The Gist - Kenji Yoshino & David Glasgow: “Go Where the Pain Is”
DEI is facing unprecedented legal and cultural pushback. Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow, founders of NYU Law's Meltzer Center, argue it's time for a strategic shift: swap the 'E' in DEI for Equality. They join Mike to discuss their new book, How Equality Wins, explaining why mandatory diversity statements often lead to "preference falsification," the importance of supporting dissent, and why the movement must expand its tent to include the working class by simply going "where the pain is." Plus, we're awaiting Chief Justice's Facial expressions during the State of the Union. And in the spiel, why your daily anxiety has become the ultimate consumer product.

PBS News Hour - World - 4 years into Russia’s invasion, Ukrainians struggle with war’s terrible toll
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began four years ago. Europe's largest and most brutal conflict since World War II has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, with over 15,000 of them estimated to be civilians. There is little sign that the war will soon end, as beleaguered Ukrainians struggle to deal with its terrible toll. Nick Schifrin reports.

Consider This from NPR - Gavin Newsom says the Democratic party “must fight fire with fire”
Gavin Newsom is in his final year as governor of California. He’s also widely considered a potential presidential candidate for 2028—a possibility he has not ruled out—and he sees himself as a leader of Democratic opposition to President Donald Trump, often mocking his brash style on social media.
The governor sat down with NPR for an interview ahead of the release of his new memoir, Young Man in a Hurry. He talks about his early life as a kid in the San Francisco Bay Area, his strategy of simultaneously engaging with right-wing voices and ridiculing the president, and he explains why he refuses “to be a bystander to this moment.”
