The Surge of Germany's Populist AfD Party Threatens Ruling Coalition. Judy Dempsey (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace) discusses the rising political power of the AfD, a populist, anti-NATO, anti-EU, anti-American, and pro-Russia party in Germany. The party initially gained strength in the eastern part of Germany but is now also rising in the western part of the country. The AfD is actively campaigning very hard in villages, towns, cities, and even among teachers in schools. The party has nearly pulled even with the ruling party (the CSU and CDU), trailing by just one percentage point. With a large number of seats in the German parliament (Bundestag), the AfD smells power, forcing Merz to continuously maneuver to hold back the populist surge.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Mary Fridley as guest to the show.   About Mary Fridley:   A long-time community builder, group therapist and passionate developmentalist, Mary Fridley is on the faculty at the East Side Institute, where she co-created and leads The Joy of Dementia (You Gotta Be Kidding!) and leads Reimagining Dementia: A Creative Coalition for Justice, an international effort to creatively transform the “tragedy narrative” of dementia. She is also a guest columnist for agebuzz.com.   About Reimagining Dementia: A Creative Coalition for Justice:   Reimagining Dementia: A Creative Coalition for Justice brings together people living with dementia, care partners, community members, activists and allies, helping professionals, artists, academics and others who believe in creativity (of all kinds) as an innovative way to transform the stigma and stereotypes of dementia and the inequities experienced by people living with it, and to effect individual and social transformation.   With 1,100 plus members in 50 countries, the Coalition is a grassroots catalyst for change and a visible “hub” and community of support for all. In 2023, we launched Taking It to the Streets, which invites members and allies to host public-facing events, activities, and conversations that present creative, collaborative and hope-filled alternatives to the fear, stigma and hopelessness surrounding dementia.

It is the Season SIX premiere of Down the Rabbit Hole! For this special premiere we explore the question "What does coalition leadership look like during political, cultural, and financial changes, and how do we lead without leaving anyone behind?" To open DVAM (Domestic Violence Awareness Month), William and Samantha convene a roundtable of state coalition leaders to explore why coalitions matter now more than ever. Gloria Aguilera Terry (Texas Council on Family Violence) is joined by Judy Chen (Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence), Dr. Maria Corona (Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence), Hema Sarang-Sieminski (Jane Doe Inc.), and Susan Higginbotham (Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence). Together, they unpack the collective power of speaking with one voice, the realities of funding gaps, and the drivers of the politicized pushback. They also discuss the toll of the work on advocates, and why prevention, radical empathy, and world-building belong at the center of coalitions. Join the conversation to learn how shared leadership, collective care, and prevention-first thinking can help us build safer communities together. Tune in now! This episode explores topics of domestic violence. Please listen with care.

Accunet Mortgage & Realty Show 10-11-2025: Market Insights and Client Success## Government Shutdown and Economic DataThe recent government shutdown left mortgage professionals without critical data like the jobs report. However, Bureau of Labor Statistics employees were recalled to complete the September Consumer Price Index report—needed for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments. This matters because CPI measures inflation, the primary driver of mortgage rates.## Global Markets Impact Your RateJapanese political developments unexpectedly moved U.S. mortgage rates this week. Coalition negotiations caused rates to rise Monday, then fall Friday when the coalition collapsed. While you shouldn't track Tokyo politics, this shows how rates reflect complex global factors beyond local conditions.## Rate Options: No Single AnswerThere's no single “rate today.” Borrowers choose different approaches—some pay no points, others buy down their rate. The decision depends on loan size, equity, timeline, and cash preferences. Choose what aligns with your financial strategy.## Southeastern Wisconsin MarketSeptember sales rose 3% year-over-year to 1,546 transactions, though 20% below pre-pandemic levels. About 60-65% of homeowners have rates under 4%, creating a “lock-in effect.”Median prices rose 7% to $362,500, but single-family homes ($390,000, up 10%) outpaced condos ($280,000, up 1.5%). Inventory is improving—new listings exceeded closings by 583 homes, creating a 2.5-month supply (still a seller's market but trending toward balance).Competition remains steady: 46% of homes sold above asking. With inflation stabilizing, buyers may be more selective, letting good homes move fast while mediocre properties linger.## Success Story: Value Acceptance WinsA buyer transitioning from Illinois won with a $20,000 over-ask offer using strategic advantages:- **Value Acceptance**: Property qualified for no-appraisal at their offer price—eliminating risk and delays- **Proactive Communication**: Calling the listing agent to highlight this advantage- **Speed**: 10% down ready, committed to 2.5-week closeLesson: Combine financial readiness, strategic advantages, clear communication, and speed.## Smart Down Payment StrategyA buyer planning $43,000 down (12%) explored alternatives: Every $1,000 in down payment changed their monthly payment by only $6.50. Keeping $10,000 in savings costs about $65 monthly—roughly two restaurant deliveries.For homes needing work, having cash for repairs might outweigh minimal payment savings.**Balance Three Factors**: Money leaving savings, money remaining for reserves, and monthly payment comfort. The best choice depends on your situation, not generic rules.## Refinance RealityDon't wait for a full percentage point drop. On a $500,000 loan, even 0.5% saves $244 monthly—nearly $3,000 annually. Consider absolute savings and break-even timeline, not arbitrary rules.## Key TakeawaysMarkets are complex and globally connected. The best mortgage matches your specific cash position, income trajectory, and goals—not one-size-fits-all advice. Competitive success requires financial readiness, speed, and understanding advantages like value acceptance. Local dynamics matter most. Cash versus equity decisions should reflect your priorities and circumstances, helping you find what works best for your life and financial situation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Episode 25 with Marsha Rosenbaum, PhD, is a journey back through the psychedelic time machine. Marsha started her medicine journey back in the 1970s, both as an underground explorer of psychedelics and an above-ground researcher for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). For nearly 20 years, she was the Principal Investigator on grants from NIDA to study women heroin addicts, cocaine, methadone maintenance treatment, and MDMA. She then moved to drug policy and education at the Drug Policy Alliance in San Francisco (where she is Director Emerita) where she founded the Safety First drug education project. Back when Marsha, got her start, the general view was that all drugs were bad, which then led to the creation of the war on drugs and all its devastating impacts. Marsha is one of the many voices that has helped our society to come to the new understanding that some drugs can actually be very beneficial and that the drug war did more damage than any drug ever did. Join us for a trip through the psychedelic decades as we explore the amazing contribution of Marsha Rosenbaum to the evolution of drug research, policy and education.   Learn More About Marsha Rosenbaum, PhD Drug Policy Alliance: drugpolicy.org Safety First Program: https://drugpolicy.org/resource/safety-first/ Before You Trip: beforeyoutrip.org Coalition for Psychedelic Safety and  Education: https://www.coalitionforpsychedelicsafety.org   Connect with Carla If you're inspired by this episode and want to stay connected, follow Carla and Psychedelic Divas on social media or visit the website to get your Psychedelic Safety Guide Including What to Do When Things Go Wrong: ·        Website: PsychedelicDivas.com ·        Carla's Coaching: CarlaDetchon.com ·        Instagram: @psychedelicdivas ·        YouTube: @carladetchon  ·        Subscribe & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review Psychedelic Divas.

Recent opinion polls indicate support for the populist right party One Nation has doubled since the last election. Around the globe, far-right politicians pushing nationalist anti-immigration policies are also on the rise – including Nigel Farage's Reform UK and Donald Trump in the US. So could Pauline Hanson's One Nation grow to pose a similar threat to Australian politics? Nour Haydar speaks with Guardian Australia deputy editor, Patrick Keneally, and head of newsroom, Mike Ticher, about the rise of the populist right and the lessons for Australia

The first senate estimates of the 48th Parliament have arrived – where the Albanese Labor Government and representatives from the Australian Public Service and government agencies are quizzed for up to 14 hours a day about pretty much anything.

John Oakley tackles two storylines shaping Canada right now. First, Jocelyn Bamford—VP at Automatic Coating and founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada—breaks down how U.S. tariffs and Ottawa/Queen's Park responses could hit Canadian manufacturing, from autos to steel, and what policy levers (energy costs, red tape, pipelines) might actually keep high-skill jobs here. Then Tristin Hopper, National Post columnist and author of “Don't Be Canada,” explains the latest polling: Mark Carney's fading honeymoon, a Conservative upswing, seniors consolidating as the Liberal base, a disappearing gender gap, and the NDP's ongoing slump. What we cover: How prospective U.S. tariffs could ripple through Windsor, Oshawa, Guelph, Brampton & beyond Auto sector realities under USMCA vs. headline panic—and whether political theatre helps or hurts Ontario's “hardball” signals (LCBO booze, critical minerals, energy) and investor confidence The cost stack for manufacturers: electricity, compliance, and “death by a thousand cuts” Poll shifts since the election: approval slides, vote-intent realignments, and where swing voters went Guests: Jocelyn Bamford (VP, Automatic Coating; Founder, Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada); Tristin Hopper (Columnist, National Post; Author, “Don't Be Canada”).

In this week's episode I welcomed back Aubrey Smalls. Aubrey is an actor, filmmaker, and content creator with dwarfism who uses his platforms to educate people about what it means to be a little person and dwarfism history. October is a month for celebration in the dwarfsim community, so we wanted to take the time to discuss how we will be celebrating as well as have a conversation about how being a person with dwarfism is perceived and defined in 2025. Oh, and my mom, Audrey Curwin, makes a cameo appearance to highlight a little person who has left a lasting legacy in our family and our community.
