Len Davis was a New Orleans police officer known in the Desire projects as Robocop and the Desire Terrorist. In 1994 he ordered the murder of Kim Groves, a 32-year-old mother of three who had filed a brutality complaint against him — and he's since been called the most corrupt cop in the city's history. What brought him down was Operation Shattered Shield, and at the center of it was an undercover FBI agent posing as a high-level drug dealer, known only as J.J.His name is Juan Jackson. He was one of roughly 300 Black agents in an FBI of 11,000 when he entered the Academy in 1983, trained under Joe Pistone of Donnie Brasco fame, and spent two decades undercover — as a hitman for hire in Chinatown, an arms dealer, a money launderer, and a drug kingpin in Waterbury, Connecticut. He tells us how he got Len Davis to strip to his underwear in a wired hotel room at the New Orleans Hilton, and why, testifying for two and a half weeks, he couldn't stop smiling.Subscribe to our newsletter: ⁠https://jedlipinski.substack.com/⁠ Connect with Jed Lipinski:⁠https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 416 The Saint of the day is Blessed Michael J. McGivney Blessed Michael McGivney's Story The eldest son of an immigrant Irish family in Connecticut, young Michael left school at 13 to work in a brass factory making spoons. At 16 Michael J. McGivney began studies for the priesthood in Quebec, but was obliged to leave to help support the family when his father died. Michael completed his education in Baltimore, Maryland, and was ordained for the diocese of Hartford in 1877. Assigned to St. Mary's Parish in New Haven, Michael J. McGivney was very active in parish and civic affairs, serving as director of public plays and fairs. He volunteered to become the guardian of Alfred Downes, a minor whose father had died leaving a large family in poverty. This situation as well as his own family's circumstances and that of other immigrants impressed on Fr. McGivney the need for lay Catholic men to establish a mutual aid society to provide financial assistance for their families if the primary wage earner died. Protestant fraternal groups already provided this type of life insurance protection for their members. In 1882, Michael J. McGivney formed the Knights of Columbus among a small group of St. Mary's parishioners to promote charity, unity, and fraternity, assisting widows and orphans. Because of the Knights' emphasis on serving Church, community and family, the organization grew and did not remain strictly parish-based. Patriotism was added as a founding principle in 1900. Michael J. McGivney died from pneumonia in 1890 and was buried in Waterbury, Connecticut. Later his body was moved back to St. Mary's in New Haven where it remains today. He was beatified in 2020. Reflection Michael Joseph McGivney was a genuine pastor who, in the words of Pope Francis, was unafraid to share “the smell of his sheep.” He promoted families whose members were strong in their faith expressed through generous following of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. In a decree read at the beatification Mass, Pope Francis praised Fr. McGivney's “zeal and the proclamation of the Gospel and generous concern for his brothers and sisters.” These “made him an outstanding witness of Christian solidarity and fraternal assistance.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Byrd Mena... From a Basement in Waterbury to Stages Around the WorldByrd Mena (@byrdmena) is one of the most original minds in the hair industry. Venezuelan roots. Connecticut hustle. Third degree black belt. Call of Duty leaderboard legend. And a brand builder who figured out content creation, community, and global reach before most people knew those were even skills.Fair warning... this one was a blast. Venezuelan food debates, Chuck Norris jokes, a Chuck E. Cheese trauma story, and two guys who walked into the podcast couch as strangers and left as best friends. Plus a special cameo from fellow Venezuelan Alejandra Wolff Pickering (@ale_wlff) who crashed the couch, proved her cachapa credentials, and earned her stamp of approval from Byrd himself.Recorded live at the American Beauty Show in Chicago. Hosted by Corey Gray (@hairdustry), co-hosted by Geno Chapman (@genochapman). Part of our live series sponsored by Serious Business (seriousbusiness.net | January 16-18, 2027, New Orleans).The Origin StoryByrd grew up in Waterbury, Connecticut... the dirty waters... with a barber brother, a hairstylist sister, and a best friend with clippers. He started cutting hair at 13 in a basement with an orange extension cord running to the neighbor's outlet. No proper shop. No formal training. Just a kid who wanted in and friends willing to sit in the chair.From Call of Duty to Content CreatorBefore Sharp Fade, before the stages, before the 40 countries... there was a PlayStation 3 and a Call of Duty leaderboard obsession. Byrd taught himself content creation making YouTube gaming videos in 2007... before Google even bought the platform. That same creative muscle became the engine behind everything that followed.Building Sharp FadeIn 2015 Byrd launched Sharp Fade... a barbering media brand inspired by ESPN. He spotlighted independent artists, flew them around the world with no agency fees, and built a platform with millions of followers that changed how the industry thinks about branding. He did it all while staying faceless for two years... pure Banksy energy.Live Fashion Hair and Giving BackA show in the Canary Islands opened his eyes to a whole new level of creative possibility. Today he is a part owner of Live Fashion Hair, doing shows in Brazil, Las Vegas, and Brooklyn with Davines. Off the stage he helped rebuild a barbershop in the favelas of Brazil for a man who lost his daughter to a stray bullet and his shop to fire... surprising him on stage with the keys in front of 5,000 people. He has also collaborated with Disney and Pixar on the film Soul, runs an annual mentorship retreat, and gives free haircuts to the homeless through a mobile barber program.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow to build a brand before anyone is watching. Why authenticity closes million dollar deals better than any suit. The dopamine hack Byrd uses to help creatives grow.

When Ben & Jerry's ice cream held its annual Free Cone Day in April, it had to contend with an unlikely protester: Ben Cohen, the company's co-founder, was standing on the site of the original scoop shop in Burlington, urging customers to Free Ben & Jerry's.“Ben & Jerry's itself has not given up on” its values, Cohen told me, but its current owner “has prevented Ben & Jerry's from acting on its values and has destroyed the governance structure” of the company. Cohen founded the ice cream company with his friend Jerry Greenfield nearly 50 years ago. The two men ran the company until 2000, when it was acquired by Unilever, a multinational company that owns Dove soap, Hellmann's mayonnaise and Vaseline, among other global brands. Ben & Jerry's succeeded in getting Unilever to agree that the iconic Vermont company could continue to pursue its social mission, which would be overseen by an independent board. Cohen and Greenfield remained as employees of the company, but they had no management authority. The company continued to be a strong supporter of racial justice, LGBTQ rights, the Occupy Wall Street movement, climate activism and other issues.But relations between the ice cream company and its corporate masters began to sour, then curdled in 2021 when Ben & Jerry's announced it would stop selling ice cream in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Unilever opposed the move, then sold its Israeli business to an Israeli-owned company that has continued to sell the ice cream in Israel and the occupied territories.Ben & Jerry's sued Unilever in 2024, accusing it of muzzling the company's support for Palestinian rights and silencing its criticism of President Donald Trump. In March 2024, Unilever spun off its ice cream businesses to Magnum, which is now one of the largest ice cream companies in the world.The hippy-themed Vermont brand may be associated with peace and love, but that does not characterize its current relations with its owners. In March 2025, Ben & Jerry's CEO David Stever was ousted, allegedly over the company's progressive activism. In September 2025, Greenfield quit the company in protest. Cohen, who is 75, is now waging a battle to save the soul of Ben & Jerry's and possibly buy it back, though Magnum says the company, which is valued at over $1 billion, is not for sale.“They've prevented the company from calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. They prevented the company from supporting the student [Palestinian solidarity] protesters, and they've prevented the company from using the word ‘Trump' in its posts,” said Cohen. “Magnum has become Trumpified.”“The very thing that has built the brand, this values-led way of doing business, is the very thing that they're destroying. So they're taking this investment and reducing the value of it,” Cohen said.When I asked him whether Ben & Jerry's might leave Vermont, he replied, “It's possible.” He said that Ben & Jerry's independent board had earlier prevented Unilever from closing the Waterbury ice cream plant. But Ben & Jerry's could be moved to a central factory where other Magnum ice cream brands are made. “I don't know what's in Magnum's mind, but I don't think there would be anything to prevent them from doing that.”Cohen urged concerned consumers to boycott other Magnum ice cream brands, but not Ben & Jerry's, which he said “would be harmful to the people who work at Ben & Jerry's.”“We want to support Ben & Jerry's — that's the issue — but to stop buying the other stuff that Magnum makes.”Cohen continues his brisk pace of activism. He was arrested last year at a U.S. Senate hearing featuring Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing Congress of slashing Medicaid for poor children in the U.S. to pay to bomb children in Gaza.Cohen said he has given up on the Democratic Party. “Both parties have presided over this system that drives all this money up to the top. The system is working the way it's designed, and both parties are guilty of that.”But he remains hopeful. “Action is the antidote to despair,” he said, quoting folk singer Joan Baez. “When you're confronted with situations of injustice, you can ignore it, you can complain about it, or you can work on changing it. And personally, I prefer to do that.”

In today's episode, a program that offers free admission to Vermont State Parks again this year, some residents in Plainfield are working on building dozens of new housing units and designating a percentage as affordable housing, and a trip to the new Waterbury skatepark.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... How Nonprofit Leaders Can Set Boundaries, Protect Their Mission, and Lead Without Burning Out Here's what nobody tells you when you step into a leadership role at a mission-driven organization: the mission can become the reason you never stop working. Because the need is real. Because your team is watching. Because the funder is waiting. Because someone always needs something — and you got into this work because you care. The truth is, that's not sustainable leadership. That's a slow leak. In a recent episode of the Inspired Nonprofit Leadership podcast, I sat down with TaShun Bowden-Lewis, Esquire — CEO and Founder of The Bowden-Lewis Consulting Group, and the first Black Chief Public Defender in Connecticut's history. TaShun has led under some of the most demanding, high-stakes conditions a public-sector leader can face. What she's built — both in herself and in the organizations she's run — is a repeatable system for leading with boundaries intact. What follows is the framework she shared, broken into the three areas where most nonprofit leaders lose the most ground: time, self-care, and money. The "Warm No" — How to Hold a Boundary Without Abandoning Anyone Most leaders avoid saying no because they think it means abandoning the person asking. TaShun reframes it entirely. A warm no isn't a refusal. It's a redirect. "A warm no is: I can't do it right now, but I can get to that tomorrow morning." — TaShun Bowden-Lewis Even better: "I can't help with that, but Jane Doe can — let's connect you right now." The need still gets addressed. The relationship stays intact. And your time and energy stay where they belong. This matters more than it sounds. When leaders say yes to everything, they're not being generous — they're being unclear. Unclear about priorities. Unclear about capacity. And that unclarity spreads. Every person on your team is watching how you respond to demands on your time. They are calibrating their own behavior accordingly. As I've said on the show: "If you aren't setting time boundaries, you're leading everybody else not to do it." The practical version of this looks like task-batching your email (TaShun checks it in designated windows only), setting a hard cutoff time at the end of your workday, removing work email from your phone, and putting your availability expectations in your auto-responder and your email signature. Not as a preference. As a policy. "I only respond to emails between 10 and 11. If it's an emergency, here's another way to reach me." That's not a wall. That's a system. Self-Care as Infrastructure, Not a Cliché There's a version of the self-care conversation that's become background noise — bubble baths, journaling prompts, take a walk. TaShun isn't interested in that version. She talks about self-care the way she talks about organizational systems: it has to run on autopilot. It has to be structural. It can't be something you get to when things calm down, because things never calm down. "Self-care has to be a non-negotiable." — TaShun Bowden-Lewis Her practice is grounded in the margins of the day — morning silence and gratitude before the work begins, evening reflection on a single daily win before the day ends. Not a two-hour morning routine. Not a perfect system. Just two consistent anchors that keep the nervous system from running hot all day long. This isn't a lifestyle preference. It's a leadership strategy. When you're dysregulated, your team feels it. When you're burned out, your decision-making degrades — quietly, gradually, in ways that are hard to see until you're already in trouble. "Everything trickles down from the head," TaShun said. The energy you bring into every room is the energy your team marries up to. Peer support networks and executive coaching fall into the same category. TaShun is direct about the loneliness of leadership — especially for leaders who are "firsts" in their field. "Being a leader sometimes is isolating." The antidote isn't performing wellness. It's building the actual structures — the coach, the peer group, the reflection practice — that give you somewhere to process what you're carrying. Mission Clarity as a Financial Boundary Most discussions about nonprofit boundaries stop at time and energy. TaShun takes it one step further: your mission has to be the filter for your money relationships. Specifically, for your donor relationships. When a funder comes with money attached to conditions that would redirect your organization's energy — conditions that aren't actually aligned with your North Star goal — the warm no applies there, too. The mission protects you. But only if it's operational. "The mission has to be operational, not just inspirational." — TaShun Bowden-Lewis An inspirational mission statement is on your wall. An operational mission is the specific, concrete goal that every program, hire, partnership, and resource decision flows through. It's what you look at when a donor says "I'd love to fund this, if you'd just add that." Icing before cake is the problem. Most organizations chase funding before they've built the foundation that makes that funding worth having. When your mission is vague, you're vulnerable — to scope creep, donor capture, and mission drift that happens one "yes" at a time. When your mission is a real North Star, the warm no becomes obvious. You're not rejecting a donor. You're being clear about where you're going. What This Looks Like When It's Working A leader who has these disciplines in place looks different from the outside. Her team knows when she's available — and when she's not. They hold their own time boundaries because she modeled them first. The organization's programs, partnerships, and donor relationships all trace back to the same operational mission. There's a peer who gets a call on the hard days. There's a morning that's hers before the work takes over. She isn't working less. She's working with more intention — and the difference shows up in results, retention, and the long-term sustainability of everything she's built. None of this is complicated. All of it takes discipline. The good news is that these are structural decisions, not motivational ones. You don't have to feel like setting boundaries in order to set them. You just have to build the system and hold the line. TaShun has. You can too.

A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision has roots in Vermont and nationwide implications. The Zorn v. Linton case involved a 2015 protest in Montpelier, and Vermont State Police.We discuss the case with one of its subjects, Shela Linton of Brattleboro, and two constitutional lawyers: Jay Diaz, Civil Rights and workers compensation litigator at Darby Kolter & Roberts. He was formerly the lead advocate for qualified immunity reform with the ACLU of Vermont in Waterbury, and Jared Carter of Vermont Law and Graduate School.Then: a few days after the Mar. 11 confrontation between ICE agents and protesters in South Burlington, the Vermont House advanced a bill to allow citizens sue federal agents for alleged civil rights violations. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Martin LaLonde (D-South Burlington), also chairs the Vermont House's Ethics Committee and the Judiciary Committee.Broadcast live on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.Have questions, comments or tips?

Waterbury considers building new housing on the edge of a 100-year flood zone, plus a song from a group of immigrants who call Vermont home, ahead of their debut performance next week at The Flynn in Burlington.

Aerial imagery from flooding in 2023 shows water covering part of the proposed building site. A neighbor says adding homes there could “do more harm than good.”

We're back in the old movie house for a vintage alt-Valentines romcom. Arrive early for the trailers — what I would play at some alt-Valentines film festival. Plus, decades-old Valentines‑flavored messaging it's going to be grand.Look, my daughter asked if I was doing a special episode for the upcoming "holiday," and I was like, "What holiday?""Valentines, did you get mom something."“I am now,” Valentine's… aka **** Halloween. Another holiday to unleash sugar onto our loved ones and watch them climb the ceiling...Our feature film is His Girl Friday, which stars Cary Grant as ruthless newspaper editor Walter Burns. You are already familiar with Grant's character as the “Get Out” meme.Rosalind Russell, the pride of Waterbury, CT, plays Hildy Johnson, star journalist. And I need to pause for a second — the movie is based on the play The Front Page, which has two male leads. In His Girl Friday Russell plays that lead and walks out of production for defining the cinematic accomplished female journalist (think Margot Kidder as Lois Lane). So if Russell is not the pride of Waterbury, CT, she should be. And for heaven's sake, don't try to figure out what the deal is with the giant cross marking the eastern side of the Brass City skyline (do you imagine a knee-high ghost town might creep you out)?From Waterbury, let's take I‑84 west and then north on the Thruway (or the Taconic Parkway if you're in the mood for beauty and can drive 55) to Albany, the pride of New York. Heh — I'm still a 518-er by heart. Long live Fish Fry spots and Altamont Fair.Any movie where Albany, NY, figures prominently is my kind of movie. In His Girl Friday, Albany winds up being the destination all along. Walter Burns' motivations in the movie are to rescue Hildy Johnson from a languished life in Albany, NY. And after winning Hildy back, Walter immediately takes her to Albany for their honeymoon. The film is fast-paced and even breaks the fourth wall a few times. Good stuff — two Ironweeds up.In the spirit of tough ladies (but unfortunately not Albany-centric), we have our first trailer for Some Kind of Wonderful: “…this is 1987. Did you know that a girl can be whatever she wants to be?” Mary Stuart Masterson's character asks, as she deals with some doofus named Ray. Gawd, I had such a crush on that character growing up — Stoltz, you idiot.And as mentioned at the top, a slew of other trailers I would consider alt-love stuff (in one case, explicitly because of the soundtrack). And, of course, I'm alt-signaling. I loathe Valentine's Day. Besides selling chocolate and flowers, the holiday seems designed to exasperate loneliness and force wide one's wallet.I don't know about y'all, but I'm still wrestling with the debt of the trinity of expensive American holidays just last year. Did that giant turkey dinner or flat screen under a gayly lit fake tree not say, "I love you?"PS: Hamilton needs more Albany — Alexander married in with the Schuylers. The Burr “Dangerous Man” letter that boiled over the Burr feud was printed in the Albany Register — a ****** Van Rensselaer is mentioned in that letter. You couldn't get more Albany without a beaver and Henry Hudson.Bleh — Albany should steal the logo of Alexander Hamilton doing the “Oh, oh, oh, what a feeling” Toyota jump off the top of the Hamilton star. Put it on the welcome to Albany sign with: "actually we killed Alexander Hamilton."

George Metesky's campaign of terror as ‘the Mad Bomber of New York' ended abruptly on 22nd January, 1957. Between 1940 and 1956, he had planted at least 32 bombs in public places, including theatres, railway stations, libraries, and landmarks such as Grand Central Terminal.  Police arrived just before midnight at his modest home in Waterbury, Connecticut, which he shared with his two sisters, and asked him for a handwriting sample. A search of his garage revealed bomb components matching those used in attacks across the city, along with a partially-assembled device larger than any found before. His arrest brought relief to a city that had lived with an intermittent but persistent threat for over a generation. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain Metesky's long-simmering grievance against his former employer, the Consolidated Edison Company; discover how the  breakthrough in the case came only when police consulted psychiatrist James Brussel; and reveal how Metesky underwent a surprising recovery in institutional care…  Further Reading: • ‘Unmasking the Mad Bomber' (Smithsonian, 2017): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/unmasking-the-mad-bomber-180962469/ • ‘Decades before Cesar Sayoc, Mad Bomber George Metesky terrorized New York City' (The Washington Post, 2018): https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2018/10/27/unhinged-unrelenting-mad-bomber-who-terrorized-new-york/ • ‘How New York's First Terrorist Led to the Birth of Criminal Profiling' (The New Yorker, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLNbsoPD5c #NewYork #Crime #50s #Strange Love the show?

In one of the most disturbing cases in modern memory, Kimberly Sullivan stands accused of holding her stepson captive for twenty years inside a locked room in their Waterbury, Connecticut home. When firefighters arrived to battle a blaze in February 2025, they didn't just find smoke—they found a man who was 5'9” tall and weighed only 68 pounds, a skeletal figure who told police he had set the fire himself because it was the only way out. Now, in a stunning twist, a Connecticut judge has ruled that Sullivan — currently out on bond with a GPS ankle monitor — has the right to access the victim's new name and secret location so she can “confront her accuser.” Prosecutors fought the motion, warning that the victim is terrified of her and still recovering physically and mentally from years of starvation and isolation. But the judge ruled that her constitutional rights outweigh his safety. Let that sink in: a woman accused of locking a child away for two decades now knows where that same victim lives. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down how the system failed at every turn — from the school that stopped asking questions, to child services that walked away after one welfare check, to a legal system that calls this “fairness.” How could this happen? How does someone vanish for twenty years while the entire state looks the other way? And how can a courtroom still prioritize an alleged abuser's rights over a survivor's safety? This isn't justice. It's a procedural nightmare — and it's exactly why the system is broken. #KimberlySullivan #WaterburyCase #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #SystemicFailure #JusticeSystem #VictimsRights #AbuseSurvivor #CourtroomFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Deep in the Vermont woods, the forgotten ruins of Ricker Basin whisper of lives once lived… and lives suddenly lost. In November of 1927, a catastrophic storm swept through Waterbury, destroying homes, claiming dozens of lives, and wiping a small town off the map. Now, nearly a century later, only cellar holes, a lonely cemetery, and a crumbling structure remain — silent witnesses to a tragedy time refused to bury. Join Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger as they hike into the remnants of Ricker Basin to uncover the haunting legacy of this lost Vermont village and the storm that erased it forever.
