The Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa's launched what it calls a 'genocide hotline' - asking people to report sightings of Israeli Defence Force soldiers holidaying in New Zealand. It's part of their campaign against the war on Gaza, and it says the focus is not Israeli or Jewish people - but IDF soldiers. National chair, John Minto, says now is a window of opportunity to pressure Israel more to continue with the ceasefire. "There's been industrial-scale killing of Palestinians in Gaza - no one involved in that army should be allowed into New Zealand." The post has prompted more than 100 complaints to the Human Rights Commission. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over one-third of the world's food is lost or wasted, undermining efforts to end hunger and malnutrition while contributing 8 to 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. In low- and middle-income countries, over 40 percent of food loss occurs before a crop even makes it to market, whether due to inadequate storage, pests or microbes, spoilage, spillage in transport or otherwise. Eliminating food loss and waste (FLW) would provide enough food to feed two billion people, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing FLW is critical to global food security, nutrition and climate change mitigation, with food rescue playing an important role in these efforts. In order to raise awareness, exchange information and share success stories, USAID's Food Loss and Waste Community of Practice created the USAID Kitchen Sink Food Loss and Waste Podcast. Our goal is to share monthly, bite-sized episodes that highlight the approaches USAID and the U.S. government are taking to address FLW. We hope these episodes provide a valuable resource for those interested in why we should care about FLW and how we can reduce it. Our latest episode is with Marie Bucko, National Chair of the 2024 Feds Feed Families Campaign, which collected over 12 million pounds of food donations in order to tackle food insecurity and nourish our neighbors. Feds Feed Families helps food pantries and food banks stay stocked during the summer months when they traditionally see a decrease in donations and an increase in need. By promoting volunteerism and collaboration among US Government employees, Feds Feed Families aims to raise awareness of hunger and combat food insecurity. Together, Marie and Nika, who served as the Deputy National Chair, reflect on the success of the 2024 campaign and share how to get involved in opportunities to glean excess food to reduce food loss and waste while increasing access to safe, nutritious food.You can subscribe to receive the latest episodes of USAID's Kitchen Sink and listen to our episodes on the platform of your choice: Apple, Spotify, and more! Video recordings of the episodes are available on YouTube. Check in every month for new episodes as global experts discuss a range of issues about FLW and methane emissions - from the critical role of youth to the staggering economic costs - and learn about specific ways that USAID is tackling FLW around the world. If you have an idea for an episode topic you'd like to see featured or if you would like to participate in an episode of USAID's Kitchen Sink, please reach out to Nika Larian (nlarian@usaid.gov).There's no time to waste!

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes in Brian Kilmeade, author of Teddy and Booker T: How Tow American Icons Blazed a Path for Racial Equality, back onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear a historical contextualization of the emerging third party candidate, Robert Kennedy Jr, discussing the time that Teddy Roosevelt ran as a third party candidate, pointing out the differences from his time to now. Kilmeade and Giordano uses Roosevelts often unheard story as an example of things that aren't, but should be taught in public schools. Along with the conversation about third party candidates, Giordano asks Kilmeade his thoughts on who Trump may choose as his vice presidential candidate. Also, Giordano and Kilmeade delve into Kilmeade's work history, with Kilmeade telling in depth his time spent with NFL hall-of-famer Jim Brown, an incredibly inspirational stories. Then, Dom welcomes in Terry Strada, National Chair of 9/11 Families United, onto the podcast after a recent poll revealed that one in five Gen Zs have a positive view of Osama Bin Laden, noting that what he did was a net positive for the World. Strada and Giordano share a deep discussion about the newest generation and what's led to sympathy for terrorists, with Strada stressing the importance of education about the day so accuracies and factual information makes it to our children. Finally, Dom welcomes in David Zweig back onto the podcast on the one-year anniversary of his release of the Twitter Files, which exposed the censorship that persisted on Twitter throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. In his reporting a year ago, Zweig exposed that Twitter was censoring information that was true but inconvenient to US governmental policy, also discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed and suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC's own data. Zweig offers his thoughts on what has unfolding since then concerning Twitter, now named X after an Elon Musk takeover, which largely happened because of this information coming to light.

Annika Krovi and Henry Pahlow, National Chair and Vice Chair of High School Democrats of America, join David and Rachel to talk about engaging voters and potential voters when they are still enrolled in high school. Neither Annika nor Henry is eligible yet to cast their own votes, but they speak like veteran political operatives about canvassing, phone-banking, and participating on campaigns--and about their success in bringing a resolution to the Democratic National Committee meeting and have it approved. We talk about expanding the membership of USDA, about the opportunity Annika and her grandparents will have in 2024 to cast their votes for the first time, about Henry's research and initiatives to involve rural voters, and--it must be said--about dad jokes.

When trial lawyer Jamal Alsaffar of Austin Texas heard about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, he had the eerie feeling of history repeating itself.  Many of the facts were strikingly similar to what had occurred in the Sutherland Springs church mass shooting case in Texas that Jamal tried to a Federal judge, resulting in a $230 million judgment for the families.  In the process, Jamal also forced the U.S. Government to disclose documents and information that demonstrated a long-standing pattern of failing to report dangerous, violent, and mentally unstable members of the armed forces to the FBI databank, thereby permitting tens of thousands of deranged or dangerous individuals to purchase and continue to possess firearms.  As a result of Jamal's case, he not only secured compensation for his clients, but he forced the Air Force to enact policy changes that resulted in tens of thousands of dangerous individuals being reported.  Join Ben and Rahul for their in-depth discussion with Jamal, including his journey to becoming a trial lawyer that started with him becoming a standout in high school and college mock trial competitions to becoming one of the leading lawyers in the United States in bringing claims against the Federal Government and representing victims of mass shootings. About Jamal AlsaffarMr. Alsaffar was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and is a nationally experienced trial attorney.

His legal peers have voted him as a “Super Lawyer” from 2014-2022 and prior to that as a Texas “Rising Star” from 2006-2014.
