Following the inauguration of Donald Trump last month, reactions in the U.S. ranged from jubilation to alarm—depending on one’s political leanings and level of engagement. But how is the new admin being received beyond American borders? In this episode, we flip the “local lens” outward to examine how the new administration is being viewed in this neck of the woods. Our guest is Willy Lowry, Washington correspondent for The National . He joins us to break down the regional response to the news admin. We discussed how the US’ growing reputation as an unreliable partner is pushing Middle Eastern nations to explore new alliances, the moments that have strained relations over the past decade, and whether Washington is even aware of the shifting dynamics.

One of the least discussed stories in US public education is our decision to walk away from what worked. School integration in the US peaked in 1987, coinciding with the achievement gap between Black and white students reaching its narrowest point. What began with the Supreme Court’s Brown ruling in 1954 and was picked up with Title I legislation as a part of the Great Society by Lyndon Johnson, was abandoned by Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. In the aftermath schools have resegregated to the point that a typical white student in the US now attends a school where nearly 70% of their classmates are also white, while Black and Latino students are far more likely to attend schools where a majority of students are from minority backgrounds and where poverty rates are higher. That is the entry point for today’s conversation with author Karin Chenoweth. We discussed the fluctuations in student achievement data since the inception of the NAEP in 1971, through the “learning loss” crisis of 2020. At times this conversation gets wonky and Karin’s dog also makes a guest appearance . But she really knocks it out the part with the “what would you do as Secretary of Education?” question. If you wanna do some extended reading this episode started as a conversation on Bluesky .

The war in Ukraine is a functional stalemate with the Russian death toll nearing 200k. Growth is down in the Russian economy and inflation and prices are up. Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Russia’s greatest ally in the Middle East, has fallen, and taken refuge in Moscow. In some ways, the Russian global position is very weak. However, the recent US election has the potential to help change Russian fortunes. We are joined this week by Jeff Hawn. Jeff is a doctoral candidate from the London School of Economics. His research and writing is focused on the history and politics of post-Soviet Russia. Jeff is our designated Russia expert, making his third appearance on the podcast.

Hundreds of fishermen laboring on U.S.-flagged ships in American waters face a harsh reality: wage theft, exploitative conditions, and little recourse. Cyrus Donato, one of over 140 inspectors for the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), works on the frontlines to support foreign seafarers and transport workers grappling with these injustices. The ITF is a global union federation representing nearly 20 million transport workers worldwide, and Cyrus plays a key role in addressing their challenges. He joined us to shed light on the plight of fishermen and the broader efforts to combat exploitation in the maritime industry. Cyrus is the designated ITF inspector for the Puget Sound Region.

In spite of an avalanche of outside money, Tacoma voters recently adopted a sweeping Bill of Rights for tenants that provides relocation assistance to families, in the case of steep increases in rent, and bans evictions during the winter. The organizers of that campaign, Tacoma for All , are now undertaking a follow-up campaign aimed at helping hourly wage workers. They seek to raise the minimum wage in the city and to ban abusive scheduling practices, like erratic hours and “ clopening “ shifts. Two organizers from the campaign, Zev Cook and Ty Moore, joined us to talk about their organizing efforts in the community.

Last week Tacoma lost one of its brightest lights. Matt Driscoll was a columnist for The News Tribune and the editor for the paper’s Opinion Section. But he was so much more than that. Rather than being a gatekeeper, he was an advocate for the less fortunate and less politically connected in our community. He made his column a forum for voices across the city, rather than a stale rotation of the usual suspects. He also was a frequent guest on the show, so in tribute to Matt today we are re-releasing an episode of the podcast from 2018 where Matt joined me and Representative Laurie Jinkins in my classroom, for a conversation about evictions and housing solutions for our region and beyond. I think you get a real sense of the kind of man Matt was from this conversation. His unexpected passing leaves a massive hole in the paper and in our civic culture. A Go Fund Me has been set up to support Matt’s family.
