Six Lincoln-Way East High School students accused of racially harassing Homewood-Flossmoor students at a football game have withdrawn from the school rather than continue through the expulsion process.
You stayed late again, the service is still short-staffed, and when you finally say something, the answer is: you just need to be more efficient. More resilient. That's the go-to explanation for almost everything hard about residency — but what if the problem isn't your resilience at all? In the finale of Beyond the Match, Mckenzie Roebuck, Carl Engelke, Michael Brinton, and Omer Hassan of CoSEF look downstream at what happens after residents match: working conditions, culture and mental health, the practical barriers that make transferring so difficult, why residents may not trust existing reporting systems, and what real accountability and resident voice would require.Hosts: Dr. Mckenzie Roebuck, CoSEF BTK Lead, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, mckenzie.rowe@inova.org Dr. Carl Engelke, The Ohio State University, Carl.Engelke@osumc.edu Dr. Michael Brinton, Medical College of Wisconsin, mbrinton@mcw.edu Dr. Omer Hassan, University of Calgary/Alberta Children's Hospital, omerh91@gmail.com CoSEF: X @surgedfellows, cosef.org Learning objectives: Summarize the real problems the congressional report identifies in working conditions, mistreatment reporting, and resident mental health Distinguish necessary difficulty in residency training from preventable system dysfunction, and describe its relationship to resident well-being and reporting Explain the practical barriers to resident mobility, including position availability, training requirements, funding, visa status, professional risk, and stigma Describe local and national accountability mechanisms — including program reporting, GMECs, ACGME pathways, and unions — and the limitations of each Identify strategies to strengthen resident voice, psychological safety, anti-retaliation protections, and institutional accountability rather than relying on individual resilience alone.

What happens when a cleaning employee reports harassment—and is your company prepared to handle it correctly?
Ryan Pearcy is back in the chair, joined by Heather Smith and Indi Tatla for a bumper news episode, most of it about Xero and none of it comfortable. It starts with the reel. A paid influencer told her followers she had fed her Xero data into Claude and no longer needed the 800 pounds a month she spent on an accountant, and the community went off. Indi Tatla walks through the responses: Rachel Harris on how tightly brand partnerships are actually controlled, Alex Falcon arguing the profession should level up rather than take it personally, and Damon Anderson on the capability, accountability and trust clocks all running at different speeds. Ryan Pearcy has no sympathy for the influencer, then argues the thing that has really annoyed firms is not the advert. It is auto bank rec, and every vendor promising a business owner they can automate everything, leaving the firm to unpick it at the year end and charge more for the privilege. It was not a one-off week. Aaron Patrick found Syft Analytics reports going out under his practice's name without his approval, since switched off. Xero built accounts and tax filing into the product after Companies House closed the free route in March, then marketed it straight at business owners without telling the firms holding those clients. The panel keeps coming back to Ben Richmond on stage in New Orleans, promising Xero would never sell directly to your clients. Heather Smith brings in a long post from a former Xero employee arguing the board swallowed the Rule of 40 and built an executive incentive structure around it that cost them the customer. That runs into the AGM, where 70 per cent of shareholders voted against the remuneration report following an increase to Sukhinder Singh Cassidy's target pay. Ryan Pearcy thinks the restructure is defensible and the timing is what stings. Indi Tatla asks whether the conversation would be happening at all if the chief executive were a man. Xero gave the show its position directly, and it is read out in full. Elsewhere, Sage launched Salary Payments, so Sage Payroll customers can pay staff from their own bank account with no wallet and no second login, powered by Crezco, who now sit behind Xero, iplicit and Sage alike. Ryan Pearcy wonders what has happened to Modulr. Indi Tatla runs the employment law timetable, with the tribunal window doubling on 1 October, the duty to prevent third party harassment landing on 30 October and the unfair dismissal changes arriving in January 2027, and flags the Employment Hero webinar on it. Also covered: Heather Smith's ask of conference organisers to publish a harassment policy. Accrual acquiring Puzzle's accounting firm business on the same day as everything else, and almost nobody noticing. Private equity buying accounting firms alongside the software it already funds. And how a profession without a podcast is meant to make itself heard by the vendors.

Jonathan Cohler presents a newly submitted paper using mass conservation, isotopic signatures (delta 13C), and multiple datasets to apply the Keeling relation and infer a consistent intercept near -13.2‰ across sites and time spans. He argues this makes fossil fuels (signature ~-28‰) at most 26% of net atmospheric CO2 change and, using preindustrial constraints, essentially ~0–1.3%, contradicting claims by IPCC, NASA, NOAA, EPA, and the CO2 Coalition. He says CO2 residence time is ~3.8 years and attributes rising CO2 to natural temperature-driven ocean/soil outgassing. He criticizes the CO2 Coalition for conflating accounting identities with causation, describes harassment, and says he resigned.00:00 New Paper Claim01:29 Three Inputs Setup03:25 Isotope Signatures 10106:05 Keeling Relation Explained10:17 Datasets And Intercepts13:38 Solving For Fossil Fraction22:22 Why Fossil Dominance Fails25:16 Rejecting The Conclusion28:04 Carbon Cycle Turnover31:45 What Drives CO2 Rise33:56 Ancient CO2 And Whataboutism36:53 CO2 Coalition Errors Teaser37:38 Accounting vs Causation39:23 Feynman on Conservation40:37 What Proves Causality41:37 Atmospheric Balance Equation42:53 Coalition Paper Misreads46:25 Molecules Not Labeled48:08 Residuals Aren't Attribution49:56 Isotopes Discriminate Sources51:27 Airborne Fraction Fallacy53:41 Retention and Cycle Time56:02 Harassment and Resignation01:03:18 CO2 Forcing and Policy Costs01:08:51 X Feedback and Contact01:13:38 Wrap Up and Linkshttps://x.com/cohlerhttps://papers.jcohler.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

A convincing lie no longer needs to look suspicious. It can appear in a familiar social media feed, come from someone who seems real, or arrive as a video that looks almost impossible to fake. By the time doubt sets in, the post may already have been shared thousands of times. Few people understand that online environment better than today's guest. Nina Jankowicz has spent more than a decade studying what she calls the bad things that happen on the internet. She is an internationally recognized expert on disinformation and online harassment. She was also named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in AI. Nina explains how disinformation spreads and why emotional content travels so quickly. She talks about online harassment, doxxing, romance scams, and AI-generated impersonation. The conversation also covers ways to check questionable information and protect your personal data. Just as important, Nina shares how to step away from trolls before they take over your time and attention.

Send us Fan MailNobody likes a bully! One of the reasons myself and many others became cops was to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. That's what cops should do! But, what happens when your own sheriff's department turns on you and becomes the bully? What do you do when your bosses and teammates turn on you? Where do you turn?My returning guest today, former Sheriff's Deputy Bridget Truxillo, was a sheriff's deputy in Florida for years. She worked undercover in the narcotics unit and was also the department's first and only female SWAT operator. Unfortunately, she was the victim of workplace harassment, bullying, and discrimination. She just ‘took it' until her own department drove her to resign. Bridget Truxillo went on to the next chapter of her life and became an attorney. That firsthand experience is why she founded Lady Law Shield, a firm built specifically to give law enforcement officers and first responders legal guidance on the employment issues they run into at work — things like workplace disputes, retaliation, and the fallout that can follow difficult decisions made on the job. Bridget works at the point where the job and the law collide, helping officers protect their careers while making sense of a system most attorneys don't understand from the inside. This conversation takes lots of unexpected twists and turns that I think you will find useful if you are a cop or if you want an insider look into the confusing and sometimes cruel world of law enforcement. It was a treat talking to Bridget again and hearing her amazing story of resilience and how she is of service to the law enforcement community.In today's episode, we discuss:· Bridget's beginnings in law enforcement.· What her rookie year looked like. · Being brought into undercover work after only having one year on the job.· How and why she tried out and earned a spot on the SWAT team.· How was she treated being the only female on the SWAT team? · Being the victim of workplace harassment and discrimination and how she dealt with it.· What led to her decision to resign from law enforcement? · How can we as cops transition from being a cop to civilian life seamlessly? Is it possible?· What she sees as the biggest mistakes cops make transitioning into civilian life.· Her work as an attorney, founding Lady Law Shield, helping first responders who are victims of workplace harassment and discrimination.All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Visit Bridget at her law firm, Lady Law Shield.Check out Bridget at the following conferences!Rise: Women in Policing | San Diego | September 2026 Tuesday, September 8, 2026 to Friday, September 11, 2026.

Welcome back to Blended! Today, we're taking on a difficult topic – workplace harassment. You might think that, in 2026, with the policies and procedures, DEI focuses and HR departments so many companies have in place, that workplace harassment is rare. But, unfortunately, you'd be wrong. Recent data released in the 2026 State of Workplace Harassment Report reveals that workplace harassment doesn't just remain prevalent, but that it also often goes unreported and unaddressed. So we have to ask ourselves: why? And how do we drive change in a climate that seems to be moving backwards? Today, a brand new panel will be diving into what workplace harassment really means, what it can look like, and establishing the right polices, reporting pathways, cultures and boundaries to make an impact for individuals, team and organizations. IN THIS EPISODE: [00.57] Introductions to our Blended panelists. · Kidde – Human Resources Executive · Victoria – ADHD and Women's Coach · Emeka – Operations and Distribution Leader · Sherica – CEO at Polished Consulting [09.40] The group explore what workplace harassment means, what it can look like, and what recent data released in the 2026 State of Workplace Harassment Report reveals about the realities of workplace harassment. · Non-consensual/unwanted · Microaggressions · Subtlety · Passive aggression · Constant 'prodding' · Violation of/infringing upon boundaries · Physicality · Language · Digital/social media · Intimidation · Isolation/Exclusion · Threatening · Safe spaces · Authenticity · Power · Reporting pathways · Cultures that prioritize productivity over people · Ability to say/hear bad things · Behavior vs character · Feedback · Taking things personally · Immigrant experience · Impact of intersectionality · Pros and cons of corporate America · Culture · Leadership · Intent "It's that unwelcome conduct that undermines your dignity, safety and sense of belonging. It's not limited to extreme behaviors, it's often very subtle. It's those persistent patterns that create hostile and intimidating work environments." Kidde "These high numbers reflect not only the behaviors themselves, but systemic issues and cultural norms – to be disrespectful, to erode boundaries, to take away people's ability to say no… These numbers speak to the imbalance of power." Sherica [43.29] The panel share their personal experiences, and the challenges of effective reporting. · Victoria's experience of sexual harassment · Retaliation · Accountability · Ego · Powerlessness · Identity · Remote working · Role of HR · Blame · Not wanting to be 'a problem' · Emotional intelligence · Harassment within specific groups, eg. women of color · Diversity · Learning from each other "It eroded all trust, professionally… And there was ego from my perspective – that had never happened to me before… I was affected by that identity change." Victoria "Normalize checking in with people about their day-to-day experience. Be very intentional about asking specific questions about work environment and culture… Normalize being present when there are no problems, so people feel comfortable coming to you when there are." Sherica [01.05.24] The group discuss policies and whether or not they actually make an impact, how people can communicate their boundaries in the workplace, and how organizations can shape robust policies and healthy cultures. · How much policies are observed, from the top down · Role of external consultants · Trauma-informed practices · Empathy · Training · Clarity/simplicity · Definition of prohibited behavior in context with examples · Investigation timelines · Consequences · Organization-sponsored therapy · Victimization · Bias · Conflict resolution · Team culture vs organizational culture · Fear · Mutual respect · Global culture · Leadership · Collaboration · Change management · Intercultural communication · Allyship "Policies are important and most organizations have them. The issue can be that policies aren't often followed… Every single person within an organization creates the culture." Kidde "Your polices need to be so clear that a third-grader can understand them." Sherica "If we're going to continue working in a remote world across cultures, intercultural communication is going to take up more and more space. We have to make space for differences." Victoria [01.29.11] The panel sum up their thoughts from today's discussion. "All of this work lives at the intersection of policy, leadership behavior and day-to-day culture."

The fact that the US Congress is absolutely rotten with creeps is one of the worst-kept secrets in Washington. From former Representatives like California Democrat Eric Swalwell and Texas Republican Tony Gonzales, to sitting lawmakers like North Carolina Republican Representative Chuck Edwards – it turns out sexual misconduct is bipartisan, and so is the pushback. A bipartisan effort fronted by Florida Republican Kat Cammack and New Mexico Democrat Teresa Leger Fernandez aims to rein in the frathouse behavior of their colleagues.

Listen to today's podcast... We all have a responsibility to do something when we see harassment happening. But too often we turn the other way. We don't know what to do. We don't know what to say. When we intervene, we don't just reduce trauma for the person being harassed., we also start to chip away at a culture that allows this harassment to be so prevalent. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Building Resiliency and celebrating Bystander Awareness Month: These five ‘D' strategies may be just the thing to help you intervene. Distract – interrupt the incident. You could engage directly with the person who is being targeted. Start a conversation or ask a question about something completely unrelated. Or you may accidentally-on-purpose spill your coffee. Direct - You may want to directly respond to harassment by naming what is happening or confronting the harasser. This may be risky: the harasser may redirect their abuse towards you and may escalate the situation, so use this with caution. Delegate – Look for assistance from someone in authority, like a supervisor, bus driver, security guard or front desk attendant. Document – It may be helpful to record the incident, but keep safety in mind at all times. And never post the video without the person that was targeted's permission. Delay – Even if you can't act in the moment, you can make a difference for the person who has been harassed by checking in on them after the fact. Ask them if there's any way you can support them. it is important that we show up for one another as active bystanders. This lets the person who is being targeted know that they are not alone. However, in any interaction always prioritize your own safety while intervening. If you like today's wellness tips, let me know. Looking for resources to build your resiliency?

"I hate injustice with a passion. And when it was happening to me, I thought — why is this happening? Am I doing something wrong? You start to wonder about your confidence, you start to wonder about your capabilities." — Colleen McAvoy Colleen McAvoy had a long, stable government career — until three narcissistic managers came in succession and changed everything. She started shaking. Her heart palpitated. She stopped sleeping. HR didn't help. The lawyer said it would take years. The organisation's own counselling service told her plainly: get out, this place has a bad reputation. So she left. What followed is a story about what comes after — and what you can build when you stop tolerating what's tearing you apart. Colleen's book Bullies Begone offers tools, strategies, and a genuine blueprint for anyone navigating harassment or discrimination at work, whether they choose to stay and fight or leave and rebuild. Raymond and Colleen cover the uncomfortable ground together: whether victims can unconsciously draw bullies toward them, why organisations often fail the people they're supposed to protect, and why walking away — far from giving up — can be the most powerful act of self-respect available. The workplace bullying conversation nobody wants to have. Worth every minute. Learn more and connect with Colleen McAvoy: Search "Bullies Begone by Colleen McAvoy" on Amazon to find the book.

The Army is overhauling how it treats discrimination and harassment complaints. Beginning later this year, the service will no longer allow soldiers to anonymously file allegations of discrimination or harassment with military equal opportunity offices. Instead, EO offices can process claims while keeping soldiers' personal information confidential. Troops who opt to file a confidential claim will not be required to notify their command or initiate a complaint that could lead to an investigation. Commanders may still act on anonymous allegations that warrant further review.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have some questions about a Spartanburg County Police report… made by none other than Debbie Barbier… When Greg Parker's attorney Deborah Barbier told Spartanburg police she'd been “harassed” in a hotel lobby the morning of Mandy's contempt hearing on June 22, 2026, the department did something our team has never seen done so thoroughly for a harassment complaint made by a woman: it investigated. Multiple officers. Multiple weeks. Untold public monies. Search warrants signed by magistrate judges with no explanation of what probable cause existed — including a search of Mandy's Marriott room records and private guest information divulged over the phone. Hours of surveillance footage later, police could not locate the confrontation Barbier described, and the case is now listed as "inactive". We're revisiting what South Carolina's harassment statute actually says, and ask why protected first amendment activities keep getting recast as crimes… and why behavior matching the statute is disregarded. Then we relook at McClatchy reporter John Monk's coverage of Mandy's contempt proceedings through the prism of his 44 year old son's federal indictment on child sexual abuse material charges — to which Monk Jr. has pleaded not guilty. We have questions… Let's Dive In…

Mary and Andrew begin this week by addressing the Department of Justice dropping the subpoenas they ordered against New York Times journalists who reported on security concerns regarding President Trump's new Qatari-government-gifted Air Force One jet, noting that the attempt to subpoena the writers speaks to a failed effort of “chilling and intimidating” other reporters. But still, there were even more subpoenas: last week, the DOJ filed subpoenas for 14 major law firms as part of an ongoing lawsuit between the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Executive Office of the President, which Mary and Andrew believe is an effort by the government to try and “get the law firms to pressure the ABA to drop this lawsuit.” They also touch on an update to journalist Katie Phang's lawsuit against the federal government over Epstein files redactions and address Jack Smith's criminal referral by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan. Plus, two immigration-related cases: a judge's decision to throw out a DOJ lawsuit challenging Minnesota immigration laws and an appeal court's decision to reverse a lower court decision releasing Pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi.

Colin McGinn joins to discuss sexual ethics on campus. Drawing on thought experiments and his own experiences in academia, McGinn argues that universities too often conflate harassment with consensual relationships while overstating the role of power imbalances. He explains why he believes current policies can undermine academic freedom, due process, and the proper limits of institutional authority.Chapters: [00:00] Introduction[00:16] A Thought Experiment[08:19] Microenticements[12:09] Harassment vs. Consensual Relationships[22:38] Reporting Relationships[36:06] The Power Imbalance[45:06] MeToo, Cancellation, and Academia[49:53] Devil's Advocate[1:00:17] Should Universities Regulate Romance?[1:10:58] Final Reflections

July 21, 2026 - State lawmakers are looking to update the penal code's definition of harassment to include different forms of online communications. We talk about the legislation with Jennifer Friedman, senior director of family law and policy at Sanctuary for Families.
Nancy Guthrie's family got fake ransom demands while search teams looked for her, and the man behind them just walked out of federal court with probation. Tony Brueski unpacks the plea deal, the sentence, and why it's landing as a slap in the face to everyone who's followed this case. Harassment. That's what the four-million-dollar ransom note and the follow-up apology letter got reduced to. Five years of probation, every count running concurrently. Retired FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer put it plainly on the record: this outcome is a travesty, and it could invite more of the copycat extortion attempts investigators have started calling the TMZ Twelve. The apology letter is its own strange piece of this. Sent only to local television stations, it called Nancy's death an accident, a claim nobody investigating this case has confirmed. Both that letter and the original ransom note were reportedly traced to the same IP address, one of the only real leads on the table. Porch Guy, another person connected to the case, still hasn't been identified or taken in. And the contradictions don't stop with the hoaxer. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has spent this case fielding pointed questions about his own record, including one moment where he told a reporter to enjoy his hit piece instead of answering. The FBI and the Sheriff's Department keep pointing at each other over who's actually running point, and a retired agent says there's real disagreement inside the Bureau over whether some of the evidence holds up. Even the physical evidence has a strange trail. One key item reportedly flew to Florida and back before anyone bothered running it against a database, which is not exactly standard operating procedure. Nancy Guthrie is still missing.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Somewhere in this Nancy Guthrie case, the truth got lost in the paperwork, and Tony Brueski found it while combing through the record. The man who sent fake ransom demands to her family, while search teams were trying to find her, just took a plea deal that looks more like a parking ticket than a threat wired straight into a grieving family's phone. Harassment. That's the charge he pleaded to. Two years capped at the federal level, but he walked away with five years of probation and every count running concurrently. Retired FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer called it a travesty on the record, and she's not wrong to worry, investigators are already tracking a dozen copycat extortion attempts agents have nicknamed the TMZ Twelve. Then there's the four-million-dollar ransom note, the strange apology letter mailed only to local television stations calling Nancy's death an accident, and the fact that both were reportedly traced back to the same IP address, one of the few solid threads investigators actually have. Porch Guy, the person connected to the case, still hasn't been identified or picked up. Meanwhile, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is fielding his own set of questions. Discrepancies in his record, a reporter pushing back, and an answer that amounted to telling him to enjoy his hit piece. The FBI and the Sheriff's Department can't agree on jurisdiction, can't agree on which ransom notes are real, and reportedly disagree internally over whether some of the evidence even holds up. One of the case's most valuable physical clues reportedly flew to Florida and back before investigators ever ran it against a database, a detail that hasn't gotten nearly the attention it deserves given everything riding on it. Nancy Guthrie is still missing. This is where the case actually stands.
