growth mindset saves marriages – When something wasn't working, they didn't give up—they learned, experimented, and grew together. Guest Info Susan and Tim BrattonSusan Bratton is an intimacy expert, author, and educator who's helped millions of people transform their relationships and sex lives through her books and programs, including Relationship Magic. She publishes at BetterLover.com and teaches techniques for building trust, pleasure, and passion.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety. Sound bites "How do we actually manage stress?" "Your brain and body are one thing." "Radical acceptance is not giving up."

Radical Engagement: How to Work With, Not Against, Broken Systems Radical Engagement: 7 Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems We blame “the system,” but systems are just elements + relationships + results. If that's true, then changing a system means changing how we relate and respond—daily. Adam Kahane, author of Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, shares seven habits that let ordinary people move complex issues forward—at work, in community, and at home. Key Points: Radical Engagement (the umbrella). Engage with the system—alert, curious, relational—rather than lecturing at it. Reflect: Where am I “arms-crossed”? What would leaning forward look like this week? Relate in Three Dimensions. Actors: parts of a whole working toward an outcome. Parties: distinct interests and incentives. Kin: fellow humans with dignity and emotion. Reflect: Which dimension do I overuse? Which do I ignore? Look for What's Unseen (and unheard). We discover blind spots by listening to people in other positions in the system. Reflect: Who sees what I can't? Who's the one person I should interview this week? Work with the Cracks. Systems aren't smooth; they're full of fissures where change can start. Reflect: Where's one small opening I can ring “the bell that still can ring”? Experiment a Way Forward. Run small, safe-to-try tests instead of debating perfect plans. Reflect: What's a 2-week experiment I can launch with current resources? Collaborate with Unlike Others. We don't need identical values to work together; cities function because strangers cooperate daily. Reflect: Which “unlike other” is essential to my goal—and how can I invite them in? Persevere—and Rest. System shifts take years; pace yourself so you can stay in the game. Reflect: What boundary or rhythm would keep me sustainably engaged? Money Learning: Profit follows structure and structure follows relationships. Your market, team, vendors, and regulators are the system. Profitable change happens when you: map incentives (party dimension), humanize conflict (kin), and design experiments that prove value quickly (actors). Key Takeaway: Don't wait for perfect alignment or a perfect leader. Practice one habit in one crack this week. Guest Bio: Adam Kahane is a renowned facilitator and author who has helped leaders across the world—from South Africa's transition to democracy to cross-sector climate initiatives—work together across deep differences. His latest book is Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems.

It has been a lousy couple of years for one of the leftist factions most deserving of a lousy couple of years—no, not organized labor, institutional transgender activism. Great Britain, home to noted critic of transgenderism J.K. Rowling who not long ago faced odds as impossible as those of the Britons defending Rorke's Drift in the 19th century, issued the Cass Report condemning activists' preferred approaches to treating “gender dysphoria” by the “affirming” model, and the country's Supreme Court ruled that a woman is, in fact, an adult human female. In the United States, our Supreme Court ruled that states had the power to prohibit sex changes for minors in U.S. v. Skrmetti and the Trump administration has sought to extirpate “gender ideology” from federal executive policy. But the campaign to “trans the kids” continues, and our colleague Parker Thayer went into the belly of the institutional beast to study it.Transgender medical symposium showcases radical quackeryACLU Attorney Confesses: Transgender-Suicide Claim is a MythWorld Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)InfluenceWatch Podcast 341: Progressive Transgender Coercion

From the barristers of Holborn to the buskers of Camden Lock and the poets of Hampstead, this episode climbs right through London's social landscape. Along the way we meet the borough that built better homes for its people, raised its rates for beauty's sake, and made “progressive” a point of civic pride. Radical politics, visionary housing, the ghosts of railways and revolution – Camden's story is London's story, all packed into eight and a half square miles.

This episode was released patreon's only in 2021. Mario Tronti and Antonio Negri stand as towering figures in the forgotten history of Italian radical Marxism. Their theoretical frameworks - operaismo and autonomia - emerged from the unique contradictions of post-war Italy: a strong Communist Party trapped in parliamentary politics while workers sought more direct forms of resistance.What made these movements revolutionary wasn't just their militancy but their methodological breakthrough. Rather than lecturing workers about theory, intellectuals like Raniero Panzieri entered factories to listen and learn through "co-research." From this engagement came Tronti's profound insight: contrary to orthodox Marxism, workers' struggles drive capitalist development, not vice versa. Capital constantly recomposes itself in response to labor's resistance - a perspective that brilliantly anticipated neoliberalism's fragmentation of the working class decades before it became obvious to others.The movements diverged when Tronti returned to parliamentary politics while Negri pursued increasingly militant autonomia, arguing that capitalism had shifted from development to pure control, requiring immediate resistance rather than long-term organization. This split reflected broader tensions within radical movements worldwide: reform versus revolution, patience versus urgency, institutions versus direct action. Their theoretical extensions were equally significant - connecting factory struggles to unwaged domestic labor and laying groundwork for social reproduction theory.Whether you're interested in Italian political history, Marxist theory, or the roots of contemporary social movements, this discussion illuminates how these forgotten radical thinkers anticipated our present predicaments with uncanny accuracy. Their legacy reminds us that revolutionary theory emerges not from abstract philosophizing but from genuine engagement with workers' lived experiences.Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Luis invites Camille Leak and Gray Doolin into a raw conversation about the somatics of dehumanization. Together, they explore what happens in the body when we dislike someone so deeply that we strip away their humanity, and how to stay open-hearted even in disagreement.The team discusses how somatic awareness has helped them recognize that feelings like disappointment, disgust, or dislike don't have to lead to dehumanization. By staying embodied, they've learned to hold both truths at once — acknowledging discomfort while still seeing the inherent goodness in others.You can also get lifetime access to the free webinar edit of this recording on our Thinkific platform here: https://hln.thinkific.com/courses/radical-rehumanizingYou can read more about, and register for, the retreat at Blue Spirit Costa Rica here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/blue-spirit----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ Learn more about the self-led course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/self-led-new Join the waitlist to pre-order Luis' book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Fr. Mike summarizes the final moments of the book of Nehemiah, when Nehemiah returns to find the people of Israel being unfaithful to God's commandments and marrying foreign wives. Fr. Mike connects this to our lives, as we too often confuse God's unending love for us to mean that he always wants what we want.Today's readings are Nehemiah 13, Malachi 1-4, and Proverbs 21: 25-28.
