A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Last week, Bill Maher lauded Michigan Democratic U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin on his HBO show because of her criticism of how her party appears "weak and woke" by the electorate. But other than the fact that Slotkin swears and cusses at times, what exactly is she pushing on a policy front that helps working class Michiganders and Americans? How will her "moderation" help bring people towards Democrats when she's currently supporting a cryptocurrency bill that Republicans, including President Trump, are pushing to please the Big Tech donor base? How does joining with Trump help fix that "weak" image Slotkin is crying about?

#podcast #politics #economy #Progressives #FlatTax #CorporateGreed #Michigan #Minnesota #ProgressiveTax #PaidSickLeave #LeftOfLansing Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for May 9, 2025. Michigan ranks 39th in per capita income, proving that a billion dollars in corporate subsidies, and the state's regressive flat tax, aren't working to help the working class. Pat Johnston explains why Michigan should be more like Minnesota, and reinvest in the people. But that'll mean repealing the flat tax, and replacing it with a progressive tax to make the system more fair for the working class.

Ono acted weak in the face of the Trump Regime's threats while also going after Pro-Palestinian student protesters. And sadly, Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel went along with it by charging seven of those students. Although, she dropped all charges this week. Pat also covers how MAGA is echoing Dear Leader's "sacrifice" mantra even though that message was never pushed during the election. 20:02-38:06: ProPublica's Anna Clark Interview Anna Clark from ProPublica talks about her article on how Trump & Musk have been busy gutting the funding for the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab in Michigan . The Lab provides research and solutions for dangerous algae bloom in the lakes, invasive species entering the lakes, and continued clean drinking water. The Lab's work helps all of the coastal towns that reside, and rely on, the Great Lakes! This is part of the Trump Regime's anti-science movement that was all spelled-out in The Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025." 38:07-42:43: Last Call-Republicans Attack Farmers Pat's "Last Call" covers how the extreme MAGA Michigan Republican House majority passed a bill last week that would repeal a farmer's right to use their land for large wind and solar farms. What happened to the days of Republicans fighting for property rights? And why are they fighting to block farmers from making money while helping the state's move towards becoming carbon-neutral?

The Trump Regime's proposed budget is setting-up to serve working class Michiganders with a lot of pain. Whether it's cuts to education, health care, Medicaid, clean water, or keeping homes cool and warm, The Regime is ready to perform one of the greatest disinvestments in Michigan's, and America's, working class.

#podcast #politics #Michigan #RightWing #MattHall #MaiXiong #Democrats #Progressives #Trump #MAGA #ElonMusk #Whitmer #LeftOfLansing Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for May 2, 2025! MAGA Michigan Republican House Speaker Matt Hall threw a temper-tantrum this week after Democratic State Rep. Mai Xiong criticized Hall for closing down the House so he could slobber and stargaze at his Dear Leader Trump in Michigan. Hall called Xiong "low IQ," since she had the temerity to call-out how he and his MAGA Republican collogues continue to ignore the working class in the state. When MAGA policies predictably fail, hurling middle school insults, like Dear Leader Trump does, is all MAGA Republican authoritarians have left.

Trump's tariffs are hurting the working class, but he and his regime are doubling-down. Then, Pat breaks-down Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin's new "war plans" for Democrats, and where she says Democrats should stop saying "oligarchy" when attacking Trump. Pat gives examples where he thinks Slotkin's right, and where she's wrong. 22:01-39:00: Interview w/ Paula Gardner Paula Gardner, Business Editor at Bridge Michigan, is our guest this week. Ms. Gardner unveiled a handful of articles detailing how this state's reliance on taxpayer-funded corporate subsidies aren't bringing the jobs and economic growth many promised. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer has championed these subsidies during her tenure. But because the near $1Billion in spending hasn't resulted in the jobs supporters said would happen, there seems to be bipartisan agreement that we need new solutions. Check-out Ms. Gardner's article, " WHITMER SUBSIDY RECORD: COMPANIES GET 1-BILLION DOLLARS; JOBS FALL SHORT OF PROMISES .” 39:01-46:00: Last Call-Whitmer & Trump Pat's "Last Call" is on Whitmer joining Trump during his Michigan trip this week, and where she went right and wrong on that visit. 46:01-49:16: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well ! leftoflansing.com NOTES: " Whitmer subsidy record: Companies get $1 billion; jobs fall short of promises ."

It's not too hard to figure-out why: major drops in childhood vaccination rates in the state combined with misinformation and mixed messages from the Trump Regime, and specifically from its Health & Human Services Director Robert Kennedy Jr. Pat Johnston explains why he's not so sure making measles great again in the country is a winning strategy for the people.

The weird Michigan MAGA Republican state House Rep. Matt Maddock of the 51st House District is making news again in his own warped and cruel way. Maddock announced this week that he wants to abolish the Michigan Veteran's Affairs Agency, which coincides with Dear Leader Trump and Elon Musk cutting the U.S. Veterans' Affairs office. Maddock also introduced a bill forcing Michigan's government to call The Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America," which is how MAGA Republicans believe will help the working class?

How can John James run for governor if he's too afraid to face his own constituents who are angry with how Dear Leader Trump & Republicans are gutting Social Security and Medicaid while passing massive tax breaks for the corporate donor base. And Pat isn't real enthused by Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens's U.S. Senate run, and he explains why. 20:04-44:56: Dr. Jeffrey Insko Line 5 Interview Dr. Jeffrey Insko of The Current joins Pat to discuss the Trump Regime's fast-tracking of a tunnel project designed to keep the Line 5 pipeline operational for Canadian energy company Enbridge. The 72-year old pipeline is in poor shape, and a major leak or spill could spell doom for the health of the Great Lakes and Michigan's economy. Dr. Insko explains the decades of corporate and government corruption keeping Line 5 operating, and putting Michiganders at risk. 44:57-50:13: Last Call-MAGA Wants Tax On Rich? In the "Last Call," Pat explains why some MAGA Republicans, like former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, are pushing Republicans to pass a tax on millionaires and billionaires. It's obvious that AOC * Bernie Sanders' "anti-oligarchy" tour is resonating with millions across the country. 50:14-52:13: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well ! leftoflansing.com NOTES: " Trump administration to fast-track Line 5 tunnel, calling project 'emergency .'"

A new Gallop poll shows Americans are beginning to reject Dear Leader Trump on a host of issues, including his top issue of Immigration. Ryan Cooper of The American Prospect gives reasonings as to why Americans are no longer supporting his anti-Constitutional immigration disappearance program, but also why Latino-American voters are rejecting him even though many voted for him just five months ago. And this is why Democrats should've never ceded ground on immigration rather than choosing Trump-Lite on the issue. It didn't solve the issue, nor did it give them extra votes.

Michigan State University's faculty passed a resolution calling for MSU to join a new "mutual defense compact" with other Big Ten schools to help fight back against the Trump Regime's constant attacks on higher education in Michigan, and the country.

It'll be funny, but cringeworthy, to watch Congressman John James and former state Attorney General Mike Cox try to "out-Trump" each other. Pat then explains how years of Democrats giving-up against MAGA Republicans is a major reason why we're facing the totalitarian takeover of the country by Trump & MAGA. The Trump Regime is now targeting international students at several universities and colleges in an effort to harm undocumented students, and higher education. Democrats give an inch, and Trump & MAGA will take 10 miles! 21:47-32:48: Julie Powers-Immigration Law & Justice MI Executive Director Julie Powers from Immigration Law & Justice Michigan joins the show to share her insights over the Trump Regime's attacks on international students on Michigan colleges and universities. Ms. Powers explains why Trump and his White Christian Nationalist supporters are targeting these students, and how it won't just hurt the students and higher education, but also the towns where these institutions reside. 32:49-41:00: Last Call-David Hogg Is Right In this week's "Last Call," Pat applauds Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg's announcement that he'll use his PAC to help find candidates to primary certain Democratic Party officeholders in safe-Blue seats, who've fallen asleep at the wheel.

The Trump Regime has started to new line of attack against Michigan universities and colleges: By forcing foreign students to leave via threats of deportation. The Regime is also issuing similar threats to foreign students across the country in an effort, they say, to remove those who are a risk to America. But what this is really about is pleasing the anti-immigrant and anti-science MAGA Republican base, draining universities of much-needed federal funding, and removing the free speech rights of noncitizens.
