Marc H. Morial is President and CEO of the National Urban League, the nation's largest historic civil rights and urban advocacy organization.
Our conversation with Marc Morial begins with some of the biggest political lessons we have learned in 2025 and what we can look forward to in 2026. We also discuss the rise of Democratic Socialism and the impact of Mamdani’s campaign in NYC.
In the second half of the show, we discuss a variety of things ranging from the impact of tariffs on Black Americans to the future of DEI. Marc also leaves us with some solid advice to fortify us in the new year.
Twenty-twenty-five’s queerest news and feature stories in review; this week’s Rainbow Rewind remembers Frank Kameny, Ma Rainey and key late December happenings; quick-study Kazakh Senators pass a “no promo homo” bill, Trump’s vile war on trans kids escalates, Congressional Republicans criminalize trans kid caregivers, a North Carolina County disbands its library board over a trans kid picture book, and St. Petersburg, Florida counters demolished rainbow crosswalks with multi-colored bike racks,
Those stories and more this week, when you choose “This Way Out.”
[NOTE: “NewsWrap” and the “Rainbow Rewind” segments return on our week of 12 January 2026 program.]

It was the evening of December 18, 2007, and I was setting up my recording equipment in an unfamiliar downtown San Francisco conference room.
The events coordinator of the Republican Roundtable had offered me an invitation to record Daniel Ellsberg – and of course I said yes – in spite of the unfamiliar venue.
One of the guests walked past me and said matter-of-factly: Ellsberg is a traitor and proceeded to his chair. And by the time that Daniel Ellsberg arrived I was certain that there were only two people in the room who were not Republican.
In spite of some skepticism Ellsberg moved the audience with one of the most personal and detailed descriptions of his experiences as Marine and then inside the Pentagon that in the end he received warm applause.
Daniel Ellsberg recently wrote a public letter disclosing that he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has only three to six months to live.
Radio producers, video makers, artist and writers are celebrate Daniel Ellsberg Week at the end of April. And this is my way of showing him love and appreciation.
French's 1985 nonfiction work, Beyond Power: Women, Men and Morals, was the basis for her major address at the First World Summit on Women and the Many Dimensions of Power, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in June 1990.
In part 1 (WINGS #37-25), French described a pre-existing matrifocal human social organization that prioritized care for offspring.
In Part 2 (#38-25) she describes and decries the rise of a patriarchal and hierarchical system that prioritizes competition for personal accumulation and power-over, and prescribes male control of females. French excoriates this system for wrecking the viability of life on earth.
Thirty-five years later, the accuracy of this analysis is increasingly clear.

Music has a hole in it. The fires, killer heat, Arctic blasts they dont make it. Global warming is not for popular music? Where are voices of ordinary folks suffering through the never-before-seen, calls for people power? Here we go: 21 songs for this grave new world.
This episode is audio from a book launch held in NYC on Dec. 6th, 2025, with the book being “China Changes Everything, an anthology by social justice activists, journalists and commentators.”
The event was sponsored by Friends of Socialist China, and held in the office of the International Action Center.

This week on Backbeat's Holiday show you'll hear 1920s blues from Bertha "Chippie" Hill, irreverent music from Huey P Smith, gospel from Clara Ward plus holiday themed songs from Leon Redbone, Madison Violet, Ron Sexsmith, Joe Turner and a Hanukah song in Spanish.
Today, we begin with honesty.
We are witnessing an architecture of erasure—
a project where history is rewritten with bulldozers and bombs.
The world watches; some in silence, others in open complicity.
But here, on this program, we refuse silence.
We ask the question the world keeps avoiding:
How long must a people suffer before their humanity is finally recognized as sacred.
To help us peel back the layers of this crisis,
we’re bringing you a rare meeting of minds—
a deep, unflinching analysis from two of the most formidable scholars working today:
Norman Finkelstein and Mouin Rabbani.
In a conversation originally hosted by India & Global Left,
these two analysts map the shifting tectonics of global power.
From the “fig leaf” of failed ceasefire resolutions
to the unsettling rise of far right voices claiming space in the debate,
Finkelstein and Rabbani offer the kind of forensic clarity
that helps us understand not just what is happening—
but why it is happening now.
They don’t simply comment on the moment.
They chart a roadmap for the global conscience.
So stay with us.
As we strip away the silence.
As we uplift the resilient.
As we carry forward the flame of justice.
This journey is shared.
It is urgent.
And it is sacred.
