Rescuers in Venezuela are racing to reach thousands still missing after two powerful earthquakes struck seconds apart, with at least 235 people confirmed dead, hundreds still trapped, and U.S. search teams now heading to help. The Supreme Court handed President Trump two big immigration wins, clearing the way for his administration to strip legal status from hundreds of thousands of immigrants and making it harder for migrants to claim asylum at the border. And President Trump is trying to win back farmers hurt by his own tariffs and the Iran war, dangling 11 billion dollars in new aid even as many in farm country say they'd rather have good profits than government checks.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

 You try to help, and somehow you become the enemy. You explain your feelings, and suddenly you're the one being blamed. These aren't random relationship failures — you're cycling through Karpman's Drama Triangle, and until you recognize the pattern, you'll keep fighting the same battles with different people. Psychotherapist and Jungian analyst Gary Trosclair breaks down the three archetypal roles — Rescuer, Victim, and Persecutor — how they show up in the driven, compulsive personality, and five practical steps to step out of the triangle for good.

When my wife and I would drive somewhere, we didn't lose any time when she drove. In fact, we set some records. Once we were on a trip and I was preparing for the meetings we were going to, she was driving down this four-lane, divided highway. I was looking down. All of a sudden, I looked up and I saw orange plastic cones on the middle line that divides the two lanes on our side. And as I looked, every vehicle but one was moving into the left lane, to the left of the cones. You notice I said everyone but one. Yeah, that was us. My wife continued in the right lane, and I said, “Honey, what are you doing? Looks like this lane is closing.” She said, “Just watch.” Well, we passed a line of cars on our left, with a big truck at the head of it. See, that truck had moved into the left lane, and all the other cars said, “Oh, that must be the lane to be in.” The problem was that the truck that they were following was taking equipment to a big tar truck parked in the left lane, so we waved as we zipped by all those cars as they were heading for an unpleasant surprise. I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about “Wrong About God.” Now, our word for today from the Word of God. We're in Proverbs 14:12. It's short, but it's hard-hitting. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, it leads to death.” The Bible's pretty clear here. A lot of people are on a road that looks good, but it's going nowhere. Jesus talked about that in Matthew 7:13-14, when He said, “Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it; but small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” See, a lot of people are wrong about the one thing you can't afford to be wrong about—God, and how to get to Him. If you're wrong about God, it's fatal forever. Maybe you're someone who might be on a sincere road that seems very right, but that ends far away from God forever instead of with Him forever. Only God can tell us how to get to Him, and He does in John 14:6. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Me.” In 1 John 5:11-12 it says, “There is life in God's Son, and he that has the Son has life. He that does not have the Son of God does not have life.” So, question: Do you have the Son of God in your heart? This bothers a lot of people that Jesus is the only way. You say, “Well, I believe in tolerance. As long as we're sincere.” Well, if you're trapped in a burning building, and a firefighter risks his life to bring you out, I don't think you say, “Hey, wait, there's only one way out of here? Are you kidding?” No, you grab that rescuer and you say, “Thank God there's a way.” Well, thank God there is one way. There wasn't any way until one Savior came and paid the price for our sin. Sin has a death penalty. The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death.” Someone's got to die for my sin to be paid for. No good works, no matter what faith they're from, can pay that death penalty. Romans 5:8 says, “God proved His love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” If you haven't pinned all your hopes on Jesus to be your Rescuer, you're still on the road that leads to death. That's why everything, now and forever, depends on what you do with God's Son, Jesus. This could be the day when you make this Jesus your Rescuer from your sin if you would just tell Him, “Jesus, I get it. You died on that cross for me. I'm Yours.” Would you please go to our website and just find there the information you need to get this relationship with Jesus going? It's ANewStory.com. Only one lane gets you to God. Only one lane gets you to heaven. It's the road that goes by the cross where Jesus died to pay for your sin.

Two women were swept away in rough waters in California after being carried out to sea while sleeping on the beach when the tide came in. Rescuers were unable to reach them on time. And there was nothing more deafening than the sounds of Knicks fans screaming for joy after their big win. One woman's joyful screams were mistaken for distress, leading to the death of a family dog. Plus, five suspects have been arrested for allegedly plotting to detonate drone bombs near the UFC event at the White House on Sunday, a plan that, if successful, would have forced an evacuation and sent 100,000 spectators running into the path of snipers. As Ann Mercogliano reports, federal authorities say they were able to stop the attack in time. And shock continues after a woman died while bungee jumping because she was never attached to the cord. Three workers from that jump site were arrested and charged with homicide. We are now learning that one of the suspects has a history of what many are calling “reckless jumps.”

Have you ever felt undeniably stuck in a situation where you couldn't work, fight, or buy your way out? In this message, Amanda continues our Echoes series by exploring the powerful connection between the Exodus story and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. By looking at the Passover lamb as a foreshadowing of Christ, we discover that just as God moved to rescue His people from physical slavery in Egypt, He has provided the ultimate way out for us today. Discover how Jesus acts as our final Passover Lamb and the Rescuer who rips the prison doors off their hinges, offering us true freedom from the patterns, shame, and fear that keep us trapped.

I tider av politisk oro ropas det ofta på mer historieundervisning i skolorna. Men vägen till ett bättre samhälle är en annan, skriver Eva-Lotta Hultén. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2017-10-12.–Lyd inte i förväg.–Håll yrkesetiken högt.–Akta dig för paramilitärer.När Donald Trump vann det amerikanska presidentvalet 2016 satte sig historieprofessorn Timothy Snyder och skrev pamfletten ”Om tyranni. Tjugo lärdomar från tjugonde århundradet”. Uppmaningarna jag inledde med är några av rubrikerna i boken, som är skriven till ett du, i ett land vars demokratiska berggrund börjat vittra. Trump nämns då och då, men de tjugo uppmaningarna är relevanta överallt där antidemokratiska krafter hotar.I politiskt instabila och hotfulla tider kommer ropen på mer historieundervisning i skolornaReferenserna till andra världskriget är många, liksom till kommunistdiktaturerna i de forna östländerna. Timothy Snyder varnar bland annat för att tolka demagogers utsagor välvilligt: säger de att de tänker underminera de demokratiska institutionerna eller krossa mediefriheten så är det just vad de kommer att göra. Börjar de avhumanisera och hota grupper av människor så finns det ingen anledning att tro att de egentligen menar något annat.I politiskt instabila och hotfulla tider kommer ropen på mer historieundervisning i skolorna och mer historisk kunskap bland politiker och allmänhet. Med bättre vetskap om hur illa det gått förr ska insikter komma om vilken farlig väg fascism, nazism, rasism eller kommunism är och vi ska börja gör motstånd. Men fungerar det verkligen? Gör en tankeövning: Är det brist på historiekunskaper som får nazister att hata judar? Skulle de hata mindre om de fick mer kunskaper om förintelsen?Filosofen Friedrich Hegel sa att av historien lär vi att vi inget lär av historien. En klatschigt cynisk formulering som fått stor spridning. Massor av människor har förvisso med historiekunskaper fått nya insikter om både det ena och det andra men det Hegel avsåg att säga var naturligtvis att kunskap om vad som hänt förr inte räcker som vaccin mot att låta dåliga saker ske igen.Vi måste inte bara förstå hur ett totalitärt samhälle växer fram, vi måste också ha värderingar som säger oss att förtryck och utnyttjande av andra är fel, och vi behöver förmåga att se vad det är som händer medan det händer. Historien upprepar sig nämligen aldrig exakt, vilket gör att vi alltid, som en försvarsmekanism, kan klamra oss fast vid skillnaderna som räddningsplankor eller ursäkter för att blunda.Både Snyder och Sharp pekar på de små gesternas och handlingarnas betydelse: att säga nej när någon i maktställning begär något omoraliskt av oss...Utöver humanistiska värderingar och klarsynthet behöver vi förmåga, civilkurage och självförtroende nog att tänka och handla självständigt. I en stor studie intervjuade de båda forskarna Samuel Oliner och Pearl Oliner hundratals personer som räddat judar under andra världskriget. De visade att många som ingriper och hjälper andra har gemensamma drag: stark medkänsla och förmåga att känna samhörighet med alla sorters människor, ansvarskänsla, känsla för rättvisa och förmåga att se hur de själva kan påverka. De hade vuxit upp med föräldrar som agerat goda förebilder och framhållit värdet av empati och engagemang snarare än av prestationer. Föräldrarna hade resonerat kring rätt och fel, sällan eller aldrig straffat sina barn och uppmärksammat dem på vad som händer i omvärlden och på de orättvisor som drabbade vissa grupper av människor.Allt detta går att åstadkomma också inom skolans ramar. Filosofen Stephen Law har i boken ”The war for childrens minds” visat hur man kan lära barn självständigt tänkande och handlade genom att i gruppdiskussioner träna sådant som att avslöja och ifrågasätta det som tas för givet, upptäcka och diagnosticera felaktiga slutledningar, uttrycka åsikter klart och koncist, se saker ur andras synvinkel och ifrågasätta sina egna känslor eller det rätta i att agera utifrån dem. Socialpsykologen Ervin Staub har i sin tur gjort en rad experiment som visar på betydelsen av foten-i-dörren-fenomenet. Den som en gång börjat hjälpa andra fortsätter. Får vi alltså, genom skolan eller arbetsplatsen, smak för att förbättra livet för andra så är chansen mycket stor att vi sedan fortsätter av egen kraft.Timothy Snyders pamflett påminner mig om en annan professors skrift, statsvetaren Gene Sharps ”From dictatorship to democracy”, där han med utgångspunkt i ett helt livs forskning om totalitära system, motstånd och icke-våld beskriver hur man bäst kan omvandla en diktatur till en demokrati. Liksom Snyder kombinerar han, på det mest sympatiska vis, djupa och vida kunskaper i historia med ett humanistiskt patos och ett uppfordrande tilltal.Gene Sharps bok skrevs på efterfrågan av dissidenter i Burma på 90-talet men eftersom Sharp inte kände till de specifika omständigheterna just där, skrev han en så allmänt hållen bok att den kommit att användas i många, vitt skilda, länder sedan dess. Gene Sharp förklarar att användning av våld är att möta övermakten där den är som starkast, och därmed riskera stora förluster till ingen nytta, eller i värsta fall med ännu större repression som följd. Skulle man trots allt vinna är våldet sedan ofta inbyggt också i den nya maktens regim. Underminera i stället makten genom aktivism, uppbyggnad av alternativa, demokratiska organisationer, civil olydnad och samarbete med andra olydiga och planera maktskiftet noga, uppmuntrar Sharp. Både Snyder och Sharp pekar på de små gesternas och handlingarnas betydelse: att säga nej när någon i maktställning begär något omoraliskt av oss, att se andra i ögonen och visa välvilja, att uppmuntra andra som kanske är modigare eller att bära en symbol för motstånd på sina kläder.De historiekunskaper som verkligen betyder något när världen gungar är de berättelser som hjälper oss att tolka det som skerHistoria är ett viktigt ämne – men den tro som finns på historiekunskaper i sig som frälsning från förtryck, krig, folkmord eller odemokratiskt styre är felaktig. Inte ens historieprofessorn Timothy Snyder själv tycks ha kunnat dra nytta av sina kunskaper när det verkligen gällde. I baksidestexten till hans bok kan man läsa att han var övertygad om att USA skulle välja Hillary Clinton till president. Han missade alltså de tecken som pekade åt ett annat håll. Kanske på grund av önsketänkande. Vi människor är ju inte rationella, vi gör oss själva blinda för saker vi inte vill se. Det gäller historieprofessorer såväl som alla andra.Det går alldeles utmärkt att tänka sig en människa helt utan kunskaper i historia, som utifrån humanistiska värderingar, uppövad handlingsförmåga och kunskaper i psykologi framgångsrikt tar upp kampen mot förtryck och våld. Det går lika bra att föreställa sig en spränglärd historieprofessor som missar att agera när det verkligen gäller.De historiekunskaper som verkligen betyder något när världen gungar är de berättelser som hjälper oss att tolka det som sker och lär oss förstå hur det mänskliga psyket fungerar, och i alla tider har fungerat under tryck från auktoritära eller suggestiva och antidemokratiska ledare; då vi kommer i nya och okända situationer eller då vi hamnar i sammanslutningar som utvecklar ett starkt och destruktivt grupptänkande. Allra viktigast är den historia som ger oss exempel på hur man framgångsrikt kan göra motstånd och hjälpa utsatta medmänniskor. Bara så blir historiekunskaper ett skydd mot de krafter som vill underminera demokratin.Eva-Lotta Hultén, journalist och författare LitteraturTimothy Snyder, Om tyranni.
