    Dion Lim: The Anti-Asian Hate Story America Forgot

    Everyday Conversations on Race for Everyday People

    In this powerful episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, host Simma the Inclusionist sits down with Emmy award-winning journalist and author Dion Lim to confront a question too many are avoiding: "Why has the conversation about anti-Asian hate gone silent"? Dion takes us behind the headline-making DM that changed her career — an anonymous video of an elderly Asian man being brutally beaten in San Francisco — and reveals what it took to bring stories like his to light when her own newsroom resisted.  From the murder of Vincent Chin to COVID-era scapegoating, she traces the deep historical roots of anti-Asian racism in America. She explains why the silence after the peak of BLM and Stop AAPI Hate is not just disappointing — it's dangerous. Topics in This Episode: Why anti-Asian hate is "as old as the Gold Rush" — and why we're erasing that history The cultural shame that keeps Asian American victims from speaking out The death threats and hit pieces Dion faced for reporting the truth How DEI rollbacks are affecting communities right now What Black-Asian solidarity actually looks like on the ground The role food, music, and pop culture play in bridging racial divides Dion's new book Amplify: My Fight for Asian America (foreword by Olivia Munn) You'll hear: The anonymous 12-second DM that changed everything — a video of an elderly Asian man being attacked while collecting cans in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood Why Asian American victims often don't come forward: cultural conditioning, family shame, distrust of media, and generational silence Anti-Asian hate isn't new — from the Gold Rush to Vincent Chin to Yik Oi Huang and Vishal Ratanapakdee How COVID gave people permission to blame Asians — and how "kung flu" and "China virus" language fueled violenc The backlash Dion faced: a Washington Post hit piece orchestrated by a former DA's team, death threats from people who denied anti-Asian hate was real Why the Asian American community isn't monolithic — income inequality, cultural differences, and the "model minority" myth The connection between Black and Asian communities — shared history, manufactured division, and what solidarity actually looks like on the ground Grassroots response: patrol groups, the Blue Angels in Oakland, and the role of everyday people showing up for each other Simma's own history with the original Rainbow Coalition — The Young Patriots, the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, and Asian groups working together in the late '60s and '70s The immigrant parent dynamic: silence as survival, pride as a long time coming, and what it meant when Dion's father finally expressed pride after her 20/20 appearance What Dion wants for the next generation: be loud, find your community, take care of your mental health, and don't be afraid to take up space TV recommendation: Warrior — the series about the rise of the Tongs and how Chinese workers were treated in California The ask: get Amplify on the New York Times bestseller list — and why it matters beyond sales Key Learnings: Silence is not safety. When institutions stop talking about race, hate doesn't disappear — it goes underground and grows. The rollback of DEI programs and race coverage in newsrooms makes communities more vulnerable, not more comfortable. Anti-Asian hate has deep American roots. This isn't a COVID story. It goes back to the Gold Rush, the Chinese Exclusion Act, and the murder of Vincent Chin. Understanding that history is the first step to not repeating it. Cultural conditioning keeps people quiet. Many Asian Americans are raised to not cause a fuss, not draw attention, not inconvenience others. That silence protects no one — it protects the people doing harm. Division between communities is often manufactured. The tension between Black and Asian communities didn't come from nowhere. It was seeded deliberately, and it dissolves quickly when people actually get to know each other. You don't have to share someone's experience to show up for them. The people who moved Dion most weren't Asian — they were people from every background who said "I didn't know, and now I do."

    More To The Story: It's impossible to overstate rapper Tupac Shakur's influence on music and culture in the 1990s. One of the era's bestselling musical artists, Tupac helped define West Coast hip-hop through vulnerable, introspective lyrics and Black power politics. By his own admission, sports writer Jeff Pearlman is not the rapper's likeliest biographer. But as he waited for what he called “the big, fat biography” of Tupac, his impatience and long-standing fascination with the rapper got the best of him. So he set out to write it himself. On this week's episode, Pearlman talks about his book Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur; discusses how Tupac's Black Panther mother, Afeni Shakur, shaped her son; and examines the nuance and mystery surrounding Tupac's life and death almost 30 years later.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Intern: Joni Binder | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: The 24 Best Books We Read in 2025 (Mother Jones)Listen: Baltimore Mayor to Trump: Don't Send Your Troops (More To The Story)Read: Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur (Mariner Books)Note: If you buy a book using our Bookshop link, a small share of the proceeds supports our journalism.

      ABOUT AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR The Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR April 27, 2018 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Writers: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Stan Lee Cast: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Chris Hemsworth as Thor Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther Zoe Saldaña as Gamora Karen Gillan as Nebula Tom Hiddleston as Loki Paul Bettany as Vision Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS So, they get right to it. Bad boy Thanos gets an infinity stone, the Power Stone. His play is to get all six Infinity Stones and wipe out half of all life in the universe.  His first stop is the ship carrying the surviving people of Asgard. Thanos easily overwhelms the remaining Asgardians, beats up Hulk, and steals the Space Stone from Loki's Tesseract. He then kills Loki. Thanos then destroys the ship and continues his hunt. Edris Elba helps make sure that Hulk returns to earth, where he crashes through the New York Sanctum. Back as Bruce, He warns Doctor Stephen Strange and Wong that Thanos is coming.  Tony Stark joins the conversation. Before he can call Steve Rogers to get the band back together, they attack the city to claim the Time Stone from Strange. Spider-Man is pulled into the chaos, and after they captures Strange aboard his spaceship, Stark and Peter Parker secretly hitch a ride into space to rescue him while Wong remains behind to defend the Sanctum. Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy answer a distress signal and save Thor floating in space. They agree they need to work together to stop Thanos. But they're too late. Thanos already possesses the Reality Stone and uses its power to manipulate everything around them. He captures Gamora after learning she knows the location of the Soul Stone. Desperate to save her adopted sister Nebula from torture, Gamora tells him where the stone is .  When they get there, the keeper of the Soul Stone, one Red Skull, reveals the price required to obtain it: the sacrifice of someone truly loved. In one of the film's most tragic moments, Thanos throws Gamora to her death, earning the Soul Stone. Vision and Wanda are ambushed in Scotland by Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, who attempt to rip the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead. Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon arrive just in time to save them, bringing the wounded Vision back to the Avengers Compound. Vision urges Wanda to destroy the Mind Stone and kill him if necessary to stop Thanos, but she cannot bring herself to do it. Instead, the team heads to Wakanda, believing Shuri may be able to safely remove the stone without sacrificing Vision's life. Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange end up on Titan and come face to face with Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis and they realize they're in the same team.  Using the Time Stone, Strange studies millions of possible futures and discovers only one path where they succeed. Together they execute an elaborate plan to restrain Thanos and remove the Infinity Gauntlet. For a moment, it almost works—until Nebula reveals that Gamora is dead. Overcome with grief and rage, Star-Lord attacks Thanos, ruining the team's hold on him. Thanos breaks free, defeats everyone, and nearly kills Iron Man. To save Tony's life, Doctor Strange willingly surrenders the Time Stone, despite knowing how dangerous it is. In Wakanda, the Avengers prepare for an all-out invasion from Thanos's army. Bruce Banner, unable to transform into Hulk, enters battle wearing the Hulkbuster armor. The tide finally turns when Thor arrives in spectacular fashion alongside Rocket and Groot, tearing through Thanos's army with his fresh new hammer/ax combo, Stormbreaker. Despite their efforts, Thanos himself eventually reaches Vision. Wanda heartbreakingly destroys the Mind Stone—and Vision with it—just before Thanos can claim it. But using the Time Stone, Thanos reverses time, restores Vision briefly to life, and violently tears the stone from his forehead, killing him again. With all six Infinity Stones finally united, the Infinity Gauntlet is complete. Thor attacks and buries Stormbreaker deep into Thanos's chest, but Thanos coldly tells him he “should have gone for the head.” He snaps his fingers and vanishes. Across the universe, half of all life immediately turns to dust. Bucky Barnes, Black Panther, Groot, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis all fade away. On Earth, Nick Fury manages to send a desperate signal from a mysterious pager moments before he too disappears. The survivors are left shattered and defeated. Tony Stark and Nebula are stranded on Titan. The remaining Avengers stand in stunned silence in Wakanda. And somewhere far away, Thanos sits alone on a quiet planet, watching the sunrise over a universe he believes he has finally “saved.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

    This episode is sponsored by smartwater®Ruth E. Carter is a trailblazing costume designer known for her work on Malcolm X, the Black Panther films, Sinners, and so many more iconic works. She has been awarded Academy Awards, a BAFTA, a Critics Choice Award, the Costume Designers Guild Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But before that, she was exploring Black literature and history in Black Studies-focused enrichment programs in her home state of Massachusetts. When she was a young adult, she was deconstructing clothing and taking notes from grunge scenes, citing Lisa Bonet and Madonna as early beauty and style inspiration. In our conversation, Ruth walks us through her life and career, explaining how the girl who dressed like a grunge artist would introduce Afrofuturism to the world. During our chat, Ruth tells us about how she has always drawn on her interest in literary, dramatic, and visual arts to design on film sets. She shared the initial culture shock she experienced at her HBCU, Hampton, and how the theater department helped her blend her artistic sensibilities with the coiffed presentation of her classmates. Ruth detailed how she drew on these experiences in her first position in School Daze, and how her dedication led to the first of many creative collaborations with directors like Spike Lee, which would shape her career. Our conversation ranges from the specific way she employs the lessons her psychologist mother taught her, like gaining and keeping people's trust, to spending time with Tina Turner. We discussed so much of her portfolio, and what compelled her to begin archiving her designs, which now make up the traveling exhibition “Ruth E. Carter: Afrofuturism in Costume Design.” Ruth is open about her painstakingly detailed commitment to historical accuracy and how her early exposure to ideas about the future being a site of freedom and exploration shaped the visual identity for Black Panther.

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Analysis The group discussed the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, focusing on its handling of grief and the character development of Shuri. They analyzed how the film addressed the loss of Chadwick Boseman and explored Shuri's emotional journey, including her encounter with the ancestral plane where she saw Killmonger. The discussion also covered the film's cinematography, underwater scenes, and the character of Namor, including his comic book history and representation in the film. Namor and Atlantean Characters Discussion Andy discussed the character Namor from Marvel comics, explaining his solo nature and conflicts with other heroes like the Hulk and Doctor Strange. He detailed Namor's history with the Phoenix Force, which led to him flooding Wakanda and creating animosity with T'Challa. Andy also covered other Atlantean characters including Namora and Atuma, noting that Marvel made Namor's home city Tl'Chok rather than Atlantis to avoid competing with DC's Aquaman. The discussion concluded with a brief mention of Riri Williams as a new character in the film. Ironheart Character Development Discussion The group discussed the character Riri Williams/Ironheart from Marvel comics and the related TV series. They compared the character development between the comic origins in 2016 and the TV adaptation, noting how the contemporary setting and diverse writing room made the character more relatable and less problematic than older comic book characters. The discussion also touched on how the Chicago setting in the series helped connect viewers to the story, and they reflected on the character's growth from the TV series to the movie adaptation. Marvel Character Names and Costumes The group discussed character names and costumes in Marvel comics, particularly focusing on Namor and his attire. They noted that while Namor's costume evolved over time to include pants and a vest, it made more sense for him to be semi-naked given his aquatic setting. Tiffany expressed frustration with illogical character names and costumes in comics, suggesting she would like a job at Marvel to review character designs and names. The discussion concluded with Andy providing background on Namor's character development and complex nature as both a ruler and hero. Angela Bassett's X-Men Casting Discussion The group discussed Angela Bassett's performance in the Black Panther film and her potential casting as Storm in the X-Men franchise. They compared Bassett's portrayal to Halle Berry's earlier performance and discussed how Bassett would have been a better fit for the role due to her character's African heritage and background. The conversation also touched on Bassett's other notable roles, including Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do with It and her performance in Waiting to Exhale.Thriller Drama Casting DiscussionThe group discussed potential casting ideas for a thriller drama featuring Viola Davis and Angela Bassett.

    Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area.  This week, Emily interviews Emory Douglas, the Black Panther Party's Minister of Culture and revolutionary artist. The episode centers on a retrospective of his work, Emory Douglas in Our Lifetime, on view at San Francisco's African American Arts and Culture Complex. About Artist Emory Douglas: The former Minister of Culture and Revolutionary Artist for the Black Panther Party, Douglas helped define the aesthetics of protest at the height of the Civil Rights era, cementing his status among the 20th century's most influential radical political artists. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he designed all but one of the Party's newspapers, each issue marked by the artist's bold, figurative illustrations outlined in thick black line and contrasted with bright colors, block text, and photomontage. The clearly rendered imagery, applied to a range of printed media from newspapers to posters, notecards, and pins, became a hallmark of liberation movements around the world, as supporters calling for an end to the oppression and subjugation of Black, Indigenous, and other communities sought to project a spirit of shared struggle through a common artistic vocabulary. Douglas was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1951, his family relocated to San Francisco, where he continues to live today. Widely known as an epicenter of radical countercultural politics in the post–World War II era, the city was also deeply divided and segregated, and it was the injustices that Douglas observed as a child that informed his political ideology as an adult. Beginning in the early 1960s, as a student of commercial art at City College of San Francisco, Douglas made frequent trips to nearby San Francisco State University to see civil rights leaders like Amiri Baraka, Stokely Carmichael, and H. Rap Brown speak. He soon lent his talents to the nascent Black Arts Movement, creating fliers and other promotional artworks to advertise events held across the city. These formative experiences solidified his intentions to dedicate his work to the broader struggle for Black liberation that was taking shape around him. In January 1967, Douglas met Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, two young activists from nearby Oakland, who, months earlier, had founded the Black Panther Party (BPP). Black self-determination was the Party's primary motivation, seeking to improve the position of underprivileged people of color in America through “whatever means necessary.” The organization initially focused on an individual's right to bear arms for defense against police violence, but its attention eventually turned to social justice issues like free breakfast for school children and fair housing. Seeking to promote their civil rights agenda to a primarily Black American audience, the Panthers developed a newspaper, the first of which Seale created and published in April 1967. That first issue was simple in layout and design, leading Douglas to offer his expertise in print production, understanding the power that strong visuals could lend to political action. Beginning with the second, he designed every issue thereafter—some 537 newspapers, from 1967 until it ceased publication in the early 1980s. Douglas quickly rose through the ranks of the organization: he was officially named its Revolutionary Artist and, eventually, Minister of Culture, overseeing all aspects of the BPP visual identity. Douglas's familiarity with the print production process was a fruitful asset, as he employed simple tools like markers, rub-off type, and prefabricated texture materials to create his visually impactful designs. To keep costs low, each paper was printed in one or two colors—black ink, often with a contrasting bright color. His illustrations shone a spotlight on state-sanctioned brutality, depicting law enforcement officers and politicians as pigs, while also portraying Black people bearing arms and defeating their oppressors. Some issues featured images of Black suffering, lambasting the political establishment for failing to meet the basic needs of people of color across the United States. Douglas strategically employed photomontage as well, integrating photographs alongside text and illustrations to emphasize urgent issues facing the Party. The impact and influence of Douglas's designs underscored the importance of a consistent graphic strategy in conveying complex political messages in very simple terms. This success was underscored by the massive global distribution of the newspaper and the frequent use of Douglas's illustrations in the political campaigns for organizations like the Organización de Solidaridad con los Pueblos de Asia, África y América Latina, Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, known as OSPAAAL. Despite the popularity of the Panthers' programs and their frequent struggle against the established white political order, the Party was disbanded in the early 1980s. Douglas continues to work as a political artist and activist, producing work that seamlessly translates complex political issues into easily understood illustration, a hallmark of the pieces he produced as a member of the Panthers. His striking figural illustrations connect him to generations of American artists like Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, and Charles White, while his combining of type and image draw on generations of political art emanating from across the world, including contemporaries working in Cuba during the Communist Revolution. Deeply bound to American history and politics, his imagery evokes a powerful, globally resonant narrative.

    It's Marvel Monday and we're heading to Wakanda! ABOUT BLACK PANTHER T'Challa, heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda, must step forward to lead his people into a new future and must confront a challenger from his country's past. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR BLACK PANTHER February 16, 2018 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF BLACK PANTHER Director: Ryan Coogler Writers: Ryan Coogler, Joe Robert Cole, Stan Lee Cast: Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS IT's time for a little history lesson, ok? So, a massive meteorite made of vibranium crashed into Africa Five tribes go to war over it until one warrior consumes a mysterious heart-shaped herb altered by the vibranium and gains incredible abilities, becoming the first Black Panther.  He unites the tribes and establishes the hidden nation of Wakanda. Over generations, Wakanda becomes the most technologically advanced civilization on Earth while hiding in plain sight. In 1992, King T'Chaka visits his younger brother, N'Jobu in California, where he has been working undercover. T'Chaka discovers that he has secretly helped a black-market arms dealer steal vibranium from Wakanda. When confronted, he turns violent, forcing T'Chaka to kill him. To protect Wakanda's secrets, T'Chaka abandons N'Jobu's young son in America and covers up the truth. Got it? Good. Years later, the King is killed and Prince T'Challa returns home to be crowned king of Wakanda. During the event, M'Baku of the Jabari Tribe challenges T'Challa for the throne in ritual combat. T'Challa wins but spares M'Baku's life. I'm sure that's for no reason though. Soon after, this dude name Claw shows up in London and steals an artifact from Wakanda at a Museum. Oh and some dude named Erik Stevens is with him. T'Challa goes to this party to try to capture Klaw but it doesn't go well and leads to a massive chase through the city. This dude that works for the government named Ross ends up being quite hurt, so T'Challa ends up rescuing him and bringing him to Wakanda to heal him with their neat tech. Zuri tells T'Challa some juicy info about how they left this kid in Oakland with no father and that kid grew up to be Erik Stevens and he now goes by Killmonger cuz of how many people he's killed and he's probably coming for us so hide your kids, hide your wife.  Killmonger murders Claw and delivers his body to Wakanda, earning an audience before the tribal elders. Revealing himself as son of N'Jobu and wants to challenge for the throne. T'Challa agrees and loses and is thrown off a waterfall cliff.  He is now the king.  Killmonger prepares to send vibranium weapons to operatives around the world to begin a global revolution. T'Challa's family leaves to asks M'Baku for help. Turns out, he has T'Challa on ice b ut in a good way. They use the heart-shaped herb to bring him back and restore his powers.  T'Challa returns to Wakanda for a final battle. T'Challa and Killmonger have a creazy fight and T'Challa is able to disable Killmonger suit. T'Challa offers Killmonger a change to live but he choses death instead, but T'Challa lets him watch one last sunset.  T'Challa decides Wakanda can no longer hide from the world. He opens an outreach center in Oakland at the very place where N'Jobu died. T'Challa then appears before the United Nations and reveals Wakanda's true technological power to the world.  And then to connect it all to the Avengers, his sister Shuri helps Bucky Barnes continue his recovery in Wakanda.

    VR31 - Is Justice Clarence Thomas the single most interesting person in American public life right now? Matt is here to argue that case upon the dismal milestone of Thomas officially becoming the second longest-serving justice in US Supreme Court history.  After a brief homage to Anita Hill's tenacity at Thomas's 1991 Senate confirmation hearing, we try to better understand the mind of this unusual man who has done uniquely massive amounts of damage to our legal system and our rights through a review of a speech he recently delivered at the University of Texas at Austin's Civitas Institute. Why did a former supporter of Malcolm X and the Black Panthers get fully behind the Reagan agenda, and why does he now believe that there is nothing wrong with Black Americans that harsher policing, the end of affirmative action, and lowering taxes on billionaires can't fix? Does he know that the intended audience of libertarian conservative Black nationalists he is trying to speak to is approximately the same size as the dedicated core of lefty capital-P Progressive devotees of Woodrow Wilson he is telling them to fear?

    What if the biggest culture war in America wasn't a grassroots revolution at all… but a system designed to keep ordinary people divided while the people at the top quietly consolidated more power than ever before? In this episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian dives into the hidden history behind modern DEI, identity politics, Cold War influence operations, and the institutional networks that shaped today's corporate and academic culture. From declassified CIA programs and Senate investigations to the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations, this is the hidden history of modern DEI. This episode follows the paper trail through the Cold War, the CIA's “Mighty Wurlitzer” propaganda network, McGeorge Bundy, the Ford Foundation, and the rise of the Black Panthers — whose free breakfast programs, health clinics, and cross-racial Rainbow Coalition threatened to unite working people around class and economic power. J Edgar Hoover and the FBI actually went after Fred Hampton because message wasn't Black vs. white. It was poor people vs. concentrated power. And according to Hoover that was more dangerous than riots and civil unrest. From the Congress for Cultural Freedom and foundation-funded activism to the rise of corporate HR culture and modern diversity bureaucracy, this episode explores how class-based populism may have been replaced by institutionalized identity management designed to absorb outrage without ever threatening the underlying power structure.

Issues 5 and 6 feature a city of samurai (apparently nowhere near Japan), a yeti (nowhere near the Himalayas), and a nuclear missile (which is far too close to Wakanda). Wait, did we say “Wakanda”?!

    Born To Watch - A Movie Podcast

    In this week's episode of Born to Watch, the boys step back into the ring for a full Creed 2015 Movie Review, diving deep into the legacy sequel that had the impossible task of continuing one of cinema's most iconic franchises. The Rocky series is sacred ground for movie lovers, sports fans and anyone who's ever wanted to punch frozen meat in a warehouse while inspirational music blasts in the background. But can Creed escape the shadow of Rocky Balboa and become something more than just another nostalgia cash grab?Whitey, G-Man and Dan on the Land lace up the gloves to unpack Ryan Coogler's 2015 boxing drama starring Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson. The boys discuss whether Adonis Creed's search for identity mirrors the movie's own struggle to forge a new path while still leaning heavily on the Rocky formula fans know and love.The crew debates whether Creed should've been a "hit it and quit it" one-off film, with Whitey arguing the sequels may have actually hurt the legacy of the original movie. There's also a breakdown of the emotional parallels between Rocky and Apollo Creed, why sports movies continue to hit men directly in the soul, and whether boxing films are basically mandatory viewing for blokes everywhere.Dan on the Land brings his own unique "pugilist" expertise to the review after heading straight from boxing training into the recording session. Naturally, this leads to discussions about outlaw dirt bike gangs, whiskey-throttling into barbed wire fences, and whether Michael B. Jordan actually fights like a real boxer or just looks good doing it on camera.The boys also dive into the film's incredible cinematography, especially the famous one-shot fight scene against Leo Sporino. Dan explains why the boxing choreography in Creed is miles ahead of the original Rocky films, while Whitey questions whether the movie rushes Adonis into world-level fights too quickly without earning it first.There's a huge conversation about the movie's emotional side, too. Does Creed actually succeed as a character study in the same way the original Rocky did? Was Rocky's cancer storyline genuinely moving or just emotional manipulation? And did the filmmakers wait too long before finally unleashing the iconic Rocky music cues everyone was waiting for?As always, the episode goes completely off the rails in classic Born to Watch fashion. The boys somehow detour into discussions about awkward TV scenes, The Wire connections, Ryan Gosling in The Big Short, The Hateful Eight, bum jokes, cowboy hats in Cape Town clubs, and why Whitey believes Pretty Ricky Conlan is one of the weakest final opponents in the entire Rocky universe.There's also a deep dive into Ryan Coogler's career, including Fruitvale Station, Black Panther and Sinners, plus a breakdown of Michael B. Jordan's rise to superstardom. The boys discuss Stallone's Oscar-nominated performance as Rocky Balboa and whether he was robbed of the Academy Award after winning the Golden Globe.On top of all that, you'll get the usual Born to Watch segments, including Overs and Unders, Hit/Sleeper/Dud, box office breakdowns, Rotten Tomatoes scores, and the famous Critical Thinking segment where the boys tackle the important questions, like whether you can realistically wear a grey tracksuit into a hip hop club.If you love boxing movies, Rocky nostalgia, hilarious tangents and three Aussie idiots trying to unpack one of the best sports dramas of the modern era, this episode is for you.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Is Creed the best Rocky movie since the original? Did the sequels ruin the legacy of Creed? Was Stallone robbed of the Oscar? And most importantly… could you catch the chicken?#Creed #Rocky #CreedReview #MichaelBJordan #SylvesterStallone #BoxingMovies #BornToWatch #MoviePodcast #SportsMovies #FilmReview

    A rich history of cross-racial coalitions and alliances of the Sixties' freedom movement, acclaimed historian Alice Echols's Black Power, White Heat reshapes our understanding of the entire era. One of the most divisive issues in recent progressive politics has been what role, if any, allies might legitimately play in other people's movements. Despite the significance of this debate, it has taken place in a historical vacuum.In Black Power, White Heat: From Solidarity Politics to Radical Chic, (Oxford UP, 2026) the Sixties historian Alice Echols explores what happened some sixty years ago when whites and Blacks came together in the fight against racism. She tells this story by focusing on two Black-led organizations that bookend the Sixties: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Black Panther Party. In SNCC, whites were, in part, meant to generate a "white heat" so searing it would accelerate change. Results were mixed, and white activists formed new movements, from women's liberation to draft resistance.By 1967, the Black Panther Party was advancing its own unique brand of "revolutionary nationalism," and seeking out white supporters. Partnering with whites brought the group visibility and resources, but it also put the Panthers at odds with other Black radicals, with unfortunate consequences.Black Power, White Heat explains how solidarity lost credibility, and not just from within the movement. Here, the FBI played a key role, and so did the discourse of "radical chic," advanced most effectively by the journalist Tom Wolfe. Still, even as Black-white solidarity lost steam, it was not entirely played out. In some of the era's most important political trials, even courtrooms became sites of solidarity as predominantly white juries returned verdicts that suggested they trusted Black Panther defendants more than the District Attorneys prosecuting them. Clear-eyed about the difficulties of solidarity, Black Power, White Heat nonetheless emphasizes the achievements and considerable promise of uniting across difference, and in ways that will inform and deepen current debates roiling progressive politics. Alice Echols is Professor of History at the University of Southern California. She is the author of numerous books, including Daring to Be Bad, Scars of Sweet Paradise: The Life and Times of Janis Joplin, Hot Stuff: Disco and the Remaking of American Culture.

    In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Douriean Fletcher!About Douriean Fletcher: An acclaimed jewelry designer and artisan whose work bridges adornment and storytelling. She was the specialty jeweler for Marvel's Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and became the first jewelry artist to be part of an Academy Award–winning costume design team—an honor she achieved twice. Douriean has expanded into spacial adornment art, creating large-scale installations and immersive environments.In our conversation, Douriean Fletcher discusses her exhibition, Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture, at the Walters Art Museum and how a ring in the museum's collection became a touchstone for the show. Years ago, she found an ancient Egyptian brass and red jasper ring online—covered in hieroglyphics and telling a story of religious belief, culture, and tradition. She saved the image, not knowing it belonged to the Walters. When putting together the exhibition, she showed the curator that same image—and found out it was part of the museum's collection all along.Fletcher also talks about the parallels between her pieces and objects in the Walters' collection, including a sculpture of Isis and Horus that reminded her of the Dogon sculptures she referenced in the Ramonda dress for Wakanda Forever. She discusses her move from wearable jewelry to larger spacial adornment that transforms gallery spaces.Be sure to check out Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture at the Walters Art Museum — https://thewalters.org/exhibitions/douriean-fletcher/Photo courtesy of subject.

    Welcome to Without a Country, where Corinne Fisher breaks down the biggest stories in politics, culture, and the internet without the usual filter.This episode covers a wide range of topics, starting with a review of the new documentary series Trust Me: The False Prophet and Russell Brand still talking about the most disgusting acts on podcasts, and a listener submitted story about sloths who are being treated poorly. Corinne get into the chilling tale of Rapper/R&B star D4vd who has been charged in the murder of a 14 year old girl.

There's also a look at the DOJ going after The Southern Poverty Law Center seemingly for following the same playbook the FBI did to infiltrate the Black Panthers in the 1970's.

    Former political prisoner Mahmoud al-Arda was first arrested by Israeli occupation forces in 1992 due to his involvement in the First Intifada and his membership in Islamic Jihad. Since then, for the past three decades, al-Arda has been incarcerated in different Israeli prisons, and he made international headlines in 2021 after leading a daring, successful, but short-lived escape from the maximum-security Gilboa Prison. In this blockbuster episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa—a former Black Panther and political prisoner in the US—speaks with al-Arda after he and 2,000 other Palestinian prisoners were finally released from incarceration in Israel in 2025.Additional Links/InfoB'Tselem, Statistics on Palestinians in Israeli CustodyB'Tselem, “Welcome to Hell”: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps (Report)Mansa Musa, TRNN, “Inside Israel's Prison Regime”Ruwaida Amer, Electronic Intifada, “Freedom is the eternal dream”Aseel Mousa, Middle East Eye, “Jailbreak, freedom, exile: Life of Mahmoud al-Arda, architect of daring Israeli prison escape”Credits Videography: Ruwaida Amer, Cameron GranadinoProducer / Editor: Cameron GranadinoVoiceover: Danny Bou-MarounBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

    Bonus Episode of "Inside Schizophrenia" podcast from Healthline Media. “Paranoid schizophrenic admits to attacking dog walker.” When we watch a horror movie, we know the “madman” on screen is a work of fiction. But when the nightly news leads with a diagnosis to explain a tragedy, the fear it creates is very real — and often permanent.Why does the media lead with schizophrenia only when the story involves violence, yet remain silent when it comes to stories of recovery, hope, and humanity? In this hard-hitting episode, host Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) explores the Lead with Fear phenomenon — the dangerous journalistic trend of linking a diagnosis to a crime before the facts are even in — and why schizophrenia seems to have the worst PR team in the world. Later in the show, we sit down with two media heavyweights who are using their platforms to overhaul how the world views mental health.: Janet Yang, an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning producer and former President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Frank Kosa, an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker for National Geographic, the History Channel, and A&E. Listener Take-A-Ways: why "paranoid schizophrenia" is an obsolete clinical term that journalists refuse to let go of the startling statistic that fewer than 20% of news stories about schizophrenia include themes of recovery practical ways you can hold news outlets accountable and promote stories of hope Our guest, Frank Kosa, is an award-winning documentary producer-writer-director, and a journalist. He produced National Geographic's “The Story of God with Morgan Freeman,” wrote the inaugural season of Travel Channel's hit show “Booze Traveler,” produced the award-winning “The Revolutionary War,” a mini-series for A&E, “Christianity: The Second Millennium” and multiple shows of TV's most engaging documentary series including “Life Without People,” “The Universe,” and “Game Changers.” His shows have aired on The Science Channel, The History Channel, Discovery, A&E, TLC, Animal Planet, The Travel Channel, The Weather Channel, Lifetime, Bloomberg TV, HGTV, and National Geographic. His print journalism has appeared in The LA Times, USA Today, Sacramento Bee, The Christian Science Monitor, and numerous magazines. He has also worked for films and TV shows produced by Universal, Warner Bros., & Sony. He is Emmy-nominated, has won a Cable Ace and other awards, and strives to tell stories that deeply connect with audiences.  Our guest, Janet Yang, is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning Hollywood producer, former President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and has been named one of the “50 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood” by the Hollywood Reporter. Yang's extensive film and television credits include “The Joy Luck Club,” “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” “The Weight of Water,” “Shanghai Calling,” “High Crimes,” “Zero Effect,” and “Over the Moon.” Yang began her career by running the first distribution company to market Chinese films into North America. She also brokered the reintroduction of American studio films to the Chinese marketplace after a decades-long hiatus. This, in turn, led to joining Steven Spielberg on the historic production of “Empire of the Sun.” This was followed by long-term partnership with multiple Academy-Award winning writer/director, Oliver Stone. Our host, Rachel Star Withers, (Link: www.rachelstarlive.com) is an entertainer, international speaker, video producer, and schizophrenic. She has appeared on MTV's Ridiculousness, TruTV, NBC's America's Got Talent, Marvel's Black Panther, TUBI's #shockfight, Goliath: Playing with Reality, and is the host of the HealthLine podcast “Inside Schizophrenia”. She grew up seeing monsters, hearing people in the walls, and having intense urges to hurt herself. Rachel creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage, and letting others like her know they are not alone and can still live an amazing life. She has created a kid's mental health comic line, The Adventures of ____.

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.

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,

You know the avengers: Captain America , black widow , falcon, and Wanda. The classics. It does not go well.  After another bad mission,  The UN comes in and says they want to put the Avengers under government control with something called the Sokovia Accords.. Tony who shows up to this meeting, feeling guilty about creating Ultron, is like “yeah maybe we should have supervision.” Steve, meanwhile, is like “I actually trust myself more than literally any government on earth.” Uh oh, I smell a civil war!  We see a guy named Zemo kill Bucky's old Hydra handler and steal the magic words book that turns Bucky into a murder robot.  Meanwhile, at the big UN meeting, a bomb goes off and kills the king of Wakanda. Security footage makes it look like Bucky did it. The kings son, T'Challa, is very much on the case.  Steve decides he's gonna go get Bucky himself despite the fact that he could get arrested in the process. He and Sam track him down and try to talk to him, where things immediately turn into a whole mess. T'Challa shows up to kill Bucky, and it leads to a massive chase which ends in everyone getting arrested because you can't just do whatever you want anymore.  They bring in a psychiatrist to evaluate Bucky but it's actually Zemo. Bucky goes nuts but Zemo escapes.  Steve is able to save Bucky from the water and  Bucky comes back to himself. He explains that Zemo framed him and is heading to Siberia, where Hydra supposedly has a bunch more Winter Soldiers ready to rock n roll.  Tony & Natasha decide they need to form a little group to stop Steve & Bucky, including newbies Black Panther and Tony's new pet project, Spider-Man.  Steve knows he's gonna need help of his own, so he a crew consisting of some other avengers + ant man.  So naturally, everyone meets at an airport in Germany. Big fight, big fun. Things stop being fun and Natasha helps Steve and Bucky escape. the rest of Steve's crew gets tossed into underwater super prison jail  Tony eventually realizes Bucky was framed and finds Steve and Bucky in Siberia to call a temporary truce. But then Zemo reveals the footage from 1991 showing that Bucky murdered Tony's parents . And Steve knew. Ohhhhhhh SNAP.  Tony takes that information about as well as you'd expect. Tony fights Steve and Bucky, Bucky loses his robot arm, Steve fights Tony hard an departs with Bucky, leaving his shield behind, and Zemo is like mission accomplished. But then T'Challa shows up and arrests him.  Steve then breaks everyone out of the underwater prison,  and Bucky heads to Wakanda to be frozen until someone can deprogram his murder brain.
