    CA to close infamous Norco prison—this abolitionist coalition wants to shut down more facilities
    Sep 22 2025
    After years of pressure from community members and a coalition of over 80 organizations, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has announced plans to close the infamous California Rehabilitation Center in Norco, CA, by the fall of 2026. But organizers say this is just the beginning—they are fighting to close more prisons in California and prevent the government from re-opening shuttered facilities for immigrant detention. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with Woods Ervin of the grassroots organization Critical Resistance about California's prison system and the growing abolitionist movement working to dismantle it.

    EXCLUSIVE: Federal whistleblowers expose how Trump’s HUD is abandoning vulnerable Americans
    Sep 22 2025
    Whistleblowers working in the federal government are going public to expose an emergency situation within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. According to their formal whistleblower complaint, under President Trump’s administration, “HUD leadership has already violated the law” and taken actions that “will result in legal violations, gross mismanagement, gross waste of funds, and present a specific danger to public health and safety.” The complaints were filed by four attorneys and staff workers at HUD'S Office of General Counsel and Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. In their first on-air appearance since going public with their allegations, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with attorneys and federal employees Paul Osadebe and Palmer Heenan about their whistleblower complaints and the “chaos” at Trump’s HUD.

    Guests:
    • Paul Osadebe is an attorney working in the federal government, a shop steward for the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) - Local 476, and a member of the Federal Unionists Network. Osadebe is one of the four employees within the Department of Housing and Urban Development who have filed formal whistleblower complaints through the office of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D - Massachusetts).
    • Palmer Heenan is an attorney working in the federal government, a rank-and-file member of AFGE - Local 476, and a member of the Federal Unionists Network. Heenan is one of the four employees within the Department of Housing and Urban Development who have filed formal whistleblower complaints through the office of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D - Massachusetts).
