In breaking news, a new lawsuit has been filed to expose the unholy relationship between the Election Denial Movement, “Team America,” a shadowy group within the Trump Administration, and the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, as reported by ProPublica. Popok is joined by Democracy Forward's founder Skye Perryman to discuss her new lawsuit to put all the “liars in one room,” and get to the bottom of the election deniers who are pulling the levers of power for Trump to expose them and ultimately sue to stop them.

The US blockade of ships using Iranian ports has come into force but several Iran-linked tankers have passed through the strait of Hormuz since it began. The blockade is designed to put pressure on Iran, whose economy is dependent on oil and gas exports. It comes after peace talks between Washington and Tehran at the weekend ended without a deal.

Tax Day is on Wednesday, and President Trump and Republican lawmakers are trying to draw attention to new tax cuts and increased deductions approved last year. But with the war, higher gas prices and other economic costs, some polls suggest many Americans don't feel they're benefiting much from the new law.

Hours after a temporary ceasefire deal between the US and Iran was announced last week, Israel unleashed a massive, deadly bombing campaign on Lebanon. In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with award-winning Iranian-Canadian journalist Samira Mohyeddin about the reality that Israel is a rogue state intent on pursuing more war, not diplomacy or peace, and that the US-Israeli war on Iran was never about nuclear threats but about weakening Iran's economic and regional power—at devastating costs to civilians.Guests:Samira Mohyeddin is an award winning producer and broadcaster based in Toronto.

THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update THE HOOK (COLD OPEN) “If you've ever wondered when the federal government decided your constitutional rights needed a permission slip and a background check, welcome to the Gun Control Act of 1968.” THE INTEL (THE STORY) Why?: The 1960s were a mess of race riots, civil unrest, and high-profile assassinations (JFK, MLK, RFK). The political elite used the national panic to ram through a wishlist of federal gun control they had wanted for decades, convincing the public that the legal supply chain was the enemy, rather than the radicals pulling the triggers. The Play-by-Play: What it did: Backroom Deals: Domestic gun manufacturers essentially sold out the people. They backed the bill because it banned the import of cheap, foreign-made handguns—effectively wiping out their competition. The Media Lie: The press sold the GCA as a “targeted” bill to stop assassins. They completely ignored that it effectively criminalized the interstate market, invented the “prohibited persons” list, and choked off the legal supply chain for everyday citizens. The Reality Check (Hidden Incentives): Rumors: Rumor (Highly Credible): Senator Thomas Dodd explicitly modeled the 1968 GCA after Nazi Germany's 1938 Weapons Law. Dodd was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials and public records confirm he had the Library of Congress translate the Nazi law. The structural parallels involving dealer licensing, tracking, and “sporting” clauses are nearly identical. Rumor: LBJ's push for the law was heavily influenced by elite, backroom fears of armed Black Panther patrols in California, rather than just the high-profile assassinations. Gun control is in fact rooted in racism. THE 2A ANGLE (LEGAL & IMPACT) The Threat: The GCA is the mother-ship of modern federal gun control. It created the Federal Firearms License (FFL) system, age restrictions, and the “prohibited persons” list. The ATF's current “zero tolerance” strategy of revoking licenses for misspelled words is entirely dependent on the FFL chokepoint created right here in '68. Bruen Test: Regulatory Creep: Pattern 1: Regulate the seller instead of banning the buyer (creating the FFL dependency). Pattern 2: Exploit intentionally vague language (like “engaged in the business”) so unelected bureaucrats can expand the law later without a Congressional vote. Pattern 3: Frame rights restrictions as “regulating interstate commerce” to bypass the Constitution. Pattern 4: Build the architecture of a registry quietly through compliance paperwork (Form 4473). THE TALKING POINTS (ON-AIR READY) WLS IS LIFESTYLE GFEN's Gun Maker's Match GMM is an annual DIY gun competition event that is the first official shooting competition exclusively for individuals who make their own guns. Multiple stage events are conducted for both Kit Built and 3D Printed guns in Pistol, PCC, and Rifle Divisions, with a special side match for .22lr 3D Printed Firearms. Guns For Everyone National has created the first Competition Series for 3D Printed & Kit Built Firearms.0 THE ALLEY AuxArc 3D Printable Firearms Holsters and Gear @AuxArc is a MakerWorld profile specializing in 3D printable models for firearms accessories, including holsters compatible with Glock 17/19 and Ruger RXM, as well as storage solutions for ammo and batteries. Pinned models feature OWB and IWB holsters with options for lights like Streamlight TLR-1/TLR-7 and optic cuts. These are designed for 3D printing with some watertight and parametric features, but no detailed mechanical specs beyond compatibility are provided. GOING BALLISTIC National Rifle Association v. NRA Foundation Lawsuit (Washington, D.C.) The NRA Foundation faces ongoing transparency issues in a lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association alleging illegal trademark use and failure to distribute funds. The Washington, D.C. Attorney General's office mediated the dispute but efforts failed, leading to a FOIA request (R005465-030626) for leadership details. The Foundation provided its 2024 Form 990 but refuses to disclose current trustees, officers, or salaries until the 2025 filing on November 15, 2026. New York Proposed Bills Reclassify BB Guns and Air Guns as Imitation Firearms (Savage) New York lawmakers have introduced bills in both the Assembly and Senate to reclassify airguns, BB rifles, and pellet guns as imitation firearms, requiring barrel plugs and toy-like coloration that would render them non-functional for firing projectiles. This aims to prevent police shootings involving realistic-looking airguns mistaken for real firearms. Paintball guns are exempted but face a raised purchase age from 16 to 18, while manufacturers would be deemed firearms industry members subject to public nuisance lawsuits. Colorado SB 26-043: Firearm Barrel Background Checks (Savage) Colorado Senate Bill 26-043 requires background checks, dealer transfers, and five-year recordkeeping for sales or transfers of firearm barrels, treating them like complete firearms. Non-serialized barrels must be serialized, with penalties including up to 30 days in jail and $500 fine for first-offense violations. The bill targets ghost guns but imposes compliance on all law-abiding gun owners in Colorado. Virginia HB40: Spanberger Signs Ghost Gun Ban (Savage) Virginia Governor Spanberger signed HB40, banning the manufacture, transfer, sale, importation, and eventual possession of unserialized firearms and unfinished frames or receivers in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The law establishes a serialization process for federal firearms licensees but includes no grandfather clause. Most provisions take effect January 1, 2027, with the possession ban effective July 1, 2027.0 OCC and FDIC Final Rule Prohibiting Discrimination Against Firearm Companies (Savage) The OCC and FDIC have issued a new Final Rule that prohibits banking regulators from using ‘reputational risk' as a basis for supervisory actions against institutions serving the firearm and ammunition industry. This rule ends the practice of debanking lawful gun businesses by barring adverse actions based on political, social, or constitutionally protected activities. The National Shooting Sports Foundation praised it as a significant victory under the Trump administration. FPC Statement on Trump Administration's Decision to Support Biden ATF ‘Frame or Receiver' Rule (Savage) Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued a statement criticizing the Trump Administration for maintaining the Biden-era ATF ‘Frame or Receiver' rule after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld it in March 2025. Despite FPC providing a proposed alternative rule in May 2025 and numerous other recommendations, the Administration informed FPC it would preserve the existing definition of firearm ‘frame' and ‘receiver'. FPC accuses the Administration of actively working against Second Amendment rights rather than protecting them. OCC and FDIC Final Rule Prohibiting Reputational Risk-Based Debanking of Firearm Industry The OCC and FDIC issued a final rule that eliminates ‘reputational risk' as a basis for supervisory actions against banks, directly addressing debanking of lawful firearm and ammunition businesses. This change prohibits regulators from encouraging account closures based on political or social views, promoting objective banking supervision. The rule responds to prior findings of inappropriate distinctions against gun-related companies by FDIC-insured institutions. Virginia Proposed Assault Weapons Ban: Gun Store Sales Surge in Henrico County Gun sales in Virginia have surged dramatically as residents rush to purchase firearms ahead of a proposed state ‘assault weapons' ban set to prohibit AR-15 possession after July 1, 2026, unless owned prior. Background checks rose from 47,069 in March 2025 to 79,

The Trump administration says it has now resumed processing Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) for Afghans and their families who assisted the U.S. government. The SIV process was put on hold last year. But a leading group that works with Afghan allies says it's only a “ruse certain to result in blanket denials.” We examine it with our guests: Ellen Smith, founder and executive director of Keeping Our Promise Inc.

Heckmann, Dirk-Oliver www.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews

Heckmann, Dirk-Oliver www.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews

1. U.S.–Iran Conflict Escalation Negotiations with Iran failed after roughly 20 hours because Iran refused to abandon its nuclear ambitions. In response, President Trump is described as ordering a U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, framing it as a decisive measure to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and to stop what is portrayed as Iranian “extortion” of global shipping. The blockade is economic warfare, aimed at cutting off Iran’s oil exports, which are depicted as the backbone of the Iranian economy. 2. Strategic and Economic Impact of the Strait of Hormuz Shutting down the Strait is portrayed as: Crippling Iran financially, by halting oil exports. Pressuring China, described as the primary buyer of Iranian oil. Stress-testing Europe, which is characterized as reluctant to confront Iran directly but still vulnerable to energy shocks. The U.S. control of global sea lanes (“Pax Americana”) gives America leverage over international commerce. 3. Trump Administration’s Policy Framing The Trump approach is: Having clear “red lines”: no uranium enrichment, no nuclear weapons, open shipping lanes, and an end to terror financing. Using maximum pressure before full-scale war, with the blockade portrayed as an intermediate step between diplomacy and total military escalation. Success is defined primarily as preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, with regime collapse described as a desirable but secondary outcome. 4. Criticism of Prior U.S. Policy The Biden administration is heavily criticized for: Not enforcing existing sanctions, allowing Iranian oil exports to rebound. Enabling the growth of a so‑called “ghost fleet” transporting Iranian oil, mainly to China. The argument presented is that this enforcement lapse indirectly funded terrorist groups aligned with Iran. 5. Internal U.S. Political Commentary Democrats are: Opposing or undermining U.S. military actions for partisan reasons. Failing to support allies and projecting weakness internationally. Western Europe is depicted negatively, while Eastern Europe and Middle Eastern allies are portrayed as more supportive of U.S. actions. 6. Eric Swalwell Allegations (“Bombshell”) A major secondary storyline focuses on Congressman Eric Swalwell: Multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including assault, by former staffers. A criminal investigation reportedly opened in New York. Swalwell withdrawing from the California governor’s race is framed as: A political calculation by Democrats to limit electoral damage. Evidence of alleged hypocrisy, with claims the party protected him until it became politically inconvenient. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

At the end of February, OpenAI's C.E.O., Sam Altman, made headlines by swiftly cutting a deal with the Pentagon for his company to replace Anthropic, which had balked at the Trump Administration's bid to use its A.I. technology to power autonomous weapons and aid in mass surveillance. Days earlier, Altman had publicly supported Anthropic's position in the dispute. Altman's rise to power and his founding of OpenAI were predicated on placing safety above other concerns in developing artificial general intelligence. Why did he change his stance on such a fundamental issue? The New Yorker writers Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz spoke with Altman multiple times and interviewed more than a hundred people for their investigation into the leader of one of the most powerful companies in the world, comparing Altman to J. Robert Oppenheimer. Although there is no smoking gun in Altman's hand, the writers find that persistent allegations about his conduct underscore the danger of entrusting him to wield such vast power over the future.  Further reading: "Sam Altman May Control Our Future—Can He Be Trusted?,” by Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz “The Dangerous Paradox of A.I.

Trump vs. the Machine reveals why the Deep State survives no matter who wins elections. Why has the Deep State survived despite years of promises to dismantle it? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Nick Giordano examines how the first-ever National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism and the current NSPM-7 framework lowered the threshold for suspicion, blurred the line between ideology and violence, and created an architecture that can be turned against anyone. This episode breaks down the transparency divide inside the administration, why Tulsi Gabbard's declassification push is facing internal resistance, and why structural reform matters far more than symbolic prosecutions. What You'll Learn: How the Deep State survives presidents, elections, and party changes  The Pre-Crime Trap and how government shifts from evidence to monitoring indicia of belief  Why vague labels like anti-government and anti-authority are easily weaponized  Why Tulsi Gabbard's declassification effort matters to exposing institutional abuse  The Occupancy Problem and why inheriting the machine is not the same as dismantling it

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports the Trump administration agrees to return a rainbow Pride flag to New York's Stonewall monument.

From the moment Donald Trump threatened to wipe out an entire civilization, something that can only be described as a war crime, the world was once again forced to confront just how dangerous and reckless this moment has become. And then, just as quickly, he backed down. No explanation. No accountability. Just chaos. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth went on the offensive, lashing out at the press in a move that feels straight out of the authoritarian playbook: discredit the media, deflect from the crisis, and double down on misinformation. All of it points to one unavoidable conclusion, this administration isn't just struggling, it's spiraling. On this week's Saturday Wrap-Up, we break down the dangerous rhetoric, the whiplash policy shifts, and the growing instability at the highest levels of power. Because when the stakes are this high, the chaos isn't just noise, it's a warning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

About two thirds of the US-Mexico border is along the Rio Grande, and the Trump Administration is working to install hundreds of miles of buoy barriers in the river. Now residents of border towns are raising the alarm over how these buoys could impact wildlife, restrict access to the river and sever cultural ties.   Also, news media outlets are retreating from covering climate change, according to the Media and Climate Change Observatory at the University of Colorado Boulder, which has been tracking this trend for decades. They report that since a peak in 2021, climate news stories across the globe have dropped nearly 40 percent.   And the poems in Aimee Nezhukumatathil's new book Night Owl offer a window into the magic of nature at night and a light in the darkness. She shares selected poems from the collection and talks about how poetry can help us grapple with ecological loss and celebrate natural wonders alike.   ---   Interested in gaining hands-on experience with producing a radio show and podcast?

The very idea of commuting Ghislaine Maxwell's sentence is an absolute disgrace — proof that America's justice system has rotted from the inside out. Maxwell wasn't some bystander; she was the architect, recruiter, and enabler of Jeffrey Epstein's child-trafficking empire. Survivors have said she was every bit as monstrous as Epstein, if not worse, and yet she's sitting in a “prison” that feels more like a wellness resort. Now the same establishment that promised transparency with the Epstein files — only to bury the truth under redactions and lies — wants us to believe this predator deserves leniency? It's a slap in the face to every victim who spoke out, every whistleblower who risked their career, and every ordinary person who still believes in the idea of justice.It's the system protecting its own, ensuring Maxwell stays quiet while the real power players keep their names out of the headlines. They'll dress it up as “compassion” or “reform,” but what it really means is: she knows too much, and they can't risk her breaking silence. If they actually let this woman walk, then the message is clear — the powerful are untouchable, and the rest of us are fools for expecting anything different. This isn't justice. It's theater. It's corruption wrapped in civility. And if this country really dares to free her, then it has no right to ever again claim it protects children, truth, or decency.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Pope Leo, the first American-born pope and a Chicago native, had repeatedly called for diplomacy over military force in the weeks leading up to the meeting. Vatican officials described the encounter as unusual and far from a casual exchange, while Pentagon officials dismissed it as exaggerated. Pope Leo subsequently canceled a planned visit to the United States. Hawk also examines Pete Hegseth's personal history, including allegations of alcoholism, a rape allegation settled with a non-disclosure agreement, and a pattern of marital infidelity, alongside his ties to Idaho-based evangelical dominionist pastor Doug Wilson. JD Vance's book on his Catholic conversion, which features a Methodist church on the cover, and the fact that two consecutive popes have been openly critical of Vance, rounds out a look at the cast of characters at the center of this story.

In this episode of the Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast, host Alan Kaplinsky is joined by colleagues Pilar French and Burt Rublin to unpack a rapidly evolving issue at the intersection of bank–FinTech partnerships and interstate lending: the renewed exercise of state opt-out authority under Section 525 of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (DIDMCA). Colorado enacted an opt-out statute in 2023 that is the subject of ongoing litigation before the entire Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and very recently the Oregon Legislature passed an opt-out bill as well. The Podcast discussion highlights how a little-used statutory provision is now at the center of a major legal and policy debate—one that could reshape the landscape for state-chartered banks and the broader consumer finance industry. The Foundation: Interest Rate Exportation Under DIDMCA For decades, state-chartered, FDIC-insured banks have relied on Section 27 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act—enacted through DIDMCA—to "export" interest rates permitted in their home states to borrowers nationwide. This authority mirrors the power granted to national banks under the National Bank Act and has been a cornerstone of interstate lending. However, DIDMCA also includes a lesser-known provision—Section 525—that allows states to opt out of this federal framework for state banks with respect to "loans made in such state." For years, this provision attracted little attention. That is now changing. Oregon's House Bill 4116: A New Wave of Opt-Out Activity Oregon's recently passed House Bill 4116 represents one of the most significant modern uses of the DIDMCA opt-out provision. If signed into law, it would: 1.     Reimpose Oregon's interest rate caps (generally 36%) on certain loans made to Oregon residents; 2.     Apply broadly to consumer finance loans of $50,000 or less; 3.     Expand the definition of where a loan is "made" to include the borrower's location—such as where the consumer resides or enters into the loan agreement. Surprisingly, the law applies to state-chartered banks but excludes credit unions. The legislation appears driven by concerns over high-interest, short-term lending, though testimony suggested that such loans represent only a small portion of the market. Critics argue that the bill oversimplifies complex lending structures—particularly bank–FinTech partnerships—through politically appealing but potentially misleading narratives. The Core Legal Dispute: Where Is a Loan "Made"? At the heart of both the Oregon legislation and ongoing litigation in the Tenth Circuit concerning the Colorado opt-out statute is a fundamental interpretive question: where is a loan "made" for purposes of Section 525 of DIDMCA? 1.     Industry Position: A loan is "made" where the bank is located, because the bank is the entity that extends credit. Therefore, an opt-out by a state only enables it to impose its own usury laws on loans made by its own state banks  and eliminates their ability to charge interest pursuant to Section 27 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. 2.     Opt-out State/Consumer Advocate Position: A loan is "made" both where the bank is located and where the borrower resides. This means that an opt-out state can apply its own usury laws to interstate loans made to its citizens by state banks located in other states. This distinction is critical. If the broader interpretation prevails, states that opt out of DIDMCA could effectively regulate interest rates charged by out-of-state banks to their residents—significantly curtailing interstate lending. The Colorado Litigation: A Pivotal Case Colorado's opt-out statute has become the testing ground for this issue, as it raises an issue that all sides agree is one of first impression. 1.     A federal district court sided with industry plaintiffs, granting a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the opt-out statute and holding that only the bank's location determines where a loan is made. 2.     A divided panel of the Tenth Circuit reversed that decision, adopting Colorado's argument that a loan is made in both the borrower's location and where the bank is located. 3.     In a significant and very unusual development, last week the Tenth Circuit granted rehearing en banc, vacating the panel decision and ordering additional briefing for consideration by the entire Court. The case has attracted substantial attention, including numerous amicus briefs on both sides from bank trade associations, consumer organizations, numerous Red and Blue State attorneys general, and federal bank regulators. Federal Bank Regulators Weigh in With Amicus Briefs Supporting Rehearing En Banc Both the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have criticized the broader interpretation of DIDMCA's opt-out provision adopted in the now-vacated majority panel opinion by the Tenth Circuit. 1.     The FDIC originally supported Colorado during the Biden Administration but then shifted its support to the banks' position during the second Trump Administration and filed an amicus brief that supported rehearing en banc and aligned with the industry view. 2.     The OCC emphasized that the panel decision could undermine the goal of Section 521 of DIDMCA to create parity between state and national banks and would undermine the dual banking system and introduce significant uncertainty into the lending market. These positions underscore the potential systemic impact of the case. Practical Implications for State Banks Engaged in Interstate Lending As a result of the enactment of the Oregon law and if additional states enact similar legislation, out-of-state banks lending to residents of a state which has enacted an opt-out statute may face difficult choices: 1.     Comply with state-specific rate caps; 2.     Exit certain markets altogether; 3.     File a declaratory judgment action seeking injunctive relief against the state agency charged with enforcing the opt-out statute based on Federal preemption of such statute under Section 27 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The uncertainty extends beyond origination. Secondary market participants may face increased due diligence burdens, as determining where a loan is "made" becomes more complex—especially in an era of digital lending and mobile consumers. Broader Industry Impact The implications could be far-reaching: 1.     Reduced interstate lending by state-chartered banks; 2.     Migration to national bank charters to preserve rate exportation authority; 3.     Fragmentation of the regulatory landscape, with a patchwork of state rules; 4.     Increased compliance complexity for bank–FinTech partnerships and loan purchasers. In short, the dual banking system could face renewed pressure if state-chartered banks cannot export their home state interest rates when making interstate loans to borrowers in opt-out states, which would deprive them of competitive parity with national banks. What Comes Next? Several developments will be critical to watch: 1.     The outcome of the Tenth Circuit's en banc review; 2.     Whether additional states follow Oregon's lead; 3.     The potential for U.S. Supreme Court review; 4.     Federal legislative proposals that could eliminate the opt-out provision altogether (though prospects for passage appear uncertain). Key Takeaways 1.     The DIDMCA opt-out provision, long dormant, is reemerging as a potential tool for states to regulate interest rates charged to their citizens by out-of-state state banks. 2.     The determination of where a loan is "made" for purposes of Section 525 of DIDMCA is now a central legal battleground. 3.     The forthcoming Tenth Circuit en banc decision will set an important precedent with nationwide implications. 4.     A growing patchwork of state laws could significantly complicate interstate lending. 5.     The future of bank–FinTech partnerships and the dual banking system may hinge on how these issues are resolved. As these developments continue to unfold, financial institutions, regulators, and policymakers alike will need to navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain legal environment—one that may redefine the rules of interstate lending in the United States.

For Hour 1 of the show Jon talks about the double sided cease fire with Iran as well as why the media is not a fan of the Trump administration.

The New Yorker contributing writer Ruth Marcus joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss Pam Bondi's removal from her post as Attorney General. They examine the series of missteps and failures that led to her firing—from her continued mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein files to her inability to effectively carry out Donald Trump's efforts to target his political enemies. They also explore the long-term damage Bondi has done to the Department of Justice, and whether her ouster—alongside Kristi Noem's dismissal as Secretary of Homeland Security—signals a new era of shakeups within the Trump Administration.This week's reading: “Pam Bondi's Legacy of Flattery and Destruction,” by Ruth Marcus “A U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Is Here, but Trump's Stone Age Mentality Endures,” by Ishaan Tharoor “Sam Altman May Control Our Future—Can He Be Trusted?,” by Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz “How the Internet Fringe Infiltrated Republican Politics,” by Antonia Hitchens “The Forest Service—a Force Across Rural America—‘Reorganizes' Under Trump,” by Bill McKibben The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

High level talks between Cuba and the U.S. are ongoing as the Trump administration's four-month oil blockade of the island nation continues. Trump has said he wants a “friendly takeover” of Cuba, but it's unclear what the U.S. stands to gain or what kind of government could come to power if the current administration leaves. While the U.S. has had an embargo against Cuba since 1960, the recent blockade has raised the stakes and forced many of the country's nearly 10 million people to go without power, water, food, health care and other necessities. We talk about how Cuba is dealing with the worst humanitarian crisis it has faced in decades and what the Trump Administration ultimately wants. Guests: Michael J. Bustamante, associate professor of history, University of Miami; director, Cuban Studies Program Jen Triplett, assistant professor of sociology, University of Colorado, Boulder; researcher with a focus on Latin America Learn more about your ad choices.
