    Introducing "I Didn't Know How to Be a Partner in My Own Care": Joel Nelson on Learning Self-Advocacy Late from Our Skin: A Personal Discovery Podcast. Follow the show: Our Skin: A Personal Discovery Podcast Joel Nelson spent his childhood being discussed in his doctors’ appointments, rather than conversed with. He was ten when the joint pain started, and for the next eight years the conversations about his body happened over his head, behind a curtain, between the adults in the room. He was poked and prodded and left in pain while a plan was made without him. This inspired a deep urge to speak for himself, and to empower others to do the same. To that end, Joel is the founder of Psoriatic Disease UK, an IFPA ambassador, and the administrator of a peer support community of more than forty thousand people. He talks with Holly about the self-advocacy skill nobody handed him, what it cost to learn it in his twenties, and how he tries to hand it to the next person. Plus, in our history section, what the research says about why autoimmune disease is rising worldwide. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    08-06-26 Part One - Michigan's Sore Winner

    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Abdul El-Sayed sparked online controversy moments after capturing the Democratic Party’s nomination in Michigan's Senate race for his word choice in challenging Republican nominee Mike Rogers to a series of five debates. "You and I both know that you will wither in front of your own crimes, but I'm gonna make sure Michiganders know about them. By the time we're done, you are not going to have safe quarter from people holding you accountable for what you've done," El-Sayed said. The language of "safe quarter" is raising eyebrows among viewers online. Also Francesca Hong reverses her remarks now saying Thanksgiving is her 'favorite holiday,' answers she does not 'want to cancel it' / Hong was also berated over her ‘whiteness’ comments pulling in her own family as 'Weirdo racism’ / and Democrats are in the hot seat for skipping a crucial hearing on radical group hiding in US.

    In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, polling on the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act shows high broad support for its basic concepts like voter ID and proof of citizenship, but overall numbers shift significantly depending on how the legislation and its specific details are framed to voters. 62% of likely voters expressed overall support for the SAVE Act in a Rasmussen Reports survey, compared to 33% who opposed it. Also President Trump did not rule out potentially firing U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro after she filed a motion to dismiss the case against those charged with vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, saying “I haven’t made a determination” Tuesday when asked if her job is safe.

    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s game plan for government-run grocery stores faced criticism Monday after a city official told reporters a "library-card-esque system" may be employed to prevent abuse of the 30% discounted markets.

Also a writer arrested for allegedly beating his wife, calls Sophie Cunningham 'anti-trans, anti-black' in a wild op-ed / and a comparison of the cost of living today vs. decades ago.
