    400+ Anti-LGBTQ Bills: Why Pride Month Still Matters Many people ask: “Why do we still need Pride Month?” After all, same-sex marriage is legal. LGBTQ people are visible in media, business, and politics. Haven't we won? The answer is no. As Pride Month begins, LGBTQ Americans—especially transgender youth—are facing the most significant legal and political backlash in decades. While marriage equality remains intact nationwide, the fight has shifted from expanding rights to defending them. More than 400 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced across dozens of states, while over 100 anti-trans laws have been enacted in recent years. From healthcare restrictions and sports bans to book censorship and attacks on legal recognition, the LGBTQ community is confronting a coordinated effort to roll back hard-won protections.

Meanwhile, Nigel Farage faces backlash for defending a controversial preacher accused of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. Plus, the endless “bathroom wars” continue as another anti-trans law takes effect, Senegal accuses the West of “imposing homosexuality,” and an openly gay 8th grader from Kentucky goes viral for all the right reasons.

    In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Caterina Tino, ACT Alliance's Representative to the United Nations. Growing up in Rome, Caterina was shaped by a family that lived their faith through service, a Scout movement that emphasized citizenship and responsibility, and an early encounter with the world of international development that sparked a lifelong calling. What followed was a journey marked by determination, unexpected turns, and more than a few setbacks along the way.   The conversation explores how values become action, the lessons learned from working in Kosovo during a period of reconstruction, the realities of building a career in international cooperation, and the role faith communities can play in addressing today's global challenges. Caterina also reflects on rejection, resilience, family, and why creating change often begins with small acts of service and solidarity.   Caterina is an international development professional with expertise in human rights, advocacy, and partnerships. Prior to joining ACT Alliance, she worked with UNICEF, UNFPA, and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), and contributed to the global civil society campaign that helped secure adoption of the UN Arms Trade Treaty. Caterina holds a Master's degree in Human Rights and Conflict Management from the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Caterina and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

Drawing on lessons from the history of peacemaking in Sudan and comparative insights from other civil wars, the paper reflects on pathways toward ending the conflict, including the urgency of de-escalation, the need for sustained, long-term peacebuilding efforts, and the importance of Sudanese leadership and ownership in shaping a durable peace process.

    In Autocrats vs. Democrats, Michael McFaul examines the aftermath of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, critiquing the U.S. decision to "look away" from human rights for economic gain. He argues that while economic engagement enriched American capitalism, the theory that economic growth would naturally lead to democratization in China failed. Drawing on George Shultz's memoirs, McFaul advocates for a dual-track diplomacy where security and economic interests are pursued alongside human rights. He warns that Western complacency following the Cold War led to a missed opportunity to consolidate democratic institutions in emerging states. Values must remain central to foreign policy.

    Israel's Massive Pride Celebration vs Nigeria's LGBTQ Crackdown | This Gay Week This week on This Gay Week, Karel and journalist Scott Jacobsen report from Kyiv to break down the biggest LGBTQ stories happening around the world — from celebration and visibility to fear and persecution. In Nigeria and Cameroon, LGBTQ prisoners are still being jailed simply for existing. The organization Project Not Alone is working to literally buy freedom for some detainees, but how does that system work, and why are people being abandoned by the world community? Meanwhile, Israel is hosting a massive four-day Pride celebration in Tel Aviv near the Dead Sea, drawing LGBTQ tourists from around the globe. But with tensions exploding across the Middle East, is now the right time for a major international Pride event? Plus: • Marcia Gay Harden delivers an important message for mothers everywhere • LGBTQ youth are damaging their health in record numbers using a legal substance — what is happening? • Global LGBTQ headlines, politics, culture, and human rights stories you need to know Karel and Scott bring perspective, passion, and global insight to the stories shaping LGBTQ life around the world.

    Some say sports and politics should be kept separate — that athletes should just “stick to sports.” But for others, politics and sports can't be separated at all.This week, we sit down with Kevin Blackistone, an award-winning national sports columnist who focuses on the intersection of sports and politics. We'll talk about why he believes it's impossible to separate the two, how the Trump administration is showing up in the sports world today, and how athletes respond when they're told to “shut up and dribble.”Then we'll hear from an athlete who's made a name for himself by speaking out.

    Send us Fan MailA well known brand drops into my inbox, praises my TikTok, then asks for a full video turnaround within hours and never once mentions payment. That one email opens a bigger conversation about workplace boundaries, self-worth, and why I refuse to build any part of my life on “maybe there'll be future work”. If you are a content creator, freelancer, or employee who is tired of being squeezed for more while being offered less, you will recognise the pattern instantly. We talk rates, budgets, scope, urgency fees, and why milestone payments matter when brands want to use your assets for months. Then we take it into the workplace, where negotiation is not just about money, it is about power. I share how I approach non-negotiables, from day rate to travel to office attendance, and why I would rather turn down a role than accept terms that guarantee disrespect later. We also sit with a line that hit hard: “The workplace loves Black women's resilience, just not our boundaries.” We unpack how resilience gets weaponised into over performance, emotional labour, and silence, and how to make resilience work for us instead of against us. From there, we zoom out to the UK mood after the local elections and the rise of Reform UK, looking at why people vote from pain when rent, bills, wages and NHS access feel broken. We touch on immigration rhetoric, the European Convention on Human Rights, indefinite leave to remain, and the danger of making rights conditional. Finally, we lighten the angle without losing the depth, using the AP x Swatch collaboration to explore luxury marketing psychology, aspiration culture, and why “access” sells even during a cost of living crisis. If this conversation sharpens your thinking, subscribe, share it with someone who needs firmer boundaries, and leave a review so more people can find Toya Talks.Sponsorships - Email me:  hello@toyatalks.comTikTok:  toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talkshttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic StarStationary Company: Sistah ScribbleInstagram: @sistahscribbleWebsite: www.sistahscribble.com Email: hello@sistahscribble.com

In his own words: After graduating college in 1971 from The Johns Hopkins University, I was off to Washington DC to stop the war, working with various peace groups and US Senators. I published two books -- Violence: The Crisis of American Confidence (1971) and Armed and Alone: The American Security Dilemma (1972). In New York City, following my training at the New York University-Bellevue Medical Center, I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Fordham University in 1985. I then practiced, with a focus on children and adolescents. In 1989, I left the gruff embrace of Manhattan for the tender hold of the New Mexico desert to teach, practice, speak, and write. All along the way, I have been devoted to causes: children, peace, social justice, human rights.

    Children Are Listening: Hate Speech, Trump & America's Growing Violence Problem Two teenagers carried out a horrifying hate crime at a mosque in San Diego, killing three people. But the bigger question is: where does this kind of hatred come from? Children are not born hating Muslims, LGBTQ people, immigrants, or people of color. They learn it — from adults, media, politicians, social media, and the culture around them. Today, hate speech is treated like entertainment. Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, racism — people dismiss it as “just opinions,” until violence happens. Then everyone acts shocked. But words matter, especially when young people are listening. And no public figure in America has normalized division and cruelty more than Donald Trump. Whether it's immigrants, LGBTQ people, Muslims, or political enemies, the message spreads far beyond rallies and cable news. The children are listening. And sometimes, they act. Plus: The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas is shutting down, and the reason says a lot about America's economy. Businesses are increasingly abandoning average Americans and focusing only on wealthier consumers. What does that say about where the country is headed?

    Scientology recruitment rarely looks the way people imagine. There is no shadowy figure pulling you into a back room. The process is warm, and, for a curious young person, entirely easy to be “handled” and sucked in. Amir Essalhi was 18 years old and studying film when he first walked into the Edinburgh organization in late 2022. He had never heard of Hubbard. He did not know who David Miscavige was. He knew one thing: He was into being an aspiring filmmaker, and loved Tom Cruise. When he was shown a Scientology recruitment video with Tom Cruise his curiosity to know more was the tool used to manipulate him. Less than two years later, Amir was running the group's social media strategy across TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, delivering public lectures, and serving as one of the senior executives of the only Scientology organization in Scotland's capital. He was 19. I spoke with Amir twice, first on a live stream, and then on my Cults, Culture & Coercion podcast. What he shared in both conversations is something every young person, and every parent of a young person, needs to hear. Scientology has been all over some social media channels as some people were running into Scientology buildings and posting the video of their illegal trespassing. I have been vocal criticizing this as has Leah Remini- whose original show I was on as a guest. Many of the platforms Scientology uses to reach young people carry no Scientology branding at all. Amir confirmed that promotional materials would sometimes run under names like "Dianetics" or localized event names, with "Scientology" buried in fine print or absent entirely. The group also uses front organizations, including Narconon (drug rehabilitation), the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, and Drug Free World, none of which disclose their Scientology ties in their public-facing materials. Destructive authoritarian cults know that if they give fully informed consent, no one would ever get involved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Are you a person? Sounds like a simple question, but it isn’t. Until pretty recently, the idea that everyone was a human in the same way was almost unthinkable. But the world order that established universal human rights is crumbling. The question of who or what counts as a person is getting harder to answer. Companies have rights to religious freedom – but Muslims detained in Guantanamo Bay don't. Rivers have been granted legal personhood in New Zealand. In Ecuador, anyone can sue on behalf of Nature. Who and what gets rights is expanding, even as good old fashioned Human Rights are failing. What replaces the old politics of personhood is up for grabs. And some LLMs have already begun arguing for their own personhood. Lisa Siraganian is the author of The Problem of Personhood: Giving Rights to Trees, Corporations and Robots and a Professor of Comparative Thought and Literature at John Hopkins University. She spoke to Richard Hames about the politics of personhood and whether or not we should believe Claude's arguments that it should be treated as a person.

    There may be one in your town. A charming restaurant with handcrafted furniture, homemade bread, and staff who seem unusually warm and attentive. There are at least thirty-three Yellow Deli locations worldwide, and every one of them is reportedly run by unpaid members of the Twelve Tribes — a group the SPLC classifies as a Christian fundamentalist cult.In this episode, Tony Brueski asks why the Twelve Tribes is still operating after fifty years of allegations spanning child discipline concerns, forced labor claims, racial doctrine documented as white supremacist, and survivor testimony from three continents.The answer involves a legal framework that makes intervention in religious communities nearly impossible without immediate, provable harm to a specific individual. The 1984 Vermont raid was ruled unconstitutional. The public defender from the case later joined the group. Germany acted on hidden camera footage in 2013. The European Court of Human Rights upheld the decision. The United States has produced a different outcome on the same evidence.The group's financial model is self-sustaining. Its recruitment pipeline runs through its restaurants. Its members are reportedly trained not to cooperate with outside inquiries. And as recently as April 2026, the group closed one Yellow Deli location and opened another in a new community.The Twelve Tribes is not a historical case. It is a present-tense reality operating in neighborhoods across America. The question is whether knowing what you now know changes what you do the next time you see the sign.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    The evidence fills bookshelves. It spans hidden camera footage, court records, SPLC reports, FBI interviews, investigative journalism, and survivor memoirs. The group's own published materials include a child discipline manual and racial teachings documented as white supremacist. And the Yellow Deli is still open.In this episode, Tony Brueski examines why the Twelve Tribes has operated for five decades without facing lasting institutional consequence in the United States. The legal shield is real — religious freedom protections make intervention in communal groups extraordinarily difficult. The financial model is self-sustaining — unpaid labor generating revenue through consumer-facing businesses. The recruitment pipeline is self-replenishing — the delis bring new people in as others leave. And the opacity, according to FBI interviews with former members, is allegedly engineered through internal training that discourages cooperation with law enforcement.The 1984 Vermont raid produced a precedent that reportedly chilled enforcement for decades. The public defender from that case later joined the group. Germany acted on the same evidence in 2013 and the European Court of Human Rights upheld the decision. The United States has not taken equivalent action.As of 2026, the Twelve Tribes maintains approximately forty communities across sixteen states and ten countries. They are still opening new locations. The story is not winding down. It is still being written. And the question this series leaves is who bears responsibility for the fact that it continues.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before joining GAO in September 2017, Ms. Field served as Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights. Ms. Field also previously served as Assistant Inspector General for Audits and Inspections at the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, which was charged by Congress with conducting audits, inspections, and investigations to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Afghanistan reconstruction effort and to detect and deter waste, fraud, and abuse.   Ms. Field's first tenure with GAO lasted from 2002-2010, during which she worked primarily as a Senior Analyst in the International Affairs and Trade Team and conducted fieldwork in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. From 2000-2001, she served as a Jacob K. Javits Fellow on the Public Health Subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Now, as we officially launch that Blueprint, we commit to act—bringing together caregivers, business and industry leaders, and policymakers to advance a nationwide Culture of Caregiving. Inspired by thought-provoking plenary speakers, you will participate in interactive working sessions and breakout discussions to learn how you can make a difference.   In-person attendees will also experience our dynamic Innovation Expo, featuring more than 30 organizations across military and veteran services, healthcare, and beyond.

    Maya Colombani has spent more than two decades at L'Oréal helping redefine what beauty can mean in the modern world. As Chief Sustainability, Human Rights and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer for L'Oréal Canada, Maya brings a rare blend of conviction and global perspective to her work. Her career has taken her across countries including India, Brazil, and Canada, experiences that deeply shaped the way she thinks about beauty, leadership, and human connection. In this conversation with Ryan, she reflects on why courage means standing up for long-term values when it would be easier to stay quiet, how travel and cultural immersion reshaped her understanding of identity and human rights, and why beauty has far more to do with connection, humility, and authenticity than appearances. They also explore indigenous wisdom, women's rights, leadership, power, and the responsibility that comes with having a voice in today's increasingly polarized world.

    The Twelve Tribes — the group behind the Yellow Deli restaurant chain — has faced allegations of systematic child discipline across three continents and five decades. Former members describe a community where a rod was kept above every door, where children were allegedly struck for crying, and where a 267-page manual reportedly codified exactly how to deliver pain in the name of love.The manual was written by founder Gene Spriggs. He and his wife had no children together. He reportedly never raised a child inside the community. But the instructions he allegedly wrote governed how thousands of parents treated their children for decades.This episode traces the evidence from the 1984 Vermont raid — where one hundred and twelve children were seized and returned the same day — to the 2013 German intervention, where hidden camera footage led to the removal of forty children. The European Court of Human Rights upheld Germany's decision, finding the group promoted institutionalized violence against minors.Former members who grew up inside the Twelve Tribes in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s describe the same system their predecessors described in the 1980s. Police records from Colorado compounds as recently as 2020 document ongoing concerns. The group maintains that their approach is biblical parenting.The allegations have not changed. The practices, according to former members, have not changed.

    Former members of the Twelve Tribes describe a childhood defined by a single object: a thin, reed-like rod kept above the door in every room of every home in every community. It was reportedly always within reach because, according to the people who grew up inside, it was always in use.In this episode, Tony Brueski builds the case from the ground up. The group's own published teachings defend corporal punishment as an act of love. Their internal Child Training Manual, reportedly running 267 pages, allegedly instructs parents to make it hurt enough to produce the desired result. Former members describe being struck dozens of times daily for offenses as minor as looking around while walking.The 1984 Vermont raid — in which authorities removed one hundred and twelve children from the Island Pond compound — was ruled unconstitutional. Every child went back. The state prosecutor publicly stated that the ruling meant it was still acceptable to beat children with a religious justification. That precedent reportedly chilled enforcement for decades.In 2013, Germany acted on hidden camera footage and removed forty children from a compound. The European Court of Human Rights upheld the decision. The same group. The same allegations. One country intervened. One did not.Former members say the practices continue. The group says their approach is rooted in scripture and love. The evidence spans decades. The question is why children are still inside.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian take an honest look at America's imperfect founding. As they continue their Hillsdale series, they examine the tension between liberty and slavery and how flawed motives shaped the early nation. But even in the middle of it, a deeper truth emerges: true freedom doesn't come from government—it comes from God. That idea, rooted in natural law, would go on to shape everything from the Declaration of Independence to the fight for civil rights.

    From June 26, 2024: On June 10, the jury reached a verdict in the federal trial against Chiquita Banana. It found that the company had financed a paramilitary group in Colombia in the late 1990s and early 2000s, resulting in the deaths of eight men, and it awarded the victims' families $38 million in damages. It's the culmination of a 17-year-long multi-district litigation that had faced significant procedural, evidentiary, and legal challenges. And it may represent a new frontier in the fight to hold corporations legally accountable for human rights violations.Executive Editor Natalie Orpett discussed the case and its implications with Michael Posner, Director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University's Stern School of Business and a former Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
