Georgians went to the polls in record numbers during the May 24 primary ahead of the crucial 2022 midterm elections, despite renewed GOP efforts to suppress the votes of the state's communities of color. Passed in the wake of the 2020 elections, inspired in large part by former President Trump's baseless claims of election fraud, Georgia's SB 202 (the Election Integrity Act of 2021) is perhaps the most egregious example of Republicans' nationwide efforts to roll back voting rights through a flurry of restrictive voting laws. Such laws disproportionately impact people in low-income communities and communities of color, and they are being passed at a moment when the power of communities of color to shape election outcomes is rapidly increasing. Case in point: Georgia's Latinx community has grown by 30% over the past decade and now comprises 10% of the state's population. In this on-the-ground report for our special series “Defending Democracy in the 2022 Midterm Elections,” TRNN's Jaisal Noor and Jeffrey Moustache speak with organizers from the Georgia Alliance of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO), an advocacy group that helps Latinx voters unlock their political power, about how they are working to “out-organize voter suppression” by mobilizing and empowering the state's Latinx community.Read the transcript of this report: https://therealnews.com/how-georgias-latinx-community-is-working-to-out-organize-voter-suppressionPre-Production/Studio: Jaisal Noor, Jeffrey MoustachePost-Production: Jaisal Noor, Jeffrey Moustache, Cameron GranadinoThis story is part of a series that was made possible with the support of the Solutions Journalism Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rigorous and compelling reporting about responses to social problems.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Last year, Florida and Texas passed draconian social media speech regulations. Each law violates the First Amendment, and, not surprisingly, each was blocked by a federal trial court. On appeal, however, things got weird. Although one appellate court affirmed most of the ruling against Florida's law (SB 7072), another let Texas's (HB 20) go into immediate effect. In an emergency order, the Supreme Court re-blocked the Texas law—for now. A further ruling by the justices, probably next year, is all but inevitable. TechFreedom's Corbin Barthold and Ari Cohn break down the situation. For more, see a recent article by Corbin, “Trumpism on the Bench?,” published at The Bulwark; a recent article by TechFreedom's Berin Szóka, “Mass Shooting Videos Are Protected Under These Awful Laws,” published at The Daily Beast; and Corbin's and Berin's joint essay “No, Florida Can't Regulate Online Speech,” published at Lawfare.

That led to a career of over 30 years in technology, M&A and global business transformations. A couple of years ago she retired from her last job as CEO, and she embarked in her board "portfolio career": public, private and non-profit boards, in addition to teaching and doing some advisory work for CEOs.4:55 Her advice for aspiring directors: "Think of your board journey as any career."

Her other current public company boards: First Internet Bancorp (NASDAQ: INBK), Carparts.com (NASDAQ: PRTS); Amyris (NASDAQ: AMRS), and Pembina Pipeline (NYSE: PBA). When she thinks about board opportunities, she thinks about three things:Is she aligned with the mission/vision of the company and what it stands for.Does she have the skills, experience, credentials and competencies to add value to the board.Does she like the people (other board members).12:56 Her experience serving on the board of Eletrobras, a major Brazilian state-owned power generation company.

Her article "Cutting Through the ESG Noise: A Practical Framework for Corporate Boards" with Cigdem Oktem, Regional Leader, EY Center for Board Matters.22:15 Her thoughts on boardroom diversity, SB-826 and AB-979 getting struck down in California Courts. "I wish we didn't have to rely on quotas, but the truth is that when left in the hands of nom/gov chairs, board chairs and companies and executives, [progress] was just not happening.""All I can hope for is that some halo effect [since SB-826] has demonstrated that having diversity and inclusion on boards is a good business practice."24:41 On the progress of Latinos on boards. She serves on the board of the Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA), co-Chairs its Latino Corporate Directors Educational Foundation (LCDEF) that delivers on the BoardReady Institute (BRI).28:20 On the politicization of boards. "Over the last three years there has been extreme politicization globally, not only in the U.S." "I am a big proponent of full disclosure on where you stand as an institution and/or corporation."32:18 Her thoughts on Coinbase's position (a "mission driven company") and Salesforce (strong proponent of stakeholder capitalism). "Both companies took a stand, and that is what's important."34:52 Her take on governance practices in the tech industry. On the role of experience and self-awareness in leadership.37:17 Discussion of founder-led tech companies, governance consequences, and reverse bias discrimination. "Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity but cash is reality." "Sometimes there is too much of a good thing." "What is lacking is appreciation and respect for experience."44:52 The 3 books that have greatly influenced her life:Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl (1946)The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho (1988)Exodus, by Leon Uris  (1958)46:06- Who were your mentors, and what did you learn from them? "I have had so many, I apply a 360 mentorship model" "I crave feedback and mentorship all the time."47:05 - Are there any quotes you think of often or live your life by? "When contemplating an opportunity, if you don't foresee the possibility of death, bankruptcy or prison, then go for it!""Always think about how to pay it forward" (good karma)Particularly for women who suffer from imposter syndrome: "Remember that you're seeing people from the outside where they seem so confident but you don't know what they are feeling on the inside, so do your thing, walk in confident, don't worry too much about outside influence."49:16- An unusual habit or an absurd thing that she loves: "Melting chocolate and top it with yogurt or nuts to pretend that it's healthy." Reality TV, she's watched every season of the Survivor!50:30 - The living person she most admires: her middle sister, a pediatrician in Brazil, "probably the most knowledgeable, powerful and yet so humble and generous."Ana Dutra is an experienced CEO, business advisor and corporate director of publicly traded, family-owned and private corporations.

The Florida Legislature in a May special session passed a series of reforms to help stabilize a property insurance market that has seen a growing number of carriers stop writing business or becoming insolvent.  Homeowners rates keep growing by double-digits and coverage is increasingly difficult to obtain. Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller talks with a lawmaker who was one of the handful of leaders behind the reforms and the head of a litigation analytics firm on whether the two new laws will help re-right the marketplace and lower homeowners rates - and what further reform is most needed next. Show NotesFlorida's newest property insurance and consumer reforms build on legislation passed in 2019 and 2021.  The two new laws (SB 2-D & SB 4-D) target excessive litigation, contractor solicitation abuse, and provide $2 billion in no-cost reinsurance coverage to carriers to improve the affordability and availability of insurance coverage.  More than 12 companies have stopped writing new business since January.  Another seven companies have become insolvent since 2019 - six in just the past 12 months.  “This was a matter of first aid to save a dying patient, which was Florida's property insurance market but there's absolutely still more to do,” said Representative David Smith (R-Winter Springs) who supported the two bills that became law and took effective immediately on May 26, 2022.  “There are some homeowners that the legislation is going to help immediately.  But longer term, I think homeowners will see lower rates and an impact of the rates going up less because of the stabilization of the market….we're on the right track.”According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' data, as reported by state Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier, Florida has 9% of all homeowners insurance claims in the US yet has 79% of all homeowners insurance claims lawsuits.  The number of property insurance lawsuits in the state has increased 363% in the past nine years.  The current excesses are driven by fraudulent roof claims.  “A lot of the new measures are litigation related with the intent that either the laws will reduce the lawsuit amounts or reduce the cost of each lawsuit to the insurance industry, which would then translate to lower insurance premiums for Floridians,” said Wesley Todd, CEO of CaseGlide, a Tampa-based litigation analytics and software firm serving the insurance industry.  He noted the real question is exactly when rates will come down given the reforms will take time to be reflected in renewal policies over the coming months.  Insurance companies and their reinsurers will then want to see “years of data” that suggests litigation costs are under control.  “I believe that lawmakers still have one more thing left to do, which is get rid of the attorney fees statute, which is the structure that incentivizes attorneys to sue insurance companies.  I think until they do that, we won't actually start to see rates for Floridians decrease.”Florida's attorney fees statute (627.428 f.s.) requires an insurance company pay attorney fees when the policyholder prevails in a lawsuit against the company.  It has helped in catastrophes such as 1992's devastating Hurricane Andrew, to encourage representation “so that consumers would have a level playing field,” host Miller said.  “What has happened is that there are contractors who use that statute to their own benefit and will have their favorite partner, a plaintiff lawyer, and they become a team, once the consumer is kind of marginalized, if you will.”Rep. Smith said the new reforms prohibit awards of attorney fees to contractors or other assignees of an Assignment of Benefits (AOB) contract.  “Again, we've got to do more.  And the legislature never wants to deny the consumer, that homeowner the ability to get an attorney and be represented and get their day in court,” he said.  While Florida has weather issues to deal with that can impact insurance rates, “it's the litigation costs that are driving these rates up and why reinsurance companies don't want to take the actuarial risk of having all this litigation in Florida.  It's not the hurricanes they fear, it's the trial lawyer,” Rep. Smith said.Todd agreed and said the “surgical approach” the legislature rightfully utilized in the 2019 and 2021 reforms was meant to solve the litigation problem without getting rid of the attorney fees statue, but that hasn't worked.  “If we put a lot of loopholes and obstacles in front of the plaintiff attorneys, but they get paid to jump through those loopholes because they get paid for all their attorney fees, then are they really obstacles?  They're things that actually create more revenue for the attorneys because they're being paid to jump through hoops,” Todd argued.“It's not the $35,000 roof that is the burden on the insurance company,” added Rep. Smith.  “It's the $150,000 or $200,000 in attorney fees that they get paid.  That's what creates the litigation risk.”  He discussed his idea of creating a blue ribbon commission to meet outside the time constraints of the legislature's annual 60-day session and five weeks of prior committee meetings to collect data, benchmark other states' efforts, and “to get everybody that has a vested interest in solving the problem to everybody that's part of the problem to come together to be part of the solution,” Rep. Smith said.  In the meantime, Senator Jim Boyd (R-Bradenton) who chairs the Insurance and Banking Committee is expected to hold workshops this summer to provide more information and data that some lawmakers complained they didn't have during the special session.Host Miller and her guests also discussed what wasn't in the new reform laws: Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, the state-created and taxpayer-backed “insurer of last resort.”  Its policy count is rapidly approaching one million as private insurance companies have gone insolvent or shed policies because of underwriting losses.  It under-market rates and growing policy count burden will subject the rest of Florida's policyholders across almost all insurance lines (including automobile & surplus lines) to pay a special assessment if Citizens runs out of money to pay claims, as it did during the spate of 8 hurricanes during the 2004-2005 season.Host Miller agreed with both of her guests that the legislature needs to eliminate the attorney fees statute.  She said lawmakers should also go beyond the roof deductible option that consumers can access as part of the new law and instead require actual cash value for roof replacement as 40 other states do.  She also advocates for elimination of AOB contracts and reform of the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund that could save homeowners an estimated average $150 a year on their premium.Links and Resources Mentioned in this EpisodeCaseGlideRepresentative David SmithSB 2-D & SB 4-D (bills covering the 2022 reforms)Final Special Session 2022 Florida Legislature Bill Watch (Lisa Miller & Associates)Florida Statutes section 627.428 (on attorney fees)Top 20 Attorneys Filing Property Insurance Lawsuits - 2022 Q1 (Florida Department of Financial Services, April 2022)Florida Insurance Industry's Litigation, 2013-2021 (Citizens Property Insurance Corporation)Top 10 Florida Domestic Insurers Net Income Losses (from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, March 2022)Private Insurance Industry Cumulative Rate Filings 2020-2021 (from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, March 2022)Florida's 2019 AOB Reform (HB 7065) (Lisa Miller & Associates)Florida's 2021 Litigation & Solicitation Reform (SB 76) (Lisa Miller & Associates)Florida's 2022 Litigation Reform & Consumer Protections (SB 2-D & SB 4-D) (Lisa Miller & Associates)CFO/Department of Financial Services Insurance Consumer Helpline (1-877-693-5236)** The Listener Call-In Line for your recorded questions and comments to air in future episodes is 850-388-8002 or you may send email to LisaMiller@LisaMillerAssociates.com **The Florida Insurance Roundup from Lisa Miller & Associates, brings you the latest developments in Property & Casualty, Healthcare, Workers' Compensation, and Surplus Lines insurance from around the Sunshine State.  Based in the state capital of Tallahassee, Lisa Miller & Associates provides its clients with focused, intelligent, and cost conscious solutions to their business development, government consulting, and public relations needs.  On the web at www.LisaMillerAssociates.com or call 850-222-1041.  Your questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome!  Date of Recording 6/22/2022.

Cechą charakterystyczną rządów PiS jest to, że to Jarosław Kaczyński jednoosobowo decyduje o tym, co jest dobre, a co złe, kto jest patriotą, a kto zdrajcą, kto zostanie milionerem, a kto skończy jak parias. Nie są ważne decyzje instytucji, sądów i trybunałów — w państwie PiS Kaczyński jest ostateczną instancją, która decyduje o ludzkich losach. Wie to dobrze Julia Przyłębska, która dzięki osobistej decyzji Kaczyńskiego z przeciętnego sędziego podrzędnego wydziału poznańskiego sądu stała się wodzirejką Trybunału Konstytucyjnego. Dziś Przyłębska drży — mimo wiernej służby dla PiS, nie może być całkowicie pewna, czy zachowa stanowisko. Na początku swych rządów w latach 2015-16 walcząc o przejęcie kontroli nad TK, obóz władzy wprowadził 6-letnią kadencję na fotelu prezesa Trybunału. A Przyłębskiej 6 lat kończy się w grudniu. Co się zatem stanie? Autorzy „Stanu po Burzy” Agnieszka Burzyńska („Fakt”) oraz Andrzej Stankiewicz (ONET) tłumaczą galimatias prawny, dochodząc do jedynego słusznego wniosku: zdecyduje prezes. Na pewno w najbliższych miesiącach pani Julia będzie się jeszcze bardziej, niż zwykle — czy to w ogóle możliwe? — wysługiwała się prezesowi. Tylko dla niego będą lunche, rauty, biby, biesiady, podwieczorki... i wyroki. Pani Julio, „Stan po Burzy” bieży ze słowami wsparcia i otuchy. Proszę popatrzeć na losy Kazimierza Kujdy, wieloletniego prezesa spółki Srebrna, czyli wehikułu finansowego środowiska PiS. „Stan po Burzy” po przetrząśnięciu komunistycznych archiwów już dwa lata temu doszedł do wniosku, że za komuny Kujda był agentem SB. Po nas takie stanowisko powziął Instytut Pamięci Narodowej, a w finale sąd, który właśnie uznał, że Kujda był kłamcą lustracyjnym, bo zaprzeczał, że współpracował z komunistyczną bezpieką. Co na to Kaczyński? Zaatakował sąd, a jakże. Ktoś taki jak Kujda — finansowy reżyser interesów PiS — nie może być wszak agentem, prawda? A to prezes decyduje, kto jest agentem, a kto nie. Poza pełną kontrolą Kaczyńskiego już dziś bodaj jedna, jedyna rzecz w obozie władzy — wojna Zbigniewa Ziobry z Mateuszem Morawieckim. Lider Solidarnej Polski atakuje premiera, zarzucając mu, że pod naciskiem Brukseli chce doprowadzić do nałożenia nowych opłat i podatków na posiadaczy aut spalinowych. Ziobro jest gotów się nawet z Morawieckim napić za Morawieckiego błędy. Proponuje mu pędzony ze śliwek... nielegalny bimberek. Ministrze sprawiedliwości, pan jesteś naprawdę pijany praworządnością.

SB 8.16.1 To 8.16.21 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 8 Chapter 16 by ISKCON of DC

June 15, 2022 — With the passage of SB 1383, Californians will be required to reduce organic waste in the landfill by 75% in the next three years. In a few weeks, a new large-scale compost facility will be available to most of Mendocino County, and buy-back recycling will re-open in Fort Bragg and Ukiah. Most of the county's non-recyclable, non- compostable trash goes to a landfill in Fairfield. The county and cities have composting contracts with Cold Creek Compost in Potter Valley, which is permitted to process 50,000 tons of material a year. On July 1, C&S Waste Solutions will take over the solid waste contract for Fort Bragg and Franchise Area 2, from Waste Management. C&S partner Bruce McCracken sketched out the area where residents can expect to see new containers, and new trucks, making the rounds. “Franchise Area 2 is kind of split in two, an inland portion and a coastal portion,” he explained. “The coastal portion being everything slightly north of Fort Bragg, and then south down to the Navarro river, so down towards Albion, et cetera. The inland portion is the Ukiah Valley: Redwood Valley, Potter Valley, Hopland. So basically the entire Ukiah Valley…I would like to add, though, on the trucks: one thing that the residential customers will see is that we run split-body trucks. So we co-collect. We collect garbage and recycling at the same time. And I know when people first see it, we're going to get a bunch of phone calls saying, you're mixing everything! But we're not. There actually is a wall in between, in the body of the vehicle. It's one less trip on the streets, so it helps the roads. It makes us more efficient…it makes no sense for us to mix the material, because it costs us money to go to the landfill.” In 2019, the company won a $3 million grant from the state to build a compost facility at the Ukiah transfer station. Like Cold Creek, it's permitted to process 50,000 tons a year, though it's currently able to process half that. The transfer station has been composting yard waste, but the new covered facility will take organic waste like food scraps, as well. And, after suspending buy-back recycling in 2019, C&S is promising to open beverage container recycling centers in Ukiah and Fort Bragg. McCracken estimates that in about three months, customers will be able to get their California Redemption Value refunds on bottles and cans. SB 1383 puts the burden of enforcement and education on the contractor, but McCracken says the hammer will come down incrementally. “If we note that there's prohibited material in the blue can or the green can, we will tag it. Our customer service staff will call the customer. We will send out literature explaining that this is what really goes into the blue or green can. A second time, you'll get a small fee, which in most cases we will waive. It's more of a wake-up, to say, hey. We can't accept this material in these carts. The third time, it's a little more serious, where there will be a charge levied against you for contamination, and if it continues, we have the ability to take the cart away. But we don't want to do that. I understand that everybody wants to recycle everything. But it's just not doable.” That's apparent at the old Alex Thomas pear shed in Ukiah, now transformed to a sorting facility where seventeen workers separate trash from recyclables. Plastic bags and plastic wrappers, says McCracken, are the enemy. “We don't want bags in the recycling, because that's where we find needles, too,” he said, over the roar of the machinery. “Needles are the biggest threat on the line.” There are other hazards, too. In the quiet section of the MRF, or Materials Recovery Facility, there is a huge pile of crushed glass. McCracken's not worried about glass. “Another thing that's really bad in the blue can are batteries,” he said. “Because it starts fires in MRF's, and it starts fires in garbage trucks.” He added that batteries need to be taken to Mendo Recycle during hazardous household waste events, or to the facility in Ukiah, which has limited hours of operation. “The amount of fires across the county in garbage trucks and at MRF's is escalating at an alarming rate, and it's batteries,” he warned. On the tipping floor, where workers extract sheets of plastic film from the recyclables, there are room-sized bales of material that are headed for the landfill. Clothes, pillows, foam mattresses and small appliances have all been pulled from the recycling stream. Some items, like hoses, call for extraordinary measures. “These are known as tanglers in the business, because they tangle up in the machinery,” he said, tugging on a length of hose strapped into one of the landfill bales. “So we literally, at the end of the shift, have to send people up there in harnesses, with knives, to cut it out of the machinery. It's a hard job as it is, and that's why people doing their part on the front end makes the job a lot easier.” Once the material makes its way out of Ukiah, there are a few options. McCracken says there are brokers on the West Coast who will take recyclables, but that “nothing goes to China anymore.” It does go to Pacific Rim countries, including South Korea. “There is a push to get more and more in-country facilities that will process this material,” he reported. On the far side of the crushed glass and the assembly line where McCracken says a couple hundred tons of material is sorted every day, there is an orphan pile of miscellaneous items that he hopes to educate out of the blue bins altogether. “I mean, there's a lot of stuff here, why would you ever think of putting it in the blue can?” he asked, nudging a brick with his foot. A beat-up old saddle was nestled in beside a chipped red enamel pot. “We see it all,” he confirmed, eyeing the mountain of trash.

"I loved running. I had the best race of my life and I was so excited. That feeling! You know that feeling? And they took it away from me that day. Anyone should be able to excel at what they love without these roadblocks of discrimination." In 2019, 17-year-old Noor Abukaram ran the best, fastest cross-country race of her life at a local meet in Ohio. But when she checked the results afterward, her name wasn't there. She learned that she had been disqualified before the race even started. For wearing a hijab. Noor — who was raised in a Muslim family and started wearing a traditional head and neck covering as a teenager — shared her story from that day, of being disqualified for rules unbeknownst to her, and it quickly went viral. And so she turned her heartache into advocacy. She founded "Let Noor Run," a campaign to raise awareness about religious-based discrimination in sports and beyond. She successfully helped change the laws and legislation that protect the freedom of religious expression for athletes in Ohio. At at only 19 years old, she just starred in an ESPN film that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

What's UP? On today's episode Laura Sextro, CEO of The Unity Project, welcomes strategic partners Denise Aguilar and Tara Thornton, co-founders of Freedom Angels. These amazing women have been tirelessly fighting for our freedoms in the California legislature, bringing awareness to communities across the state of what their elected officials are proposing and voting on while moving the needle to kill these bad bills.Denise and Tara break down the bills currently up for committee and floor votes, what the ramifications would be if these passed and how you can get engaged. In particular, SB 866- the 12 year old medical consent bill up for vote this Thursday, June 9 and AB 2098- which would infringe on the patient/doctor relationship and investigate medical doctors for what the state deems “misinformation”.Everyone in the state of California needs to listen to and share this episode and get informed. Everyone outside of the state should listen and pay attention because if these bills pass, this sets the stage for the same laws to be voted on in your state.Links for Freedom Angelswww.freedom-angels.org/Denise Aguilar:Co-Founder, Freedom-Angels.orgFounder of https://liberatesjc.com www.liberatesjc.com/IG: Denise.Freedom.AngelTikTok : DeniseFreedomAngelTelegram: TheInformedMama209Tara Thornton:Co-Founder, Freedom-Angels.org, FreedomTravelAlliance.com, UrbanGlobalHealthAlliance.comFounder & Director, The Phoenix SocietyIG: @tara.freedom.angel @thephoenixsociety_Telegram: https://t.me/pioneermamaLinks for The Unity Project:The Unity Project is a 501c3 non-profit organization that relies on the contributions of our generous supporters to fuel the work we do in this movement.
