Kerala Healthworker Strike (WINGS49-25)

ASHA stands for accredited social health activists. They are part of a government of India scheme to provide health services at the village level. Originally volunteers, the women promote public health in the villages, especially children's and women's health. India's central government pays states to give an incentive, and state governments decide on additional honoraria. Since the scheme took off in 2008, the state of Kerala made very little increase in incentives but added huge increases in work load and rules. In 2025, ASHA workers in Kerala led a protracted strike for better pay, retirement benefits, and working conditions. The state government disrespected them and even concealed national increase in benefits. Public widely supported the strike. Smail gain won so far. Election in April.

Blanche Boyd- "Self-Styled Outlaw Lesbians"

Terminal Velocity The concept of memoir versus fiction leads many authors to transform their personal experiences and life to fiction. Blanche Boyd is a native of South Carolina and a Professor of Literature at Connecticut College. She is also the author of the book entitled, “Terminal Velocity.” This is a book about a group of self-styled lesbian outlaws in the 1970s. We discussed the relationship of memoir and fiction, and how it applies to her work. Blanche Boyd recommends “Cathedral” & “To the Waterfall,” both by Raymond Carver.

TWIP-260315

Today, we turn to another critical conversation, one that widens the lens beyond Palestine and into the escalating war between the United States and Iran. Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a former Pentagon adviser known for his blunt strategic assessments, joined geopolitical analyst Cyrus Janssen to examine what they call the most dangerous phase of the conflict. Their discussion, titled “Worst of Iran War Still Ahead,” paints a sobering picture of a war spiraling beyond control. Macgregor argues that the United States has been drawn into a conflict that serves interests far from home, interests shaped by a foreign political agenda that has long influenced American policy in the region. He describes how Iran, far from being weakened, has demonstrated strategic patience, military sophistication, and a deep understanding of the vulnerabilities in U.S. and Israeli defense systems. From disabling advanced radar networks in hours to overwhelming interception systems with waves of older rockets, Iran has shown that it holds significant leverage, militarily and economically. And the consequences ripple outward. The Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world’s energy flows, is now a bargaining chip in Iran’s hands. Global markets tremble. Gas prices rise. And American taxpayers watch billions of dollars disappear into a war many believe is not theirs. Across these conversations, whether from Palestinian Muslims and Christians, Israeli historians, or American military analysts a single truth emerges: the people paying the highest price are the civilians caught beneath the machinery of power. Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and across the occupied territories feel the shockwaves of every regional escalation. Their lives are shaped by decisions made in distant capitals, by alliances forged without their consent, and by wars that deepen their suffering. This week, we are reminded that the struggle for justice is not isolated. It is interconnected. The occupation, the regional wars, the global power plays; they form a single landscape of inequality and resistance. And through every conversation, one message rises: Palestinians are not passive subjects of history. They are witnesses. They are truth tellers. They are part of a global movement demanding dignity, accountability, and liberation. Today, we bring these voices together, not as separate stories, but as one shared narrative of struggle and clarity. This is This Week in Palestine.

Buck Wild: We Regret Nothing

This is what happens when you rank presidents for a year and then actually think about it. In this Buck Wild episode of The Buck Starts Here, Kyle and Eric hit pause on the timeline to revisit their presidential ranking system and ask the uncomfortable question: are we even being consistent anymore? What started as “judge the presidency only” has slowly turned into “well, but what happened later though,” and now it is time to sort it out. They reexamine scores for John Quincy Adams, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and George Washington, debate whether quiet leadership gets unfairly punished, and wrestle with how much long-term impact should matter. Along the way, they talk military leadership, unionism, compromise, and why some presidents look worse only because they showed up at the wrong moment. This is not a definitive answer episode. It is a transparency episode. And yes, Franklin Pierce still catches strays. The Buck StartsHere: Buck Wild History, but we admit when the spreadsheet gets weird.

Buck Wild: Frederick Douglass

This is not a full biography. This is a Buck Wild sprint through 13 facts about Frederick Douglass that explain why he kept outplaying everyone who tried to underestimate him. Born enslaved and denied education, Douglass figured out early that literacy was power and silence was the trap. He learned to read anyway. He learned to write anyway. And then he used both to dismantle pro-slavery arguments, embarrass powerful people, and force America to listen whether it wanted to or not. In this Buck Wild episode of The Buck Starts Here, Kyle and Eric hit the highlights fast and loud. Douglass’s escape from slavery. His rise as an unmatched speaker. His autobiographies that hit harder than any pamphlet. His willingness to argue with allies, break with movements, and refuse half-measures when the moment demanded more. These are not random facts. They are receipts. Frederick Douglass did not win by accident. He read. He wrote. He won.

Buck Wild: States Rights

Kyle and Eric go Buck Wild in this bonus episode about the biggest historical cop-out of all time: states’ rights. You’ve heard the phrase, now hear the chaos behind it. From the 10th Amendment’s “you’re not my real dad” energy to John C. Calhoun’s compact theory meltdown, the guys trace how a constitutional clause got twisted into America’s longest-running excuse for bad behavior. We’re talking nullification drama, Andrew Jackson’s federal power flex, slavery masquerading as “liberty,” and the eternal Southern tradition of throwing tantrums every time Washington says “no.” (Spoiler: they always say it’s not about slavery, it was about slavery.) It’s fast, furious, and historically feral, because when it comes to states’ rights, the receipts are messy, the logic is nonexistent, and the vibe is pure denial. The Buck Starts Here: Where history meets sharp wit, hard truths, and maximum side-eye.

Franklin Pierce Pt. II

Franklin Pierce finally gets the presidency and walks into the White House like the friend everyone trusts to keep things calm. You know the type. Reasonable. Even-tempered. Not going to rock the boat. Which is a bold strategy when the boat is already taking on water and half the passengers are lighting matches. In this episode of The Buck Starts Here, Pierce tries to govern with balance, restraint, and vibes. He builds a cabinet designed to keep everyone happy. He rotates offices like it is a team sport. He racks up real wins like the Gadsden Purchase and opening Japan to American trade. For a hot minute, it looks like maybe, just maybe, calm leadership will work. Then he signs the Kansas Nebraska Act and the Missouri Compromise immediately dies on the floor. Popular sovereignty turns into a contact sport. Kansas fills up with armed settlers. Elections get rigged. Violence breaks out. Bleeding Kansas becomes a national preview of the Civil War, and Pierce responds by backing pro-slavery governments that barely bother pretending to be legitimate. Northern Democrats bail. The Whigs finish collapsing. The Republican Party shows up out of sheer rage. Pierce keeps insisting calm will save the Union. History gently taps him on the shoulder and says no. So that went poorly. The Buck Starts Here: History, but we do not skip the consequences.

---

Franklin Pierce Pt. I

Franklin Pierce is the guy everyone agrees is a great choice... right up until reality shows up with a chair and starts swinging. In this episode of The Buck Starts Here, Kyle and Eric introduce you to Pierce before the presidency, back when he is smart, likable, well connected, and absolutely crushing the 19th century political ladder. Pierce does everything correctly. He rises fast in New Hampshire. He glides through Congress. He builds a reputation as the Democratic Party’s most dependable team player. Everyone trusts him. Nobody worries about him. On paper, this man is a dream. And then life happens. Repeatedly. Brutally. This episode walks through Pierce’s marriage to Jane Appleton, her deep discomfort with politics, and the relentless personal tragedies that wipe out their entire family. By the time Pierce reenters national life, grief is no longer an event. It is the background setting. Add in a stint in the Mexican American War and a Democratic Party that cannot stop fighting itself, and suddenly Pierce is not running for president so much as being gently shoved toward it by exhausted party leaders. This is not the presidency yet. This is the setup. And it is already uncomfortable. The Buck Starts Here: History, but we do not lie about how bad this is going to get.

---

Millard Fillmore Pt. II

Okay, so Millard Fillmore finally gets the presidency... and immediately chooses the most stressful possible way to use it. Kyle and Eric break down Fillmore’s term in office, the Compromise of 1850, and the moment he decided that preserving the Union mattered more than literally anything else. This episode covers California’s admission, congressional meltdown season, popular sovereignty nonsense, and the Fugitive Slave Act - aka the law that made Fillmore historically radioactive forever. He thought enforcement would restore order. Instead, he radicalized the North, emboldened the South, and proved that compromise can absolutely make everything worse. It’s not a villain story. It’s a tragedy about a man who believed in institutions so hard he signed off on injustice to keep them intact. The Buck Starts Here - history, but with consequences.

---

Millard Fillmore Pt. I

Alright, let’s talk about the president nobody remembers, before he even becomes president. In this episode of The Buck Starts Here, Kyle and Eric introduce you to Millard Fillmore: born poor, raised rough, powered entirely by grit, spite, and an unhealthy love of rules. This is Fillmore’s origin story. Frontier childhood, child labor, self-education, law school by vibes, and a political rise fueled not by charisma but by competence. He’s a Whig’s Whig: anti-Jackson, pro-Congress, deeply suspicious of loud executives, and convinced that if the republic collapses it’ll be because people stopped reading the fine print. No presidency yet. No Compromise of 1850 chaos. Just a man who did everything right, believed way too hard in institutions, and still ended up as a historical shrug emoji. The Buck Starts Here — where even the boring ones get roasted.
