Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - The Mission To Save The ‘Sleeping’ Language That Named Chicago

The language that gave Chicago its name had not been spoken in more than 50 years – until recently. Chicagoans of Myaamia (or Miami) heritage have been reviving their native language, Myaamiaataweenki – and even creating new words for modern times. Reset speaks with Chicago Reader journalist Paul Dailing as well as George Strack and Brad Kasberg, two descendants of the Myaamiaki, about what it takes to revive a language no one spoke, and what this work means to them.

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: Christian Nationalism And The 2024 Election

Some 67 percent of Republicans say the Bible should influence U.S. laws to some extent, compared to 32 percent of Democrats. That's according to a report this year from the Pew Research Center.

In June, Louisiana became the first state to require the Ten Commandments to be posted in classrooms. And earlier this year, Alabama's Supreme Court cited the Bible in a ruling that frozen embryos created through in-vitro fertilization are considered children.

What does this mean for U.S. politics? And what might it mean for the election come November.
