Internal conflict could oust two of the Democratic National Committee's newest, youngest leaders with bold yet different visions for the future of the party. A procedural complaint will result in a revote for two vice chair positions currently filled by Pennsylvania State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, the first openly LGBTQ elected official of color to serve in the commonwealth, and David Hogg, the prominent Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting survivor and activist. Hogg alleges the revote is retaliation for the separate $20 million initiative he's leading to challenge incumbent Democrats in their “safe blue” primaries, according to Politico. Rep. Kenyatta alleges it isn't true.This week, Katelyn and Christine demystify the Democrats' internal machinations with Rep. Kenyatta. If reelected, Rep. Kenyatta says he wants to win back Democratic voters without sacrificing abortion rights, trans folks, and disabled people, as other elected Democrats have been willing to do in the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election. Rep. Kenyatta outlines his vision for the party: “Make Life Better.” Links:Cancel Me, Daddy's YouTube channelFollow Rep.

We spend the whole program with Nadav Wieman, a former IDF sniper and now executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans who expose the reality of life in the Occupied Territories and work to end the occupation. He and Ralph discuss Nadav's experience in the IDF and his work trying to turn the tide of sentiment in Israel against the ongoing genocide.Nadav Weiman is the executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans who expose the reality of life in the Occupied Territories and work to end the occupation. Mr. Weiman served in a sniper's team in the special forces of the Nahal brigade and attained the rank of staff sergeant. He also worked as a history and literature teacher and was the legal guardian at a home for underprivileged teens in Tel Aviv.Now the soldiers that gave us testimonies told us that they came to the commander and said, "Okay, this is too much." And the commander said, "Listen, we lost too many dogs in the dog unit, so we're using Palestinians as human shields."Nadav Wieman former IDF sniper and Executive Director of Breaking the SilenceWhen the first soldier came to us in December 2023 and told us about using Palestinians as human shields, I thought it was an isolated event. But then another soldier came and another soldier and another soldier, and then we understood. It's a new protocol. It's called the Mosquito Protocol. “Mosquito,” is a code name on the radio saying, take a Palestinian man and put him in an IDF uniform, and in some cases a GoPro camera on his chest. And then soldiers were ordered to send them into tunnels to sweep the tunnels or into homes to sweep the homes.Nadav WiemanYou have another protocol called “Wasp”. The Wasp Protocol is Palestinians sweeping tunnels, but this time our Palestinians working with the IDF were brought from the West Bank. And they were told that they will get something from us, a permit or something like that.Nadav WiemanNews 5/16/251. Trump has abruptly ended the American war on the Houthi militia in Yemen, saying in a press conference, “You know, we hit them very hard. They had a great capacity to withstand punishment…You can say there's a lot of bravery there…It was amazing what they took. But we honor their commitment and their word,” per Prem Thakker. Behind the scenes, a New York Times report exposes the jaw-dropping waste that precipitated the U.S. backing down from this campaign. Some highlights include that the Houthis almost shot down an F-35 fighter jet – which run about $100 million apiece – that this campaign used so many precision munitions that Pentagon contingency planners grew “increasingly concerned about overall stocks,” and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM)'s reported metric of success was “bombs dropped,” evoking the failed campaigns in Vietnam, per the Stimson Center's Emma Ashburn. All in all, this campaign cost $1 billion over the course of just 30 days.2. In more stunning news of Pentagon profligacy, CNN reported on May 6th that a SECOND F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet fell off the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier into the Red Sea following the first lost jet by just over a week. Each of these planes bear a price tag of over $60 million, according to the Navy, just in case you were wondering where your tax dollars are going now that Trump and Musk have slashed the budget of anything resembling a social program.3. In more foreign policy news, Edan Alexander, the last remaining U.S. citizen hostage in Gaza, has been released. Alexander was born and raised in New Jersey, then moved to Israel to serve in the IDF after graduating high school in 2022. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was quoted saying “[Alexander's release] was achieved thanks to our military pressure and the political pressure exerted by President Trump. This is a winning combination.” Meanwhile Trump posted on Truth Social “Edan Alexander, American hostage thought dead, to be released by Hamas. Great news!” Despite this heraldry however, MSN reports Alexander “rebuffed” a personal meeting with Netanyahu. Counter Currents adds “In a video released by Hamas…last November, Alexander harshly criticized Netanyahu…[accusing] the Israeli leader of abandoning the…[hostages]…and urged Trump…to secure his release.” In this video, Alexander told Netanyahu, “You neglected us…We die a thousand times every day, and no one feels our pain.”4. In a similar vein, the Jerusalem Post reports, “The Trump administration's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, criticized Israel in a meeting with hostage families…[saying] ‘We want to bring the hostages home, but Israel is not willing to end the war.'” Witkoff added “Israel is prolonging [the war] despite the fact that we don't see where else we can go and that an agreement must be reached.” Further, the New Arab reports “The Trump administration has…dropped its longstanding demand for Hamas to disarm as a precondition for a Gaza ceasefire.” This willingness to call a spade a spade regarding Israel's intractable opposition to peace, or even a lasting ceasefire – coupled with a seemingly genuine willingness to realistically approach peace talks – has been a marked point of departure compared to the Biden administration, which “Never Pressured Israel for Ceasefire,” according to Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter, as reported in Drop Site News.5. Turning to some positive consumer protection news, “Ticketmaster will now show how much you'll pay for tickets — fees included — before checkout,” the Verge reports. This “All In Prices” initiative is an effort by the company to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's ban on junk fees. The FTC cracked down on Ticketmaster following the 2022 Taylor Swift Eras Tour “ticketing catastrophe.” In addition to the FTC, the Department of Justice sued Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation in 2024, accusing them of “driving up prices as a result of their alleged monopoly,” while the House passed the TICKET Act in 2024, a law that would “force ticket sellers to show full prices upfront.” The Senate is considering that bill now.6. Meanwhile, Igloo has voluntarily widened a recall of their coolers, related to “possible amputation and crushing hazards,” per ABC. The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall notice for a little over a million Igloo 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers back in February, on the basis that “the tow handle can pinch consumers' fingertips against the cooler,” risking “fingertip amputation.” ABC reports this recall now includes “130,000 additional coolers, as well as approximately 20,000 in Canada and 5,900 in Mexico.” According to the CPSC, “since the recall was initiated in February, Igloo has received 78 reports of injuries involving the recalled coolers, including 26 reports of bone fractures, fingertip amputations or lacerations.”7. The first American Pope, Leo XIV, addressed the College of Cardinals on Sunday, in part explaining his decision to take that particular name. According to Business Insider, AI played a major role. The Pope told the college, “I chose to take the name Leo XIV…mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical 'Rerum Novarum' addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution…In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice, and labor.” In a January 2024 message, Pope Francis said “At this time in history, which risks becoming rich in technology and poor in humanity, our reflections must begin with the human heart.”8. Turning to domestic politics, 25-year-old Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg is fighting an uphill battle to remain in his post. The activist and survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting has been a target of the party hierarchs since he refused to disassociate himself from the mission of the organization he cofounded – Leaders We Deserve – which seeks to primary “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats. On May 10th, POLITICO reported that Hogg sought a compromise with the party, vowing that he would erect a “internal firewall,” barring him from “accessing any internal DNC information about congressional and state legislative races as long as he was supporting challengers.” The DNC flatly refused. Instead, it would seem they are trying to oust Hogg by voiding his election, claiming it violated “fairness and gender diversity,” rules, per Semafor. On May 13th, the DNC's Credentials Committee voted to nullify the results of the February election, the Hill reports. According to POLITICO, the full DNC could “opt to hold a virtual vote ahead of the meeting later this summer. Otherwise it will take the issue up during its August meeting.”9. In Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka was “arrested and detained by masked federal immigration police Friday when he joined three Democratic congressmembers set to tour a newly reopened 1,000-bed [ICE] jail run by GEO Group,” Democracy Now! reports. This is the latest installment in the power struggle between federal agents and local officials over immigration, an escalation from the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan in April. Dugan herself was indicted this week for supposedly “obstructing or impeding a proceeding,” per Wisconsin Public Radio. Alina Habba, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, tweeted, “The Mayor of Newark…committed trespass…He has willingly chosen to disregard the law…He has been taken into custody.” She added in all caps, “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.” Chilling words.10. Finally, we pay tribute to Uruguayan revolutionary, anti-dictatorship rebel and former president José “Pepe” Mujica, who passed away this week following a protracted battle with esophageal cancer. Mujica was celebrated throughout the world during his tenure as president for his humble lifestyle; He was called ‘the world's poorest president' famously driving a beat-up old VW bug and donating the bulk of his salary. In 2013, he delivered a bombshell speech at the United Nations in wherein he decried capitalism and the environmental destruction it has wrought. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Greg Grandin eulogized Mujica, writing “He was a member of the insurgent, armed Tupamarus, and served 14 years in prison, much of it in solitary, subject to extreme torture techniques taught by US advisors… Upon his release, he helped build the Frente Amplio into one of the most successful left coalitions. He radiated humility and humanity but he knew that power was meant to be taken and used, and behind his smile was steel. He was 89.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Listen to this compilation of our award-winning series Remembering Pittsburgh, exploring how the horrific shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue affected the Jewish community in Pittsburgh, the U.S., and around the world. In the four-part series, we take listeners behind the scenes of how the Pittsburgh Jewish community continues to rebuild and honor the lives lost on October 27, 2018. The anniversary came during the same month as the most lethal attack on Jews since the Holocaust: Hamas' October 7 massacre of Israelis. Rising antisemitism has led to the murder of Jews around the world, from Pittsburgh, to Paris, to Israel. All forms of antisemitism must be countered to ensure a safe and secure Jewish future.

Episode Transcript: Manya Brachear Pashman: Last month, the Senate earmarked $1 million in federal funding to create a curriculum for students about antisemitism and other forms of discrimination and bigotry. The recipient of that money? An organization that knows the consequences of that hatred all too well: the newly imagined Tree of Life, an education center dedicated to ending antisemitism that emerged after 11 worshipers inside Tree of Life synagogue were murdered by a white supremacist on October 27, 2018.  This week, we are presenting a compilation of our award-winning series Remembering Pittsburgh, which launched on October 5, 2023 -- right before the October 7th terrorist attacks in Israel.  Listen to the series at AJC.org/TreeofLife. __ Episode 1, which originally aired on October 5,  takes you inside the Tree of Life building before it was demolished to make way for a new complex dedicated to Jewish life and combating antisemitism.  Eric Lidji: Pittsburgh definitely is not forgetting. It's ever-present here. There are people who are healing and doing so in ways that, at least from the outside, are remarkable and very inspiring. And there are people who I'm sure have not fully reckoned with it yet. Carole Zawatsky: It's all too easy to walk away from what's ugly. And we have to remember. We can't walk away. Manya Brachear Pashman: Five years have gone by since the horrific Shabbat morning at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Synagogue, when eleven congregants were gunned down during prayer – volunteers, scholars, neighbors, doing what they always did: joining their Jewish community at shul.  Today, we take you to the Tree of Life building that stands on the corner of Shady and Wilkins Avenues in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood to hear from two people in charge of preserving the artifacts and memories of the vibrant Jewish life that unfolded inside those walls until October 27, 2018.  Manya Brachear Pashman: In early September, our producer Atara Lakritz and I visited the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood. Squirrel Hill, where Jews have settled since the 1920s, is quite literally Mister Rogers' neighborhood. We were there to interview those touched by the events of October 27. But it didn't take us long to figure out that everyone there had been affected in some way.  All along Murray Avenue, in 61C Cafe, at Pinsker's Judaica Shoppe, at the Giant Eagle supermarket, when we told people why we were there, they all had a story, an acquaintance, a connection.  Later, walking through the glass doors of the synagogue felt like we were stepping through a portal, traveling back five years, when life stopped, and the reality of the hatred and terror that unfolded there began to haunt every step.  Atara and I were invited to accompany a final group tour of the building before it closed in order for preparations to begin for the building's demolition. The tour was painful, but we felt it necessary to share with our listeners.  As we left the lobby, we were told to take the stairs to the left. The stairs to the right were off limits. Someone had been shot there.  We were led to a small, dark storage room where chairs had been stacked for guests. A handful of people had hidden there as the shooter continued his rampage, but one man walked out too soon, thinking it was safe. When first responders later came to get the others, they had to step over his body.  In the kitchen, there were still marks on the wall where the bullets ricocheted when he shot two women hiding underneath a metal cabinet. The calendar on the wall there was still turned to October 2018 with a list of activities that were happening that week posted alongside it.  And in the Pervin Chapel where seven people died, pews punctured with bullet holes and carpet squares stained with blood were no longer there. No ark either.  But remarkably, the stained glass windows remained with images and symbols of Jewish contributions to America, the land to which the ancestors of so many worshipers once inside that synagogue had fled to and found safety. Those windows will be carefully removed by the son of the man who first installed them 70 years ago. And they will return, when the reimagined Tree of Life rises again.   Carole Zawatsky: The tragedy is a Pittsburgh experience. But it's also every Jew's experience. It shattered for so many of us our sense of security in America. This is our safe haven. This is where we came to. Manya Brachear Pashman: Carole Zawatsky is the inaugural CEO of the reimagined Tree of Life. Since November 2022, she has overseen the development of a new complex on the hallowed ground: an education center dedicated to ending antisemitism, including a new home for the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh; a memorial to the lives lost that Shabbat morning; a dedicated synagogue space where the Tree of Life congregation can return. Carole Zawatsky: What can we build to enrich Jewish life, to remember this tragedy, and to show the world that we as Jews should not be known only by our killers and our haters, we should be known by our joy, our celebrations, our rituals, our resilience. __ Manya Brachear Pashman: Next, hear from the son and daughter in law of Joyce Fienberg, one of the 11 victims. In this second installment of our series, we sit down with Joyce's son, Howard Fienberg, and his wife, Marnie, as they share their journey of mourning and resilience. After her husband and mother died in 2016, Joyce Fienberg started each day at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, to recite Kaddish, the mourner's prayer. Even when she was no longer officially considered a mourner as Jewish tradition prescribes, 11 months, she continued to attend services each morning at the synagogue.  That's why Howard Feinberg knew his mother Joyce was at Tree of Life when he heard there had been a shooting there on the morning of October 27, 2018. It would be more than 12 hours before he learned she was among the 11 killed that day.  Howard and his wife Marnie are with us now from their home in Northern Virginia. Howard, you followed your mother's example and recited kaddish for 11 months. Can you tell us a little bit about that experience? That experience of saying Kaddish and mourning for your mother, and also can you share with our listeners why it felt like the mourning period was extended? Howard Fienberg: I felt a huge amount of support everywhere I went, in order to be able to say Kaddish every day. Which for someone who was not the most observant of Jews, it was a big lift to be able to do that every day. In fact, even when traveling in disparate places, that I could always find, somehow, be able to pull together 10 people to be able to say Kaddish was a big deal. And I wanted to make sure that no one would struggle in similar circumstances as well.  Obviously, initially, in Pittsburgh putting together 10 people was not a particularly big lift. Because the community support in that first week of Shiva was phenomenal. But it's not an easy thing in many congregations, and I think we are fortunate in mine that we always seem to pull it out every day. But I want to make sure that it happens. So in practice wise, that's one of the biggest things, my involvement with the synagogue, and prayer.  The broader extension of the mourning period, in a way, was a result of the constant delay of the trial for the monster that committed the massacre. And that was a result of both just the general usual procedural delays that you would expect, combined with COVID excuses that dragged things out during the trial. And once a new judge took over responsibility for this case, things suddenly snapped into gear and it moved forward. And we're particularly grateful for the judge in this case, just for his very no-nonsense approach moving forward. Manya Brachear Pashman: Can you talk about whether the guilty verdict once it did take place, and a verdict was delivered, how that verdict changed anything for you and your family? Howard Fienberg: It was a matter of relief, to a great extent. I sat through almost the entirety of the trial, heard and saw all of the evidence. A lot more than I expected to and ever wanted to, but I felt duty to do so. From an outside perspective, looking at it all, you would say this is a slam dunk case, lined up for all the federal hate crimes that were involved. And at the same time, I was in doubt until the jury came back and said, all said guilty. It's just the nature of things. I was on pins and needles. Massive relief afterwards and the same thing with the final verdict and sentencing. Massive relief for us and our families.  And that did allow…nothing's ever closed. You don't finish feeling the loss of somebody, especially when they're taken in, you know, horribly violent terrorist circumstances. But you move from segment to segment. So the same as we do in the year of mourning, you're moving from shiva, which is one kind of thing, to the 30 days, and then to the end of the mourning period. And this was moving to yet another period. And what exactly this is and how long it will be, I don't know. But we're figuring that out as we go. I certainly feel a lot more relaxed. Marnie Fienberg: Feels a little lighter. Howard Fienberg: Yes, definitely lighter. Manya Brachear Pashman: That's good to hear. That's good to hear. I am curious, you said you felt a duty to listen to those details, even though you didn't want to. Can you explain why you felt that sense of obligation? Howard Fienberg: Part of it is, somebody in our family needed to. And it wasn't something that I wanted everybody to sit and hear and see. And I specifically told friends and family as much as I could, to stay far away and said, as much as you want to know, I'll let you know. But otherwise, it's horrific. And it wasn't anything that I would wish for anybody to see and hear. But at the same time, it's the reality of how my mom died. And what the circumstances were, what was going on with the antisemitic conspiracy theories that drove the monster that killed her. And what did he have in mind, and what was his intention, what did he plan, what did he do? These were important things.  And the bigger picture, which I didn't even know going in, was the extent to which the police in Pittsburgh were so heroic. And while they were not able to save my mom, they saved other people, including friends of ours, and people who are now friends, who would not be alive if those cops had not tried to charge at the front door trying to charge the building and getting shot.  And then the SWAT teams going into the building, and in a couple cases getting almost murdered themselves, trying to rescue the people that were inside. And they did rescue some people. And those people would most likely be dead if the SWAT had not rushed in. Equipment wise, they were not ready ordinarily for this sort of situation. But they went in anyways because they knew they needed to, and they didn't hesitate. And that's the kind of thing that you can only understand, having gone to the trial and learned what went on.  ___ Manya Brachear Pashman: In the third installment, we look back at how horror drew people to solidarity. We interviewed Belle Yoeli, AJC chief advocacy officer, as well as others who showed up for Shabbat.  Belle Yoeli: We saw hundreds of thousands of people show up. And we saw pictures later, after the fact, and videos, and people making speeches, and just so much solidarity. This was captured on the news. I think it really stands out as one of the most amazing responses to antisemitism that we've seen in modern history. Manya Brachear Pashman: On October 27, 2018, Americans witnessed the deadliest antisemitic attack in this nation's history. The senseless slaughter inside a house of worship devastated and shocked American senses because it was simply unAmerican. But the aftermath of the atrocity became an American moment when so many people showed up – showed up with hugs, showed up with flowers, showed up with prayers for their Jewish neighbors.  The most visible expression of this came a week after the massacre with the unprecedented turnout of people of all faiths at synagogues across the nation as part of AJC's #ShowUpForShabbat campaign. Together, Americans sent a message that hate will not prevail. Belle Yoeli: Everyone wanted to do something, and the entire Jewish community mobilized to make this happen with the understanding that as AJC has always said that antisemitism is not just about the Jewish community. It starts with the Jewish community, but it's a threat to democracy, and the murder of Jews in their religious institution is such a breaking, a fracturing of everything that the United States stands for, everything that democratic society stands for. Manya Brachear Pashman: Today, Belle Yoeli is the chief advocacy officer for AJC. In 2018, she worked as the chief of staff for then AJC CEO David Harris. David had spent nearly 20 years counseling European leaders on the rise of antisemitism in their midst, calling their attention to violent crimes against Jews when conflict erupted between Israel and their Arab neighbors. Belle was on her way to a nephew's birthday party when she got the call on October 27 about what had happened in Pittsburgh. She remembers sobbing in the car on the phone with colleagues as they all grappled with the reality that whether they were regular shul-goers or had just happened to go to synagogue to celebrate a friend's bar mitzvah that day – it just as easily could've been them. For many, what they needed now was to go to shul and not be afraid, and to see others, not just their own community, but others of all faiths in the pews alongside them. What they needed most now was to know they were not alone. So they drew up a plan. Belle Yoeli: A couple members of our staff actually kind of simultaneously came up with a similar idea, which was that we need to, more than anything, rally non-Jews to come and support the Jewish community at this time, and what better time to do that than the following Shabbat. Manya Brachear Pashman: Dubbed #ShowUpForShabbat, the social media-based campaign called on both Jews and those of other faiths to flock to synagogues that coming Shabbat on the weekend of November 2 in support of the Pittsburgh Jewish community and all of American Jewry. The response across 80 countries was astounding. Manya Brachear Pashman: We connected with people who showed up that Shabbat five years ago, and ask them what the experience meant to them.  Anne Jolly: An important part of what we proclaim is love God, love your neighbor, change the world. And so we believe that means, we show up for each other. We can't love each other without being present with each other. So we have to be together. You have to show up. Manya Brachear Pashman: Episcopal Bishop of Ohio Anne Jolly was serving as the rector of St. Gregory Episcopal Church in Deerfield, Illinois in October 2018. A former hospital chaplain, she was sitting in her office when she heard the news break that Saturday morning. Her first call was to her friend and colleague Rabbi Karyn Kedar down the road at the Reform temple commonly known as Congregation BJBE. Rabbi Kedar had recently preached at St. Gregory and then-Pastor Jolly was scheduled to deliver the guest sermon at BJBE the following Friday night. Anne Jolly: I called her and we talked and we prayed. And I said to Karyn, I think probably you need to preach on the Shabbat following the shooting at your temple and she said, ‘I want you to do it.' She said ‘I think I think we need to hear your voice and that the congregation needs to hear you. Rabbi Kedar I think thought that to hear a voice of someone who is not Jewish saying aloud, We love you, we care for you. We believe we are all created in God's image together. And that means we need to show up for each other. It means we need to be present with each other, that to hear that from someone who was not part of their community might be more powerful, more impactful, and more important for the community here at that time. Manya Brachear Pashman: When Bishop Jolly arrived that following Friday she did not expect her sudden sense of fear when she encountered armed guards. Anne Jolly: I didn't realize I was afraid until I walked in the door. And I stopped and had to take a deep breath and realize that I was afraid because I was entering into a space of people who have long been afraid. And that I had never had to experience that before in that way. And I wasn't really afraid for my congregation the same way I was for my beloveds in the synagogue, that they had more of a reason to be afraid than I did. And that was all the more reason for me to be there, and to be present with them. Manya Brachear Pashman: Bishop Jolly credits that night at BJBE for the deep connection that formed with the congregation. In fact, she returned to BJBE many more times to celebrate Shabbat. Precisely a year later, the members of the Jewish congregation showed up at her door after a pumpkin patch at St. Gregory had been destroyed by vandals. Anne Jolly: There were a bunch of them that came to our patch and we were talking about it and they said, ‘We just wanted to show you that we are supporting you. And they were worried that that vandalism had been an act of aggression against us. And I just thought it was kids. And that was a really clear distinction of how our worldviews are different. For them, a vandalism thing would, of course, of course, be something hateful against them. In this case, it was children, it was just teenagers being dumb. But it reinforced that understanding that for them, fear is always in the background because of the violence perpetrated to them – again and again and again. ___ Manya Brachear Pashman: For this closing episode of the series, I sat down with AJC CEO Ted Deutch, who served as a congressman at the time of the Tree of Life massacre. We discussed this anniversary and its parallels to the October 7 attack on Israel, when once again Jews were murdered just for being Jewish. Ted, where were you on the morning of October 27, 2018 when you heard about the Tree of Life?    Ted Deutch: I was a congressman who represented Parkland, where the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas took place. And the morning of Tree of Life, I spoke to a group of high school students from all around South Florida, who participated in a program about how they can become leaders in the community. I spoke with them about what had happened a few months before in Parkland, and what I had seen from high school students in Parkland and how they responded and how you stand up to violence and try to stop it and how you respond to evil and how important it is to use the power that you have as young people. That was literally what I was doing right before I walked out of the Florida Atlantic University auditorium and saw my phone start to buzz with news of Tree of Life. Everything that I had said to the students in the discussion, that really difficult conversation we had with these students who shared with me their fears of violence, their fears of going to school–those fears hit home really hard for me and for the Jewish community.  Manya Brachear Pashman: So in our first episode of this series, our producer Atara Lakritz and I went on the last tour of the Tree of Life building. You also walked through the building back in June, before many of the artifacts had been removed. Would you mind reflecting on that experience? Ted Deutch: I couldn't help but think of my synagogue where I grew up on the other side of Pennsylvania in a lovely community, like Pittsburgh. I was struck that, forget that this was a synagogue, I really couldn't stop thinking that it was inconceivable that that kind of horrible tragedy could happen in a community like that.  And walking through the synagogue and seeing the site where hatred, and antisemitism, and manifestations, the worst manifestations of antisemitism were brought to this lovely place, in this wonderful synagogue. It was overwhelming to think about what was happening that Shabbat and the fear and terror that people felt as that was happening. That was number one. Secondly, I walked into the main auditorium where they were gathering all of the things that hadn't yet been taken away to be used in the museum and the memorial that's going to be constructed, that haven't been given back to families.  There were lots of things that are just not identified, they don't have families to return them to. And to see tallaisim and tefillin and all kinds of items that are used for Jewish rituals and Jewish customs just sitting on this table where they didn't know what they were going to do with them because the synagogue that existed there, the life that existed there, that simple, wonderful community, that was gone. It was gone.  That community will never be the same. And I think for our community, for the Jewish community, we're really never gonna be the same after what happened there. Manya Brachear Pashman: You were telling me before we started this conversation that they gave you something during your visit. Ted Deutch: As I walked through, and they saw how moved I was by this massive display. They came over and made such a kind gesture to me. And of all of the gifts that I've received in all of my travels, as a member of Congress, and now as CEO of AJC, I don't think there's anything that's as meaningful as the tefillin that they gave me. I don't know, obviously, I don't know whose it was. And it may well have been someone that was a synagogue member years and years ago. But the connection that I felt at that moment to that community at Tree of Life and the connection that I felt thinking about, not just Tree of Life, but tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people throughout our history.  And knowing that I was going to return to New York, I was going to have the opportunity to join the Jewish community around the world in overcoming these tragedies, and making sure the world understands why these kinds of attacks will never, they'll never work, they'll never, they'll never defeat the Jewish community. As we endure this really challenging time now in Israel, I've been thinking the same thing. We've gone through a lot in our history, and we've constantly, constantly overcome, and have grown and have learned and have continued to enrich the world. As Tree of Life rebuilds and will help shape a national and international conversation for years to come about fighting antisemitism. And as we continue to do our work and as Jews around the country and around the world go through whatever security measures they have to to go to synagogue and to drop their kids at day school and Hebrew school and for people to show up for programs at the JCC, there is a defiance that I felt at that moment that is perhaps the most important thing I took away from that day. Because it was awful. But I'm not going to dwell on how terrible it was. We're going to think about every way we can to honor the memories of the lives that were taken, and to strengthen the Jewish people in their memory as we go forward. Manya Brachear Pashman: We planned this series and invited you to speak before the October 7th terrorist attack in Israel and the war with Hamas that has unfolded since. At first we wondered whether we should even proceed with this series. How could we focus on anything other than Israel at this moment? Of course, the parallels between the Tree of Life and October 7th are all too stark– Jews are once again being targeted simply because they are Jewish. Can you share your thoughts on this difficult moment for the Jewish people? Ted Deutch: That sense of unease that all of us felt when we heard that story, like how could that possibly happen in the United States, really, it's an unease and fear that we feel when we've watched what's happened in Israel and when a horrific and brutal and barbaric attack takes place against our family, our brothers and sisters in Israel, we feel that here, and especially when it was, it was unthinkable what happened with this Hamas attack. Just as somebody shooting up a synagogue was unthinkable in America, it again, it puts us on edge, and it makes us redouble our efforts. Not just to fight antisemitism, but to really bring the community together. What I've really been proud of since this terrible time in Israel began is the way that AJC has responded, not just in putting out meaningful information to help people get the facts and get through this, and to fight back against lies. But the way that we've really worked to bring the community together.  There are 16 million Jews in the world, out of eight and a half billion people we need to stick together. Moments like Tree of Life remind us of that, and what's been happening in Israel absolutely reminds us of that. That informs so much of what AJC does, and has done in response to Tree of Life and certainly is doing in response to the current situation.

In this inspiring episode of the Aptitude Outdoors Podcast, we delve into the remarkable life and legacy of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, a pioneering environmentalist whose tireless efforts were instrumental in the conservation of the Florida Everglades and wildlife preservation in North America. Born in Minneapolis and moving to Florida in 1915, Douglas embarked on a multifaceted career as a journalist, author, and fervent environmental activist. Her landmark book, "The Everglades: River of Grass," published in 1947—the same year the Everglades were designated as a national park—played a pivotal role in shifting public perception of the Everglades from a "worthless swamp" to a crucial ecosystem deserving of protection. Douglas's activism extended beyond her writing; in the 1950s, she openly criticized harmful flood control measures by the Army Corps of Engineers, and in the late 1960s, she founded Friends of the Everglades to successfully oppose the construction of a jetport that threatened the ecosystem. Throughout her life, Douglas received numerous accolades for her conservation efforts, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton. She also championed civil rights and women's suffrage, using her platform to highlight the interconnectedness of environmental conservation, civil rights, and women's rights. This episode not only celebrates Marjory Stoneman Douglass's enduring impact on environmental conservation but also serves as a call to action. It encourages listeners to engage with local communities, support conservation initiatives, and educate themselves and others about the importance of preserving our planet's ecosystems. By honoring Douglas's legacy, we are reminded that passion and action can lead to significant environmental victories and inspire future generations to advocate for the protection of natural habitats worldwide.

Episode Transcript: Manya Brachear Pashman: This month, AJC set out to mark the five-year anniversary of the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting at the Tree of Life with a series of episodes exploring this turning point for the American Jewish community. Our first installment aired October 5. Two days later, the Jewish people faced another unprecedented deadly antisemitic attack, this time in Israel. Synagogues stepped up security and families tamped down their fears to take their children to Hebrew school or attend Shabbat services. In the second episode of our series, we sat down with Howard and Marnie Fienberg, who paid tribute to their mother Joyce. In the third installment, we looked back at how the horror drew people to solidarity.  For this closing episode of the series, I sat down with AJC CEO Ted Deutch, who served as a congressman at the time of the Tree of Life massacre. We discussed this anniversary and its parallels to the October 7 attack on Israel, when once again Jews were murdered just for being Jewish. Manya Brachear Pashman: Ted, where were you on the morning of October 27, 2018 when you heard about the Tree of Life?    Ted Deutch: I was a congressman who represented Parkland, where the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas took place. And the morning of Tree of Life, I spoke to a group of high school students from all around South Florida, who participated in a program about how they can become leaders in the community. I spoke with them about what had happened a few months before in Parkland, and what I had seen from high school students in Parkland and how they responded and how you stand up to violence and try to stop it and how you respond to evil and how important it is to use the power that you have as young people. That was literally what I was doing right before I walked out of the Florida Atlantic University auditorium and saw my phone start to buzz with news of Tree of Life. Everything that I had said to the students in the discussion, that really difficult conversation we had with these students who shared with me their fears of violence, their fears of going to school–those fears hit home really hard for me and for the Jewish community.  Manya Brachear Pashman: Did you view this as a significant turning point for the Jewish community in America or worldwide? Ted Deutch: This was something that we dealt with in Europe, we feared, we stood AJC's stood with the Jewish community across Europe as they, as they were attacked over years. I was a member of Congress when we had vigils with the ambassadors from European countries, in memory of lives lost, Jewish lives lost as a result of antisemitic attacks. And here, that morning is a turning point for all of us in the Jewish community, and how we respond, how we view the threat of antisemitism now as a deadly threat to the Jewish community in America, and for the rest of America to see another example of what happens when antisemitism, hatred are running rampant and where it can lead and how dangerous it is. Manya Brachear Pashman: From your vantage point as a congressman, what shifted on Capitol Hill, if anything, after October 27? Ted Deutch: Well, I was a member of Congress, but I focused so much of my work on the Jewish community. And we had started a Bipartisan Task Force to Combat Antisemitism in response to what happened in Europe. We never could have imagined something like that happening in our own country, especially in this place. I mean, this is the most idyllic, suburban, lovely neighborhood. I mean, it is, as everyone knows, it is literally Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, right? He lives just a stone's throw from Tree of Life. And so our work became that much more urgent. And we immediately refocused our efforts and those of us who were committed to fighting antisemitism, to ways that we could ensure the security of the Jewish community, and we immediately started looking at ways to find additional funding for security and and we dug deep into FBI reporting and research into what else is out there and what else they're tracking and what the fears are. And, unfortunately, whether in Congress, now at AJC, that hasn't stopped since. Manya Brachear Pashman: Did the members of Congress who are not Jewish respond differently? Ted Deutch: There was real support, and support not just for me and my fellow Jewish members, but for the Jewish community overall. Lots of members of Congress, most, know the Jewish community, many of them have Jewish communities they focus on in their own districts, sometimes large, sometimes very small. But the security concerns became real for every one of them – whether they had a large thousand-family congregation in a major city or a tiny synagogue somewhere in a remote part of the country, everyone felt it, everyone was put on edge, and every member of Congress felt an obligation to respond to that. I just remember having conversations with colleagues who were people of faith, who went to church. They were so struck by the fact that they came and went every Sunday, walked into their churches, doors were wide open. And the contrast to synagogues where you really need to be committed in so many places to get in so many places to go to synagogue, because you have to go through security, and sometimes you have to check in with the police, and in some places, you have to go through metal detectors. That really, really hit them and I think continues to, especially now. Every time something happens in Israel, we see a need for greater security at home. In the aftermath of the horrific attack by Hamas. It's affected Jews, obviously in Israel and around the world and how we view Israel, but we all fear for what could happen in the United States. Manya Brachear Pashman: You left your job on Capitol Hill and became CEO of AJC just last year. I'm curious whether the horror in Pittsburgh so soon after the Parkland shooting was an inflection point for you and your path? Ted Deutch: I wasn't thinking about leaving Congress. But when a friend reached out and asked if I'd be interested in being considered for the AJC job, I started reflecting upon the issues that I worked on, and what I had been through. And this fits into a very specific part of that thinking it was. It was the whole series of what happened, the shooting at Stoneman Douglas, and the impact that that had on the community. Then almost in immediate succession, quick succession, this horrific shooting at Tree of Life. First, there was the trauma in our own community, then there was the real trauma in the broader Jewish community. And then, not that they're directly related, but on January 6, when I was sitting in my office with the lights off, and my electronics silenced as the Capitol Police told us to do, and I was sitting in a dark cubicle in our staff office … watching what was happening in the Capitol and listening as people ran by my office and not knowing who they are. Everything was, everyone was so concerned about violence that day and my first thought that day was how grateful I was that I had just moved into this new office and had not yet had an opportunity to hang my mezuzah. And, right, so where does this fit in? I didn't decide to come to AJC because of some series of traumatic events. But just in terms of a turning point for me, what happened at Tree of Life and how that informed the remainder of my time and I was in Congress and the way I thought about my work, and, and then those fears on January 6, and realizing again, how at risk I felt even in the U.S. Capitol as a Jew. I suppose there is probably a straight line that I didn't see that started that day that led me to where I am now. Manya Brachear Pashman: So, you've been here a year now. How have these events shaped your work since you arrived? Ted Deutch: AJC's is to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people in Israel, and to advance democratic values. If we go back to Tree of Life, and think about what's transpired since and the rise in antisemitism as we saw it around the country, and on social media, and the many ways that the community has felt at risk.  The week I started, Kanye West went on his antisemitic rampage on social media on Twitter. The Jewish community is not well if antisemitism is running rampant. So it's why we worked so hard with the White House, it's why we encouraged them to create a national strategy. It's why we brought in special envoys from around the world to meet with the White House to help inform the process. It's why we celebrated the release of the National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism and put together, really devoted a large part of our resources over the past six months, helping to implement the national strategy. And it's why we continue across the country here to look for ways to engage further in fighting antisemitism. By strengthening the relationships we have with others–it's why we're doing so much more in our intergroup work and interreligious work.  I just recently visited a new Hindu temple in New Jersey, I think it's the largest, certainly the largest in the United States, one the largest in the world. And it was really meaningful to spend the afternoon with leaders of the Hindu community who, who very much recognize that in many ways our fates in America are intertwined.  Manya Brachear Pashman: So in our first episode of this series, our producer Atara Lakritz and I went on the last tour of the Tree of Life building. You also walked through the building back in June, before many of the artifacts had been removed. Would you mind reflecting on that experience? Ted Deutch: When I walked up to the synagogue, I couldn't help but think of my synagogue where I grew up on the other side of Pennsylvania in a lovely community, like Pittsburgh. I was struck that, forget that this was a synagogue, I really couldn't stop thinking that it was inconceivable that that kind of horrible tragedy could happen in a community like that.  And walking through the synagogue and seeing the site where hatred, and antisemitism, and manifestations, the worst manifestations of antisemitism were brought to this lovely place, in this wonderful synagogue.

Manya Brachear Pashman: We planned this series and invited you to speak before the October 7th terrorist attack in Israel and the war with Hamas that has unfolded since. At first we wondered whether we should even proceed with this series. How could we focus on anything other than Israel at this moment? Of course, the parallels between the Tree of Life and October 7th are all too stark– Jews are once again being targeted simply because they are Jewish. Can you share your thoughts on this difficult moment for the Jewish people? Ted Deutch: That sense of unease that all of us felt when we heard that story, like how could that possibly happen in the United States, really, it's an unease and fear that we feel when we've watched what's happened in Israel and when a horrific and brutal and barbaric attack takes place against our family, our brothers and sisters in Israel, we feel that here, and especially when it was, it was unthinkable what happened with this Hamas attack. Just as somebody shooting up a synagogue was unthinkable in America, it again, it puts us on edge, and it makes us redouble our efforts. Not just to fight antisemitism, but to really bring the community together. What I've really been proud of since this terrible time in Israel began is the way that AJC has responded, not just in putting out meaningful information to help people get the facts and get through this, and to fight back against lies. But the way that we've really worked to bring the community together.  There are 16 million Jews in the world, out of eight and a half billion people we need to stick together. Moments like Tree of Life remind us of that, and what's been happening in Israel absolutely reminds us of that. That informs so much of what AJC does, and has done in response to Tree of Life and certainly is doing in response to the current situation.

Por solicitud de las familias de víctimas y sobrevivientes de la masacre de la escuela Marjory Stoneman Douglas se están recreando los sucesos ocurridos durante ese fatídico día.En otras noticias: Por segundo día consecutivo el ex presidente Trump se declaró no culpable de nuevos cargos que le presentó el fiscal especial Jack Smith por el caso de los documentos clasificados. Donald Trump aseguró que todo se trataba de una interferencia electoral para las próximas elecciones.¿Cómo será la agenda electoral de Donald Trump mientras responde a sus líos legales?Una corte de apelaciones valido mantener vigente la nueva política de asilos del gobierno de Joe Biden.Caos en New York en el parque Union Square tras una convocatoria en la que un influencer prometió regalas consolas de video juegos. Apareció una nueva víctima de los asesinatos de Gilgo Beach por los que está siendo investigado Rex Huberman.

Need to grab hold of some peace in your day? Then join me in this episode recorded underneath the palm trees of South Florida to the backdrop of a thunderstorm! I describe the unique tropical landscape, walk you through an experience of using all five senses, and share about the life of naturalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas as well as some of the flora and fauna near the Everglades.

Many people mistake the landscape of Everglades National Park for a swamp, full of mosquitos and razor-sharp sawgrass. Technically it's a wetland, home to a stunning array of wildlife and beloved by visitors and conservationists alike. But that view of the Everglades as a treacherous and hostile place informed more than a century of efforts to tame and transform the landscape in ways that are still playing out today.In this episode of “Field Trip,” Washington Post reporter Lillian Cunningham tells the story of how the water flow through South Florida was radically altered to make the region more habitable for people. Then, how that unintentionally disrupted one of the country's most important ecosystems. And finally, why we're racing to unravel those mistakes today. We'll meet Jerry Lorenz, an Audubon Society scientist who's spent more than three decades trying to protect his beloved roseate spoonbills and other species of birds. We'll journey by fan boat across the marshes with Houston Cypress, a member of the Otter Clan in the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida and an advocate for Everglades restoration, and Durante Blais-Billie, an environmental and Indigenous rights advocate from the Seminole Tribe of Florida. We'll learn about the legacy of environmentalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas and how groups like the National Parks Conservation Association and the Captains for Clean Water are following in her footsteps today.And we'll hear from Eva Velez of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about what went wrong originally and what it now means to approach engineering “with nature.” We have incredible photos for this series. You can see them and find more on the National Parks here. “Field Trip” would not have been possible without the support of Washington Post subscribers.

This week for Women's History Month 2023 we talk about two very famous Florida women who were both writers.

Recent studies have shown that firearm suicidality rates are rising among Black youth. But why? And is this trend truly new? And, what can we all be doing to prevent this loss of life? Dr. Alfiee Breland Noble, founder of the AAKOMA Project which specializes in servicing the mental health needs of youth of color, and Aalayah Eastmond, Team ENOUGH founding member, and survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, join us to talk about the importance of prioritizing mental health in communities of color and how stigma and a lack of culturally competent resources can often make seeking help more difficult. We also break down the ways in which we all — no matter who we are — can better listen, and help, the young people in our lives.  Further reading:How Often Are Guns Involved in Accidental Deaths?

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas School Shooter sentencing On October 17 2022, a Florida judge sentenced the Parkland school shooter to life in prison without parole. It's been nearly five years since the shooting that killed 17 people and injured 17 others on Valentine's Day. The then, 19-year-old gunman had pleaded guilty leaving a Jury to decide whether he would face life in prison or the death penalty.   The Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooter was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, a judge ruled escaping the death penalty that was also on the table.  However, it is doubtful that this will be the end of the story. There is the possibility of appeals, and even if those are unsuccessful, just how long will the victims' families and survivors be stuck in a cycle of reliving the worst day of their lives before they can get some legal closure?

My name is Austin Adams. Thank you so much for listening today. I appreciate. From the bottom of my heart in the heart, the same heart that you are going to hear today, very broken and shattered surrounding some recent events that have happened in Texas. Today's going to be a little bit different than most episodes. Uh, we're going to focus just on this brief topic here. Um, it's, you know, something, I just felt the need to kind of just jump on here and talk with you guys about, talk about some of the current events that are coming out of this. Who's speaking. What they're saying? Uh, all of it. So make sure you stick around for the full thing again, I appreciate it so much. Um, don't want to step on this situation too much. So as always go ahead and subscribe hit that five-star review button. Uh, that's all I got for now, but I would like to jump into this. So if you don't know, you haven't heard yet, it happened. Uh, I guess it was yesterday, today, really? Um, Tuesday, May 24th. There was a. In Texas, uh, by an 18 year old individual whose name I will not use, I refuse to use. And it ended up, uh, I guess at this point there's been 18 children who have died as a result and one teacher, we don't have all of the details so far. Uh, but we'll go ahead and let's watch this opening clip that discusses what actually happened, who was involved. Uh, and, and the little bit of information that we know at this point. So here we. All right. There's our intro. A little bit more information about this. They say 14. It has now been confirmed at 18, at least from a little bit more updated sources. Uh, I believe that the teacher also has died at this point, as well as potentially one police officer. I believe I heard that somewhere, but not confirmed on my end. Uh, but we do know that at least 18 children have lost their lives to this terrible, terrible tragedy. And one that, as they've explained has been, you know, a topic of discussion quite frequently over the last decade or so. And it's quite terrifying. Um, I have children and as they mentioned, this was second to fifth grade or six, second to fourth grade, I believe, which they said was six year olds. That's not the case generally in second grade. Second grade is usually going to be seven or eight year olds, but the factor means. This is terrifying. This is horrible. This is terrifying. Um, this is a sickening thing for any individual to do, as we saw in multiple cases that Jay just presented there. Um, the individual who did so also did not only just do it to the children, they did it to, uh, to their own family prior to going out there now, from what they had mentioned there, the individual had a handgun. Potentially had a rifle from some of the other conversations that we've seen. And according to the Sheriff's clip, which we will see next also had some form of a vest that he had on to protect himself from the ensuing chaos. He knew he was getting himself into. So as I was saying, this is horrible. This is terrible. I think that we saw it there. You know, the immediate cries that you'll see in a lot of these situations is to immediately jump to like policy decisions. And, and I think. That's not always the right decision. I think that sometimes terrible things happen and we have to maybe let the parents let the school grieve a little bit before we start to look at what these politicians can do to pass legislations that may or may not prevent this thing in the future. Uh, but let's go ahead and watch that sheriff clip. Let's see what he has to say about it. It's a, it's a brief one. Um, so let's, let's go ahead and watch. Again, briefly, as of now, we're still working on this active investigation. Uh, once we're able to provide information to the families, we will do so first and foremost, obviously our Prairie's is to get information to our families. Um, and, and give them some information. So please bear with us in regards to that. Secondly, once we do get some information that we can release to the public, we will be doing that. So please know, once we do get some information, we will share that with you and call another press conference. Um, let me assure you, the intruder is deceased and we are not actively looking for another individual or any other suspects in this case. Uh, we definitely ask you all to keep the family, the families that are involved in your prayers. It's so much here to provide a statement. I not take any questions is our superintendent, Dr. Howell heroine. Good evening. This was a tragic slips of bent today. And my, my heart was broke today. Our hearts and thoughts and prayers are with all our families as we go through the, this day and days to come a few announcements that we'd need to make. Beginning tomorrow at 10:00 AM. We will have grief counseling and support at the civic center for our students, our staff, community members, anybody that needs to come at that time. And we may be there more than one day. Maybe there's several days. Our Rob staff will meet at 8:00 AM at, uh, at the civic center as well will begin with visiting with them. And, uh, seeing what those needs are, school will be closed. We, the school. Uh, we will have no school tomorrow or Thursday. All activities are canceled throughout the district. I know graduation is on people's mind. We will come out with a notice on that at a later time, all the staff members do, they will report to their campuses, uh, other than Rob campus, which will come to the, uh, the civic center. Again, my heart was broken today. We're a small committee. And we'll we'll need your prayers to get us through this. Thank you again, this is a tragic event in our community. We are very sorry that we cannot provide you more information, but greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during this very difficult time, we ask that you pray for all of the families affected. Thank you. Okay. So there's the direct Sheriff's, uh, statement on that. Also the superintendent of the school spoke on it. One thing that I'm happy to hear is that this sick, disgusting human garbage is dead. Although I don't think that. You know, full justice in this situation. I mean, what type of coward, what type of coward do you have to be to not only shoot your own grandmother, but then to go find a bunch of defenseless children to take out your, whatever is going on in your head. Like, jeez, what, what in the world? Like w what, what do you have to be going through to even consider this type of. I mean, what type of sickness do you have to have in your head? In, in there's some clips out there that I was watching. I don't know if I have them on here. I don't believe I do, but there was a part of Tucker Carlson's, uh, clips, which I have a brief portion of that we're not going to watch the full thing of, but it also goes into an interview with his classmates who his classmate was seeing is where he was kind of a, a funny character. But, um, he was. Basically just saying that, you know, this guy didn't raise any flags to him. He was in class with them two years ago in gym and he wasn't sketchy quote unquote, and you just never know. Right. You never know what somebody is going through. You never know what somebody is capable of. And I think that's, you know, a better case for being able to defend yourself in these types of situations. Not saying that there's anything that really anybody could have done here to prevent this. But I think, you know what we're going to see when we watch these clips that are coming up is the immediate, you know, immediate, emotional, not even emotional, I guess, emotionless reactions by our leadership in this country and trying to use this platform to ask for policy changes that they've tried to push over and over and over again about gun control and. You know, speaking of what type of cower does it take to, to do these things? What type of coward does it take to try to take advantage of these situations? Right? Like if, if you're the, the president of the United States and this happens in your country, if you're that superintendent, gosh, I don't know how he even stands up there and completes a full sentence. I, you know, see you the principal of my daughter's school. Every day when I walk in and I couldn't imagine in, in he sees the faces of our children every day. Now the superintendent is a little bit more removed from that, but gosh, what a horrible situation in general and, and how terrible, uh, it must feel to be anybody involved in this school, anybody and any student who saw it, heard it, uh, a teacher or a parent who, who. You know, actively part of this, um, situation, you know, that that even has to have an ex a conversation with her. Tonight's who were close to this and, and heard these sounds. And I got an email from my child's teacher who came out and said that, you know, this is a horrific situation. And she's so sad to hear these things. And, you know, in, in some way, shape or form, we need to have a conversation with our kids. Now, I don't know how I feel about that. You know, I don't know if we need to, what is that going to do? If you have a child who is in this grade, in this. You know, a 7, 8, 9 year old them being afraid of the world and afraid of going to school in this, in this type of scenario, how many schools are out there where this doesn't ever happen? In what percentage likelihood is it to happen in, in what mass horrific reality or, or what a massive like horrific, uh, conversation. If every parent had this conversation with her. At that age, I just don't think it's very appropriate. But, um, yeah, this is, this is tough, man. This is, this is so sad. And to know that there's so many parents out there tonight who just won't be talking in their, uh, you know, their child, their baby, who they raised and who they love. And that's so sad. And so. Uh, let's, let's go ahead and see here. This is, there's some deeper seated problems that we'll see in, you know, and there, there was a, the saying goes, never let a great tragedy go without, you know, what is it taking advantage of a great tragedy. There's some quote around politics and I can't exactly pull it right now in the, in the frame of mind after hearing about this, you know, an hour or two ago, but a. You know, taking advantage of these tragedies is exactly what we see our poor leadership do in this situation. And it's horrible. There's no reason for it. You know, the, the, let the parents grieve, stop trying to push policies in the, in the midst of tragedy for the sake of, you know, it's like if you were a life insurance agent and you know, which, you know, we'll get to that in a second, but if you were a life insurance agent, let's take that. And these kids died and all of a sudden you're running advertisements towards parents saying, Hey, get life insurance on your child. Do they, they're going to die. Just like these children did potentially, right. We need to prevent you from being in hardship if this happens or whatever it is that you can insert there. It's gross. It's disgusting. Any business that would take advantage of this to try and push their. Profits, which is exactly what their political profits are that they're trying to push our leadership here is trying to push it political profit. They're trying to profit off of this in some way, shape or form, right? In, in, in this case, it's in this way, shape or form of control, right? And they want to use lists platform. They want to immediately jump to the idea. We should be banning guns and we should be banning, uh, assault rifles, and, you know, whatever it is. Um, we're going to see that here. And, and, and to me, it's just gross. Any industry that would utilize this platform to try to profit in any way, shape or form, whether it's attention, whether it's, uh, direct profits, like the life insurance example. Whether it's, uh, political profits, whether it's attention profits, you know, there's so many different ways to profit. And in this situation, our political leadership is trying to profit off of this situation by immediately jumping to specific policy changes in, in, in calling for them. So we'll see that here. Let's go ahead and watch Camila Harris, give her speech, then we'll jump to the Biden speech. Then we'll jump to. Uh, Tucker Carlson had to say, which he basically called them out prior to them, even having these conversations, knowing they were going to utilize this platform for their political profit. Uh, so here is Kamala Harris. We need to go now to Washington. We understand vice-president Harris plans to address the shooting, the tragedy, and you volley at Robb elementary school. Let's go ahead and listen to what she has. Please sit everyone. Thank you. Thank you. What a, what an incredible room. And, um, Judy Chu, thank you for that introduction and for your leadership on so many levels. Um, tonight's a rough night. Um, we planned for a great celebration, but I'm sure most of you have heard the tragic news. Um, About what has happened in Texas. So I had prepared comments about tonight, which I will speak, but I just first want to begin by saying a few words about the tragedy that occurred today, um, in you valley, Texas. Um, as many of, you know, the reports are that, uh, it was a mass shooting at an elementary school. And, um, the preliminary reports are that 14 children have been killed. Um, and the details are still coming in. And of course the president and I are monitoring the situation closely. So while we don't know all the details yet, uh, we do know that there are parents who have lost children, um, families that have lost children and their loved ones, of course, and many others who may have been injured. So I would normally say in a moment like this, we would all say naturally that our hearts break, but our hearts keep getting broken. You know, I think so many, there's so many elected leaders in this room. You know what I'm talking about? Every time a tragedy like this happens, our hearts break and our broken hearts are nothing compared to the broken hearts of those fans. And yet it keeps happening. So I think we all know and have said many times with each other enough is enough. Enough is enough as a nation. We have to have the courage to take  action and understand the next. Between what makes for reasonable and sensible public policy to ensure something like this never happens again. So the president will speak more about this later. Um, but for now I will just say to the people of you've already, um, please know that this is a room full of leaders who grieve with you. And we are praying for you and we stand with you and it is difficult at a time like this to think about much else. But I do look around this room and I know who is here. And I know this is a room full of American leaders who know and have the courage to take a stand. And so let us tonight, as we do every time we all get together. Recommit ourselves to having the courage to take action. And so that does bring me to the leaders who are in this room and the leaders of apex. And again, I want to thank chairwoman Judy Chu for that kind introduction as a former member of K pack, um, I had the opportunity to see her leadership firsthand, and she is truly a national leader who leads. The people of our country. And of course, I'm honored tonight to be with Congresswoman, Maryland, Strickland, apex board chair, Susan, Jen Davis, and all of the federal state and local elected officials who are here. Okay. That's enough. So you get the idea, the percentage of time that she talked about the grieving of these parents and what actually happened in this situation was so much. Compared to the timeframe that she spoke about. Here's what we need to do is enact policy changes. And, you know, we all have the power. No, you don't. You do not have the power to stop this. No laws that you pass would stop this. There was a guy, fuck how long ago, months, a year, whatever it was, who ran over an entire group of people with a car, are you going to ban cars? It makes no sense. You go to the UK where there's the access to guns is way low. There's just higher stabbing rates. These things happen. They have happened. They're going to continue to happen, regardless of whatever policies that you enact, regardless of whatever ego comes into your way. And even to then into this ego is probably even being. Because I don't think it's ego for her to sit there and think that we need to enact these massive bands. Right. And she did not really say it, but we're going to watch the Joe Biden clip and he comes out and says it it's, it's crazy to me that these people who are in these positions of power cannot even. Can not even stand in front of a group of people and knowing there's 13, eight, well, 18 parents out there today who are wanting to listen to a voice of reason in a position of power and, and hear something at least just grieve with them. Don't stand on their backs and, and. Pallets ticks, push political agendas that, you know, you've been pushing for a while now. And, and, and know what law that you're going to pass is going to stop this. Look at Chicago, look at LA, look at wherever the largest percentage of murders are, are where there's the most strict gun laws in the country. And you know, this. Kamala Harris, you know, this Joe Biden, you know that the only thing that you are going after while you're standing on the backs of these parents who are grieving over their children, is the political agenda on your mind for control to control the people, to take away any, any potential response they would ever have to totalitarianism. And, and you step on their backs and in the worst moment you could ever possibly imagine and use their backs as a stepping stool to push your political agenda. You sick, gross people. How disgusting is that? Give it, give it a fucking day. At least maybe come out and say, I cannot imagine, like, alright, here's my thing. Here's here off the cuff. Here's what I would say to these parents. I can not imagine being in your position. I can not imagine that the hardship and heartache that you must be going through today. And I hope that you never, that I never do have to be able to feel the difficulties that you're going through right now. And there's nothing that I can say. And there's nothing that I can do to take that away from you. But I want you to know that there is a country. Of hundreds of millions of people who feel your grief with you today. And there are share the unbelievable heartbreak that you have. And many children who will go to sleep tonight without their friends tomorrow and brothers and sisters who will wake up without, without their siblings. And we are so horrific. Sad right alongside of you. And there's nothing we can do. There's nothing we can say to make you feel better, but I want you to know that we're here for you, that we will do whatever we can to be there for you. And that over the next few weeks, we will be reaching out individually to speak with every one of you to let you know that. Politicians that your president and your vice president cared deeply deeply about you, about your family and about your children. That's what leadership says not. Hey, did you guys hear about Texas? Yeah. Well, there's some, there's this many children who. Here's how here's what I can do to prevent this in the future. And you all decided that you didn't want to pass these laws are the reason this happened. No, that's disgusting. That's gross. Shut your mouth grieve with these parents. Or just shut up and let it, like, they don't need to hear you pushing political agendas right now. You definitely don't need to be like wagging your little gross finger Camila at the individuals who, who didn't pass your massive gun bans because of anything there's pre more preventions of mass shootings as a result of access to web. Then there is these one-off little situations that we're seeing here that are, are again horrific, and you can't speak to the magnitude of agony that these parents must be going through. But the last thing you should be doing is pushing your political agenda for 60% of the conversation. While 10% of it goes out to our hearts with. But we need to do this. You guys are wrong for not passing this and I am right, because I could have prevented this if you did what I said. And so let's hear what Biden has to say, and it's quite similar, but I haven't heard the whole thing. So we'll listen together. Good evening fellow Americans. I'd hoped when I became president, I would not have to do this again. Another massacre you valley, Texas, and elementary school. Beautiful. Innocent. Third fourth graders. And how many scores of little children witnessed what happened? See their friends die as if they're on a battlefield for God's sake. I don't know whether the rest of their lives there's a lot. We don't know yet. There's a lot. We do know. The parents who will never see their child again, never have them jump in bed and cuddle with them. Parents will never be the same to lose a child. It was like having a piece of your soul ripped. there a hollowness in your chest, you feel like you're being sucked into it, never going to be able to get out suffocating. It's never quite the same as the feeling shared by the siblings and the grandparents and the family members and the community. The thought behind scripture says. Joe. And I've talked about this in different contexts and other context, Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. So many crushed spirits. So tonight I asked the nation to pray for them, give the parents and siblings. And the darkness I feel right now as a nation, we have to ask, when in God's name, are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? When in God's name? We do it. We all know in our gut needs to be done. This is the 343,448 days, 10 years since I stood up at a high school. And Connecticut grade school and Connecticut or another government, Matt massacred, 26 people, including 21st graders at Sandy hook elementary school since then have been over 900 incidents gunfires reported on school grounds, Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida, Santa Fe high school in Texas Oxford high school. Let's goes on and on and on this grows wanting to include mass shootings at places like movie theaters, houses of worship. As we saw just 10 days ago to grocery store in Buffalo, New York, I am sick and tired of it. We have to act and don't tell me we can't have an impact on this card. I spent my career as a Senator and the vice-president working to pass common sense gun laws. We can we'll prevent every tragedy, but we know they work and have positive impact. When we pass the assault weapons ban mass shootings went down when the law expired mass shootings tripled the idea that an 18 year old. Can walk into a gun store and buy two assault weapons. It's just wrong. What in God's name? Do you need to solve it for except to kill someone there? Aren't running through the forest with Kevlar vests on for God's sake, it's just sick. And the gun manufacturers has spent two decades aggressively marketing assault weapons, which make them the most and largest profit. Wow. There's a lot to unpack there. The first of which being schools are a gun-free zone, Joe, it's illegal to have a weapon on school grounds. It's literally one of the only mass protected areas that you can go to that as illegal to carry a weapon on. Didn't stop him dead. It's it's crazy. And then he goes on to say, dear, aren't walking around with Kevlar vests. What a gross usage of, oh, how disgusting is that your statement? There's 18 parents out there right now who are grieving the loss of their children. Uh, in deeper agony than you were ever in with Bo who ended, whose children's lives were ended in such horrific fashions. And you're talking about deer walking through a forest and a Kevlar vast how disgusting, how gross. Right. And everybody wants to get in this conversation like, oh, everybody was saying with abortion, how, oh, if you ban abortion, people are just going to do it illegally. Might as well, make it healthy and safe. Where's that conversation. When it comes to guns, you're going to ban assault weapons. You're going to ban assault rifles. People are just going to do it illegally. Right? The people who are going to do these types of things are absolutely going to find. It's a sickness. It's a sickness in your head to even have the capacity to do these things, to even fathom shooting your grandma and then going on, and then fucking driving to an elementary school and shooting 18 children. That is not a gun problem. That is a mental health problem. That is a sickness in your brain that, that most people cannot even fathom the, the, the, ah, the, the, how horrible of a person you must be to potentially even do that. There's, there's something missing in your head. There's a switch that, that wa that was flipped that no other person can fathom going through. And whether it's a gun, it's a knife, it's a truck like we saw months ago, or. They're going to find a way. And so let's address the root cause. It's not the guns, it's not the gun lie being manufacturers in this case, it's the sickness. It's the, it's the, the, the switch in your head that allows you to do such horrific things and what we'll see statistically, and almost like, I think it's 80% or larger. It may even be higher than. Are on some type of SSRI, some type of antidepressive medication, something that's messing with your nervous system, that there there's a humanistic aspect that does not allow you to do these horrific things and to completely eliminate the conversation of, of that being gone in these individuals. And, and, and, and to diminish that conversation down to a. Gun issue or a, a specific type of gun nonetheless, or the fact that you there's no deer in Kevlar vests walking across the forest. You, you fucking idiot. How disgusting, how gross for you to use this as your platform to push gun reform restrictions. Right, because we all know what that leads to go to go to Brazil, go to, and I don't know if there's gun bands in Brazil, but I'm assuming that's probably crazier than go to go to any of these countries and find, find me the statistics that back up, the fact that if you mass, uh, take away, you know, you know, who did that? You know, who do you know who took away guns? First was eight off. Was stolen was Landon. All of these people didn't allow their people to have that because that's the only form of control and no nobody's using, uh, it has an AR 15 for the purpose of going and shooting a deer. You're so stupid that you don't even know how hunting works. Nobody's shooting a deer with an AR 15, should it be that removed and not even that removed, he knows what he's doing. He's not playing on the individuals that actually know. How guns work or how hunting works, even he's playing on the emotional strings of individuals who are uninformed surrounding this topic. No, nobody buys an AR 15 to shoot a deer. People buy an air 15 to protect their household Pritchard's to protect their family. And in many cases to protect their family from the opportunity of being taken over by a totalitarian government, it's the same reason. All of your soldiers carry an ARP. Or an M 16, the same reason it's to protect yourself. And then to say that an 18 year old shouldn't be able to walk into a gun shop and buy a gun you're recruiting the same 18 year olds to go fight your wars. And probably Ukraine coming up soon as we saw him say in the conversation that he had on the border in Poland. So you're going to allow them to carry it because they fight your wars hunter. Because you get to profit off of the backs of their blood. They're not going to take their M sixteens into a forest to shoot a deer in the Kevlar vests you dumb ass. It's not when they are 15 is four and 15 is a war. Gun is a self protection, personal protective. And literally it's a pistol with a, buttstock a longer barrel and an extended magazine. In some cases in the same type of magazine you can get for any gun right now, I can go get my Glock and get a 30 round magazine for my Glock, just like what's in my era, 15, doesn't change a thing, but you're just trying to play on the emotional strings of families who are grieving to push your political agenda. Let's watch a little bit more of this. If I can stand it. I am sick and tired of it. We have to act and don't tell me we can't have an impact on this corner. I spent my career as a Dawn for God's sake, it's just sick. And the gun manufacturers has spent two decades aggressively marketing assault weapons, which make them the most and largest profit for God's sake. We have to have the courage to stand up to the industry. Here's what else? I know. Most Americans support, common sense laws, common sense gun. I just got off a trip from Asia meeting with Asian leaders. And I learned this while I was on the aircraft. And what struck me on that 17 hour flight. What struck me was these kinds of mass shootings rarely happened anywhere else in the world. Y they have mental health problems. They have domestic disputes in other countries. They have people who are lost, but these kinds of mass shootings never happened. The kind of frequency they happened in America. Why, why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why don't we keep letting this happen? Where in God's name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with and stand up to the lobbies. Turn. This thing is action for every parent, for every citizen of this country, we have to make it clear to every elected official in this country. It's time to act it's time for those who obstruct or delay. Or blocked the common sense gun laws. We need to let you know that we will not forget. We can do so much more. We have to do more our prayer tonight. Those parents lying in bed and trying to figure out will I be able to sleep again? What do I say to my other children? What happens to the more and God bless the loss of innocent life on this sad day. May the Lord be near the broken heart and saved those crushed in spirit because they're going to need a lot of help. A lot of our pre. Okay. First of all, I don't know how many times I've heard Joe Biden mentioned God or the Bible references. Um, interesting that that comes up now, but I won't critique it. It makes sense. However, what I will critique is the fact that two minutes and 47 or two minutes and 40 seconds of this clip was devoted to speaking to the. Was devoted to talking about grief was devoted to mentioning the topic, even that was a seven minute clip. The other five minutes of Joe Biden's speech was dedicated completely the policy reforms that he's been pushing for years surrounding gun control. How does, how gross I'll say that over and over again. It's just, it's sickening to me that this is the conversation that we're having. And it's obviously easily called out by others because here is Tucker Carlos and mentioning the fact that this is exactly what they were going to do prior to the, either of these speeches coming out. He knew this, and here's a clip of Tucker Carlson discussing it. Oh. That if the president uses the deaths of children to try to make himself more powerful, he really is a lonesome man unworthy of leading this country. He may rise above it and try to unite this country. In which case he will get praise from us and from every American, some are not doing that. However, some have gone lower than you even imagined a Congressman called Rubin. Galago just tweeted this quote, just to be clear, F you Ted Cruz, you effing baby killer. Can you imagine, what do we think of Ted Cruz? He did not shoot anybody. It's a horrible thing. Nancy Pelosi, recent statements re released a statement saying this quote. It is time for all in Congress to heed the will of the American people, enjoying it and enacting the house passed bi-partisan common sense, lifesaving legislation into law. Of course they jump at any opportunity, including the deaths of children to make partisan points. And then a character called Juliet Kam. A former Obama administration official DHS said the shooting is proof. We need to get rid of immigration laws. She said that I'm seeing this a few hours. From an investigation standpoint, I'm going to do what the facts tell me now. So I've got demographics, first of all, an 80% Hispanic school district. So the most important thing for the federal government to do right now is to say there will be no immigration enforcement during this period in that. Uh, area. It is, it has a large immigration population. You want parents with their kids. You don't want people hiding right now. And we need to make that clear ASAP because of the political issues in Texas. So a normal person, decent person stands in reverence and awe and deep sadness before a tragedy like this, a filthy person jumps in to figure out how can this make me more powerful? Jeanine Pirro is the co-host of the five. She joins us tonight. Judge. Thanks so much for coming on. Um, you really do learn about people in the immediate aftermath of something like. Don't ya? Well, you know, what you just saw is really the epitome of the politicization of a tragedy. Some people are so ideologically rigid that they will use anything, anything to bootstrap their political ideology in this case, you know, to basically open the borders. And that is a sad, disgusting commentary when the thing that, okay, that's enough of that. But you get the. How dare you. How dare you. Like I said, stand on the backs of these grieving parents and devote 80% of your speech on this topic to policy political agenda reform, including immigration. What a, what clown world do you live in? Where that's an appropriate conversations surrounding what just happened now? I'm not even going to get into it. This. Some of the deeper, you know, rabbit holes that you can when these situations arise. But if you're in that zone, you know what I'm talking about? Um, you know, it, I'm sure these, these things obviously happen. And this obviously is a horrific. I don't know, I won't even get into it, but in this case, it's, it's so sad. It's so horrible. And, and to see our politicians are not even our politicians, our president and our vice president, just rubbing, rubbing the nation's nose in, in, in specifically calling out Ted Cruz, calling him a baby murderer for what not pushing your totalitarian gun laws. You know, the, the, the, the fundamental. Constitutional rights that we were given. It's all gross. It's all disgusting. And it, this whole thing makes me sad. It makes me sad to see our leadership's response to it. It makes me, like I said, it's just disgusted by the, by the approach that they took on this two and two minutes and 40 seconds, he devoted to the conversation surrounding what happened and the, his grieving for the parents. And then the other five minutes were devoted. Dear wearing Kevlar vests in a forest. I don't know. I don't have much more to say about this at this point. I just wanted to get that out there with you guys. It's a sad day. Um, it's a horrific day and my heart goes out to any of the parents who are dealing with this tragedy, any of the parents and children who are a part of that school district, uh, there's a lot of difficult conversations and difficult times. And, uh, yeah, it's horrible. So that's all I got for today, guys. Uh, I hope you and your family are safe. Um, please, uh, subscribe, leave a five-star review if you enjoyed this podcast while I guess enjoyed is probably the wrong word to use in this situation, but, uh, you know, if you kind of, um, like. Conversations surrounding the actual topics, as opposed to pushing political agendas. Maybe that's worth it for you guys. But, um, other than that, that's all I got for you guys. I hope you have a wonderful day. If you are still sticking around at this point, you can go to our new website, red pill, revolution.com. That comes for losers. If you recall some of the original episodes, red pill, revolution dot C O M, and you can actually go on there and run a free life insurance quote for yourself. Um, that's how I support the show is how I support this podcast. Head over there right now, red pill, revolution.co. Um, and you can get a free life insurance quote for you and your family. Uh, again, I think it's gross to use any type of topics like this to push any type of thing like this. So not even going to mention any of it, uh, but if you need a quote for your family, you're looking for a hundred percent online quotes. You don't have to talk to people most of the time, you'll get a bunch of calls from a bunch of different agents. Um, and I save you that hassle it's all on. You can go there right now and run a free quote for myself. It was $63 for a $2 million term life policy. Um, what I usually recommend is a 15 year life, a term-life policy at 15 times, your annual income for your household. So, um, that's all I got. Thank you guys so much for listening. I appreciate you so much and    welcome to the revolution.

12 de mayo | Nueva YorkArreglado, pues. Bienvenido a La Wikly.Leer esta newsletter te llevará 6 minutos y 30 segundos.🎞 Abre la CroisettePor Emilio DoménechLo importante: el Festival de Cannes tiene previsto abrir sus puertas la semana que viene en un año en el que la industria del cine sigue sufriendo transformaciones trascendentales.Una cosa está clara: el nivel de la competición recuerda a los mejores días de la Croisette.Contexto: con la pandemia, la industria del cine sufrió un varapalo tremendo. Cannes tuvo que suspender su cita anual y miles de cines a lo largo del globo vieron peligrar la ventana de distribución que durante décadas ha definido el statu quo.Ese statu quo previo a la proliferación del streaming refiere a que una película no aparece en alquiler o en streaming hasta tres meses después de su estreno en salas.Explícamelo: Cannes vuelve con la misión de demostrar que el gran cine de autor sigue generando expectación y ovaciones, y que la llegada de estrellas a la alfombra roja de la Croisette mantiene su glamour.Solo bajo esa premisa puede subsistir el otro aparato de la industria que se desarrolla durante el Festival de Cannes: el Marché du Film [en español, el Mercado de Cine de Cannes].Imagínatelo como una feria de películas en la que exhibidores y distribuidores de todo el mundo pueden comprar películas independientes para llevar a sus países de origen —o a todo el mundo, si es que tienen mucho dinero.No es el mejor año para el Marché. Este año, dos películas de presupuesto alto que se vendieron en Cannes en años previos se han estrellado en taquilla. Ninguna rodó un solo fotograma antes de la cita en la que lograron atraer a compradores:The 355, la película de espías que Jessica Chastain se desvivió por sacar adelante con un elenco en el que también estaban Diane Kruger, Marion Cotillard y Penélope Cruz. Recaudó poco más de 27 millones de dólares en todo el mundo pese a tener un presupuesto superior a los 40.Moonfall, la nueva superproducción de desastres dirigida por Roland Emmerich (El día de mañana). Recaudó unos 44 millones de dólares pese a que se estima que costó más de 140.Medios como The Hollywood Reporter creen que ese historial peliagudo redirigirá el foco a películas menos ambiciosas a nivel presupuestario.El éxito taquillero de títulos aclamados (y baratos) como Drive My Car y La peor persona del mundo determinarán la estrategia de muchos compradores.¿Y ahora? La atención estará puesta en lo que hagan los compradores estadounidenses. Algunos sellos tienen más experiencia que otros en comprar buenas películas —o en catapultarlas después a la temporada de premios.Eso último no siempre es una labor fácil con títulos que se estrenan en Cannes porque hay mucho tiempo entre Cannes y los meses del otoño en la que se vende el pescado —aunque siempre hay excepciones como Drive My Car.Este año, la atención principal estará puesta en los autores anglosajones como James Gray (Armageddon Time), David Cronenberg (Crimes of the Future), Kelly Reichardt (Showing Up), George Miller (Three Thousand Years of Longing) o Baz Luhrmann (Elvis).También cabrá estar pendientes de lo que pueden dar de sí ganadores de la Palma de Oro como Hirokazu Kore-eda (Japan) y Ruben Östlund (Triangle of Sadness), o aspirantes a todo como Park Chan-Wook (Decision to Leave).Pero ojito con las posibles joyas de las que ya se habla entre bastidores, incluidas varias mujeres que debutan en largometraje como Charlotte Wells (Aftersun), Riley Keough y Gina Gammell (War Pony), o Lola Quivoron (Rodeo).Y también pendientes de documentales como Moonage Daydream de Brett Morgen (Cobain: Montage of Heck), sobre David Bowie, y The Natural History of Destruction del ucraniano Sergei Loznitsa, sobre los bombardeos aliados en Alemania durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.Como curiosidad número uno: Keough es la nieta de Elvis Presley, músico cuyo biopic se estrena en Cannes de la mano de Luhrmann.Y como curiosidad número dos: TikTok patrocina el Festival de Cannes este año y organizan un concurso de cortometrajes cuyo jurado lo encabezará el cineasta camboyano Rithy Panh.He sido un estudioso del cine de Panh y esto de TikTok me parece una cosa fascinante. Explora su filmografía y me entenderás.Más información en IndieWire.⚖️ Un paso atrásLo importante: la Corte de Apelaciones del Noveno Circuito de los Estados Unidos, con sede en San Francisco, declaró este miércoles como inconstitucional la prohibición de California de vender armas semiautomáticas a adultos menores de 21 años."Estados Unidos no existiría sin el heroísmo de los adultos jóvenes que lucharon y murieron en nuestro Ejército Revolucionario", escribió el juez Ryan Nelson.Explícamelo: los límites de edad más estrictos para rifles y escopetas se aprobaron en 2018 después de que algunos de los peores tiroteos masivos del país fueran cometidos por adultos jóvenes que usaban rifles.Incluido el tiroteo masivo ocurrido ese año en Parkland, Florida, durante San Valentín, cuando un joven de 19 años asesinó a 17 estudiantes y personal de la escuela secundaria Marjory Stoneman Douglas.Sin embargo, en un fallo de 2 a 1, el panel de la Corte dijo que la ley viola el derecho a portar armas garantizado en la Segunda Enmienda de la Constitución estadounidense.¿Y ahora? La Coalición de Políticas de Armas de Fuego, que presentó el caso, dice que el fallo les hace ser más optimistas para la anulación de otras prohibiciones de armas de fuego basadas en la edad.Más información en NBC.🇸🇻 Prisión por abortarLo importante: un juez condenó a 30 años de prisión por homicidio agravado a una mujer en El Salvador por sufrir un aborto involuntario.La abogada de la víctima sostuvo que el juez que dictaminó la sentencia actuó con parcialidad y privilegió una versión de los hechos cargada de estigmas y estereotipos de género.Explícamelo: en octubre de 2019, 'Esme' sufrió una emergencia obstétrica y su bebé falleció. La mujer de 28 años buscó asistencia en un hospital público, pero en lugar de recibir ayuda, fue denunciada y detenida.En El Salvador, país donde el aborto está prohibido en cualquier tipo de circunstancias, es habitual que las mujeres que sufren complicaciones en su embarazo sean acusadas de haberse practicado un aborto y procesadas bajo el cargo de homicidio agravado.Según datos de la Agrupación Ciudadana por la Despenalización del Aborto, en las últimas dos décadas, alrededor de 181 mujeres que experimentaron emergencias obstétricas "fueron procesadas por aborto u homicidio agravado en El Salvador".¿Y ahora? Agrupación Ciudadana ya manifestó en un comunicado que apelará la decisión del juez y su presidenta, Morena Herrera, denunció la decisión de la justicia argumentando que “con esa sentencia, se marca un retroceso".Más información en France 24.🌍 Monitor globalBREAKING🇫🇮 Los líderes de Finlandia urgen solicitar entrar en la OTAN “sin demora”The New York Times (en inglés, 2 minutos)🇱🇰 Sri Lanka da pleno poderes al ejército para reprimir manifestacionesTeleSUR (en español; 3 minutos)🪙 Las fortunas de los milmillonarios de criptomonedas son destruidas en cuestión de semanasBloomberg (en inglés; 4 minutos)👾 En el DiscordUn retazo de Maricopa LandMuchos maricopers estarán esta noche en Discord comentando la segunda semifinal de Eurovisión.

Dr. Laura Smith is a geographer at the University of Exeter, U.K. She works across cultural geography and the environmental humanities, with research interests in ecological restoration and rewilding, the history and conservation of U.S. public lands, national parks, American literature, and environmental protest and activism. Exeter University Profile and Twitter Her first book, Ecological Restoration and the U.S. Nature and Environmental Writing Tradition: A Rewilding of American Letters, was published earlier this year, on the American environmental writers Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, Aldo Leopold, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Edward Abbey, looking at how the connections between writers and places, and the texts produced, have helped shape ecological restoration programs. Palgrave Macmillan Amazon.com Barnes & Noble Dr Smith takes us on an exploration of the entanglements between these famed writers and the places they focused they're writing on presented in her own storying—restorying—restoring framework on early American environmental literature. From her unique perspective, Dr. Smith lays out an intricate human geography that she says lead to and continues to impart “literary interventions in restoration politics.” She shows us how these early writings have been used and recycled far and wide by conservationists, activities, policymakers to defend U.S. public lands and ideas about wilderness, restoration and rewilding. The takeaway is that we should pay attention to environmental writing, because it has a powerful role in guiding references for restoration, practice on the ground or contributing to policy debates. These are the legends baked into our origin stories, ethical intentions, organizational missions and politics. This discussion is an opportunity to crack those letters open again to ponder where we came from collectively and reinvigorate our imaginations about what exactly we are conserving and with whom we are comrades in restoration.

¿Cómo sobrevive un padre la pérdida de su hijo? ¿Es posible que en algún momento del duelo se acabe el dolor? ¿Y qué pasa cuando esa pérdida ocurre a causa de un tiroteo masivo en la escuela, el lugar que debería ser el más seguro para los estudiantes? Estas y otras preguntas venían a mi mente antes de conversar con mi invitado para este episodio de Cuestión de Práctica. Las respuestas que conseguí son un tributo a la vida, un testimonio al dolor y una manifestación del inmenso poder de ese amor que nunca muere. En esta oportunidad me acompaña Manuel Oliver, el papá de Joaquín, como él mismo suele presentarse. El 14 de febrero de 2018, Joaquín llegó a su escuela, la secundaria Marjory Stoneman Douglas en Parkland, Florida, para reunirse con sus compañeros de clase y nunca más volvió a casa. Ese día se convirtió, junto a otras 16 personas, en víctima del tiroteo masivo escolar más letal en los Estados Unidos. A partir de ese día sus padres, Manuel y Patricia, dejaron de ser quienes habían sido hasta ese entonces. Ese fue el día cuando todo cambió. Desde entonces ambos tienen un propósito de vida que nunca imaginaron. Esta es una conversación para escuchar con el corazón, porque llega directamente allí. Es el testimonio franco de un padre que perdió a su hijo y que busca la manera de transformar ese dolor en activismo. Porque Manuel lloró, y sigue llorando, todos los días; pero sus lágrimas se encauzan en una misión muy clara: acabar con la violencia que dejan las armas en los Estados Unidos. Así confundo junto a su esposa la organización Change The Ref para empoderar a los futuros líderes del país y mantener la presión sobre la necesidad de regular la tenencia de armas. Manuel convirtió su pérdida en algo más grande que dolor. Ahora su misión en mantener con vida el mensaje de Joaquín. Seguimos en sintonía. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/eli-bravo/support
