Protesters have taken to the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco. They’re protesting the detention and arrest of thousands of immigrants by Donald Trump’s immigration officials. Protests have carried on for days. They’ve shut down highways. They've shouted, “No.” Trump has responded, calling in the national guard, despite objections from local state officials. It’s the first time a president has unilaterally called in the national guard in 60 years. California governor Gavin Newsom says he’s suing Trump for illegally deploying federal troops and “flaming the fires.” People have promised to resist. More protests are planned for today and the coming days. This is episode 44 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, his spoke novels. He was Steinbeck, Tolstoy, and Tolkien, all in one. His images capture the spirit of the poor and working classes. And they grip the viewer. Refusing to let your eyes peal from the picture before you. Pictures in black and white. Pictures that seem to have been painted by brush strokes, but which are as real as the camera equipment he used.Sebastião Salgado was an artist. And he was a documentarian. Capturing the plight of the downtrodden, but also their soul. Their beauty.Sebastião Salgado passed away on May 23, 2025, at the age of 81.Today, we dedicate this episode to the incredible life and work of Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado. His legacy lives on. This is episode 43 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

The Chinchorro mummies are considered the oldest mummies in the world. Thousands of years older than the Egyptian mummies. And these were not pharaohs. They were everyday folks looking to hold on to what was most dear to them: The people they loved.An embrace from the past that would last for thousands upon thousands of years. That would last until today. And, hopefully, far into the future.This is episode 41 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.
