This weekâs radio show is a replay of last weekâs show because I f%#@ked up and sent the wrong show to KAOS, and especially since this show has a piece that directly addresses and issue at the Evergreen State College then I wanted to make sure my KAOS listeners hear this show. (I usually do a replay on the second week of the month anyway.) This show show reveals how rather than wallowing in darkness we could instead create an empire of light! We then contemplate the differences between âsafeâ spaces and âpublicâ spaces and for the feature piece we describe the Machineâs seeming end game. The problem is that it is likely to end all of us.
Lightning bolts of tongue-in-cheek love thundering down. Check it out.

Gender/Race & Poverty in America
March 7, 2019, 4:25 p.m.
Gender/Race & Poverty in America: How the politics of welfare makes us sick and tired of being sick and tired!
Whatever Fannie Lou Hamer was talking about soon became an impassioned plea for a change in the system that exploited the Deltas African-Americans. All my life Ive been sick and tired, she shakes
her head. Now Im sick and tired of being sick and tired. Fannie Lou Hamer (1917 " 1977) who stood tall against the brutality, indignities, crushing poverty and intimidation of implacable racism
Our Guest, Felicia Kornbluh, Assoc. Prof. of History and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at the University of Vermont. Her new book Ensuring Poverty: Welfare Reform in Feminist Perspective couples with her earlier work The Battle for Welfare Rights: Politics and Poverty in Modern America
Felicia Kornbluh argues that the subject of welfare reform always has been single mothers, the animus always has been race, and the currency always has been inequality. Yet public conversations about poverty and welfare, even today, rarely acknowledge the nexus between racialized gender inequality and the economic vulnerability of single-mother families. In Ensuring Poverty, Felicia Kornbluh and Gwendolyn Mink assess the gendered history of welfare reform and advance the ideas for a welfare policy that would respect single mothers' rights while advancing their opportunities and assuring economic security for their families. Kornbluh and Mink consider welfare policy in the broad intersectional context of gender, race, poverty, and inequality.
Since passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act by the Clinton administration, the gendered dimensions of antipoverty policy have receded from debate. Mink and Kornbluh explore the narrowing of discussion that has occurred in recent decades and the path charted by social justice feminists in the 1990s and early 2000s, a course rejected by policy makers. They advocate a return to the social justice approach built on the equality of mothers, especially mothers of color, in policies aimed at poor families.

Kevin Anderson: Talk to the Oxford Climate Society, ONE of TWO
March 5, 2019, 3:42 p.m.
In August 2018, at age 15, Greta Thunberg started the first school strike for climate outside the Swedish parliament building. She skipped classes and maintained a regular presence every Friday. By the time she addressed the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December 2018 in Katowice, Poland, and the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, in January 2019, her courageous and well researched talks were seen by hundreds of thousands via the internet. This is part of her talk to EU politicians on 2/21/2019.
Greta Thunberg and Prof. Kevin Anderson have great respect for each other. They agree on the urgency of the task and on many details of the solutions. I'm combining Greta's demands with Kevin's proposals from his talk to the Oxford Climate Society. Kevin Anderson, is the chair of energy and climate change at the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering (MACE) at the University of Manchester, UK. He spoke on 1/25/2019, at the Oxford Climate Society in the UK.
Ash Kalra + Stefan Kalb: Saving Food and Forests
March 5, 2019, 3:35 p.m.
What can we do to be better citizens, better consumers and better advocates for the planet? Fighting waste and saving forests are a good place to start. This week on Sea Change Radio, we first talk to California Assembly member Ash Kalra about his new bill to save tropical forests. California may not have rainforests of its own, but Kalra explains how we are all playing a role in their destruction and how we all have an obligation to help save them. Then we hear from Stefan Kalb about his company, Shelf Engine, which helps grocery stores eliminate waste. We learn how stores usually handle their perishables and how Shelf Engine intends to change all this.
Kirill Vyshinsky, Imprisoned in Ukraine for Practicing Journalism
March 5, 2019, 10:14 a.m.
Phil interviews Eva Bartlett concerning her interviews with broadcaster/journalist, Kirill Vyshinsky, and his lawyer, Andriy Domansky. Vyshinsky has been in custody in Kiev, Ukraine, since May 2018 without trial. Human rights groups have had little to say about Vyshinsky, since they practice a double-standard when journalists are perceived as political adversaries of the West.
Vyshinsky has been charged with high treason by Ukrainian security forces though the news agency he leads, RIA Novosti Ukraine, publishes a wide range of articles by journalists both for and against the current government of Ukraine, which was installed by a US-supported coup in 2014. Bartlett discusses the many irregularities of Ukrainian justice in Vyshinsky's case and the possibility that his continuing incarceration might be connected with the upcoming Ukrainian election and the scheme to try to swap Vyshinsky for a Ukrainian charged with espionage in Russia.

The Revolutionary Heart and Life of Clarina Nichols
March 5, 2019, 9:32 a.m.
The life of Clarina Nichols and her work in the early womenâs rights movement in the United States has been greatly overlooked. As one of the countryâs first female newspaper editors and stump speakers, Clarina Nichols spoke out for temperance, abolition and womenâs rights at a time when doing so could get a woman killed. Unlike other activists, she personally experienced some of the cruelest sufferings that a married woman of her day could know. In her pursuit for justice she traveled westward facing all of the challenges of being a single mother and a womenâs rights activist of her day with good humor and resourcefulness. Clarina Nichols is portrayed by Diane Eickhoff in this chautauquan style interview. We began when I asked Clarina about her childhood.
The book Clarina Nichols recommends is âThe Sexes Throughout Nature (Pioneers of the womanâs movement),â by Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell.
The book Diane Eickhoff recommends is âThe Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 911â by Lawrence Wright.
