The final stage of Jair Bolsonaro's coup trial kicked off on September 2 in Brasília. After months of evidence-gathering, arguments and testimonies, the justices are expected to deliver their ruling by September 12, in what is arguably the most consequential trial in Brazil's recent history.At the center of the case are the riots that occurred on January 8, 2023. They looked eerily like January 6 in the United States — but worse: crowds stormed not only Congress, but also the presidential palace and the Supreme Court itself. But prosecutors say those riots were just the visible edge of something larger — a vast conspiracy to push the military into breaking democracy.So what happens now? How will the justices rule, and what will it mean for Brazil's fragile democracy — and its powerful military? Our guest today is Davi Tangerino. He's a criminal lawyer and a professor at State University of Rio de Janeiro. Tangerino also served on Brazil's National Council for Criminal and Penitentiary Policy, and helped lead the Brazilian Institute of Criminal Sciences.Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts or on The Brazilian Report.Support the show

When it comes to teaching grammar, the research is clear. Drill and kill is not what we're looking for. You don't want to march through a series of grammar lessons unrelated to your students' writing and reading. Here's what NCTE's "Resolution on Grammar Exercises to Teach Speaking and Writing" has to say about it: "This resolution was prompted by the continuing use of repetitive grammar drills and exercises in the teaching of English in many schools. Proposers pointed out that ample evidence from 50 years of research has shown that the teaching of grammar in isolation does not lead to improvement in students' speaking and writing, and that, in fact, it hinders the development of students' oral and written language. Be it therefore resolved, that the National Council of Teachers of English affirm the position that the use of isolated grammar and usage exercises not supported by theory and research is a deterrent to the improvement of students' speaking and writing and that, in order to improve both of these, class time at all levels must be devoted to opportunities for meaningful listening, speaking, reading, and writing; and that NCTE urge the discontinuance of testing practices that encourage the teaching of grammar rather than English language arts instruction." So how can we teach students about writer's craft moves, and the rich palette of options that grammar provides them in making meaning? Well, that's our subject for today's "Plan My Lesson" episode. I received several requests for lessons to make grammar more fun, so today we're talking about ideas for making grammar moments more effective AND more interesting when it comes to lesson planning. You won't find any multiple-choice here, but you will find ideas you could try weaving into your lessons, regardless of where your students are in their writing journey.

Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Coast Crisis that unfolded in 2005 marked a major social movement turning point in the United States. Katrina exposed the combination of a heightened climate crisis and how the state and private forces are arranged not to protect or rebuild but to extract, abandon, and displace our people and our resources. This episode digs into community responses to Katrina 20 years ago, and current organizing in the face of Hurricane Helene and flooding across central Appalachia.  This episode is hosted by Aljosie Aldrich Harding (she/her) a member of NCOE, a community organizer, a memory worker, and a strong believer in political education and spiritual healing.  Joining Aljosie in this conversation are: Artivista Karlin (she/her) grew up in Miami, Florida and is a current college student based in Durham, NC. Artivista organizes with the Sunrise Movement a movement of young people fighting to stop the climate crisis and win a Green New Deal. Willa Johnson (she/her) lives in eastern Kentucky where she was raised. In 2022, Willa and her son lost their house in devastating floods. She has been doing flood and tornado response work in rural Appalachia ever since. She is the Disaster Recovery Communications Coordinator for Invest Appalachia  Ms. Oleta Garrett Fitzgerald (she/her) is based in Jackson, Mississippi and has been working across the gulf coast region for decades. Oleta is the Executive Director of the Children's Defense Fund Southern Regional Office. She is also the Regional Administrator for the Southern Rural Black Women's Initiative for Economic and Social Justice.

This week's Open Mic guest is Duane Simpson, President and CEO of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. Simpson brings a wealth of experience from the private sector as well as farmer and retail associations. Despite a bolstering of Title 1 policy in the Budget Reconciliation Act, Simpson sees headwinds in Washington from completing the farm bill, labor reform and a resolution to many regulations facing farmers and the ag industry. Simpson sees a need for verifiable standards for words like sustainability and phrases like "regenerative agriculture practices".

We're live with Steve Ray, Catholic convert and pilgrimage leader talks about St. Peter: CEO of the Catholic Church,Michael Acaldo, CEO of the National Council of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul updates us and Dr. Michael Pakaluk, author, The Shock of Holiness: The Romance of Everyday Life joins us.

Steve talks with Shahin Gobadi, U.S.-educated nuclear engineer and member of Iran's Parliament-in-Exile, who shares insights from the recent conference in Rome.

In a recent interview with Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community, registered nurses Elisabeth Mack and Sherri Mack shared their expertise on plant-based therapy, specifically cannabis and hemp-derived products, for older adults. With decades of nursing experience, both have transitioned from traditional medical settings to pioneering the use of cannabinoids to improve quality of life, particularly for seniors. Their company, Holistic Caring and The Green Nurse, offers education, coaching, and consulting to help individuals navigate this evolving field Bloom Hemp CBD, their sister company, specializes in organic hemp-based CBD formulas tailored to target specific symptoms. They also provide free access to a nurse hotline and personalized care plans to support your wellness journey.Personal Journeys to Plant-Based MedicineElisabeth Mack, MBA, BSN, RN, discovered cannabis as medicine after a bicycle accident left her reliant on high doses of ibuprofen and muscle relaxants. Introduced to CBD through a topical massage at her chiropractor's office, she experienced reduced inflammation and pain after adding CBD extracts to her supplement regimen, prompting her to research cannabis extensively. This led to her book, Cannabis for Health: Become a Coach, and the development of training programs for healthcare professionals, nurses and patients.Sherri Mack, BSN, RN, widely known as The Green Nurse, experienced a life-altering health crisis in 2012 that left her hospitalized in the ICU and dependent on numerous pharmaceuticals. Her turning point came when a 70-year-old nurse introduced her to cannabis, which enabled her to transition off 18 medications. Motivated to empower others through her experience, Sherri founded The Green Nurse. In 2021, she joined forces with Elisabeth's Holistic Caring, creating a robust educational platform called Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse. This platform features a free network designed to help individuals adopt, optimize, and maintain holistic approaches to health and wellness using plant medicines.Cannabis nursing has emerged as a recognized specialty, officially endorsed by the American Nurses Association in 2023. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing now requires nurses to be educated on cannabis as a form of medicine. Key resources, such as Cannabis: A Handbook for Nurses (featuring Chapter 9, "The Cannabis Nurse Experience," co-authored by Sherri) and Elisabeth's book, offer valuable professional training. Their comprehensive 30-unit health coach program empowers nurses to incorporate cannabis therapy into their practice, broadening access to this specialized care.Elisabeth and Sherri Mack are transforming how older adults approach plant-based therapy, offering a compassionate, evidence-based alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals. By combining their nursing expertise with personalized coaching, they empower seniors to manage pain, enhance well-being, and live their best lives. For those interested, their resources at Holistic Caring and Bloom Hemp provide a trusted starting point to explore this natural option.For more information, visit Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse  https://holisticcaring.com/ or contact their free nurse line at 970-404-HOPE(4673) to begin your journey with plant-based therapy.

What if the most important trust-building moments with clients aren't during meetings, but actually in between them?

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to an inspiring guest: Dr. Crystal Collier, PhD, LPC-S. Dr. Collier is a therapist, educator, and author, known for her powerful work in prevention education and brain development. She is the author of The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide and the Know Your Neuro children's book series. The Know Your Neuro prevention model was selected for the Prevention and Education Commendation from the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. Dr. Collier received the Torch Bearer Award from the Texas Association of Addiction Professionals, Outstanding Research Award from the Association of Alternative Peer Groups, and was voted Counselor of the Year by the Houston Counseling Association. In this episode, Dr. Collier dives deep into: Risky behaviors to watch for in elementary students How early intervention impacts brain development The effects of screen time and technology on the brain The case for phone-free and watch-free schools Why it's never too early to talk to kids about feelings, empathy, and healthy coping She shares sobering insights, like how 50% of anxiety disorders are diagnosed by age 6, and how exposure to drugs, alcohol, and even pornography can start as early as elementary school. But the good news? The brain can change! We can equip kids with tools early, long before they reach their “peak” development years. The key lies in prevention, consistent brain-based education, and empowering parents and counselors with the right strategies. Key Takeaways for School Counselors: Feelings education is critical: Teach students to name and express emotions to avoid avoidant coping strategies. Social experience matters: Lack of play and exposure can lead to higher anxiety. Early empathy-building can prevent bullying down the road. Prevention strategies must begin in early childhood and evolve as students grow. Teach executive functioning through brain-based praise and risk education. Use tools from www.knowyourneuro.org to implement evidence-based practices. Pro tip from Dr. Collier: Encourage parents to have six 10-minute brain conversations per year with their kids—it's a simple but powerful way to build awareness. Birth to age 3 is foundational—more kids are sitting with screens than moving their bodies, which affects motor skill development.

We've all heard the story of Adam and Eve. The so-called “first sin,” the disobedience, the downfall. But what if we've been reading it wrong? What if this ancient story isn't about the first sinner…but the first failed leader? In this episode, leadership scholar and host Dr. Kimberly DeSimone challenges centuries of patriarchal interpretation by reframing the Genesis narrative through the lens of modern, evidence-based leadership theory. From blame-shifting to moral cowardice, we explore how Adam's behavior maps onto core leadership failures across five foundational models: Transformational, Servant, Authentic, Adaptive, and Ethical Leadership. We also examine the enduring harm caused by reading Eve as the source of sin—a misreading that has fueled generations of bias, blame, and the marginalization of women. With insight from feminist and womanist scholars like Phyllis Trible, Renita Weems, and Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, this episode is a powerful call to reclaim sacred texts in ways that center accountability, equity, and truth. Key Topics Covered: Re-examining Genesis 2–3: What the Bible actually says vs. how it's been taught How Adam failed as a leader, not just as a man of faith Applying 5 modern leadership theories to the Eden narrative The damaging legacy of blaming Eve—and by extension, women—for failure The power of feminist biblical interpretation and why it matters How reclaiming this story can lead to more just and equitable leadership today Biblical References: Genesis 2:16–17, 2:22, 3:6, 3:12 (The Holy Bible, New Revised Standard Version. Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, 1989.) Scholars & Thought Leaders: Trible, P. (1984). Texts of Terror Trible, P. (1978). God and the Rhetoric of Sexuality Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza – In Memory of Her (1983) Renita J. Weems – Just a Sister Away (1988) Carol Meyers – Discovering Eve (1988) Harding, S. (1991). Whose Science? Whose Knowledge?: Thinking from Women's Lives Code, L. (1991). What Can She Know? Feminist Theory and the Construction of Knowledge  My Manifestatement (Key Takeaway): “It's time to stop interpreting scripture only through the eyes of patriarchy. If we want better leaders, we need better stories—ones that hold power accountable and stop demonizing women to excuse weak leadership.”   Let's Connect @AdvancingWomenPodcast    Please subscribe, rate, and share the podcast!

Glenn Beck Special. How the Iran Conflict Exposed the REAL Threat to America https://youtu.be/S2B63_lTl98?si=z-ND6Jlth1SryaMA Glenn Beck 1.49M subscribers 77,278 views Premiered Jun 25, 2025 #zohranmamdani #glennbeck #iran Steve Bannon warned on "The Glenn Beck Program" that "we're already in the beginning of the kinetic part of the Third World War." But is Iran the biggest threat to America, or is the real threat what Iran represents: the political form of Islam that is spreading and the new relationships that have now been exposed among communists, radical leftists, and Islamists? Glenn reveals tape from a Michigan imam who details the real goal of Iran and Islamists: ending Western civilization. It's what Glenn Beck predicted years ago on Fox News. "Globalize the intifada" is no longer a death chant by Hamas jihadis in Gaza; it's now basically the slogan from New York City's Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. The evidence is clear — radical Islamic ideology has spread from the Middle East to Europe and has made a home in America. Wake up. Guests: Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the U.S. office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, who personally exposed multiple nuclear sites in Iran. Melanie Phillips, British journalist, broadcaster, and author, who says the term "Islamophobia" is being used to shut down the debate about the Islamist march across the West.
