Teaser: We get so so caught up in binaries. This or That. Or wrapped up in notions of identity – I am liberal or conservative, democrat or republican, progressive or what not? This week saw the rise of the alt-left. But what is the Alt-Left, what is the Alt fight even mean for average people everywhere? Should we even identify as Alt Anything?

 

Today’s podcast is on the Alt Movement, Which of course will cover Alt-Right its rise and what are some ramifications of this group rising to power, we will look at the phenomena of protesters identifying as alt-left. And dig into what it means to potentially identify as ALT-Anything as well as if this notion of being on that spectrum even means

Welcome back to the podcast! So this is the first week I have had back to back podcasts.

 

Got the semester off to a good start this week at my main position at Pvcc. That was really good, it has been a long week with some long days in the heat, and it appears we are in for a heat wave here in Phoenix for the next week so please think some cool thoughts for us at the Inclusive Activism Podcast. Just today got the news that former Sherriff Joe Arpiao was pardoned which was a huge blow to all Maricopa Country Residents. And at this time the DACA program is set to get a ruling on Sept. 5th I am hoping and praying that the early reports of its demise are wrong as I have a lot of people I love and care about: So in short its still a very dark time and we need some positive thoughts and prayers. Hell I could use you positivity and thoughts and prayer so if you can pass those along that would be greatly appreciated! Please remember you can email me at [email protected] or leave me a voicemail at 860-576-9393. I would love to hear your thoughts!

 

Also remember to rate and review us on iTunes, or Stitcher, or if you could please share the podcast on social media, All these things go a long way to making a significant difference for us here at the inclusive activism podcast. Also please subscribe to our podcasts on iTunes, Stitcher, or Google Play as these are great ways for me to show “proof of work to potential sponsors”. It would also go a long way in getting my producer Sara paid for her work someday too!

 

So checking in on my Activism:

The protest of Trump downtown sadly did see some violence with tear gas being used on protesters

Last Thursday I was a part of the DACA action with Aliento (Report on this)

We also donated Gatorade and Granola bars for the Trump action

 

Self Care:

Since I have returned to full time work the Mindfulness was sacrificed, and those close to me have noticed, I will get back on track next week

Lifting has still been going very strong thankfully I appreciate my new lifting partner

Cardio is mixed I keep my heart rate really high during lifting and have been doing speed work with a speed ladder on the weekend but still not always getting my 30 mins of elliptical tranining in – not sure how the heart is dealing with all that.

But I need help too – personally and professionally please send me your prayers and positive thoughts I am on the precipice of several bad and potentially good things I reall
