Yes, yes the stock market, the not-so-great Depression. Does it matter water is being sucked out of the land and dumped into rising seas?

Donald Trump’s plan to take over Gaza has sparked outrage for its audacity and ethical concerns. It proposes U.S. ownership of Gaza, forcibly relocating two million Palestinians—a violation of international law. The plan envisions clearing rubble and redeveloping Gaza into a luxury destination, erasing Palestinian history and rights. Critics highlight its logistical, moral, and legal flaws, calling it a nightmare that undermines decades of U.S. policy and risks destabilizing the region further.

Founded in 1929, the Heard Museum’s mission is dedicated to educating people about the arts, heritage and life ways of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, with an emphasis on American Indian tribes of the Southwest. Committed to the sensitive and accurate portrayal of Native arts and cultures, the museum successfully combines the stories of American Indian people from a personal perspective with the beauty of art, showcasing old and new hand woven baskets, kachina dolls, other art and cultural objects. The museum showcases the art and regalia of Apache, Hopi, Navajo, Pueblo, and Yaqui, to name a few. More than 2000 items make up the museums exhibition. Artwork ranging from pottery, baskets, beadwork, dolls and paintings are on display. Our guest is Debra Krol, the communications manager who shared portions of the Heard Museum with me on December 10, 2011. We began our conversation with Krol when she introduced us to the Heard Museum and the unique features that reflect the evolution of south western Native American art. Debra Krol recommends two books: “Ishi’s Brain,” by Orin Starn, and “Indians, Merchants and Missionaries: The legacy of Colonial Encounters on the California Frontiers”, by Kent G. Lightfoot. Our interview with Orin Starn may be found here. The Heard Museum website is www.heard.org.

The laws around the control of marijuana and medical marijuana usage are many and complex. How we find our ways through this maze and understand the rules and regulations surrounding the marijuana plant, allegedly 1000′s of years old, used legally and illicitly worldwide and well known in Northern California by many as an economic base and/or a source of pleasure presents many curious questions. In this edition of Radio Curious we visit again with Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman in an attempt to clarify the laws and ordinances currently in effect in Mendocino County, California and how he as county Sheriff enforces them. Sheriff Allman has been heard to say that he would “like to take marijuana off the front page.” We hear how he views the evolution of marijuana control and whether he can foresee a time when marijuana no longer is on the front page. We spoke with Sheriff Tom Allman in the studios of Radio Curious on April 13, 2009 and began by asking what changes he has witnessed with regard to marijuana beginning when he was a child growing up in Garberville at the southern end of our neighbor, Humboldt County. The book he recommends is “Vet Tails” by Charlie Freed

Speaking at a community listening session at Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, Mayor Brandon Johnson briefly spoke about his administration's commitment to give all the city's children and its working people, a government rooted in Care, Fairness and Justice, before taking questions.
