Das im Grundgesetz verbriefte Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung wird schon seit einigen Jahren mit Füßen getreten. Jetzt soll diese illegale Praxis ganz offiziell legalisiert werden.Ein Standpunkt von Hermann Ploppa.Vor kurzem reiste die Sonderberichterstatterin der Vereinten Nationen für Meinungsfreiheit, Frau Irene Khan, für etwa zwei Wochen durch Deutschland. Bei ihrer Winterreise sprach sie zunächst mit Vertretern der Bundesregierung, der Bundesländer und mit den obersten Verfassungsrichtern in Karlsruhe. Denn Frau Khan war von der Bundesregierung eingeladen worden. Vermutlich in der Hoffnung, dass Irene Khan der Bundesregierung gute Noten erteilen würde. Doch Frau Khan sprach auch mit einfachen Bürgern und Vertretern von deutschen Menschenrechtsorganisationen.Und den erhofften Persilschein für makellose Menschenrechtspolitik liefert Irene Khan der deutschen Bundesregierung keineswegs. Die ehemalige Direktorin von Amnesty International berichtet vielmehr von einem Klima der Einschüchterung und Angst in Deutschland.Die weitreichende Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit begründete die Bundesregierung gegenüber der UNO-Gesandten mit der zunehmenden Brutalisierung und Polarisierung, die durch die sogenannten sozialen Medien in der Bevölkerung um sich greife. Das ist zweifelsfrei ein großes Problem, das uns alle mit großer Sorge erfüllen sollte. Das Netz macht es möglich, einem Mitmenschen im Schutz der Anonymität Sachen an den Kopf zu werfen, die man sich in der direkten Begegnung von Auge zu Auge niemals trauen würde. Allerdings sind die Bundesregierung und die ihr unterstellten Behörden sehr selektiv in der Wahrnehmung dessen, was den sozialen Frieden untergraben könnte. Die Bundesregierung verbindet den Kampf gegen Hassrede mehr oder weniger geschickt immer wieder mit ihrer eigenen geopolitischen Agenda. Um es klar zu sagen: wer bei dem moralisch-mentalen Feldzug der Bundesregierung gegen Russland, China und die Palästinenser nicht mitmacht, wird bevorzugt Opfer des offiziellen Kampfes gegen Hassrede.Frau Khan muss diesen Tatbestand verständlicherweise in diplomatische Zurückhaltung kleiden, wenn sie ausführt:„Die Regierung hat diese Bedrohungen zwar zu Recht ernst genommen, aber sie hat sich bei der Bekämpfung der Gefahren zunehmend auf Sicherheitsmaßnahmen verlassen. Viele dieser Maßnahmen – von der verstärkten Absicherung von Beamten, die öffentlicher Kritik ausgesetzt sind, bis hin zu pauschalen Verboten von Slogans, die mit pro-palästinensischen Protesten in Verbindung stehen, und der Überwachung von Organisationen aus vagen, nicht näher definierten Gründen des ‚Extremismus‘ – sind nicht mit den internationalen Menschenrechtsstandards vereinbar. Sie führen zu Unsicherheiten, was den Unterschied zwischen zulässiger und unzulässiger Meinungsäußerung betrifft, und fördern Stigmatisierung und Selbstzensur.“ (1)...https://apolut.net/das-offizielle-ende-der-meinungsfreiheit-von-hermann-ploppa/ Hosted on Acast.

"No one is illegal on stolen land." "Ceasefire now."Ever wonder why certain political phrases seem to appear out of nowhere and suddenly become unavoidable? James Lindsay returns to Ami's House to expose the psychological engineering behind the slogans that are currently hacking our public discourse.While these viral phrases feel like organic expressions of "the people," James argues they are precision-engineered "thought-terminating clichés." Their goal isn't to start a conversation, but to shut down rational cognition entirely.In this episode, we deconstruct the mechanics of "sloganization"—a tactic James traces back to Maoist psychological warfare (Tifa)—and how it has successfully infected both the Far Left and the new "Woke Right."Ami and James dive deep into:The Brain Hack: Why six-word slogans are more effective than 60,000-word logical arguments.The "Woke Right" Infection: How elements of the conservative movement have adopted the identity politics and grievance tactics of the Left.The Death of Charlie Kirk's "Big Tent": An analysis of the internal fracturing of the MAGA coalition.The Marketplace of Conduct: Why we are moving away from an argument of ideas and into a battle of scripted provocations.The Silence on Iran: Why viral activism remains deafeningly quiet regarding the Iranian regime.Are you repeating your own beliefs, or are you repeating a script? Join us for an essential look at the war for your attention and your logic.

Beyond Slogans: The Essence of Islamic UnityUstadh Haitham, in the first speech, “Beyond Slogans: The Essence of Islamic Unity,” highlighted that while the Ummah remains deeply united in grief, compassion, and concern over crises such as Gaza, Sudan, and Kashmir, it remains fragmented in action due to the absence of unified leadership and an overarching political structure. He emphasized that authentic Islamic unity is built upon discipline, coordination, and governance rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah. He further explained that unity in Islam is not uniformity, but rather a unity of purpose and accountability, achievable only through restored leadership and collective responsibility that enables the Ummah to protect its people, uphold justice, and fulfill its role as witnesses over humanity.

Meinungsfreiheit - jeder von uns hat damit tagtäglich zu tun, deshalb sollte man sich damit gut auskennen. Die Basics dazu haben wir schon in der ersten Episode zu Art. 5 GG gelernt. Heute schauen wir uns mit Simon Baldus von GrundGesetzVerstehen e.V. konkrete Fälle an! Schülerin vs. Lehrer Fler vs. Bushido Böhmermann vs. Imker River vs. Sea #Palästina Höcke vs. Rechtsstaat Das Grundgesetz gibt uns viele Freiheiten, aber auch Verantwortung. Unser Tipp: Lieber einmal nachdenken, bevor man etwas postet, das sich dann schlimmstenfalls verbreitet, ohne dass man noch Kontrolle darüber hat. Auch immer ne gute Idee: Kurzer Faktencheck, statt ungeprüft Aussagen oder "Slogans" zu übernehemen. Safety first :-)

„Ein Glas Milch, das bringt Mumm in die Knochen“, war einer der Slogans, mit denen die Milchlobby den Milchkonsum in die Höhe schnellen ließ. Eiweiß, Calcium und Vitamine waren die Argumente. Dass ganze Kontinente quasi ohne Milch gesund lebten, stand nicht in Frage. Wie man mit und ohne Milch eine ausreichende Knochendichte erlangen kann, die Reizübertragung in Muskeln und Nerven und die Signalübermittlung innerhalb der Zellen funktionieren, die Zellmembranen stabil bleiben und die Blutgerinnung trotzdem gelingt, das bespreche ich heute wieder mit dem Bioverfahrenstechniker Dr. Stefan Hügel in der Reihe Ein guter Grund mit dem heutigen Thema: Calcium: Mehr über die Arbeit von Dr. Stefan Hügel unter almaterra.at

Les Portugais sont appelés aux urnes ce dimanche 18 janvier 2026 pour élire leur président. Pour la première fois depuis plus de 50 ans et l'arrivée de la démocratie, un candidat d'extrême droite est en bonne position. André Ventura, leader du Chega, a pourtant été au cœur d'un énorme scandale lors de la précampagne en fin d'année dernière. De notre correspondante à Lisbonne, Aux ronds-points des villes portugaises, les grands panneaux politiques ne passent pas inaperçus au moment des élections. À la fin de 2025, ce sont les affiches d'André Ventura, candidat du parti d'extrême droite Chega, qui ont provoqué un énorme scandale. On y lisait des slogans visant les minorités du Portugal, tels que «  Ici, ce n'est pas le Bangladesh » ou encore « Les Tziganes doivent respecter la loi ».  Des formules jugées inacceptables par Nuno, rencontré au Rato : « C'est offensant. Le Portugal n'est pas un pays raciste et ne l'a jamais été. Ce candidat fait émerger ce qu'il y a de pire dans la société. Nous sommes un pays d'émigrés ; on ne peut pas s'opposer aux immigrés. » Face à l'impact violent des provocations d'André Ventura, de nombreux citoyens ont spontanément écrit aux autorités pour protester. Comme. Ana Luisa Rodrigues : « Il est essentiel que nous fassions entendre notre voix en tant que citoyens pour dire que ce discours ne mène nulle part, qu'il nourrit la haine et porte atteinte au bien-être de la société. Chacun a désormais pleinement conscience de l'impact de ce discours de haine permanent. » Slogans racistes Les 465 plaintes citoyennes ont été adressées à la Commission nationale des élections. Mais c'est au tribunal que tout s'est joué. La plateforme des droits des Tziganes, partie civile, a gagné le procès contre Chega. Paulo Domingos, dirigeant de la plateforme : « Le tribunal a été très clair : il a estimé que les affiches comportant les slogans en question dépassaient le cadre de la critique politique pour entrer dans celui du racisme. Cette décision a eu un impact symbolique, social et politique considérable. » André Ventura a dû retirer sa propagande. Cependant, sa stratégie a fonctionné. Rodrigo Viana de Freitas, directeur de l'agence de communication Central Information : « La stratégie consiste à instaurer une tension maîtrisée en s'appuyant sur un discours de victimisation, du type : " On nous oblige à retirer les affiches pour nous réduire au silence. Nous ne nous laisserons pas faire". En réalité, une partie de l'électorat de Chega aspire précisément à la rupture ». André Ventura a réussi à se positionner dans le peloton des cinq candidats susceptibles de se placer pour un second tour. La fracture semble se préciser, il n'y a jamais eu autant d'indécision au Portugal. À lire aussiPortugal: la droite au pouvoir remporte les élections municipales et les villes de Lisbonne et Porto

We cover:— A weaponized DOJ, mass deportations turning violent, and warnings that the “resistance libs were right.”— Trump's aggressive threats to seize Greenland, a move that would effectively end NATO.— FBI raiding a Washington Post journalist's home in a classified leaks probe.— Disturbing DHS/DOL slogans echoing Nazi propaganda (“One Homeland, One People, One Heritage”).— The fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old American mom and poet in Minneapolis — called “domestic terrorism” by the Trump administration despite video evidence.— And much, MUCH more!Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

Dans la publicité, les conneries sont nombreuses ! A commencer par les slogans, qui perdent de leurs qualités... Chaque weekend en podcast, retrouvez "100 ans de conneries", par Jean Yanne. Pendant 4 mois, de septembre à décembre 1999, le sociétaire des "Grosses Têtes" tenait sur RTL une chronique quotidienne dans laquelle il faisait le bilan du siècle qui allait bientôt se terminer. Avec son humour féroce habituel, il s'est attaché à dénoncé la "connerie" humaine, vraie constante et révélatrice du XXème siècle.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Michael Reagan, the eldest adopted son of President Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, passed away at age 80 in Los Angeles. He was a man of deep faith who overcame early issues to become an engaging and supportive figure, strongly defending his father, Ronald Reagan, and backing President Trump. He wasn't just the son of a president; he was a strong voice for conservative principles and a defender of the values that made this country great. Also, the military's operation that swiftly removed Nicholas Maduro from Caracas, without injuring any American soldiers, was spectacular. Democrats previously called for Maduro's removal but now criticize the action, raising questions of impeachment of President Trump and war crimes. There's a lack of national unity. In the past both parties would celebrate such an event and praise the president and military, but now Democrats oppose it while their militia protests in U.S. cities. The country is in deep trouble regardless of the president, as constitutional protections for free speech and association are exploited by these groups, now joined by a recurring Hitlerian wing of neo-fascists who celebrate Hitler and Stalin, obsessively trash Jews, evangelical Christians supporting Israel, and the U.S. itself, while promoting Islamism and Sharia law. Later, property rights are fundamental human rights, earned through intellectual and physical labor, reflecting one's limited time on earth to accumulate wealth for family. Slogans like Zohran Mamdani's "warmth of the community" mask an iron fist of centralized government that erodes individual rights and liberties, rejecting Enlightenment and Judeo-Christian values in favor of Islamism and Marxism, which are incompatible with America's founding. The collective dehumanizes individuals and diminishes their creations. Afterward, these ideologies, whether Islamist or Marxist are incompatible with Americanism, posing a survival threat rather than an affordability issue. Marxism has failed everywhere, yet it's not taught in schools, media, or by podcasters. Our generation—parents and grandparents—must reclaim the public square to shield children from brainwashing by these diabolical saboteurs, including the Democrat Party, historically hostile to American beliefs.

Er zijn momenten waarop taal zijn onschuld verliest. Woorden die ooit bedoeld waren om iets te duiden, raken los van hun oorspronkelijke context en gaan een eigen leven leiden. Ze worden geladen, ideologisch, gevaarlijk. De geschiedenis van de christelijke omgang met Mattheüs 27:25 laat dat op pijnlijke wijze zien. De zin “Zijn bloed kome over ons en onze kinderen” is in de loop der eeuwen verschoven van een dramatische uitspraak binnen een intern Joods conflict naar een van de meest destructieve instrumenten van christelijk antisemitisme. Niet omdat de tekst dat per se beoogde, maar omdat latere generaties hem hebben ingezet als retorisch wapen tegen een heel volk.De ethische waarde van taal ligt echter niet in de intentie, maar in de uitwerking.Wie de geschiedenis van het antisemitisme kent, herkent het patroon. Een tekst wordt uit zijn bedding gelicht, veralgemeniseerd, moreel verzwaard en vervolgens gebruikt om een collectief te demoniseren. De historische situatie vervaagt; wat overblijft is een ideologisch beeld van “de Joden” als moreel verdorven en schuldig. Zo ontstaat een blood libel: een beschuldiging die niet langer verwijst naar feiten, maar naar een vijandbeeld dat zichzelf voedt.Vanuit die historische gevoeligheid zie ik met groeiende zorg hoe in het hedendaagse debat over Israël vergelijkbare mechanismen werkzaam zijn. Termen als “genocide”, “apartheid”, “kolonialisme” en “bezetting” worden in bepaalde activistische contexten niet gebruikt als nauwkeurige juridische begrippen, maar als ideologische etiketten die een volk of een staat reduceren tot een morele karikatuur.Dat betekent niet dat elk gebruik van deze woorden per definitie onjuist of kwaadaardig is. Maar in vele discoursen functioneren ze niet langer beschrijvend; ze worden instrumenten van demonisering. Slogans die emoties aanwakkeren in plaats van de werkelijkheid te verhelderen. Wapens in een ideologische strijd, geen middelen tot analyse. Precies daarin schuilt hun gevaar.De parallellen met Mattheüs 27:25 zijn niet historisch, maar retorisch. In beide gevallen zien we hoe taal wordt losgemaakt van nuance en context, hoe een collectief wordt aangesproken alsof het één morele actor is, hoe een complex conflict wordt teruggebracht tot een zwart-witbeeld, en hoe woorden worden gebruikt om een vijandbeeld te creëren dat zich afsluit voor correctie.Wanneer ik hoor hoe pro-Palestijnse groepen en Hamas-aanhangers termen als “genocide” en “apartheid” hanteren, herken ik datzelfde mechanisme. De woorden dienen niet om een juridische discussie te voeren, maar om een moreel oordeel te vellen. Niet om de werkelijkheid te onderzoeken, maar om een vijandbeeld te bevestigen. Ze functioneren niet als begrippen, maar als beschuldigingen. In die zin zijn het moderne blood libels.Het gaat er niet om politieke kritiek onmogelijk te maken. Kritiek op staten, regeringen, beleid en militaire acties is essentieel in elke democratische samenleving. Maar kritiek verliest haar legitimiteit wanneer zij omslaat in demonisering. Wanneer woorden worden gebruikt om een volk te ontmenselijken, wanneer begrippen worden ingezet als wapens, wanneer taal wordt gebruikt om haat te mobiliseren, betreden we gevaarlijk terrein. De geschiedenis van het antisemitisme laat zien hoe snel zulke retoriek kan ontsporen.Daarom is het noodzakelijk deze mechanismen te benoemen. Niet om historische situaties gelijk te schakelen, maar om zichtbaar te maken hoe vijandbeelden ontstaan. Hoe taal groepen kan reduceren tot negatieve morele categorieën. Hoe woorden kunnen worden ingezet om haat te legitimeren. En hoe belangrijk het is om alert te blijven op elke vorm van retoriek die mensen ontmenselijkt, ongeacht wie het doelwit is. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/koinonia-bijbelstudie-live--595091/support.

The Chief Constables of the Greater Manchester and Metropolitan police forces have said they plan to take a more "assertive" approach to pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Also: Resident doctors are condemned as "utterly irresponsible" by the Prime Minister as the latest five day strike gets underway. And the government has rejected claims by the Consevatives that re-joining the Erasmus student exchange scheme is a betrayal of Brexit.

ACAB c'est l'acronyme de All Cops are Bastards, en français : “tous les flics sont des bâtards”. Il y a une variante numéraire 1312 qui fait référence aux positions des lettres dans l'alphabet.  Il existe de nombreux slogans “anti-flics” : “Mort aux vaches !”, “les poulets”, “police partout, justice nulle part”, ou encore “CRS SS”… Dans cet épisode, on vous raconte l'origine de ces slogans.  D'où vient l'acronyme ACAB ? Quel auteur célèbre est à l'origine de la phrase “Police partout, justice nulle part” ? Et pourquoi on appelle la police “les poulets” ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de Maintenant vous savez !

Why does the Church weigh in on questions related to science? What did the Catholic Church teach about evolution from 1831 - 1950? What is the correct way of thinking about the Church's stance toward theories of evolution? Dr. Kenneth Kemp joins us to discuss these topics and his new book. ---------- The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.

Stephanie Gray Connors discusses the Catholic case against the practice of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in great detail. She engages with many common objections, including:  Embryos are not plausibly persons so IVF is fine. Isn't the Church pro-life so shouldn't they want more babies? If a building was on fire, would you save a 2-month old child or a shopping cart full of embryos? ---------------- The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation.

James sits down with astrophysicist Brian Keating for a candid, useful tour through three hot zones: how to think about AI (and where it actually helps), what's broken in higher ed and admissions right now, and why outsourcing your mood to politics is a losing strategy. You'll hear first-hand stories (from UC San Diego classrooms to New York City politics), specific ways James and Brian really use AI daily, and a simple framework for protecting your attention and happiness—even when everything feels polarized. What You'll Learn: A practical AI workflow you can copy today (research prompts, personal “style” bots, and where LLMs fail at original insight). A filter for political noise that keeps 99% of your happiness anchored in health, family, friends, and work you control. What the UCSD admissions/placement findings really mean for preparation and standards (and why “remedial” can mask deeper gaps). A simple admissions/common-sense principle: standards matter; “portfolio” evaluation shouldn't ignore basic skills. How to use AI without losing your own voice—James' test for “write it in my style” and why generic outputs still fall short. Timestamped Chapters: [02:00] Loft event stories, comedy beats, and setting the tone for a heavy topic. [05:00] NYC politics, leadership, and the “why would they vote for him?” question. [07:32] Slogans vs. reality: chants, charters, and what words actually imply. [09:30] Economics that sound nice vs. incentives that ruin cities. [12:00] “Don't outsource your happiness to politicians.” A sanity reset. [20:48] Inside UCSD's placement data: how did calculus passers miss first-grade algebra?

Ralph welcomes infectious disease expert Dr. Michael Osterholm to discuss his new book “The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics.” Then, Ralph shares some quick takes on current events.Dr. Michael Osterholm is a professor and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. In November 2020, Dr. Osterholm was appointed to President-elect Joe Biden's 13-member Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board. He is the author of Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs, and he has a weekly podcast called The Osterholm Update which offers discussion and analysis on the latest infectious disease developments. His latest book (co-authored with Mark Olshaker) is The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics.What we're concerned about now is we're primed for an influenza pandemic someday where a new influenza virus will emerge. And when it takes off, it'll rapidly spread through the people. And wherever it came from (whether a bird species or another animal) will not be that important because now it's transmitted among humans.Dr. Michael OsterholmI want to be really clear about one thing: There will be an influenza virus that will cause a pandemic in the future. And the pandemic clock is ticking, we just don't know what time it is.Dr. Michael OsterholmInstead of building from a base of modest preparedness from the prior administration (and I emphasize “modest”), they're going backwards. Also, with quackery positions on a whole variety of issues that is dividing the population, feeding the misinformation on the internet, and general chaos of information transmission.Ralph NaderI will just make one prediction here today: There is going to be a large, huge, overwhelming crisis that is going to occur eventually around an infectious disease issue in this country. And it's going to happen because Mother Nature herself does that to us—just like hurricanes are not optional, these large outbreaks are not optional. What's optional is how well we respond to them and limit their impact. And we are at a point right now where we have very, very limited impact on these things. So I think the public needs to be aware, we're in a very different setting today for public health response to a crisis than we've ever been in my 50 years in the business.Dr. Michael OsterholmNews 10/31/25* Our top stories this week concern U.S. saber rattling in Venezuela. First, a new piece in published Drop Site news, coauthored by Ryan Grim, Jack Poulson and Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points, takes readers “Inside Marco Rubio's Push for Regime Change in Venezuela.” This piece deconstructs the Trump administration claims tying the Maduro government to fentanyl trafficking, quoting a senior U.S. official who unequivocally states that “U.S. intelligence has assessed that little to none of the fentanyl trafficked to the United States is being produced in Venezuela.” Another key point is that the Maduro government apparently offered to turn over oil resources to the United States in exchange for cessation of hostilities. Instead, in an echo of the Iraq War, Trump has apparently been, “swayed by arguments from Rubio that the best way to secure Venezuela's oil reserves was to facilitate regime change in Venezuela and make a better deal with a new government.” As with Iraq, regime change in Venezuela is likely to end up with a chaotic power vacuum in the country, destabilizing Latin America in turn. One would have hoped the U.S. had learned its lesson. Apparently not.* The administration does however seem to favor covert schemes to oust Maduro as opposed to an outright U.S. invasion. Back in 2020, the Trump administration backed Operation Gideon, which utilized American mercenaries and Venezuelan dissidents to try to capture Maduro. This week, Venezuela claims to have foiled another such attempt. Democracy Now! reports “Venezuelan officials say they've captured a group of mercenaries tied to the [CIA]. In a statement, the government of Venezuela said, ‘This is a colonial operation of military aggression that seeks to turn the Caribbean into a space for lethal violence and US imperial domination.'” This report goes on to state, “Earlier this month, President Trump acknowledged that he authorized the CIA to secretly conduct operations in Venezuela.” Meanwhile AP reports that over the past 16 months, a now-retired federal agent named Edwin Lopez sought to turn Maduro's personal pilot – Venezuelan General Bitner Villegas – and have the aviator deliver Maduro into U.S. custody. In exchange, Lopez promised to make the pilot a “very rich man.” This plot, hatched under President Biden and continuing under Trump, ultimately failed. Yet, as these half-baked covert ops go up in flames, it seems increasingly likely that the administration will resort to brute force. That same Democracy Now! piece reports that on Sunday, a U.S. warship arrived in Trinidad and Tobago. With no diplomatic solution on the horizon, it seems only a matter of time before the shelling begins.* As all of this unfolds, Congressional Republicans are shirking their oversight responsibilities. On October 23rd, Axios reported that Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Jim Risch of Idaho said the committee will not hold hearings regarding the lawless strikes on Venezuelan boats “at this time,” adding that he has been “briefed on it and feel[s] comfortable with where we are.” As if mocking the Legislative Branch, that same day Semafor reported a quote from “a person close to the White House” who said Trump won't coordinate with Congress until “Maduro's corpse is in US custody.”* Turning to the federal government, reclusive billionaire Timothy Mellon, heir to the Mellon fortune, has donated $130 million to the Pentagon to offset military staff salaries during the government shutdown. While $130 million is a drop in the bucket for the American Military-Industrial Complex – this donation will amount to about $50 per troop this pay cycle – it would appear to be blatantly illegal under the Antideficiency Act. The Hill explains that under this statute, “federal agencies are barred from ‘obligating or expending federal funds in advance or in excess of an appropriation, and from accepting voluntary services.'” In part, this statute was adopted to avoid just such a scenario – the president circumventing the Congressional Power of the Purse by soliciting outside donations. Unfortunately, Trump's subservient Congressional allies are unlikely to do anything about this outrageous usurpation of their power.* On the regulatory side, the Trump administration is putting its thumb on the scales in favor of David Ellison's bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. A New York Post report quotes a senior administration official who says “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important to the administration…The Warner board needs to think very seriously not just on the price competition but which player in the suitor pool has been successful getting a deal done.” The Post adds that “rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators.” Ellison, son of Trump billionaire ally Larry Ellison, has had his eye on Warner Bros. Discovery – which owns CNN – since his recent acquisition of Paramount and its subsidiary CBS News. Critics have long warned of the dangers of consolidation in the media sphere, particularly news, but this would truly be an unprecedented upset of the media landscape.* Turning to consumer news, a new article in the Lever focuses on the fast food chain Shake Shack. According to this piece, the chain, “recently updated its terms of use agreement to include a binding arbitration agreement and class-action waiver denying customers their legal right to take companies to court.” Now, corporations sneaking binding arbitration agreements into their terms of service is not a new phenomenon, but this method is novel. This article explains that Shake Shack, and other fast food chains, are “extending restrictive contracts to consumers through the rapid expansion of online services such as websites, mobile apps, and automated self-service kiosks.” In other words, these automated services are becoming a ‘triple-threat' for these companies to exploit, simultaneously cutting labor costs, harvesting consumer data, and now forcing customers into these restrictive legal agreements. When will regulators take action to protect consumers from such rampant abuse?* One bright spot, so to speak, for consumer protection is emerging in the United Kingdom. The BBC reports the British Department for Transport will begin a review of the increasingly bright, bordering on blinding, LED headlights that have become commonplace in automobiles. The new guidelines are to be unveiled in the forthcoming Road Safety Strategy document being prepared by the government. Many drivers in the United States have complained about this issue as well – noting how dangerous it is for drivers to be blinded by oncoming headlights while on the road – and certain states like Hawaii and Massachusetts have taken action, though there has yet to be a federal response.* In more positive news from abroad, the Economic Times reports China has enacted an anti-misinformation law dictating that, “if you are an influencer and… want to discuss ‘serious' topics - such as finance, health, medicine, law or education - you must provide proof of relevant professional credentials.” This law will also ban “advertising for medical products and services,” which also covers supplements and health foods. Other reports indicate that the fines for violating this law could be as high as ¥100,000. The proliferation of medical misinformation has become a major issue for governments the world over and in the U.S. has incubated a vast underworld of medical conspiracy theories and dubious health products. It is heartening to see something being done to protect consumers' health and safety.* Speaking of someone doing something, Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh made headlines a month ago for blocking vehicles outside of an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, where she is running for office. Now, NBC reports she has been indicted by a special federal grand jury, “alongside five other people, including two other political candidates.” Abughazaleh responded to the indictment, writing “This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I'm not backing down, and we're going to win.” Her lawyer, Josh Herman, added, “This is a political prosecution that tries to turn dissent and First Amendment opposition to the Trump administration's cruel policies into a conspiracy…Kat has steadfastly opposed those policies and she will fight these charges with the same principled determination.” The defendants have not been arrested but will surrender to the court next week.* Finally, Palestine Legal has scored a major victory. The group reports that “The First Circuit…[has] ruled that pro-Palestinian slogans, encampments and criticism of Zionism is protected by the First Amendment -- tossing out a Zionist complaint targeting pro-Palestinian organizing at @MIT.” Furthermore, the court found that “Slogans such as From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, intifada revolution, and calling Israel's actions a genocide -- and more -- do not target Jewish or Israeli students on the basis of their identity… but target Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.” This is a win for the David side of the David and Goliath struggle between pro-Palestine student groups and the universities where they are organizing – which are themselves under immense pressure from the Trump administration to stifle pro-Palestinian speech. Hopefully, this gives organizers the necessary breathing room they need to regroup as the Trump-brokered ceasefire grows ever shakier.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

This year's mayor's race has been full of surprises, but none more significant than the rise of Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo entered the race as the heavy favorite yet lost the Democratic primary badly and now trails in the polls as an independent candidate. Despite his high unfavorable ratings, Cuomo isn't out of the running just yet. How did a 34-year-old Queens assemblyman make such a huge splash in such a short time? And does Cuomo have the ability to close Mamdani's lead and cross the finish line first on Tuesday? Susan Kang, an associate professor of political science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY) and a member, like Mamdani, of the Democratic Socialists of America, joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the twists and turns of the mayor's race, early voting numbers, and how the DSA helped elevate Mamdani into a national figure. She also spoke about how she first got involved in politics and what she hopes the next administration will bring to New York City.
