How will Gen Z independents shape the midterms? : It's Been a Minute

Has Gen Z changed how we think about independents?It's no secret that Americans are politically divided, as faith in political parties erodes. In the past, so-called "independent" voters were likely shifting between Democrats and Republicans. But now, especially Gen-Z, are pushing in new directions, far from the center. In this episode, we explore how "independent" became a rallying cry for change on the left and the right. Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Our reporter witnesses the largest detention of West Bank activists in a decade : State of the World from NPR

In the Israeli occupied West Bank, dozens of Americans have been detained, including a politician running for Congress. Settler violence and detentions by the Israeli military have been on the rise for years in the Palestinian territory, which is occupied by Israel. But according to two Israeli lawyers, this is the largest mass detention of activists there in a decade. A team from NPR witnessed the detention of a group made up primarily of American and Israeli rabbis, activists and U.S. Democratic congressional nominee Brad Lander. They had been helping Palestinian families harvest their olives to try to prevent attacks by Israeli settlers.We hear from our reporter who witnessed the event and one of the American rabbis who was detained.
