It Could Happen Here - Executive Disorder: White House Weekly #34

The gang discuss the suspected Charlie Kirk shooter, texts between him and his roommate, and how the Trump admin is using Kirk’s assassination to attack free speech by labeling Antifa a terrorist organization and promising to target activist groups funding terrorism. We also talk about ICE killing a single father in Chicago and deportations to Ghana.

Native America Calling - Thursday, September 18, 2025 – Tribes look to modernize the traditional practice of banishment

The Gila River Indian Community in Arizona is considering a new law to banish tribal members convicted of violent crimes. A bill awaits a signature from the New York governor that aims to strengthen the Seneca Nation’s ability to enforce tribal laws, which includes removing people convicted of drug trafficking and other crimes. Those are among efforts by tribes to formalize the traditional practice of banishment as tool to combat crime, but such efforts sometimes conflict with modern legal systems. In Alaska, the Native Village of Togiak faces a legal challenge after tribal members forced a man suspected of illicit alcohol sales onto an airplane to another city. We’ll get insights from tribal leaders and Native legal experts on how banishment fits in with modern justice.

Native America Calling - Wednesday, September 17, 2025 – Free speech and social media collide

In life, Charlie Kirk espoused controversial opinions that many people consider repugnant. His violent and public death is now becoming a test for what other public figures—and ordinary citizens—are able to say without severe consequences. Dozens of people, including a Washington Post columnist and a U.S. Army colonel, are facing repercussions after speaking out about Kirk on social media. A Manitoba First Nations cabinet member is facing calls to resign after sharing a post criticizing Kirk for his views. One effort is collecting information on thousands of people for possible retribution for their comments about Kirk. We’ll explore some of the limits of social media posts Native Americans should be aware of in their personal and professional lives.

Kodee Artis (Navajo), tribal advocate, Navajo law practitioner, bladesmith, actor, and comedian
