    In the spring of 1865, with the Civil War finally over, American lawmakers began to debate whether Black soldiers would have a permanent place in the peacetime Army. Some 180,000 Black men had fought in the Union ranks, but never before in the nation's history had they been allowed regular status in the armed forces. In the West, white settlers were clashing with Indian tribes who were determined to protect their land and lives from aggression. Soon, Congress would authorize six new Black Army regiments to support America's westward expansion. Hundreds of Black men answered the call and set off for remote outposts on the frontier, searching for opportunities denied to them in civilian life. They became known as the first buffalo soldiers.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

    Zbigniew Herbert's "The Salt of the Earth"

    The Daily Poem

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 5, 2025 10:57


    Poet's don't typically compete for “coolest book cover,” and it's probably because Zbigniew Herbert won years ago. Today's poem is his tender look at poverty, pleasure, and irretrievable loss. Zbigniew Herbert was born on October 29, 1924, in Poland in the city of Lvov, which is now a part of the Ukraine. His grandfather was an Englishman who settled in Lvov to teach English. His father, a former member of the Legions that had fought for restoration of Poland's independence, was a bank manager. Herbert's formal education began in Lvov and continued under German occupation in the form of clandestine study at the underground King John Casimir University, where he majored in Polish literature. He was a member of the underground resistance movement. In 1944, he moved to Krakow, and three years later he graduated from the University of Krakow with a master's degree in economics. He also received a law degree from Nicholas Copernicus University in Torun and studied philosophy at the University of Warsaw under Henryk Elzenberg.During the 1950s, Herbert worked at many low-paying jobs because he refused to write within the framework of official Communist guidelines. After widespread riots against Soviet control in 1956 brought about a political “thaw,” Herbert became an administrator at the Union of Polish Composers and published his first collection, Struna swiatla [The Chord of Light] (Czytelnik, 1956). The book immediately placed him among the most prominent representatives of the “Contemporaries” (young poets and writers associated with the weekly Contemporary Times).In 1957, Herbert published his second collection of verse, Hermes, pies i gwiazda [Hermes, the Dog and the Star] (Czytelnik). Four years later, he published his third book of poems, Studium przedmiotu [Study of the Object] (Czytelnik, 1961). In 1968, his Selected Poems, translated into English by Czeslaw Milosz and Peter Dale Scott, was released in both the United States and England, making Herbert one of the most popular contemporary poets in the English-speaking world. In 1971, he released the first Polish edition of Selected Poems.Herbert's 1983 collection, Raport z oblezonego miasta i inne wiersze [Report from the Besieged City] (Instytut Literacki), dealt with the ethical problems Poland faced while under martial law. The book was issued simultaneously through an emigré publishing house and as an underground edition in Poland. He also published a number of essay collections and works of drama. In 1962, he released his famous work, Barbarzyńca wogrodzie [Barbarian in the Garden] (Czytelnik), which was eventually translated into numerous languages.Herbert's numerous awards include the Kościelski Foundation Prize, the Austrian Lenau Prize, the Alfred Jurzykowski Prize, the Herder Prize, the Petrarch Prize, the Bruno Schulz Prize, and the Jerusalem Prize for the Freedom of the Individual in Society.Herbert was a coeditor of the poetry journal Poezja from 1965 to 1968 but resigned in protest of antisemitic policies. He traveled widely throughout the West and lived in Paris, Berlin, and the United States, where he taught briefly at the University of California, Los Angeles. He died in Warsaw on July 28, 1998.-bio via Academy of American Poets This is a public episode.

    OPM pushes to reclassify chief information officers, opening up position to politics; Treasury sued by union groups over systems access given to Elon Musk and DOGE

    A new memo from the Office of Personnel Management has recommended that federal agencies reclassify the position of chief information officer, in what appears to be an attempt to make the technical position far more political than it's previously been. Specifically, the new designation would have the chief information officer serve as a “general” employee rather than a “career reserved” employee. General employees, according to OPM, can be filled by a range of people, including “career, noncareer, limited term or limited emergency” senior executive branch appointees. Career reserved positions, meanwhile, are supposed to be impartial and can only be filled by career appointees. The memo argues that CIOs have served increasingly policy-based positions, given their focus on issues including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and machine learning. The document argues that reclassifying the position could also help increase the potential talent pool for CIOs. A coalition of labor unions is suing the Treasury Department and Secretary Scott Bessent over the disclosure of Americans' personal and financial information to Elon Musk and the tech billionaire's Department of Government Efficiency surrogates. In a lawsuit filed Monday to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the Alliance for Retired Americans, the American Federation of Government Employees and the Service Employees International Union allege that the Treasury Department under Bessent allowed Musk and his DOGE associates to access the personal information of millions of individuals who have transacted with the federal government. That personal information includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, birth places, home addresses and telephone numbers, email addresses, and bank account information, according to the lawsuit. A Treasury employee initially prevented DOGE workers from accessing those records, the department's Bureau of the Fiscal Service. But according to the lawsuit, once Bessent was confirmed, he placed that employee on leave and provided the DOGE crew with “full access to the Bureau's data and the computer systems that house them.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

    An episode that's out of this world!Here's what's in store for today's episode: * In this episode, Matt and Angela explore the autistic coding in the sci-fi series The Orville and the role its showrunner, Seth MacFarlane, plays in shaping this representation.* Seth MacFarlane may be one of us—his intense special interests and strong sense of justice are hallmark autistic traits.* As MacFarlane's popularity in Hollywood grew, so did his willingness to speak out. He called out Kevin Spacey's crimes before they were widely known to the public and also publicly condemned Harvey Weinstein.* Seth MacFarlane had a deep special interest in Star Trek: The Next Generation, even featuring its stars as guest actors in episodes of Family Guy. He aspired to be a showrunner for Star Trek: The Next Generation and pitched reboot concepts, but they were either denied or not picked up. While his 2017 show The Orville is technically unrelated to Star Trek, it feels like MacFarlane's own take on the franchise.* Everyone on The Orville has a more or less direct counterpart in Star Trek: The Next Generation, with numerous interdimensional links and hidden Easter eggs woven throughout the show.* We explore the show's themes of gender identity, including the rampant misogyny within Moklin culture, where women are so despised that they are forcibly altered to become male. We also discuss the show's gay coding and its deeper implications.* Matt and Angela discuss how The Orville features many of the same cast members from Seth MacFarlane's other projects, much like the signature casting styles of Tim Burton or David Lynch. They also touch on how MacFarlane's Ted TV series is another standout work.* We discuss autistic pretty privilege and how Seth MacFarlane may be leveraging it to his advantage in Hollywood.* We explore the possibility that Seth MacFarlane uses monotropic focus to write The Orville and his other works, honing in on specific interests and themes with intense attention.* Our hosts talk about autistic-coded characters in The Orville, like Isaac, who displays autistic traits such as a focus on accuracy and a strong sense of self-awareness.* Season three of The Orville highlights Isaac's justice sensitivity, as he is ostracized and treated like a pariah for refusing to support genocide, in contrast to the rest of his race.* The move from Fox to Hulu proved to be beneficial for the show, allowing it to further explore social justice themes and highlight the autistic-coded traits in its characters.* The show features a character on Krill who manipulates a cult of personality to stir up frenzy against the Union, echoing the tactics of a certain orange man. Fox, with its religious ties, was hesitant to prioritize storylines like this, but after switching to Hulu, MacFarlane was able to dive deeper into these themes.* The show offers remarkable autistic-coded representation, with the Moklins and the Zileans being very by-the-book, Bortus and Klyden forming the perfect autistic-coded gay couple, and Seth MacFarlane's showrunning tying all the autism representation together.* Finally, we discuss the upcoming season 4, which has been teased, and share our thoughts on what's in store for the future of this incredibly autistic program.“If you haven't seen The Orville, if there's anything that I can say to convince you to see The Orville - four words: Dolly Parton laser fight. It's a thing that happens.” - Matt “A lot of people consider autistic people to be devoid of social characteristics, but he [Seth MacFarlane] is very, very good at socializing. He's very, very good at telling jokes. He's very good at being open and himself.” - Matt“I think when you add the hyper-connected brain and the smart and talented, people want to be around us, and then they're around us for a few minutes and they're like, ‘these people are f*****g annoying. Let's get them off the project and take full credit for their work. That's it. If you are hearing this and a light bulb is going off, just know you're normal. That's part of our culture. They take our ideas and run with them and kick us off the project. But somehow, Seth stays in there. You go, my guy.” - AngelaDid you enjoy this episode?

    Perhaps some of my readers of this column will remember the days of the one room country school as the birth date of Abraham Lincoln on February 12th approaches. My thoughts go to the old one room country school, where I would often look on the wall and see the pictures of two great presidents: Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, who were both born in February. It was back in the good old days when both birthdays were a holiday. It was also the age when children were "to be seen and not heard," and one did not whisper, as "silence was golden." As we studied the life of Lincoln, he became my hero president, a man of great faith and courage. He was born in a log cabin living on the frontier. The family bravely endured many hardships and poverty. His mother died when he was nine years old. His father remarried and young Abe then had a stepmother, and Abe became a true son of the frontier. His life was filled with many disappointments, failures and losses. His sweetheart died and he was defeated in many elections. He faced many challenges, but was determined as President to do all he could do to save the Union. His famous Gettysburg Address has been memorized by many students. Many quotes from his speeches are still used today. His life and work has touched the lives of many. One cannot help but realize that the tangled failures that often occur in our lives can really serve as a thing of joy and beauty.Warm Thoughts: All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel, mother. Abraham Lincoln. The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. Abraham Lincoln. Live one day at a time!

    Last week, Amazon announced that it will lay off all its workers at seven warehouses, fulfillment centres and sorting stations in Quebec. Almost 2000 workers will lose their jobs, 1,700 of which are permanent positions. After a two-year effort, workers at an Amazon warehouse in Laval had unionized with the Confédération des Syndicats Nationaux last May. Amazon claims that its decision to close the Quebec operations was not because of the worker's successful unionization. The union disagrees.

    The EU, Europe's great post-war peace project, can feel beleaguered today. Global and continental uncertainties collide, and things are complicated in Brussels, Belgium, the heart of the European Union. Two clubs from that capital survived in the Europa League, though none bear Brussels' city name: RSC Anderlecht, with the beautiful color of purple, and Royal Union St Gilloise, a recent regular guest in European club competitions. And in a multinational, multilingual European Union, in Brussels, Belgium, a multilingual, multiethnic country (French, Dutch and German are Belgium's official languages), it's Royal Union that fittingly has a multinational, multilinguistic fanclub. Its beginnings lie in a group of EU employees from other countries who met on the standing terraces of the Stade Joseph Marien, St. Gilles' legendary homeground. Joining me today are Ana, from Portugal, who works for the European Commission, one of the Branches of the European Union, and Seppe, from Belgium, who "works a normal job”. They are members of the above mentioned multinational, multilingual fanclub - "beunion" is its name. This is a conversation about the rise back to the top of one of Belgium's oldest and most unique clubs, about the state of the Union that is Union St Gilloise, but also the European Union, and the continent, these days. HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: bEUnion - fanclub website, in EnglishThe full cup final of Union vs. Royal Antwerpen FC 2024, with nice USG pyro to startUSG's history on wikipediaStade Joseph Marien, stadium guide with photosNEW: send me a text message!

    Qui sera le prochain président de la Commission de l'Union africaine ? Trois candidats briguent la succession du tchadien Moussa Faki Mahamat : l'ancien Premier ministre kényan Raila Odinga, l'actuel ministre djiboutien des Affaires étrangères, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, et l'ancien ministre malgache des Affaires étrangères, Richard Randriamandrato. C'est le 15 février 2025 que les 55 chefs d'État de l'Union africaine trancheront, lors du sommet annuel de l'UA à Addis-Abeba, en Éthiopie. En attendant, RFI donne la parole, bien sûr, aux trois candidats. Il y a une semaine, vous avez entendu le candidat de Djibouti. Voici ce matin celui de Madagascar, l'ancien ministre Richard Randriamandrato répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Si vous êtes élu le 15 février prochain, quels seront vos deux priorités ?Richard Randriamandrato : Tout d'abord, il faut de manière urgente mener à terme ces réformes qui ont été entamées depuis 2016, avec des propositions parfois douloureuses, mais il faut passer par là, pour que l'Union africaine, pas seulement la Commission, mais tous les organes de l'Union africaine, soient moins bureaucratiques, plus efficaces, avec moins de réunionite et surtout un état d'esprit de cohésion entre les organes. Donc ça, c'est le premier volet. Le deuxième volet, c'est comment faire mieux avec moins. Maintenant, le budget de l'Union africaine a été réduit, donc il va falloir faire avec. Et donc je me propose de mettre en place un plan stratégique pour 3 à 4 ans. Et j'espère que les instances dirigeantes de l'Union africaine vont adopter cette démarche.Quand la guerre fait rage en Afrique comme en ce moment dans l'est du Congo-Kinshasa, c'est le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU qui s'en occupe et pas le Conseil paix et sécurité de l'Union africaine, est-ce que vous ne le regrettez pas ?De prime abord, on peut dire que les crises sur tous les continents devraient revenir évidemment à des instances continentales telles que l'Union africaine ou le Conseil paix et sécurité de l'Union africaine. Tout cela est possible, mais, voyez-vous, le Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies, il faut le reconnaître, c'est l'instance planétaire qui résout les problèmes de cette envergure. Donc, je ne m'en offusque pas pour autant. Je pense que l'Union africaine doit être présente dans les prises de décisions au niveau du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU. J'espère que l'Union africaine ne sera pas écartée de la résolution de la crise dans l'immédiat.Dans la guerre au Nord-Kivu, tout le monde désigne le Rwanda comme complice, sauf l'Union africaine et les trois pays qui représentent l'Afrique au Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, pourquoi cette retenue ?Disons que l'Union africaine est la maison commune qui rassemble tous les Etats membres de cette Union. Je pense que l'Union africaine se doit de rester solidaire aussi bien avec les versions et les arguments avancés par Kigali, autant que les arguments défendus par Kinshasa. Ce n'est pas facile, mais c'est un exercice qui doit être exécuté afin de garder la solidarité entre les pays africains. Et donc il faut vraiment que ce processus de Nairobi et aussi le processus de Luanda aboutissent à des accords qui rassurent les uns et les autres.Face à vous, il y a deux candidats, le kényan Raila Odinga et le djiboutien Mahmoud Ali Youssouf. Qu'est-ce qui vous distingue de ces deux autres candidats ?Je pense que le fait de ne pas être un chef de parti politique est un avantage. Je ne prétends pas avoir passé une vingtaine d'années à faire de la diplomatie caméléon, à écrire des notes verbales et à faire des discours ici et là. Non, je suis un homme de terrain. J'ai beaucoup travaillé dans les ONG au COMESA, qui est une organisation régionale en l'Afrique de l'Est. J'ai travaillé pour les Nations unies au sein du PNUD et à la Banque mondiale. Et puis j'ai été ministre de l'Economie et des Finances de Madagascar. J'ai négocié beaucoup de financements de projets pour mon pays. Donc, je ne suis pas un candidat de salon et je pense que c'est un avantage. Et puis, je ne cherche pas à être le « lion qui va rugir dans la jungle », c'est ce que j'ai entendu d'un de mes concurrents. Je veux rester un candidat réaliste, un candidat pragmatique et je pense que je peux répondre aux attentes de notre organisation.Alors le « lion qui va rugir dans la jungle », c'est l'ancien Premier ministre kényan Raila Odinga, qui est favori dans cette bataille parce qu'il a été Premier ministre justement, et parce qu'il est soutenu par un pays influent, le Kenya. Qu'est-ce que vous répondez ?Tout le monde est favori jusqu'au jour du vote. Quelle sera donc l'image que l'Union africaine va projeter à la communauté internationale ? Est-ce que c'est une Union africaine de plus en plus politisée, plus orientée vers les combats politiques ? Est-ce une Afrique qui est plus orientée vers l'économie, l'éducation des jeunes et ainsi de suite ? C'est ce que je veux incarner d'ailleurs. Je veux mettre en place une architecture économique et financière avec la Banque africaine de développement et les institutions. C'est ce que je sais faire. J'ai été ministre de l'Economie et des Finances et je sais comment négocier avec ces instances de la finance internationale. Et c'est ce qui est important.Si vous êtes élu, quelles seront vos priorités dans l'Océan Indien, au regard, par exemple, de la situation de certains territoires comme l'archipel des Chagos, comme Mayotte, comme les îles Éparses au large de Madagascar ?La question de la souveraineté des États dans cette partie de l'Océan Indien et ailleurs ne doit pas être remise en cause. Je pense qu'il faut défendre les avancées réalisées avec les négociations qui sont en cours. Le cas des Chagos est déjà assez explicite. Il faut en tenir compte. Je pense qu'il appartient aux Etats de continuer à défendre ce principe de la souveraineté. Ce n'est pas chose facile puisque ce sont des hommes et des femmes qui sont derrière chaque État concerné.Vous pensez que l'accord de l'année dernière entre la Grande-Bretagne et l'île Maurice sur l'archipel des Chagos est un bon accord ou un mauvais accord ?Je pense qu'il y a encore des points d'achoppement, si j'ai bien compris, qui restent à être résolus dans l'immédiat. Mais c'est un accord qui permet d'avancer. En tout cas, il y a l'esprit de cet accord qui doit être maintenant respecté, à savoir que la restitution de ce territoire doit se faire avec un accord mutuel sur le contenu même de cet accord. Donc moi, je pense que c'est l'esprit qu'il faut garder en tête et il faut attendre que les négociations aboutissent à leur terme.Et concernant les autres territoires, je pense à Mayotte et aux îles Éparses ?Pour ce qui concerne Mayotte, je crois que c'est entre la France et les Comores dans un premier temps. Mais bien entendu, les Comores étant un membre à part entière de l'Union africaine, le principe même du respect de la souveraineté de ces Etats doit être le principe directeur. Et je laisserai le soin, bien entendu, à ceux qui sont directement concernés dans les négociations de faire aboutir les points qui vont rassurer les uns et les autres. Je ne vais pas m'aventurer à dire ce que je ne peux pas, en tant que candidat, avancer pour des questions bilatérales. Je crois qu'il revient à la France et aux Comores de trouver l'accord qui rassure les uns et les autres.Et concernant les îles Éparses, au large de Madagascar ?Le principe est le même. Je pense qu'il y a des résolutions, depuis 1972, qui sont au niveau des Nations unies et nous continuons à échanger nos points de vue pour que nous puissions trouver la meilleure formule pour que, une fois de plus, la souveraineté soit rassurante pour les uns et les autres. Et puis en même temps, il y a la question environnementale et la question liée aussi aux richesses dans ces zones, donc le plateau de ces îles Éparses. Tout cela n'est pas facile, donc il faut rester optimiste et nous espérons que le comité qui a été mis en place et qui, malheureusement pour diverses raisons, a connu un report dans ses travaux, nous espérons que nous puissions reprendre ces travaux très prochainement. Madagascar va accueillir le sommet de la Commission de l'Océan Indien, je ne sais pas si c'est l'occasion d'évoquer ce sujet bilatéral, mais en tout cas, nous continuons à espérer que la diplomatie va gagner en termes d'efficacité et que tout le monde soit rassuré au final.Oui, car derrière la question des îles Éparses, il y a celle de l'espace maritime et de son exploitation, soit par Madagascar, soit par la France. C'est ça ?Tout à fait. C'est une question délicate puisque ça touche donc à une dimension plus économique. Et bien entendu, ce n'est pas une simple question de souveraineté politique et d'identité, mais c'est aussi cet aspect économique qui est tout aussi important.

Geht ihr auf Demonstrationen, unterschreibt ihr Petitionen, teilt ihr politische Posts oder kommentiert? Diskutiert ihr in der Familie oder mit Freund:innen über Politik? Oder haltet ihr euch bewusst raus, ist es euch zu viel und ihr meidet Nachrichten? Das habt ihr Bruno erzählt.
