Podcasts about Resistance

We usually avoid covering breaking news to keep our shows evergreen—but holy purrgil, major changes are coming to the Star Wars and Lucasfilm, and we had to dive in. Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue / Fangirl Blog) and BJ Priester (Fangirl Blog) join us to unpack two huge developments: the evolution of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and the major Lucasfilm leadership restructuring. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland is officially expanding beyond a single timeline, with all changes set to debut April 29th. New storylines on Batuu will span multiple eras—from the Galactic Civil War to the Age of the Resistance—adding Luke, Leia, Han, and Darth Vader into the land. Disney is also rotating new artifacts into Dok-Ondar's and transforming First Order Cargo into Black Spire Surplus. The BEST update according to Sarah? John Williams' legendary scores are finally coming to Galaxy's Edge. Music from the first six films—including the Main Title, the Force Theme, and classic motifs like "Han Solo and the Princess"—will now fill the land. Nostalgia matters, and this addition delivers the emotional Star Wars immersion we've have been craving since the land first opened in 2019. All these changes will fully take effect on April 29. And just one day after this news, another bombshell dropped: Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as president of Lucasfilm after 14 years, returning to producing, while Dave Filoni takes over as President and Chief Creative Officer alongside Lynwen Brennan as Co-President. Kennedy also addressed long-rumored, stalled film projects in a candid Deadline interview, and we discuss in detail. Lucasfilm is entering a bold new era, both in the parks and on screen. We speculate what's to come. What do you think?? Watch the YouTube version here for the best experience. Listen to the podcast episode here.

Hello!Today, we are back talking about Minneapolis and ICE with Will Stancil, an attorney from Minneapolis who has been posting about neighborhood rapid response in the Twin Cities. We talked to him about a whole range of topics — what it feels like in Minneapolis, how these neighborhood watches have been organized, the resilience of the city, and, at the end, even a moment of hope that Will has seen in all this.

The landscape of resistance in Minneapolis, John Nichols reports, includes surprisingly powerful and effective faith groups, plus unions, neighborhood mutual aid and community safety networks, ICE observer teams, and direct action groups, plus the ACLU and its allies, as well as the outspoken mayor and the fighting state attorney general. Also: DOGE did NOT reduce spending – at all. But it did reduce federal employment; 271,000 people lost their jobs in the federal government, according to CATO. Sasha Abramsky set out to find out what it was like for some of those people -- his new book reports on the experiences of eleven fired federal workers: American Carnage: How Trump, Musk, and DOGE butchered the US Government.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Donald Trump says he will "100%" follow through on his threat to impose further tariffs if a deal isn't reached over Greenland. He also refuses to rule out the use of force. Denmark has "substantially" increased the number of soldiers deployed to the autonomous Danish territory -- although they're part of exercises aimed at Russia rather than the United States. President Tump has told the Norwegian prime minister that he can no longer think, in his words, "purely of peace", and that he wants "complete and total control" of Greenland. Also: the Ugandan opposition leader, Bobi Wine, tells the BBC that he's had to go into hiding for his safety. Clashes erupt at a Syrian prison holding Islamic State fighters. Could Britain be about to follow Australia and introduce a social media ban for under-16s? And we look back at the life of the Italian fashion designer, Valentino, who has died at the age of 93.

We enter episode 306 of In Class with Carr with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, as the US cannibalizes its arrangements through increasingly absurdist white nativism and greed driven global destabilization, Social Structures are rapidly reorganizing. Drawing on reminders from figures such as Patrice Lumumba and Martin Luther King Jr., we recall that world orders do not announce themselves into existence—they are made, resisted, and ultimately decided by the people who survive them.Are you a member of Knarrative?

In today's episode, I'm coming in hot and pulling back the curtain on one of the most important leadership topics there is: hiring and building the right team. This conversation is happening in real time as I'm in the middle of hiring and building out a world-class team for my new IMPACT- X Performance facility here in San Diego (opening in Feb/March 2026)—and everything I'm sharing today comes straight from nearly three decades of wins, lessons, and a few hard- earned mistakes. This episode isn't just for gym owners or business leaders—it's for anyone who wants to be part of a winning culture. We're talking about energy, standards, habits, coachability, and alignment with the mission. Because culture doesn't magically appear. It's built intentionally, person by person, decision by decision. If you're hiring, leading, or looking to elevate yourself or your team to the next level, this episode will challenge you to raise the bar—and protect it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The 5 GREEN FLAGS I look for when hiring (in any industry): 1. Energy before experience—because energy is contagious. 2. Coachability over credentials. 3. Alignment with the mission and values. 4. Personal discipline and daily habits. 5. A team-first, no-ego mindset. Likewise, I will discuss the 5 "RED FLAGS" that stop a hire cold: 1. Ego over IMPACT. 2. Entitlement before accountability. 3. Negativity, blame, and victim language. 4. Resistance to standards and systems. 5. Misalignment with values and purpose. Additionally, I will discuss: Why culture is built on Day One, not later. The real cost of ignoring red flags when hiring. Why people don't just join gyms or businesses—they join people. A powerful gut-check question every leader and team member must ask. At the end of the day, great workouts, great products, and great ideas aren't enough. People matter most. The energy at the front desk, the standards behind the scenes, and the heart of the team all determine whether you build something average—or something that truly changes lives and is world-class. And if you are like me, you want to be associated with 'WORLD- CLASS.' So here's the challenge: if you're a leader, where have you ignored red flags? And if you're a coach, trainer, or professional, take a hard look in the mirror—would you hire you? Are you consistently bringing energy? Are you coachable? Are you living the discipline you expect from others? Build the team right. Protect the culture. Lead with standards and heart. That's how you create something that lasts—and that's how you go create impact. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. If it fired you up to create more IMPACT—please do me a favor and do 1 (or all 3) of the following things: 1.

In this solo episode of Hope for the Animals, host Hope Bohanec breaks down major recent developments shaking the vegan and animal advocacy world. From the return of beef and dairy to the top of U.S. dietary guidelines, to government-backed support for the beef industry, to controversial new campaign encouraging people to donate money instead of going vegan — Hope examines how political power, industry influence, and shifting advocacy strategies impact animals, public health, and social change.Hope calls for renewed moral clarity, reminding listeners that behind every policy and marketing campaign are living, feeling beings. With honesty, urgency, and compassion, she explores why ethics must stay at the center of veganism, why individual choices still matter, and why speaking up is more important than ever — especially when it feels like we're moving backward. With heartfelt conviction, this episode challenges complacency, defends individual action, and encourages advocates to stay vocal, critical, and empowered in the long game for animal freedom.Support this podcast:Hope for the Animals PodcastCompassionate LivingSocial Media:FacebookInstagramYouTube 

Newt talks with Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the U.S. office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI-US), and the author of “The Iran Threat.” They discuss the ongoing protests in Iran, which began in late December due to severe economic hardships caused by runaway inflation. The protests have evolved from demands for economic relief to calls for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic, a theocratic dictatorship currently led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Iranian government has responded with severe crackdowns, including internet shutdowns and lethal force, resulting in over 3,000 deaths and the arrest of at least 50,000 people. The protests have spread across all 31 provinces, with significant participation from various societal sectors, including small business owners who previously supported the regime. The organized opposition, particularly the MEK and its resistance units, play a crucial role in sustaining the protests despite government repression. Their discussion also touches on the historical context of the regime's reliance on repression and terrorism to maintain power, as well as the potential for international support to influence the outcome. Jafarzadeh concludes with a call for the international community to recognize and support the Iranian people's right to resist the regime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 372 of RevolutionZ urges that every activist choice we make—what to say, what to do, and who to do it with and for—can be usefully guided by one clear calculation: will this or that option grow the movement's numbers, deepen members' commitment and means, and increase pressure on those in power? We doner how  that logic of choice might affect how we write, organize, and work with others among other daily choices we face?To start, the episode considers our choice of words to speak or write. When an episode or an article describes pain that the system around us imposes, and even how the system works, and we do it over and over, how much does that help with growth, commitment, methods, and pressure? Given our need to grow in numbers, and enrich in methods, doesn't the proposed measuring stick say we should speak where the reachable are, keep our language as simple as accuracy allows, and always include and even emphasize vision and strategy? Do we do that? If not, why not? Can new ideas, concrete proposals, and credible plans invite hesitant people off the sidelines more than for us to say or write, yet again, that how bad things are? Strategy-focused words become a tool for converting attention into action. Do pain focussed words that tell people what they already know do likewise?Then we consider choosing tactics by considering the now surfacing debate over how to fight against ICE. The pull toward confrontation is real. We feel it. But if we use our one yardstick, our simple proposed logic to weigh violence against mass nonviolent disruption, What we feel isn't our guide. Instead it is to consider consequences of competing choices for growth, power, and impact. If we do that, what emerges? The episode suggests that nonviolent tactics done at scale impose costs on elites while attracting allies and improving commitment. Our goal isn't to feel fierce or righteous. Our goal becomes to win over and commit more people, more often, for longer.Who to relate to, who to support, gets similar treatment. The simple logic suggests that purity shrinks, coalescing grows. Shying away from what doesn't agree perfectly with oneself fragments. Listening and even learning from what doesn't agree with self, can grow. To support campaigns that win tangible gains and build capacity, even if they don't include every preferred demand, isn't that what we ought to do, but is it what we do do? Do we frame differences as due to character flaws to dismiss or as disputes over expected outcomes to test and explore? Which can create enlarged unity? Do we seek out and onboard  unions, students, faith communities, and neighborhood groups who can bring fresh energy and legitimacy though we don't all see all things the same way? Do we join with and support even what we hope will include more of our favored priorities in time?Finally, as a kind of afterword, the episode considers catalysts that can accelerate initial momentum: visible local wins like Mamdani's, regular actions that build efficacy like the efforts in Minneapolis, and also less often sought, bold engagement from cultural figures and labor leaders able to reach large audiences. We invite Taylor Swift, Stephen Curry, and Caitlin Clark as examples. Also school teachers and university faculty. Come fully on board. Why? Because when artists and athletes, labor leaders and educators with access to large audiences speak out clearly, very loudly, and consistently militantly, when they donate time and resources and  seriously show up, their doing so can communicate widely and make participation feel hopeful to audiences that are otherwise not yet hearing the call. Pair that with steady organizing and you get a movement that compounds power.Does the simple but powerful norm for choices offered this episode make sense to you? Support the show

Send us a textIn this episode, George Kesselaar joins Marco Blankenburgh for a powerful conversation that redefines how we think about change.George brings insight from his PhD research at the University of Cape Town's Graduate School of Business, where he explores the behavioral side of change in global organizations. What makes his work stand out is its intentional design through the lens of Intercultural Agility. Instead of treating change as something that is rolled out, George shows how it can be co-created with people across cultures.Together, Marco and George explore questions like:·       What causes change efforts to stall, even when the strategy is clear?·       How can we move from rollout to resonance?·       What does it take to create culture rather than dictate it?This conversation offers practical insight into frameworks such as the Three Colors of Worldview, the 12 Dimensions of Culture, and the idea of building a Third Cultural Space. But more than that, it invites us to reflect on how leaders show up in times of change, how they listen, and how they align with people before inviting into a journey of change.If you are working on (digital/technology) transformation, navigating resistance, or designing culture in a global environment, this episode will offer you a new way to see and lead change that lasts.  -- Looking for a book to take your cultural agility to the next step, check out the Ultimate Intercultural Question Book brought to you by KnowledgeWorkx.com

More than a week after the shooting death of a 37-year-old mother in Minnesota, protests are growing, as are calls to abolish or defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE.

The award-winning, weekly hour, produced and hosted by Esther Iverem, covers social justice activism about local, national and international issues, with a special emphasis on militarization and war, the police state, the corporate state, environmental justice and the left edge of culture and media.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You're Fired! Clay and Buck open with breaking news of another ICE-involved shooting after agents were attacked during an arrest operation. The suspects—identified as Venezuelan illegal immigrants with final deportation orders—reportedly assaulted an officer, prompting him to fire in self-defense. This follows a string of violent confrontations and protests targeting federal agents, with ICE vehicles vandalized and weapons stolen from government vehicles. The hosts warn that Minneapolis has become the epicenter of Resistance 2.0, echoing the chaos of the 2020 BLM riots, and argue that President Trump must act decisively to prevent nationwide unrest. The conversation intensifies as Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s Truth Social post threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota officials fail to stop organized attacks on federal law enforcement. They frame this as a defining moment for Trump’s second term, contrasting his current posture with what they call the missed opportunity to crush BLM riots in 2020. Buck emphasizes that Democrats are weaponizing immigration enforcement as a political wedge, portraying ICE as “Gestapo” and encouraging obstruction—language that, they argue, incites violence against officers. Clay underscores the stakes: Trump cannot afford to break faith with voters on border security, making Minneapolis a “crucible decision” for his presidency. The Left Wants to Abolish ICE Clay and Buck open with sharp analysis of Rep. Shri Thanedar’s renewed call to abolish ICE, reviving a radical slogan first championed by AOC during Trump’s first term. They argue that Democrats’ strategy is clear: dismantle enforcement while keeping immigration laws on the books to avoid openly admitting their open borders agenda. This, they contend, is part of a long-term plan to reshape America’s demographics and political landscape. The hosts highlight Trump’s historic success in reversing decades of migration trends, noting that net migration turned negative in 2025 for the first time since the 1920s. Approximately 2.6 million illegal immigrants left the country through deportations and self-removal, a stark contrast to Biden’s border surge that saw monthly inflows soar to 200,000. Clay and Buck frame this as proof that Trump’s enforcement policies are working, even as Democrats and media allies attempt to undermine ICE operations by portraying agents as brutal and lawless. They warn that rhetoric from figures like Hakeem Jeffries—accusing ICE of “brutalizing American families”—is fueling hostility and setting the stage for violence against federal officers, echoing the chaos of 2020’s BLM riots. Gov't Makes Things Expensive The conversation then pivots to Trump’s new “Great Healthcare Plan,” unveiled by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, which emphasizes affordability and transparency. The plan aims to permanently lower prescription drug prices, redirect subsidies from insurers to consumers, mandate public price disclosures to eliminate surprise bills, and hold insurance companies accountable with clear rate comparisons. Clay and Buck stress that Trump learned from Republicans’ 2018 midterm losses over healthcare and is now positioning affordability—alongside housing and credit card interest reform—as a cornerstone of his economic message. They argue that Trump’s proactive approach on healthcare and cost-of-living issues could resonate deeply with voters, contrasting his market-driven solutions with Democrats’ push for government control. Should We Buy Greenland? Updates on President Trump’s Greenland acquisition push, following high-level meetings between U.S., Danish, and Greenlandic officials at the White House. Clay and Buck explain Trump’s rationale for pursuing Greenland as a long-term national security asset, citing its strategic Arctic location, potential mineral wealth, and historical parallels to Seward’s purchase of Alaska and the Louisiana Purchase. They argue that Greenland could be critical for monitoring nuclear submarine activity and countering Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic, framing Trump’s vision as a century-long play for American dominance rather than a short-term real estate flip.

The hidden cost of silence—and the power of speaking up Kae Kronthaler-Williams is a global software marketing executive, speaker, and unapologetic advocate for women who refuse to shrink at work. With three decades in tech, she's seen the system from the inside—and she's done playing nice with broken cultures. Through bold storytelling, public speaking, executive coaching, and nonprofit leadership, Kae calls out bias, confronts toxic workplaces, and helps women reclaim their power. Her mission is simple and radical: make sure every woman is seen, supported, and equipped to lead. Because when women rise, organizations—and entire industries—rise with them. Visibility. Equity. Leadership. Change. Not Made For You If you've ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or quietly pushed out of the room—this book is for you. Not Made For You pulls back the curtain on the unspoken realities women face in tech and corporate America: sexism, harassment, ageism, racism, microaggressions, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) systems designed to keep power exactly where it is. But this isn't just a book about what's broken—it's a guide to surviving, navigating, and winning anyway. With unflinching honesty and hard-earned insight, Kae transforms lived experience into a practical, empowering playbook. She gives women the language to speak up, the tools to protect themselves, and the confidence to lead on their own terms. Silence becomes solidarity. Resistance becomes reform. It's time to rewrite who gets to lead, thrive, and succeed in tech. Inside the Book In her powerful debut, Kae chronicles her 30-year rise from telemarketer to tech executive—offering a rare, insider view of the exclusionary systems still shaping women's careers today. This is not theory. This is survival—and strategy. Readers will discover: Real-world scripts to respond to bias, exclusion, and workplace gaslighting Critical legal insights every woman in tech should know (but rarely does) A leadership framework built from lived experience, not corporate buzzwords Tools for self-advocacy, career longevity, burnout prevention, and systemic change Whether you've personally faced discrimination or want to be a more effective ally, Not Made For You equips readers with the clarity, courage, and leadership language needed to drive lasting change. women in tech, workplace bias, gender equity, leadership development, corporate culture, DEI, women's empowerment, career advancement, microaggressions, toxic workplaces, executive leadership #NotMadeForYou #WomenInTech #LeadershipMatters #EquityAtWork #BreakTheBias #CareerAdvocacy #WomenWhoLead #CorporateCulture #DEI #SystemicChange Connect with Kae Website: kaewilliams.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaekronthalerwilliams/ Substack: https://substack.com/@kaekronthalerwilliams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaekwilliams/

Have you ever hit a wall so hard it made you question everything?That was me just a few days ago. I had spent hours—days, really—pouring into a Faith Forward workbook for our upcoming Thrive event. It was beautiful, meaningful… and then, in an instant, gone. The file corrupted. Everything I had worked on was lost.I'll be honest—my first response wasn't holy. I cried. I gave myself a pity party. I even tried to talk myself out of doing the manual at all.But deep down, I knew better.In this episode, I'm sharing the full behind-the-scenes of what that moment taught me. I'll walk you through the resistance I faced, the emotions I had to fight through, and the power of pressing on—when everything in me wanted to quit.I'm here to remind you: resistance is not a stop sign—it's often a signpost that you're on the right track. Whether it's your business, your marriage, your calling, or your next big leap… if the resistance is strong, so is the impact waiting on the other side.I pray this episode gives you the fuel you need to keep going. To rebuild. To trust. And to know this: if you don't quit, you'll stand in awe of what God does through your perseverance.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – When Resistance Hits Hard01:00 – Losing the Faith Forward Manual02:00 – The Breakdown Moment: “No One Knew I Was Doing It Anyway”03:00 – From Pity Party to Pressing On04:00 – Rebuilding with Megan: 20 Hours of Work05:00 – Why the Enemy Wants You to Quit06:00 – Resistance Is a Sign You're Close07:00 – Real Growth Happens in the Mundane08:00 – Relationships, Risk, and the Real Reward09:00 – What Your Future Self Will Thank You For10:00 – You're Planting Perseverance in Your Children11:00 – Keep Going: Even Small Steps Move MountainsBe intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!

Rendering Unconscious episode 378. In this episode, I sit down with Owen Hewitson of Lacan Online fame. The conversation delves into Owen's journey into psychoanalysis, beginning at age 14 when he first read The Interpretation of Dreams, and the evolution of Lacan Online. We also discuss our book collections, the challenges of analytic training, the significance of unconscious generational transmission, and the need for interdisciplinary engagement in psychoanalysis.

Jonah is the perfect example of a man who knew God's calling, yet resisted it anyway. Similarly, there are some things we have no problem handing over to Christ. But when it comes to others, we can't let go. Dr. Stanley encourages us to address the areas we haven't surrendered to God.Donate: https://store.intouch.org/donate/generalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Longevity isn't just about what you eat or how you train—it's really more about whether you believe your body is worth investing in. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore why muscle may be one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term health. We focus on practical, accessible ways to build strength as you age, and why muscle plays a much bigger role in your health than most people realize. We explore: • How strength training supports your blood sugar and metabolic health, beyond what the scale can show • Why muscle quality—not weight—is a stronger predictor of long-term health • How building strength helps you stay mobile, capable, and resilient as you age • What most people miss about protein and muscle health Aging well is something you can actively support, starting with how you care for your body today. And strength is one of the most powerful places you can begin.

They want you to be passive and quiet. But history tells a different story. We're joined by award-winning comic creator Ben Passmore, author of Black Arms to Hold You Up: A History of Black Resistance, to dig into the stories that history books, and Hollywood, whitewash: De-sanitizing Resistance: We discuss how films and media often strip away the political intellect of figures like the Black Liberation Army, reducing revolutionary struggle to nihilism. Community as Armor: Ben puts the focus on true resistance as mutual aid. From the Jane Collective organizing healthcare, to prisoners organizing even from solitary confinement, the most radical act is building a culture of care. The Trap of Online Activism: In an age of surveillance capitalism, Ben warns that we must move beyond the "power fantasy" of social media. Real solidarity happens offline, face-to-face, building trust that algorithms can't suppress. As MAGA's Supreme Leader expands the surveillance state through Peter Thiel's Big Brother Palantir and unleashes a KKK gestapo through ICE, we must learn from unfiltered history and understand what it actually takes to survive. January 15th is the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Civil Rights movement ushered in the Third American Revolution, defeating the authoritarianism of Jim Crow, which John Roberts' Supreme Court is bringing back. Listen to our episode on Stride Toward Freedom, the memoir by a young MLK Jr. after he captured the world's attention leading the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Jonah is the perfect example of a man who knew God's calling, yet resisted it anyway. Similarly, there are some things we have no problem handing over to Christ. But when it comes to others, we can't let go. Dr. Stanley encourages us to address the areas we haven't surrendered to God.Donate: https://store.intouch.org/donate/generalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE AXIS OF RESISTANCE Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Fitton-Brown explains how the fall of the Iranian regime would devastate its regional proxies, including Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias, which depend on IRGC funding and training. Without Tehran's "big brother" support, these groups would likely be forced to make accommodations with local governments. He also notes Hezbollah's role as an international drug cartel.

In this episode, Brooke Thomas delves into the often-overlooked challenge of protecting the vision that God has entrusted to us, especially as women leaders and entrepreneurs. She unpacks how vision doesn't typically disappear in loud, dramatic moments, but quietly gets lost through discouragement, distraction, delay, and isolation. Brooke shares her personal insights, biblical encouragement, and practical strategies for guarding your vision, staying anchored in faith, and resisting the temptation to give up during slow or unseen seasons. With a focus on community, active trust, and devoted prayer, Brooke equips listeners to stay awake to their calling and trust that God is not done until it's good. This episode will inspire you to reclaim clarity, nurture your momentum, and pursue your divine purpose with confidence and hope.
