Le canal de Panama a beaucoup fait parler de lui dernièrement, notamment parce que Donald Trump l'a inscrit sur sa liste de territoires convoités, aux côtés du Groenland et, pourquoi pas, du Canada. Ce choix s'explique par le fait que le canal constitue le chemin le plus court entre les océans Pacifique et Atlantique, mais aussi parce que l'Amérique latine attise depuis longtemps les convoitises des grandes puissances, les États-Unis en tête. Les premiers à se lancer dans le creusement d'un canal au Panama sont les Français, pionniers d'un vieux rêve. Avec Jean-Yves Mollier, historien, auteur de Panama, un canal pour mémoire (Flammarion, Paris, 2025). Et avec Laurent Tissot, historien, qui a présenté et annoté l'ouvrage Des Chinois pour le canal de Panama : correspondances (1886-1889) / Henri Etienne (Lausanne, Editions d'En bas, 2014).
En 1888, Henri Étienne, un jeune Neuchâtelois, est recruté par la Compagnie du Canal, l'entreprise qui supervise la construction au Panama. À cette époque, c'est Ferdinand de Lesseps, le promoteur du percement du canal de Suez, qui s'apprête à ouvrir une voie fluviale entre les océans Pacifique et Atlantique. Henri Étienne saisit cette opportunité et se voit confier le recrutement de la plupart des ouvriers chargés du creusement du canal de Panama. Avec l'historien Laurent Tissot, qui a retrouvé la correspondance, très fournie, qu'entretient Henri Etienne avec sa famille au cours de cette mission à la fois secrète et impossible. Et Jean-Yves Mollier, historien, auteur de Panama, un canal pour mémoire (Flammarion, Paris, 2025).
Le canal de Panama aurait pu être un chef d'œuvre français mais ce premier chantier s'effondre - entre 1889 et 1892 - dans le fracas d'un scandale politique et financier qui est resté un totem historique dans les mémoires. Ferdinand de Lesseps qui devait raccourcir les distances du monde, le héros du canal de Suez, a échoué. Avec Jean-Yves Mollier, historien, auteur de Panama, un canal pour mémoire (Flammarion, 2025).
Les entrepreneurs français ont échoué à creuser leur canal de Panama et sont engloutis dans un des plus grands scandales politique et financier. Mais le jeu n'est pas plié, les États-Unis attendaient patiemment leur tour et c'est avec eux que le canal s'apprête à voir le jour à coup de pioche et coup d'Etat. Avec Jean-Yves Mollier, historien, auteur de Panama, un canal pour mémoire (Flammarion, 2025). Et avec Bertrand Van Ruymbeke, historien, auteur de Histoire des États-Unis, Tome 1. 1492-1919 - Tome 2. 1919 à nos jours (Tallandier, 2021).
Au début du XXème siècle, les États-Unis ont rejoint le cercle très sélectif des puissances mondiales, grâce à leur économie, grâce à quelques victoires militaires retentissantes et grâce à leur souveraineté sur le canal de Panama qui joue un rôle puissant pour le commerce mondial et lors des deux guerres mondiales.

In this special episode of CounterPunch Radio, Bill Ayers, friend of Pilsen Community Books and fellow podcaster at Under the Tree, introduces Amos Kennedy and fellow artists and activists Monica Trinidad and Chi Nwosu. This evening at Pilsen Community Books in Chicago included a packed-house crowd for a celebration for the release of Citizen Printer by renowned letterpress printer Amos P. Kennedy, Jr. A self-described “humble negro printer,” Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr., is internationally recognized for his type-driven messages of social justice and Black power, emblazoned in rhythmically layered and boldly inked prints made for the masses. Borrowing words from civil rights heroes such as Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth, Kennedy issues fearless statements on race, capitalism, history, and politics—along with plenty of witty truisms—in his exuberant, colorful, and one-of-a-kind posters and handbills. Amos P. Kennedy, Jr. was working a corporate job when, at nearly forty, he discovered the art of letterpress printing on a tour of Colonial Williamsburg. Kennedy then devoted himself to the craft, earning an MFA in graphic design at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He now operates Kennedy Prints!, a letterpress printshop in Detroit. He has exhibited in dozens of museums and galleries across the United States, including the Library of Congress, and the libraries of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Monica Trinidad (she/they) is a queer Latine visual artist, communicator, and cultural strategist. A lifelong Chicagoan, Monica has created zines, graphics, mixed media posters, communication strategies, and plans highlighting youth-led, intergenerational, and intersectional grassroots organizing work in Chicago and nationally. Chi Nwosu is a Black, non-binary, queer, Nigerian artist based in Chicago. Their work is an alchemy of cultural narratives that centres marginalised experiences and utilises potent cultural, political, and spiritual symbols. Chi's art invites viewers to imagine collective liberation, envisioning communities rooted in kindness, compassion, and care. Please, head over to Pilsen Community Books and pick up some books!

Tchad : quel sera le poids de la nouvelle coalition d'opposition ? À N'Djamena, sept partis et mouvements de l'opposition ont annoncé la création d'une nouvelle coalition. Baptisée « Sauver la démocratie au Tchad », elle entend faire front commun pour dénoncer « les dérives politiques ». Que sait-on de cette nouvelle alliance ? Qui est à sa tête ? Ces partis qui dénoncent une répression des médias et un recul de la liberté ne risquent-ils pas d'en être eux-mêmes victimes ? Avec Carol Valade, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI, ancien correspondant à N'Djamena. Iran : les manifestants vont-ils faire tomber le régime ? En Iran, les manifestations contre le régime sont entrées dans leur troisième semaine. Malgré la sanglante répression et le blackout numérique pour étouffer toute circulation d'information à l'intérieur du pays et vers l'extérieur, la mobilisation ne faiblit pas. Ce mouvement de révolte est-il différent des précédentes vagues de manifestation ? Le régime iranien peut-il tomber sans une intervention de l'étranger ? Iran : l'ayatollah Khamenei est-il vraiment prêt à dialoguer avec Donald Trump ? Après ses menaces d'une opération militaire, Donald Trump a déclaré dimanche (11 janvier 2026) que les dirigeants iraniens étaient prêts à négocier et qu'une réunion était en préparation. Le lendemain, la diplomatie iranienne a confirmé qu'un canal de communication était « ouvert » avec l'émissaire américain pour le Moyen-Orient. Est-il crédible que Téhéran accepte des pourparlers ?

Avec Jannette Habel, politiste, chercheuse à l'Institut des Hautes Études en Amérique Latine et associée à l'Université Sorbonne Nouvelle.
What is the LCFJ?The Latino Climate Justice Framework (LCJF) prioritizes environmental justice while helping to protect disproportionately affected individuals–commonly Latine people. Specifically, LCJF works with communities that “face numerous climate-related issues, from extreme heat affecting outdoor workers and poor air quality in neighborhoods near industrial facilities, to increased vulnerability to natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires.”The ParticularsLCJF has three areas of focus with different goals for how to better the health of the environment and the Latino community. Chapter one of the LCJF identifies how fossil fuels disproportionately expose the Latine community to toxic pollutants. LCJF believes that carbon capture methods are an extremely passive solution that do not address the problem; instead they hope to prioritize renewable energy while enhancing affordability and accessibility to these amenities by “ramping up recycling, reusing batteries and solar panels” and “ensuring equitable investment”.The second chapter outlines how “latinos are 21% more likely than white individuals to reside in urban heat islands” and “only 19% of Latino/a/e children have nearby recreational green spaces, compared to 62% of white children.” They follow up with recommendations for how they hope that plans for “prioritizing urban greening projects in Latine neighborhoods with the highest heat risk and lowest tree canopy and green spaces” would improve air quality in their neighborhoods, while reducing health risks. The last chapter outlines how Latines have an extremely sacred relationship with land and water. However, due to “patriarchal and white supremacist oppression” they have been deprived of their access to nature. Moreover, they acknowledge that Earth has been losing vital biodiversity for those very same reasons. Thus, they hope to reduce this problem by opposing efforts to extract natural gas and oil, build the US Mexico border on sensitive lands, and “sprawl development on public lands.”The Upsides The LCJF aims to mitigate climate change by reducing pollution from fossil fuels through stringent regulations and promoting clean energy alternatives. It emphasizes the development of climate-resilient infrastructure to protect communities from climate-related disasters. Additionally, the framework seeks to empower Latine communities by involving them directly in environmental decision-making processes, ensuring that solutions are culturally relevant and effective.Foreseeable Difficulties in UtilizationThough potential issues may include challenges with implementation, funding, political support, scalability, and policy adaptation efforts. LCJF Program Director Irene Burga argues that Latine people are often kept out of the conversation of climate equity despite the fact that they are extremely affected by climate change. If their voices are heard, she says, climate policies would be much more impactful.About Our GuestIrene Burga is the Climate Justice and Cleaner Program Director at Green Latinos, where she works to bring Latine voices to government.ResourcesClimate Advocacy Lab, Latino Climate Justice Framework 2025-28 | Climate Advocacy LabFurther ReadingLCJF, The Latino Climate Justice Framework.

In the U.S., a large proportion of immigrant communities remain unable to access healthcare. And even before the fall of Roe v. Wade, Latine people, immigrants, and communities of color faced disproportionate barriers to abortion care. Criminalization, ICE raids, travel, and language barriers further deter immigrant communities from seeking abortion care. Lupe Rodriguez, Executive Director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice (NLIRJ), sits down to talk with us about how immigrant justice and reproductive justice intersect. Latine people make up 41% of uninsured people in the country, and a large portion of that number reflects immigrant communities. Many immigrants, depending on the type of immigration status they hold, are not eligible for Medicaid. In some states, undocumented immigrants are not able to buy health insurance through the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) marketplace. In addition, language barriers increase the difficulty of navigating the healthcare system. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” (OBBBA), passed earlier this year, will be devastating. According the NLIRJ, nearly 1 in 3 Latine people around the country rely on Medicaid for healthcare access, and many Latine communities also rely on Planned Parenthood as a hub for healthcare access. Combatting mis- and dis-information, building community, and progressive policy change can make a difference in this horrible moment.

This weeks guest is Jasmyne Colín who joins us from Denver, Colorado. Jasmyne aka “Malort Mami” is a self-proclaimed “bar-activist”. She has competed in many competitions such as Speed Rack and won the Malort competition Denver. While Jasmyn loves bartending and the freedom it gives her to be creative, her passion lies in activism. Jasmyne received her degree in Political Science and Ethnic Studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2021, right around the time she joined the industry. Jasmyne's ethos as a bartender is centred around community and connection. Over the past year and a half, Jasmyne has found ways to blend her two passions of activism and bartending, proving that the two are not mutually exclusive. One such as example was hosting the first ever Latine focused party at PDXCW, that centred culture and community. Jasmyne strongly believes that as members of the service industry, we are stronger together and that we have the power to impact our communities in a profound and unique way. Currently, Jasmyne bartends and is the Social Media Manager at Pony Up Denver. @malort_mami @ponyupdenver A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia.

Cette semaine, nous revenons sur plusieurs sujets qui ont marqué l'année 2025 et qui seront encore au cœur de l'actualité en 2026. Pour les évoquer, les journalistes du Soir ont choisi de poser des questions provocantes. Aujourd'hui, on se demande si la gauche traditionnelle est en train de disparaître de plusieurs paysages politiques d'Amérique latine ?Même si le territoire est vaste et que chaque pays a ses propres enjeux et particularités, une tendance politique globale s'impose : la gauche traditionnelle est de plus en plus affaiblie en Amérique latine. Plusieurs facteurs expliquent le phénomène de cette alternance voulue par les électeurs déçus, notamment les crises économiques, la corruption ou encore l‘insécurité liée aux gangs. Résultat, cette année une vague de droite conservatrice ou radicale a déferlé sur la région : ces victoires récentes, au Chili avec Antonio Kast, au Salvador avec Nayib Bukele ou en Équateur avec Daniel Noboa, montrent à quel point les équilibres peuvent basculer. L'influence ou plutôt l'ingérence de Trump dans certains pays, particulièrement dans l'Argentine de Javier Milei joue également un rôle dans la montée des populismes de droite. Le Mexique et le Brésil se placent eux en contre-exemples avec des leaders de gauche qui récoltent encore le soutien populaire et résistent à la montée des droites. On discute de cette recomposition du paysage politique et du déclin éventuel de la gauche traditionnelle en Amérique latine avec Véronique Kiesel, journaliste au pôle international. « À propos », c'est notre sélection de l'actualité, du lundi au vendredi dès 5 heures sur Le Soir et votre plateforme de podcasts préférée.

Make Morality Mainstream Again The adultification of teen fiction has intentionally Frankensteined books for teens into cesspools of ideological normalization. A while ago, I met a mother and her daughter, the latter of whom I hadn't seen in several years. On the cusp of turning twelve, she'd obviously grown in the time since, and, her mother proudly informed me, had become quite the reader. Indeed, the girl held quite a thick book in her hand. Which was it? The girl showed me the cover. I turned to the mother. “Do you know what your daughter is reading?” She'd figured telling her eleven-year-old she could read whatever was marked 14+ was a safe enough guardrail for appropriate content. As reading is an experience between book and reader, the mother wouldn't have seen what her daughter was taking in. She couldn't either know that her daughter's book was familiar not because it was something I'd read but because it was something I wouldn't. Worse, she thought she could trust the institution. THE READING DILEMMA Parents want kids to read, but as most can't keep up with their reading habits, they don't fully realize what's being allowed, even promoted, in books for young readers. As with other once vaunted institutions, the publishing world has morphed in ways many aren't fully aware of. Over a decade ago, I signed my first contract for Young Adult (YA) fiction. Before and since, I've watched the genre boom through the stages of audience demographic to viable business. Throughout, YA has expanded from books for teens to a genre unto itself, attracting talented writers, lucrative contracts, and the golden goose of Hollywood adaptations. YA is officially for readers 14-18 years (and up). However, as it's after Middle Grade (8-12 years), tweens are frequent readers, plus many eleven-year-olds reading up. There is “lower” and “upper” YA, but they're unofficial categories for libraries or writers specific about their target audience. Most retailers and publishers categorize all teen books under the general YA umbrella. NA, New Adult, mainly written for college-aged readers into their early twenties, is often sheltered under the YA umbrella too. Alongside the wider publishing industry, YA has changed significantly over the years, reflecting broader shifts in society. What follows isn't an analysis on talent or quality but content, as something about words in a book makes what's written more real, valid, romantic, admirable, aspirational. Thus, the intent is to shed light on some of the many topic and imagery that are included in books for young readers. At risk that this won't earn me any friends in publishing (at best), here's some of what I've seen: DEVOLUTION OF YA FICTION Growth of the YA audience/genre is an objective benefit, logical as it is to increase methods for targeting potential customers. As YA has increased in business and position, its morphing into genre unto itself has attracted many adults readers. As a YA author, I read mainly within my market and see the appeal for adult readers considering how well the genre's developed. The migration of older readers to YA is certainly one of the many reasons it's been so adultified. Other factors include the poisonous stranglehold ideological tentacles have on many aspects of culture, entertainment, and education. The shifts adults have finally caught onto in adult fiction and film have infected literature for younger audiences, picture books through YA. A quick example, originally, romantic comedies centered on a man and woman who clashed at the outset, then eventually found their way to each other at the end. The story would build to some romantic declaration, then a kiss. Anyone who's been watching knows that there's now a whole lot of touching that happens before any romantic declaration occurs. Longer, more frequent kisses are only second to scenes of the pair sleeping together before deciding how they really feel about each other. All this is becoming commonplace in YA. What was once cutesy stories about a high school girl chasing a crush has now become stories featuring a whole lot of other firsts, even seconds, and then some. The devolution of YA is a result of purposeful normalization and reshaping of societal norms through manipulatively emotional appeals by writers, agents, and editors. On average, books from larger publishing houses take roughly eighteen months to two years to evolve from contract to product on the shelf. To say, story trends are set in motion well before their rise in popularity. Whatever the view on agents as gatekeepers to the larger houses, publishers only publish so many books in a year, an amount significantly less than all the people who want to be published. Hence, agents act as preliminary filters for editors, whittling down potential authors to relatively more manageable numbers. An agent must really believe in a writer and project to nab one of those few spots. Like most creative fields, writing is highly subjective, so in addition to general quality, each agent and editor has preferences for stories they want to work with. They're also usually pretty clear about what they're looking for, so part of the progression of change can be traced back to what's being requested. CHARACTER INCLUSION CHECKLISTS When I first entered the “querying trenches,” wish lists from agents mainly specified genres and their various offshoots. Although ideologies make a home in all genres, most were subtler, more akin to a light sprinkling than the deluge of today. Within a few short years, wish lists changed. Unofficial “checklists” appeared in the now familiar cancerous categories of equity, representation, marginalization, and other socialist pseudonyms. Nonfiction for teens is dominated by activism, coming out, and adaptations of left-wing figures' biographies. Rather than prioritize quality, potential, uniqueness, the new gatekeeping is often focused on the inclusion of certain ideologies. For the first while, emphasis was on strong female characters, an odd request considering the YA market is dominated by female writers and readers. Previous character portrayal thus had little to do with some imagined patriarchal oppression. Now, female characters are “fierce”, projections of feminist fantasies celebrating girl bosses who are objectively pushy, uncooperative, obnoxious, self-righteous, and/or highly unrealistic. Somehow, they capture the most desirable love interest, a magical combination of masculinity and emotional vulnerability, who is inexplicably un-neutered by support of her domineering principles. Frequently, the girl makes the first move. Worse than overbearing feminism is unrealistic portrayals of a girl's physical abilities accompanied by most unsavory rage and wrath and anger. Supposedly, these traits aren't anathema to the gorgeous guys (when it is a guy) these girls miraculously attract. Unless there's a moth to flame metaphor here, it's a lie to pretend wrath is a healthy attraction. This well reflects the move away from what's become so-last-century stories featuring underdogs who searched deep for courage and heart to overcome challenges, raising up others alongside themselves. A time when character development focused on, well, character. More wholesome stories have been replaced with a self-proclaimed oppressed burning with self-righteous rage and violence. Such characters have seeped into fantasy for adults as well, most notably in armies featuring female combat soldiers and warriors without special powers, who somehow go toe-to-toe if not best male counterparts. Often this sort of matchup is shown as some cunning of smallness, agility, and destruction of arrogant male condescension. Never mind that such fighting is highly unrealistic, and any male is rightly confident if paired against a woman in physical combat. No amount of small body darting or ingenuity will save a girl from the full force of one landed male punch. The unquestioned portrayal of women able to best men in physical combat is worrying considering the real possibility of a reader confusing fact with fiction. Besides, a country which sends its women to war will no longer exist, as it's a country with males but not men. The current not-so-secret of major houses is that a book doesn't have a high chance of getting published if it doesn't check certain markers, especially for midlist and debut authors, though A-listers are not immune. A Caucasian is hardly allowed to write a story featuring a so-called BIPOC, but a straight author must somehow include the ever-expanding gay-bcs, and it must be in a positive light. Some authors were always writing these characters, which at least reflects acting of their own volition. For the rest, many didn't start until required. Because of the careful wording around these ideologies, many don't speak out against these practices so as not to appear hateful and bigoted. The mandated appearance of so-called marginalized and under-represented in stories lest the author risk erasing…someone, somehow also operates along these lines. Although, apparently, only very specific groups are at risk of disappearing. These standards are ridiculous in their least damaging iterations. How many so-anointed BIPOC were consulted over their standard portrayals? How can every individual of every minority be consulted for approval, and who chooses which faction decides? How many Latinos, speakers of gendered language, agreed to Latinx and Latine? Christian characters in mainstream publishing are rarely portrayed as steadfast believers or even rebels rediscovering faith. Jewish stories usually feature a character who's “lived experience” is assimilation, so the character is of a religion but doesn't represent it. A real portrayal of the true beliefs these characters come from would not align with the world mainstream publishing wants to shape. Even more ludicrous is that “disabled” and “neurodivergent” are considered identities, as if a physical or medical condition is cause for new labeling. The approach used to be that you are still you, worthy of respect and consideration, despite these conditions. In the glorified world of the self-hyphenate, the world of we-are-our-self-declared-identity, it's the foremost feature mentioned, with accompanying expectation of praise and exaltation, regardless of an individual's character or behavior. Don't confuse the argument against the labeling with the individuals, because they are separable. Worse than the tokenism is the reduction of individuals to secondary characteristics. Is this really the first thing you have to say about yourself, the most essential thing to know? When did it become norm to turn skin color or medical condition or physical ability into a character trait, the very notion of which says that anyone in this group must be viewed primarily through this lens, as if each is exactly the same? How myopic. How belittling. Following the cue set by movies, books for teens also morphed from cutesy rom-coms to ideological showcases. Unsurprisingly, there's been the introduction of the stereotypical gay best friend. Then storylines focusing on coming out or discovering someone close was gay, with accompanying template for writing them. The one coming out is always the strong one, the resilient one, though much language must be banned lest they be offended or erased, so their strength is dependent upon a carefully constructed bubble. Not only is inclusion necessary but happiness is the only possible, deliberately portrayed reaction. Never mind if some or all of it runs counter to a writer's religious beliefs. Moreover, “I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I'll still treat you with respect” was never an acceptable response. And it is an acceptable response in all manner of situations, unless you exorcise it in efforts to forcibly shape a particular worldview. Additionally, the attitude is that since you can't tell me who to love, and loving this person makes me happy, you must not only ally but champion me. Why is it offensive to present different acceptable, respectful reactions to teens? Who exactly is erased if this character isn't presented at all? As before, don't confuse the argument against mandate with the individuals. The contention isn't about love, but about religion protecting the sanctity of romantic relationships and marriage, a religious practice since the dawn of time, as seen across centuries and civilizations. Marriage is described as sanctified and holy, because it's Divine in nature, and thereby under the domain of the religious. If it's just a contract, then of course any government can regulate it. It’s disingenuous to deny that such enforcement clashes with the very nature of what writing is about. It shuts down discussion, then subverts it entirely by pretending there's nothing to debate. That shouldn't be a source of pride for publishing, but deepest shame. In their efforts to supposedly widen the window of story matter, they've narrowed the frames and tinted the panes to exclude suddenly unacceptable voices entirely. PORNOGRAPHY AND CONSENT Compounded upon all this, most books are no longer relatively clean romances building to a single kiss, as every stage of the relationship has become more explicit. Some scenes are akin to manuals, containing the sort of imagery once the sole province of steamy romances. When efforts are rightly made to remove these books from shelves, screeches of censorship! erasure! representation! resound. We wouldn't, and shouldn't, tolerate any adult approaching a kid on the street and telling stories with such description, nor should we allow it from close friends or family. Authors do not hold special status in this, no matter what the screechers screech. Taking such books off shelves isn't an indication of bigotry, intolerance, hatred, or erasure, but moral obligation. The counterargument from writers, agents, and editors is that explicit detail is necessary because of something to do with “lived experiences” and consent. First, if kids are doing it anyway, then adults definitely needn't assist. Second, consent is not quite the magical word society would have us believe. Third, “everyone has different experiences” is not a reason for writing graphic content, and the replacement of “intimacy” with “experience” is largely responsible for why relationships are in the gutter and leaving people unfulfilled. Intimacy is something private between two individuals; experience is a vague euphemism to pass off what should matter as transitory, despite irrevocable effects. It's difficult to imagine in an age when phones, cameras, and microphones track a person everywhere, but there was once an ideal called privacy, and the intimate was part of it. Pushback also leads to defenses of “sexuality,” another way of saying adults want to teach kids all kinds of ways to pursue these “experiences”. Changing the wording doesn't alter the nature but does allow immoral actors to force celebration of their fantasies and fetishes. The wrongness is incontestable, though not surprising from those who promote polyamory for teens and romantic relationships between humans and demons or other ungodly creatures. The feeble argument for writing scenes of teens sleeping together is they must see what consent looks like. Again, authors do not hold special status or exemption. There is no strong enough argument for writing scenes for teens in which one character undresses another and verbally asks permission every step of the way. Especially because the new trend seems to be the girl not only “consenting”, but also a burning I want this. If she wants, this wording implies, then she must have, abandoning all reason and morality. Consent has become an excuse for all sorts of undesirable, immoral, even illegal behavior, but mutual agreement is supposed to make it okay. This isn't the behavior we should be promoting for teens; we should be giving them better things, bigger ideas to think about. Worst of all, why is any adult writing about two sixteen-year-olds sleeping together? A teenager, no matter how mature, is still developing and while smart and clever not really old enough to fully understand what she's “consenting” to, and is probably being taken advantage of. We treat eighteen with the same magical power as consent, as if any age should be sleeping around, even if legalese only extends so far. Teen pregnancy, abortion overall, would hardly be an issue if everyone stopped sleeping with people they shouldn't. Any adherent to morality knows this, though morality is just another thing scuttled from teen fiction. G-dless ideology is the new morality; immoral, manmade gods have replaced G-d; lust is the new love; sexuality excuse for pornography; perceived racism and misogyny validation for violence and rage. Many are we who did not consent to this. These scenes are in teen films as well, though how many parents know this in an age of individual devices? Adults pretending to be teens take each other's clothes off before a camera for real tweens, teens, and/or adults to watch. Please explain in clear and simple language why this is not a form of pornography. What absolutely vital role does this scene have in advancing the story? Consent is not enough. Wanting is not enough. We're encouraging teens to turn their bodies into used cars, dented, scraped, scarred, and baggage laden, for what? Why is this hollowing out of self and morality good? This serves no benefit for teens and the overall state of relationships. Consent has become an excuse for all sorts of undesirable, immoral, even illegal behavior, but we're supposed to think that everyone agreeing makes whatever they agree to okay. It's incredibly obvious that feminism and the sexual revolution didn't free women, but chain them in a prison of animalistic, unsatisfying desire, dooming them to jadedness, frustration, and loneliness. But they're so responsible! So mature! By such logic, a responsible sixteen-year-old should be able to buy guns, alcohol, and drugs. But identity! No, identity doesn't mandate a book with graphic imagery, nor is it “sexuality” or “feeling seen” or any other term you hide behind. Witness the tattered remains of social morality that writers do not balk at writing this for teens. They should balk at writing this for anyone. Once we recognized that betterment came through battling temptations. It is not difficult to see how the enforced normalization of all this was also an effective ridding of undesirable shame. Not only have we banished feeling bad, we've enforced celebration of what shame once kept in line. But they'll never be prepared! How did any of us get here if none of this existed for millennia? But look at the sales! Many people also bought rock pets. Deviants and defenders will attempt to claim that (a) this sort of stuff always existed, which isn't really a reason for its continuance, and (b) previous generations were undoubtedly stifled in their inability to express their true selves. Perhaps. And yet, previous generations built civilization, with significantly less medical prescriptions too. Previous generations were better at family and community, meaning and purpose. We have “experiences.” But this is what married people do! Some writers introduce a faux or rushed marriage into the plot, perhaps because their weakening moral compass prevents writing an explicit scene between unmarried characters. Marrying the characters and making them eighteen doesn't magically okay writing this for teens. Everyone does it—indeed there are many common bodily functions which shouldn't be demonstrated in public—isn't either reason enough. Pressures to include these scenes is evidenced by authors long regarded as “clean” storytellers, authors who won't swear or indulge in graphic or gratuitous content, authors who clearly express Christian beliefs in their acknowledgements, writing them too. Would they give this book to their priest? To a young church member? Would they read the scene aloud for family or friends or the very teens they write for? If even the professed religious authors do not have the fortitude to oppose this, if even they can be convinced of the supposed validity, then gone is the bulwark protecting children from the psychological and moral damage resulting from these scenes. But inclusivity! We must reflect the world around them! Considering what's in these books, all should pray teens aren't seeing this around them. Either way, that doesn't excuse writing about it. Moreover, cries for inclusivity from those shutting down differing opinions are inherently without substance. True inclusivity is achieved when stories focus on universal truths and laudatory values shared by all. The fundamental argument is that “could” is not “should”, and the only reliable arbiter between the two is Divinely-based morality. Current permissiveness is only possible in a society which worked for decades to expunge religion from its vital foundational position and influence. The demonization piled atop its degradation was simple insurance that the moral truths of religion wouldn't interfere with the newly established secular order. We can still be good people, they claimed. Witness the tattered remains. Allowing, championing, this sort of writing has not made us better, and instead of listening to concerns, activists and proponents double down. Need you any proof of the separation between ethics and morality and elitism and academia, scroll through an article or two in defense of these scenes. The more “educated” the individual, the twisted the pretzel of rationalization. Rational lies, all of them. These lies are prominently center of the new crusade against so-called “book banning,” although the books are still available at retailers and publishers. Fueled by self-righteous hysteria, activists take great pride in influencing state legislatures to enact decrees against book bans in protection of “lived experiences,” representation, and the like. If a teen doesn't see two boys or girls or more sleeping together, so the thinking goes, then they face imminent, unspecified harm, never mind that their sacred voice has been quashed. They claim BIPOC and queer authors are specifically targeted, failing to mention it's the content not the author rejected. Somehow the bigots are the ones who don't want kids reduced to “sexuality”, while the tolerant are the ones who do. Need anyone ask if these protections extend to writers who don't align or even disagree with their worldview? I'd say these books are better suited for adults, but adults are despairing of the unreadability of books in their categories too. And that aside from the targeted “decolonization” of books and authors that adults, especially men, enjoyed reading. From the myriad of books extant, no plot was ever turned, no story ever dependent upon an explicit scene, in the bedroom or elsewhere. Neither does such render the work art or literature, but rather indecent and abhorrent. Parents struggle to encourage their kids to read when such are the books available. ELIMINATING THE WEST For some time, agents have specifically requested non-western narratives, histories, and legends. Atop the deteriorating state of the current education system, teens aren't being presented with a fictionalized character in history, which may thereby spark interest and curiosity in real history. No wonder they know so little of the past when they're not offered history at all. What does make it in represents very select time periods. Other permitted historical fiction is alternative histories where the past is magicked or reimagined, almost always in some gender swapped way. While alternative histories can be creative, the lack of regular historical fiction seems to indicate the only permitted history is a remade one. Otherwise, most of western history isn't on shelves because no one wants to represent it. Which means no one's fighting for it to be published. Which means young readers aren't given glimpses into the past that made this present and will highly influence the future. And this from those who claim large swaths of the population don't properly teach history. The same who pushed the fabricated and widely debunked lie that slavery was unique to the west, the only culture who actively sought to end it. The same who have yet to consider the absolute necessity of mandating schools to teach the true horrors of communism done right. The same who have a monochrome view of colonization and chameleon approach to the faux oppressed-oppressor narrative. A rather high volume of Asian-based stories, histories, and mythologies fill the market instead. The proliferation of Asian and other eastern fiction isn't objectively concerning, but it's deliberate increase alongside western stories' deliberate decrease is. It's less an expansion of viewpoints and more a supplanting of anything west. I grew up reading historical fiction, but there's a dearth on shelves for teen readers, who must see where we come from through the eyes of characters resembling our ancestors. Instead of walking through time in their shoes and understanding their struggles in the context of when they lived, we project modern ideologies upon the one protagonist somehow vastly ahead of her time. It's deliberately false and disconnects readers from the world that created the one we live in. Whatever your opinion of our world, it was formed in those histories, and we cannot appreciate the present without understanding the world that made it. MENTAL HEALTH Another major trend in teen fiction is the focus on the broad category of mental health, its emergence unsurprising considering the uptick in modern society. Whatever the viewpoint on diagnoses, the truth is that the ones calling for greater awareness have much to do with having caused the issues. Teens living in the most prosperous, free society that ever was should not have such measures of mental health struggles, yet they do. Skim the messaging of the last several decades and it's no wonder why. Teens are raised on a bombardment of lies and damaging viewpoints resulting in a precarious Jenga structure at their foundation. For decades they've been told they can sleep around without lasting consequence, negating the need to build deep, lasting, exclusive relationships. Families, a fundamental source of meaning and grounding, have been shoved aside for the faux glory of sleeping with whomever, whenever, and the new solution of “found family”. Just because a pill supposedly prevents biological consequences doesn't mean a different sort of toll hasn't been exacted. And that follows the perpetual degradation of dress, reducing the entirety of an individual to a form as valued or devalued as any other physical object. Added to the disrespect of the body is the incessant, unfounded claim that “climate change” is going to destroy the planet by…well, soon. Never mind that we're doing better than before, and all predictions have been proven wrong. Imagine what continual doom and gloom does to the mental state of a teenager already grappling with ping-ponging hormones, who should be presented with optimism for the future they're about old enough to create. Well, we have a pill for that too. Teens have been told the American dream is gone by those who set out to destroy it, that American greatness isn't worth dreaming about by those who recolored it a nightmare. Hobbies and collected skills, the work of their own hands, have been shunted for social media trends and unfettered internet access. Phones are given to younger and younger kids, so they don't grow up in the tangible, real world but an algorithmic, digital one. Inevitably, the worst of that world affects them. They're told that they're hated, feared for the way they were born. They're told they're not even who they've been since birth, basic facts purposely turned into issues and doubts to shake the foundation of self. Those most adamant about the contrived need for teens to discover identity are the most diligent at axing their very roots. The response to the mental health crisis, the jadedness, the internal turmoil they've helped facilitate by destroying the enduring, reliable fabric of society is to encourage more of the same empty, hollowing behaviors. Atop all this is never-ending rage, rage, rage. At the base is the deliberate removal of religion. No matter an individual's choice of observance, religion undeniably provides what liberal society and decadence cannot; meaning. Eternal, enduring meaning. The knowing that you're more than a clump of cells passing through this timespan, because you are an integral link in a chain reaching back millennia. Your ancestors didn't endure hardships or fight to build civilization so you could be the end of the line, but so you could gratefully take your place in it. You and your actions matter. Not because you're a political vote or celebrated community, but because you were made in the image of G-d Who woke you today as there's something only you can do in His world. What effect would the proliferation of this messaging in literature have on the mental state of the youth? And for those pontificating about diversity and inclusion, who in truth only want different skin colors espousing the same beliefs, there is no greater unifier than religion. Belief in a higher power unites individuals of different backgrounds, colors, and, most valuably, opinions, in ways no mandate or ideology ever can. While lengthy, the above in no way encompasses all the changes, reasons, and effects pertaining to the devolution of teen fiction. And, as the focus is not on talent but content, it can be shifted as easily as it was before. You may disagree with everything I've written. You may accuse me of jealousy, hatred, bigotry, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, erasure, et al. I only encourage you to look for yourself.

Welcome to the Arise podcast, conversations on faith, race, justice, gender, the church, and what are we seeing in reality right now? So Jenny and I dive in a little bit about therapy. The holidays, I would don't say the words collective liberation, but it feels like that's what we're really touching on and what does that mean in this day and age? What are we finding with one another? How are we seeking help? What does it look like and what about healing? What does that mean to us? This isn't like a tell all or the answer to all the problems. We don't have any secret knowledge. Jenny and I are just talking out some of the thoughts and feeling and talking through what does it mean for us as we engage one another, engage healing spaces, what do we want for ourselves? And I think we're still figuring that out. You're just going to hear us going back and forth talking and thank you for joining. Danielle (00:10):Welcome to the Arise podcast, conversations on faith, race, justice, gender, the church, and what are we seeing in reality right now?

And I think we're still figuring that out. You're just going to hear us going back and forth talking and thank you for joining. Download, subscribe. So Jenny, we were just talking about therapy because we're therapists and all. And what were you saying about it?Jenny (01:17):I was saying that I'm actually pretty disillusioned with therapy and the therapy model as it stands currently and everything. I don't want to put it in the all bad bucket and say it's only bad because obviously I do it and I, I've done it myself. I am a therapist and I think there is a lot of benefit that can come from it, and I think it eventually meets this rub where it is so individualistic and it is one person usually talking to one person. And I don't think we are going to dismantle the collective systems that we need to dismantle if we are only doing individual therapy. I think we really need to reimagine what healing looks like in a collective space.Danielle (02:15):Yeah, I agree. And it's odd to talk about it both as therapists. You and I have done a lot of groups together. Has that been different? I know for me as I've reflected on groups. Yeah. I'll just say this before you answer that. As I've reflected on groups, when I first started and joined groups, it was really based on a model of there's an expert teacher, which I accepted willingly because I was used to a church or patriarchal format. There's expert teacher or teachers like plural. And then after that there's a group, and in your group there's an expert. And I viewed that person as a guru, a professional, of course, they were professional, they are professionals, but someone that might have insider knowledge about me or people in my group that would bring that to light and that knowledge alone would change me or being witnessed, which I think is important in a group setting would change me. But I think part of the linchpin was having that expert guide and now I don't know what I think about that.(03:36):I think I really appreciate the somatic experiencing model that would say my client's body is the wisest person in the room.(03:46):And so I have shifted over the years from a more directive model where I'm the wisest person in the room and I'm going to name these things and I'm going to call these things out in your story to how do I just hold a space for your body to do what your body knows how to do? And I really ascribe to the idea that trauma is not about an event. It's about not having a safe place to go in the midst of or after an event. And so I think we need safe enough places to let our bodies do what our bodies have really evolved to do. And I really trust that more and more that less is more, and actually the more that I get out of the way and my clients can metabolize what they need to, that actually I think centers their agency more. Because if I'm always needing to defer my story to someone else to see things, I'm never going to be able to come into my own and say, no, I actually maybe disagree with you, or I see that differently, or I'm okay not figuring that out or whatever it might be. I get to stay centered in my own agency. And I think a professional model disavow someone of their own agency and their own ability to live their story from the inside outDanielle (05:19):To live their story from the inside out. I think maybe I associate a lot of grief with that because as you talk about it, you talk about maybe seeking healing in this frame, going to school for this frame, and I'm not dismissing all of the good parts of that or the things that I discovered through those insights, but sometimes I think even years later I'm like, why didn't they stick? If I know that? Why didn't they stick? Or why do I still think about that and go through my own mental gymnastics to think what is actually healing? What does it have to look like if that thing didn't stick and I'm still thinking about it or feeling it, what does that say about me? What does that say about the therapy? I think for me, the lack of ongoing collective places to engage those kinds of feelings have allowed things to just bumble on or not really get lodged in me as an alternative truth. Does that make sense?Jenny (06:34):Yeah. But one of the things I wonder is healing a lie? I have yet to meet someone I know that I get to know really well and I go, yeah, this person is healed regardless of the amount of money they've spent in therapy, the types of body work they've done. What if we were all just more honest about the fact that we're all messy and imperfect and beautiful and everything in between and we stopped trying to chase this imagined reality of healing that I don't actually think exists?(07:30):Well, I think I've said it before on here. I used to think it was somewhere I was going to get to where I wouldn't feel X, y, Z. So maybe it meant I got to a space where on the holidays I often feel sad. I have my whole life and I feel sad this year. So does that mean somehow the work that I've put in to understand that sadness, that I'm not healed because I still feel sadness? And I think at the beginning I felt like if I'm still feeling sadness, if there are triggers that come around the holidays, then that means that I'm not healed or I haven't done enough work or there's something wrong with me for needing more support. So now I'm wondering if healing more, and I think we talked about this a little bit before too, is more the growing awareness. How does it increase connection versus create isolation for me when I feel sad? That's one example I think of. What about you?Jenny (08:31):I think about the last time I went to Uganda and there's so much complexity with my role in Uganda as a white woman that was stepping into a context to bring healing. And my final time in Uganda, I was co-facilitating a workshop for Ugandan psychotherapists and I had these big pieces of parchment paper around the room with different questions because I thought that they would be able to be more honest if it was anonymous. And so one of the pieces of paper said, what would you want westerners to know who were coming to Uganda to do healing work? And it was basically 100% learn what healing means to us.(09:26):Bring your own ideas of healing, stop, try, stop basically. And for whatever reason, that time was actually able to really hear that and go, I'd actually have no place trying to bring my form of healing and implement that. You all have your own form of healing. And one of the things that they also said on that trip was for you, healing is about the individual. For us, healing is about reintegrating that person into the community. And that might mean that they still have trauma and they still have these issues, but if they are accepted and welcomed in, then the community gets to support them through that. It's not about bringing this person out and fixing them over here and then plucking them back. It's how does the community care for bodies that have been injured? And I think about how I broke my foot in dance class when I was 14 and I had to have reconstructive surgery and my foot and my ankle and my knee and my hip and my whole body have never been the same. I will never go back to a pre broken foot body. So why would we emotionally, psychologically, spiritually be any different? And I think some of it comes from this Christian cosmology of Eden that we're just keep trying to find ourselves back in Eden. And this is something I feel like I've learned from our dear friend, Rebecca Wheeler Walston, which is like, no, we're not going back to Eden. How do we then live in this post perfect pre-injury world that is messy and unhealed, but also how can we find meaning and connection in that?(11:28):That was a lot of thoughts, but that's kind of what comes up for me.Danielle (11:31):Oh man, there's a couple of things you said and I was like, oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. I think you said healing is how do we as a community integrate people who have experienced trauma into our spaces? I think if you think back to Freud, it's plucking people out and then he reintroduced trauma and abuse them in the process. But somehow despite those things, he got to be an expert. I mean, so if you wonder how we got to Donald Trump, if you wonder how we get to all these leaders in our country getting to rape, abuse, sexually assault people, and then still maintain their leader position of power, even in our healing realm, we based a lot of our western ideologies on someone that was abusive and we're okay with that. Let's read them, let's learn from them. Okay, so that's one thing.(12:32):And Freud, he did not reintegrate these people back into the community. In fact, their process took them further away. So I often think about that too with therapy. I dunno, I think I told you this, Jenny, that sometimes I feel like people are trying their therapeutic learning out on me just in the community. Wax a boundary on you or I'll tell you no, and I'm just like, wait, what have you been learning? Or what have you been growing in and why aren't we having a conversation in the moment versus holding onto something and creating these spinoffs? But I do think that part of it is that healing hasn't been a way of how to reconnect with your community despite their own imperfections and maybe even places of harm. It's been like, how do you get away from that? And then they're like, give your family. Who's your chosen family? That's so hard. Does that actually work?Jenny (13:42):Yeah, it makes me think of this meme I saw that was so brutal that said, I treat my trauma. Trump treats tariffs, implementing boundaries arbitrarily that hurt everyone. And I've, we've talked a lot about this and I think it is a very white idea to be like, no, that's my boundary. You can't do that. No, that's my boundary. No, that's my boundary. No, that's my boundary. And it's like, are you actually healing or are you just isolating yourself from everything that makes you uncomfortable or triggered or frustrated and hear me? I do think there is a time and a place and a role for boundaries and everything in capitalism. I think it gets bastardized and turned into something that only reproduces whiteness and privilege and isolation and individuation individualism because capitalism needs those things. And so how do we hold the boundaries, have the time and a place and a purpose, and how do we work to grow relation with people that might not feel good all the time?(15:02):And I'm not talking about putting ourselves in positions of harm, but what about positions of discomfort and positions of being frustrated and triggered and parts of the human emotion? Because I agree with what you shared about, I thought healing was like, I'm not going to feel these things, but who decided that and who said those are unhealed emotions? What if those are just part of the human experience and healing is actually growing our capacity to feel all of it, to feel the sadness that you're feeling over the holidays, to feel my frustration when I'm around certain people and to know that that gets to be okay and there gets to be space for that.Danielle (15:49):I mean, it goes without saying, but in our capitalistic system, and in a way it's a benefit for us not to have a sad feeling is you can still go to work and be productive. It's a benefit for us not to have a depressed feeling. It's a benefit for us to be like, well, you hurt me. I can cut you off and I can keep on moving. The goal isn't healing. And my husband often says this about our medical care system. It's just how do we get you back out the door if anybody's ever been to the ER or you've ever been ill or you need something? I think of even recently, I think, I don't dunno if I told you this, but I got a letter in the mail, I've been taking thyroid medicine, which I need, and they're like, no, you can't take that thyroid medicine.(16:34):It's not covered anymore. Well, who decided that according it's Republicans in the big beautiful bill, it's beautiful for them to give permission to insurance companies, not to pay for my thyroid medicine when actually I think of you and I out here in community trying to work with folks and help folks actually participate in our world and live a life maybe they love, that's not perfect, but so how are you going to take away my thyroid medicine as I'm not special though, and you're not special to a system. So I think it is beneficial for healing to be like, how do you do this thing by yourself and get better by yourself, impact the least amount of people as possible with your bad feelings. Bad feelings. Yeah. That's kind of how I think of it when you talked about that.(17:50):So if our job is this and we know we're in this quote system and we imagine more collective community care, I know you're touring the country, you're seeing a lot of different things. What are you seeing when you meet with people? Are you connect with people? Are there any themes or what are you noticing?Jenny (18:09):Yeah, Sean and I joked, not joked before we moved into the van that this was our We Hate America tour and we were very jaded and we had a lot of stereotypes and we were talking at one point with our friend from the south and talking shit about the south and our friend was like, have you even ever been to the south? And we were like, no. And Rick Steves has this phrase that says it's hard to hate up close. And the last two years have really been a disruption in our stereotypes, in our fears, in our assumptions about entire groups of people or entire places that the theme has really felt like people are really trying their best to make the world a more beautiful place all over in a million different ways. And I think there are as many ways to bring life and beauty and resistance into the world as there are bodies on the planet.(19:21):And one of my mentors would say anti-racism about something you do. It's about a consciousness and how you are aware of the world. And that has been tricky for me as a recovering white savior who's like, no, okay, what do I do? How do I do the right thing? And I think I've been exposed to more and more people being aware whether that awareness is the whole globe or the nation or even just their neighbors and what does it mean to go drop off food for their neighbor or different ways in which people are showing up for each other. And sometimes I think that if we're only ever taught, which is often the case in therapy to focus on the trauma or the difficult parts, I think we're missing another part of reality, which is the beauty and the goodness and the somatic experiencing language would be the trauma vortex or your counter vortex.(20:28):And I think we can condition ourselves to look at one or focus on one. And so while I'm hesitant to say everything is love and light, I don't think that's true. And I don't think everything is doom and gloom either. And so I think I'm very grateful to be able to be in places where talking to people from Asheville who experienced the insane flooding last year talking about how they don't even know would just drop off a cooler of spring water every morning for them to flush their toilets and just this person is anonymous. They'll never get praise or gratitude. It was just like, this is my community. This is one thing I can do is bring coolers of water. And so I think it's just being able to hear and tell those stories of community gives us more of an imagination for how we can continue to be there for community.Danielle (21:38):Yeah, I like that. I like that. I like that you had this idea that you were willing to challenge it or this bias or this at the beginning just talking about it that you're willing to challenge.Jenny (21:59):Yeah, we said I think I know two things about every state, and they're probably both wrong. And that's been true. There's so much we don't know until we get out and experience it.Danielle (22:14):I think that's also symptom of, I think even here, I know people, but I don't know them. And often even just going someplace feeling like, oh, I don't have the time for that, or I can't do that, and the barriers, maybe my own exhaustion is true. I have that exhaustion or someone else has that exhaustion. But even the times I've avoided saying hi to someone or the times I've avoided small connections, I just think a lot, and maybe what is tiring is that the therapeutic model has reinforced isolation without having this other. You're talking about the counter vortex when we talk about healing is done in community, healing is done by witnessing, and somehow the assumption is that the therapist can be all of that witnessing and healing and community, and you're paying us and we're there and we're able to offer insight and we've studied and we have a professional job and we're not enough.(23:33):I often find myself in a state of madness and I can't do everything and I can speak to what I've chosen to do recently, but how do I function as a therapist in a system? I want people to feel less anxious. I want to be there, offer insights around depression or pay attention to their body with them. All of these really good, there aren't bad. They're good things. But yet when I walk out my door, if kids are hungry, that burden also affects my clients. So how do I not somehow become involved as an active member of my community as a therapist? And I think that's frustrated me the most about the therapy world. If we see the way the system is hurting people, how is our professional, it seems like almost an elite profession sometimes where we're not dug in the community. It's such a complicated mix. I don't know. What are you hearing me say? Yeah,Jenny (24:40):Yeah. I'm thinking about, I recently read this really beautiful book by Susan Rao called Liberated to the Bone, and Susan is a craniosacral therapist, so different than talk therapy, but in it, there was a chapter talking about just equity in even what we're charging. Very, very, very, very few people can afford 160 plus dollars a week(25:13):Extra just to go to therapy. And so who gets the privileges? Who gets the benefits from the therapy? And yet how do we look at how those privileges in themselves come at the expense of humanity and what is and what privileged bodies miss out on because of the social location of privilege? And yeah, I think it's a symptom that we even need therapy that we don't have communities where we can go to and say, Hey, this thing happened. It was really hard. Can we talk about it? And that is devastating. And so for me it's this both. And I do think we live in a world right now where therapy is necessary and I feel very privileged and grateful to be a therapist. I love my clients, I love the work I get to do. And I say this with many of my new clients.(26:22):My job is to work myself out of a job. And my hope is that eventually, eventually I want you to be able to recreate what we're growing here outside of here. And I do mean that individually. And I also mean that collectively, how do I work towards a world where maybe therapy isn't even necessary? And I don't know that that will ever actually happen, but if that gets to be my orientation, how does that shift how I challenge clients, how I invite them to bring what they're bringing to me to their community? And have you tried talking to that person about that? Have you tried? And so that it doesn't just become only ever this echo chamber, but maybe it's an incubator for a while, and then they get to grow their muscles of confrontation or vulnerability or the things that they've been practicing in therapy. Outside of therapy.Danielle (27:29):And I know I'm always amazed, but I do consistently meet people in different professions and different life circumstances. If you just sit down and listen, they offer a lot of wisdom filled words or just sometimes it feels like a balm to me. To hear how someone is navigating a tough situation may not even relate to mine at all, but just how they're thinking about suffering or how they're thinking about pain or how they're thinking about feeling sad. I don't always agree with it. It's not always something I would do. But also hearing a different way of doing things feels kind of reverberates in me, feels refreshing. So I think those conversations, it's not about finding a total agreement with someone or saying that you have to navigate things the same. I think it is about I finding ways where you can hear someone and hearing someone that's different isn't a threat to the way you want to think about the world.Jenny (28:42):As you say that, it makes me think about art. And something Sean often says is that artists are interpreters and their interpreting a human experience in a way that maybe is very, very specific, but in their specificity it gets to highlight something universal. And I think more and more I see the value in using art to talk about the reality of being unhealed. And that in itself maybe gets to move us closer towards whatever it is that we're moving closer towards or even it just allows us to be more fully present with what is. And maybe part of the issue is this idea that we're going to move towards something rather than how do we just keep practicing being with the current moment more honestly, more authentically?Danielle (29:51):I like my kids' art, honestly. I like to see what they interpret. I have a daughter who makes political art and I love it. I'll be like, what do you think about this? And she'll draw something. I'm like, oh, that's cool. Recently she drew a picture of the nativity, and I didn't really understand it at first, but then she told me it was like glass, broken glass and half of Mary's face was like a Palestinian, and the other half was Mexican, and Joseph was split too. And then the Roman soldiers looking for them were split between ice vests and Roman soldiers. And Herod had the face part of Trump, part of an ancient king. I was like, damn, that's amazing. It was cool. I should send it to you.(30:41):Yeah, I was, whoa. I was like, whoa. And then another picture, she drew had Donald Trump invading the nativity scene and holding a gun, and the man drew was empty and Joseph and Mary were running down the road. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. It is just interesting to me how she can tell the truth through art. Very, if you met this child of mine, she's very calm, very quiet, very kind, laid back, very sweet. But she has all these powerful emotions and interpretations, and I love hearing my kids play music. I love music. I love live music. Yeah. What about you? What kind of art do you enjoy?Jenny (31:28):I love dance. I love movement. I think there's so many things that when I don't have words for just letting my body move or watching other bodies move, it lets me settle something in me that I'm not trying to find words for. I can actually know that there's much more to being human than our little language center of our brain. I really love movies and cinema. I really love a lot of Polish films that are very artistic and speak to power in really beautiful ways. I just recently watched Hamnet in the theater and it was so beautiful. I just sobbed the entire time. Have you seen it?(32:27):I won't say anything about it other than I just find it to be, it was one of the most, what I would say is artistic films I've seen in a long time, and it was really, really moving and touching.Danielle (32:43):Well, what do you recommend for folks? Or what do you think about when you're thinking through the holiday season and all the complications of it?Jenny (32:57):I think my hope is that there gets to be more room for humanity. And at least what I've seen is a lot of times people making it through the holidays usually means I'm not going to get angry. I'm not going to get frustrated. I'm not going to get sad or I'm not going to show those things. And again, I'm like, well, who decided that we shouldn't be showing our emotions to people? And what if actually we get to create a little bit more space for what we're feeling? And that might be really disruptive to systems where we are not supposed to feel or think differently. And so I like this idea of 5%. What if you got to show up 5% more authentically? Maybe you say one sentence you wouldn't have said last year, or maybe you make one facial expression that wouldn't have been okay, or different things like that. How can you let yourself play in a little bit more mobility in your body and in your relational base? That would be my hope for folks. And yeah.Jenny (34:26):What would you want to tell people as they're entering into holiday season? Or maybe they feel like they're already just in the thick of the holidays?Danielle (34:35):I would say that more than likely, 90% of the people you see that you're rubbing shoulders with that aren't talking to you even are probably feeling some kind of way right now. And probably having some kind of emotional experience that's hard to make sense of. And so I know as we talk people, you might be like, I don't have that community. I don't have that. I don't have that. And I think that's true. I think a lot of us don't have it. So I think we talked about last week just taking one inch or one centimeter step towards connecting with someone else can feel really big. But I think it can also hold us back if we feel like, oh, we didn't do the whole thing at once. So I would say if people can tolerate even just one tiny inch towards connection or a tiny bit more honesty, when someone you notice is how you are and you're like, yeah, I feel kind of shitty. Or I had this amazing thing happen and I'm still sad. You don't have to go into details, but I wonder what it's like just to introduce a tiny a sentence, more of honesty into the conversation.Jenny (35:51):I like that. A sentence more of honesty.Danielle (35:54):Yeah. Thanks Jenny. I love being with you.Jenny (35:57):Thank you, friend. Same. Love you. Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.
durée : 00:12:18 - Les Enjeux internationaux - par : Guillaume Erner - C'est un tremblement de terre politique : au Chili, le candidat ouvertement pinochetiste José Antonio Kast a été élu président, trente-cinq ans après la fin de la dictature. Pourquoi l'héritage de Pinochet ne constitue-t-il plus un repoussoir électoral ? - réalisation : Félicie Faugère - invités : Olivier Compagnon Historien, professeur à l'Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle, à l'Institut des Hautes Etudes d'Amérique Latine, membre de l'Institut Universitaire de France
Son élection était attendue, elle a largement été confirmée dans les urnes : avec 58% des suffrages, José Antonio Kast a été élu président du Chili. Succédant à la gauche de Gabriel Boric, il devient le premier chef d'État d'extrême droite depuis la fin de la dictature d'Augusto Pinochet, que José Antonio Kast ne se cache d'ailleurs pas d'admirer. Alors pourquoi les Chiliens ont-ils fait ce choix ? Après l'Argentine, le Salvador et l'Équateur, jusqu'où le populisme et l'extrême droite s'étendront-ils en Amérique latine ? Comment expliquer cette tendance ? Avec notre invité : - Olivier Compagnon, professeur d'Histoire contemporaine à l'Université Sorbonne Nouvelle/Institut des Hautes Études d'Amérique latine, chercheur au CREDA - Mathilde Allain, enseignante chercheuse à l'Institut des Hautes Études de l'Amérique Latine et au Centre de Recherche et de Documentation sur les Amériques et au CREDA.
C'est un tournant dans la politique étrangère américaine : publié le 5 décembre par l'administration Trump, la Stratégie de sécurité nationale appelle à restaurer la suprématie américaine sur l'Amérique latine, à lutter contre l'immigration incontrôlée, contre les menaces transfrontalières comme la drogue ou le terrorisme et réactive la doctrine Monroe qui, en 1823, interdisait toute intervention européenne sur le continent américain et réciproquement toute ingérence américaine dans les affaires européennes. Aujourd'hui, Donald Trump va plus loin et l'assume. Il étrille les Européens et revendique l'Amérique latine comme sa chasse gardée. Pas question de laisser un pays adverse y positionner des forces ou exploiter des ressources stratégiquement vitales pour les États-Unis. Le document justifie le redéploiement des forces militaires américaines et même l'utilisation de la force létale. Des lignes qui expliquent la guerre engagée, depuis fin août 2025, par Donald Trump dans la mer des Caraïbes, au large du Venezuela, pour lutter contre le narcotrafic, avec une armada militaire impressionnante. En 3 mois, les frappes américaines contre des bateaux accusés sans preuve de transporter de la drogue ont fait plus de 80 morts. L'ONU dénonce des exécutions extrajudiciaires. Le président Nicolas Maduro, lui, voit dans le déploiement américain un prétexte pour le renverser et s'emparer des réserves pétrolières de son pays... Et la tension est encore montée cette semaine. Dans une interview au site Politico mardi, Donald Trump a déclaré à propos de Maduro «ses jours sont comptés» tout en évitant de répondre sur l'envoi de troupes américaines au sol. Jusqu'où ira Donald Trump au Venezuela : veut-il vraiment combattre les narcotrafiquants ou d'abord faire tomber sa bête noire, Nicolas Maduro ? Comment les États-Unis comptent-ils contrer l'accès de la Russie et de la Chine aux ressources pétrolières et minières du continent sud-américain ? Quelle est l'influence de Washington sur la contagion populiste qui frappe la région ? Ce bras de fer Trump/Maduro illustre-t-il le retour de l'interventionnisme américain en Amérique latine ? Avec - Maud Quessard, spécialiste de politique étrangère américaine, directrice du domaine «Europe, Espace Transatlantique Russie» à l'IRSEM. Autrice de «La puissance sans principe.

Aujourd'hui, c'est la sortie du deuxième épisode de notre mini-série sur les sagesses ancestrales d'Amérique Latine afférentes à la maternité, porté par Camille DENOY. Dans cet épisode, Camille vient vous transmettre le fruit de ses recherches, de son expérience et des transmissions qu'elle a reçues des parteras (sages femmes traditionnelles) et des communautés autochtones qu'elle a côtoyées depuis qu'elle vit en Colombie avec son mari et ses trois filles.Camille travaille d'une part dans la construction de filières équitables et d'autre part dans le monde de la parteria ancestrale, puisqu'elle est doula depuis 8 ans et partera en chemin aux côtés des parteras traditionnelles d'Amérique Latine qui lui partagent leurs expériences et savoirs essentiellement par l'oralité.Camille revient dans cet échange sur plusieurs rituels qui accompagnent la femme devenue mère, notamment dans le premier mois de vie du bébé : un mois nommé Cuarentena.Camille revient à la fois sur les massages, les resserrages toniques effectués par les parteras avec les tissus tissés en fibres naturelles trouvées dans les environs des communautés locales, les rituels à travers l'alimentation toujours axés sur les sagesses des plantes médicinales mais également sur la communauté qui se met au service de la femme qui naît mère et qui pense pour elle, au moins pendant les premières semaines de vie du bébé, sans oublier le soin par l'eau à travers sa formation à cette thérapie de l'eau nommée : Janzu.Un épisode de nouveau enrichissant qui vient nous éveiller sur une autre façon de prendre soin de la femme qui vient d'enfanter et qui vient questionner les soins, massages, et tissus qui portent le nom de ces rituels ancestraux dans notre société occidentale et qui sont pour la plupart des cas donnés de manière déconnectée et déracinée de ces savoirs, de ces transmissions et de leur Véritable histoire.Un immense Merci à Camille pour la qualité de ce nouvel échange !➡️ Pour retrouver Camille sur Instagram : @mamacam_
Salvete sodales! Welcome to our series, "Rem Tene;" a Latin podcast presented by Latinitas Animi Causa for beginner and intermediate learners of the Latin language built and designed for the acquisition and understanding of it as a language, not just a code to decipher. In this episode of Rem Tenē, we talk about three common pieces of advice for language learning that you should avoid.
Depuis le début de son second mandat, le président américain a repris et formalisé la «doctrine Monroe», et affirme l'hégémonie des États-Unis sur «l'hémisphère» américain. L'administration Trump l'a confirmé en publiant, vendredi 5 décembre 2025, un document qui redéfinit sa «stratégie de sécurité nationale», alignée sur la philosophie du dirigeant de mettre en avant «l'Amérique d'abord». La publication de ce document n'est «pas une surprise» et vient en réalité formaliser et donner une «cohérence» aux actions des États-Unis déjà en cours sur le continent, depuis le début de l'année, estime Kevin Parthenay, professeur à l'Université de Tours et membre de l'Institut universitaire de France. Il était l'invité de RFI ce mercredi 10 décembre. C'est «une extension de la doctrine Monroe» établie au XIXè siècle et qui consiste à tenter d'établir une hégémonie états-unienne sur la région et à décourager d'autres puissances que les États-Unis d'intervenir dans «l'hémisphère américain», poursuit le chercheur. Cela constitue néanmoins une «rupture» par rapport à la politique menée sous les mandats de Barack Obama et de Joe Biden. À cette période, Washington était «concentrée sur d'autres régions» du monde et l'Amérique latine n'était alors pas vue comme une région stratégique, explique Kévin Parthenay. En revanche, depuis son retour à la Maison Blanche, Donald Trump estime que la stabilité de son pays dépend, au moins en partie, de ce qu'il se passe en Amérique latine. Entretien complet à réécouter en audio ci-dessus. Possible réduction de la peine de Jair Bolsonaro : nuit mouvementée au Parlement brésilien 291 «oui» et 148 «non» : une proposition de loi permettant de réduire énormément la peine de l'ancien président Jair Bolsonaro a été adoptée par la Chambre des députés au Brésil dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi, lors d'une séance particulièrement mouvementée. Si elle est ensuite votée par le Sénat, cette loi permettrait à l'ancien dirigeant d'extrême-droite de voir sa durée de détention réduite à 2 ans et 4 mois de prison, alors qu'il a été condamné pour tentative de coup d'État à 27 ans de prison. La séance parlementaire est très commentée par la presse brésilienne. On y voit le député Glauber Braga (soutien du président de gauche Lula) expulsé manu militari de la chambre par des policiers, dans une impressionnante foire d'empoigne. Pour protester contre le texte défendu par la droite conservatrice et l'extrême-droite, il s'était installé dans le fauteuil du président de la Chambre. Les clichés ont été pris par les députés eux-mêmes car la presse a été contrainte elle aussi de quitter les lieux temporairement. Une «censure» selon O Globo et la fédération des journalistes du Brésil. L'issue du vote n'est en tout cas pas surprenante estime le journal Estado. En effet, les proches de Jair Bolsonaro tentent depuis des mois d'obtenir une amnistie ou une réduction de peine. Ils ont finalement laissé de côté l'idée d'une amnistie au profit du texte voté dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi. L'un des fils de Jair Bolsonaro, Flavio, menaçait de se présenter à la présidentielle et a négocié avec les partis conservateurs à l'assemblée pour retirer sa candidature en échange du vote de cette proposition de loi, déclarait ce mardi (avant le vote) le leader du parti de Lula à la chambre des députés, le parti des travailleurs (PT), rapporte le journal Folha. La République Dominicaine n'est «pas raciste», proclame son président après la mort d'une fillette haïtienne La mort, mi-novembre, de la jeune Haïtienne Stephora Anne-Mircie Joseph continue de faire beaucoup réagir en Haïti. Cette fillette de 11 ans, immigrée en République Dominicaine, s'est noyée dans une piscine lors d'une sortie scolaire organisée par l'établissement où elle étudiait. L'affaire a contraint le président dominicain Luis Abinader lui-même à réagir publiquement : «La République Dominicaine n'est pas un pays raciste», a-t-il assuré lors d'une conférence de presse lundi soir, relayée par Listín Diario. D'après les images de vidéosurveillance, quand Stephora s'est noyée, les encadrantes ont énormément tardé à réagir, malgré les alertes d'autres enfants, raconte le quotidien dominicain, qui a eu accès au dossier de l'enquête. Les secours ont été appelés seulement après son décès, souligne Gazette Haïti. La petite fille avait été confrontée au racisme dans son collège expliquait la mère de Stéphora au média haïtien Ayibopost. Quatre cadres et employées de l'établissement ont été arrêtées et mises en examen, notamment pour homicide involontaire et négligence, précisait le 6 décembre 2025 Listín Diario. Dans le journal de La 1ère... Le ministre de la Justice a inauguré ce mardi (9 décembre 2025) en Martinique une nouvelle structure «d'accompagnement vers la sortie de prison», nous explique Benoît Ferrand.

Plus de 7 millions de Honduriens votent ce dimanche (30 novembre 2025), à la fois pour l'élection présidentielle, les législatives et les municipales. La campagne s'est déroulée dans un climat tendu, les différents camps politiques accusant l'autre de préparer une fraude. Les électeurs, eux, attendent du changement pour améliorer la sécurité et lutter contre la pauvreté qui touche 73% de la population. Notre correspondante au Honduras, Marie Griffon, a rencontré des Honduriens qui malgré des diplômes, ne trouvent pas de travail. Nouvelles menaces des États-Unis contre le Venezuela Les tensions entre le Venezuela et les États-Unis ne s'apaisent pas. Donald Trump menace de lancer des opérations terrestres contre les trafiquants de drogue vénézuéliens. «Nous allons le faire très bientôt», a-t-il déclaré hier (27 novembre) lors d'une allocution télévisée aux forces armées, à l'occasion de Thanksgiving. Juste avant, Nicolas Maduro avait défié les États-Unis. Lors d'un discours adressé aux militaires, retransmise à la télévision d'État, le président vénézuélien a dénoncé «17 semaines de guerre psychologique» orchestrée par Washington, mais qui ne font pas vaciller son pays. L'administration Trump cache de moins en moins son ambition de voir Nicolas Maduro quitter le pouvoir. Le Washington Post le verrait bien se réfugier en Turquie, le cas échéant. Le président vénézuélien y a de nombreux contacts et surtout d'importantes richesses, notamment de l'or, affirme le quotidien. La Turquie y a également intérêt. Elle deviendrait ainsi «un acteur essentiel de la politique étrangère de Trump», analyse Lisel Hintz, spécialiste de la Turquie et professeure à l'Université Johns Hopkins, interrogée par le Washington Post. Après être intervenu dans les dossiers de Gaza, de l'Ukraine et de la Syrie, «le Venezuela pourrait être «le quatrième conflit qu'Erdogan contribue à résoudre avec Trump»», estime Soner Cagaptay, politologue turco-américain, également dans les colonnes du journal. Enfin, Nicolas Maduro et Recep Tayyip Erdogan s'entendent très bien. Une source anonyme au sein de l'administration Trump qui confirme que c'est une piste sur laquelle les autorités travaillent. S'il acceptait de s'exiler en Turquie, Nicolas Maduro ne serait vraisemblablement pas extradé vers les États-Unis où il est mis en examen pour trafic de drogue, corruption et narcoterrorisme, assure encore cet informateur. Se réfugier en Turquie serait un choix positif pour tout le monde, écrit encore le journal. Donald Trump ne perdrait pas la face ; Nicolas Maduro serait en sécurité. Nicolas Maduro protégé par son armée Il n'y a qu'au Venezuela, protégé par l'armée, que Nicolas Maduro est en sécurité, écrit le Wall Street Journal. L'armée restera fidèle au président jusqu'au bout, estiment plusieurs experts interrogés par le Wall Street Journal, car ils sont irrémédiablement liés. Nicolas Maduro ne veut pas céder le pouvoir. Accusé de violations des droits humains, d'enrichissement illicite et de trafic de drogue, il sait que la justice internationale pourrait le rattraper. Et du côté de l'armée, les généraux mouillés dans des trafics de drogue et des affaires de corruption, ont peur de se retrouver en prison si l'opposition arrive au pouvoir. «La cohésion du régime provient de la nécessité pour eux de continuer leurs activités criminelles et de sauver leur peau, un peu comme dans une mafia de lâches», juge un ancien diplomate américain qui a été en poste au Venezuela. Un mégaport pour le Chili Après Chancay au Pérou, le Chili ambitionne, à son tour, de se doter d'un mégaport en agrandissant celui de la ville de San Antonio. Le pays veut ainsi conserver son rôle de porte d'entrée sur le continent, tout en anticipant une augmentation du commerce international dans les décennies à venir. Pour l'instant, sept entreprises, dont deux chinoises, ont répondu à l'appel d'offres. Depuis plusieurs années, Pékin accroît sa présence en Amérique Latine pour devenir la première puissance commerciale mondiale. Mais à San Antonio, l'extension du port préoccupe la population et les défenseurs de l'environnement. Le reportage de Naïla Derroisné.

Hey everybody! Episode 175 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Josie Castañeda. Josie and I share a mutual friend, Ian Darrah, so I was really happy to find that out and to sit down and speak with her. Josie has a really interesting life story that saw her pursue many different paths before returning to her roots. She wrote a beautiful beginners guide to curandersimo drawing upon her different practices and Mexican and Cuban roots. I found it a really good, concise read and was happy to have her share in her story, life experiences and wisdom. She has a lovely energy and I'm sure you all will gain a lot from her wisdom.

La prochaine guerre aura-t-elle lieu au Venezuela ?Alors que le porte-avions américain Gerald Ford vient d'arriver au large du pays d'Amérique latine, la tension monte.Plus d'une dizaine de bâtiments de guerre et plus de 10.000 soldats et marins américains ont été déployés dans la mer des Caraïbes, sous prétexte de lutter contre le trafic de drogue.Au moment de l'enregistrement de ce podcast, les forces armées américaines ont déjà frappé 20 bateaux et tué 76 trafiquants présumés… sans jamais apporter de preuves que les embarcations coulées transportaient des stupéfiants.Ces attaques s'apparentent à des exécutions extrajudiciaires selon le Haut-commissariat des Nations Unies pour les droits de l'homme, qui les juge "inacceptables".La lutte contre le trafic de drogue est-elle un prétexte?Donald Trump souhaite-t-il chasser du pouvoir le président vénézuélien Niicolas Maduro? Le président américain a-t-il d'autres ambitions ?Invités: Yoletty Bracho, maîtresse de conférence en sciences politiques à l'Université d'Avignon, Jean-Jacques Kourliandsky, directeur de l'Observatoire Amérique Latine de la Fondation Jean-Jaurèset Patrick Fort, directeur du bureau de l'AFP à CaracasDoublages Martin Zuber, Christophe Parayre, Léo HuismanRéalisation: Emmanuelle Baillon, Maxime MametLa Semaine sur le fil est le podcast hebdomadaire de l'AFP.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I address a common concern among coaching and consulting clients, which is the question of doing enough. I discuss concepts of discernment and defining 'enough' for yourself by creating personal rules that increase confidence and self-trust. By recognizing your body's signals or cues and setting flexible guidelines, you can make decisions that align with your values and capacity while still making progress on your goals.If you liked what you heard, check episode 333 on how to set goals you'll actually keep and episode 96 on three strategies to exceed not just meet your goals.

This season on Moneda Moves, we have been expanding how we talk about capital, because it's not just about money. It's also about power and access, across sectors. In our last episode of the season, we speak with Patricia Mota – an innovative trailblazer, start-up entrepreneur, author, and more. Today, she's President and CEO of Hispanic Alliance of Career Enhancement (HACE), on a mission to boost the national workforce by cultivating the pipeline of Latine and underrepresented talent by providing the insight, access, and support to their careers. Since Patricia stepped in as CEO in 2015, the budget has quadrupled, membership has tripled to over 150,000, HACE has built over 250 corporate partnerships, and extended the organization's reach across the U.S. and 50 countries. Under her leadership, the nonprofit now offers enhanced programming for youth, senior leaders, entrepreneurs, and diverse audiences worldwide. In 2020, her leadership took a front seat to increasing activity around a newly virtual workforce, where she acted with urgency, communicated with transparency, sought diverse opinions from her team and board, and led with empathy, ultimately leading a thriving organization during such a tumultuous time. In 2021, Patricia added Co-Founder to her list of accolades, collaborating to build SHENIX™, a Fintech startup that is leading the development of a financial tool to help close the wealth gap. (Her cofounder, Olga Camargo, has also been on Moneda Moves in years prior and has been a part of our Forbes coverage.) Patricia chairs digitalundivided, helping women founders gain access to capital, and serves on the boards of the Chicago Foundation for Women, Associated Colleges of Illinois, Chicago Theological Seminary Board of Trustees, and the Northeastern Illinois Foundation Board.Patricia is a proud Mexican-American, Latina, daughter of immigrants, and first-generation college graduate. She is a fitness enthusiast and health and lifestyle aficionado. She grew up in East Chicago, Indiana, and currently resides in Chicago.In this week's season finale episode, Patricia shared what she and her team at HACE are doing to close the wealth gaps in the Latino community. While striving for higher titled positions in your career does bring in more income, it doesn't allow people to access the generational wealth that would help close the current wealth gaps. HACE works to bridge the gap in industries where there is historically limited representation with a focus on ownership. This looks like making sure Latinos negotiate for wealth levers like equity, stock options, profit sharing, and restricted stock units. Patricia also shared how she and HACE partnered with #WeAllGrow to keep the Amigahood community alive in its new chapter. Tune in to hear how you can build more generational wealth and what's next for Patricia and her team.Follow Patricia on Instagram at @PMota7 and @HACEOnline.
