    This time John's monologue is about The Justice Dept releasing millions more pages related to Jeffrey Epstein, revealing more casual ties to Trump and Trumpworld goons like Howard Lutnick and Elon Musk, who both denied having any involvement with Epstein in the decade before his death. He also talks about Don Lemon and Georgia Fort who were the two journalists arrested for covering an anti-ICE protest at a St. Paul, MN church. Then John welcomes 2 guests: Rep.

    We're Still here with Simon and Julie

    In this episode - Simon Moya Smith, and Julie Francella, talk with John about the resurgence of the American Indian Movement (AIM) in Minneapolis, drawing striking parallels between historical and contemporary struggles faced by Indigenous communities. Simon and Julie emphasized the importance of understanding that the fight for Indigenous rights is not merely a relic of the past, but a living, breathing movement that continues to evolve. They pointed out that the emergence of social media has changed the landscape of activism, allowing Indigenous voices to share their stories and experiences in real-time, bypassing traditional media channels that historically marginalized their narratives. The discussion also delved into the impacts of colonization on Indigenous identity and the ongoing trauma that Indigenous people face. Julie highlighted the psychological effects of racial profiling and the necessity for Indigenous youth to constantly prove their identity to authorities that often fail to recognize their sovereignty. One of the most poignant moments in the episode came when Simon remarked, "For Indigenous people, it has been about protecting our community and life." This statement encapsulates the essence of the American Indian Movement's mission, which has always been about safeguarding not just Indigenous lives, but the entire community. As the conversation unfolded, both Simon and Julie expressed their hope for a future where understanding and respect for Indigenous history and rights are paramount. They called on listeners to recognize that "nobody's illegal on stolen land," challenging the prevailing narratives that often ignore the historical context of Indigenous peoples' presence on their ancestral lands. The episode culminated in a powerful reminder that the fight for justice is ongoing and that each generation has a role to play in advocating for the rights of Indigenous peoples. As Simon aptly put it, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." This sentiment resonates deeply in a world where the struggles of the past continue to echo into the present. For anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Indigenous issues and the complexities of identity, this episode is a must-listen. Simon and Julie's insights provide a valuable perspective on the importance of community, activism, and the enduring legacy of the American Indian Movement.

    Green Around the Gills Because the Green-Eyed Monster Thinks the Grass is Greener in Greenland

    John talks about Trump's lust for seizing control of Greenland and how that is playing out on the world stage. Trump spoke at the Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland, receiving a wall of sharp words and condemnations for American foreign and economic policy toward Europe. He also discusses anti-ICE protestors disrupting a sermon at Cities Church in ST. Paul Minnesota where their pastor moonlights as an ICE Director in their local field office. Then, he interviews Larry Cohen who is the Executive Director and Co-founder of Point Source Youth, a national organization working to prevent and end youth homelessness in the U.S. through advocacy, research, and support of scalable interventions like direct cash transfers and targeted housing assistance. And, Erika Hartman, who is Chief Executive Officer at Safe Place for Youth, which provides over 1,200+ young people with critical life-saving services yearly including daily meals, substance abuse counseling, mental health services, and access to housing. Point Source Youth and Safe Place for Youth are expanding the CASH LA Targeted Housing Assistance Program, a cost-efficient, evidence-based intervention that helps young people ages 18 to 30 stay housed before they enter the homelessness system. Next, John jokes with J-L Cauvin who is a community advocate, lawyer, and comedian who is running as a Democrat to succeed Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill and represent New Jersey’s 11th District in Congress. And then lastly, he welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn who's an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and served as the executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State until his retirement in 2017.
