When Charlotte-based entrepreneur Gilberto Bergman describes asbestos removal, he makes it sound like a mix of science, construction and public health. His company, Bergman Brothers Staffing, provides trained, certified workers for jobs that require the safe handling of hazardous materials like asbestos, lead and mold. These jobs, he explains, aren't just dirty or technical — they're lifesaving.“You know you're doing something that is going to protect the well-being of the people in that building,” Bergman said.Bergman's journey into the field wasn't planned. Originally from Nicaragua, he moved to the U.S. as a teenager, eventually landing in Charlotte, where he and his brother started a staffing business. When his brother left, Bergman kept the company going and gradually steered it into a highly specialized niche.Nearly 25 years later, Bergman Brothers is bidding on projects from Texas to Hawaii and working on federal sites across the country. For Bergman, it's both a business and a calling.On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, in an interview with host Steve Dunn, Bergman shares the joys of entrepreneurship and finding his purpose, how toxic materials like asbestos are removed in an environmentally safe way, his journey from Nicaragua to the U.S., and his plans for the future.This episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast is sponsored by Child Care Search, a service of Child Care Resources Inc.

En Équateur, l'explosion des mines illégales

Journal d'Haïti et des Amériques

L'Équateur exporte davantage d'or qu'il n'en produit officiellement. D'après la Chambre des mines du pays, entre 50 et 60% de l'or exporté depuis l'Équateur est d'origine illégale, et souvent contrôlée par les bandes criminelles. Le correspondant de RFI a rencontré, dans le nord du pays, des mineurs artisanaux et d'autres plus industriels qui essaient d'échapper aux rigueurs de la loi. Reportage d'Eric Samson. Près de la frontière colombienne, l'Équateur fait face à une explosion de l'activité minière illégale. À Minas Viejas, par exemple, les pelleteuses rouillées rappellent des années d'extraction clandestine qui ont détruit les rivières et l'environnement. Pourtant, des mineurs continuent d'exploiter l'or, malgré les risques de saisie de leurs machines par la police ou l'armée. L'or se vend facilement et, pour beaucoup, cette activité est la seule source de revenus dans une région où l'agriculture ne suffit pas. Mais la dépendance à l'or fragilise le tissu social : la destruction de pelleteuses par l'armée a déjà plongé des milliers de familles dans la misère. En plus de cela, des organisations criminelles contrôlent le secteur, imposant extorsion et taxes aux mineurs. La violence culmine en mai dernier avec le meurtre de 11 militaires équatoriens. En réaction, l'armée a renforcé son contrôle à la frontière, déployant drones et avions de reconnaissance pour détruire les sites illégaux. Aux Gonaïves, malgré la crise et l'insécurité, des jeunes multiplient les initiatives culturelles et sportives pour offrir à la population des espaces de détente Le 16 août, près de 400 personnes ont assisté au Village des Dattes à la 4e édition de Zetwal Ciné, une projection de films en plein air. L'événement, organisé par les collectifs Lapag'Art et Créa-Culture, vise à combler l'absence de salles de cinéma dans la ville et à répondre au besoin urgent de loisirs. Les organisateurs rappellent que le cinéma est aussi un outil pour recréer du lien social et maintenir une vie culturelle. En parallèle, la Team Populaire organise régulièrement des courses collectives vers Mapou Chevalier, pour aider les habitants à gérer le stress et améliorer leur santé mentale. Ces loisirs d'été n'ont pas toujours reposé uniquement sur la jeunesse… Dans le passé, la mairie organisait des festivals, tournois et concours culturels. Mais selon un responsable local, l'inaction des autorités actuelles et l'insécurité ont entraîné la disparition de ces initiatives En Haïti toujours, un phénomène prend de l'ampleur... Il s'agit de la production de fausses cartes d'identité, fabriquées et imprimées de manière artisanale. Les Haïtiens les utilisent, entre autres, pour recevoir des transferts et faire des transactions bancaires. Comment les Haïtiens en sont-ils venus à fabriquer de fausses cartes d'identité et à pouvoir les utiliser ? Le journaliste Junior Legrand d'Ayibopost nous parle de Jean. Il est devenu professionnel de la pratique après avoir attendu en vain pendant des mois la réimpression de son unique carte d'identité, volée par des bandits lors d'un braquage en 2022. Mais les conséquences de la fabrication de fausses cartes sont très graves, beaucoup d'individus se font voler leur identité et se retrouvent victimes d'extorsion d'argent. Selon le journal, les institutions en Haïti n'ont pas les moyens nécessaires pour faire des vérifications. Une grande inquiétude plane donc autour des élections à venir. Et s'il était possible de voter avec une fausse identité ? Aux États-Unis, la presse s'alarme suite au départ forcé de la directrice du Centre pour le contrôle et la prévention des maladies (CDC), la principale agence de santé américaine Oui, l'agence sanitaire se retrouve « plongée dans le chaos », s'alarme le Time. Le New York Times, lui, rappelle ce qu'il s'est passé en début de semaine aux États-Unis, quand le ministre de la Santé anti-vaccins Robert Kennedy a convoqué Susan Monarez, la directrice de l'agence de santé, pour lui imposer un ultimatum. Il lui a demandé de limoger certains de ses collègues et de s'engager à le soutenir s'il recommandait de restreindre l'accès à certains vaccins sous peine d'être elle-même licenciée. Résultat : Susan Monarez a refusé et a été mise à la porte par la Maison Blanche. Le départ forcé de la directrice a déclenché une vague de démissions dans l'agence. Elle est désormais « décimée », écrit le Washington Post. Il rapporte l'inquiétude de plusieurs experts en santé publique, qui se demandent si l'agence pourrait s'en remettre. « Que va-t-il se passer en cas de pandémie ou de crise sanitaire ? », questionnent-ils. La chaîne CNN, elle, s'inquiète de la politisation de la médecine par l'administration Trump, au risque de mettre en danger la santé publique. À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: Donald Trump limoge Susan Monarez, directrice de la principale agence sanitaire américaine Aux États-Unis toujours, le secrétaire d'État Marco Rubio a annoncé retourner en Amérique latine la semaine prochaine pour des visites au Mexique et en Équateur... Oui, ce sera sa troisième visite dans la région, note le Washington Post. Au programme, des discussions notamment autour de la lutte contre l'immigration illégale, le crime organisé et les cartels de la drogue... Le Washington Post s'est entretenu avec une source anonyme du département d'État. Elle lui a confirmé que des accords d'expulsion allaient être noués avec pratiquement tous les pays d'Amérique latine, sauf le Nicaragua. L'un des objectifs de cette visite est aussi de contenir l'influence chinoise dans la région. Marco Rubio s'était déjà rendu au Panama pour tenter de restreindre le pouvoir grandissant de la Chine sur le canal. Selon la source anonyme du Washington Post des progrès ont été faits dans ce sens-là. Le Panama serait en train de reprendre le contrôle de ses installations portuaires et de se retirer de l'initiative de développement de la Chine des « nouvelles routes de la soie ».  Au Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro s'est exprimé devant des centaines de soldats pour les inciter à se préparer contre une prétendue invasion américaine Alors faut-il vraiment s'inquiéter, jusqu'où Donald Trump est-il prêt à aller ? On se penche sur une analyse réalisée par plusieurs chercheurs sud-américains. Oui, c'est le consortium de journalistes ​​​​​​​Connectas qui a publié cette analyse ce matin. Elle rappelle l'escalade progressive entre Nicolas Maduro et Donald Trump. Elle a atteint un point critique cette semaine alors que le président américain a envoyé, entre autres, des navires de guerre et un sous-marin nucléaire dans les Caraïbes. Pour un ancien diplomate américain interrogé par Connectas, l'épisode entre les deux dirigeants n'est qu'une « démonstration de force performative ». Il dénonce la stratégie paradoxale de Donald Trump qui provoque le Venezuela tout en concluant des accords pétroliers, notamment celui avec la compagnie Chevron le mois dernier.  Et du côté de Maduro, la situation pourrait bien tourner à son avantage, selon l'historienne et journaliste brésilienne Sylvia Colombo. C'est l'occasion pour le président vénézuélien de jouer la carte de la défense de la souveraineté nationale. Une stratégie qui a déjà prouvé son efficacité dans le passé pour des gouvernements faibles et en baisse de popularité. Journal de la 1ère  Une association dédiée à la recherche médicale dans la Caraïbe va avoir son siège en Martinique. Elle s'appelle CariBioparc et rassemble plusieurs pays de la zone, mais aussi des institutions, comme la Sorbonne à Paris.

Zach sits down with Greg and Rachel Denning, parents of seven, world travelers, authors, and coaches who have built a marriage around adventure and intentional living. They share how their story began with adoption, grew through unexpected pregnancies, and expanded into a lifestyle of global travel and immersion experiences for their kids. From living on a shoestring in Nicaragua with six children to now leading retreats, writing books, and running The Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel open up about the lessons they've learned through risk, resilience, and imagination. With candor and humor, they reflect on the importance of listening, navigating differences in intimacy, and approaching both marriage and travel as a hero's journey, one that transforms you with every challenge and every chapter. Key Takeaways Adventure as a family philosophy – Travel and immersion became their way to educate, bond, and expand imagination. Cycles and chapters – They've lived their marriage in 1–3 year “chapters” of babies, moves, and big shifts, embracing change as part of the design. Rock bottom became a turning point – Running out of money in Nicaragua forced them to commit fully to creating their own path forward. Focus creates reality – Greg learned that “where the head goes, the body follows”, what you focus on is what you feel and create. Listening transforms intimacy – Rachel taught Greg how to listen without fixing, which became a cornerstone of their connection. Balancing needs in sex and love – Rachel reframed physical intimacy as a reciprocal need, equal to emotional connection, deepening their bond. Marriage as a hero's journey – Just like travel, marriage is an adventure through unknowns, challenges, and transformation. Guest Info Greg DenningCoach, author of The Formidable Family Man, and co-host of The Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg helps men step into their roles as protectors, providers, and present partners. His coaching and writing distill the principles that guided his own transformation.

As part of BYU-Idaho's Summer Session Devotional Recommendations, we're featuring “Love Thy God and Thy Neighbor" by Sister Reyna I. Aburto, which was delivered on June 4, 2019. Sister Aburto was sustained in April 2017 as the second counselor in the general presidency of the Relief Society, the Church's organization for its six million female members ages 18 and older. Reyna I. Aburto was born in Nicaragua to Noel Blanco and Delbi Cardoza and married Carlos Aburto of Mexico in the Jordan River Utah Temple in 1993. They are both converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and they have three children.Reyna I. Aburto says her husband, Carlos, is her “best friend” and her “biggest support,” and they enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren. She says two major incidents from her childhood greatly impacted her life: surviving an earthquake that destroyed her home and killed her older brother, and living through a period of civil unrest in Nicaragua in the late 1970s. Through these difficult experiences of loss, uncertainty and fear, she learned relationships, family, love and faith are our most precious possessions. Reyna I. Aburto attended Universidad Centroamericana, where she studied industrial engineering for four years, and holds an AAS degree in computer science from Utah Valley University. In 1989, after going through a difficult time in her life, she was invited by Latter-day Saint missionaries to attend church in California. She was hesitant at first, but recalls feeling safe and at home the moment she stepped into the meetinghouse. A few weeks later, at age 26, she was baptized. She says she has “never stopped marveling at the beauty of the gospel,” calling her membership in the Church a huge privilege and gift. Her family attended Spanish-speaking congregations until 2013, when they began attending their neighborhood English-speaking ward, and she has served extensively in the Relief Society, Young Women, Primary, Sunday School and Scouting organizations in her ward and stake (diocese). She served on the Primary general board from 2012 to 2016, where her responsibilities included coordinating resources for children in the Church with disabilities, involvement in the Scouting program, improving Primary web content and providing trainings to Church leaders in the United States and Mexico. She has worked in the language industry for more than 25 years, balancing work, family and Church responsibilities, and now owns a small translation business with her husband.

It's Tuesday, August 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Women in India raped, murdered, and secretly buried A temple maintenance man in India is under arrest, after he testified of hundreds of women who were allegedly raped, murdered, and secretly buried around the small religious town of Dharmasthala. The BBC reports that nearly 100 bone fragments of human remains have already been found at two spots the man identified. The employee says he worked for the temple administration between 1995 and 2014, when he was allegedly coerced into burying the bodies. In 2025, 950 attacks on Christians in India For the first five months of 2025, Open Doors reports 950 attacks on Christians in India, which accounts for a rate of 2,300 per year. According to this reliable source, “These incidents included attacks, threats to abandon the Christian faith, excommunication, social boycotts, halting prayer services and church closures. Throughout India, 200 cases have been filed against pastors and believers based on fabricated conversion allegations.” India rated as the worst in The Worldview's international morality index  -- or the Evil Index -- released last month. India rated high in persecuting Christians, corruption perceptions, as well as supporting abortion and homosexuality. Most evil nations vs. Best behaved nations The highest rated nations for immorality were India, North Korea, Mexico, Columbia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Somalia, Nicaragua, China, and Nigeria. Best nations on the list were Armenia, Eastern European nations, Israel, Japan, and Singapore. Among European nations, Russia, Greenland, and Belgium were rated poorly. Switzerland and Ireland rated best on this International Morality Index.  The nation of Chile lost the most ground over the last eight years. The country was rated at the top of the morality index eight years ago, and has dropped to the 66th position, due largely to approving abortion in 2017, and adopting homosexual faux-marriage in 2022.   The International Morality Index considers nations on the basis of the sixth, seventh, and eighth commandments of God's law as well as the persecution of Christians.  John 1:29 says, “But let us remember, this is why Jesus came. . . John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'” Kenyan pro-lifers object to Bill Gates' abortion kill pills Kenyan pro-lifers have issued a petition addressed to Kenya's Ministry of Health, complaining of IPAS Africa Alliance's distribution of abortion kill pills throughout the country.   The petition accuses IPAS of breaking Kenya's laws, and flooding schools and pharmacies with the kill pill.   The Citizen Go petition notes that “Kenya's laws protect unborn life, but IPAS is exploiting loopholes. They hand out abortion pills without scans, prescriptions, or medical supervision.” IPAS Africa Alliance is reportedly funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Mexican drug cartel leader pled guilty “Be sure your sins will find you out.” That's what Number 32:23 warns. The founder of the largest drug cartel in the world, Mexican cartel kingpin Isamel “El Mayo” Zambada, pled guilty to federal charges yesterday, reports the Associated Press. He is charged with organizing a drug smuggling operation into the US, called the Sinaloa cartel.   His partner Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was found guilty of similar charges in 2019. The Mexican Sinoloa cartel is known for assassinations, tortures, and kidnappings — terrorizing parts of the southern border areas of Mexico and Texas. Today, first time home purchase costs double rent For the first time in almost 20 years, the price of buying an entry-level home is double the expense of renting. Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, and Phoenix are some of the worst places for unaffordable properties for first-time buyers. 5% of Canadian deaths due to euthanasia Canada's Doctor Assisted Deaths now account for 5% of total deaths for the nation — more than the deaths attributed to diabetes and Alzheimer's combined.   Persons suffering solely from some sort of mental illness will be able to gain state medical help to kill themselves on March 17, 2027. In related news, the United Kingdom Bill on euthanasia has passed the House of Commons, and now has been presented to the House of Lords. United Kingdom legislature to dismiss jail time for violent offenders And finally, the United Kingdom government has come up with a plan to reduce prison overcrowding by dismissing jail time altogether for thousands of sex offenders, drug dealers, and violent criminals. The Sentencing Bill will be considered next month by parliament, reports The Times.  Exodus 22:1  provides God's wisdom in such matters. “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, August 26th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Bolivia despide al MAS

En las elecciones generales de Bolivia del pasado día 17, el Movimiento al Socialismo, el partido de Evo Morales, sufrió el mayor revés de su historia al quedar fuera de la segunda vuelta presidencial programada para el próximo 19 de octubre. El candidato del MAS, Eduardo del Castillo, obtuvo solo el 3% de los votos y quedó en sexto lugar. Los contendientes por la presidencia serán Rodrigo Paz Pereira, un senador centrista que sorprendió con el 32% de los votos, y Jorge Quiroga, expresidente conservador con el 27%. El MAS ha dominado la política boliviana desde 2006, cuando Evo Morales asumió la presidencia con el 53% de los votos. La revalidó en 2009 y 2014 con resultados electorales aún mejores. Inspirado por el chavismo venezolano, Morales quiso emular a su maestro y alineó a Bolivia con regímenes antioccidentales como Venezuela, Nicaragua, Irán y China. Pero la Constitución de 2009, promovida por el propio Morales, limitaba los mandatos presidenciales a dos. Emulando a Hugo Chávez trató de eliminar este límite mediante un referéndum en 2016 que perdió. Aun así, el Tribunal Constitucional, controlado por él, le permitió presentarse en 2019. Las elecciones de ese año estuvieron marcadas por el fraude, que confirmó una auditoría de la OEA. Las protestas obligaron a Morales a marcharse en noviembre de 2019. Tras ello huyó del país y se estableció en Argentina apadrinado por Alberto Fernández. Entretanto, Jeanine Áñez asumió la presidencia interina. Su gestión, en principio de transición, se prolongó debido a la irrupción de la pandemia. Áñez terminó encarcelada por corrupción poco después de las elecciones de 2020 en las que el MAS regresó al poder con Luis Arce, ex ministro de Morales, que obtuvo el 55% de los votos. Pero la relación entre Arce y Morales se deterioró rápidamente, lo que resultó en una fractura interna dentro del MAS. En 2023, el Tribunal Constitucional anuló la reelección indefinida, inhabilitando de paso a Morales, que desde su escondite en la provincia de Chapare, donde está refugiado tras ser acusado de un delito sexual, pidió el voto nulo. Pero en el vuelco electoral ha tenido más que ver con la crisis económica que con la implosión de la izquierda boliviana. El país, que en los primeros años de Morales se benefició de los altos precios del gas natural, atraviesa desde hace años una crisis económica que no ha hecho más que empeorar. La producción de gas se ha reducido a la mitad por simple descuido y falta de inversiones. Del resto se han encargado los controles económicos, la corrupción y la falta de seguridad jurídica que se tradujo en el pasado en expropiaciones a empresas extranjeras, algunas españolas como Abertis o Iberdrola, cuyos activos fueron expropiados entre 2012 y 2013. Eso ha ahuyentado la inversión ahondando los problemas económicos. El resultado es una escasez crónica de divisas. Las reservas del banco central están en mínimos, la inflación ronda el 25%, el déficit público supera el 10% y los bonos son de alto riesgo. Los bolivianos se las ven y se las desean para llenar la cesta de la compra cuyo precio crece sin parar desde hace años. Los candidatos que se disputan la segunda vuelta tendrán que implementar reformas drásticas. Rodrigo Paz promete “capitalismo para todos”, mientras Quiroga aboga por cambiar “absolutamente todo” tras veinte años perdidos. Ambos capitalizan el deseo de cambio de la mayor parte de los bolivianos. La izquierda, entretanto, se enfrenta a una crisis duradera a la que no se le ve final.

The Independent Journalist Covering Immigration Raids In Her Own Community  Earlier this summer, 17-year-old Kevin Robles was in his friend's car driving through their neighborhood in Oceanside when he noticed vehicles with tinted windows and nearby, masked men taking someone out of a red car. He started live streaming on Instagram and it went viral. But then a little over a week later agents with Homeland Security Investigations showed up at his family's home, smashing windows and tossing flash grenades, taking both of his parents into custody. Aisha Wallace Palomares was one of the first journalists to talk to Kevin Robles about what happened.  She is an independent reporter who's covering ICE Raids in her hometown of Escondido, as well as other places around San Diego. She spoke with host Sasha Khokha about covering these raids in her community as an independent journalist.  ⁠⁠Journalists Fleeing Authoritarian Regimes Now at Risk, as Trump Ends Parole Program⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ President Trump is ending a Biden-era humanitarian program that let people from unstable or authoritarian countries come to the United States legally.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, desplegó tres buques de guerra cerca de las costas de Venezuela como parte de sus esfuerzos para combatir el tráfico de drogas. Al menos, así lo asegura una fuente cercana a la operación en el Caribe. Una operación que se produce después de que Nicolás Maduro fuera acusado por Washington de liderar el Cartel de los Soles. La prensa estadounidense publicó que Washington manda a 4.000 marines a la zona. Los operativos militares de Donald Trump en aguas latinoamericanas y del Caribe han encendido las alarmas en una región con un largo historial de intervenciones e invasiones estadounidenses. La presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, defendió el principio de no intervención. Entrevistado por Radio Francia Internacional, Víctor Mijares, profesor de Estudios Globales de la Universidad de los Andes en Colombia, considera que Estados Unidos está enviando un mensaje que corresponde a la llamada 'diplomacia coercitiva o diplomacia violenta'. Analizamos con el experto la situación. . RFI: ¿Hasta dónde se podría pensar que este escenario en el Caribe es el preludio de una nueva invasión de Estados Unidos en América Latina? Víctor Mijares: En primer lugar, esto tiene que ver sobre todo con una operación naval. ¿Hay marines? Sí. Es decir, hay soldados de infantería que son para tierra, pero hasta el momento se mantiene como una operación naval. Es, por supuesto, algo un poco inusual, el volumen y el poder de fuego de estos buques. Pero, claramente, se quiere mandar un mensaje político en cuanto a que Estados Unidos va a seguir y va a volver a tener presencia en el Caribe. En ningún momento se ha hablado de intervención directa a los países, ni siquiera en el caso venezolano. Se ha hablado sobre todo del tema de interdicción y si tomamos en consideración el volumen de marinos y de infantería de Marina que están involucrados en esto, en realidad no alcanza para hacer una invasión. Estamos hablando de 4.000 o 4.500. Y recordemos que, en el 89, cuando se invadió y se ocupó y se derrocó a Noriega en Panamá, llegaron a ser casi 30.000. RFI: ¿No hay capacidad militar suficiente para una intervención? De entrada, no parece haber un volumen suficiente como para una ocupación de un país para hacer un desembarco. Los barcos que están allí tampoco hacen desembarco. Además, tenemos otro precedente. El famoso taco, el Trump ‘always check out', la posibilidad de que Trump siempre se echa para atrás. O sea, que se acobarda o como lo quieras traducir. RFI: La operación incluye marines, Comando Sur y un submarino nuclear, ¿porque un despliegue de tal magnitud para combatir las rutas del narcotráfico en el Mar Caribe? Víctor Mijares: En realidad esto parece ser un despliegue muy grandilocuente, muy exuberante, pero no lo es tanto desde el punto de vista operacional. Esto parece ser parte de lo que tradicionalmente hemos visto en el último año de la administración Trump que está dividida entre sectores petroleros mucho más pragmáticos que se entienden con Nicolás Maduro, que se entienden con cualquiera, con tal de hacer negocios minero energéticos. Y, por otra parte, un sector, cuya cabeza visible sería Marco Rubio, que trata constantemente de mantener agitadas las aguas en función de su base electoral que está principalmente en la Florida, sobre todo en el sur de la Florida. Estoy hablando de cubanos, pero también de colombianos, de venezolanos y otros latinoamericanos que quieren que haya presión militar contra los gobiernos de Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, principalmente, y,en menor medida, Colombia, porque también ven a Gustavo Petro como una amenaza en ese sentido. El mensaje de esta operación militar estadounidense responde a la 'diplomacia coercitiva o diplomacia violenta' que consiste en mandar mensajes muy contundentes dicendo que 'Maduro es un fugitivo de la justicia y que no es el presidente legítimo de Venezuela'; pero, al mismo tiempo, renuevo las licencias y no envío ningún tipo de fuerza de desembarque creible como para lograr un cambio de gobierno.

This Day in Legal History: ABA FormedOn August 21, 1878, 75 lawyers convened in Saratoga Springs, New York, and formally established the American Bar Association (ABA). Their shared aim was to advance the “science of jurisprudence,” promote uniform legislation, strengthen justice administration, uphold the profession's honor, and encourage collegial interaction among lawyers. Their organizing document—the original constitution—still shapes the ABA's mission today.Over time, the ABA became the premier professional association for attorneys in the U.S., influencing national legal education, ethics, and law reform. It introduced the first national ethics code in 1908 (the Canons of Professional Ethics), which eventually evolved into today's Model Rules of Professional Conduct.While the ABA once counted about 400,000 dues-paying members, by the low‑point of 2019, it had lost approximately 56,000 members—a symptom of shifting professional norms and changing perceptions of organizational value. Membership has continued to decline, with figures dropping as low as 227,000 by 2024. In response, the ABA has implemented membership reforms and reduced dues tiers to attract and re-engage lawyers, especially those early in their careers.The American Bar Association's recent actions reflect a mixed record in the face of escalating political pressure—particularly from the Trump administration and its allies. On one hand, the ABA has forcefully resisted efforts to erode legal independence: in 2025, it filed a federal lawsuit accusing the administration of intimidating law firms engaged in politically sensitive representation, and it criticized the DOJ's move to exclude the ABA from vetting judicial nominees as a blow to transparency and professionalism. It also defended its longstanding role in law school accreditation amid efforts to strip that authority.On the other hand, the ABA's decision in August 2025 to eliminate five Board of Governors seats historically reserved for women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and racial minorities marks a notable concession under pressure. The newly adopted policy opens these seats to anyone with a demonstrated commitment to diversity, regardless of their own demographic identity. While proponents framed the shift as a legal safeguard against lawsuits, critics viewed it as a capitulation—especially given the broader political context, including targeted attacks on ABA diversity programs and threats to its accreditation authority. The organization has also paused enforcement of its law school diversity standards until at least 2026.The Justice Department under the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its investigation into gender-affirming care, targeting the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with a sweeping subpoena demanding detailed records—including names and Social Security numbers—of patients who received such treatments. This move is part of a broader campaign to prosecute medical providers offering care to transgender youth, following a directive from Attorney General Pam Bondi to aggressively pursue these cases.The hospital pushed back against the subpoena, calling it an invasive overreach into a vulnerable population's privacy. In response, DOJ took the unusual step of asking the court to unseal the litigation, a departure from standard practice in sensitive investigations where proceedings are typically kept sealed to protect investigatory integrity. The judge sided with the DOJ, opening the docket earlier this month.The subpoena was signed by Brett Shumate, the newly confirmed head of DOJ's civil division, bypassing career officials who had refused to sign similar subpoenas due to ethical and legal concerns. Internal dissent had already emerged, with former officials warning that collecting such data lacked a strong legal basis, especially since off-label prescriptions like puberty blockers are not illegal under federal law.Critics say the investigation appears more performative than prosecutorial, designed to chill gender-affirming care through public pressure rather than build viable legal cases. The Trump administration has also directed other agencies, including HHS and the FTC, to scrutinize these practices, while states like Pennsylvania have filed lawsuits challenging the administration's actions. The outcome of the Philadelphia case, now in front of a federal judge, could shape how far the administration can go in turning gender-related health care into a legal battleground.Justice Department Expands Gender Care Probe as Hospital FightsA recent ruling in the Epic Games v. Apple case has sparked growing concern among corporate legal teams that the boundaries of attorney-client privilege—especially for in-house counsel—are being narrowed in ways that could harm innovation and compliance. The district court found Apple had improperly claimed privilege over documents that mixed legal advice with business guidance, drawing a sharp rebuke that “adding a lawyer's name to a document does not create a privilege.”That finding is now being appealed, with organizations like TechNet and the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) warning that upholding the decision could upend how legal departments operate—particularly in fast-moving sectors like AI and cybersecurity, where legal and business decisions are tightly intertwined. In-house counsel argue they need the flexibility to weigh legal risks within the real-world context of product development, market pressures, and regulatory uncertainty.At issue is the standard used to define privilege. The Ninth Circuit has previously backed the “primary purpose” test, which protects dual-purpose communications if a significant purpose was legal. But the district court's approach appeared more rigid, raising fears that companies will be discouraged from seeking or documenting legal guidance unless they rely on expensive outside counsel.Legal leaders say this shift would disproportionately impact smaller firms and startups already stretched thin. They also point to a broader ambiguity across federal circuits regarding dual-purpose communications, and argue that only a Supreme Court ruling can definitively resolve the inconsistencies.Oral arguments in the appeal are set for October 21.Apple Ruling Raises Business Fear of Legal Privileges ErodingA federal appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to move forward with ending deportation protections and work permits for over 60,000 immigrants from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an unsigned order permitting the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for these groups while legal challenges continue. No legal reasoning was provided in the brief order.The decision lifts an earlier block by a federal district judge, who had ruled that the move was likely driven by racial animus, violating constitutional protections. The new ruling immediately ends protections for Nepali nationals, with protections for Honduran and Nicaraguan immigrants set to expire by September 8.The Department of Homeland Security praised the ruling as a step toward restoring the immigration system's integrity, arguing TPS has been misused as a backdoor form of asylum. Immigrant advocates, meanwhile, condemned the lack of explanation from the court and warned of serious humanitarian consequences for those now facing deportation to unstable regions.The case remains ongoing, but for now, thousands of individuals who have lived and worked legally in the U.S. for years are left in legal limbo.Trump can end deportation protections for 60,000 immigrants, appeals court says | ReutersElon Musk must face a lawsuit alleging he and his political action committee, America PAC, ran an illegal election-year lottery disguised as a $1 million-a-day giveaway. A federal judge in Texas ruled that plaintiff Jacqueline McAferty plausibly claimed Musk misled voters—particularly in battleground states—into signing a petition supporting the U.S. Constitution by offering what appeared to be a random chance at a $1 million prize.McAferty alleges that, in exchange for signing, voters were required to provide personal data—names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails—which she claims was exploited for political targeting. Musk argued that the program was not a lottery because recipients were chosen to “earn” the funds and serve as America PAC spokespeople. But the judge pointed to conflicting language used in promotional materials suggesting the money could be “won,” making it reasonable for voters to think it was a sweepstakes-style contest.Judge Robert Pitman, an Obama appointee, also rejected Musk's argument that voters suffered no harm, noting that expert testimony could establish the market value of political data collected during the promotion.The lawsuit, filed on Election Day 2024, underscores growing concerns over the use of high-dollar giveaways in political campaigning and how voter data is gathered and deployed in swing states. Musk and his PAC have not yet commented on the ruling.Elon Musk must face lawsuit claiming he ran illegal $1 million election lottery | ReutersAnd in a piece I wrote for Forbes earlier this week: the new One Big Beautiful Bill Act revives full expensing for U.S.-based research and development, a policy designed to encourage domestic innovation and hiring. At first glance, it seems like a major win for the tech sector and high-skilled job creation. But the labor market response reveals a deeper issue: you can't stimulate demand for talent without also addressing supply. With immigration pathways constrained and no meaningful expansion of domestic training infrastructure, the policy has triggered a spike in labor costs rather than a boom in innovation.In the absence of new talent pipelines, startups and tech firms are now paying steep premiums to hire U.S.-based engineers, effectively converting the R&D tax break into a subsidy for a tight labor market. Meanwhile, immigration policy remains restrictive, and education-focused workforce solutions aren't being scaled fast enough to meet the moment. The result is a bottleneck: jobs going unfilled, innovation slowing, and companies forced to reconsider hiring or delay projects altogether.The piece argues that while R&D expensing is smart fiscal policy, it only works as part of a broader strategy that includes visa reform, immigration support for high-skilled workers, and real investments in talent development. Without those pieces in place, we're left with a politically appealing tax tweak that, in practice, fails to deliver the innovation surge it promises.Turns Out Research Tax Breaks Alone Can't Conjure Developers This is a public episode.

La Cancillería de Colombia envió una nota diplomática solicitando reconsiderar la decisión, pues González enfrenta imputaciones por cohecho, lavado de activos y peculado.

100 Jewish Brides: Stories from Around the World (Indiana UP, 2024), is the result of a collaboration between two sociologists, Professor Shulamit Reinharz and Dr. Barbara Vinick. Both come from backgrounds deeply intertwined with Jewish history and feminism. Prof. Reinharz, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, became a rabbi's daughter after her father settled in the US. Her work often explores topics of Jewish tradition and women's roles. Dr. Vinick, also a sociologist, initially focused on gerontology but later collaborated with Reinharz on projects exploring Jewish women's experiences worldwide, she hopes this this book can be a respite from the troubles of the world. The book aims to reveal the diversity and depth of traditional and emerging Jewish communities globally, that many readers might not have considered. The editors collected stories from 83 countries on six continents. Each story is either written as a mini-biography or memoir, sometimes by the brides themselves. They made a conscious effort not to reject any stories, regardless of whether they depicted positive or negative experiences. The collection thus includes stories touching on forced marriages, abusive relationships, divorces, and difficult situations. The book is structured to highlight memorable and unique aspects of weddings, such as courtship traditions, betrothal ceremonies, conversions, and customs during wartime. There is a special focus on diversity, including emerging Jewish communities across Africa and Latin America. Among the highlighted stories is a mail-order bride in Mexico who, upon arrival, refused to return home despite not matching her suitor's expectations, eventually resulting in decades of marriage—a testament to the unpredictability and resilience found in these stories. Daisy Aboudi's family in Sudan, a now-extinct Jewish community which found marital partners across the Egyptian border, reveals how Jewish life adapts and persists.  The anthology covers weddings within various strands of Judaism, including a Chabad wedding in Thailand. The betrothal chapter explores customs whose significance has changed over time, including elaborate engagement ceremonies in places like Burma, Nicaragua, and India, where traditions include henna, turmeric, prayers, and communal exchanges. Ariela Tischler's story from Switzerland serves as a link between family heritage and Jewish law. Descended from Rabbi Moshe Isserlis, who decreed it permissible to marry on Lag BaOmer, Ariela and her husband wed on that day, echoing the family tradition established by her grandparents. Personal favorites among the editors' stories include Dr. Vinick's account of attending a group wedding in Madagascar following the conversion of local community members, demonstrating the intersection of ritual, adaptation, and communal joy. Professor Reinharz selected a contemporary Israeli bride, Yael Yafielli, whose feminist and renewal-minded approach prompted her to design a wedding ceremony more aligned with her beliefs and those of her secular partner, rather than conform to the Orthodox rabbinate's expectations. They hope to honor both those who have sustained Judaism in isolated regions and those rebuilding it anew, while also foregrounding Jewish women's voices and experiences. Ultimately, the project is a celebration of Jewish diversity, women's voices, continuity, and ongoing change. Learn more about your ad choices.
