Rogue Resistance

Corruption is the backbone of authoritarian rule. It lashes out with many arms, reaching across borders, crushing democracy, and twisting public institutions into weapons of personal gain. From global corruption to Oregon’s past to modern-day activism, Rogue Resistance reveals how the six-armed monster of authoritarian corruption reaches into every corner — and how informed, engaged communities can push back. Don’t miss it! 

Kleptocracy is front and center in the latest episode of Rogue Resistance as host Rhonda Nowak takes aim at Donald Trump’s blatant abuse of power and self-enrichment during his second term. From past political scandals to today’s corruption, Rhonda connects the dots on how our democracy got here—and what we can do about it.

She’s joined by attorney Garrett West, who breaks down the constitutional safeguards meant to stop corruption (and why they’re failing). Then she takes to the streets in another segment of “Rogue on the Road” where a brigade of banner bearers on I-5 overpasses use bold, visible protest to demand change.

In this enlightening episode of Rogue Resistance, host Rhonda Nowak explores the disturbing cycle of rising fear, racism, and anti-immigrant rhetoric in America. Delving into historical discriminatory laws and recent policies, she highlights the perpetual scapegoating of immigrants. The episode shifts focus to the powerful response through creative resistance, showcasing a rich history of artistic activism from the 1930s to the present day. Rhonda speaks with Ashland artist/activist Manya Yana Campos and ORD2 artists/activists Dasja Dolan and Kelly Russell about their impactful work in creative protest. In the streets of Ashland, the Knitter Resisters demonstrate how even small acts of creative protest can help mend the social fabric of democracy. Join Rhonda to understand how art is not just a form of expression but a vital tool for change and resistance in turbulent times. 

In the first episode of Rogue Resistance, host Rhonda Nowak draws a bold line from history to the present, examining how executive orders have shaped—and shaken—American democracy. She kicks things off with a powerful conversation with local poet Lawson Fusao Inada, who reflects on his childhood experience in a Japanese American internment camp under Executive Order 9066. Then, Rhonda digs into today’s political flashpoints with Garrett West—constitutional law expert, Medford city councilman, and civil liberties watchdog—who breaks down Trump’s most troubling executive actions. Rounding out the episode, ORD2 Indivisible organizers Terrie Martin and Teresa Safay spotlight local resistance and why grassroots action matters now more than ever.
