Everything Everywhere Daily - Arbor Day

Every year the last Friday in April in the United States is Arbor Day. 

Arbor Day is not the sexiest holiday on the calendar. I don’t think anyone listening is getting the day off from work, and you don’t see used car dealerships offering Arbor Day sales.

Nonetheless, for over 150 years, Arbor Day has highlighted the importance of trees and has encouraged their planting, and it is something that has been adopted all over the world. 

Learn more about Arbor Day and the importance of tree planting on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

New Books in Native American Studies - Christen T. Sasaki, “Pacific Confluence: Fighting Over the Nation in Nineteenth-Century Hawai’i” (U California Press, 2022)

What if Hawai'i wasn't the 50th state? In Pacific Confluence: Fighting Over the Nation in Nineteenth-Century Hawai'i (U California Press, 2022), UCSD assistant professor Christen Sasaki argues that the years 1893-1898 marked a pivotal and understudied moment in Hawai'ian history. After the coup led by white oligarchs which overthrew Queen Liliuokalani and the Hawai'ian monarchy, the island chain became the center of international focus and competition, particularly between the empires of Japan and the United States, both of which vied for hegemony and control over Hawai'i's bountiful plantations. Questions about whiteness and race, labor, and immigration are at the center of this history, which recasts the story of Hawai'ian annexation as not an inevitable march of American expansion, but instead as a moment of contingency, which shows just how many possible branches any given historical moment can have.

Dr. Stephen R. Hausmann is an assistant professor of history at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.

What A Day - The Many Trials of Donald Trump

Writer E. Jean Carroll, who is suing Donald Trump for allegedly raping her in 1996, faced hours of cross examination Thursday – leading to a heated exchange with Trump’s lawyer, who questioned her memory and actions surrounding the alleged attack.

The Biden administration has announced plans to open migrant centers throughout Latin America in an effort to slow down the influx of migrants heading to the U.S. The announcement comes as Title 42, which border officials have used to turn away asylum-seekers on public health grounds, is set to expire on May 11th.

And in headlines: former Vice President Mike Pence testified before the federal grand jury investigating Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, legislators in Kansas voted to enact a sweeping anti-transgender bathroom bill, and a new Twitter alternative is preparing to launch.

Master of horror Stephen King told us he wouldn’t pay for a blue check, but he’s not going to fight it either—he just doesn’t really understand what’s going on. Does anyone at Twitter understand?


Guests: 

Alex Heath, deputy editor of The Verge

Jon Favreau, co-founder of Crooked Media, speechwriter for President Barack Obama

Stephen King, freelancer author
