With over 83 percent public support, the SAVE Act should be a layup. So why are Democrats attacking it as "Jim Crow 2.0," and why is Republican leadership in the Senate stalling behind procedural excuses? This episode breaks down what the SAVE America Act actually does, why voter ID has overwhelming bipartisan support, and how the "suppression" narrative relies on racial gaslighting. From the myth of nationalized elections to the Senate's zombie filibuster, Professor Nick Giordano provides a blunt analysis of why election integrity has become a controversial fight in Washington. What You'll Learn What the SAVE Act really changes and why proof of citizenship matters for secure elections Why claims that voter ID is racist collapse under real-world scrutiny and polling data Black and Latino communities How voter roll maintenance works everywhere else in government and why elections are treated differently Why the zombie filibuster allows Senate leadership to block popular legislation without taking a public stand What the GOP's hesitation reveals about political courage and the upcoming 2026 midterms.

Bongani speaks to Chrispin Phiri, spokesperson for the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco), following the release of the 2024 US State Department’s Country Report on Human Rights in South Africa.

Today, a story that starts small and private, with one woman alone in her bathroom, as she makes a quiet, startling discovery about her own body. But that small, private moment grows and grows, and pretty soon it becomes something so big that it has impacted the life of every person reading this right now… and all that without the woman ever even knowing the impact she had. We originally aired this story back in 2010, but we thought we'd bring it back today, as questions about bodily autonomy circle with renewed force.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Rebecca SklootSignup for our newsletter!!

Friday Juma KhutbaFebruary 21st, 2025- Imam ‘Ali (a) in epistle #53 to Mālik al-Ashtar emphasizes that society prospers when all classes support each other, as no class is independent. - He identifies seven societal classes: the army, judiciary, executive branch, revenue officers, bureaucracy, traders and industrialists, and the lowest class. - He urges compassion and responsibility toward the lowest class: the poor, destitute, penniless, and disabled, stressing that fulfilling their rights is a heavy but necessary duty for leaders. - Criticism of the U.S. administration for undermining minority rights by dismantling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, ignoring the immigrant nature of North America. - Some Canadian politicians have also targeted minorities through legal measures, such as Stephen Harper's government auditing charities for political activity via the CRA's Review and Analysis Division (RAD). - Between 2008–2015, RAD audited 16 charities, revoking 8 statuses—6 of which were Muslim-led. Overall, 12 out of 14 revoked charities since RAD's inception were Muslim. - Pro-Israeli charities faced consequences only after complaints from Muslim and other groups. - In the current Liberal Party leadership race, Chrystia Freeland promises to eliminate RAD; the NCCM urges action to end both RAD and Islamophobia in the CRA. - Past promises from Justin Trudeau to eliminate RAD remained unfulfilled. - Religious teachings on the merits of fasting during Sha‘bān: - Fasting 16-30 days brings escalating spiritual rewards, from extinguishing hellfire to receiving heavenly blessings. - Specific rewards include the closing of hell's gates, opening of paradise's gates, receiving palaces of jewels, marrying heavenly beings, and angelic blessings. - Completing 30 days of fasting leads to divine forgiveness, erasing all past sins regardless of their magnitude.

I mentioned Singapore when discussing Cardinal Francis, who was born just across the strait in neighboring Malaysia. In fact, I even referenced today's Cardinal, saying I would be covering him in November, but of course things changed a bit since then and I expect you'll forgive me if I don't wait until this November to avoid being wrong about that.   Anyways, as if to underscore how close all of Singapore is to its larger neighbor, William did the philosophy half of his seminary training in Malaysia and the theology half in Singapore. Shortly before his 28th birthday, he was ordained as a priest for the Archdiocese of Singapore, and yes, if you guessed that the Archdiocese of Singapore is actually the only diocese in Singapore, you'd be correct. We looked at the somewhat similar case of tiny Luxembourg a couple episodes ago, but there are differences here, most notably in terms of population density- Singapore is less than a third the size of Luxembourg, but has over eight times the population. The island is basically one big city, home to nearly six million souls. Also, unlike Luxembourg, most of those souls aren't Catholic, with the Church claiming 170,000 adherents, or a little over 3% of the population.   The first five years of William's priesthood were spent as a pastor in one of Singapore's 32 Catholic churches. As a colonial legacy, Masses in Singapore are typically said in English, and yes Cardinal Goh's English is fine. Oops, sorry, I'm supposed be calling him Father Goh for this part so you can pretend to be surprised. My bad. Anyways, his Mandarin is also fine, for what it's worth.   Father Goh made his way to Rome and studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University for the next couple years, winding up with a licentiate in theology. Upon his return to Singapore it was back to pastoral work as well as a professorship at the local seminary. By 2005, he was serving as rector.   On December 29th, 2012, Father Goh was selected as the Coadjutor Archbishop of Singapore, which would normally mean he would become the new Archbishop within the next few months, and in this case meant yes, he became the new Archbishop about five months later.   When he became coadjutor, he had the following to say, quote:   "I would like to pay particular attention to the young people because this is the important lot of people in the church. They are vibrant, they are creative, they are full of energy, so the church needs to reach out to these young people, so I would like to meet them too, and to understand their aspirations and how they can contribute to the growth of the church.”   End quote. Unusually, Archbishop Goh also had a role in the secular government of Singapore, serving on the Presidential Council for Minority Rights from 2015 to 2018.   Speaking of minority rights, when it comes to migrants Archbishop Goh has been supportive, hosting special masses and saying things like, quote:   “Be inclusive and always be available and generous with your time and talents to help others grow and flourish, especially the migrants. Only then will we be able to build God's Kingdom where fraternity may flourish.”   End quote. Anyone vaguely familiar with Pope Francis knows he's got a soft spot for migrants, and sharing that sense is a good way to get on his good books. One way or another, Pope Francis made Archbishop Goh Singapore's first Cardinal in 2022. Later that year, he appointed him to the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life.   William Cardinal GOH is eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2037.   Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers,  and there will be more Cardinal Numbers soon.

Common ground is hard to find in today's politics. Many people, frustrated with a system demanding constant compromise, blame the Constitution for the discord. However, conservative scholar Yuval Levin argues that the Constitution is not the problem but the solution. In American Covenant, Levin blends engaging history with lucid analysis to reveal the Constitution's true genius and its power to facilitate constructive disagreement, negotiate resolutions, and forge unity in a fractured society. He also offers practical solutions for reforming malfunctioning aspects of the constitutional order. Hospeful and insightful, American Covenant celebrates the Constitution's remarkable power to unite a diverse society, reassuring us that a less divided future is possible. Levin's work is rooted in the best of our political tradition, highlighting the framers' sophisticated grasp of political division and the Constitution's exceptional ability to foster unity. Yuval Levin is the director of social, cultural, and constitutional studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). He is the founder and editor of National Affairs and a senior editor at The New Atlantis. Levin's previous books include The Fractured Republic and A Time to Build. A former member of the White House domestic policy staff under George W. Bush, he lives in Maryland. Shermer and Levin discuss: Trump assassination attempt: conspiracy or incompetence? • Biden cognitive infirmities and why the party can't replace him • Out of 340 million Americans why did we end up with these two guys? • why the country is more polarized than ever before • the unique genius of the founding fathers • The Federalist Papers • why the three branches of government—legislative, executive, judicial—were established • what the founders got right and what they got wrong.

How do religious minorities fare under the constitution and blasphemy laws in Indonesia? The Indonesia Constitution seems to guarantee religious freedom so long as you believe in an almighty god. However, there are many real-life cases where it seems this is not enough. Add to this blasphemy laws, which have existed since the 1960s, and we can see that Indonesia has legal tools that can be easily weaponsised against individuals who express views that fall foul of the religious majority around them. In this podcast, Elisabeth Kramer talks to Dr Al Khanif about the state of religious rights and freedom of expression, and how jural traditions, the interpretations of laws based on historical and social norms, have made it even more difficult to assert these rights. Dr Khanif is the head of the Center for Human Rights, Multiculturalism and Migration at the University of Jember. In 2024, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales, Dr Jemma Purdey from the Australia-Indonesia Centre, Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University and Tito Ambyo from RMIT.

In episode 45 of The Chris Abraham Show, Season 5, Chris probes into the intricate tapestry of American populism. He ventures beyond the superficial narratives to offer an in-depth perspective on the sociopolitical climate defining the Trump era and its persisting impacts on today's America. A Closer Look at Populism and the Trump Era - Chris starts the conversation by dissecting the political conundrum of Trump's America. He contemplates Trump as a "placeholder" symbolizing a large segment of American society that feels overlooked and pushed to the sidelines of the political mainstream. How did this dynamic contribute to Trump's rise? What are its lasting implications on the contemporary political landscape? A detailed discussion of these questions sets the stage for the episode. Media Influence & The Battle for Truth - In an era where information is both the weapon and the battlefield, Chris delves into the role of media and its power to shape public perceptions. He touches on the intricacies of media narratives, the changing nature of traditionally respected news sources such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, and the challenging quest for truth in a sea of misinformation and competing narratives. Understanding the Cultural Revolution & Social Loyalty Tests - Chris guides listeners on a fascinating exploration of the societal and cultural shifts happening in today's America. He discusses the emergence of a new cultural "purity test," where compliance with certain societal norms, beliefs, and behaviors is becoming a measure of loyalty. Are we in the middle of a cultural revolution? How is it reshaping American society, and what are its potential implications? Minority Rights vs Majority Concerns: A Delicate Balance - Chris engages in a thought-provoking discussion around the perceived over-prioritization of minority rights. He brings empathy and nuance to a complex topic, navigating the delicate balance between protecting the rights of minority groups and addressing the concerns of the majority. The Ongoing Debate on the Second Amendment - As gun control discussions gain momentum, Chris amplifies the concerns many Americans have about potential intrusions on their Second Amendment rights. He delves into the controversies surrounding the type and quantity of firearms an individual should be allowed to possess, ammunition ownership, and the broader implications for privacy and civil liberties. Global View of America's Domestic Affairs - How does the world perceive America's treatment of its citizens? Chris wraps up the episode by turning his gaze outward, pondering how America's actions are seen by the global community. The concluding segment stirs up questions about America's role in the world and how domestic decisions can impact international perceptions. Testing the Boundaries of Privacy and Public Safety - Chris also delves into the broader concerns surrounding privacy in an age where personal information is becoming increasingly accessible. He contemplates how these challenges can potentially alter the relationship between citizens and their government, especially in terms of public safety and individual rights. Unpacking American Patriotism - Chris also takes the time to probe into the changing face of American patriotism, and the role of military and law enforcement personnel in shaping this national ethos. He reflects on the importance of the Constitution as the backbone of American democracy, and how its interpretation can vary among different segments of society. In this episode, Chris does not shy away from addressing the complex issues plaguing American society today. This deep-dive aims to encourage listeners to engage in thoughtful dialogue and reflect on the state of their nation. So tune in and join the conversation, as The Chris Abraham Show continues to stimulate important discussions, promote diversity of thought, and challenge its audience to think critically about the world around them. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

In India, Christians account for about 2% to 3% of the population. However, in the state of Kerala, Christians make up a remarkable 18% to 19% of the total population. And among them, Syrian Christians play a significant role, representing almost half of Kerala's Christian population. Although the Syrian Christians of Kerala are a minority, they are also a caste-, race-, and class-privileged minority that have historically benefited from their privileged position within society. And if the Syrian Christians are the dominant community, then it is also necessary to look at the subordinated communities, as they represent the minority within the minority. Our guest today is Sonja Thomas, author of, 'Privileged Minorities: Syrian Christianity, Gender, and Minority Rights in Postcolonial India' and together we will discuss the Christians of Kerala, specifically the Syrian Christians, and navigate the intricacies of caste, gender, class, race, religion, and language.

“Japan assist, not interfere.” Those are the four words that summarize Japan's foreign policy stance towards ASEAN countries, told Kiyoteru Tsutsui, the Professor of Sociology and Director of the Japan Program at The Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC), Stanford University, in the conversation. This statement is reminiscent of Ryu Hassan's comment in Endgame's earlier episodes with one of the prominent neurologists in Indonesia. He said that a happy country is a country in which its citizens refrain from infringing upon the personal boundaries of others. Japan serves as a salient example of this phenomenon. An intriguing question, then, arises: is this 'knowing one's place' attitude that is ingrained in Japanese society also manifest in its political outlook? Kiyoteru Tsutsui's discussion with Indonesian entrepreneur, educator, and 2022-23 visiting scholar at APARC, Stanford University—Gita Wirjawan—reflects upon the 46 years of Japan-ASEAN friendship which its foundation was built by Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda. Nearly half a century later, Japan still consistently demonstrated steadfast actions to help Southeast Asia's economy, health sector, and education that can help the region foster its soft power. The three 'hear-to-heart' promises resulted in ASEAN's courteous manner toward Japan, a country that Muthiah Alagappa refers to as the 'stabilizer of the Asia-Pacific region'. Moreover, the author of "Human Rights and the State: The Power of Ideas and the Realities of International Politics" (listed among the 10 best books of 2022 in Japan) also touches on the ethnic discrimination issue in Japan and how international human rights institutions could help to address this problem; risk of a Taiwan invasion for Japan; modern history of Japan; and his optimism on the future of ASEAN. #Endgame #GitaWirjawan #KiyoteruTsutsui ---------------- SGPP Indonesia Master of Public Policy March 2023 Intake: admissions.sgpp.ac.id admissions@sgpp.ac.id https://wa.me/628111522504 Other "Endgame" episodes on ASEAN: https://endgame.id/scotmarciel https://endgame.id/martynatalegawa https://endgame.id/kishoremahbubani Visit and subscribe: @sgppindonesia @visinemapictures

 Last month marked the commemoration of the 99th anniversary of the signing of the Lausanne Treaty, a treaty that is at the heart of Greek-Turkish relations - whether we are talking about sovereignty in the Aegean Sea or the rights of minorities in each country. In its efforts to revise the status quo in the region, Turkey has made attempts to re-interpret Lausanne as it sees fit. For example, Ankara has referred to this treaty in an effort to cast a shadow over the sovereignty of Greek islands in the Aegean, and recently is attempting to make an issue with Greece over the rights of the Muslim minority in Thrace. Symeon Tegos, who has extensive experience working in Thrace with the Greek Foreign Ministry, joins me to break down why Ankara's accusations regarding the Muslim minority in Thrace are unsubstantiated and an attempt to reverse reality. Symeon Tegos is the newly appointed Consul General of Greece in Boston, and for the last three years served as director of political affairs at the office of the Foreign Ministry in Thrace. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkey's Erdogan rails at Greece over Muslim minority rightsAthens shoots down Turkish allegations over minority schools in ThraceTurkey sends new drill ship to eastern MediterraneanMilder East Med scenarioEU to stop Greek budget watch in formal end to major crisis

Odds are, you probably haven't heard of the Israeli government's “Cyber Unit,” but it's worth paying attention to whether or not you live in Israel and the Palestinian territories. It's an entity that, among other things, reaches out to major online platforms like Facebook and Twitter with requests that the platforms remove content. It's one of a number of such agencies around the globe, which are known as Internet Referral Units. Earlier in April, the Israeli Supreme Court gave a green light to the unit's activities, rejecting a legal challenge that charged the unit with infringing on constitutional rights.This week on Arbiters of Truth, the Lawfare Podcast's miniseries on our online information ecosystem, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic talked to Fady Khoury and Rabea Eghbariah, who were part of the legal team that challenged the Cyber Unit's work on behalf of Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab and Minority Rights in Israel. Why do they—and many other human rights activists–find Internet Referral Units so troubling, and why do governments like the units so much? Why did the Israeli Supreme Court disagree with Fady and Rabea's challenge to the unit's activities? And what does the Court's decision say about the developing relationship between countries' legal systems and platform content moderation systems?
