RANDOM ATTACKS TAKE PLACE IN MULTIPLE RECREATIONAL AREAS AROUND THE USA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Global: Around the world, the push for more censorship and a reduction of privacy continues to grow in size and scope. In the United Kingdom, politicians have called for an expansion of the Online Safety act to include generic search engines such as Google. Following the implementation of the Online Safety Act, several other EU member states have also voiced their support for similar efforts in their nations, which include: Italy, Greece, Denmark, Spain, and France.Germany: Outrage has resulted from a recent push in Bavaria to tax groundwater. As of January 1, 2026, residents of the region will be taxed 10 cents per cubic meter of groundwater that is pumped out of the ground on one's own property.Analyst Comment: Once various entities around the world realize that this tax will just result in general discontent, and not an outright open rebellion, this tactic will expand greatly to be utilized by other nations.Ireland: New footage has come to light regarding an Islamic terror attack that took place in Dublin on Tuesday. The video of the attack confirms that the assailant shouted Islamic phrases during the attack, in which he approached a police officer from behind, stabbing him with a large knife.Analyst Comment: Continuing the trend of European media, all references to this attack strategically omitted all references to terrorism, with all media groups calling this incident an "unprovoked attack" and protecting the identity of the terrorist. This half-truth omits the detail that the individual was attempting to commit an act of jihad.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Various trade deals remain in development with the White House granting Mexico an extension regarding the implementation of a deal with the United States. South Korea also finalized their re-negotiation of trade policy with the United States yesterday.North Carolina: A shooting was reported at the Avalon Fishing Pier in Kill Devil Hills this afternoon. One person was killed and another wounded during the engagement, with the shooter egressing from the area before being immediately captured nearby. No further details have been provided on this shooting, or what prompted the incident in what is normally a low-crime area.Colorado: This afternoon an ICE-involved shooting was reported in the Black Forest area near Colorado Springs. Federal authorities state that immigration enforcement operations were underway throughout the area this afternoon, when two illegals in a vehicle attempted to ram an officer while trying to escape the scene. One agent engaged the vehicle with small arms, which was later abandoned by the assailants. The status of the illegals remains unknown, and a significant police presence has been noted throughout the area.Georgia: Four people have been arrested for an attack that took place at the Low Gap Campground last weekend, and more details pertaining to the case have also come to light. A man and his daughter were fishing when four individuals hit him over the head with a glass bottle, knocking him unconscious and causing severe bleeding. The man's daughter was also attacked, but managed to stab her attackers with her knife, causing the attackers to flee.Arkansas: An assailant has been arrested in conjunction with a double-homicide investigation at  Devil's Den State Park, following the discovery of the remains of two hikers on a trail in the park on Saturday. The attacker has been identified as Andrew James McGann, who was arrested today after confessing to the murders.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: These attacks are an unfortunate reminder

Rosalia Rivera, a fervent Founder and Co-Founder for Consent Parenting and Brave Movement.org joins us to dissect the multifaceted challenges of raising children in a tech-saturated era. Together, we discuss the urgent issue of online harm regarding the lack of tech transparency of CSAM, (Child Sexual Abuse Material) sexploitation of teens and youth being targets through online apps, social media platforms and online gaming. By describing the internet and the app store to a bustling mall that kids can actively browse and instantly download, without any age gating or device age regulation, we underscore the need for parental vigilance and legislative measures like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) to shield our youth from unintended digital dangers and predatory harms. Our conversation emphasizes the critical role parents, our communities and our non-profits continue to advocate for tech KOSA policy, which was a supported issue by both parties of Congress in 2024, but has since been sidelined. However, with the proliferation of AI Sexual Content on the rise, KOSA and AI safety regulation need to be that play a vital role in the digital landscape as we are moving faster into the AI stratosphere. As we both do support technology as critical tools to help our daily lives, we turn our attention to the innovative technologies and organizations dedicated to child safety, such as BARK PHONES, THORN and HEAT. Companies like Bark and Pinwheel offer phone solutions alternatives for monitoring digital interactions, while organizations such as Thorne, Heat and Child Rescue Coalition work tirelessly to combat child exploitation. The discussion pivots to our own tech habits and the powerful influence they wield on our children. By advocating for mindful technology use and supporting companies that prioritize child safety, we encourage listeners to take an active role in shaping a safer digital future for all. Join us on Latinas from the Block to the Boardroom as we champion a proactive approach to technology, empowering parents and particularly women of color, in these essential conversations.

Send us a textOkay, let's talk about the thing that is straight-up hijacking our homes right now: screens. If you've ever shouted, “Get off your phone!” at your kid while... checking your own email for the 50th time that hour? Yep, same. That's why I brought on the brilliant, passionate, and hilariously relatable Emily Cherkin, also known as The Screen Time Consultant.Emily is a former middle school teacher turned full-time tech-intentional parenting badass. She's worked with families, schools, and even policymakers and has been quoted by CHUCK NORRIS, for crying out loud. But what really hit me? She gets it. She gets the emotional labor, the mom guilt, the struggle between “don't rot your brain” and “I just need 20 minutes of quiet to make dinner.”In this episode, Emily unpacks why screen time is actually a symptom, not the root problem; why parental controls are basically the IKEA instructions of tech parenting (look good on paper, don't really work); and how to shift our whole approach without going full “live in the woods with no WiFi” extreme.Also, fair warning: You will leave this conversation questioning the idea that your kid needs a phone “just in case they get kidnapped.” (Spoiler: statistically… no.)If you've ever handed over a screen and then immediately felt like a failure, or had a deep desire to yeet your kid's iPad into a lake, this episode is your new therapy. No judgment, no shame. Just some straight-up truth bombs and actual strategies that make sense in the real world.What's Inside: Why screens aren't the real issue, and what's actually going onThe sneaky ways screen time is hijacking relationships, not just attention spansWhy fear-based parenting (hello, Stranger Danger) is totally messing with our decisionsHow to build real-life skills in your kids before handing over the techFeeling overwhelmed and wondering if it's even possible to raise decent humans in a world full of TikTok and YouTube Shorts? You are not alone.This conversation is your reminder that you don't have to go full Amish to protect your kid's brain. Let's talk about what's working (and what's making you want to scream into a pillow). DM me on Instagram @oonaghduncan and let's swap screen-time war stories. Seriously. I want to hear what's happening at your house.Mentioned In This Episode:Emily Cherkin's book: The Screen Time SolutionLet Grow Movement, Lenore Skenazy's work on childhood independenceThe Light Phone (a non-smartphone alternative)Emily's WebsiteSocial Media Victims Law CenterFollow Emily on Instagram @thescreentimeconsultantOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

A new wave of age-verification laws for app stores and internet services like social media have been proposed at both state and federal levels. These laws raise pressing constitutional concerns about privacy, free speech, and the proper role of government in regulating online behavior. The Supreme Court decided Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, a pivotal case challenging a requirement that users verify their age, such as by uploading government-issued identification, to access online adult content. While well-meaning adults may want to protect young people from certain harms both online and off, these proposals could also threaten to chill lawful speech, compromise privacy, and set dangerous precedents. Requiring age verification for online content could open the door to broader government controls over political speech and dissent. These burdens are felt not only by “Big Tech” but also by smaller companies that may be providing services for more specific communities. Furthermore, it's unclear if these proposals will actually improve online safety. Are there alternative approaches that can balance the concerns of parents with the freedoms of users of all ages and the benefits of innovation? How should courts, policymakers, and parents weigh the potential trade-offs between the benefits and risks for kids and teens online? This event will explore the legal, technological, and ethical implications of age-verification laws. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Are you a seasoned human aged 60 plus and and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the rapid pace of new technology, especially AI? Perhaps you've even watched videos suggesting that Artificial Intelligence might soon wipe away humanity, leaving you with a sense that this is the end. Rest assured, those anxieties are common, and this episode is designed to help you navigate them. We'll dive into your biggest concerns, from worries about losing control and the sheer complexity of new tech, to very real fears about losing privacy and the increasing risks of security threats like deepfakes. I am incredibly excited to be joined by Nicole Valentine, an attorney and Fintech Director at the Milken Institute. The Milken Institute is a respected nonprofit think tank dedicated to accelerating global progress by connecting leaders and resources to solve critical challenges in finance, health, and philanthropy. Nicole brings her extensive experience in technology and innovation, offering insights in a wonderfully friendly and reassuring way. She offers a truly refreshing perspective that can significantly reduce your anxieties. In our conversation, she will show you that by simply exploring AI and understanding its actual capabilities—much like you would with familiar tools you already use, such as Apple's Siri, which is a form of AI—you can begin to feel more comfortable.  Did you know that the concept of Artificial Intelligence isn't new at all? The term itself was coined way back in the 1940s, and we as a society have been utilizing simpler, and then increasingly complex, versions of AI for many decades. Now, with computers becoming exponentially more powerful, AI can leverage well-developed language models, benefiting nearly all sectors of society.  Imagine what you can do when you have a free, 24/7 assistant at your fingertips—one that can translate most languages, write and edit text for you, organize your appointments and photos, compile your medical history to suggest personalized recipe ideas and exercise regimes, play chess with you,  organize and book a cheaper trip and so much more!  Nicole will discuss the vital mindset shifts needed to gracefully navigate this evolving digital landscape, ultimately showing how understanding new tech is key to building a more inclusive and secure future for everyone. The way to win here is to get quality information so we can understand what we are dealing with. If you have any concerns with AI invading your life, feel free to contact me to ask for an episode on specific fears you have soI can find the best guests to help you.   I am dedicated to help you to create the life that you want.   Topics covered: AI for seniors, tech concerns, older adults, technology fear, digital literacy, privacy issues, AI scams, online safety, losing control over tech, digital divide, navigating AI for seniors   If you want to go deepr, Nicole has provided the links below:        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-BgkPetRM&t=26s             https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMpuSDWT2oU  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT8-KPAjpiA&t=20s        https://milkeninstitute.org/content-hub/news-releases/new-milken-institute-report-details-roadmap-guide-ai-research-neurodegenerative-diseases      https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2025/04/03/how-the-us-public-and-ai-experts-view-artificial-intelligence/                                                                                                                                       https://www.amazon.com/AI-First-Company-Compete-Artificial-Intelligence/dp/0593330315                                                                                                          https://www.ibm.com/products/blog/from-checkers-to-chess-a-brief-history-of-ibm-ai   Did you enjoy this episode and would like to share some love?

Here's a term that I just heard that all of us must be aware of: “surveillance capitalism”. The term and the practice is one that is especially prominent in our current online digital age. Simply stated, surveillance capitalism is about monitoring people's online behavior, including that of our kids, in order to capture data about one's preferences and habits in order to take that data and use it to target that person with carefully curated marketing and advertising, all in the name of getting that person to buy, buy, and buy some more. The data that's collected is personal info, personal interests, the websites you visit, and your social preferences and lifestyle habits. Recently, Facebook was accused of tracking when adolescent girls deleted their selfies. Believing that these girls were emotionally vulnerable in that moment, Facebook then fed them a beauty ad. All marketing targets our hopes for redemption. Help your kids see that buying stuff doesn't meet their need for Jesus.

Welcome back to my new series Free Speech Friday! :) Right now, lawmakers in congress are trying to pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a dangerous censorship bill that would give the government unprecedented control over the internet and force platforms to spy on youth.KOSA claims to make kids "safer" online, but don't let the name fool you. This law would give the government unprecedented power to censor speech across the entire internet in the name of "protecting kids."From mental health support communities to LGBTQ forums, KOSA endangers the very spaces young people turn to for help, identity, and connection. KOSA isn't about safety, it's about giving the government unprecedented control over speech. Ari Cohen is the Lead Counsel for Tech Policy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and promoting free speech rights for all Americans. He joined me to break down KOSA and explain the many problems with the proposed law. If you believe in a free and open internet, please join me in sending a message to your lawmakers right now and tell them to reject KOSA:https://www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/censorship-wont-make-kids-safe***** Buy a subscription to my Tech and Online Culture newsletter, User Magazine to support my work!!
