Terrell Jermaine Starr is a Black American journalist who spends much of his time in Ukraine. He knows the country intimately.

He also recognizes the striking parallels between the experiences of Ukrainians and Black Americans in the United States. For centuries, both groups have endured systemic violence and humiliation—sometimes overt, sometimes hidden—that have pushed them into subordinate roles within societies dominated by others.

In this episode, we explore these shared struggles and work toward fostering a deeper understanding between the two communities.

Explaining Ukraine is a podcast by UkraineWorld, an English-language media outlet about Ukraine run by Internews Ukraine. 

Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld and the president of PEN Ukraine.

We are recording this conversation during the Lviv Media Forum, in May 2025 in Lviv, the Western part of Ukraine.

How tariffs are impacting businesses and consumers in the Gunnison Valley

Today's guest is Dan Perkins, an expert on politics and current events. The topic today is from one of Dan’s commentaries titled: "I was raised to be a thinker, not a blind follower." Dan reviewed John Pavlovitz’s piece, The Beautiful Mess**, where Pavlovitz examined how the Trump election affected family relationships. He discovered that many people cut ties with family and friends who voted for Trump. On the show we discussed why It is crucial to remember that political disagreements, no matter how fervent, should not overshadow the deeper values of unity and understanding within families and communities. 

Our second guest is bestselling author and commentator Michael Medved, who discusses his book The American Miracle and its adaptation into the upcoming film The American Miracle – Our Nation is No Accident. Produced by Heroic Pictures, this powerful educational film will premiere in over 1,000 theaters nationwide from June 9 to 11, 2025.

Our second guest, portrayed as General George Washington, brings the film’s message to life by reflecting on key moments in American history, highlighting events of unexplainable success, divine timing, and what he called “the Invisible Hand.” The film captures the profound influence of faith and providence in shaping the nation's founding and identity.

Weltende ist eine musikalische Momentaufnahme unserer Zeit – klar, düster, kompromisslos.
Der Song verbindet apokalyptischen Rap mit expressionistischer Poesie und wirft den Blick mitten in die Krisen der Gegenwart: Klimakollaps, politische Extreme, Desinformation, Kontrollverlust.

Der Refrain greift das expressionistische Gedicht „Weltende“ von Jakob van Hoddis (1911) auf – prophetische Zeilen aus der Vergangenheit, die die Gegenwart erschreckend genau treffen.

Ein Song wie ein kollektiver Alarm. Keine Flucht. Kein Trost. Nur Realität.


Weltende is a musical snapshot of our time – stark, bleak, and unapologetically direct.
Blending apocalyptic rap with expressionist poetry, the track dives deep into today’s defining crises: climate collapse, political extremes, disinformation, and the slow-motion fall of normality.

The chorus quotes “Weltende” by Jakob van Hoddis (1911) – prophetic lines from the past that strike the present with unsettling precision.

A song like a collective siren. No escape. No comfort. Just truth.


Weltende

To say Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is a highly controversial figure in Israeli politics is, at best, an understatement.
Yet, his notion of a forever war against Palestinians resonates with a significant segment of Israeli public opinion, despite differences over strategy, tactics, and the prioritisation of the war’s goals.


Israelis favour forever war, just want hostages released first

Programete #56 – Doutrina Trump - Data: 11/06/2025

O professor José Nosvitz Pereira de Souza, do curso de Direito da Faculdade Dom Bosco, comenta os efeitos da doutrina Trump no comércio internacional. Ao adotar tarifas sobre importações, os EUA rompem com sua tradição de economia aberta, o que pode elevar a inflação interna e enfraquecer sua influência global. Parceiros comerciais já começam a buscar novas alianças, sinalizando um possível declínio do protagonismo americano.
