Today we're joined by a show favorite, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, to discuss big fertility's increasing presence in our culture. We talk about California's new bill that redefines "fertility" to include gay couples in an effort to make insurance cover surrogacy in those cases. Naturally, there are some drastic repercussions of green-lighting a bill like this. We explain how we're misidentifying the victims, who are always the children, and why even Christian, heterosexual couples cannot let their longing for children be put above a child's well-being. We also cover why adoption is different from IVF and surrogacy and why it's so important to understand that IVF is never ethical. --- Timecodes: (01:30) Why are more people talking about surrogacy/IVF (03:50) California "redefining infertility" bill (13:13) Misidentifying victims (19:30) Infertile women (24:40) Celebrity surrogacies (30:05) Primal wound (33:30) Adoption (36:55) 'Ethical' IVF issues --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!

It is a much-discussed fact that the environmental movement cut its teeth blocking things — mines, pipelines, power plants, and what have you. It is structured around blocking things. Habituated to it.However, what we need to do today is build, build, build — new renewable energy, batteries, transmission lines, and all the rest of the infrastructure of the net-zero economy. Green groups are as often an impediment to that as they are a help. So how can the green movement help things get built? How can it organize around saying yes?Recently, the activist organization 350.org hired Jeff Ordower, a 30-year veteran organizer with the labor and queer movements, in part to help figure these questions out. As director of North America for 350, Ordower will help lead a campaign focused on utilities standing in the way of clean energy. I talked with him about organizing around building instead of blocking, the right way to go after utilities, the role green groups can play in connecting vulnerable communities with IRA money, and what it means to focus on power.

Life isn't fair. Perhaps that is why we love sports. In sports, the aspiration at least, is to even the playing field. But that endeavor in and of itself, poses many challenges. What does the inclusion of transgender athletes mean for sports? For ESPN's Katie Barnes, a journalist who covers the intersection of gender and athletics, the answers here are never simple.  Katie joins Jay to discuss the gender politics of sports at all levels of performance, as they break down in their new book, Fair Play: How Sports Shapes The Gender Debates. This conversation distills the complex and often-sensitive questions around transgender competitors, many of whom are kids who simply want to enjoy the sport they love.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A law in St. Louis banning so-called transgender care for minors can now take effect after a judge struck down a lawsuit challenging it. In a two-page order, Missouri Circuit Judge Steven Ohmer wrote that the lawsuit, which was brought by the ACLU, lacked sufficient evidence to delay the legislation: “The science and medical evidence is conflicting and unclear. Accordingly, the evidence raises more questions than answers.”  Activists claim that the science in favor of transgender “care” is settled. It's not true. Thankfully this judge was willing to say it out loud. This legislative push came as part of an investigation into the transgender clinic at St. Louis Children's Hospital. In February, a whistleblower alleged that the clinic had started transitioning more than 600 children between 2020 and 2022. In some cases, puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones were prescribed after just two one-hour visits.   In summary, the threat is real, the “science” is false, and children's lives are at stake.

Nearly a hundred climate activists rallied at the Museum Of Modern Art in NYC on September 15 to call for the removal of board chair Marie-Josée Kravis because of her and her husband's Henry Kravis's ties to the fossil fuel industry. The protest comes before the major September 17 march to End Fossil Fuels in NYC prior to the UN climate summit. Henry Kravis, whose net worth is around $7.8bn, is a co-chief executive of KKR, one of the world's five largest private equity firms. It is heavily invested in fossil fuels in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and the Middle East. KKR is behind the Coastal GasLink Pipeline being built through Wet'suwet'en territory in Canada. We start off by hearing from some of the Hereditary chiefs from Canada. We later hear among others from Roni Zahavi-Brunner of Planet over Profits and Michael Kink of Strong Economy for all. We then here again from Roni after several dozen activists occupied and shut down MOMA. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Episode 318 - Part 9 of 15 "Lost in Trans Nation" - Ch 8 - Educator's Dangerous Idea - So Important for Parents and Professionals     Order Dr. Miriam Grossman's Book on Amazon Here: https://amzn.to/3KYhTwi   Throughout our country, atrocities are taking place in doctor's offices and hospital operating rooms. Physically healthy children and adolescents are being permanently disfigured and sometimes sterilized. Those youth say they're transgender, and we—their parents, teachers, therapists, and doctors—are supposed to agree with their self-diagnosis and take a back seat as they make the most consequential decision of their lives: to alter their bodies in order to, we are told, “align” them with their minds.   Medical, educational, and government authorities advise us to support the “gender journeys” of still developing kids, including medical interventions with poor evidence of long-term improvement.   This would not be acceptable in any other field of medicine. Indeed, the treatments our medical authorities and Washington call “crucial” and “life-saving” have been banned in progressive Sweden, Finland, and Britain.   Dr. Miriam Grossman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose practice consists of trans-identified youth and their families. In Lost in Trans Nation, she implores parents to reject the advice of gender experts and politicians and trust their guts—their parental instincts—in the face of an onslaught of ideologically driven misinformation that steers them and their children toward risky decisions they may end up mourning for the rest of their lives.   The beliefs that male and female are human inventions; that the sex of a newborn is arbitrarily “assigned”; and that as a result the child requires “affirmation” through medical interventions—these ideas are divorced from reality and therefore hazardous, especially to children. The core belief—that biology can and should be denied—is a repudiation of reality and a mockery of what hard science teaches about being male and female.   Dr. Grossman believes that parents know their child best; they especially know if they have a son or daughter. But currently in our country when it comes to gender identity, everyone knows better than mom and dad. Schools enable students to live double lives—Patrick at home, Patti at school. Activists tell kids their loving homes are “unsafe” when parents voice doubts about the child's new identity. For refusing to see their son as their daughter, parents might be reported to protective services, a development that can lead to a family's destruction.   Lost in Trans Nation arms parents with the ammunition to avoid, or, if necessary, fight what many families describe as the most difficult challenge of their lives. Parents will learn what to say and how—at home, at school, and if necessary, to police when they appear at the door.   “Don't be blindsided like so many parents I know,” warns Grossman, “be proactive and get educated. Feel prepared and confident to discuss trans, nonbinary, or whatever your child brings to the dinner table.” Whether it's the “trans is as common as red hair” claim, or the “I'm not your son, I'm your daughter” proclamation, or the “do you prefer a live son or a dead daughter' threat, says Grossman, no family is immune, and every parent must be prepared.   No child is born in the wrong body, Dr. Grossman reassures us, their bodies are just fine; it's their emotional lives that need healing. Whether you're facing a gender identity battle in your home right now, or want to prevent one, you need this book to guide you and your loved ones out of the madness.

Debbie Sharnak's new book, Of Light and Struggle: Social Justice, Human Rights, and Accountability in Uruguay (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2023) is an important and vibrant history of international and local activism in response to dictatorship from 1973 to 1985. Uruguayans suffered numerous human rights abuses under the repressive military government during this period. Activists, transnational social movements, and international policymakers both worked together and clashed as they pushed against the dictatorship and navigated the country back to a democratic government. Sharnak writes about these convergences and conflicts to provide a complex history of Uruguay and of human rights. Her book shows how the history of this small country can shed new light on the larger history of Latin America and international human rights. In this episode of the podcast, Sharnak, a professor at Rowen University, discusses her book and the research that went into it. She discusses the language of human rights and how it could unite disparate groups in common cause. Yet, narrow, unifying understandings of the term often left some experiences, such those of some Afro-Uruguaians, out of larger narrative. She discusses how such unity was difficult to maintain as the dictatorship ended and democracy returned to the country.  Christine Lamberson, PhD, is a historian. Her research focuses on 20th century U.S. legal, political, and cultural history. Learn more about your ad choices.

The land swap agreement approved in January 2022 was meant to resolve the issue, but the commission has now decided to terminate it. Encroachment by development remains a significant concern for the base's viability, and discussions with the developer are ongoing to find a resolution that complies with FAA guidelines.

They plan to issue a directive to Superintendent Grant Rivera, requesting the removal of material deemed "obscene, pornographic, not age-appropriate, and without substantive historical or academic value." The directive aims to ensure content aligns with the district's educational goals and community standards. It also calls for staff training, a review process for library books, and a system for reporting potentially explicit materials. Superintendent Rivera has outlined steps to monitor content, including policy reminders and oversight of book purchases. Both actions come after the removal of controversial books from Marietta High School's library.

The designs of Dolores Gonzales (1907 - 1994) became a fashion craze throughout the 1950s and were even worn by two First Ladies. Dolores was dubbed “The Dior of the Desert” by the LA Times and her work helped define Tucson as a fashion city. Her claim to fame is popularizing the squaw dress – also known as the patio dress or fiesta dress – which incorporated techniques and details from Native American and Mexican traditional attire.   For Further Reading: Modernism Week: “Squaw” dress trend kick-started in Tucson TUCSON'S SQUAW DRESS INDUSTRY What's in a Name?: The 1940s-1950s "Squaw Dress" The squaw dress: Tucson's controversial but unique fashion history Dolores Gonzáles: la mexicana que vistió a las primeras damas de EEUU This month, we're talking about Trendsetters: Women whose vision, style and willingness to break barriers changed culture — from what we wear to how we behave.

Fifteen years after American International Group Inc. (AIG) nearly failed due to reckless financial practices, forcing the federal government to respond with a $182 billion bailout, climate protesters on September 14 rallied at the company's headquarters in Manhattan to call on them end its risky underwriting and investments in fossil fuels. We hear first from speakers at the rally, including Rick Morris Public Citizen's Climate Program followed by Alice Nascimento of NY Community for Change, and Bekah Hinojosa of South Texas Environmental Justice Network. We then have interviews with Jonathon Westin of the Climate Organizing Hub and then Rick again. The event was part of the Wave of Action leading up to the September 17 march in NYC to End Fossil Fuels

Episode 317 - Part 8 of 15 "Lost in Trans Nation" - Ch 7 - Emma or Oliver? - So Important for Parents and Professionals     Order Dr. Miriam Grossman's Book on Amazon Here: https://amzn.to/3KYhTwi   Throughout our country, atrocities are taking place in doctor's offices and hospital operating rooms. Physically healthy children and adolescents are being permanently disfigured and sometimes sterilized. Those youth say they're transgender, and we—their parents, teachers, therapists, and doctors—are supposed to agree with their self-diagnosis and take a back seat as they make the most consequential decision of their lives: to alter their bodies in order to, we are told, “align” them with their minds.   Medical, educational, and government authorities advise us to support the “gender journeys” of still developing kids, including medical interventions with poor evidence of long-term improvement.   This would not be acceptable in any other field of medicine. Indeed, the treatments our medical authorities and Washington call “crucial” and “life-saving” have been banned in progressive Sweden, Finland, and Britain.   Dr. Miriam Grossman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose practice consists of trans-identified youth and their families. In Lost in Trans Nation, she implores parents to reject the advice of gender experts and politicians and trust their guts—their parental instincts—in the face of an onslaught of ideologically driven misinformation that steers them and their children toward risky decisions they may end up mourning for the rest of their lives.   The beliefs that male and female are human inventions; that the sex of a newborn is arbitrarily “assigned”; and that as a result the child requires “affirmation” through medical interventions—these ideas are divorced from reality and therefore hazardous, especially to children. The core belief—that biology can and should be denied—is a repudiation of reality and a mockery of what hard science teaches about being male and female.   Dr. Grossman believes that parents know their child best; they especially know if they have a son or daughter. But currently in our country when it comes to gender identity, everyone knows better than mom and dad. Schools enable students to live double lives—Patrick at home, Patti at school. Activists tell kids their loving homes are “unsafe” when parents voice doubts about the child's new identity. For refusing to see their son as their daughter, parents might be reported to protective services, a development that can lead to a family's destruction.   Lost in Trans Nation arms parents with the ammunition to avoid, or, if necessary, fight what many families describe as the most difficult challenge of their lives. Parents will learn what to say and how—at home, at school, and if necessary, to police when they appear at the door.   “Don't be blindsided like so many parents I know,” warns Grossman, “be proactive and get educated. Feel prepared and confident to discuss trans, nonbinary, or whatever your child brings to the dinner table.” Whether it's the “trans is as common as red hair” claim, or the “I'm not your son, I'm your daughter” proclamation, or the “do you prefer a live son or a dead daughter' threat, says Grossman, no family is immune, and every parent must be prepared.   No child is born in the wrong body, Dr. Grossman reassures us, their bodies are just fine; it's their emotional lives that need healing. Whether you're facing a gender identity battle in your home right now, or want to prevent one, you need this book to guide you and your loved ones out of the madness.

Donna Summer (1948 - 2012) was a musician who provided the soundtrack for America's disco era.

Those with Holy Spirit discernment recognize all the warnings, as we witness every event that unfolds in the earth through the lens of His Prophetic Word of Truth. And with each new day, as prophetic precursors continue to converge, it becomes more and more evident that there is not much more time left before all that the Lord God has promised will come to pass, reaches its final fulfillment.We know by His Word, that after the Rapture of His True Church, the Tribulation Period will begin, and the Man of Lawlessness – also known as the Antichrist – will deceive with controlling tyranny the people of earth who have been left behind because they would not receive the Love of the Truth so as to be Saved.His right hand man will be the False Prophet. And this agent of darkness will serve the Antichrist by heading up a “One World Religion” that will be made to order to give this tyrannical leader worship and loyalty.In order to see how this all fits into the Alien Deception, we will take a penetrating look into the Vatican's stand on this matter with special emphasis on Pope Francis and his credentials that support him as a possible candidate for the role of the False Prophet and a major player in the “Alien Deception” that is already captivating the people of earth.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Through the efforts of Lucifer by way of this demonic agenda, he has created many false ways that provide with them a false Christ, with the people who have been deceived and captivated by these impostering counterfeits, not realizing that the Christ they are believing in, and worshipping, is really Lucifer. Each false way, and false Christ this enemy of God has orchestrated has been leading up to the melding of all demonic imposters into the Cosmic Christ who will manifest into the persona of the final Man of Lawlessness – The Antichrist.It will be through this tyrannical agent of darkness that Lucifer will finally gain the world's worship he has longed for – but not for long. Because in Isaiah 14:15 his final outcome is prophesied:“Nevertheless, you will be thrust down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit.”Lucifer - a.k.a - Satan, will be thrown into the Lake of Fire at the end of the Millennial Reign of Lord Jesus, the true and only Christ. And he will never rob, kill, or destroy again.But until we reach that glorious moment in time when Eternity is launched in the new Heavens and new earth, the battle over souls rages on; and we, as God's Holy Remnant are being alerted to contend even more earnestly for the true Faith that reveals the One Who alone is the Truth – and the Way – and the Life - Yeshua Jesus – the Living Word – and Great I AM!So, come with me as we expose, contend, and shine the Light of God's Truth!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Barbara Heinzen and Sara Pruiksma, two activists with the Clean Air Coalition of Greater Ravena-Coeyman, were arrested by the Coeymans police in June 2023 for allegedly trespassing on the property owned by Carver Laraway. In reality, they had been walking along the right on way on the side of a highway to see what plants had been impacted by the clearcutting of 25 acres by Carver Company, which owns the Port of Coeymans and recently took control of the Coeymans Town government. Local activists have fought the company over various issues, such as importing tires at the Port to burn at the LaFarge Cement Plant. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

FIRST SLOVAK PRIDE, 29min,. Slovakia Directed by Roman Stranai What is PRIDE? How it came about in Slovakia? Was the 2010 PRIDE parade in Bratislava the first one in Slovakia? Activists from the 2010 PRIDE team as well as Hana Fabry, Jaroslav Gyurik, which where present in queer activism in the early 90s talk about important events which led to the creation of the first PRIDE parade in Slovakia. https://www.romanstranai.com/project/prvy-slovensky-pride Get to know the filmmaker: I shoot and document Pride parades in Slovakia since 2013 and almost every year I shoot and edit a short video for the Pride festival. For some time I played with the idea of creating something more meaningful than just simple edits of the Pride parades to music, so when Richard Fekete, one of the organizers of the first Pride in Slovakia came to me with an idea of interviewing the team behind the first one in Slovakia in 2010, it sparked in me the need to learn more about the history of queer activism in the country. When I eventually persuaded the activists which were present in creation of queer activism in the early 90s, it was a great opportunity to merge the history of the queer movement with the creation of the first Pride and subsequent Prides using my own footage I gathered over the years.

Well, the blue pill means you are content to live in the matrix. The red pill means you are awake to reaity, the good, bad and ugly. The black pill means you are awake to reality and have no hope. The white pill means you have hope in spite of the way things look at the minute. If you like this format, let us know! If you don't...well, I guess let us know that, too.
