My guest today is Michelle Arevalo-Carpenter, Co-Founder of IMPAQTO and General Partner at IMPAQTO Capital. Michelle is a human rights lawyer by training, a fund builder by calling, and one of the most compelling system-reimaginers I've ever had on the show.Michelle's journey has taken her from a small apartment in Quito to the halls of Oxford and the UN — and back again. What she learned along the way is that real change doesn't come from reports or elite institutions. It comes from being close to the problem — and the people.Back in Quito, Michelle started where many great entrepreneurial stories begin — with no office, no plan, just an instinct that something better could exist. Over a hundred coffees with local founders, she kept hearing the same themes: isolation, lack of support, funding that didn't fit.In response, she created IMPAQTO, Ecuador's first coworking space for social ventures, not because she had a real estate vision, but because people needed a place to belong. “They weren't paying for square meters,” she said. “They were paying to not be alone.”From there, IMPAQTO grew — into an accelerator, a research platform, a voice in policy. But the biggest problem persisted: no capital. Or rather, the wrong kind of capital.Local businesses needed $10K–$500K. They didn't want to sell equity. They wanted to grow on their own terms. Too big for microfinance, too small for venture. “That's the missing middle,” Michelle said. “That's where we live.”So in 2021, she launched IMPAQTO Capital, a revenue-based investment fund designed not to chase unicorns but to nourish sustainable growth. Michelle described it not as alternative capital, but as capital that's appropriate for the context they're operating in.Rather than chasing foreign LPs, her team went local. They raised over half their first close from Ecuadorian and Andean-region families — people with lived experience inside the very systems the fund aims to change. “Our investors aren't impact tourists,” she said. “They're system insiders.”What Michelle is building isn't just a capital vehicle. It's an ecosystem intervention — a cultural shift that treats belonging as a precondition for growth, and care as critical infrastructure. She's also a co-founder of CLIIQ, a regional research and advocacy platform focused on unlocking catalytic capital for women-led businesses.At IMPAQTO Capital, every deal is evaluated not just on returns, but on whether it preserves the dignity and agency of the founder. Every exit includes a “cap party” — a ritual of closure and celebration that says: You did it. You paid us back. We're done. And we're proud.There's a lot to learn from Michelle. About capital. About leading with trust and care. About staying rooted in a place and still seeing the whole system.But mostly, about how change happens — not from the top down, but from the inside out. Slowly. With proximity. And with people who never forgot where they started.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:IMPAQTO Capital websiteIMPAQTO Ecosystem BuilderMichelle Arevalo-Carpenter websiteMichelle Arevalo-Carpenter LinkedIn

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 214-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,341 on turnover of 5.5-billion N-T. The main board gained ground on Tuesday despite large-cap semiconductor stocks losing some early gains amid ongoing investor concerns over the U-S' tariff policies. Market watchers say although the index staged a technical rebound from Monday's downturn, investors remain cautious about the U-S introducing possible tariffs on semiconductors. Guatemala president to be in Taiwan Wednesday before heading to Japan Guatemala's President Bernardo Arevalo is visiting Taiwan today. It is his first visit to Taiwan since taking office in 2024 and the trip is part of an Asian tour that will also take him to Japan. Arevalo has said the trip to Taiwan is aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and attracting foreign investment, and he will be meeting with President Lai Ching-te. The Guatemalan president is being accompanied (陪伴) during his visit by the country's economics and foreign ministers as well as his wife. Digital ministry to order social media firms to publish transparency reports Digital Minister Huang Yen-nan says Meta, LINE, TikTok and Google will be required to publish transparency (透明性，公開處理) reports before the end of the year as part of government-led efforts to combat fraud. According to Huang, the move means the four companies will be subject to formal regulatory supervision. Huang says the companies submitted fraud prevention plans in May. The transparency reports are part of the Fraud Crime Hazard Prevention Act, which took effect at the end of July of last year. It means that social media companies must verify the identities of advertisers and sponsors, create fraud prevention plans, and remove any fraudulent advertisements within a set timeframe after receiving a notification from authorities. Family of flamethrower attack suspect detained The family of the man accused of carrying out an "antisemitic attack" with a makeshift (暫時代替，臨時湊合) flamethrower in the US state of Colorado has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem confirmed the news on Tuesday. Nick Harper reports from Washington. Brazil Affirmative Action Law Signed Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has signed a new law to expand the country's affirmative action policies. The law signed on Tuesday increases the quota for government jobs reserved for Blacks from 20% to 30% and adds Indigenous people and descendants of Afro-Brazilian enslaved people to the group of beneficiaries. The changes apply to permanent (長久的，永久的) and public employment positions across Brazil's federal administration, agencies, public foundations, public companies and mixed-capital companies run by the government. As approved by Congress, the quota will be revised in 2035. Brazil's government said 55% of the country's population is made up of Black or mixed-race people. It added that more than 70% of Brazilians living below the poverty line are also Black or mixed race, while only 1% of people from those ethnicities are in leadership positions in the private sector. That was the I.C.R.T.

Ce mercredi (19 mars 2025), la colère a grondé dans les hauteurs de Port-au-Prince. Excédés par l'insécurité grandissante et l'inaction des autorités en place, des milliers de citoyens venus de Canapé-Vert, Pacot et Debussy, des quartiers qui subissent les assauts des gangs, ont investi les rues, bravant la peur pour exiger des réponses. « Les bandits m'empêchent de vivre dans mon propre pays. Je ne peux pas l'accepter. Qu'ils viennent me tirer dessus là, dans la rue. Mais je n'accepterai pas de mourir chez moi comme un lâche », estime ce jeune Haïtien rencontré par Peterson Luxama à Port-au-Prince.Frustrés, les manifestants ont scandé des slogans dénonçant l'impuissance du gouvernement face à la terreur imposée par les gangs.Ces manifestants se disent prêts à se battre pour retrouver le droit de vivre en sécurité dans une capitale, dont la chute parait de plus en plus probable. « Ils veulent nous chasser du pays. Mais nous, nous n'avons nulle part où aller. Nous n'avons ni mère, ni père, ni personne à l'étranger sur qui compter. Notre seul refuge, c'est notre pays, et nous n'acceptons de le livrer aux gangs », assène cet autre manifestant.La foule a progressé pour atteindre les lieux de pouvoir mais ils ont buté sur un grand dispositif de sécurité. Ils ont été accueillis par des tirs en l'air et des gaz lacrymogènes : les policiers ont répondu à la détresse populaire par la force. Les forces de l'ordre semblent plus prompts à étouffer les revendications qu'à combattre l'insécurité qui gangrène la capitale.Pour Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste, « les Haïtiens jusqu'à présents subissaient et ne se plaignaient pas, mais hier c'était la foule des grands jours. » Les quartiers concernés par ces rassemblements ce mercredi « sont les derniers de Port-au-Prince où les gangs n'ont pas encore pénétrés ». Pour l'éditorialiste, il s'agit d'un « sursaut qui s'adresse à la fois aux forces de l'ordre pour leur apporter du soutien mais surtout pour déplorer le fait que les autorités n'ont même pas un mot pour ce qu'il se passe dans la région métropolitaine depuis quelques jours ».Frantz Duval nous parle également de la compagnie Aruba Airlines qui a décidé d'annuler les vols réguliers qui étaient prévus, à partir de mardi prochain (25 mars 2025), entre Port-au-Prince et Miami. 2 mois après son arrivée à la Maison Blanche, Donald Trump est il une menace pour la démocratie ? L'heure d'un premier bilan a déjà sonné : en deux mois de présidence, le président américain qui gouverne par décrets a déjà fait beaucoup d'annonces, pris beaucoup de décisions, souvent contestées et la question se pose : Donald Trump est-il une menace pour la démocratie ? C'est une question qui revient de plus, aux États-Unis mais aussi ailleurs dans le monde. Achim Lippold s'est penché sur la question et estime que rien ne semble freiner Donald Trump. Le président américain qui gouverne agit à un rythme effréné en contournant les institutions et en remettant en cause l'état de droit. Le président américain passe en force même devant les magistrats qui contestent certaines de ses décisions. Pour preuve, le bras de fer qu'il a engagé avec un juge qui lui a ordonné de ne pas expulser plus de 200 Vénézuéliens, membres présumés d'un gang, vers le Salvador.Donald Trump qui effectue également une véritable purge dans l'administration avec des milliers de fonctionnaires licenciés, des agences fédérales fermées, même celles censées être indépendantes.Dans le «Project 2025», un programme ultra-conservateur de 900 pages conçu par ses proches en 2023,on trouvait déjà l'idée de démanteler l'administration fédérale et de remplacer les fonctionnaires par des personnes loyales à Donald Trump. Le Project 2025 propose aussi de s'attaquer à la culture «woke» et de bannir les personnes transgenres de l'armée. Une mesure que Donald Trump a déjà prise, bien que suspendue par la justice.Il s'attaque aussi à un autre pilier de la démocratie : la presse.Le président américain a licencié une grande partie des journalistes de Voice of America, une radio publique créée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour promouvoir la démocratie. Il accuse CNN de «couverture illégale» et limite l'accès de l'agence de presse AP à la Maison Blanche.Une chose est sûre : rien ne semble l'arrêter dans sa volonté de tester les limites de la démocratie. Au Congrès, sa majorité républicaine est docile. Quant aux démocrates, ils sont inaudibles. Reste la justice et la société civile. Mais seront-elles assez fortes pour freiner le virage autoritaire du président américain ? Floride : le gouverneur de Santis « plus MAGA que Trump »El Pais parle d'un soutien du président américain, le gouverneur de la Floride, Ron DeSantis quis'efforce à rendre la Floride «plus MAGA que Trump», titre le journal.Pour preuve, ce dernier a créé son propre Département d'État pour l'efficacité gouvernementale « inspiré et calqué sur le DOGE dirigé par Elon Musk ».Le gouverneur de Floride a aussi approuvé une loi très dure ciblant les immigrants illégaux qui a fait grincer des dents même côté républicains et dans un élan populiste, a proposé de supprimer l'impôt foncier ce qui le met dans la droite ligne du locataire de la Maison Blanche.Ron DeSantis a toujours été comme « emprisonné dans l'ombre de Donald Trump », estime El Pais. Sa mesure la plus spectaculaire restant celle contre l'immigration, la nouvelle législation alourdit les peines pour tous les crimes commis par les immigrants illégaux, y compris la peine de mort pour les délinquants de premier degré, et crée un nouveau délit : l'entrée illégale sur le territoire américain. Une législation jugée inconstitutionnelle.Certaines villes de Floride comme South Miami se demandent si elles doivent se plier à cette politique ultra répressive ou résister explique le Miami Herald, au risque de voir leurs subventions fédérales fondre comme neige au soleil. Salvador : une vidéo des prisonniers Vénézuéliens vue 39 millions de fois en 3 joursLe New York Times diffuse dans son édition du jour une vidéo de propagande du Salvador, où les 238 Vénézuéliens expulsés des États-Unis vers le pays ont les mains et les pieds entravés par des chaînes. Ils sont extirpés de l'avion qui les emmène au Salvador, et conduit à bord de véhicules blindés au Cecot, la prison de haute sécurité que le gouvernement du président Bukele a construite pour incarcérer les membres de gangs.On les tire par les cheveux, puis on leur rase le crâne avant qu'ils ne soient conduits tête baissée en cellule par des hommes encagoulés. Ces migrants sont accusés par le président Trump de faire partie du gang Tren de Aragua, mais certaines familles de détenus ont démenti ces informations.La vidéo de 3 minutes a été vue 39 millions de fois en 3 jours révèle le NY Times, et ce procédé n'est pas nouveau. Le président Bukele, qui est un ancien publicitaire, a déjà eu recours à ce type de vidéos pour mettre en avant sa politique répressive contre les gangs. On y voit des mises en scènes humiliantes et déshumanisantes lors d'arrestations ou d'emprisonnements. Pour preuve, cette autre vidéo de 2023 des autorités de Salvador, que diffuse le journal, et qui montre des prisonniers alignés, torse nu et accroupis. La caméra fait un travelling au-dessus d'eux, on aperçoit leurs têtes rasées et leurs tatouages, ils se ressemblent tous, comme s'ils n'avaient plus de statut, comme s'ils n'étaient plus des êtres humains. Bolivie : inflation, pénurie de dollars et de carburant provoquent la colère de la population. Des manifestations ont eu lieu ce mercredi (19 mars 2025) à La Paz, contre la crise économique en Bolivie. «Le gouvernement a déjà pris des mesures mais jusqu'à présent, il n'y a eu aucune amélioration, c'est presque une blague. Nous, ce qu'on demande, c'est de vraies solutions», estime ce manifestant rencontré par Nils Sabin. Son reportage est à écouter dans son intégralité dans la version audio de ce podcast. Guatemala : le président Arevalo suspend l'assurance obligatoire pour les véhicules à moteurAu Guatemala, après deux jours de manifestations violentes, le président Bernardo Arevalo a cédé aux demandes des opposants àun décret obligeant les conducteurs de véhicules à moteur à souscrire une assurance responsabilité civile. Les accidents de la route sont la principale cause de décès dans le pays, bien au-dessus de la criminalité. En février, un accident d'autocar a fait 54 morts. La Prensa Libre reprend l'allocution du président guatémaltèque où il dit comprendre le malaise de la population. Les opposants au texte ont mis en avant la situation économique du pays où la pauvreté frappe 60 % de la population.  L'actualité des outre-merOdan Ajiali de la 1ère revient sur le déménagement d'une partie des habitants d'un village de Martinique en raison de l'érosion et de la montée du niveau de la mer.

In this podcast episode WOLA's Central America Director, Ana María Méndez Dardón, reflects on Bernardo Arevalo's first year in office, as January 14, 2025 marks one year since the inauguration that followed his unexpected election. As we discussed with Ana María in a podcast episode shortly after his inauguration, Bernardo Arevalo and his Semilla party had a very difficult time reaching inauguration day, notably due to active obstruction from Guatemala's traditional, ruling elites, including the Attorney General's Office. While citizen mobilization, largely indigenous groups' mobilization, made it possible for Arevalo to democratically take office, the difficulties he and his party faced back then have remained, making it difficult to govern and, in turn, negatively affecting his popularity due to unmet expectations. Three prominent obstacles that the Arevalo administration will continue to face from his first year to his second, Ana María highlights, are the office of the Attorney General and the powerful presence of other known corrupt actors within the government; the instability of his cabinet paired with a small presence of his party in Congress; and the powerful private sector's ties to corrupt elite groups. The Attorney General's office has played an active role in blocking access to justice and promoting the persecution and criminalization of those who have been key to anti-corruption and human rights efforts, while maintaining the threat of forcibly removing Arevalo from office. Although Attorney General Consuelo Porras was sanctioned by the United States, along with 42 other countries, for significant corruption, Arevalo has determined that removing her would violate constitutional norms. (Her term ends in May 2026.) Ana María also notes alliances that Porras has cultivated with members of the U.S. Republican Party.  Despite the obstacles, Ana María notes possibilities for growth, including the launch of an alternative business association, a new national anti-extortion effort, and negotiation efforts with Congress. Ana María also touches on the U.S.-Guatemala bilateral relationship during the Biden administration and expectations for the Trump-Arevalo relationship. During the Biden administration, it was evident that security and economic issues were top priorities, with notable bilateral engagement including multi-sectoral and multi-departmental efforts led by the Office of the Vice President to address the root causes of migration. It is uncertain whether the Trump administration will continue these efforts, and while some Republicans regard Arevalo as a strong democratic ally, the migration issue, particularly the incoming Trump administration's plans to deter and deport migrants, may be the topline item in the bilateral relationship. To follow Guatemalan developments, Ana María recommends independent media including Plaza Pública, Con Criterio, and Prensa Comunitaria.

Featuring an epilogue to the sermon series "The Parables," the Parable of the Dishonest Manager leads us to consider how important family is, even when we don't see eye-to-eye.

Aux États-Unis, Donald Trump affirme qu'il révoquera le statut de protection temporaire des migrants haïtiens dans la ville de Springfield s'il est élu. Rappelons que, depuis des semaines, Donald Trump et les républicains reprennent de fausses rumeurs selon lesquelles les migrants haïtiens de Springfield, dans l'Ohio, mangent les animaux domestiques de leurs voisins. « Springfield est un si bel endroit, vous avez vu ce qui lui est arrivé ? Ils sont dépassés. On ne peut pas faire ça aux gens. Il faut les faire partir », affirmait ce jeudi (3 octobre 2024) Donald Trump. Le Nouvelliste comme Gazette Haïti reprennent l'article de Jacqueline Charles dans le Miami Herald qui rappelle que, depuis des semaines, Springfield est un des thèmes de campagne les plus importants du candidat républicain et de son colistier JD Vance, « répandant des mensonges sur des Haïtiens mangeant les animaux familiers de leurs voisins ». Et ils continuent, malgré les critiques, note Politico, même si « selon certains des alliés de Donald Trump, cela a fait perdre de vue certains de ses objectifs à sa campagne ». Parler d'annuler le statut de protection temporaire des Haïtiens, ce n'est pas une première pour le candidat, rappelle le Miami Herald : à l'époque de sa présidence, le département de la sécurité intérieure l'avait déjà annoncé, ce qui avait entraîné des poursuites. Et au final, la décision avait été bloquée en justice. Gazette Haïti note que « les conditions en Haïti sont bien pires aujourd'hui qu'en 2017 ou même en 2010, lorsque le président Obama avait désigné Haïti pour le TPS après le tremblement de terre ». Le bas de la ville de Port-au Prince, une zone dévastéeUne fois par mois, Ayibopost vient parler d'un de ses articles marquant dans le Journal d'Haïti et des Amériques. Le journaliste Junior Legrand raconte son reportage dans le bas de la ville de Port-au-Prince, où il a pu mesurer l'étendue des violences commises par les gangs. Plusieurs facultés ont été saccagées. L'Institut de formation des sages-femmes a été également très touché, plusieurs responsables ont expliqué au journaliste que les dégâts étaient estimés à plusieurs milliers de dollars, et des milliers de livres, dont ont besoin les étudiants, ont disparu. La situation est telle que les directeurs d'établissements ne peuvent pas aller sur place faire un inventaire précis des dégâts. L'article est à retrouver sur le site Ayibopost.com. Des troupes du Salvador bientôt en HaïtiUn accord a été signé ce jeudi (3 octobre 2024) entre Haïti et le Salvador, qui prévoit le déploiement d'un contingent médical pour fournir des soins de santé aux officiers de la force multinationale, explique Le Nouvelliste. Selon une source du quotidien, ce contingent, essentiellement médical donc, doit arriver « sous peu », avec 80 officiers. Mais certains patrouilleront dans les rues et réaliseront des surveillances aériennes Au Guatemala, 13 nouveaux juges pour la Cour suprêmeL'élection par la Congrès a eu lieu ce jeudi (3 octobre). Elle était importante, car le président du pays Arevalo accuse la Cour d'avoir été, pendant des années, « entre les mains des mafias » et « d'intérêts corrompus ». Sachant qu'elle a soutenu la procureure générale qui a tenté, par tous les moyens, d'abord d'empêcher l'accession à la présidence de Bernardo Arevalo. Le choix fait par le Congrès était donc vu comme extrêmement importante dans le cadre de la lutte contre la corruption lancée par Bernardo Arevalo. Mais « c'est un échec », annonce La Hora. Prensa Comunitaria note trois magistrats réélus sont accusés de manipulation du processus de renouvellement de cours en 2019. Et deux nouvelles magistrates sont liées aux familles de deux personnes accusées dans des affaires datant de 2014 et 2020. Au Brésil, Lula à la peine pour les municipalesAu Brésil, le premier tour des élections municipales a lieu ce dimanche (6 octobre 2024).Il y a quatre ans, le parti des travailleurs de Lula avait essuyé un revers important, et cette fois, explique Achim Lippold, cela ne se présente pas mieux : même dans les grandes villes du Nordeste du Brésil, le bastion électoral du PT, le parti de Lula est devancé par ses concurrents. Dans certains cas, le parti tente donc des alliances, se contentant d'appuyer des candidats d'autres partis, en espérant qu'ils le soutiendront lors de la prochaine élection présidentielle. Il y a même des villes où le PT soutient le même candidat que le PL, la formation de l'ancien président d'extrême droite Jair Bolsonaro.À noter aussi l'apparition d'une nouvelle figure, un richissime coach de 37 ans, Pablo Marçal, candidat surprise à la très convoitée mairie de Sao Paulo : phrases choc, misogynes et mensongères, vidéos virales, il ne cesse de monter dans les sondages, même s'il est donné largement perdant au second tour. Son succès est, en tous cas, un indicateur, explique Achim Lippold, que l'électorat de droite commence à penser à une alternative à Jair Bolsonaro pour la présidentielle de 2026 – l'ancien président a été déclaré inéligible. Le journal de La Première Les négociations en Guadeloupe ont enfin repris entre les syndicats et EDF.

Las narrativas son parte esencial de un gobierno, Bukele es un experto en contar historias en política pero ¿Ahora quién o qué será el enemigo al cuál tendrá que erradicar? Por otro lado Bernardo Arévalo al parecer tiene una crisis de comunicación o quizá es parte de la estrategia de comunicación política. De lo que sí estamos seguros es que confía en que las instituciones funcionen en Guatemala. Luis Reyes conversa con el politólogo Gabriel Reyes y con el periodista Pavel Vega.

In this episode, Mariah welcomes Caro Arevalo, a Peruvian visual artist, to discuss her journey, art, and connection with nature. Caro shares her unique process of creating art inspired by the microscopic world, the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom, and her reflections on intertwining spirituality and science. The conversation delves into the significance of indigenous wisdom, reciprocity, and the role of art and creativity in fostering a deeper relationship with nature and humanity. Caro Aravelo is a Peruvian visual artist based in Woodstock, NY. Her artwork is embodied in exploring the plant and fungi kingdoms as seen with our naked eyes and through the microscopes; the taxonomy and physicality of living beings as well as the invisible yet powerful spirit and consciousness each of them carries. Her work starts by doing research in nature, followed by capturing it under microscopes and then starting to work on paintings that express these microscopic observations as well as what has been recorded in the field. Her family comes from the jungle in Peru and through her Amazonian heritage, Caro embraces the notion that we are all connected, the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom, and embracing our unity with nature in our daily lives. Through her paintings and videos she invites us to cultivate more love towards ourselves and our planet in order to stay creative, curious and aligned with our purpose in the world.   In This Episode: Caro Arevalo | www.carolina-arevalo.com Discount code "fourvisions" |  @caro.arevalo | Youtube cafeinacoli Mariah Gannessa | @mariahgannessa   Today's episode is sponsored by Clareia Das Aguas (FVFAMILY for 10%).  Luminous Channeled Creations from the Garden. ✨

¿Por qué Arevalo destituyó a la ministra de Comunicaciones?

Gonzalez-Arevalo v. Garland

After relentless attempts to block his inauguration and a nine-hour delay, Bernardo Arévalo, who ran for Guatemala's presidency on an anti-corruption platform, was sworn into office minutes after midnight on January 14. In this highly educational episode, WOLA Director for Central America Ana María Méndez Dardón is joined by WOLA Senior Fellow Jo-Marie Burt. Both were in Guatemala witnessing the high-tension event that was Arévalo's inauguration. They cover the frustration, excitement, and symbolism that characterized the day, while also diving into a host of topics surrounding the state of Guatemala's democracy. They assess the main threats to Arevalo's leadership and the goals of his party, Movimiento Semilla, particularly those related to addressing corruption and impunity. Ana Maria and Jo-Marie touch on the distinct roles of Guatemalan indigenous communities, the United States, and the private sector. They describe the hope that Arevalo represents for the Guatemalan people in terms of security, justice, and the rule of law, while identifying the harsh realities of deeply embedded corruption a recalcitrant high court and attorney general. Read Ana María's January 9 commentary, Ushering in a New Period: Bernardo Arévalo's Opportunities and Challenges to Restoring Democracy in Guatemala, for a readable, in-depth analysis of these topics.

In Guatemala, Bernardo Arevalo was elected president after promising to fight the corruption plaguing the nation. Opposition lawmakers delayed his inauguration for months, but ultimately Arevalo prevailed. KCSB's Mario Fuentes-Godinez has the story.

Guatemala's new president Bernardo Arévalo was inaugurated on January 14. But it did not come off without a hitch. Outgoing opposition lawmakers did their best to try to stymie the swearing-in of Arévalo and some of his party members. Arévalo's supporters rallied in Guatemala City. As we looked at in Episode 2, Bernardo Arévalo is the son of Guatemala's first democratic leader Juan José Arévalo, who ushered in the Guatemalan Spring. Bernardo Arévalo has promised to lift Guatemala once again, but… even after winning the election, he faced constant legal maneuvers, led by the attorney general, that aimed to overturn the results and block his inauguration.In this update to our reporting on Guatemala, host Michael Fox speaks with political scientist Jo-Marie Burt. She was on the ground in Guatemala City for Arévalo's inauguration. In this update, she takes us there, and looks at what it means for Arévalo's incoming government.Under the Shadow is a new investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, to tell the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. In each episode, host Michael Fox takes us to a location where something historic happened — a landmark of revolutionary struggle or foreign intervention. Today, it might look like a random street corner, a church, a mall, a monument or a museum. But every place he takes us was once the site of history-making events that shook countries, impacted lives, and left deep marks on the world.Hosted by Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.Guests: Jo-Marie BurtEdited by Heather Gies and Maximillian Alvarez.Sound design by Gustavo Türck.Theme music by Monte Perdido.

In the months since Bernardo Arevalo's upset victory in Guatemala's presidential elections, a small elite often referred as “the pact of the corrupt,” has tried to derail the president-elect from taking office. In response, the United States imposed visa restrictions on nearly 300 Guatemalan congressmen and business leaders, while the Organization of American States, other international organizations and civil society raised mounting cries to respect the outcome of the election. For the time being, their tireless efforts appear to have paid off, with President Arrevalo taking office on January 14th, but only after a last-ditch effort by members in congress to block him.  In this episode, Christopher Hernandez-Roy sits down with Ambassador Frank O. Mora, U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of American States. Together, they shine a spotlight on the efforts of Guatemalan civil society, the OAS and the U.S. to defend democracy from efforts to overturn electoral results. They also look ahead to upcoming elections in the hemisphere, and analyze the role of the United States and OAS in safeguarding election integrity, and resisting democratic backsliding.

Attribution: Palestinian News & Information Agency (Wafa) in contract with APAimagesRalph welcomes Josh Paul, the State Department official who resigned in protest over the Biden Administration's policy of unconditional arms transfers to Israel in the response to the attacks of October 7th. Then, investigative reporter, James Bamford joins us to discuss his deep dive into how the Israeli government has recruited Americans as foreign agents to troll, dox, and blacklist college students and professors who dare to criticize Israeli policies.Josh Paul served 11 years in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs at the US Department of State, before his resignation on October 17, 2023. Mr. Paul previously worked on security sector reform in both Iraq and the West Bank, with additional roles in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, US Army Staff, and as a congressional staffer.I have spoken with a number of members of Congress in the last few months and—even for those who haven't publicly called for a ceasefire—many are willing to acknowledge behind closed doors that yes, actually, they do believe that Israelis are committing war crimes, but they will not say it publicly. And that just seems to me such a moral abdication of the purposes for which you were elected. If you know something to be a fact, if you know the U.S. to be complicit in facilitating war crimes, but are unwilling to say it because you are afraid of how your donors might react or how your next election might go, why are you even in Congress?Josh PaulIt is interesting that the United States places control of arms transfers and security assistance within the State Department. That is a different model than most of our allies follow… And there is an advantage to putting them in the State Department, so that they can be considered as tools of foreign policy along with other diplomatic tools such as economic assistance, such as of course diplomatic engagement. So there is an advantage there, but of course there is also inherently by doing so a militarization of foreign policy. Particularly when we look at the massive amount of funding that is provided for military assistance. And of course, the way that that providing that assistance then links us to the actions of our partners, whether we want to be complicit in those actions or not.Josh PaulIt's been said that in the last three months, the pro-Palestinian people in the United States have controlled the streets, but the pro-Netanyahu people in the United States have controlled the suites in Congress and the Executive branch.Ralph NaderJames Bamford is a best-selling author, Emmy-nominated filmmaker for PBS, award-winning investigative producer for ABC News, and winner of the National Magazine Award for Reporting for his writing in Rolling Stone on the war in Iraq. He is the author of several books, including Spyfail: Foreign Spies, Moles, Saboteurs, and the Collapse of America's Counterintelligence.I think some of these (American) groups should be arrested for being agents of a foreign government. I mean, if you're an American and you're contributing money and support to a clandestine foreign operation or clandestine foreign agency of a foreign government, then that's pretty much the definition of being an agent of a foreign government.James Bamford[People] get put on this blacklist—the Canary Mission list—and their job opportunities are extremely limited. Because if anybody goes for a job and their employer looks on the internet, one of the first things they'll see is that their name is on this blacklist where they're called a variety of names basically for doing something that's basically honorable.James BamfordIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis* On Tuesday, Senator Bernie Sanders forced a vote on Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act, which, if passed, could have resulted in the United States cutting off military aid to Israel, the Intercept reports. While this attempt failed by a wide margin - 72-11 – it did win the support of Senators Laphonza Butler of California, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, and Peter Welch of Vermont, along with Rand Paul the lone Republican to back the effort. However, as Andrew O'Neil, policy director for Indivisible, put it “It's frankly historic that this vote took place at all…The number of senators willing to take a vote like this even weeks ago, on the face of it, would have been zero.”* 384 leaders from around the globe, led by Representative Ilhan Omar and German politician Sevim Dağdelen, have signed a letter calling for “an immediate, multilateral ceasefire in Israel and Palestine, the release of all the remaining Israeli and international hostages, and the facilitation of humanitarian aid entry into Gaza,” per the Guardian. The letter continues “We further urge our own respective governments and the international community to uphold international law and seek accountability for grave violations of human rights.” Further American signatories include Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, André Carson, Greg Casar, Chuy García, Hank Johnson, Summer Lee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Nydia Velázquez and Bonnie Watson Coleman, who are joined by British progressive icon Jeremy Corbyn  and politicians from Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.* Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush have issued a statement of support for South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. The representatives write “We unequivocally join world leaders and international human rights organizations in support of South Africa's case before the International Court of Justice alleging Israel violated the Genocide Convention. There must be an end to the violence—and there must be accountability for the blatant human rights abuses and mass atrocities occurring in the region. The historical significance of a post-apartheid state filing this case must not be lost, and the moral weight of their prerogative cannot be dismissed. The United States has a devastating role in the ongoing violence in Gaza, where already over 23,000 Palestinians have been killed, more than 59,000 injured, and millions have been displaced. We must refuse to be silent as the majority of the world is calling for an end to the violence and mass human suffering, and the need for accountability. As one of the countries that has agreed to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. must stop trying to discredit and undermine this case and the international legal system it claims to support. Our commitment to protecting the human rights of all people must be unconditional. The best time to make a conclusive determination on genocide is when there is still time to stop it, not after. We will continue pushing for a lasting ceasefire, full accountability, and a just and lasting peace for everyone.”* The South African attorney Wikus Van Rensburg has formally delivered a letter to the leadership of the United States outlining that his firm “intend[s] to bring legal proceedings against the U.S. Government based on overwhelming evidence that the [it] has, and is, aiding, abetting and supporting, encouraging or providing material assistance and means to…the Israeli Defense Forces…enabl[ing]...crimes against the Palestinian people.” Legal advocates like Ralph Nader and Bruce Fein have long sounded the alarm that American support for Israel's actions in Gaza are in breach of international law, but it remains to be seen whether the U.S. will stand trial at the Hague for their support of this genocidal campaign. This from Al-Mayadeen.* Al-Mayadeen also reports “in a rare show of dissent, US federal employees from nearly 22 agencies are planning a walkout to protest the Biden administration's handling of the war on Gaza.” This report attributes organization of this walkout to a group called “Feds United for Peace” and the walkout is “expected to draw participants from key agencies, including the Executive Office of the President, the National Security Agency, and the Departments of State, Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs…[along with the] Food and Drug Administration…the National Park Service, the Federal Aviation Administration…and the Environmental Protection Agency.” Axios reports that Congressional Republicans are planning to retaliate against these workers exercising their free speech rights, with Speaker Johnson, saying “Any government worker who walks off the job to protest U.S. support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers…They deserve to be fired."* The Intercept published an interview with teenage Israelis who are refusing conscription into the IDF. These young “refuseniks,” almost all part of the group Mesarvot – Hebrew for “we refuse” –  have been resisting conscription since the large-scale protests against the Netanyahu government last year, when over 230 of them signed a letter stating “The dictatorship that has existed for decades in the territories is now seeping into Israel and against us…This trend did not start now — it is inherent to the regime of occupation and Jewish supremacy. The masks are simply coming off.” However, these courageous young people are facing an increasingly hostile environment in Israel due to their refusal to serve. We offer them our solidarity.* In a massive blow to journalism, the Baltimore Sun has been sold to David Smith, the Baltimore Banner reports. Smith serves as executive chairman of Sinclair Inc., which owns more than 200 television stations nationwide and has been criticized for pushing uniform, Right-wing narratives through these channels. In addition to the Sun, Smith purchased its affiliated papers, including “The Capital and Maryland Gazette newspapers in Annapolis, the Carroll County Times, the Howard County Times and the Towson Times.”* The Lever has dropped a stunning report on “How Boeing Bought Washington,” which lays out the influence network the embattled airline has cultivated in the Beltway. The top-line numbers alone are eye-popping, with Boeing & Spirit AeroSystems spending over $65 million on lobbying and campaign donations over just four years. More insidious however is what they got for this money, namely safety waivers enabling them to keep unsafe planes in the sky. This report also touches on the case of Republican Congressman Ron Estes of Kansas, a top recipient of this campaign cash, who pressured the FAA to reinstate the 737 MAX – and Senator Maria Cantwell, Democrat of Washington, who received nearly $200,000 from the company and then dutifully “pushed through legislation to exempt Boeing's 737 MAX…from a looming safety deadline that would have required changes in their alerting systems…despite concerns from the families of the passengers who died in the 2018 and 2019 crashes.”* Josh Eidelson, Labor reporter at Bloomberg, is out with two major updates on the United Auto Workers new campaigns. One, Bloomberg reports the union has “signed up more than 30% of workers at a Mercedes plant in Alabama, after hitting the same milestone last month at Volkswagen in Tennessee,” illustrating the durability and success of their union drives at foreign-owned auto plants in the U.S. And two, Bloomberg reports that “Tesla is boosting pay for all US production associates, the latest bump by a non-union automaker following the UAW's big Detroit wins.” Taken together, one gets the impression that Auto Workers are organized, on the march, and have momentum behind them.* In Guatemala, Bernardo Arevalo of the Semilla Party has finally been sworn in as the president of that country, beating back multiple attempts by the corrupt ruling elites to undermine his ascension down to the moment of his inauguration. Reuters reports “Arevalo's inauguration was thrown into disarray after the Supreme Court allowed opposition lawmakers to maintain their leadership of Congress, and forced members of the president's Semilla party to stand as independents… [sparking] wrangling in Congress…[with] supporters of Arevalo threaten[ing] to storm the building as police in riot gear amassed in the streets.” Arevalo managed to weather the storm however, in part because he was aided by other countries' leadership. USAID Administrator Samantha Power, opposing the power grab, tweeted “There is no question that Bernardo Arevalo is the President of Guatemala. We call on all sides to remain calm — and for the Guatemalan Congress to uphold the will of the people. The world is watching.” Meanwhile, the presidents and foreign ministers present at the inauguration released a statement forcefully avowing “The will of the Guatemalan people must be respected,” Progressive International's David Adler reports. Renowned investigative journalist Allan Nairn added, “What is clear…is that even if Arévalo succeeds in taking power as president he will be governing under siege”.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Some of us might have no experience or negative experiences with liturgical worship. At their best, however, liturgies require the whole congregation to participate in the prayers, in the rites, and in the music. Liturgy in Greek means “work of the people”, so this Sunday evening Sparkers participate in singing, call-and-response, communal prayers, and scripture readings. The focus is our liturgy, our collective work that serves as our offering to God.

Ralph is joined by author and human rights activist Miko Peled. They discuss the excuses that Israel uses to defend the atrocities they commit against Palestinians, and the truth behind all the propaganda. Miko Peled is an author, writer, speaker, and human rights activist living in the United States. He is considered by many to be one of the clearest voices calling for justice in Palestine, support of the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) and the creation of a single democracy with equal rights in all of historic Palestine. Mr. Peled was born and raised in Jerusalem. His grandfather was a signer of the Israeli Declaration of Independence and his father was a general in the 1967 war. Anybody who is not courageous enough to stand up and speak the truth and stand up for what is right, because they might be called this name or that name—it's cowardice, it's hypocrisy. Being called antisemitic is a small price to pay when you talk about standing for the rights of millions of people who have been living under such terror for so many decades.Miko Peled This is pure revenge. What we're seeing is vengeance of a military force and a state that have been humiliated. And just like any bully, any gangster who's been humiliated, they take it out on the weakest people they can find, people who cannot defend themselves… It's revenge for the sake of revenge. It's savagery for the sake of savagery. It's brutality in its purest form. There's no other reason than the brutality itself. Miko Peled Palestinians deserve nothing less than the lifting of the siege, release of all prisoners, and the dismantling of the apartheid state. Nothing less than that should be demanded. And all we're seeing people talk about is ceasefires, as though a ceasefire is some great accomplishment. Ceasefire does not provide the possibility of a future where this is not repeated. What needs to be demanded now is a political solution that will ensure the safety and security of Palestinians—and that is never part of the conversation. A ceasefire does not secure the lives or the security of Palestinians, because we know Israel will violate it a week later. Miko Peled It's not going to collapse because Israelis agree. It's not going to collapse because Israelis wake up one morning in a good mood. Israel is going to have to be forced on its knees. Just like in South Africa, whites in South Africa were on their knees. We're talking about severe sanctions. We're talking about closing down all diplomatic missions. We're talking about not allowing Israelis to participate in sporting events, cultural events, any events, academic arenas. They need to be shunned. Israeli society and the apartheid state that they created need to be brought on their knees.Miko Peled In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. The Intercept's Prem Thakker reports 43 members of Congress now support a ceasefire. Some notable additions in recent days include Reps. Becca Balint, Sara Jacobs and Jamie Raskin, the first Jewish members to call for a ceasefire, and Jeff Merkley, the second Senator to call for a ceasefire. Pressure continues to mount on Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but they still do not support a ceasefire. And the LA Times editorial board has become the first in the nation to call for a ceasefire.2. According to Time, Reporters Without Borders has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court for war crimes committed against Palestinian journalists in Gaza. The complaint cites the "deliberate, total or partial, destruction of the premises of more than 50 media outlets in Gaza." This crisis will likely prove decisive for the legitimacy of the ICC, as several countries including South Africa, have alleged that the court is biased in favor of western-aligned governments.3. Haaretz reports former Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, who crafted the “Leahy Law” which prohibits U.S. military assistance to foreign security forces that violate human rights, has gone on record saying that the U.S. routinely ignores Israeli human rights abuses. Leahy said “it appears to me that shooting civilians and targeting civilian infrastructure, when you can't prove it is being used by Hamas, would be a violation of human rights…What is being done to apply the Leahy law now? I don't know. I know past administrations have been too concerned to do it. It should apply to the Israeli Defense Forces, unless the administration, as many have, has waived it."4. While not calling for a ceasefire, both Bernie Sanders and President Biden have announced plans to reshape military aid to Israel. Senator Sanders has put forth a plan to condition military aid upon multiple criteria including “the right of displaced Gazans to return to their homes” and “an end to settler violence in the West Bank.” Barak Ravid reports President Biden is considering imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers – who have long operated with legal impunity – threatening to ban visas for violent Israeli extremists in the West Bank. Ravid adds this would be the “1st time the U.S. [has] publicly consider[ed] individual sanctions against settlers.”5. KCRA reports The California Democratic convention was interrupted at multiple points by demonstrators demanding the candidates to fill Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat call for a ceasefire. Rep. Barbara Lee has done so, but not Reps. Katie Porter or Adam Schiff. Barbara Lee won the most votes at the convention, but fell short of the 60% threshold required to get the formal endorsement of the state party.6. A stunning ceasefire protest in the Bay Area saw activists park their cars on the bay bridge, then throw their keys into the water below – making it impossible for them or the police to move the vehicles, per FOX 8. Another protest at the DNC resulted in a police crackdown leaving 90 protesters injured, per the Guardian. Yet another protest at DC's Union Station resulted in 3 arrests on vandalism charges for protesters leaving bloody handprints on the inside of the station, per WTOP. Expect these disruption tactics to escalate as political leaders continue to ignore demands for a ceasefire.7. While many colleges are clamping down on pro-Palestine protests, Ryan Grim reports Occidental has set the model for engagement with student activists. The college announced that, following a student occupation of the administration office, they would pursue a dialogue with the student activists. Both the students and the administration stressed that Barack Obama got his start in activism at Occidental, pressuring the administration to divest from apartheid South Africa.8. In other news, Bloomberg reports the Public Prosecutor's office in Guatemala has conducted raids and arrests of Semilla party members. Semilla candidate Bernardo Arevalo was elected earlier this year, successfully, dealing a rare defeat to the openly corrupt political establishment in that country. The Public Prosecutor's office also announced that they will file charges against Arevalo, his vice-president elect, and several Semilla congressmen. The State Department has decried this move and is seeking to “Impose Additional Visa Restrictions in Response to Anti-Democratic Actions in Guatemala.” 9. Finally, More Perfect Union reports that “For the first time ever, U.S. auto workers have gotten a shuttered factory reopened. Workers at the massive Belvidere [Illinois] Jeep plant were laid off or told to relocate in March. Now the plant is not only reopening — @UAW won three times as many jobs and a $30/hour wage floor.” This stunning victory shows what is possible in terms of revitalizing domestic manufacturing with a renewed labor movement. And that is something we can all be thankful for.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

On February 23rd, 1953, two men asked workers at the Lyles Buick Company Service Station in Sonora for help; they'd ran out of gas and were stranded just east of town, the strangers said. 17-year-old Raul Arevalo filled up a gas can, grabbed the keys to the company pickup, and drove the men back to their vehicle. But he never returned. For six days, Raul's family searched for him, as did Texas Highway Patrol and the Sutton County Sheriff's Office. On March 1st, 1953, six days after he disappeared, a young married couple found the body of Raul Arevalo. He'd been tortured and shot to death. The men who Raul sought to help have never been identified. At least, not officially.If you have any information about the murder of Raul Arevalo, please contact the Texas Rangers at (800) 346-3243, submit an electronic tip by visiting Raul's page at dps.texas.gov/coldCase/Home/Details/261 and clicking on the “submit a tip online” link at the bottom of the page or remain anonymous and eligible for a reward of up to $3000 by calling Texas Crime Stoppers at (800)252-8477You can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter or X or whatever, Threads, and Instagram by searching @gonecoldpodcastFind us on TikTok and YouTube, where we've finally released content and plan to continue producing more.

Mark Twain once said, “Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow.” As an antidote to that Ralph welcomes Professor Piers Steel, author of “The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done.” Plus, Ralph urges listeners to sign up for The Capitol Hill Citizen Association, another way to organize citizens to put pressure on the branch of our government where things must get done, the United States Congress.  Dr. Piers Steel is one of the world's leading researchers and speakers on the science of motivation and procrastination. Dr. Steel is a professor in the Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources area at the University of Calgary, and is the Brookfield Research Chair at the Haskayne School of Business. He is the author of The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done.The root of procrastination is impulsiveness. Impulsiveness is valuing the now more than the later… We're designed to value the now. And this was really adaptive for a long time. It's not a bad trait. It's just that we've designed a world to take advantage of every little flaw that we have in our decision-making system.Dr. Piers SteelYou have to deal with yourself as an imperfect, flawed creature and deal with the reality of that. We're not robotic angels of perfection. We have limitations. And when I actually act within my limitations, I get stuff done.Dr. Piers SteelWe're superstars of self-control in the animal kingdom. We're able to hunt and kill most anything because we're willing to actually put in the delay of gratification. That's really what makes us great. But we're still not ready for things that are happening even a year off, much less five or ten.Dr. Piers SteelMore people will listen to what we just said about becoming part of the Capitol Hill Citizen Association and say to themselves, “I'm going to get around to doing that,” than the actual number of people who do it in a prompt period of time. So it would be very good to listen to Professor Steel's suggestions and read his book, because we cannot afford procrastinatory citizens. We have a procrastinatory Congress, and the citizens have got to get them to anticipate, to foresee, to forestall so many of the omnicidal urgencies that are coming at our country and other countries around the world.Ralph NaderTo become a member of the Capitol Hill Citizen Association, click here.In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. On August 28th, 20 groups – ranging from Left-wing anti-war organizations like Veterans for Peace to Right-leaning government transparency groups like R Street Institute – sent a letter to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees demanding they maintain Rep. Jamaal Bowman's Cost of War amendment in the final National Defense Authorization Act. This provision “requires public disclosure about the cost of the U.S.' overseas military footprint and gives the American people greater transparency on military spending.” Hopefully, the left-right consensus on this issue is enough to maintain this amendment.2. In other Pentagon news, the Intercept reports that Rep. Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, has introduced an amendment demanding the Pentagon “collect information on trainees who overthrow their governments,” following the recent spate of coups in Africa. Gaetz told the Intercept “The Department of Defense, up until this point, has not kept data regarding the people they train who participate in coups to overthrow democratically elected — or any — governments.” This could become a flashpoint as Congress prepares to consider the 2024 NDAA when it returns from recess in September.3. As expected, tensions are running high in Guatemala following the upset victory of anti-corruption crusader Bernardo Arevalo. Opponents of Arevalo had urged the country's electoral tribunal to suspend his Semilla party on dubious legal grounds, which the tribunal resisted hewing to the letter of the law which dictated such actions could not be taken during the electoral process. After the election however, the party was officially suspended. Now, Reuters reports that suspension has been revoked, following a mass mobilization of Arevalo supporters in Guatemala City. It seems unlikely however that Arevalo's political opponents will accept his victory without a fight.4. In a dangerous, anti-free speech move, the Attorney General of Georgia has filed RICO indictments against 42 individuals involved with the Stop Cop City protest movement, the Atlanta Community Press Collective reports. This is the latest in a long line of attempts to quash opposition to the project, which has so far included trumped up domestic terrorism charges and arrests for handing out flyers.  5. Bloomberg reports that President Biden and Brazilian President Lula will jointly call for new worker protections at the upcoming General Assembly of the United Nations. While the article notes the two leaders have been “at odds” over China and Russia, they align on the topic of labor unionization. The two presidents have found common ground before, such as on the issue of climate change.6. Visual Effects workers at Disney have filed for unionization, per the Hollywood Reporter. Approximately 80% of VFX staff have already signed union cards, demanding an NLRB election and representation by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees or IATSE. This comes on the heels of a similar announcement by VFX workers at Marvel, a Disney subsidiary. In recent years. studios have increasingly relied on VFX workers in a rather blatant attempt to cut costs, as VFX workers have generally been non-union.7. At long last, the Department of Health and Human Services has announced the first ten drugs that will be subject to Mecicare negotiations to bring down prices. These are: Eliquis, Jardiance, Xarelto, Januvia Farxiga, Entresto, Enbrel, Imbruvica, Stelara and – crucially – several brands of insulin. HHS noted that “These selected drugs accounted for $50.5 billion in total [Medicare] Part D gross covered prescription drug costs, or about 20%, of total Part D gross between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023.”8. The Washington Post reports Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su has proposed new overtime rules intended to “extend overtime pay to an additional 3.6 million salaried white-collar workers in the United States.” According to current rules, workers are exempt from overtime if they make over $35,568 per year; the new rules would extend to workers making under $55,000 annually. If implemented, this would mean a whole new class of workers would be eligible for time-and-a-half pay if they work more than 40 hours per week.9. Per Republic Report: “The U.S. Department of Education announced…that it is cancelling $72 million in student loan obligations for more than 2,300 former students who attended for-profit Ashford University between 2009 and 2020.” Yet, even now the shady operators behind Ashford may still be able to squeeze money out of the taxpayers via a convoluted buyout by the University of Arizona Global Campus. Still, this marks a significant victory in a legal battle that has raged for over a decade, with Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa calling Ashford a “complete scam” all the way back in 2011.10. Finally, in more debt related news, the Philadelphia Inquirer has published a piece detailing how the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt was able to purchase – and forgive – over $1.6 million in medical debt. As the piece explains “When hospitals or physician groups have delinquent debts they have little chance of collecting on, they'll typically go to what's called the secondary market and sell their portfolios for pennies on the dollar.” It was on this secondary market that RIP Medical Debt was able to buy $1.6 million worth of debt for just $17,000. In celebration, “30 proud, self-described gutter-pagan, mostly queer dirtbags in their early 30s,” gathered for a ritual burning of an oversized medical bill. Someone chanted “debt is hell” and the crowd responded “let it burn.” Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

On August 20th a former academic, diplomat and now anti-corruption crusader Bernardo Arevalo stunned the world with a landslide victory in Guatemala's presidential election. Arevalo won with over 60% of the vote, besting a former first lady who represented Guatemala's long dominant conservative -- and corrupt -- political establishment. This was a truly unexpected result. People who professionally observe Central American politics, including Ivan Briscoe, were taken by surprise.  Ivan Briscoe is Program Director for Latin America and the Caribbean at the International Crisis Group. As he explains, Arevalo is genuinely committed to democracy and rooting out corruption -- and this is putting him at odds with the incumbent corrupt establishment. And despite the election results, the establishment is fighting back and taking measures to prevent Arevalo from wielding power in office and enacting meangful change. We kick off with a discussion of Arevelo's fascinating biography before having a longer conversation about the significance of his landslide victory.  Newsletter: https://www.globaldispatches.org/  Patreon  Spotify Premium Feed
