This week, Ciarnan and Kev are breaking down some of the wildest stories in sports. Starting off with the NCAA denying Brendan Sorsby reinstatement request, as the duo discusses if league rules need adjusting to match the current state of gambling laws. The two then turn to Ed Orgeron returing to Lane Kiffin's staff at LSU with all the hilarious way that could go wrong, and discuss the SEC potentially seceding from the NCAA (apparently they did not learn their lesson the first time). The boys also break down the Protect College Sports Act, as well as the NCAA's continued investigation into age based eligibility requirements, before diving into the history of Big 12 logos! From anthropomorphic birds hitting the town to overdesigns all the way to way too minimalism, they have it all in one of the strongest showings of conference logos so far.   00:00 Breaking university rules and consequences 07:16 Betting on unrelated sports events 15:33 Discussing college sports legislation 21:14 Future of the NCAA system 22:07 SEC's competitive advantage 29:55 SEC ends cupcake week tradition 38:25 Discussing logo design details 40:05 Choosing a BYU logo design 45:58 Discussing changes in team logos 53:08 Preparing for a night out 55:46 Designing the logo's balance 

On the occasion of the exhibition Vienna–Copenhagen. Den Frie Udstilling 2026 at the artists' association Den Frie in Copenhagen, the co-organisers Sofie Thorsen and Henrik Plenge Jakobsen talk with the art historian and curator Vanessa Joan Müller about, among other things, the model of the artists' association, its historical roots, and the collaborative work and lively exchange leading up to the current exhibition. For the exhibition, the artists' association Den Frie Udstilling invited their colleagues from the sister institution, Vienna Secession, to participate as guest exhibitors. 45 artists from Den Frie Udstilling present their work in dialogue with 125 Austrian artist colleagues from Vienna Secession. Like Den Frie, the Secession was founded in the 1890s, and the two institutions remain among the few exhibition venues in Europe still owned and run by artists. As is the case of Den Frie Udstilling, Vienna Secession also counts some of the country's most prominent artists among its members. More The conversation was recorded on 12 February 2026 at the Secession. Sofie Thorsen was born in Denmark in 1971 and now lives and works in Vienna. Her mostly installation-based work is dedicated to questions of perception, space and the architectural object. She has exhibited her work internationally in numerous group and solo exhibitions, and has produced a number of works for public spaces, as well as publishing artist books and monographs. She is currently an associate professor at the Funen Academy of Fine Arts in Odense, DK. Henrik Plenge Jakobsen's (DK, 1967) artistic work is based on conceptual sculpture, installation, performance and art in public space. He works with universal themes in economics, history and politics as well as basic existential phenomena such as anxiety, alienation and coexistence.  He is educated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Institute des Hautes Etudes en Art Plastique, and Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, Paris. He was professor at the Royal Institue of Art in Stockholm, Oslo National Academy of the Arts, and the Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen. Past exhibitions include: Centre Pompidou (Paris), Den Frie (Copenhagen), Arken Museum of Contemporary Art (Ishøj), Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen (Düsseldorf), South London Gallery (London), SMK - The National Gallery of Denmark (Copenhagen), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Portikus (Frankfurt am Main), and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk, DK) Vanessa Joan Müller, born in Hamburg (GE) in 1968, is an art historian, curator and author. From 2000 to 2005 she worked as a curator at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, from 2006 to 2011 she was Director of the Kunstverein in Düsseldorf, and from 2013 to 2020 she headed the Dramaturgy Department at Kunsthalle Wien. Selected exhibition projects from recent years include: Stephanie Rizaj: Silent Polyglot, National Gallery of Kosova, Pristina (2026); Dorit Margreiter Choy: Passage, Cukrarna, Ljubljana (2025); Willem Oorebeek & Jieun Lim, Curated by, Vienna (2025); to display, to support, to care, Universitätsgalerie der Angewandten im Heiligenkreuzerhof, Vienna (2024); and Unfamiliar Familiars, Leopold Museum, Vienna (2024).

Künstler und Secessionsmitglied Peter Sandbichler spricht mit Angela Stief (Direktorin der Albertina Modern), die seine Arbeit seit den frühen 2000er-Jahren intensiv begleitet und mehrfach mit ihm gearbeitet hat. Im Gespräch widmen sie sich Sandbichlers skulpturaler Praxis, die sich, wie Stief formuliert, „einer eindeutigen Kategorisierung entzieht“ und zugleich von einem tiefen Interesse an Architektur und öffentlichem Raum geprägt ist. Unter anderem spricht Sandbichler darüber, wie ihn Denken und Werk von Buckminster Fuller beeinflusst haben, sowie über sein Interesse an Kunst im öffentlichen Raum, die unmittelbare Begegnungen mit Kunst ermöglicht, große Sichtbarkeit schafft und die Chance bietet, ein sehr vielfältiges Publikum zu erreichen – verbunden mit einem Moment des Zufalls und der Unkontrollierbarkeit. Das Gespräch wurde am 22. Jänner 2026 in der Secession aufgezeichnet. Peter Sandbichler, geboren 1964 in Kufstein, lebt in Wien. Studium an der Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst in Wien bei Wander Bertoni, anschließend Bildhauerei an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien bei Bruno Gironcoli sowie Neue Medien an der Staatlichen Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Frankfurt am Main bei Peter Weibel. 1995 Österreichischer Pavillon auf der Biennale di Venezia. Sandbichler ist ein konzeptueller Bildhauer, der gesellschaftspolitische Themen mit grundlegenden Fragen nach der skulpturalen Ästhetik, nach Fläche, Raum und Zeit genauso wie nach Material, Form und Verfahren verknüpft. Mit unterschiedlichen Medien erzeugt er raumgreifende Objekte, Installation wie auch architektonische Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum. Dabei agiert der Künstler an der Schnittstelle von Deformation und Perfektion. Er operiert mit Strukturen, Ornamenten und Rastern, zerlegt diese und generiert neue Ordnungen. www.petersandbichler.com Angela Stief, geboren 1974 in Augsburg (D) ist Kunsthistorikerin, Kuratorin und Kulturpublizistin. Sie studierte Kunstgeschichte und Philosophie. Von 2002 bis 2013 war sie Kuratorin in der Kunsthalle Wien. 2020 übernahm sie die Gastprofessur für kuratorische Praxis an der Universität Linz. Seit 2020 arbeitet sie in der Albertina und wurde 2021 zur Direktorin der Albertina Modern und Chefkuratorin für Kunst der Gegenwart in der Albertina berufen. Sie verfasst zahlreiche Beiträge über Gegenwartskunst für Monografien, Kataloge und Magazine. Ausgewählte Ausstellungen: KAWS.

Listen to Reba Maybury and curator Haris Giannouras talk about her new exhibition, about punk and labour, among other things. It was recorded on 4 March 2026, a day before the opening of Reba Maybury's exhibition I Come in Peace. For her solo exhibition at Secession Maybury worked on a new body of work that engages directly with the misogynistic histories of the institution, confronting Klimt as a figure entrenched in privilege and power, a classical prototype of male artistic genius. In her practice the artist interrogates the intersections of feminism, sexuality, and power. Their discussion touches on the new works produced for the exhibition while addressing issues of punk, sex, labour, and the gendered side of power. Reba Maybury is an artist, writer and dominatrix sometimes working under the name Mistress Rebecca. Her work explores the tension between her perceived strength as an object of fantasy and how through the reality of sex work she attempts to turn this power into something tangible. Much of her art practice is physically created by her submissives through her direction as a way to further the complicated imbalances of labour under sex work, gender and entitlement and an attempt to empower her further than men's desires, leaving her with more than just a payment from them. Her first novella is named Dining with Humpty Dumpty (2017) and more recently she published Faster Than an Erection (2021 & 2024); From Paris with Love (2024); and Pervert or Detective? (with Lucy McKenzie, 2025). Themes of capital, labour, sexuality, female perversion, desire, banality, pleasure, and bureaucracy as torture and humiliation are essential to her practice. Haris Giannouras works with artists to make exhibitions, artworks, publications and events. He is currently a curator at the Secession in Vienna. Before that he worked at MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST in Frankfurt am Main and Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach. Recent projects include work with Studio for Propositional Cinema, Cana Bilir-Meier, Atelier Bow-Wow, Andrea Büttner, Jamie Crewe, Beatrice Gibson, Onyeka Igwe, Hiwa K, Ghislaine Leung, Duane Linklater, Karī Mugo, Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press, and the Estate of Suzan Pitt.

Ndidi Dike's exhibition Rare Earth Rare Justice unfolds as a large-scale installation structured around absence, death, and mourning and was developed over a year by the artist in close collaboration with Secession's tech and curatorial team. Thanks to a “Dialogue Residency” supported by the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, the artist was able to spend two months in Vienna, working in detail on the elements of the installation and the accompanying publication. The extended stay also allowed the artist to reflect on the work and experience how visitors would interact with it once the exhibition had opened. Further chapters will be presented at Färgfabriken, Stockholm and Zachęta – National Gallery of Art, Warsaw. Towards the end of the residency, Ndidi Dike and Jeanette Pacher recorded this podcast as part of an ongoing conversation between the artist and the curator. Ndidi Dike Rare Earth Rare Justice 6.3. – 31.5.2026 At the centre of Rare Earth Rare Justice lies the ongoing exploitation of the African continent's natural resources, and specifically the extraction of cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Dike traces how extractive industries fuel ecological devastation, climate change, displacement, and resource-driven conflicts, exposing how global demand for technology is met through systemic violence and dispossession. More Ndidi Dike is an internationally renowned British-Nigerian sculptor and multi-disciplinary artist born in London. Rare Earth Rare Justice is her first major solo exhibition at an Austrian institution. Dike works across mixed media, painting, sculpture, collage, photography, video, and installation. Her practice engages with the social, political, and economic conditions shaping the modern world, with a particular focus on the legacies of colonialism, postcolonialism, forced migration, and global capitalism. Solo exhibitions include Working Through an Impasse, Art Twenty-One, Lagos, NG (2021), In the Guise of Resource Control, Villa Vassilieff, Paris (2017), State of the Nation, National Museum Onikan, Lagos, NG (2016) and Waka-into-Bondage: The Last ¾ Mile, Centre for Contemporary Art CCA, Lagos, NG (2008). Her work has been presented at biennials like Sharjah Biennial 16 (2025), Nigerian Pavilion, 60th Venice Biennale (2024), Sonsbeek 20–24, Arnhem, NL (2021), Lagos Biennial, NG (2019), Dak'Art Biennale, Dakar and 11th Bienal do Mercosul, Porto Alegre, BR (both 2018). Dike's work can currently also be seen at Tate Modern, London in the acclaimed group exhibition Nigerian Modernism: Art and Independence (on view until 10 May 2026). www.instagram.com/ndidi.dike/ Jeanette Pacher is a curator at the Vienna Secession since 2007.

Most Americans can agree that Washington, D.C. is beyond reform! The federal government no longer even pretends that its constitutional powers are limited in nature as evidenced by the national debt which grows regardless of which party is in power. The American people are no more than indentured servants to the ever-expanding, Goliath ship of the state — a bloated, unaccountable Leviathan that slipped its constitutional moorings long ago and is now drifting wildly, captained by fools and looted by pirates. The secession movement in Alberta, Canada offers Americans the opportunity to reflect on how to extricate themselves from this situation.  Show Notes Twitter | Rumble | BitChute | Spotify | Apple -------------------------------- Truth Quest Podcast Ep. 191 – The Truth About the Petrodollar Ep. 87 - The Truth About Secession - Part I Ep. 88 - The Truth About Secession - Part II Ep. 110 - The Truth About How to Save America from Itself Ep. 128 - The Truth About Opposition to Secession Ep. 192 - A Practical Guide to State Secession Ep. 341 – The Truth About States Rights QUICK RANT About State Secession EPIC RANT - How to Save America from Itself Support the podcast by shopping at the Truth Quest Shirt Factory.

Der Künstler Hans Schabus, der in der Secession zweimal ausstellte und im Vorstand tätig war, und die dort langjährig tätige Kuratorin Kathrin Rhomberg sprechen über die Secession als Bezugsraum der eigenen Arbeit, über die Bedeutung der konfrontativen, provokanten Energie der Kunst als Ort der Handlung – und den Ausstellungsraum als Ort der die unmittelbare Erfahrung dieser Kraft ermöglicht. Sie sprechen auch über Schabus' Ausstellung im Grafischen Kabinett 1996, die er in das darunterliegende Ver-Sacrum-Zimmer erweiterte und – sichtbar nach außen durch das Vernageln der Fenster der beiden Räume an der Fassade – verband, sowie über seine mittlerweile legendäre Ausstellung Astronaut (Komme gleich), bei der er 2003 den Zugang zum Hauptraum zugemauert hat. Seine intensive Beschäftigung mit dem Untergrund als Verkörperung einer verkehrten Utopie führte damals nicht nur dazu, die Repräsentationsidee des vermeintlich ersten White Cubes zu brechen und zum Verschwinden zu bringen. Sie mündete auch in mehreren Kurzfilmen, darunter Western, den er 2002 in der Wiener Kanalisation drehte und Astronaut (2003), im von ihm errichteten Tunnelsystem in der Secession. Das Gespräch wurde am 28. Jänner 2026 in der Secession aufgezeichnet. Hans Schabus wurde 1970 in Watschig / Österreich geboren und lebt in Wien. Von 1991 bis 1996 studierte er Bildhauerei bei Bruno Gironcoli an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien. Seit 2012 unterrichtet er an der Universität für angewandte Kunst, wo er die Abteilung für Skulptur und Raum leitet. Hans Schabus zeigt seine Arbeiten seit 1992 im nationalen wie internationalen Kontext. Kathrin Rhomberg ist eine in Wien ansässige Kuratorin. Seit 2014 ist sie Vorstandsvorsitzende und künstlerische Leiterin der Kontakt Sammlung. Zuvor war sie Kuratorin und Leiterin des Ausstellungsbüros der Secession Wien sowie Direktorin des Kölnischen Kunstvereins in Köln. Sie kuratierte unter anderem 2009 den tschechisch-slowakischen Pavillon (Roman Ondak) bei der 53. Biennale von Venedig, die 6. Berlin Biennale 2010, den Pavillon der Republik Kosovo (Petrit Halilaj) bei der 55.

In diesem Gespräch mit der Kuratorin und Kunsthistorikerin Lisa Ortner-Kreil spricht Hans Kupelwieser über seine langjährige Verbindung zur Secession, wo seine Arbeiten bereits 1981 in der von Peter Weibel und Anna Auer kuratierten Ausstellung Erweiterte Fotografie [Extended Photography] gezeigt wurden—ein Ereignis, das er als Beginn seiner künstlerischen Laufbahn betrachtet. Seit mehr als vier Jahrzehnten schafft er Werke in einer Vielzahl von Medien, vor allem Skulpturen, aber auch Fotografien sowie großformatige Installationen. Darüber hinaus spricht der Künstler über Methoden der Verfremdung, Prozesse der Verzerrung, die Rolle des Zufalls in der künstlerischen Produktion, die unvorhersehbaren Ergebnisse der Arbeit mit Fotogrammen sowie Farbe als Bedeutungsträger; nicht zuletzt verweist er auf die Bedeutung der Wahrnehmung, die Erweiterung unserer Sehgewohnheiten und den sogenannten „Kupelwieser-Effekt“. Das Gespräch wurde am 16. Jänner 2026 in der Secession aufgezeichnet. Hans Kupelwieser wurde 1948 in Lunz am See geboren, besuchte Anfang der 1970er-Jahre die Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Wien und studierte von 1976 bis 1982 bei Herbert Tasquil, Bazon Brock und Peter Weibel an der Hochschule (heute Universität) für angewandte Kunst Wien. Von 1995 bis 2014 war er Professor am Institut für Zeitgenössische Kunst an der TU Graz. Er lebt in Wien und in Lunz am See. Er hatte Einzelausstellungen unter anderem bei Giese & Schweiger, Wien (2023), Kunsthalle Krems (2022), Wienerroither & Kohlbacher, Wien (2020), Galerie 422, Gmunden (2019), smolka contemporary, Wien; Galerie rauminhalt, Wien (beide 20218), Art Box, MQ Wien; Haus der Kunst, Brünn (beide 2016), Kunsthalle Nexus, Saalfelden (2015), Zeit.Kunst.Niederösterreich, St. Pölten (2012).

What if Western Australia became its own country? In this episode, Branchy is joined by economist Professor Gigi Foster and former barrister Julian Gillespie, authors of Secession by Western Australia. Together they propose the bold idea of WA leaving the Australian federation and becoming an independent nation.The proposal includes abolishing income tax, funding government through royalties on WA's vast natural resources, and creating a sovereign wealth fund similar to Norway's to secure long-term prosperity. The conversation also dives into government transparency, health system reform, and returning decision-making power to the people.Is this a realistic pathway… or just a radical idea designed to challenge the system we've all accepted? Regardless this is a conversation that will make you question how our country is run.www.SecessionWABook.shopemail: SecessionWA@proton.mePATREON Support The Hard Yarns and get access to exclusive drops, content, live shows and promo codes : www.patreon.com/thehardyarnspodcast FIND US Email: info@thehardyarns.com Instagram: @thehardyarnspodcast YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thehardyarnspodcastTikTok: @thehardyarnspodcast Web: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thehardyarns.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SPONSORS All Trades Cover - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.alltradescover.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Crafted Finance - https://www.craftedfinance.com.auHard Yarns is Produced by B32media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#hardyarns⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#comedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss executive authority and secession before introducing Kevin Portteus. The United States Constitution was designed to secure the natural rights proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. Signed by Constitutional Convention delegates on September 17, 1787—Constitution Day—it was ratified by the American people and remains the most enduring and successful constitution in history. In this twelve-lecture course, students will examine the political theory of the American Founding and subsequent challenges to that theory throughout American history. Topics covered in this course include: the natural rights theory of the Founding, the meaning of the Declaration and the Constitution, the crisis of the Civil War, the Progressive rejection of the Founding, and the nature and form of modern liberalism. The South’s justification for secession was based on an erroneous reading of the Constitution. Whereas the South claimed a legal right to secede, Lincoln opposed what he called an illegal insurrection and sought to secure a “new birth of freedom” in America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shortly before the opening on 28 November 2026, Cevdet Erek talks with curator Bettina Spörr about his exhibition and sound installation on Secession's façade. Cevdet Erek Secessions-Ornamentik  29.11.2025 – 22.2.2026 Some of Cevdet Erek's site-specific installations and sonic environments, placed at the intersection of sound, sculpture, and architecture, evolve around the idea of ‘sound ornamentation'. With this term, the artist refers to Adolf Loos's Ornament and Crime (1908) amongst others. This text celebrates lack of ornamentation as the mark of a ‘cultivated' society. Loos' polemic is key to a moralising discourse that once sought to purge architecture of decoration in the name of progress. In that context, ornament – associated with sensuality, femininity, and excess – was condemned as wasteful and irrational. Loos' text linked ornament to primitivism and degeneration, framing modern Western culture as superior to the supposedly ‘undeveloped'. Such rhetoric not only marginalised the close relationship between ornament and abstraction but also exposed the colonial and patriarchal logics underpinning modernist aesthetics. Erek re-enters this ideological terrain, transforming ornamentation from decorative surface into temporal, vibratory structure – one that organises space and perception. In his installations sound is not background but architecture itself – something built, inhabited, and experienced by bodies in motion. Here, ornamentation becomes a verb: it describes the act of tuning, of aligning oneself with surrounding frequencies. Through attention, the visitor becomes part of the composition. In this way, Erek's installations dissolve the boundaries between composer and listener, architecture and inhabitant. More Cevdet Erek was born in Istanbul in 1974, where he lives and works. He has developed site-specific installations and presented his work extensively in solo and group exhibitions, among others at Museumsquartier, Vienna; Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin; Art Institute of Chicago; M HKA – Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp; MUAC Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City; Pavilion of Turkey, 57th Venice Biennale; Spike Island, Bristol; Kunsthalle Basel, Basel; Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool; 36th Bienal de São Paulo (both 2025); Manifesta 14, Pristina (2022); Gropius Bau, Berlin; SFMOMA, San Francisco; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt am Main; 5th Marrakech Biennale (2014); Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Sharjah Biennial 11 (2013); 9th Gwangju Biennale (2012); CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco; dOCUMENTA 13, Kassel (2012); 12th Istanbul Biennial (2011); Tate Modern, London. Since 2008, Bettina Spörr is a curator at the Secession, where she engages in close collaboration with artists to conceptualise and realise exhibitions that explore the profound impact of contemporary art on society. Throughout her career, she has worked with numerous artists on solo exhibitions and, in 2010, curated the group show where do we go from here? at the Secession.

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss whether or not the American Founding supported slavery before introducing Kevin Portteus. The United States Constitution was designed to secure the natural rights proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence.

Topics covered in this course include: the natural rights theory of the Founding, the meaning of the Declaration and the Constitution, the crisis of the Civil War, the Progressive rejection of the Founding, and the nature and form of modern liberalism. Contrary to the Founders’ guiding principle of equality and their hopes for eventual abolition, slavery not only survived but spread and became entrenched in the South. Subsequently, a new ideology arose in defense of slavery, which rejected the principles of the Founding and fueled the sectional crisis that led to the Civil War.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Synopsis:  As the federal government's grip on power tightens, a growing movement is harnessing the power of local governments to resist authoritarianism and protect constitutional freedoms.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: There are countless strategies for resisting authoritarianism — many of which we've discussed on this program. This time, we're looking at ways to stop the MAGA Right using the power of cities and states. What's possible when people take federalism seriously and partner with state officials to protect their constitutional freedoms — and elections — from being violated by the federal government? Our guests are organizers and strategists with experience and plans for outmaneuvering MAGA at the state and municipal level. Christopher Armitage is a U.S. Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, writer, and founder of “The Existentialist Republic” on Substack. He is the author of a handbook on “Oppositional Federalism”. Sumathy Kumar is the Executive Director of Housing Justice for All and the New York State Tenant Bloc. She was the former Co-Chair of the NYC Democratic Socialists of America and under her leadership, NYC-DSA elected six socialist legislators to the New York State Legislature, including mayor Zohran Mamdani. From withholding federal revenue to building social housing, hear the creative ways people and local governments can turn up the heat. All that, plus a commentary from Laura.“We need to take power away from the Trump administration and from the GOP. That means taking that power and putting it locally . . . Being able to provide a good quality of life in an affordable environment for your residents is soft succession.”“Tenants are half the state in New York, they're 70% of the city . . . What I tell people is that you're not by yourself, you're with millions of other people who want this. It is scary to resist what's happening, especially when we see what ICE is doing, what the federal government is doing to people who stand up. But they are doing that because they are feeling threatened by the resistance . . .” - Sumathy KumarGuests:• Christopher Armitage: Journalist & Policy Strategist; Substack, The Existentialist Republic; Author, Oppositional Federalism• Sumathy Kumar: Executive Director, Housing Justice for All & NY State Tenant Bloc Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Secular Rarity and The Cross Examiner dismantle the legal myths of Christian nationalism and expose the tribalistic roots of biblical law. From the dark history of slavery in the Levant to modern-day "persecution" complexes, the hosts challenge believers to provide evidence that justifies merging church and state!Mason in OK argues the Bible guides morality. Hosts pivot to laws regarding chattel slavery in Leviticus 25, questioning why a good deity endorses owning people. They challenge the reliance on tradition to mask biblical cruelty. How does one choose which divine commands to follow?Emmanuel in TX proposes a theocracy where non-believers are taxed to incentivize conversion. Hosts identify this as a violation of the First Amendment and Establishment Clause. They warn against discriminatory policies that create second-class citizens. Would a just society ever benefit from state-sponsored religious extortion?Mike in SC fears hate speech laws are tools for Christian persecution. The Cross Examiner clarifies that hate crime enhancements require criminal acts and intent, not just offense. They debunk algorithm-driven misinformation regarding religious suppression. Is the perceived war on faith just a result of confirmation bias?Moises in CA questions the need for proof and miracle claims. Hosts apply theological non-cognitivism and note that miracles lack reliable eyewitness accounts. They also explore how faith healing leads to medical neglect. Can a story be a reliable pathway to truth if it cannot be verified?James in OH critiques states' rights rhetoric using the Articles of Secession. Discussion moves to the Insurrection Act and the dangers of religious exemptions in child protection laws. They highlight the struggle against abuse permitted by dogma. Will legal systems ever prioritize children over ancient dogmas?Thank you for joining us this week!

New York Times columnist, co-host of Advisory Opinions and The Dispatch Podcast, and Nashville-based evangelical, David French, returns to the pod once again. This time, we had one big question on our minds: What's with all the Christianity cosplaying taking over politics right now? But an Uncertain Things episode wouldn't be an Uncertain Things episode if we stuck to just one topic! We ended up discussing, among other topics, Jesus Christ, the American Civil War, the likelihood of the dissolution of the union today, Venezuela, C.S. Lewis, and more. As always with Mr. French, it was a delightful, thought-provoking, and nerdy conversation.On the agenda: -A quick question about Jesus Christ [0:00-3:50]-Countdown to our country's dissolution [3:51-22:57]-A tangent on Venezuela [22:58-27:15]-America, the Fundamentalist [27:16-1:09:50]-Advice to a burgeoning Christian [1:09:51-1:20:00]Further reading/listening:* Time to Talk about Secession?
