Activists on Thursday called on local officials to drop all charges against protestors demanding justice for Black lives. Mass arrests have become more common in the last year, with 646 people arrested during a march last November, and another 150 at a protest after the killing of Daunte Wright in April. Some say they are an intimidation tactic to discourage protests against police brutality. --Feven Gerezgiher reports:Activists on Thursday called on local officials to drop all charges against protestors for Black lives. Among them was Eric Dorland with Students for a Democratic Society at the University of Minnesota. He is one of 646 people who were arrested during a march on I-94 last November. “The political statement made by the state when they arrested us was that they do not see our issues as legitimate,” he said. “They are opposed to [the] justice that we are standing up for.”  Dorland said the arrests were an intimidation tactic to discourage protesting against police violence. Mass arrests have become more common in the last year, with over 150 people arrested following protests after the police killing of Daunte Wright in April.Immigrant rights advocate Francisco Sanchez says protests were a key part of the fight for justice in the George Floyd case. “The public lynching of George Floyd pushed the people to act. Nobody should be punished for demanding justice for stolen life, much less punished by the city who took the life in the first place,” said Sanchez.This more than a year after pawn shop owner John Rieple shot into a crowd protesting for George Floyd, hitting and killing Minneapolis resident Calvin Horton, Jr. No charges were brought in that case.    “There are protesters in this crowd right now that spent more time in jail than John Rieple did,” said activist Toussaint Morrison on Wednesday, when community members gathered on East Lake Street for what would have been Horton's 45th birthday. Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said there was not sufficient evidence to bring criminal charges in the shooting. According to his office, the investigators had not found video footage or witnesses to clarify what happened during the unrest, but would reconsider charges if evidence appears.

Racial justice activists say it's unacceptable that none of the members of the federal task force were wearing body cams when Winston Smith was shot and killed in Minneapolis late last. Although the Department of Justice passed a policy in 2020 allowing officers to wear body cameras on federal task forces, authorities say it had not yet been implemented by the Minnesota task force. -- Tiffany Bui reports: Minneapolis city workers returned to George Floyd Square at dawn Tuesday to reopen the intersection. This was the second time crews arrived in less than a week. Those at the square moved quickly to create makeshift barriers to block off vehicle traffic.Many parts of the memorial such as the community gardens, flowers, pictures and the iconic fist statue remain intact, although some are now behind concrete barricades.In other news, activists are calling for the resignation of the head of the U.S. Marshals for the District of Minnesota Ramona Dohman. The agency was involved in the fatal shooting of Winston Boogie Smith Jr.“We know that they are not doing the right thing, even when people are looking and filming for nine and a half minutes. How can you expect them to do the right thing when nobody's looking and the body cameras are off and the squad footage is nonexistent?” asked activist Toussaint Morrison. The police and media have also been criticized for spreading misinformation that Smith was a murder suspect. Lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong said the U.S. Marshals have long perpetrated violence against Black people.“It's important for people to understand that the Marshals are the oldest federal law enforcement agency in the history of our country,” explained Levy Armstrong. “And in 1850, marshals were being used to round up fugitive slaves. And just like they did from 1850 to 1864, they're still rounding up Black people and denying them access to their freedom.”Although the Department of Justice passed a policy in 2020 allowing officers to wear body cameras on federal task forces,  authorities say it had not yet been implemented by the Minnesota task force.

We've talked about weather and social media a number of times on WeatherHype, but we wanted to shift gears just a bit and talk about social media and how the weather enterprise uses it. We've seen social networks change and evolve over time. And so have organizations like the National Weather Service in terms of how they take to platforms like Facebook and Twitter to communicate weather and climate information. Today we're taking a little deeper dive into how the National Weather Service uses Twitter. We're also looking at specific examples of how they present information and discuss best practices and what's effective when it comes to social media messaging to the public.

The disaster and natural hazard communities are made up of many moving parts and people that play different roles. Two prominent roles are “the researcher” and “the practitioner.” However, to successfully implement new-found knowledge into practice and to further investigate some of the practical challenges that practitioners face, researchers and practitioners must work together. That’s where Impact360 Alliance can help out. Impact 360 Alliance, which was previously known as the Alliance for Integrative Approaches to Extreme Environmental Events, strives to help researchers and practitioners establish connections, build relationships, and co-create innovative solutions together. On this week’s episode of WeatherHype, we are joined by Dr. Joe Trainor - Director of the Disaster Science and Management Program at the University of Delaware and the Chair of the Impact360 Steering Committee as well as Dr. Scott Miles - the Director of Impact360 Alliance to talk about the importance of building and maintaining researcher and practitioner relationships. You will learn about the up-and-coming organization called Impact360 that strives to build these researcher-practitioner connections. Not only that, but you’ll also pick up some tips to help you collaborate or start one of these mutual partnerships along the way. Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, or a little of both, this episode will have something for you! So, stick around because WeatherHype is coming up next!

Because a majority of our weather information heavily relies on the use of maps and other geographic information, meteorologists are always asking: can people find themselves on a map? This week’s episode of Weather Hype is inspired by a fireside chat that broadcast meteorologist James Spann had a few of months ago. During this discussion, James asks a great question: Can people simply not understand maps? On this episode of Weather Hype, we dig deeper into this question as we search for alternative perspectives to this perception that people cannot find themselves on a map. We examine James Spann’s fireside chat, take a closer look at some of the studies that he cites, and consider an alternative perspective offered by Kim Klockow-McClain in a recent Washington Post article. That and more on this week’s episode of WeatherHype. A podcast where we talk about weather, climate, and how it affects you. So, stay tuned, because WeatherHype is coming up next!

#WxTwitter. It's a fascinating social media community made up of meteorologists, weather enthusiasts and people who just want to talk about all things weather. WxTwitter is a space for collaborative ideas, sharing weather photos and videos and networking. But like any community, there was bound to be disagreements in opinion and clashing of ideas. We had an episode dedicated to WxTwitter a couple years ago exploring this online community. Now we're looking at how this niche social media world has evolved, and some of the benefits and challenges it presents to the social fabric of meteorology, especially with our next generation of meteorologists. We're joined by Becky DePodwin and Dakota Smith, two people who are very active and very familiar with the wonderful world of WxTwitter. In a candid and honest conversation, we'll dive into our own experiences on the digital platform and look at ways we can successfully coexist while bringing out the best in each other.

In October of 2018, Super Typhoon Yutu, packing winds of 180 mph, slammed into Saipan, the largest island of the Northern Mariana Islands. And in it's wake, complete destruction. We talk with April Lipinski, who works with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. And she was in Saipan after the island and other parts of the commonwealth were left reeling from the devastating impacts of the storm. While April and her team were working to help the people of Saipan, there was an interesting rumor that came about... a rumor that there might be animals in need of help And with the help of several agencies and organizations, the gears were put in place to rescue these animals from Saipan. We also talk with Pat Craig, the executive director of the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado where Tasha and Lambert were taken after the storm. On episode 56 of WeatherHype, our second episode for 2019's National Weather Podcast Month, we talk with April and Pat about the recovery process for Saipan immediately after Super Typhoon Yutu. And share the story of Lambert the Lion and Tasha the Tiger, and their amazing journey from the middle of the Pacific to Colorado's Wild Animal Sanctuary, a 10,473 acre sanctuary for more than 500 rescued animals.   Special thanks to Becky DePodwin from the podcast Ice Station Housman, for our Weather Ready Nation Spring Weather Safety Message.

You know, as a meteorologist, did you know you can be right half the time but still have a job. The amount of times we all hear that, am I right? There's no doubt public perception of weather and weather forecasting isn't always great. And with many meteorologists and forecasters in the spotlight, the hate messages can be downright hurtful, and that can take a terrible mental toll on those who work so hard to predict the weather. But, many on-air personalities have had enough, and they're fighting back. That was meteorologist James Spann at ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama. He reads mean tweets sent in by listeners. And in this case, his viewers are complaining about his winter weather forecast earlier this year. He's not the only one. Meteorologist Heather Waldman from WGRZ in Buffalo, New York is also defending forecasting, using a more educational approach. More and more meteorology professionals are taking to social media and the airwaves to fight back against haters and trollers. And we examine that on this week's episode of WeatherHype.

Currently, the weather community uses the Saffir-Simpson scale to communicate potential property damage due to hurricane force winds. At its core, the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane’s sustained wind speed. However, recently the weather community has begun to question whether categorizing hurricanes based solely on their wind speed can effectively communicate the multitude of hazards that often accompany tropical weather. To address this concern, AccuWeather recently announced on January 9th at the American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting that they will be using a new AccuWeather RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes starting in 2019. Although a much needed step in our community and a topic we have been discussing for years, meteorologists are asking: is it too soon to put this new RealImpact Scale into practice? To answer this question, we will dive deep into the AccuWeather RealImpact Scale, discuss the positives and negatives that accompany such a drastic change to the weather community, and ask some tough questions relating to the social scientific aspects of this new scale.

It's been a few months since Castle and Minh were able to record an episode of WeatherHype together, so obviously there's going to be a bit of shenanigans in this episode. In addition to everyone's favorite "Song of the Week" segment, we have some cool gift ideas for the weather person in your life, a few organizations that we will be giving to this holiday season, and lots of other weird things...because, well, it's us. Did you not expect it to get a little weird? Castle is giving to: Cool Effect - Combining science, expertise, and transparency, we are creating a community built around one simple vision: give people the power and confidence to band together and reduce the carbon pollution that causes climate change.   Carbon Fund - A whopping 50,000 pounds a year! That’s the average American's total carbon footprint which includes the emissions from your home, car, air travel and everything you use. We are all responsible for climate change and we all must be part of the solution. American Red Cross - We respond to an emergency every 8 minutes. No one else does this: not the government, not other charities. From small house fires to multi-state natural disasters, the American Red Cross goes wherever we’re needed, so people can have clean water, safe shelter and hot meals when they need them most. Minh is giving to: Maxfund - MaxFund is a true no kill animal shelter and adoption center that challenges the traditional methods of animal sheltering by leading the no kill movement in Colorado. We strive to give animals, including the injured, abandoned, and abused, a "second chance at life. Colorado Uplift - Colorado UpLift employs full-time staff who are committed to the students they serve. As teacher/mentors and life coaches, they develop long-term relationships as early as elementary school. This bond continues through middle and high school, providing the relational support missing from students’ lives. Colorado UpLift uses a relational approach that produces superior results.

Impostor Syndrome is the psychological phenomenon in which an individual doubts their accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. Despite evidence of their accomplishments, most individuals attribute their success to luck, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent than they perceive themselves to be. Have you ever had feelings like this? Ever felt overwhelmed in your job or in school? Ever feel like it is extremely difficult to balance your personal identity with your work identity? Well you are not alone! Today, we are joined by Katie Wedemeyer-Stombel, who is happiest in the ocean, loves to bake, and enjoys hanging out with her dog and husband. But, she’s also a PhD Candidate at the University of Texas-El Paso - remember it’s important to balance your work and life, but we’ll get to that later. We are incredibly excited to have her on the show, as she has become a champion and incredible advocate for graduate students everywhere. She openly discusses her successes AND struggles in graduate school through her blog and on Twitter, as both a way to connect and relate to graduate students everywhere. This open dialogue about self-care, mental health awareness, and navigating professional and personal relationships in graduate school creates a sense of camaraderie and transparency about graduate student life. On this week’s episode, we will discuss work-life balance, impostor syndrome, as well as tips and strategies for overcoming some of these challenges in all walks of professional life. Stay tuned, our deep dive with Katie is coming up next!

What if we made "America From Scratch" today rather than 250 years ago? Would 12-year-olds be allowed to vote? What if there were no states? Host Toussaint Morrison joins the PBS Digital Studios family to ask these big questions and celebrate the incredible opportunities represented by our ongoing American experiment. Produced by Rewire as part of the Twin Cities PBS "In It Together" initiative. Today my guests are Josef Lorenzo and Maribel Lopez. I had them on to discuss their PBS Digital Series AMERICA FROM SCRATCH.

In this season one finale of the "America From Scratch" podcast we look back on the first season of the YouTube series with a little help from our friends at the Minnesota State Fair. Host Toussaint Morrison is joined by producer Josef Lorenzo, writer Katie Moritz, executive producer and director of Rewire.org, Maribel Lopez, and series creator David Gillette. What would you change about America if we were starting from scratch today?   Watch all 11 episodes on YouTube. And subscribe to the YouTube channel for news about season 2!

As Hurricane Florence made landfall on Friday, September 14th near Wrightsville, NC, meteorologists were forecasting that roughly 10 million gallons of rainfall would impact North Carolina and the surrounding states. You heard me right - 10 million gallons! To try and put that into perspective, that is enough to fill 15 million Olympic size swimming pools, 36 thousand Empire State buildings, and 60 million Washington Memorials. How can we even communicate something that is so hard to imagine? Join us as we talk all about the communication challenges and successes that took place during Hurricane Florence. From the use of the term "weakening," to the debates surrounding the Saffir-Simpson scale. We have it all on this episode of WeatherHype!

Voter turnout in the U.S. consistently makes headlines, but not for the reasons you'd want. In the U.S., only 55 percent of eligible people cast a vote for president in 2016. Host Toussaint Morrison brings the podcast to the Minnesota State Fair to discuss compulsory voting with a live audience. He's joined by Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, Joseph Mansky, elections manager for Ramsey County and moderator David Gillette. 

Doppler radar technology is easily accessible, and we often see if on our local news, on our weather apps, and on websites. But do people know how to properly use radars to access weather conditions? Do people find radars to be useful for their day-to-day activities? We talk with Michelle Saunders, a PhD candidate at the University of South Florida, who's looking into these questions and ideas. Plus, we talk to one person who's never really used a radar before (my roomie) and sit down for a one-on-one about her perceptions, thoughts, and interpretation of radar on her smartphone app. That and more on this week's episode!

The military isn't for everyone, but should it be? Over 60 countries around the world require their citizens to serve, but the USA is not one of them. If we were to start our country over again, would we require mandatory military service?  Host Toussaint Morrison is joined by Tanisha Fazal, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota and Colonel Neal Landeen, Retired Deputy Director of Logisitcs, Engineering and Force Protection for the 10th Air Force, to discuss.

A tragic accident involving an amphibious vehicle commonly known as a duck boat has claimed the lives of 17 people including nine members of one family. It happened on Table Rock Lake near the tourist town of Branson, Missouri as two different duck boats carrying dozens of passengers were hit by a severe thunderstorm on the evening of July 19, 2018. While one boat was able to make it to shore safely, the other boat carrying 31 people unfortunately capsized, with 17 people losing their lives. Here’s what Jim Pattison Jr, the president of Ripley Entertainment who owns the duck boat company said during a interview with CBS This Morning: “to the best of our knowledge, there was a fast-moving storm that came out of nowhere." His quote has received a lot of criticism from meteorologists and the weather community. On this episode of Weather Hype, we breakdown the duck boat tragedy from a weather communication perspective and ask: Was this accident preventable? Did the duck boat company actually receive information about the severe weather threat? What can we do moving forward to better promote the dissemination of weather information through organizations and effective weather safety policies? All of this and more on this episode of Weather Hype!

Freedom of speech. Freedom of religion. Freedom of…private data? As the EU adopts the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, it’s time for us to ask what protections should be in place in the United States. Toussaint Morrison sits down with Josh Cutler, formerly with Microsoft Live Labs and now CTO of Rambl, Jennifer Epperson, editor of Blacks in Technology, and "America From Scratch" producer Josef Lorenzo to discuss the idea that if the constitution doesn’t protect our data privacy rights, should we change the constitution? And what would that like?  

Women make up about half the U.S. population – and half of this podcasting roundtable – but gender representation in the U.S. government lags behind more than 100 other countries. Toussaint Morrison, Kathryn Pearson, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota, producer Josef Lorenzo, and Joetta Wright, educator, actor and Toussaint’s podcasting partner on “Double Consciousness,” discuss what could be different if we were building "America From Scratch" today and required an even gender split.

In the weather community, we often talk about vulnerable populations and strive for inclusion of all people. We're joined by Matt Bolton, an undergraduate student at St. Leo University, who has done incredible work relating to this important topic. Matt's work is diverse, and one area he looks into is Autism Spectrum Condition and how it relates to meteorology. Matt shares his insights from his research and experiences in hopes that we can all be more aware and understanding of those who are autistic or who may have autism. Join us for this fascinating conversation.

It’s a document that is worshipped, challenged and amended, but does it need to be rewritten altogether? This week our panel debates whether it’s time for the U.S. Constitution to be scrapped entirely or just reinterpreted with a modern lens. Host Toussaint Morrison and producer Josef Lorenzo are joined by Marissa Luna of the Alliance for a Better Minnesota and John Hinderaker of the Center of the American Experiment to continue the thought experience that is "America From Scratch."

There are 50 and they define us as a united, but often separate, country. The question for our experts, should the United States of America have states at all? Professor David Shultz of Hamline University, Science Policy Director of Fresh Energy J. Drake Hamilton, Professor Peverill Squire of the University of Missouri, intrepid producer Josef Lorenzo and consummate host Toussaint Morrison battle it out on the latest episode of America From Scratch.

How old is old enough to have a voice in our democracy? Is 12 too young? Should there be a cap at 90? We asked our YouTube audience and the response was... hard to miss. Host Toussaint Morrison, producer Josef Lorenzo, Teresa Nelson of the ACLU and almost 12-year-old Brianna Smith weigh in on the question, should 12-year-olds be allowed to vote? We even tackled some of the MANY viewer comments.

In the last two weeks, the eruption of Kīlauea, a shield volcano on the Big Island of Hawai'i, has forced roughly 2,000 residents to evacuate, destroyed around 40 structures, and even caused several serious injuries. We are joined by Dr. Janine Krippner to explore the vast world of volcanology. While the Kīlauea event has been devastating, it is our hope that it can bring hazard communities together to learn from one another. Therefore, this podcast is a first step toward learning about the similarities and differences between the volcanology and meteorological communities. Stay tuned because we are talking all about volcanoes, social media, and risk communication on this new episode of Weather Hype!
