Podcasts about Rainbow Coalition

Jesse Montgomery joins Michael Stauch to discuss It Is Not Enough to Survive: The Young Patriots Story (UNC Press, 2026). They examine how young white migrants from Appalachia and the South fought police brutality, racism, economic exploitation, and displacement through community organizing, and even joined forces with Fred Hampton's Black Panther Party and the Young Lords to create the original Rainbow Coalition in the streets of Chicago in the 1960s and ‘70s. Highlights include: How the Young Patriots evolved from street gang to political organizers active in Chicago's “Hillbilly Harlem,” the Uptown neighborhood; A reminder that poor white workers made up the large majority of migrants from the South during the Great Migrations of the 20th century; How the Young Patriots attempted to “re-signify” the Confederate flag, paralleling efforts by “race traitors” like Noel Ignatiev to reframe white workers in a context of interracial class solidarity; How the story of the Young Patriots is also a story of urban renewal, and the fight against it, in Chicago; A discussion of Merle Haggard's “Okie from Muskogee” and the role of country music in the culture wars of the 1960s. Guest: Jesse Montgomery is a visiting assistant professor of English at Berea College who works on American literature after 1945, Appalachian outmigration, and radical culture. Jesse holds a Ph.D. in English from Vanderbilt University. His writing has appeared in n+1, Popula, Full Stop, and the Journal of Popular Music Studies. Host: Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

What if the biggest culture war in America wasn't a grassroots revolution at all… but a system designed to keep ordinary people divided while the people at the top quietly consolidated more power than ever before? In this episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian dives into the hidden history behind modern DEI, identity politics, Cold War influence operations, and the institutional networks that shaped today's corporate and academic culture. From declassified CIA programs and Senate investigations to the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations, this is the hidden history of modern DEI. This episode follows the paper trail through the Cold War, the CIA's “Mighty Wurlitzer” propaganda network, McGeorge Bundy, the Ford Foundation, and the rise of the Black Panthers — whose free breakfast programs, health clinics, and cross-racial Rainbow Coalition threatened to unite working people around class and economic power. J Edgar Hoover and the FBI actually went after Fred Hampton because message wasn't Black vs. white. It was poor people vs. concentrated power. And according to Hoover that was more dangerous than riots and civil unrest. From the Congress for Cultural Freedom and foundation-funded activism to the rise of corporate HR culture and modern diversity bureaucracy, this episode explores how class-based populism may have been replaced by institutionalized identity management designed to absorb outrage without ever threatening the underlying power structure. You'll hear about: The CIA's “Mighty Wurlitzer” influence network Declassified Cold War psychological operations The Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations connection to intelligence agencies How J Edgar Hoover's FBI went after the Black Panther Party and Fred Hampton's Rainbow Coalition Why cross-racial working-class solidarity terrified elites The Congress for Cultural Freedom and “managed dissent” How DEI became embedded in universities and corporations Why corporate activism exploded while inequality worsened The psychological mechanics of division and outrage politics How media, bureaucracy, and identity conflict distracts from corruption and economic power #DEI #CIA #FordFoundation 00:00 INTRO 00:48 DEI Was Started By The CIA 01:47 Ford Foundation & The CIA 02:51 The Mighty Wurlitzer: Engineering "Organic" Propaganda 03:56 Funding the "Housebroken" Left 06:06 Laundering Ideology Through Foundations (Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie) 07:28 John J. McCloy and the CIA-Ford Foundation Merger 08:29 How Massive Endowments Provide Cover for Black Budgets 10:11 The "Long Leash": Seducing Intellectuals Over Defeating Them 12:38 Dummy Foundations 14:04 Thomas Braden: Controlling American Radicals 15:55 Case Study: Infiltrating the Labor Movement and Churches 17:02 The Hypocrisy of Institutional Leaders 18:47 McGeorge Bundy and the Strategy of Social Stability 20:06 Black Panters Fred Hampton and the Threat of the Rainbow Coalition 23:28 Unity is the Danger: Replacing Populism with Grants 26:34 Carnegie's Capture of Universities 29:44 Self-Reproducing Ideology in the Corporate Workplace 31:38 Interpersonal Conflict as a Substitute for Accountability 34:01 Divide, Conquer, and the Path to Solidarity Shopify: Launch your dream business with Shopify.

This month we open with Jesse Jackson's death as a reckoning with the multiracial coalition America chose not to build, trace the American playbook from the 1953 Iran coup to Cuba to the current war on Iran, examine how the same logic of control operates at home through AI monopolies, sports money, and captured courts, and close with the religious and labor traditions that have always driven change — plus Orbán's defeat in Hungary as proof that authoritarian projects don't last forever.

Simma Lieberman and Elmer Dixon go back over 50 years — she was in the Young Patriots, he was co-founding the first Black Panther Party chapter outside California. In this conversation, they cut through the lies, revisionist history, and current attacks on DEI to talk about what the Black Panther Party actually stood for, why erasing Black history will never work, and what it takes to stay courageous when the political winds turn ugly. Elmer shares what it was like to transition from revolutionary to corporate diversity consultant, corrects the record on the myths about the Panthers, and gives three direct pieces of advice for anyone trying to stay grounded right now. What You'll Hear •      Why Elmer and Simma were part of the original Rainbow Coalition — and who actually coined that phrase (hint: it wasn't Jesse Jackson) •      The two biggest lies still being told about the Black Panther Party — and the truth behind them •      What it felt like to leave the movement and step into "Babylon" with four kids to feed •      A Black student who compared the Panthers to the KKK — and what that tells us about deliberate historical distortion •      How the Netherlands teaches Black Panther history in school while the U.S. tries to erase it •      The Seattle Black Panther Legacy Center opening this June in Pioneer Square •      Why DEI is not affirmative action, and what "DEI hire" really reveals about the people saying it •      Elmer's three things everyone needs right now: self-education, self-love, and courage Timestamps [01:30] Introducing Elmer Dixon — 52 years of knowing each other, Black Panthers and Young Patriots [03:00] Elmer's full bio — Seattle BPP, city cabinet, Executive Diversity Services, global work [06:30] Is it still important to talk about race?

In this episode we have Rosalyn Pelles, former the executive director for the Rainbow Coalition, discuss her work with Rev. Jackson as well as the impact and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson.

The passing of Jesse Jackson closes a thunderous chapter in American history. From marching beside King to building the Rainbow Coalition, Jackson transformed protest into political leverage and gave marginalized voters a national microphone. His moral cadence reshaped campaigns long before diversity became a talking point. In a world that also watched icons like Robert Duvall define American storytelling on screen—and followed the legal controversies surrounding Prince Andrew abroad—Jackson's legacy stands apart: rooted not in spectacle, but in struggle. He didn't merely demand a seat at the table; he redrew the seating chart. His impact endures in every coalition that dares to broaden democracy's promise.

K.A. Owens interviews activist Howard Owens about the legacy of the Rainbow Coalition and the late Rev. Jesse Jackson. Recorded Thursday February 26, 2026, 7PM.

On December 4, 1969, a pre-dawn police raid at 2337 West Monroe Street in Chicago left 21-year-old Black Panther leader Fred Hampton dead. Authorities called it a shootout. Evidence later suggested something far more deliberate.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom examines the assassination of Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party and a rising national leader targeted under the FBI's COINTELPRO program. We break down the role of informant William O'Neal, the alleged drugging of Hampton, the 99 shots fired during the raid, and the 13-year legal battle that exposed federal coordination with local law enforcement.But this story goes beyond one night.We explore Hampton's Rainbow Coalition, his community programs like the Free Breakfast Program, and why multiracial, working-class solidarity was viewed as a threat by powerful institutions. This episode also connects the political climate of the 1960s — including the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War protests, and urban uprisings — to ongoing conversations about government surveillance, police violence, and state power today.Was this a tragic raid gone wrong or a calculated political execution?The truth always leaves a trail.If you're interested in true crime, political history, FBI surveillance, civil rights, and the psychology of state violence, this episode is essential listening.

Hey — we just lost a giant: Reverend Jesse Jackson. In this episode we look back at a life that started in the 60s, the balcony on that terrible day, the Rainbow Coalition, presidential runs, and a lifetime of pushing tough issues into the mainstream. He wasn't perfect, but he did the work — organizing, inspiring young people, and forcing the party and the country to listen. Pull up a chair, let's remember him honestly and celebrate what he made possible.

On February 17, 2026, Jesse Louis Jackson made transition at 84, marking a watershed chapter in four generations of African struggle for US and global power. Emerging from Africana Governance formations, Jackson leveraged two currencies—voter power and consumer power—to push US domestic and global Social Structures to have to negotiate with the organized oppressed. From Operations Breadbasket and PUSH to Rainbow Coalition Presidential campaigns of 1984 and 1988, Jackson utilized and tested every tactic available to oppressed people confronting entrenched Social Structures. In Class With Carr 311 interprets the meaning of Jackson's life and work as a case study in the possibilities and limits of Black self-determination, asking what it reveals about today's fragile and reshaping political order and what understanding him, it and ourselves demands of us now.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Chris Cuomo brings together key moments from this week's Cuomo Mornings on SiriusXM, featuring conversations with Michael Eric Dyson and Gary Vaynerchuk as the country reflects on the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson. Dyson shares personal stories from decades alongside Jackson, tracing his rise after Dr. King's assassination, the Rainbow Coalition campaigns of 1984 and 1988, and the relentless activism that defined his final years. The discussion turns to who carries that mantle now and what leadership looks like in a moment many Americans feel is lacking it. Gary Vee joins to talk about the algorithm-driven culture shaping politics, outrage, and self-worth — and why accountability, mindset, and economic opportunity may matter more than partisan warfare. Cuomo pushes back on whether social media is neutral, how political primaries reward extremes, and whether Americans still know how to disagree without dehumanizing one another. Calls from listeners also take the conversation into the Epstein controversy, transparency, media credibility, and the danger of conspiracy culture replacing serious inquiry.

Ralph welcomes J.B. Branch (Public Citizen's Big Tech accountability advocate) to discuss some of the sectors that Big Tech is disrupting with artificial intelligence. Then, Steve, David, and Hannah speak to Russell Mokhiber about the latest issue of the Capitol Hill Citizen. Finally, Ralph speaks on the legacy of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson.J.B. Branch is the Big Tech accountability advocate for Public Citizen's Congress Watch division. He leads Public Citizen's advocacy efforts on artificial intelligence accountability, consumer data and privacy rights, tech product safety, platform oversight, and child online safety protections.What's happening is these AI companies are taking a page out of the playbook of the social media days. When social media was brand new, they were trying to say that this technology is going to lead to people being more connected, it's going to lead to efficiencies, it's going to lead to overall positives. And in fact, there were times where you had big tech CEOs who were saying that a lot of this money was going to trickle down. And you look down, and you look up, and I'm not any richer because Facebook stock is soaring or Microsoft's is soaring. What we're really seeing is the same thing that's happened with these large tech companies—which is that they promised the world, they offer back very little, and in fact, what they offer up is a series of harms.JB BranchCongress has been really bought into AI. They're buying into this idea that it's a race for the world between us and China. So you have some congressional folks who believe that this is a race against China and that we need to harness this weapon. And then you have a lot of corporate money from these AI companies…They're dumping a lot of money into congressional races, to ensure that they're propping up candidates who align with this deregulatory scheme.JB BranchRussell Mokhiber is editor of the Corporate Crime Reporter and the Capitol Hill Citizen. He is also founder of singlepayeraction.org, and editor of the website Morgan County USA.I see [the Capitol Hill Citizen] philosophy along a couple lines. One is that it's not left right, it's top down. We consider both political parties corrupt to the core, but there's a rising tide of activism against both parties, against the institutional parties. And so, for example, in the current issue, we bristle against those who are what we call “negativo”. We're very “positivo”. So while we're living in very difficult times, there's a rising tide of activism challenging members of Congress, both current members in Congress as citizen activists and also as candidates…And so what we're seeing is this up-down resurgence from the bottom—populists of all stripes rising up against the technocratic billionaires who've brought us to this state.Russell Mokhiber[Jesse Jackson] was an advocate of non-violence, of self-reliance. And the amazing thing about him is how he appeared everywhere. I mean there was nothing remote about Jesse Jackson. He appeared everywhere. If the farmers were being driven into bankruptcy by agribusiness, he was there. If there need to be prisoners released in foreign countries, he was there… The thing that most people didn't realize is how much personal pressure he was under by his opponents. In those days, challenging certain conditions that we don't even know about now because of Jesse and other civil rights leaders' works, really upset the power structure. And they didn't take it lying down. So all these places he went to, he was very much under great pressure.Ralph NaderNews 2/20/26* Our top stories this week concern the continuing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. First, the Columbus Dispatch reports Republican Senator Jon Husted of Ohio accepted more than $100,000 from Epstein associate Les Wexner. Husted's opponent in his reelection campaign, former Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown, blasted Husted for accepting this money and implied that Wexner's donations pushed Husted to initially vote against releasing the Epstein files. In damage control mode, the Husted campaign announced they would donate Wexner's campaign contributions to charity. Wexner himself appeared in front of the House Oversight committee this week. Wexner denied any wrongdoing, claiming that Epstein “conned” him and called him a “clever, diabolical … master manipulator.” Democrats on the committee were skeptical, with Congressman Robert Garcia stating “There is no single person that was more involved with providing Jeffrey Epstein with the financial support to commit his crimes than Les Wexner,” per the Hill.* In related news, the New York Times reports Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has been arrested for misconduct stemming from his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Specifically, he stands accused of passing along confidential information to Epstein while the disgraced former prince served as a British trade envoy. His brother, King Charles III is quoted saying he supports a “full, fair and proper process” to investigate these claims. The Times notes the striking disparity in the official response from law enforcement in the U.K. versus the U.S., writing, “The British authorities have moved aggressively to investigate the possibility of crimes emerging from the three million pages of correspondence with Mr. Epstein… police in the United States have not.”* Meanwhile in Los Angeles, prominent entertainment executive and sports agent Casey Wasserman has drawn fire from many LA politicians, including City Controller Kenneth Mejia, L.A. County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath, City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez and fellow Councilmember and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman over his ties to Epstein lieutenant Ghislane Maxwell, as revealed in the latest tranche of files. High-profile clients of Wasserman's agency immediately began to abandon the firm. High profile deserters include pop star Chappell Roan and Olympic gold medalist Abby Wambach. Wasserman announced he would sell the agency shortly thereafter. However, Wasserman still chairs the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics Committee. This week, LA Mayor Karen Bass weighed in to call Wasserman's behavior “abhorrent” and say that while she cannot fire him, it is her opinion that he should step down. Astonishingly, the LA28 board announced after a review of Wasserman's conduct that he should remain on as committee chair. This from LA Magazine.* Speaking of local boards, this week New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the appointment of six new members of the Rent Guidelines Board, including a new Chair. With these six appointments, comprising two-thirds of the total board, Mamdani is poised to deliver on one of his key campaign promises – a rent freeze for tenants in rent-stabilized apartments. These appointees range from experienced civil servants to academics to union organizers, among others. This is a major victory for Mamdani, and comes at a key moment when other items on his governing agenda are being challenged by budgetary constraints due to long-term mismanagement of the city's finances.* Another rent-related story comes to us from Minnesota. CBS reports the tenants union Twin Cities Tenants, along with five labor unions totaling over 25,000 workers, are calling for a statewide rent strike to pressure lawmakers to enact an eviction moratorium. This comes in the context of Operation Metro Surge, the federal government's sprawling immigration enforcement action which resulted in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. As this piece notes, many residents of the Twin Cities stayed home from work during the operation, out of fear of being detained, resulting in many tenants being short on rent ahead of March 1st. According to an analysis by the University of Minnesota renters in the state have racked up between $27 and $51 million in rent debt since the onset of Metro Surge. This in addition to the average statewide rent debt of $44.6 million in any two-month period.* Turning to Gaza-related news, this week saw major updates in the legal drama of Palestine Action in Britain. On February 13th, AP reported that the country's High Court ruled the government acted unlawfully by outlawing Palestine Action and deeming it a terrorist organization. The Judges said that Palestine Action's activities did not meet the “level, scale and persistence” that would justify a legal proscription. However, the court allowed the government to keep the ban in place pending the government's appeal. The group was banned last June after breaking into a Royal Air Force base to protest the slaughter in Gaza. Despite this ruling in the group's favor, which came on the heels of a ruling dismissing charges against six Palestine Action activists, the BBC reports those activists will be retried by the government over their alleged role in causing damage to an Elbit Systems facility near Bristol. Charges against 18 other defendants accused of participating in the break-in will be dropped.* Meanwhile, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and one of the Catholic Church's highest officials, was asked to comment on President Trump's proposed Board of Peace, the international body intended to oversee the governance and reconstruction of Gaza. Pizzaballa replied “What do I think of the Board of Peace? I think it is a colonialist operation: others deciding for the Palestinians.” The Patriarch added “They asked us to enter. I've never had a billion (dollars),” referring to the $1 billion price for a permanent board seat, but “above all, this is not the Church's task: It is the sacraments, the dignity of the person.” This from OSV News. Pizzaballa has long sought self-determination for the Palestinians alongside peace in the region, even putting his own life on the line for that cause. Just after the October 7th Hamas attacks, Pizzaballa offered to exchange himself for the Israeli hostages in Hamas custody.* And in East Asia, NBC reports ousted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been found guilty of insurrection over his failed self-coup plot, which involved storming parliament and imposing martial law. The South Korean high court stopped short of accepting the prosecution's request for the death penalty – which they justified using the case law derived from the execution of King Charles Stuart of England in 1649 – and instead sentenced Yoon to life in prison. Decrying the verdict, Yoon's lawyers called the trial “nothing more than a mere formality to reach a predetermined conclusion.” Yoon has the right to appeal the ruling. Given the failure of American institutions to check the creeping authoritarianism in our political system, it is awe-inspiring to see it happen in a country that has struggled with authoritarian rule in its much more recent past.* Turning back to domestic news, Mike Selig, the chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) posted a strange video this week, claiming that “American prediction markets have been hit with an onslaught of state-led litigation,” and announcing that the CFTC will launch a legal campaign to block states from regulating sites like Polymarket and Kalshi by asserting that such regulation is the sole purview of the Commission. In the video, Selig argues that these sites “provide useful functions for society by allowing everyday Americans to hedge commercial risks, like increases in temperature and energy price spikes…[and] serve as an important check on our news media and our information streams.” A number of states have taken action to regulate prediction markets, including Nevada, along with Arizona, Michigan, New York and Illinois, to name just a few. One powerful constituency pushing for state-level regulation of prediction markets is the traditional gambling industry. Adam Greenblatt, CEO of sportsbook BetMGM, thundered in a recent interview “They pay no state taxes, there are no consumer protections, there are no penalties for underage play.” This from Axios.* Finally, we pay tribute to activist, civil rights leader, and political forefather of modern multiracial progressive politics, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jackson, who passed away this week at age 84, was a protégé of Martin Luther King and ran groundbreaking presidential campaigns in the 1980s assembling the “Rainbow Coalition,” which sought civil rights for racial and ethnic minorities and the LGBT community alongside a sweeping anti-poverty agenda. In the 1990s, Jackson was elected Shadow Delegate and then Shadow Senator for the District of Columbia. In the 21st century, Jackson took on an elder statesman role in progressive circles, continuing to lead the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and attending major protest events – including the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and 2024 pro-Palestine encampments – even after his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2017 and multiple COVID-related hospitalizations. Since his passing, Jackson has been eulogized by a host of prominent political figures, including Donald Trump, Curtis Sliwa, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the Clintons, Reverends William J. Barber and Al Sharpton, the descendents of Martin Luther King, longtime Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa among many others. Like Ralph Nader, Jackson remained a leading light of the American Left during its lowest ebb in modern history. He followed his own iconic exhortation to “keep hope alive.” The least we can do is to carry on this legacy.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! We are taking a deep dive into the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson — and the lasting political impact he leaves behind. From his early days working alongside Martin Luther King Jr. to his groundbreaking presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, Jackson reshaped the modern Democratic coalition and expanded the national political conversation. The team explores how his Rainbow Coalition strategy changed the way candidates build multiracial, cross-class alliances — and how his campaigns paved the way for future leaders, including Barack Obama. Was Jackson ahead of his time? How did his presidential bids alter the trajectory of the Democratic Party? And what lessons do today's political movements — on both the left and right — still draw from his organizing model? It's a candid discussion about ambition, activism, controversy and the enduring political architecture of one of America's most consequential public figures.

"American culture likes martyrs, not marchers." — David Masciotra, quoting Jesse JacksonA couple of days ago, a great American died. Jesse Jackson was 84. He was somebody. Even Donald Trump acknowledged the passing of "a good man"—which, as my guest today notes, Jackson probably wouldn't have appreciated. David Masciotra is the author of I Am Somebody: Why Jesse Jackson Matters, one of the most readable biographies of the African-American leader. Having spent six years covering him and more than 100 hours in conversation, he called Jackson a friend.Masciotra borrows from Jackson on Americans preferring martyrs to marchers. It's easy to celebrate him now that he's gone. But when Jesse was being Jesse—battling economic apartheid, registering millions of voters, building a Rainbow Coalition—he had many critics and enemies, including some of those hypocrites now praising him.Jackson's legacy is vast. After King's death, he focused on economic justice, securing thousands of jobs for Black workers and entrepreneurs. He ran for President twice, nearly winning the 1988 nomination. He pushed for proportional delegate allocation—without which Obama would never have won in 2008. He debated David Duke and, in Masciotra's words, "reduced him to a sputtering mess." He was the first presidential candidate to fully support gay rights. He slept beside gay men dying of AIDS in hospices. He marched with Latino immigrants from California into Mexico.But perhaps most relevant today: Jackson showed how to build a coalition that transcended racial politics without ignoring race. "If we leave the racial battleground to find economic common ground," MLK's spiritual successor insisted, "we can reach for moral higher ground." That's the populist strategy Masciotra believes the Democrats need now—a vision, he fears, trapped between the identitarian politics of its left and the milquetoast neoliberalism of its right flank. Five Takeaways●      Martyrs, Not Marchers: American culture celebrates civil rights leaders after they're dead. When Jackson was hard at it, he had enemies—including some now praising him.●      Jackson Made Obama Possible: Jackson pushed for proportional delegate allocation. Without it, Obama—who won small states—would never have beaten Clinton in 2008.●      Jackson Debated David Duke: And reduced him to a sputtering mess. Duke's response: "Jackson's intelligence isn't typical of Blacks." Jackson believed refusing debate only empowers enemies.●      Race and Class Are Linked: Jackson showed you can't substitute race for class or use race to erase class. Leave the racial battleground for economic common ground.●      Visionaries Win the Marathon: Jackson often lost the sprint but won the marathon. His Rainbow Coalition vision is what Democrats need now—and keep fumbling. About the GuestDavid Masciotra is a cultural critic, journalist, and author of I Am Somebody: Why Jesse Jackson Matters. He spent six years covering Jackson and more than 100 hours in conversation with him. He is an old friend of Keen on America.ReferencesPeople mentioned:●      Martin Luther King Jr. was Jackson's mentor. Jackson was an aide to King and was with him on the balcony the day he was assassinated.●      David Duke, former KKK leader, debated Jackson in 1988. Jackson wiped the floor with him.●      W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington represent a historic dichotomy in Black political thought. Jackson occupied space between positions.●      Rosa Parks was eulogized by Jackson, who noted that she succeeded simply because "she was available."●      Robert Kennedy shared Jackson's universal vision of coalition-building across racial lines.Organizations mentioned:●      Operation PUSH was Jackson's organization focused on economic justice for Black Americans.●      The Rainbow Coalition was Jackson's political movement seeking to unite Americans across race and class.Further reading:●      Masciotra's UnHerd piece: "Jesse Jackson Transcended America's Racial Politics"About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

In this heavy-hitting episode of The All About Nothing: Kinda Daily Show, Barrett Gruber and Bill Kimler reflect on the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson, who died yesterday at age 84. They pay tribute to his "Rainbow Coalition" legacy and the doors he opened for generations of leaders, while also addressing the complicated political accountability of the Jackson family.The conversation shifts to a massive breaking story from the United Nations, where experts have officially declared that allegations within the newly released Epstein files may meet the legal threshold for "crimes against humanity." The hosts discuss the systematic failures that allowed this global enterprise to persist and what this means for international justice.On the home front, the "low-fire" job market of early 2026 just got personal—Bill shares the news that 30% of his team was laid off this week.

Stephen Shames: A Lifetime in Photography – Lessons on Social Documentary, the Black Panthers, and Child Poverty (Part 1) Introduction In the latest episode of “10 Frames per Second,” host Molly & Joe interview legendary American photojournalist Stephen Shames. Over a 50‑year career, Shames has documented everything from the Black Panther Party to child poverty in America, testifying before the U.S. Senate and publishing twelve monographs. If you're a photographer, journalist, activist, or anyone who cares about visual storytelling, this interview is a goldmine. Below we break down the most actionable takeaways, organize them into easy‑to‑read sections, and show you how to apply Shames's methods to your own work. Who Is Stephen Shames? Fact Detail Profession Photojournalist & documentary photographer Career span 50+ years (1960s‑present) Focus Social issues – child poverty, racism, civil rights Notable achievements Testified before the U.S. Senate (1986), 42 museum collections, 12 monographs (e.g., Power to the People, Outside the Dream), new book Stephen Shames – A Lifetime in Photography – Purchase Directly with Autograph and Print from Stephen via eBay HERE Key collaborations Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell, various grassroots organizations How Stephen Shames Discovered Photography College activism – While studying at UC Berkeley during the 1960s, he witnessed the civil‑rights movement and anti‑Vietnam protests. First camera purchase – After hitch‑hiking to New York's East Village, he bought a camera at a pawn shop. Choosing the “artist of the movement” – Frustrated by student‑government politics, he decided to capture the larger picture rather than be a “politician.” “I just wanted to look at the big picture and try and move people with photography.” Working with the Black Panther Party Why the Panthers Accepted a White Photographer Shared goals – Economic and social justice, not just race. Pragmatism – Panthers needed allies outside the Black community to build coalitions (Peace & Freedom Party, Young Lords, Young Patriots). Personal connection – Bobby Seale liked Shames's images and invited him to use them in the Panther newspaper. Key Facts About the Panthers (From the Interview) Founded: October 1966 (initially ~20 members). National expansion: Post‑1968, 10,000+ members, 50‑60 chapters. Community programs: “Breakfast for School Children,” feeding 10,000+ kids daily. Self‑defense model: Legal gun ownership (California) + law books; later, they shifted to “cameras are better weapons.” Lesson for Photographers Build trust by aligning with a group's mission, not merely your identity. Stephen Shames Research‑First Approach “Journalism is two‑dimensional; you need to experience the culture you want to document.” Steps to Deep‑Dive Research Read nonfiction – History, journalism, policy reports. Read fiction – Novels written by members of the community. Listen to music – Understand emotional tone and cultural references. Watch movies / documentaries – Visual language and storytelling cues. Live the bubble – Immerse yourself in daily life, food, rituals. Why It Matters Breaks the “bubble” of your own biases. Helps anticipate reactions and capture authentic moments. Stephen Shames on Building Trust & Relationships Core Principles Honesty: Be transparent about your intent. Respect: Never mock or look down on subjects (e.g., drug addicts, police). Reciprocity: Offer subjects control—let them tell you when to stop. Presence: Stay physically in the community (sleep on sofas, eat meals together). Practical Tactics Find a community “gatekeeper.” Example: a nun from Catholic Social Services who introduced Shames to Chicago projects. Sit down for a conversation before shooting – explain the project, listen to concerns. Share your work later (photos, stories) to reinforce the relationship. “If you're honest, people will accept you, even if you're a ‘liberal New York Jew.'” Bullet‑Point Checklist Identify and contact a respected local figure or organization. Explain your project in plain language. Offer a clear “opt‑out” for subjects. Spend time off‑camera – meals, conversations, errands. Follow up after the shoot with thank‑you notes or shared images. Cameras vs. Guns: The Evolution of “Weapons” 1960s‑70s: Panthers used firearms legally to patrol police. Today: Shames notes that cameras and smartphones are the most powerful weapons for exposing injustice. Why the shift? Legal restrictions on open carry. Instant global distribution of visual evidence. “The camera is a much better weapon because it puts the story directly in front of the world.” Lessons for Modern Photographers Insight How to Apply Research beyond headlines Read novels, watch local films, listen to playlists from the community. Immerse, don't observe from a distance Stay in the neighborhood for days or weeks, not just a single shoot. Earn trust through honesty Share your intent, give subjects a “stop” word, and be transparent about usage. Leverage community allies Partner with NGOs, churches, or trusted locals to gain entry. Think of yourself as a “doctor,” not a “tourist” Your presence should be accepted as part of the environment, not an intrusion. Use the camera as an activist tool Publish work on platforms that reach decision‑makers, not just art galleries. Document, don't dictate Let subjects tell their own story; avoid imposing your narrative. Why Shames's Story Matters Today Media fragmentation & AI‑generated images: Shames emphasizes that authentic, verified photography is more vital than ever. Social justice resurgence: The same patterns of protest, police scrutiny, and grassroots organizing repeat across generations. Educational relevance: Teachers can use Shames's methods to teach research, empathy, and ethical storytelling. Conclusion Stephen Shames's career shows that powerful photography comes from empathy, rigorous research, and deep community ties. Whether you're documenting the modern Black Lives Matter movement, child poverty, or any social issue, the principles he shares—exit your bubble, build trust, and let the camera speak—remain timeless. Ready to start your own documentary project? Apply the checklist above, stay authentic, and remember: your camera can change policy just as much as any courtroom testimony.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into the latest headlines with his signature unfiltered take. Titled "Well, Well, Well," the show kicks off with a breakdown of the recent mass shooting at a hockey arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, involving a transgender individual named Robert Dorgan, who went by Roberta Esposito. Clay explores emerging patterns of violence linked to transgender ideology, citing recent incidents like the Tumbler Ridge school shooting, the Nashville Christian school tragedy, and others, while discussing mental illness, radicalization, and the impact on vulnerable communities.   Shifting gears, Clay reacts to a provocative Slate article where a progressive writer boasts about arming up against conservatives, highlighting double standards in media and politics. The conversation evolves into a raw reflection on "horizonlessness"—that aimless, blah feeling in modern life—blaming social media's short-form content for brain rot, eroded focus, and a lack of purpose. Clay shares personal strategies for detoxing from constant notifications and anxiety devices.   Wrapping up, Clay addresses the death of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson at 84, critiquing his legacy, past comments on Trump supporters, and the politicization of his Rainbow Coalition. Tune in for hard-hitting commentary on culture, trends, and the soul of America—no holds barred.

In hour 2 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards continues his deep dive into "horizonlessness"—that nagging sense of aimless living in the modern world—sharing listener texts, personal detox strategies from social media and notifications, and tips for reclaiming focus and purpose. He then reacts to the death of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson at 84, examining his complex legacy, controversial statements about Trump and his supporters, and the politicization of his Rainbow Coalition, while debating whether flags should fly at half-mast. The conversation shifts to the mysterious disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie, with speculation on family involvement, updates from law enforcement, and insights from Megyn Kelly. Clay also touches on privacy concerns with Amazon Ring cameras and surveillance tech backlash. Tune in for candid takes on mental health, politics, and current mysteries.

In the episode, host Clay Edwards reacts to the death of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson at age 84, expressing mixed views on his legacy while focusing on Jackson's criticisms of Donald Trump and his supporters. Edwards highlights several controversial statements from Jackson, including a 2017 response to the Charlottesville events where Jackson accused Trump's rhetoric of fueling "ignorance and hate and fear and violence" from the White House, linking the "Make America Great Again" slogan to "make America segregated again." He cites Jackson's 2016 accusation that Trump voters were "complicit in racism" for supporting a candidate who espoused anti-Semitic tropes, anti-Muslim policies, and anti-Mexican sentiments, stating, "You're on the team... the racist team." Edwards also references Jackson's 2018 claim that the Trump administration advocated "authoritarianism, not decency, and white supremacy, not multiculturalism," and a 2018 column where Jackson contrasted Trump with Abraham Lincoln, accusing him of railing against immigrants, embracing neo-Nazis, assailing the free press, and dismantling governance. Edwards notes Jackson's involvement in pushing LGBTQ issues late in life, which he sees as hijacking the Rainbow Coalition, and mentions Jackson's role in the Jeffrey Dahmer case as a positive contribution. On Trump, Edwards shares the president's Truth Social post calling Jackson a "good man" with "lots of personality, grit, and street smarts" who "truly loved people," while debating whether Trump should lower flags to half-mast—predicting he will for virtue-signaling but hoping he won't, given Jackson's attacks and Democratic double standards. Edwards argues Trump's flaw is appeasing critics who constantly move the goalposts on racism accusations, emphasizing that pleasing Democrats is futile.

Rev. Jesse Jackson has died at age 84. A towering figure in the civil rights movement, Jackson stood beside the Rev.

Political Scientist Michael Illuzzi has a fascinating new book on peoplehood in the United States, focusing on different political actors at different crucial points in American history, and how the “story” of American peoplehood has been told. This idea of “peoplehood” is not necessarily new, since it brings with it a connection to the country where one is a citizen. But for the United States, this concept has been defined and redefined over more than 250 years and often connects back to the promise of the Declaration of Independence, where the commitment to equality was articulated, but has never been fully recognized or achieved. Part of what Illuzzi is doing in Mending the Nation: Reclaiming We The People in a Populist Age is explaining, through a number of case studies, the difference between what are called “mending stories” and “bleaching stories”—those narratives that design a country that is more inclusive, that explain the past but also work towards mending earlier injustices, in contrast to those narratives that choose to erase historical injustices and inequalities and, in the process, also define the American fabric as exclusionary. This framework, drawing out these different approaches to narratives about American peoplehood, is vitally important as we find ourselves at this particular inflection point, with daily debates and armed conflicts over who is and isn't allowed to be considered an American. The case studies at the heart of Mending the Nation: Reclaiming We The People in a Populist Age include the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln, Mayor Samual Jones (of Toledo) and the integration of immigrants at the turn of the century, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, Martin Luther King Jr's coalition building beyond the Civil Rights Movement, Black Panther Leader Fred Hampton's Rainbow Coalition in Chicago in the 1960s, and finally the Poor People's Campaign led by Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and Rev. Dr. William Barber II. In each case, Illuzzi examines different kinds of opposition to more authoritarian, more divisive, or more oppressive approaches, in the speeches and in the coalitions that are being built by those leading towards mending narratives. Part of the analysis is also about how political coalitions are expanded—especially in ways that may be unexpected, when common issues (like poverty, or police brutality, or healthcare access) transcend ethnic, racial, or even political boundaries and groupings. This is a beautifully written discussion of the idea of the United States, and the ways in which politics, race, ethnicity, and class are all woven together within the broader fabric of a country “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” Mending A Nation: Reclaiming We The People in a Populist Age is particularly important in helping us to think about and possibly act on “from many, one” in the age of divisive populism and discrimination.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Feb 24, 2019 Chuka Ejeckam joins Breht to discuss and pay homage to the Black Panther Party leader and Marxist Revolutionary, Fred Hampton. Fred Hampton was more than a charismatic leader—he was a revolutionary force of nature. In this episode, we explore the life, work, and assassination of the legendary Black Panther Party leader who united poor and working-class people across racial lines, organized tirelessly for liberation, and paid the ultimate price for daring to challenge the power structure. From the Free Breakfast Program to the Rainbow Coalition, we reflect on the enduring relevance of Hampton's organizing, his dialectical brilliance, and the fire he lit that continues to burn in struggles for liberation today.

This week, we look at the remarkable life of Fred Hampton, the charismatic Black Panther leader who united working-class Chicagoans across racial lines in the late 1960s. From his days as an NAACP youth organizer to founding the Rainbow Coalition, we dive into how this brilliant 21-year-old built bridges between Black, Latino, and white working-class communities to fight for social justice. We also look at the tragic circumstances of his death at the hands of law enforcement.

Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum question whether the Democratic Party is still capable of keeping together its diverse Rainbow Coalition. Many folks in the base of the party felt abandoned by a Harris/Walz campaign that tried to appeal to moderate Republicans. Then pundits blamed “wokeness” for Kamala Harris' loss.    Are there too many conflicting interests to hold together under the Democrats' “big tent”?   This discussion was in part inspired by one of you, our #NLPFam listeners.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss the future of NLP. We've heard from you all and appreciate your words of support so much!    With all the insanity happening in national politics you may have missed state governments forcing Christianity into their public schools. Tiffany brings us up to speed and offers some calls to action.    The media has said that Trump may use a workaround called “recess appointments” to skip the Senate confirmation process for his more controversial cabinet picks (see the accused Matt Gaetz). But what are recess appointments, when have they been used in the past, and how does that compare to how Trump might use them now?    And in a discussion that's to be continued on our next MiniPod–is the Rainbow Coalition of the Dem Party dying? Already dead??    And of course we'll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners.

Series: Labor Day Special Episode 2   Episode Description: “If we were smart as a country, we would look at all of these immigrants that are new citizens of the United States, and look at all of these food production methods and skills that they bring. We would have better food security by including the immigrant farmers in the decision-making on how food production is going to be developed for the future is hitting us really hard with climate change.” —Rosalinda Guillen   Farming is the backbone of our communities, yet too often, the hard-working men and women who toil in the fields are overlooked and undervalued.    But a growing movement is changing that narrative, empowering farmers to take the reins and shape a more sustainable, equitable food system. Community to Community (C2C), founded by Rosalinda Guillen, is a pioneering organization that empowers farm workers and immigrant communities to lead the charge in building a more sustainable, equitable, and community-driven food system.   In this episode, Justine and Rosalinda discuss the challenges and barriers in organizing farm workers, the integration of immigrant farmers' practices, the vision for community farms and food security, the role of regenerative agriculture in addressing climate change, and Rosalinda's hopes for the future of empowering farmers and transforming the food system. Connect with Rosalinda:  Rosalinda Guillen (she/hers) is the founder of Community to Community and a lead strategist and visionary within the non-hierarchical ecofeminist leadership of C2C. Her perspective is fundamentally influenced by her introduction to the multi-racial, working-class community organizing model of the Rainbow Coalition, the Cesar Chavez house meeting model, The World Social Forum, the Landless Workers Movement (MST) of Brazil and growing up a farmworker in La Conner, WA. Rosalinda has organized farmworkers in WA State and the strawberry fields of Salinas CA. She has represented farmworkers in the Legislatures of California and Washington State and in ongoing policy and Movement dialogues on immigration issues, climate change, labor rights, trade agreements, ecofeminism, and strengthening the food sovereignty movement towards a Solidarity Economy.    Website Facebook Instagram   Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  LinkedIn YouTube Episode Highlights: 01:30 What is C2C?  09:18 Learning How to Organize a Community 11:54 Creating a New Narrative 18:09 Getting Into Consensus  21:49 Agricultural Lessons From Immigrant Farmers 26:50 The Answer is in Collaboration 30:45 The Role of Regenerative Agriculture   

Throughout this election year, we're going to be doing a few special series tied to the notable stretches in an election cycle, from primaries to conventions and October surprises and more. This is “Hangers-On Week” our look at the point in the primary calendar where candidates are, for one reason or another, still hanging around. For the third episode of Hangers On Week, Jody, Niki, and Kellie look at Jesse Jackson, who ran in 1984 and 1988, evolving from civil rights activism to electoral politics, and trying to push his message towards larger economic justice issues.
