The Rowena Fire and Burdoin Fires affected communities along the Oregon and Washington sides of the Columbia River. Many of the structures destroyed were part of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. The region has legal protections in place to preserve its natural and recreational resources, although the areas typically have some people already living there.    The Columbia River Gorge Commission helps create and enforce policies that preserve this area. Krystyna Wolniakowski is the executive director of the commission. Alex Johnson is a commissioner. They join us with more on what rebuilding looks like in a region with special protections and how the commission is working with property owners and residents on post-fire recovery.

Pastor Mac provides a topical style teaching utilizing Matthew CH 28:16-20 as our anchor verses for the Church, while expounding on Mark CH 16:15-18 in order to show how these verses are addressing the Apostles and not the Church as a whole based on who Jesus is addressing within the text.  This teaching will discuss a practical approach when using the gospels synoptically that should aid in identifying distinctions when topics are closely related such as these, which has led to a failure regarding the Church acting upon the true challenge associated with the great commission. Social MediaMobile & TV Apps: https://subsplash.com/calvarychapelkaneohe/appProphecy Website: http://jdfarag.orgChurch Website: http://www.calvarychapelkaneohe.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/JDFaragFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JDFaragInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/JDFarag

It is 10 months since the resignation of Justin Welby as Archbishop of Canterbury. Now, finally, the Crown Nominations Commission is believed to have drawn up a shortlist of candidates, and a successor to Welby could be approved by October.Theologian and author Andrew Graystone joins Damian Thompson to talk through what he calls ‘a weak list' of potential candidates – weak because there are no obvious frontrunners and the Commission is choosing between ‘half a dozen equals'. These range from the more talked-about Michael Beasley (Bath and Wells), Guli France-Dehqani (Chelmsford) and Rose Hudson-Wilson (Dover) [all pictured in the thumbnail] to the ‘others': Stephen Lake (Salisbury), Martyn Snow (Leicester), Joanne Grenfell (St Edmundsbury and Ipswich), Sarah Mullallay (London), Rachel Treweek (Gloucester) and Ruth Worsely (interim bishop of Liverpool).As Andrew tells Damian, factors dividing the candidates include their age, their views on LGBT inclusion and, crucially, their records on safeguarding issues. Also, note the presence of six women on this list. Could the Church be about to appoint the first female Primate of All England? And could this lead to disastrous controversy within the Anglican Communion – or is that body already so fractured that the Church of England will ignore its objections? Anyone wondering why the process has taken so long – especially compared to the 17 days it took the Catholic Church to elect a new Pope this year – should check out our previous episode with Andrew here.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

There is an expanding landscape of lies, distortions, and half-truths shaping global politics. The latest instance is the immediate blame heaped on the left for the killing of Charlie Kirk despite evidence that right-leaning attacks are more common. It's one more sign that the line between reality and fabrication is getting blurrier. And as misinformation metastasizes, there are mounting concerns about whether democratic institutions can survive. This episode turns a spotlight on Slovakia, the central European nation that's become a hotspot for post-truth politics. Seven years ago, Prime Minister Robert Fico was forced from power after the execution-style murder of investigative journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancée. But Fico made a comeback, formed a coalition with the far right, and now is surrounded by an array of ultranationalist reactionaries, white supremacists and delusional post-truthers. They include Rudolf Huliak, the misogynistic tourism minister; Peter Kotlár, the Covid denier who takes his cue from RFK Jr.; Filip Kuffa, the state secretary for the environment who mocks endangered species; Lukáš Machala, a powerful official prone to flat-earth theories; and his boss, Martina Šimkovičová, an aggressively homophobic culture minister who is putting Slovakia's public broadcaster under political control. That makes Slovakia a key test for the European Commission and for its new Media Freedom Act, which aims to stop political interference in editorial decisions. But whether the Commission will take action remains an open question. Like other leaders of would-be autocracies, Fico uses strategies to feign compliance to throw up roadblocks to enforcement. There are also geopolitical concerns. What if enforcement pushes Slovakia even further into the Kremlin's orbit? That's the wrong question says Pavol Szalai of Reporters sans frontières. In reality the Commission's failure to act would expose Slovakia to yet more post-truth, pro-Russia messaging that weakens the EU's ability to defend Ukraine and itself. In this episode: Pavol describes how the EU can help Slovakia combat a trend that's hobbled media in Hungary, left Polish media in disarray, and that promises to damage media in Czechia if, as expected, the far right comes to power there in October.Support the show

Today, we are joined by two dynamic activists who are walking the walk and can give us inspiration to take our own path to make a difference.  Hani Nofal resigned his commission in the Navy because of our complicity in genocide.  He now works for Rebuilding Alliance (rebuildingalliance.org) working to provide aid and support for the people of Palestine and more.   He has been interviewed on the national media and is a desired speaker at national rallies.  We also have Katerina, who just happens to be his wife and is also active doing lactation consultation with the moms in Gaza, and yes, that is possible despite the trauma they are going through.   She herself is a Mom of two babies, and she shares the stories and the strength of Gaza Moms trying to survive and care for their babies.

  “One powerful, overlooked aspect of colorectal cancer survivorship is the emotional and identity transformation that our survivors undergo—and really how little space is given in the clinical arena for that. No one really talks about this ‘invisible recovery.' Facing mortality can lead to prolonged changes is values, relationships, and life goals. And these experiences aren't captured in lab results or imaging scans, but they really shape how survivors live, love, and heal and continue with their lives,” ONS member Kris Mathey, DNP, APRN-CNP, AOCNP®, gastrointestinal medical oncology nurse practitioner at The James Cancer Hospital of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about colorectal cancer survivorship.

Highlights From This Episode “As of the most recent data, more than 1.5 million people in the United States are living as colorectal cancer survivors. So this includes not only those who are currently undergoing active cancer treatment but also those who have completed treatment and ultimately are hopefully in remission. Just a reminder that colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States and it's the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths.” TS 1:53 “Our colorectal cancer survivors may have significant barriers when receiving this comprehensive survivorship care, and these challenges can affect not only their physical recovery but their emotional well-being and, ultimately, their long-term health outcomes. We as oncology nurses do play a pivotal role in identifying and addressing these barriers. So these can include fragmented care. Who's caring for these patients? That care coordination between the oncologist and the oncology team and then the primary care providers and team. Limited access—so our patients that may have geographic limited access or also financial- or insurance-related obstacles to follow-up services.” TS 9:10 “Our nurses can also facilitate the communication between specialists and primary care providers, so making sure that we're sending records, keeping those lines of communications open. Also, nurses can provide that psychosocial support, so our screening for distress and also advocating and supporting for referral to counseling or support groups for a patient. Nurses can also act as navigators to guide these patients through complex care systems.” TS 11:21 “Some of the recommended changes—nutrition—enhancing and emphasizing fruits, vegetables, that colorful plate, with whole grains. Limit those red and processed meats, and reduce sugary drinks and alcohol. I know we will all have those patients who have read things or cancer myths about, ‘Oh, cancer feeds on sugar, so I shouldn't drink anything or eat anything with sugar,' and maybe addressing that, just really emphasizing the well-rounded meals.” TS 19:57 “When we think about [ourselves], ‘Well, I don't have an implicit bias,' but we may not think about what that is. Some common preconceived assumptions are that survivorship equals a cure. And this assumption may overlook that chronic symptoms or those late effects and emotional needs of long-term survivors. So knowing that when a patient is coming to us on surveillance, they may be cured; they may not have active cancer, but they're still dealing with some of those chronic symptoms—and acknowledging that.” TS 30:37 “There's an assumption that an ostomy equals poor quality of life, and this may stigmatize patients and discourage open conversations about adaptation and support. A couple weeks ago, I volunteered at the Pan Ohio Hope Ride, which is with the American Cancer Society, and several states have a ride that's similar. And there was a patient riding, and I could tell over his jersey that he had an ostomy bag underneath that. And I just looked at him and I thought, ‘That's amazing. You are still functioning, still living, still riding a bike throughout the entire state of Ohio with an ostomy.' So he's still having that good quality of life. That doesn't stop him from living.” TS 31:39

Episode #395: Laetitia van den Assum, a Dutch diplomat and former ambassador to Thailand, was one of nine members of the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State, a group set up in 2016 at Aung San Suu Kyi's request and chaired by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Its mandate was to improve conditions in one of Myanmar's poorest and most divided regions. In this conversation, van den Assum reflects on the Commission's work, her dealings with Annan and Min Aung Hlaing, and the enduring challenges of Rakhine. From the outset, the military opposed the Commission because it had been established without their consent, and Min Aung Hlaing tried to push Parliament to expel the foreign members. But as van den Assum notes, “he could not stop us,” since the 25 percent of seats reserved for the military under the 2008 constitution was insufficient to block the process. Building trust among local communities was another hurdle-- the Commission had to prove that it represented everyone, not only the Rohingya. In August 2017, the Commission released its final report, containing 88 recommendations focused on peace, development, and human rights. The very next day, ARSA launched attacks on police posts, and the military retaliated with sweeping operations that drove 750,000 Rohingya into Bangladesh. Van den Assum believes these plans were already in place, describing the scale of violence as shocking but not unexpected. She continues to stress the report's lessons. Citizenship remains central: without reform of the 1982 law that excluded the Rohingya and many others, genuine progress is impossible. Long-term planning also requires accurate population data, as nearly a million people were left uncounted in the 2014 census. Looking at Myanmar today, van den Assum sees fragmentation across the country and insists that peace must precede development and rights. Calling for pragmatic international support, she warns that Myanmar cannot rely on foreign aid indefinitely and must become more self-sufficient. Yet her appreciation for the resistance effort is unwavering: “My admiration knows no bounds for those continuing to fight for their self-determination. They don't see a way back. There's only a way forward.”

“The Assemblies of God was founded as a cooperative fellowship that honors the calling and gifting of all Spirit-filled believers, not as a clerical hierarchy,” says a new Assemblies of God position paper. “As we seek to cultivate healthy spiritual leadership,” it continues, “we must resist any drift toward positional superiority and instead affirm diverse models of leadership found throughout the global church. To walk in step with the Spirit, we must honor the voices of those God has raised up from within, not just those with titles. The nature of spiritual leadership listens, learns, and leads in discernment within community.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Allen Tennison about “Misuse of Spiritual Leadership” (also in Spanish), a new position paper adopted by the General Presbytery of the Assemblies of God during its August 2025 meeting. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Allen Tennison is theological counsel of the General Council of the Assemblies of God and chair of its Commission on Doctrines and Practices. ————— This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Fostering an Environment for Connection.

Using a consistent commission rate and trying to force it into every deal is a poor practice that will cost brokers and auctioneers some of the opportunities they hope to win.  In this episode we are joined by Jimmie Dean Coffey, as we discuss different strategies to educate yourself and your team of agents and auctioneers around pitching commission rates that align with the services being provided.  It will increase your listing capture rates and help to reinforce a sustainable commission rate for both the agents and the brokerage and/or auction company.  Enjoy the show.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 9 septembre 2025 avec Agnès Verdier-Molinié, directrice de la fondation Ifrap, et autrice de "Face au mur", aux éditions de l'Observatoire.L'instabilité politique en France, renforcée par la chute du gouvernement Bayrou, risque d'assombrir les perspectives économiques du pays et de peser sur ses finances publiques, sous la menace d'une dégradation de sa note par l'agence Fitch vendredi. Déjà malmenée par la hausse des droits de douane américains et la censure du précédent gouvernement, l'économie française affronte une nouvelle fois l'écueil de la vacance du pouvoir. La croissance française s'est jusqu'ici montrée plutôt résiliente, confortant le ministère de l'Economie dans sa prévision d'une hausse annuelle de 0,7% du produit intérieur brut (PIB). Mais l'équation budgétaire est difficile, dans un paysage politique morcelé, alors que la France figure parmi les cancres européens en raison de l'ampleur de son déficit public (5,8% du PIB en 2024) et de son endettement (113,9% du PIB ou 3.345,4 milliards d'euros fin mars).C'est dans ce contexte délicat que Fitch pourrait faire basculer vendredi la note souveraine de la France du groupe AA ("qualité haute ou bonne") au groupe A ("qualité moyenne supérieure"). Bercy tente d'amadouer les agences en leur dressant le portrait d'une France aux fondamentaux économiques solides, et à la croissance qui résiste.Agnès Verdier-Molinié nous livrera son analyse de la situation économique du pays. Quelles pourraient être les conséquences de l'instabilité politique ? La France pourra-t-elle voter un budget et réaliser les économies de 120 milliards d'euros sur cinq ans attendues par la Commission européenne ? En ce jour de démission de François Bayrou, la France emprunte plus cher que l'Italie à dix ans. À quelle réaction s'attendre de la part des acteurs économiques ?

Gov. Jim Pillen declined to sign draft regulations for the medical cannabis industry the commission approved last week. In a letter to the commission sent Thursday, Pillen wrote "Leaving the cultivators without a limit would increase likelihood of an overabundance of cannabis product that creates an unregulated, unintended black-market supply.” The commission responded by placing a limit of 1,250 flowering plants for each cultivator.

Want to lose your best sales reps fast? Screw up their comp plan. In this episode, we sit down with Antoine Fort, CEO of Qobra, to dig into the classic mistakes that drive top performers out the door. We talk about why overcomplicated plans kill motivation, how underpaying top reps quietly drains revenue, and why immediacy and trust are non-negotiable if you want comp plans to work.We also get into clawbacks, the mess of usage-based and outcome-based models, and what really happens when you ignore the value of your top reps. Antoine explains why accelerators, recognition, and clear career paths matter just as much as salary, and why forcing high performers into management usually blows up in your face.(00:00) - Introduction (00:54) - Antoine's Background and Qobra (07:01) - Challenges in Sales Compensation (10:49) - Simplicity in Compensation Plans (14:16) - Immediacy and Trust in Sales Compensation (18:57) - You're Underpaying Top Sales Reps (30:31) - How to Keep Your Best Reps Happy (39:26) - Commission on Renewing Customers (41:18) - Retention Strategies for Sales Reps (44:35) - Hiring New Reps: When and How (46:02) - AI and Usage-Based Pricing Challenges (01:00:39) - Differences in Commission Structures: US vs Europe (01:04:32) - Next Week: Health & Mental Health for Founders

Send us a textIn this episode of the Hello Hair Pro Podcast, Todd and Jen tackle one of the most hot-button topics in the hair industry: booth and suite rental vs. commission salons.They break down the hidden costs of going out on your own, the predatory marketing tactics some rental salon owners use, and why many stylists actually make less money renting than they would in a well-run commission salon.You'll also hear about Jen's unique apprenticeship program, how demand and merit (not time) should drive pricing, and why the future may be swinging back toward commission salons that innovate, lead with vision, and provide real support to stylists.If you've ever wondered whether renting really means “keeping all your money,” or if you're considering making the jump, this episode will give you the clarity you need.Key Takeaways:The myth of “keeping all your money” — why rental comes with major hidden costs like software, insurance, licensing, cleaning, and taxes.Predatory practices in rental salons — from targeting new grads to dangling “amenities” that erode profitability.The rental vs. commission mindset — it's less about freedom and more about whether you want to be left alone or guided.Apprenticeship success stories — why Jen's program produces stylists who can raise their prices even before they're licensed.Future industry trends — why rental is plateauing, and why well-run commission salons are primed for a comeback.Episode Timestamps:[00:00] Welcome & opening banter[00:01] Todd's “seed planting” approach to partnership and decision making[00:05] Jen celebrates Madison, her apprentice, hitting 1,500 hours[00:07] Pricing apprentices fairly: demand vs. time in the industry[00:11] Rental vs. commission: not good vs. bad, just different needs[00:13] Why “you keep all your money” is predatory marketing[00:14] The danger of targeting new grads for rental[00:16] Loneliness and stagnation in suites — why many return to community[00:18] Business basics renters MUST know: mission, vision, P&L, insurance[00:20] The importance of marketing and curating like-minded renters[00:23] Why commission salons lost ground — and how they can bounce back[00:26] The constant need to evolve in business[00:27] Hidden costs checklist: rent, licenses, equipment, insurance, software, accounting, taxes, education, and more[00:35] Commission salon advantage: stylists get to focus on creativity[00:36] Todd's renter's checklist — what to have in place before you jump[00:38] Why industry infighting (rental vs. commission) is hurting everyone[00:39] Wrapping up & newsletter inviteResources & LinksSubscribe to the 321 Pro Push Newsletter: Real business lessons, strategies, and challenges delivered weekly.Listen to more episodes: the Hello Hair Pro podcastFollow us on Instagram: @hellohairproLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Le 19 juillet 1995 était signée, par Nelson Mandela, la loi qui créait la Commission vérité et réconciliation. Une expérience de justice restaurative pour tenter de panser les terribles plaies de l'apartheid. Une dynamique qui a créé des émules partout dans le monde. Mais aujourd'hui, le bilan est finalement assez mitigé, car les suspects qui n'ont pas obtenu d'amnistie n'ont jamais été inquiétés par les tribunaux. Le temps n'efface pas tout et désormais, les familles des victimes veulent des réponses.  « 30 ans plus tard, l'ombre des crimes de l'apartheid continue de planer sur l'Afrique du Sud », un Grand reportage signé Claire Bargelès et Valentin Hugues.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée en public à l'École alsacienne le 7 septembre 2025.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.David Djaïz, entrepreneur et essayiste.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Lucile Schmid, présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.LA VALSE DES PANTINS : COMPORTEMENT DU PERSONNEL POLITIQUE À LA VEILLE DU 8 SEPTEMBREAprès sa présentation mi-juillet, le Premier ministre a de nouveau défendu, le 25 août, son plan de rigueur de 44 milliards d'euros pour le budget 2026, et annoncé qu'il « engagera(it) la responsabilité de son gouvernement[…] pour une clarification » lundi 8 septembre, avec un vote de confiance à l'Assemblée nationale convoquée en session extraordinaire. La France insoumise, le Parti communiste, les Ecologistes, le Rassemblement national et les Ciottistes ont annoncé leur volonté de faire tomber l'actuel gouvernement. Le Parti socialiste ne compte pas non plus voter la confiance. Depuis 1958, ce sont 41 Premiers ministres qui ont sollicité la confiance de l'Assemblée nationale, et qui ont obtenu à chaque fois la majorité absolue des suffrages exprimés.Si François Bayrou veut croire possible ce vote de confiance, le décompte des forces hostiles ne va guère dans son sens : en additionnant les voix du Rassemblement national (RN) et de ses alliés (138), de la gauche (192) et du groupe Libertés, indépendants et outre-mer (LIOT, 23), il existe une majorité de suffrages largement suffisante pour faire chuter le gouvernement. Un tel échec poussera-t-il Emmanuel Macron à demander, lui aussi, une « clarification », en opérant un retour aux urnes avec une nouvelle dissolution de l'Assemblée nationale, quatorze mois après la précédente ? C'est ce que réclame le Rassemblement national, tandis que LFI se prononce pour la destitution du président lequel appelle les siens à se mettre d'accord avec les socialistes et n'apparaît donc pas prêt ni à dissoudre ni à se démettre. On voit d'ailleurs que les candidats à la succession de François Bayrou ne manquent pas. L'échec de son Premier ministre placera Emmanuel Macron en première ligne, désormais dépourvu de paratonnerre. Les appels à sa démission pourraient se multiplier, en particulier lors du mouvement de blocage du 10 septembre.François Bayrou, qui veut éviter l'instabilité, risque-t-il de l'aggraver ? Cette hypothèse est partagée par 63 % des Français, selon un sondage Odoxa-Backbone Consulting pour Le Figaro. Selon le baromètre de la confiance politique 2025 du Centre de recherches politiques de Sciences Po (Cevipof) publié en février dernier, 74 % des Français ne font pas confiance à la politique (+ 4 points par rapport à 2024).COMMENT LA CHINE TIRE PARTI DE L'INSTABILITÉ MONDIALE ET DES DIVISIONS OCCIDENTALESLe 25ème sommet de l'Organisation de coopération de Shanghai (OCS) a réuni à l'invitation du président chinois plus de 20 chefs d'État et de gouvernement. Parmi eux : le Russe Vladimir Poutine, l'Indien Narendra Modi (pour sa première visite en Chine en sept ans), le Turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan, leprésident iranien, les Premiers ministres du Pakistan, de la Malaisie, du Cambodge et du Vietnam, ainsi que les dirigeants de toute l'Asie centrale. Soit les représentants de la moitié de la population terrestre et un quart de la richesse mondiale. Le secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres, s'est aussi rendu à Pékin. Dans son discours d'ouverture, Xi a appelé les États membres à s'opposer à la mentalité de guerre froide, à l'hégémonisme, à la confrontation entre blocs et aux manœuvres d'intimidation, sans citer pour autant les États-Unis. Il a une nouvelle fois poussé en avant son « autre » modèle, censé refléter les nouveaux équilibres internationaux. Xi Jinping entend faire de la Chine un pôle de stabilité dans un contexte mondial instable, alors que les Occidentaux sont divisés. Les promesses militaires mal tenues faites à l'Ukraine par l'Union européenne ont révélé ses faiblesses, quand certains pays de l'axe de la contestation, comme la Corée du Nord, ont joint le geste à la parole en envoyant des armes ou des troupes combattre aux côtés des Russes. Les divisions entre les États-Unis de Trump et les pays européens, dont les valeurs et les visions de la politique s'éloignent, fournissent un nouveau levier à la Chine et à ses amis.Pour le trio Inde-Chine-Russie, les enjeux sont aussi économiques. En raison de la guerre commerciale menée par Trump et des sanctions occidentales visant la Russie, les trois pays ambitionnent de s'affranchir de l'Occident en approfondissant leurs échanges. L'Inde le fait déjà en continuant d'importer massivement du pétrole russe qu'elle paie en roupies et non en dollars. Donald Trump a imposé 50 % de droits de douane sur les produits indiens.La Chine s'affiche comme une puissance stable et raisonnable, garante d'un nouvel ordre mondial plus favorable aux émergents que celui construit par les Occidentaux il y a 80 ans, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Son « coup » diplomatique s'est prolongé le 3 septembre à Pékin avec une grande parade militaire à laquelle a assisté le chef suprême nord-coréen, Kim Jong-un. Parmi ceux que la Chine veut présenter au monde comme ses alliés stratégiques en faveur d'un ordre du monde alternatif sous son égide, se trouvaient également deux États de l'Union européenne et deux États de l'Otan : la Slovaquie, et la Hongrie. Deux pays qui blâment l'Occident pour le déclenchement et la poursuite de la guerre en Ukraine, critiquent les sanctions européennes contre la Russie et réclament la normalisation des relations avec Moscou.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Ralph welcomes Palestinian-American writer, activist, and scientist Susan Abulhawa to discuss the ongoing Palestinian genocide and the evidence that supports a vastly higher death toll in Gaza.Susan Abulhawa is a Palestinian-American writer and political activist. She is the author of Mornings in Jenin—translated into thirty languages—and The Blue Between Sky and Water. Born to refugees of the Six Day War of 1967, she moved to the United States as a teenager, graduated in biomedical science, and established a career in medical science. In July 2001, she founded “Playgrounds for Palestine,” a non-governmental children's organization dedicated to upholding the Right to Play for Palestinian children.I consider this, first of all, immoral. It's disrespecting the Palestinian dead while they kill the Palestinians who are still alive with US bombers and artillery shells and other weapons coming from Washington, D.C. And it underestimates the kind of urgency that should be confronting this genocide.Ralph NaderThis is something that I think generations will study for a very long time to come. The complicity of Western media across the board is no less criminal than the genocide itself.Susan AbulhawaThis is a complete wiping out of life. A total destruction. And it's completely driven by this unfathomable hate and colonial arrogance and Jewish supremacy and this notion of entitlement. Of being favored by God, of being promised some real estate by a real-estate-agent Lord. I mean, it beggars belief the narratives that we see spoken in mainstream outlets and in the halls of power. Truly, it beggars belief.Susan AbulhawaNo, I don't believe Israel has a right to exist. It has never had a right to exist. No political entities have a right to exist. People have a right to exist. They have a right to exist in their own homeland with dignity. People have a right to universal dignity. A supremacist ideology—and that's ultimately what Zionism is predicated on, on supremacy and entitlement for a group of people at the detriment of another group of people—that is not a right, and it should never be a right. It should be anathema, in fact.Susan AbulhawaNews 9/5/25* The Intercept reports AIPAC has lost another Democratic ally in Congress. Congresswoman Deborah Ross of North Carolina has pledged that she will not accept AIPAC campaign contributions in her 2026 reelection bid. In previous elections, Ross has accepted over $100,000 in AIPAC donations. This comes on the heels of another North Carolina Congresswoman, Valerie Foushee – who received over $800,000 in AIPAC contributions – also renouncing donations from the group. As the Intercept notes, in June, the North Carolina Democratic Party adopted a resolution calling for a “complete arms embargo on all military aid to Israel until it ends its apartheid rule of Palestinians.” Dr. Paul McAllister, a reverend and chair of the Interfaith Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party, is quoted saying “AIPAC uses the muscle of their resources to oust anyone who disagrees with them regarding Israel, the conduct of Israel and the atrocities that may be committed by the government of Israel — so it is good that Deborah Ross is willing to recognize and acknowledge that.”* In more Israel news, a new aid flotilla bound for Gaza departed from Genoa, Italy last Sunday. Unlike previous flotillas however, this one carries the protection of a surprising group: Italian dockworkers. According to POLITICO EU, “Speaking at a rally on the docks of Genoa, one of Europe's largest ports, a dockworker representing the USB union said…‘Around mid-September, these boats will arrive near the coast of Gaza. If we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just 20 minutes, we will shut down all of Europe.'” Genoa has expressed unprecedented solidarity with Gaza. A food drive in the city collected “more than 300 tons of humanitarian aid…[and] over 40,000 people, including the city's mayor, Silvia Salis, joined a torchlit march through the streets in support of the [humanitarian flotilla on Saturday].” During the procession, Salis remarked “Every day I am proud to be the mayor of this city, but tonight, if possible, I am even more so.”* In yet another Israel story, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an Israeli cybersecurity apparatchik, who was arrested in August during an undercover operation “targeting child sex predators,” failed to appear for his court date in Nevada. Alexandrovich fled to Israel after being bailed out of jail in the U.S.; his lawyer, David Chesnoff, told the court that he told Alexandrovich not to attend the hearing. Judge Barbara Schifalacqua is now demanding that Alexandrovich appear before the court this week, but it remains to be seen whether he will actually show. This case has become politicized, with liberals and conservatives accusing one another of allowing Alexandrovich to flee the country. The government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu falsely denied that Alexandrovich was arrested at all. This from Al Jazeera.* In more sex predator news, Representatives Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor-Greene held a press conference this week with survivors of abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein to push for full disclosure of the Justice Department's files on the case. At this conference, survivors also said they will release their own list of names. This comes amidst a renewed push for Congressional action spearheaded by the survivors. On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released a batch of records, but most of these have been made public before. The survivors met with lawmakers this week, including Speaker Mike Johnson, who said “I think the Oversight probe is going to be wide and expansive, and they're going to follow the truth wherever it leads,” per the Washington Post. Congresswoman Nancy Mace was also seen emerging from a meeting with the survivors visibly upset, though we do not know what exactly was discussed in this meeting. What is clear is that the Epstein story is not going away any time soon.* In local news, the National Guard has shared a statement with CBS News' Scott MacFarlane in which they boast that, “Guardsmen have cleaned more than 3.2 miles of roadways, collected more than 500 bags of trash, and disposed of three truckloads of plant waste.” Looking beyond the absurdity of deploying the National Guard to pick up trash, Samuel Littauer, Commissioner of ANC 3C01 – a local government district in Washington – crunched the numbers and found that “DC's cleaning crews cover around 81 miles/day for around $150K/day… [while the] National Guard has cleaned a total of 3.2 miles and costs more than $1M/day.” This means, “It's about 170X more cost efficient per mile to fund DC's existing work.”* Yet, despite the staggering inefficiency of the federal occupation – to say nothing of the outrageous, authoritarian government overreach – D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has signed an order outlining how the District will “continue to work with the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, U.S. Park Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, [and] the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,” according to WTOP. This report notes that, “Bowser's order provides a path for working with federal law enforcement…[a] public indication that federal law enforcement could remain in the city indefinitely.” Other D.C. officials, including the District's delegate in Congress Eleanor Holmes Norton, have decried the occupation. Unfortunately, Norton is not even afforded the power of a single vote in Congress. This debacle further underscores the necessity for sovereign statehood for D.C.* In more news of federal law enforcement overreach, Prem Thakker of Zeteo reports new figures that show, “61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.” Thakker goes on to report that “According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.” This unjustifiable mass detention shows no signs of slowing down, with ICE being granted larger and larger budgets and more and more latitude by the administration. The parallels to other shadowy secret police organizations throughout history continue to grow more pronounced.* Labor Notes editor Luis Feliz Leon reports Columbia University is seeking to bust graduate worker unions – at Columbia and beyond. A statement from the union reads “Over the summer, the university expelled and suspended 80 students, eliminated all but ten…graduate instructor jobs, and filed an Unfair Labor Practice Charge that could reshape the future of higher ed.” This marks yet another blow to the august reputation of Columbia, already damaged by their authoritarian overreaction to pro-Palestine protests and their capitulation to borderline extortion by Trump.* In the federal government, Trump continues to attack critical safety regulators. Reuters reports, “Two of the three remaining commissioners at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. nuclear safety watchdog, told a Senate hearing on Wednesday they feel President Donald Trump could fire them if they obstruct his goal to approve reactors faster.” Trump, via executive order, has committed the United States to, “fast-tracking new reactor licenses and quadrupling U.S. nuclear energy capacity by 2050…while also reducing staffing at the NRC.” The Commission is already down to just three members from its usual five and according to this report, “a dozen senior level managers…have left or announced they will leave since January, and…143 staff departed between January and June.” The Commission is currently considering five reactor applications and “expects another 25 to 30 soon.” Whatever one's thoughts are on nuclear energy in general, it is wildly irresponsible and dangerous to consider these reactor proposals by a commission short-staffed and constantly threatened with dismissal.* Finally, the Government Accountability Project has submitted a stunning whistleblower complaint on behalf of Chuck Borges, Chief Data Officer at the Social Security Administration. This complaint concerns “serious data security lapses, evidently orchestrated by DOGE officials, currently employed as SSA employees, that risk the security of over 300 million Americans' Social Security data…including apparent systemic data security violations, uninhibited administrative access to highly sensitive production environments, and potential violations of federal privacy laws by DOGE personnel.” The most critical violation is the DOGE staffers' move to “create a live copy of the country's Social Security information in a cloud environment that circumvents oversight.” As this complaint explains, “This vulnerable cloud environment is effectively a live copy of the entire country's Social Security information…that…lacks any security oversight from SSA or tracking to determine who is accessing or has accessed the copy of this data.” This includes “all data submitted in an application for a United States Social Security card—including the name of the applicant, place and date of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, parents' names and social security numbers, phone number, address, and other personal information.” If this data were to be compromised – as is eminently possible given the unsecured and unsupervised nature of the cloud copy, “Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital healthcare and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for re-issuing every American a new Social Security Number.” This staggering degree of carelessness and incompetence is almost unbelievable, if not for the fact that it comports perfectly with the DOGE track record. We can only hope lawmakers and regulators take swift action to shut down this ticking timebomb of data before it's too late.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

When the next pandemic hits, will we be ready?That's the question at the center of University of Minnesota epidemiologist Mike Osterholm's new book, “The Big One.” And his answer is sobering.Osterholm joined Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas for a blunt and personal assessment of what went right and what went wrong during the COVID-19 pandemic. He's insistent that if we don't learn the lessons of the last pandemic, we will be even less prepared for the next one.Here are five key takeaways from their conversation.1. Public health communication can't just be factual.Osterholm is the founding director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and has decades of experience tracking and researching outbreaks. He said the big lesson for public health leaders is that kindness and humility have to be forefront as they communicate.Humility is important, he told Miller, because “people mistakenly think that science is truth. It's not. Science is the pursuit of truth.” He said the scientific community needs to do a better job explaining what we know now and how that might change as research continues.But the bigger lesson, for him, was that a “just the facts, ma'am” approach isn't effective. Public health messages need to resonate with people on a personal level.Early in the pandemic, he broke down crying on his own podcast after a close colleague's death. That human moment ended up being a connection point for people.“It wasn't about the factual stuff I talked about,” Osterholm said. “It was about relating to people on that emotional level of what we were experiencing and how we reach out to each other. So the podcast became more and more of a blending of the science — what's in the head — with concern for what's in the heart.”2. When we know what stops transmission, go all-in on that. Once we knew that COVID-19 was an aerosol, Osterholm said, it should have shifted how we thought about transmission.“We spent millions of dollars on useless things like Plexiglass shields. I kept telling people: If you can put a cigarette on this side of it and smell it, you're getting hit.”The only thing that really stops COVID-19 is a well-fitting N95 mask, said Osterholm. Instead of wasting time and money on hygiene theater and cloth masks, we should have “initiated a Manhattan Project-like activity to find the same kind of respiratory protection in something that's wearable, something that could be washed and reused over and over again, something that people could communicate in and not feel claustrophobic.”“And do you know how much we've invested in that?” he asked. “Zero.”3. Mandates aren't a magic solution.While he absolutely believes the COVID vaccines saved lives and are safe, Osterholm isn't sold on the efficacy of mandates.“In some cases, I think we set ourselves back with a mandate,” he told Miller. “If you want to turn someone off so you never have a chance to reach them, tell them they have to do it.”A better way, he believes, is to give people agency.“What you find is, that if you actually work with people and say, ‘OK, you're not going to get it now, but let me give you more information,' you actually get more people vaccinated. And the whole point for me is: I want the most number of people vaccinated.”4. The lack of a nonpartisan reports to examine the errors made during COVID-19 is glaring.Osterholm strongly believes there should be a federal, 9/11 Commission-style report that looks back at COVID-19. He and his coauthor, Mark Olshaker, wrote “The Big One” because there isn't one.“We wanted to make certain there was a record somewhere of what happened or didn't happen and what … could have made a difference,” he told Miller.One example: Osterholm contends widespread lockdowns were ineffective and crude.“The most important thing was having good medical care, and how are you going to get good medical care if your hospital is at 140 percent capacity? You can't.”Instead, he said, we should have used strategic “snow days” with the goal to keep hospital beds under 90 to 95 percent occupancy.“If we could do that, we could get good medical care that would make a difference” in saving lives, he said, without stalling the economy or forcing kids to do school at home.5. We are going backward on preparedness for the next pandemic.But as sobering as the past is, Osterholm was most dire about what comes next.“We are living in the most dangerous time that public health has experienced,” he told Miller. “[The current administration] has taken the public health system as we know it and gutted it in this country. [Look at] what's happened at the CDC this past week, with the firing of the new director who has been there a month, the loss of the senior people there, the fact that the one redeeming, hopeful lesson we learned during the pandemic is how important vaccines could be. And now we have stopped all research on the one vaccine that holds the best future for us with influenza pandemics and COVID pandemics. We live in a very anti-science world right now. And I never thought that I would see the day that the CDC, the NIH and the FDA are enemies of public health, as opposed to the protectors of it.”Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Do you know, with certainty, how you would react in a time of extreme stress or crisis?   As a 22 year old woman in San Francisco, Betty had not yet decided on a career path. So, while she was figuring out what she wanted to do, she worked at the factory owned by her parents. The factory produced beef jerky. It wasn't really her dream job, but it kept her busy at the time, and she also felt good about helping her parents in their business.   One day, Betty's workplace suddenly became very dangerous. Some people came in to rob the family business – and they were waving guns around. Betty was out front, and one of the first employees to come in contact with the robbers. She never panicked, even as one of the men held a gun to her head. Instead, she calmly called her dad, who was in the back, and said, “Dad, we're being robbed”. The robbers got some money and left, and no one was physically injured.   Betty's nerves of steel would come into play again years later. She was one of the flight attendants on American Airlines flight 11, on September 11, 2001. Today you'll hear her voice, and you'll learn why the 9/11 Commission declared Betty a hero.     Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/228   Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.
