“I’m kind of confused with our president, who doesn't really have a concept of justice, is doing on top of the building on this banner right now.” People in D.C. react to Trump’s image on the DOJ building, with many raising concerns about overreach and some praising it as a show of strength.

What if we're thinking about this all wrong. What if now wasn't a time period but a deliberate commitment. In 1719, the first enslaved Africans were brought to the land that would eventually become Mississippi.By 1823, the Mississippi State Legislature had codified its first slave code. Slave codes were laws that made it illegal for five or more enslaved people to gather and they also required written permission before leaving a plantation even if it were to go to church. These were the types of laws and pr ...

When I was seven years old, this photograph was taken of me mimicking the pose of a dea ballerina. I didn't know the term French modernism. I didn't know anything about impressionism. I just knew that I wanted to step into her pose because I wanted to feel her balance, her power, her grace. Because I was curious about her life. I wondered who trained her, what was expected of her. Today, we might call that kinesthetic empathy. But back then I didn't know there was a term for what I was doing. And then years ...

This is my favorite failure. Almost 10 years ago, I launched a petition to reduce the ton tax in Luxmbbo. It went nowhere. Nowhere.Not enough signatures, no political traction, honestly a total flop. But when you are an activist, you have to trust the process, right. Look behind the horizon because four years later, even without this petition, the top tax did drop.It dropped because hundreds of conversation followed because the the topic refused to die because we refused to shut up because we insisted becau ...

Humanity today believes that happiness can be engineered through science and technology. We cured diseases, connect across continents in seconds, and even speak of colonizing Mars. And yet, wars region.History shows us just how true this is. The 20th century was defined by two conflicts alone, the first and second world wars that resulted in an estimate 85 and 27 million deeds accounting for 3/4 of all war deeds since 1800s. And while the 21st century has seen fewer catastrophic interstate conflicts, the nu ...

That is an excerpt from St. Louis Blues by WC Handy, also famously covered by Louisie Armstrong. There's a lot I can say about this piece.The brilliant slow soloing Armstrong does on the song that I can't quite do justice. The poignant lyrics. There's a lot I can say about the people who love this song.The wonderful influence it had on the blues and jazz scene from music from Poland to Japan. But I'm not here to talk about the people who loved this song. No, I'm here to talk about the people who hated it.mo ...

GOVERNOR WALS, WHEN I SAW THE NEWS THIS MORNING, YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON I THOUGHT OF GIVEN EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LIVED THROUGH AND THE YOU'VE LIVED THROUGH SO MUCH ON HER WATCH.

WELL, WELL, GOOD NEWS HAS BEEN KIND OF SCARCE SINCE CHRISTIE NOEM AND DONALD TRUMP'S FOLKS SHOWED UP IN DECEMBER. SO I'M GLAD SHE'S GONE, BUT I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND IT AND EVERYBODY ELSE IT'S T ...

We talk a lot on the show about the need for resistance against the unjust actio of our current federal government. Now, resistance looks different for everyone. It looks like voting. It looks like running for office. It looks like peacefully protesting in the streets.It looks like observing the action of federal agents in our cities. And it looks like prayer. Faith leaders have been on the forefront of resisting Donald Trump's most inhumane policies from his immigration crackdown to voter suppression.Since ...

Lawmakers are urging the government to take action against alleged associates of Jeffrey Epstein here in the U .S. after the arrest of former Prince Andrew in Britain. Congress has sought to investigate Andrew over his ties to Epstein, but legal limits on subpoena power have complicated efforts by the House oversight committee to compel his testimony despite months of Democratic requests for questioning.Let's bring in Democratic Congresswoman Roe Khanna of California. He sits on the House oversight committe ...
