Before the month of love comes to a close, we wanted to share one of our favorite episodes from the archive. Dating is complicated. Not to mention dating on the apps! And for LGBTQI+ folks on the African continent, where many countries criminalise queerness, it's even MORE complicated. We asked reporters in Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Kenya and Namibia to share how they navigate the highs and lows of seeking romance, community and friendship online. Despite all the pitfalls, love calls out to all of us.________Support the work of Radio Workshop by donating today.Support the showWe can only do this work because of your support.

It has now been one year of the second Trump administration, with many attacks to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice aligning entirely with Project 2025's blueprint. Amy Friedrich-Karnik, Director of Federal Policy at the Guttmacher Institute and Anna Bernstein, Principal Federal Policy Advisor at the Guttmacher Institute, sit down to talk with us about the year's assaults on sexual and reproductive health and rights, LGBTQI+ rights, and science and healthcare by the Trump administration. From day one of their return to office, protections for abortion access put in place by the Biden administration were rolled back. This included several protections for privacy, emergency care, and veteran's access. President Trump immediately pardoned anti-abortion activists who had previously violated the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act and has stopped enforcing the act in most places. Anti-science rhetoric increases, with the Food and Drug Administration endorsing junk-science against mifepristone-- one of the drugs used in a medication abortion. To promote mis- and disinformation, data sets, research, and websites were removed from the internet. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act defunded Planned Parenthood and set work restrictions on Medicaid coverage. Additionally, the administration froze Title X funding, expanded the already-expanded Global Gag Rule, and issued endless attacks to the transgender community.For more information, check out Future Hindsight: https://www.futurehindsight.com/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

L'émission 28 minutes du 12/02/2026 Joann Sfar dessine l'après 7-Octobre, entre Paris, Ramallah et Tel-Aviv Le dessinateur, mais aussi écrivain, réalisateur et professeur à l'École des Beaux-Arts, Joann Sfar, publie “Terre de sang. Le temps du désespoir”, aux éditions Les Arènes. Ce troisième livre vient clore le cycle commencé avec “Nous vivrons” et “Que faire des Juifs ?”, consacrés aux conséquences du 7 octobre 2023. Il explorait la résurgence de l'antisémitisme dans la société française, tout comme sa continuité dans l'histoire mondiale. Avec ce nouvel opus, sous la forme d'une BD reportage, le dessinateur est allé à la rencontre des habitants du Proche-Orient, à Ramallah, Naplouse, Hébron ou encore Jérusalem. Affaire Epstein : un lent poison pour la démocratie ? Plus de trois millions de documents déclassifiés, 2 000 vidéos et des dizaines de milliers d'images mises à la disposition de tous : l'affaire Epstein a pris une nouvelle dimension le 30 janvier. En novembre 2025, le Congrès américain a approuvé à une large majorité la loi sur la transparence des dossiers Epstein, promulguée, peu après, par Donald Trump. En juillet 2019, Jeffrey Epstein est arrêté et accusé, notamment, de diriger un vaste réseau de prostitution de mineurs. Il meurt en prison quelques semaines plus tard sans jamais avoir été jugé. Aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni ou encore en Norvège, la déclassification de ces dossiers révèle des liens entre Jeffrey Epstein et des hauts-responsables. En France, l'ancien ministre de la Culture, Jack Lang, a démissionné de la présidence de l'Institut du monde arabe après l'ouverture d'une enquête du Parquet national financier pour ses liens avec le criminel sexuel. Alors que Laurence Fournier Beaudry et Guillaume Cizeron viennent de remporter l'or olympique en danse sur glace, Xavier Mauduit nous raconte l'histoire de la jeune patineuse Lidwine canonisée par le pape Léon XIII. Marie Bonnisseau s'intéresse au retrait par l'administration Trump du drapeau arc-en-ciel du Stonewall National Monument, à New York, lieu emblématique de la défense des droits de la communauté LGBTQI+. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Près de quinze ans après l'arrivée de Tinder, les applications de rencontre sont devenues incontournables : 75 millions d'utilisateurs dans le monde, et en France, une personne sur quatre a déjà tenté l'expérience. Mais derrière ces chiffres impressionnants se cache une réalité plus sombre.  Swipes à l'infini, conversations qui mènent nulle part, ghosting et comportements irrespectueux… Pour beaucoup, la promesse de la rencontre facile s'est transformée en épuisement numérique. Ce phénomène porte un nom : la dating fatigue. Pourquoi ces applications finissent-elles par lasser ? Est-ce la fin des applications de rencontre ?

In this joyful chat, AuDHDer and delightful clinical psychologist Brianna Thomas shares insightful, creative and practical strategies for building affirming spaces where neurodivergent and LGBTQI+ young people can explore their identities. We discuss the powerful intersection of neurodivergence and gender/sexual identity, why curiosity beats assumptions every time, and how creativity and parallel play can become your most powerful therapeutic tools. Also, flowers, glue and banana bread. "If I don't regulate, how can they possibly be expected to do what we say if we are not doing it in front of them and really authentically living it out in that moment?" – Brianna Thomas We cover: The high crossover between neurodivergence and LGBTQI+ identities and what adults need to understand How to create psychologically safe spaces through creativity, curiosity, thoughtful intake forms, and flexible communication Why slowing the pace (without blocking exploration) helps everyone process identity journeys together School strategies: bathroom accommodations, roll call flexibility, and family communication The power of parallel play and co-regulation in therapeutic sessions Bringing creativity into everything: why "making a sandwich" counts as creative practice Moving beyond worksheets to rocks with googly eyes, paint, clay, and colorful chaos Resources Mentioned: Trans Hub: transhub.org.au – Information for clinicians, parents, and trans young people The Gender Identity Workbook for Teens – Structured resource for exploring gender journey (with quizzes and activities for individuals, families, or therapists): https://www.thenile.com.au/books/andrew-maxwell-triska-msw-lcsw/gender-identity-workbook-for-teens/9781648765087 Beautiful Oops! by Barney Saltzberg – Picture book about finding opportunity in mistakes and imperfection: https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Oops-Barney-Saltzberg/dp/076115728X Connect with Brianna Thomas: ADHD IRL Podcast: Listen on Spotify The Psych Hive: thepsychhive.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepsychhive/ and https://www.instagram.com/brianna_thomas_psych/  

Confira no Morning Show desta quarta-feira (04): A Polícia de Santa Catarina concluiu o inquérito do caso do cão Orelha e pediu a internação de apenas um dos quatro adolescentes investigados, que foi apontado como o principal responsável pela agressão que levou à morte do cachorro. Além desse jovem, três adultos sendo um tio e dois pais desses jovens envolvidos também foram indiciados por tentativa de coação a testemunhas. Para falar sobre o caso, o Morning Show conversa com a ativista dos direitos dos animais, Luísa Mell. O Congresso Nacional aprovou projetos que reajustam salários e criam novas gratificações para servidores do Legislativo, abrindo espaço para remunerações que podem ultrapassar o teto de R$ 46 mil. As propostas foram votadas com urgência logo após a retomada dos trabalhos e receberam aval tanto da Câmara quanto do Senado. O líder do PL no Senado, Rogério Marinho, visitou o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, que está preso na Papudinha, e revelou detalhes do encontro. De acordo com Marinho, Bolsonaro está animado com a candidatura do filho, Flávio, e está com um sentimento de injustiça por sua própria condenação, mas está sereno de que a população brasileira vai reconhecer seu legado em Flávio. Além disso, Marinho disse que Bolsonaro está tranquilo com a possível perda de patente, uma vez que ainda não foi definida. O governo federal deve enviar ao Congresso Nacional, após o carnaval, um projeto de lei com urgência constitucional para acabar com a escala de trabalho 6x1, segundo o líder do PT na Câmara, Lindbergh Farias. A proposta prevê votação rápida e é considerada prioridade pelo presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, que defende o fim do modelo sem redução salarial. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, elogiou o líder colombiano Gustavo Petro após um encontro na Casa Branca que marcou uma reaproximação entre os dois governos depois de um ano de tensões diplomáticas. Trump afirmou que a reunião foi “muito boa” e destacou a intenção de trabalhar em conjunto com a Colômbia no combate ao tráfico de drogas, uma das principais prioridades americanas na região. Os líderes também discutiram temas como sanções e possíveis ações contra grupos guerrilheiros e organizações terroristas na Venezuela, sinalizando uma nova fase de cooperação estratégica entre os países. As investigações sobre o Caso Master continuam. Mais uma apuração apontou que um operador ligado ao Daniel Vorcaro criou uma rede de fundos para desviar recursos do Banco Master. Ao mesmo tempo, clientes que contratavam empréstimos ou serviços financeiros no chamado Willbank, um banco digital, afirmam que passaram a encontrar dívidas registradas como ativas e ou então em atraso no Banco Central. A Justiça do Rio de Janeiro determinou a nova prisão do rapper Mauro Davi dos Santos Nepomuceno, conhecido como Oruam, após a revogação de seu habeas corpus pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ). A decisão foi motivada por 28 interrupções no monitoramento eletrônico em um período de 43 dias, o que indicaria risco de fuga e descumprimento das medidas cautelares impostas. A Câmara Municipal de Belo Horizonte discute sobre um Projeto de Lei que proíbe a presença de crianças em eventos carnavalescos, artísticos, culturais, LGBTQI a mais e outros que apresentem exposição de nudez ou conteúdo inapropriado para menores de idade. Foram 24 votos favoráveis, 13 votos contrários e três abstenções. O texto agora precisa ir a plenário novamente, ser votado em segundo turno, o que ainda não tem data para acontecer antes de seguir então para veto ou sanção do prefeito Álvaro Damião. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

Nearly half of Australia's LGBTIQ+ workers say they have faced discrimination and harassment in the past year. - Hampir setengah dari pekerja LGBTIQ+ di Australia mengatakan mereka telah menghadapi diskriminasi dan pelecehan dalam setahun terakhir.

The Global Gag Rule, started by President Ronald Regan in 1984, prevented foreign NGOs from receiving U.S. family planning assistance if they performed, promoted, advocated for, counseled on, or referred patients for abortion. It has gone in and out of place since then, depending on who is in the White House. It was expanded during the first Trump administration to apply not only to family planning funding, but all of global health funding. Caitlin Horrigan, Senior Director of Global Advocacy at the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Beirne Roose-Snyder, Senior Policy Fellow at the Council for Global Equality, sit down to talk with us about the new and purposefully broad expansion on an already-devastating rule.  The Global Gag Rule impacts the most marginalized—women and girls, Black and brown people, the LGBTQI+ community, those in humanitarian settings, those living rurally, people living with disabilities, and more. At the 2026 March for Life, JD Vance announced the policy, “Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance”, which includes three federal rules applying to grants and contracts coming from the State Department. It operationalizes and expands the existing global gag rule to all foreign assistance, to new actors (including new governments), and with new definitions. It also applies to those promoting “gender ideology” and “discriminatory equity ideology” or engagement in “unlawful diversity, equity, and inclusion-related discrimination.” These rules are purposefully long and complicated to create less obvious legal challenges. This expansion lands on top of an already devastated global health landscape.Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Around 300 players from all over the world compete here — open to the LGBTQI community and their allies.

It has officially been one year since the beginning of the second Trump term. Almost immediately, the administration dismantled global public health, including sexual and reproductive health. Gender equity and LGBTQI+ health and rights, especially transgender health and rights, have been consistently attacked. Jessica Mason Pieklo sits down to talk with us about the administration's recent strategies of authoritarianism, and what to continue to watch for. In January, the Supreme Court heard arguments to a case challenging Idaho's and West Virginia's ban on trans girls playing sports. At its core, the cases ask the legal question as to whether categorical sports bans based on gender identity violate the Equal Protection Clause and Title IX of the Civil Rights Act. With this month marking Roe v. Wade's decision anniversary, fears continue to grow over access to mifepristone and telehealth. The concept of fetal personhood is being brought into legislative sessions all over the country, while birth control could be a new target. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

We are approximately one year into Trump 2.0, where the administration has dismantled the systems we have worked to build. Civil rights offices have been gutted, DEI programs paused or eliminated, data erased, and enforcement mechanisms present behind-the-scenes. Meanwhile, the decimation of USAID and the de-prioritization of global health have led to a radically different foreign policy architecture and the closure of health clinics, service disruption, and the shutdown of community organizations abroad. Gayatri Patel and Preston Mitchum, Senior Fellows with rePROs Fight Back, sit down to talk with us about attacks to LGBTQI+ rights and gender, and how these attacks intersect.Attacks on gender equality have been front and center, as evidenced by the early release and adoption of Project 2025. This is, of course, exacerbated by attacking DEI and inclusion. From the federal to the state level, all-out assaults on gender equality, transgender health and rights, and sexual and reproductive health and rights continues. Attacks on LGBTQI+ issues are insidiously persistent. This includes the restriction of access to gender affirming care, the banning of transgender people from school sports, and the stripping of inclusive terms from federal guidance. Black and brown LGBTQI+ people, especially those dealing with poverty, immigration systems, or disability, are disproportionately feeling the rollbacks in rights. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Les accords de paix signés en 2016 entre le gouvernement colombien et les FARC ont ouvert une nouvelle phase du conflit armé. Aujourd'hui encore, il y a des groupes armés actifs dans le pays. Ils constituent une menace directe pour les populations LGBTQI+, déjà durement éprouvées avant le processus de paix par des décennies de violences sexuelles, de menaces, de disparitions forcées et d'assassinats ciblés. Un dossier de Sarah Krakovitch.   Les groupes armés imposent des normes de genre strictes dans les territoires qu'ils contrôlent et font des personnes LGBTQI+ des cibles privilégiées de la violence. Selon l'International Crisis Group, les guérillas exploitent la vulnérabilité des minorités de genre pour asseoir leur domination territoriale, multipliant agressions, menaces et violences marquées par des préjugés transphobes. Depuis les accords de paix de 2016, la fragmentation des groupes armés a accru l'insécurité : les règles changent selon les zones et les chefs locaux, rendant toute stratégie de protection quasi impossible pour les populations LGBTQI+. Cette insécurité est palpable grâce au témoignage de Gabriela, une militante transgenre colombienne contrainte de déménager à plusieurs reprises après avoir reçu des menaces liées à son engagement. Selon l'ONG Caribe Afirmativo, 164 personnes LGBTQI+ ont été assassinées en Colombie en 2024, soit presque une tous les deux jours depuis 2023. Comment partager l'eau entre les Etats-Unis et le Mexique ? C'est l'histoire de deux voisins. D'un côté le Mexique, de l'autre les Etats-Unis. Pour arroser leurs jardins respectifs, ils se partagent des tuyaux depuis 80 ans. Mais depuis, des sécheresses sont passés par là...  les débit se sont réduits... Et le partage n'est plus équitable...Ce qui a poussé Donald Trump à dépoussiérer ce vieux traité de 1944 sur le partage de l'eau. Il reproche à México de ne plus en respecter les obligations. Depuis le Mexique s'est engagé à verser 246 millions de mètre cubes d'eau de l'autre côté de la frontière. Mais en est-il vraiment capable ? D'ailleurs est-il vraiment coupable de cette situation ? Le nouvel accord signé le 13 décembre dernier sera-t-il durable ? Joris Zylberman en parle avec le spécialiste de l'Amérique latine Jean-Louis Martin, chercheur à l'Institut français des relations internationales. Arrestations de plus en plus filmés, l'offensive médiatique de l'ICE L'ICE, l'agence fédérale chargée de l'immigration, s'est lancée dans une véritable offensive médiatique. Les vidéos montrant des arrestations musclées de migrants se multiplient sur les réseaux sociaux. Et c'est une stratégie pleinement assumée, selon le Washington Post, qui a eu accès à des milliers de messages internes de l'agence. Ces échanges montrent comment l'ICE produit et diffuse massivement ces clips, souvent filmés de manière spectaculaire, afin de répondre aux attentes de la Maison-Blanche. L'objectif est clair : montrer une action musclée, valoriser les expulsions et présenter la politique migratoire comme une bataille pour protéger le mode de vie américain. Le reportage révèle la transformation profonde du service de communication de l'ICE, devenu, sous le second mandat de Donald Trump, une véritable machine médiatique. Les vidéos sont soigneusement mises en scène : choix des images, du vocabulaire, de la musique, tout est pensé pour maximiser le partage et la viralité. Les échanges internes révèlent aussi des propos moqueurs, parfois déshumanisants, et une logique assumée de propagande, en rupture avec la communication plus neutre des administrations précédentes. Mais malgré cette offensive numérique sans précédent, le Washington Post souligne que l'impact sur l'opinion publique reste limité : une majorité d'Américains continue de voir l'immigration comme une richesse et désapprouve la gestion de Donald Trump. Journal d'Outre-mer la 1ère La compagnie aérienne Corsair a reçu le feu vert de la Commission européenne pour son plan de restructuration.

The male (a father) plays a very important role. Masculinity cannot be entirely and comprehensively supplemented by a mother. It is not “do as I say”, it is “do as you see me doing”. The eyes take in the largest amount of information during the communication process.What gets set up in childhood, plays out in adulthood, in how we interact with others; seeking to bond, yet avoid repeat hurt. It is called Insecure Attachment. Insecure Attachment in Adulthood, often presents as “Love Addiction”, where the individual is not so much chasing Love, but connection; acceptance; to be inclusive; to be wanted; to be secure.The stuff of Sex, Porn, Love Addiction is indiscriminate. It impacts, in a significant way, women, children, men, LGBTQI community - cutting across all of the societal stratas and ages - (aged 9 to 75). The scale of addiction is staggering and is at pandemic levels:•          12% of all internet websites contain pornography.•          25% of all search engine queries—68 million per day—relate to sex.•          35% of all downloads are pornographic.•          70% of men aged 18–24 visit porn sites monthly.•          Average first exposure: 11 years old.•          1 in 5 pastors struggle with pornography.•          Over 50% of practising Christians report occasional porn use.•          Neurodivergent individuals show higher compulsive-use rates. Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

Natasha is joined by Dr. Lisa Diamond and Dr. Scout on this episode of the Natasha Helfer Podcast. This is a powerful episode as, in Lisa's words: "Scout and I have witnessed the entire birth and now destruction of the field of queer and trans mental and physical health (Scout is 60, I'm 54), so we have lived through this whole weird arc of seeing lgbtq health become a legitimate profession, and now it's being threatened—it's both personally and professionally devastating for both of us to witness this happening. "It is astounding that at a time when we recently survived a global pandemic that left so many people feeling isolated in ways that has profoundly affected our mental and physical health… and at a time when we have very clear data on the risk of suicide and lessened wellbeing for the LGBTQI+ community due to societal discrimination… that the government is choosing to dismantle and destroy so many departments/entities meant to support the health, science and data collection of ALL Americans." Dr. Diamond and Dr. Scout have created a survey for anyone affected by the current administration. Please consider filling it out. "We launched the study with zero funding, it's driven by pure love and panic, and it's affecting EVERYONE who loves or works with queer or trans people, including family members, friends, social workers, physicians, school, teachers, therapist, educators, EVERYONE. All of us are going through something, and we are going through this at the same time that the federal government has CEASED all data collection on our health. So Scout and I figured "OK, you don't wanna do this? We're just gonna have to do it ourselves." Go here to fill out the survey: https://csbsutah.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9WyKRPONJuL67Yy?fbclid=IwY2xjawOEdthleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoOW43aDJMdnNGb1kwSThZc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkWvMqhUx7OYFY_0kbvt2yVu911j1Ch5DAnsBloLDDgUw1CHSZ3BRNwBhq3A_aem_2e27bX8Xk_kP7utbPv482g Also, if you're an organization that would like to partner with this project reach out to: research@cancer-network.com From Natasha: I loved Lisa's reminder that we survive oppression and destruction through connection. This is a small thing we can do to make a difference and that in of itself is healing and empowering. Please take the 20-25 minutes to fill out this survey. And please forward it to anyone you know who is impacted.

Canada Immigration IRCC -2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan, released by on October 24,2025  2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan  Each year, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship tables the Immigration Levels Plan, a forward-looking snapshot of immigration targets for the next three years.  The plan provides permanent resident admissions targets for 2025, with notional commitments for 2026 and 2027. For the first time, we're extending our levels plan to also include targets for temporary residents, taking into account the full scope of all newcomers and helping reduce temporary resident volumes to 5% of Canada's population by the end of 2026.  Development of the levels plan  When developing the Levels Plan, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) considers  priorities and objectives for immigration, including those set out in the Immigration Refugee and Protection Act economic and regional needs international obligations and commitments processing capacity the capacity to settle, integrate and retain newcomers Throughout the year, IRCC engages with a broad range of stakeholders and partners, including provinces and territories, to help inform our plan. IRCC also conducts public opinion research through surveys and focus groups with newcomers, Canadians living in rural areas, Francophones living in communities outside of Quebec, as well as Indigenous Peoples.  Findings from these consultations and public engagement initiatives informed the Immigration Levels Plan and are published in the Levels Consultation Report.  Permanent resident targets  Permanent resident programs include economic streams, family reunification, refugees and protected persons, and humanitarian and compassionate admissions.  This year's levels plan reduces permanent resident targets starting in 2025 and forecasts decreases for the following two years, resulting in a pause in population growth in the short term to achieve well-managed, sustainable growth and economic prosperity for the long term.  The plan  represents an overall decrease of 105,000 admissions in 2025, as compared to projected 2025 levels prioritizes in-Canada applicants and pathways for those already here More than 40% of anticipated permanent resident admissions in 2025 will be from those who are already in Canada as temporary residents. Research has demonstrated that newcomers with in-Canada experience have positive long-term success. These skilled, educated newcomers can continue to support the workforce and economy, without placing additional demands on our social services. Adjustments will be made to our economic immigration streams to prioritize transitions of workers already here to permanent residents and to be responsive to labour market needs—our in-Canada focus. We will put emphasis on our federal economic priorities in programs, including the Canadian experience class and regional immigration programs, to attract workers we need, such as in health care and trades occupations. focuses on economic immigration, with approximately 62% of total permanent resident admissions that will be dedicated to the economic class, in key sectors such as health and trades, by 2027 continues to reunite families and loved ones, including spouses, children, parents and grandparents. In 2025, nearly 24% of overall permanent resident admissions will be allocated to the family class upholds Canada's long-standing commitment to resettle the world's most vulnerable, including human rights defenders, LGBTQI+ refugees, religious and ethnic minorities, and women and children in precarious situations strengthens Francophone communities outside Quebec and suppoSupport the show

Anti-Turk protests in Montenegro have added to rising tensions between Serbia and Turkey. The unrest was set off by anger over Ankara's sale of weapons to Kosovo, and growing fears of Turkish influence in the Balkans. “Turks out!” shouted protesters as they marched through Podgorica, the Montenegrin capital. Several Turkish-owned businesses, among the country's largest investors, were ransacked during last month's violence. The clashes were sparked by a knife attack on a Montenegrin citizen by Turkish nationals. After the unrest, Montenegro imposed visa requirements on Turkish visitors. Some opposition parties accused Serbia of stoking the protests, pointing to rising friction between Belgrade and Ankara over the arms sale to Kosovo. “There are those accusing the Serbian region of being behind it,” Vuk Vuksanovic, of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, told RFI. “Although I have seen no material evidence.” Widening rift While Serbia has not commented on the accusations, it has the capacity to incite such unrest given its strong influence in Montenegro, Vuksanovic said. “The drama involving Montenegro has built up to this difficult atmosphere in Serbian-Turkish relations,” he said. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic last month accused Turkey of trying to resurrect the Ottoman Empire through the sale of sophisticated drones to Kosovo, which broke away from Serbia in 1999. Analysts say the weapons deal could shift the balance of power in the region. “There are the kamikaze drones, which are posing a threat, and there are also strategic drones likely to be used to secure the border itself and more as a show of force,” said Zoran Ivanov, a security expert from the Institute of National History in Skopje, North Macedonia. “So it poses a direct security threat to Serbia and Serbia has to react to this.” Criminalising identity: Turkey's LGBTQI+ community under threat Changing alliances The tension marks a sharp turnaround. In recent years, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had built a close relationship with his Serbian counterpart, and Turkish companies became major investors in Serbia. However the arms sale to Kosovo reveals a shift in Turkey's relations with Belgrade, explained international relations professor Huseyin Bagci, of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. “Turkey has more leverage than Serbia,” Bagci said. “The relations between Turkey and Serbia, we understand each other, but it is not as happy as before.” Analysts say the shift reflects Ankara's wider ambitions in the Balkans. “Ankara is trying to increase its influence and will do it,” said Bagci, adding that Turkey's historical and cultural ties to the region run deep – with millions of families tracing their roots back to the former Ottoman territories. “The Ottoman Empire was a Balkan empire. The Turkish influence is getting bigger, and of course, they don't like it. But Turkey is the big brother in the Balkans.” Turkish Cypriot vote could force shift in Erdogan's approach to divided island Turkish expansion Last month, Turkish forces took command of NATO's KFOR peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. At the same time, Turkish businesses continued expanding across the region. “They're expanding their markets; they're expanding their capabilities; they're expanding their influence,” Ivanov said. Turkey's renewed focus on the Balkans was unsurprising given historical ties, he added. “That's natural for the Turks to come to invest in the region and now looking for their old roots." However its expanding presence might feel like history repeating itself, Ivanov warned. As “a man who is coming from the Balkans,” he said, he sees “the Turks coming as they were in history” – a reminder of a past many in the region have not forgotten. The European Union has praised Ankara for supporting peacekeeping operations and economic aid in Kosovo. But analysts caution that Turkey must avoid alienating its Balkan neighbours. “Ankara also has to be mindful of its own limitations of its own Balkan ambitions," Vuksanovic. said. "Because otherwise it can push majority Christian Orthodox nations like the Serbs, Greeks and Bulgarians to work against the Turks if the Turks are perceived to be too provocative or aggressive.”

Right now, across South Africa, social media is turning purple. Profile pictures, timelines, stories, all drenched in a colour that's become a symbol of pain, power, and protest. But this isn't just a trend. It's a cry for help. It's a demand for change, because in this country, a woman is murdered every 2.5 hours. Because 117 rape cases are reported every single day and thousands more go unspoken. Because women and children are being violated in their homes, in their communities, and in their silence. The G20 Women's Shutdown, led by Women for Change, coincides with the G20 Leaders' Summit, which will be held in Johannesburg on 22 and 23 November. They are urging participants to avoid spending money for the entire day. The aim is to demonstrate the scale of the economic and social impact that women and LGBTQI+ individuals hold in their daily lives and what happens when their voices and labour are withdrawn. Additionally, as part of the shutdown, participants are being called to take part in a symbolic moment of silence at 12pm: lying down for 15 minutes to honour the 15 women who are murdered every day in this country. It's a powerful gesture meant to reflect both the scale of the tragedy and the urgency for change. Supporters of the shutdown are calling on the government to immediately declare GBV and femicide a national disaster. This, they argue, would trigger nationwide mobilisation of resources and political focus. On Friday, 21 November, women across South Africa plan to bring the country to a standstill.

International human rights groups are calling for the withdrawal of proposed legislation against Turkey's LGBTQI+ community, who warn that the law could effectively criminalise their community, which is already facing a growing legal crackdown. This week, the New York-based Human Rights Watch called on the Turkish government to drop a proposed law targeting the country's LGBTQI+ community. Amnesty International has made a similar demand. Rights groups sound the alarm The proposed legislation, which was leaked to the media, criminalises attitudes and actions deemed contrary to biological sex, carrying sentences of up to three years in prison. “It's really one of the worst reforms, or proposed reforms, we've seen in many years,” warns Emma Sinclair-Webb, Turkey director of Human Rights Watch. “Because it basically says that the government or the authorities can decide that certain behaviour and attitudes are contrary to biological sex and general morality, and are criminal on that basis.” Turkey's Pride struggling to survive amid LGBTQ+ crackdown Widespread impact Sinclair-Webb claims that with the proposed law criminalising the promotion of the LGBTQI+ community, its impact would be far-reaching. “That could affect journalists reporting on matters connected with gender, sexuality and gender identity. It could mean NGOs working to defend the rights of LGBTQI+ people from stigmatisation and discrimination.” Since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923, homosexuality has never been criminalised. But LGBTQI+ rights advocates warn that this could change, given the broadly written nature of the proposed law. “It's not even same-sex sexual acts that are criminalised. It's just your appearance. Because the law says anything against biological sex. I mean, it could be very widely interpreted,” explains Öner Ceylan of Lambda a LGBTQI+ rights group in Turkey “So, this could be a woman with short hair or wearing trousers,” adds Ceylan. “Let's say I'm on the streets, I'm being myself, and I can go to jail for it for three months. Then I'm released, and what happens next? I can easily go back to jail according to that law. So it can be a perfect excuse to imprison an LGBTQI+ person.” Turkey's embattled civil society fears worst as foreign funding dries up Decade of crackdowns Under the proposed law, people could face between three months and three years in prison, opening the door to lengthy pre-trial detention and the risk of mass arrests  - a prospect that worries rights groups. Since the early 2000s, Turkey's LGBTQI+ community has become increasingly visible and vibrant, particularly in Istanbul, with gay clubs, cafés and bars. The city once hosted large Pride marches, with the 2015 event drawing over one hundred thousand people. However, for the past decade, Turkey's religiously conservative government has been cracking down on the community in the name of protecting the family. Pride marches have been banned since 2015. “Now they've banned any kind of LGBTQI+ event in the public sphere,” explains Yıldız Tar of Kaos, an LGBTQI+ group. “We no longer share public venues or their addresses. So we are already living a kind of criminalised life, as if many queer people coming together is a criminal activity, which it is not.” Tar warns that the proposed law represents the endgame in the government's campaign. “It's the result of a decade-long war against LGBTQI+ people, and if this law passes, this is the last step.” Turkey's embattled civil society fears worst as foreign funding dries up Rising rhetoric and rising In September, the Turkish Interior Ministry filed a criminal complaint against openly gay pop singer Mabel Matiz, alleging that one of his songs violated morals and obscenity laws. Meanwhile, an all-women pop group, Manifest, was detained under the country's morality laws for one of their performances, prompting the group to end their sell-out national tour. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been ramping up his rhetoric against the LGBTQI+ community, even equating it with terrorism. The proposed legislation also targets the country's transgender community, banning gender-affirming healthcare for those under the age of 25. The LGBTQI+ community has vowed to step up its protests against the law and has secured the support of Turkey's two main opposition parties in opposing it. But Tar warns that if the law passes, many in the community will likely flee the country -  though he says he and others are ready to resist, whatever the cost. “We will continue to do our work, to share the very basic knowledge that being LGBTQI+ is not a threat to society. It's not a threat to the family,” declares Tar. “But it will be harder, and most of us will end up in jail.”

The hosts play audio of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Citizens United President Dave Bossie, who blast Democrats for prioritizing wasteful foreign aid and special-interest spending over funding the military and border security. The hosts reveal a hidden facet of the trade war with China: a potential tariff on "used cooking oil" (gutter oil), which hurts U.S. soybean farmers. Steve then interviews Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls, an Army veteran and successful businessman, who presents a common-sense, three-part plan to defeat Tim Walz and restore "normal" to Minnesota by cutting taxes, fighting crime, and fixing education.   Political Hypocrisy and the Shutdown Democrat Sabotage: The hosts and guests condemn Democrats for engaging in "performative stunts" and holding out on a clean funding bill for "pure politics". They point out that Schumer's stated goal is to "fix the health care crisis looming over the American people" , which the hosts believe is a fight solely to fund health care for illegal immigrants. Exposing Wasteful Spending: Mike Johnson and Dave Bossie list examples of the Democrats' "reckless" spending that Republicans are trying to cut, including: $24.6 million to "climate resilience in Honduras" $13.4 million for "civic engagement in Zimbabwe" $3.9 million for "LGBTQI democracy grants in the Balkans" Consequences for Americans: Farmers are unable to cash hundreds of thousands of dollars in checks because the FSA (Federal Crop Lending) offices are closed. Mike Johnson warns that the Democrats' choice is causing "real personal and economic strain" for troops, TSA, and air traffic controllers. Fetterman's Common Sense: Senator John Fetterman is praised as a reasonable Democrat for publicly stating that conservative Trump supporters are "not fascists" or trying to destroy the Constitution.   Trade, Agriculture, and China The Gutter Oil Threat: President Trump threatened to place a 100% tariff on goods, specifically "used cooking oil," coming from China. Hurting U.S. Farmers: This used cooking oil is often called "gutter oil" in China. While it is not imported for direct food use, it's used as a cheap ingredient (one-third the price of soybean oil) in biofuel production. The hosts and callers argue that banning this oil would boost demand and prices for U.S. soybeans. Bison Rankings: The NDSU Bison football team is ranked number 38 in…

Lawyered, sits down with us to give us a holistic view of cases, tells us what to expect in the new court term, and highlights which cases we should be keeping an eye on in the lower courts.A collection of cases over the summer gave us a peek into the health of the Supreme Court—especially the conservative majority's willingness to facilitate the Trump administration's agenda. Coming up this term includes a challenge to Colorado's ban on conversion therapy (Chiles v. Salazar), a West Virginia ban on transgender girl's participation in sports (B.P.J. v. West Virgina Board of Education), a case on no-knock searches by law enforcement, and a redistricting case in Louisiana (Louisiana v. Callais).

Send us a textImagine visiting your gastroenterologist and feeling comfortable enough to discuss every aspect of how IBD affects your life—including your sexual health and practices. For many patients, particularly those in the LGBTQI+ community, this remains an elusive dream rather than reality.Dr. Victor Chedid, gastroenterologist and director of Mayo Clinic's Pride Clinic, joins Bowel Moments to tackle this crucial gap in IBD care. With disarming honesty and clinical expertise, he reveals why addressing sexuality isn't just about inclusivity—it's about providing complete medical care. When 95% of providers believe discussing sexual health is important but only 27% actually do it, patients suffer in silence with questions that directly impact their quality of life.The conversation dives deep into practical approaches for both patients and providers. Dr. Chedid shares his framework for discussing sexual practices with patients, from the straightforward question "What do you do for sex?" to navigating complex conversations around surgical interventions like J-pouch formation. For transgender patients, he unpacks recent research on gender-affirming hormones and IBD, emphasizing that life-saving gender-affirming care should never be withheld due to IBD concerns.Perhaps most compelling is Dr. Chedid's perspective on cultural humility and intersectionality. Each patient's experience is shaped by multiple overlapping identities—their sexuality, gender, race, nationality, and more. Rather than making assumptions, he advocates for providers to "leave their biases at the door" and approach each person's unique situation with curiosity and respect."People living with IBD are the experts of their own bodies," Dr. Chedid reminds us in his powerful closing thoughts. "When they say something feels off, it's not a guess—it's lived experience." This principle forms the foundation of truly inclusive care—care that sees patients as whole people deserving of dignity, understanding, and comprehensive treatment.Ready to advocate for more inclusive IBD care?

It can sometimes seem as though fighting for queer rights in a hostile society is an unwinnable project.  All too often, punitive laws, state violence, economic exclusion and social hostility are stacked against a community that is isolated and excluded. That's certainly true in Tunisia and other North African countries. But in this episode, queer Tunisian activist Assala Mdawkhy tells host Akwe Amosu that creating safe spaces and building a movement for LGBTQI rights should be taken as indicators of staying power and eventual success. Contact us at pod@strengthandsolidarity.orgWe are now publishing our newsletter on Substack, if you would like to subscribe: ⁠https://substack.com/@strengthsolidarity⁠
