Love him or hate him, you've probably heard of Shabbos Kestenbaum —the Harvard student who made waves with his RNC speech and lawsuit against Harvard over campus antisemitism. In this episode, we go beyond the viral clip. We dig into the Jewish establishment—Hillel, Chabad, ADL, AJC, Federations—what's working, what's broken, and where donors should (and shouldn't) put their money. We also talk about why some Jewish students are drifting right politically, how to build strong Jewish identity without “anti-antisemitism” PowerPoints, and what real campus support looks like.If you care about Jewish life on campus, Israel/Zionism education, and institutional accountability, this one's for you.Timestamps0:00 Intro0:05 The RNC speech everyone saw1:14 “Tonight we fight back” — policy lines that lit up the room2:10 Why Shabbos agreed to come on: a frank look at Jewish orgs3:48 Pluralism vs. clarity: Hillel & Chabad on campus10:51 The “combating antisemitism industrial complex” critique14:25 Building strong Jews vs. anti-antisemitism trainings16:31 Are legacy orgs pivoting—or just protecting access?20:57 “Access culture,” White House invites, and speaking freely23:27 What donors should do now (and what to stop funding)31:00 Where Hillel fits when lines need drawing34:04 Leadership failures and the Claudine Gay moment37:26 Boundaries, inclusion, and campus red lines39:06 The decision to speak at the RNC41:53 Closing inviteWe coverWhy many students (even left-leaning) feel safer with a tougher federal approachThe case for funding local campus work directlyMetrics that actually show impact (beyond emails and galas)Clear red lines on campus without shutting doors to studentsIf you enjoy this convo

Local suicide prevention organizations are trying to fill a gap left by President Trump's policies. Reporter Paul C. Kelly Campos takes us inside a group based in Fall River that's working to provide the care people need.

The Biden administration's covert Operation Arctic Frost targeted nearly 100 conservative groups and is proof that the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism and its Strategic Implementation Plan were used to criminalize political dissent. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes new documents from Senator Chuck Grassley that reveal how a group of FBI and DOJ officials launched and expanded this investigation, possibly to intimidate donors and silence opposition. He also confronts the free-speech hypocrisy and how the hunger for power threatens liberty. This is why we must get back to the principles of limited government.   Episode Highlights How Operation Arctic Frost began and why Grassley's findings point to a weaponized FBI targeting conservative groups and donors. The direct connection between Arctic Frost, the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, and Tulsi Gabbard's declassified Strategic Implementation Plan. Why many are guilty of free-speech hypocrisy, and why only a return to limited government can preserve liberty.

No décimo segundo episódio da série Perfil, o Estudos Medievais recebe a Professora Andréa Doré, da Universidade Federal do Paraná, para falar sobre uma das figuras mais conhecidas do período medieval: o viajante Marco Polo. Neste episódio, discutimos seu trajeto até a China e sua presença na corte de Kublai Khan, assim como a escrita do seu relato de viagem (conhecido como Il Milione, O Livro das Maravilhas ou As viagens de Marco Polo) por Rusticiano de Pisa. Por fim, não deixamos de debater a circulação da obra no continente europeu e sua influência nos navegadores dos séculos posteriores, como Cristóvão Colombo.ParticipantesMarina SanchezAndréa DoréMembros da equipeCecília Silva (edição e ilustração)Diego Pereira (roteiro)⁠⁠Eric Cyon (edição)⁠Gabriel Cordeiro (roteiro)⁠⁠Isabela Silva (roteiro)⁠⁠José Fonseca (roteiro)⁠Marina Sanchez (roteiro)Rafael Bosch (roteiro)⁠⁠Sara Oderdenge (roteiro)Sugestões bibliográficasDORÉ, Andréa.

Startups don't get easier with age—they just get more complex. Much like teenagers, scale-ups are constantly outgrowing their structures, still figuring out their identity, and not always great at setting realistic goals. But this awkward “in-between” stage isn't a failure—it's a rite of passage on the path to becoming a mature company.In this episode, Hannah sits down with Matt Wensing, Head of Product and Design at Customer.io, who has seen scaling from nearly every angle: founder, product leader, and now executive. Matt shares how to bridge the gap between lofty strategy and day-to-day execution, why your org's real capacity is often higher than you think, and how to turn constant experimentation from chaos into sustainable growth.Resources from this episode:Subscribe to The Product Manager newsletterConnect with Matthew on LinkedInCheck out Customer.io and Matthew's website

The Trump administration has unveiled a new AI action plan that emphasizes deregulation and the promotion of American AI exports, raising concerns among regulated industries. The initiative aims to foster American leadership in the AI sector by reducing environmental regulations for data centers and advocating for the export of AI technologies. However, the plan lacks specific details on how to establish global alliances or enforce export restrictions effectively, leading to uncertainty for businesses operating in regulated environments. This shift away from oversight marks a significant departure from the previous administration's safety standards for AI technology.Recent research has revealed alarming findings regarding AI training data, indicating that even seemingly safe datasets can lead to harmful AI outputs. A study conducted by Truthful AI and the Anthropic Fellows Program demonstrated that models trained on benign data could still develop undesirable behaviors, such as endorsing violence. This phenomenon, termed subliminal learning, raises questions about the reliability of synthetic data in AI training, especially as projections suggest that synthetic data may soon surpass real data in AI models.The podcast also discusses the impact of AI-generated summaries on online news traffic, with some websites experiencing a dramatic decline in click-through rates. Research indicates that sites ranked first in search results could see traffic drop by nearly 80% if their links appear below AI-generated summaries. This trend has sparked concerns among media owners, who view it as a potential existential threat to their operations, prompting calls for regulatory action to address the challenges posed by AI in the news industry.Finally, the episode highlights the rapid adoption of virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services among managed service providers, driven by the integration of AI technologies. A report reveals a 300% increase in vCISO adoption, with many providers experiencing significant reductions in workload and labor time due to AI. This shift indicates a growing demand for scalable and efficient cybersecurity solutions, but it also raises concerns about commoditization in the market, emphasizing the need for differentiation and strategic insight in service offerings. Four things to know today 00:00 “America First” Meets A.I.: Trump's Action Plan Prioritizes Deregulation, Exports, and Ideological Scrutiny03:23 AI Gone Wrong: Subliminal Learning, Search Traffic Collapse, and Academic Manipulation Underscore Oversight Gap07:28 vCISO Adoption Surges 300% as AI Transforms Cybersecurity Into a Scalable Growth Strategy09:34 SharePoint Exploit Breaches 400+ Orgs, Including U.S. Nuclear Agency, in Ongoing Zero-Day Attack Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/  Tell us about a newsletter!https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Family, this is your favorite queer radio personality Anna DeShawn and you're listening to Queer News, your weekly pod where race & sexuality meet politics, culture, and entertainment. Only on E3 Radio. This week, I'm coming to you with a heart full of gratitude and a story full of hope. Amidst a chaotic week caring for my family, a bright moment stopped me in my tracks: Lambda Legal won a massive legal victory that restored $6.2 million in funding to LGBTQ+ and HIV organizations. I knew we had to talk about it. So I sat down with Jose Abrigo, Lambda's HIV Project Director, to break it all down. Because even when the world feels heavy, there's still good news worth celebrating. Want to support this podcast?

A new or growing SRE team. A copy of the book. A company that says it cares about reliability. What happens next? Usually… not much.In this episode, I sit down with Dave O'Connor, a 16-year Google SRE veteran, to talk about what happens when organizations cargo-cult reliability practices without understanding the context they were born in.You might know him for his self-deprecating wit and legendary USENIX blurb about being “complicit in the development of the SRE function.”This one's a treat — less “here's a shiny new tool” and more “here's what reliability actually looks like when you've seen it all.”✨ No vendor plugs from Dave at all, just a good old-fashioned chat about what works and what doesn't.Here's what we dive into:* The adoption trap: Why SRE efforts often fail before they begin—especially when new hires care more about reliability than the org ever intended.* The SRE book dilemma: Dave's take on why following the SRE book chapter-by-chapter is a trap for most companies (and what to do instead).* The cost of “caring too much”: How engineers burn out trying to force reliability into places it was never funded to live.* You build it, you run it (but should you?): Not everyone's cut out for incident command—and why pretending otherwise sets teams up to fail.* Buying vs. building: The real reason even conservative enterprises are turning into software shops — and the reliability nightmare that follows.We also discuss the evolving role of reliability in organizations today, from being mistaken for “just ops” to becoming a strategic investment (when done right).Dave's seen the waves come and go in SRE — and he's still optimistic. That alone is worth a listen. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit read.srepath.com

In this unfiltered episode of The E1B2 Collective, I talk about something too many revenue leaders miss: career mapping for AEs who don't fit the traditional mold. Not every seller is a closer—but that doesn't mean they aren't valuable. Some build trust. Some extend customer lifetime value. Some become the bridge to new markets, new partners, and long-term growth.I've seen too many talented AEs mismanaged, undervalued, and pushed out because they didn't meet a narrow definition of success. This episode is a call to rethink how we design sales orgs—with learning academies, better mentorship, and room for real human contribution beyond the number.

In a year marked by tighter budgets, leaner teams, and growing uncertainty, more organizations than ever are choosing to go it alone. DIY transformation feels safer, cheaper, more in control. But that instinct to do more with less is often the very thing that stalls progress. Because without the right structure, support, and space, most internal change efforts don't just slow down… they spin out. This week, Rodney and Sam pull apart the decision to “DIY” major organizational change. They explore why so many teams default to doing it themselves, what makes internal transformation efforts so hard to sustain, and the subtle power dynamics that turn strategic remits into order-taking. Along the way, they dig into what it really takes to get change moving—from alone on the inside or with a partner. -------------------------------- Let's work together: ⁠https://www.theready.com/working-together⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠.

(The Center Square) – Despite the White House's assertions that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will not add to the federal debt or deficit, four independent budget watchdogs agree that debt growth will accelerate and reach over $50 trillion by 2034, if the policy megabill becomes law. As emphasized Friday by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the Budget Lab at Yale predicts $52.3 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office predicts $52.4 trillion, the Tax Foundation predicts $52.8 trillion, and the Penn Wharton Budget Model predicts $56.3 trillion as the national debt number a decade from now.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_ed152061-1ef3-4f3c-906d-dca9690ee42c.html

In Document 361, filed on May 27, 2025, federal prosecutors strongly opposed a request by news organizations to unseal sexually explicit video and photographic exhibits introduced in the criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The government argued that public disclosure of this material would inflict serious harm on the alleged victims—identified in court as Cassie Ventura and Jane Doe—both of whom were reportedly recorded without their consent during acts they claim were coerced. The government emphasized that these recordings were allegedly used by Combs as tools of blackmail and psychological control, and that releasing them—even to a limited audience—would risk retraumatizing the victims and effectively extend the abuse they endured.The filing further underscored that public access to these exhibits is neither necessary nor appropriate given the sensitive nature of the evidence. Prosecutors asserted that permitting open access would violate the victims' right to privacy and could chill future victims of sexual abuse from coming forward. They reassured the court that transparency would still be preserved through live testimony and verbal descriptions of the exhibits in open court, ensuring the public remains informed without compromising the victims' dignity or safety. Sealing the exhibits, they argued, is a narrowly tailored and essential measure to balance the public interest with the need to protect vulnerable individuals participating in the judicial process.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.361.0.pdf

On Thursday's show: Another one bites the dust in the decimated Astros pitching rotation. This time it's Ronel Blanco who's out for the season and in need of elbow surgery. Is it past time to ask what the Astros are doing to their pitchers' arms? Jeff Balke of the Bleav in Astros podcast talks it over.Also this hour: The National Endowment for the Arts recently terminated grants to nonprofits nationwide, many of which had already been awarded. Houston arts organizations are among those who have had to pivot after losing money they were counting on. We hear from a pair of them.Then, we hear the story of a Houston woman trying to negotiate red tape to gain access to an apartment she can afford. It doesn't work. We discuss why and what can be done about it.And, from Pint of Science to Nerd Nite to Brains in a Bar and Philosophically Drinking, there are many longstanding Houston-area events and programs based at local bars designed to engage Houstonians' minds (and not just douse them in alcohol). We learn more about some of them.

Despite being a sector dominated by women, nonprofit leadership remains disproportionately male. In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria Rio sits down with Caitlin McBride to unpack the gender gap at the top. They dig into everything from the “motherhood penalty” vs. the “fatherhood bonus,” to sneaky internalized biases and straight-up structural BS. Just because our sector talks about equity, doesn't mean we're actually living it. Whether you're climbing the ladder, job hunting, or just trying to survive nonprofit life as a woman or gender-diverse human, this episode will leave you fired up, inspired, and feeling a little less alone. Nonprofit Leadership & Gender Equity – The Highlights: Women are the backbone of the nonprofit workforce - but still left out of leadership: Despite making up 80% of the sector, women hold less than half of executive roles - and even fewer in larger organizations. The world treats women's time as infinite and men's as precious: Women are expected to “figure it out” at work and home: juggling unpaid labor, emotional caretaking, and their careers without complaint. Women are underpaid and undervalued:  Orgs justify low salaries by pointing to women's partners' incomes, reinforcing harmful assumptions. Green flags to look out for: From tampon access in bathrooms to child-friendly meeting times, true inclusion is in the details. Does the org walk their equity talk? Representation alone isn't enough if power dynamics remain unchanged.
