My beloved neighbor, Sandra Pettway, passed away today. @audioflux.bsky.social thank you for giving me a reason to interview her for my Circuit 3 piece and preserving her voice for those of us who were fortunate to know her.

FYI: I've been updating this spreadsheet of English-language radio/podcast shows & production companies that accept pitches for segments, stories and packages. There are a few upcoming deadlines and some new additions... bit.ly/pitchlist2026

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

ICE goon pushes man in front of a moving bus.

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

Big news for our community. AIR has received a $1.5M investment from the Ford Foundation to strengthen and support the future of independent audio.

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social. "Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."

I've been creating resources lists with Listly for years but the website is going away soon so I'm recreating the lists on my website. To start, here's a list of online archival resources for audio and video productions. Please suggest additions! aquifermedia.com/lists/archiv...

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

I want to add a small but suggestive experience to this. In a recent piece I did for @newyorker.com about ICE arrests of Democratic officials and lawmakers, we got a comment from the White House, in which a spokesperson said that the magazine was “encouraging lawless behavior” by reporting on it.

Dogged attachment to an unjust and planet-killing "normalcy" is what helped usher in this hostile takeover of our government. The only way out is to create something we've never had before not to tweak what now is.

How does wildly unpopular legislation become law and not one story about it is how obviously undemocratic our country already is? How this proves hostile takeover of our government?

Your race, place and background may keep you out of the bull's eye but with this regime hell bent on destroying anything that doesn't enrich them, eventually the #MAGAMurderRegime tide shall down all in its wake.

Patriotism is having the courage to demand justice, protect our communities, and hold power accountable - especially when that power is being abused to terrorize our neighborhoods. #4thofJuly

Our #4thOfJuly parade entry (front and back)

#MAGAMurderBill is the only apt descriptor for this evil monstrosity that will empower the regime to do away with whomever they deem undesirable.

I don't understand the seasons in @hbothegildedage.bsky.social. How is this a NY winter?
