Oversharing Kids Online: Why “Sharenting” Hurts More Than It HelpsParents are posting more than ever—but at what cost to their children's privacy, safety, and sense of self? In this episode, Andrew and Caroline tackle the growing issue of “sharenting:” the habit of sharing too much about kids online. From cute toddler photos to venting about behaviour problems, they explore how these seemingly harmless posts can lead to embarrassment, digital footprints kids never consented to, and long-term risks to self-esteem and identity.They unpack why parents overshare, what children actually think about it, and how to set healthy digital boundaries at home. With humour, honesty, and real-life examples, this episode invites everyone to rethink how we use technology and model online responsibility.Homework IdeasAudit your social media — scroll back through old posts and delete or archive anything that shares personal or potentially embarrassing info about your child.Family discussion: ask your kids how they feel about photos or stories shared about them. Give them veto power going forward.Define your “why” — before posting anything, pause and ask: Why am I sharing this? Who benefits?Create a private space — set up a small, closed photo-sharing album (like Google Photos, Cluster, or Family Album) for grandparents or close family.Replace online time with connection time — trade 15 minutes of scrolling for a walk, board game, or family check-in.Other ideas to protect your child's privacy:American Psychological Association (APA): Guidelines on Children's Digital PrivacyCommon Sense Media: Family Media Agreements and Privacy TipsCybertip.ca: Parent resources for online safety and digital consentSend us a textEnjoying the show?

Hamas Violates Ceasefire and Maintains Political Control Guest: Jonathan Conricus Jonathan Conricus states that Hamas is systematically violating the ceasefire, deliberately stalling the release of hostages' bodies to maintain political leverage against Israel. Hamas is internally working to settle scores and communicate that they are "here to stay" as a governing force. Conricus notes that the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian terrorists, including experienced operatives, significantly increases the likelihood that they will eventually resume terror activities.

  As we head into the final stretch of 2025, we're back on the mic to tackle some of the most common questions we hear about accountability advocacy. Whether your organization is calling out broken promises, uplifting community voices, or demanding action from those in power, this episode is all about giving nonprofit organizations the clarity, confidence, and tools to hold public officials accountable boldly and legally.    Attorneys for this episode  Natalie Ossenfort  Monika Graham  Victor Rivera    Shownotes Can 501(c)(3) organizations participate in protests or rallies that are critical of the current administration without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status?  Yes, 501(c)(3) organizations can legally participate in protests or rallies that are critical of the current administration or its recent decisions as long as the advocacy connects to the organization's charitable purpose and the activities remain nonpartisan.  What's Allowed:  Protesting specific policies, laws, or actions taken by elected officials or government agencies  Organizing or participating in rallies that align with the organization's mission (e.g. immigrant rights, environmental justice, LGBTQ+ protections)  Naming elected officials and holding them accountable for their actions taken in their official capacity  Consulting with counsel about applicable laws and best practices  What's Not Allowed:  Endorsing or opposing a candidate running for office, including incumbents up for reelection, even implicitly like connecting a stance on a specific issue and a political party or candidate (e.g. "Vote Pro-Choice")  Participating in protests that are clearly organized by or for/in coordination with candidate campaigns or parties  Timing a protest to coincide with an election with the intent to influence the outcome  Violating any federal, state, or local laws, engaging in criminal activity such as unlawful assembly, disorderly conduct, obstruction of law enforcement, or inciting or aiding illegal acts    As the new Supreme Court term begins, are 501(c)(3)s allowed to educate the public about pending cases? What about organizing social media campaigns in response to recent decisions?  Yes, 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely allowed to educate the public about Supreme Court cases, including pending decisions, and to organize social media campaigns in response to recent rulings.  But it may be wise to exercise best practices to ensure the work remains in compliance with IRS rules and regulations.   What's Allowed:  Explaining the case's impact on the organization's mission and/or the community it serves  Highlighting real stories, lived experiences, and systemic impacts to make the stakes unmistakably clear  Publishing statements, issuing press releases, writing blog posts, speaking to the media, and launching social media campaigns to share the organization's position on an issue   Drafting or joining others in filing an amicus brief   What's Not Allowed:   Using language that directly or indirectly supports or opposes a candidate or group of candidates.   Statements suggesting how to vote in an upcoming election in response to a Supreme Court (or other court's) decision.  To what extent can 501(c)(3) organizations engage in accountability advocacy? Are there specific guidelines when it comes to holding power accountable?    Yes, 501(c)(3) organizations can engage in accountability advocacy so long as the work remains nonpartisan and mission aligned. Holding public officials accountable for the impact of their actions is not political; it's principled. And it is not only legal, but a vital expression of a nonprofit's responsibility to the communities it serves.  What's Allowed:   Criticizing or praising policies, actions, and decisions made by public officials  Demanding transparency, equity, and accountability from Congress and administrative agencies  Using creative, nonpartisan ways to engage in advocacy through art and collaboration (e.g. Create a "Wall of Faces" featuring images and stories of people who have been personally impacted by recent policy changes)  What's Not Allowed:   Using language that suggests an elected official is not well suited for public office  Linking policy criticisms directly to upcoming elections or campaigns  Explicit or subtle suggestions about how individuals should vote in response to an elected official's actions    If you had to make one recommendation for groups wanting to engage in accountability advocacy, what would it be?  Engage responsibly during election season: As you may know, Nov. 4 is election day in many places so we just wanted to give a friendly reminder that while 501(c)(3) organizations cannot support or oppose candidates, they can participate in nonpartisan activities—such as voter education, Get Out the Vote (GOTV) efforts, and issue awareness campaigns—focused on empowering voters and strengthening civic participation. Remember to only share materials or resources that are 501c3-safe and to train your staff and volunteers before engaging in an election-related activity.  Stay mission-aligned and consistent: Focus your advocacy on issues that directly reflect your organization's mission, and comment on them consistently (not just when an election is near)  Get loud and amplify your message: Use social media strategically to highlight your stance, mobilize supporters, and hold decision-makers accountable. Remember, it is an inexpensive yet powerful way to expand your reach and impact.     Resources Rules of the Game: A Guide to Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3) Organizations  Influencing Public Policy in the Digital Age  Accountability Advocacy for 501(c)(3)s   ROTG #142: SCOTUS Term Preview and Advocacy for 501(c)(3)s  Haunted by the Chaos?

The Hamas terrorist organization has already violated the U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal with Israel by failing to give back the bodies of the Israeli hostages they murdered in captivity. At the same time, Hamas terrorists ambushed and killed two Israeli soldiers HY"D on Sunday. Israel retaliated, but only hours later, said it was re-instituting the ceasefire. On this week's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that no doubt Hamas will see how far they can push Israel and get away with it without the Jewish state declaring the deal null and void.

This week I am going to stick with some local Sevier County issues, but those issues have a national implication. The free speech that is being silenced is being conducted by none other than the state representative for Tennessee House District 12, Fred Atchley. Additionally, it would seem that the County Sheriff has decided not to follow his oath. Guess what though - they both belong to the same group of people, yep the Good Old Boy network that have controlled Sevier County for nearly 50 years now.

They discuss their initial impressions, ratings, and the film's plot, which diverges significantly from its predecessors. The conversation covers character analyses, particularly focusing on Ares, Eve, and Dillinger, highlighting the film's themes, visual effects, and storytelling flaws. The hosts express their disappointment with the film's lack of depth and connection to the original Tron narrative, ultimately questioning the necessity of its existence within the franchise.

Theologian Miroslav Volf reflects on solitude, loneliness, and how being alone can reveal our humanity, selfhood, and relationship with God.This episode is part 1 of a 5-part series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.“Solitude brings one back in touch with who one is—it's how we stabilize ourselves so we know how to be ourselves with others.”Macie Bridge welcomes Miroslav for a conversation on solitude and being oneself—probing the difference between loneliness and aloneness, and the essential role of solitude in a flourishing Christian life. Reflecting on Genesis, the Incarnation, and the sensory life of faith, Volf considers how we can both embrace solitude and attend to the loneliness of others.He shares personal reflections on his mother's daily prayer practice and how solitude grounded her in divine presence. Volf describes how solitude restores the self before God and others: “Nobody can be me instead of me.” It is possible, he suggests, that we can we rediscover the presence of God in every relationship—solitary or shared.Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us WorseFyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and PunishmentRainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours (Buch der Stunden)Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Creation and FallEpisode Highlights“Nobody can be me instead of me. And since I must be me, to be me well, I need times with myself.”“It's not good, in almost a metaphysical sense, for us to be alone. We aren't ourselves when we are simply alone.”“Solitude brings one back in touch with who one is—it's how we stabilize ourselves so we know how to be ourselves with others.”“Our relationship to God is mediated by our relationships to others. To honor another is to honor God.”“When we attend to the loneliness of others, in some ways we tend to our own loneliness.”Solitude, Loneliness, and FlourishingThe difference between solitude (constructive aloneness) and loneliness (diminishment of self).COVID-19 as an amplifier of solitude and loneliness.Volf's experience of being alone at Yale—productive solitude without loneliness.Loneliness as “the absence of an affirming glance.”Aloneness as essential for self-reflection and renewal before others.Humanity, Creation, and RelationshipAdam's solitude in Genesis as an incomplete creation—“It is not good for man to be alone.”Human beings as fundamentally social and political.A newborn cannot flourish without touch and gaze—relational presence is constitutive of personhood.Solitude and communion exist in dynamic tension; both must be rightly measured.Jesus's Solitude and Human ResponsibilityJesus withdrawing to pray as a model of sacred solitude.Solitude allows one to “return to oneself,” guarding against being lost in the crowd.The danger of losing selfhood in relationships, “becoming echoes of the crowd.”God, Limits, and OthersEvery other person as a God-given limit—“To honor another is to honor God.”Violating others as transgressing divine boundaries.True spirituality as respecting the space, limit, and presence of the other.Touch, Senses, and the ChurchThe sensory dimension of faith—seeing, touching, being seen.Mary's anointing of Jesus as embodied gospel.Rilke's “ripe seeing”: vision as invitation and affirmation.The church as a site of embodied presence—touch, seeing, listening as acts of communion.The Fear of Violation and the Gift of RespectLoneliness often born from fear of being violated rather than from lack of company.Loving another includes honoring their limit and respecting their freedom.Practical Reflections on LonelinessQuestions Volf asks himself: “Do I dare to be alone? How do I draw strength when I feel lonely?”The paradox of social connection in a digital age—teenagers side by side, “completely disconnected.”Love as sheer presence—“By sheer being, having a loving attitude, I relieve another's loneliness.”The Spiritual Discipline of SolitudeVolf's mother's daily hour of morning prayer—learning to hear God's voice like Samuel.Solitude as the ground for transformation: narrating oneself before God.“Nobody can die in my place… nobody can live my life in my place.”Solitude as preparation for love and life in community.About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the Henry B.

Today on AOTA Shorts: Haters call them the “University of Spoiled Children” but USC isn't doing themselves any favors these days with a brazen violation of the new CA law banning donor and legacy status being used as a factor in the college admissions process even at private universities in the state. USC will have to share data on legacy and donor admits, and will be placed on the state DOJ website for what can be described as a proverbial slap on the wrist.

NATO's airspace is busy these days. And not in a good way. That's especially true for member nations on the alliance's eastern flank.It's not supposed to be that way. In recent weeks, states like Poland, Estonia, Romania, and Denmark have seen drones or other aircraft violate their airspace. In some cases, these airborne craft clearly identify they're Russian in origin.Multiple countries have called on NATO to consult about what to do next. So, what's going on? What is Russia up to?Find more of our programs online.

Saturday, 13 September 2025   And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. Matthew 13:7   “And others, it fell upon the thorns, and they ascended, the thorns, and they choked them” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus described how the seed that fell on the rock-like areas scorched and withered. He now turns to another category, saying, “And others, it fell upon the thorns.”   Thorns in Israel are about as bad as they get. They are everywhere, and they come in a seemingly unlimited number of torturous varieties. When God cursed the earth and said that it would produce thorns and thistles (Genesis 3:18), it seems He was specifically highlighting this promised curse in the land of Israel.   Everyone listening would understand His words. The sower is out spreading seed. As he does, some of it falls on the uncleared area where thorns had not been fully removed through burning or tilling. They may not be evident if the tops were burned off, but the roots remained because they weren't in the main part of the field that was fully tilled and cleared.   Leaving thorns around a field can have a positive purpose, such as keeping out unwanted creatures, but once the seed falls into such an area, there is no going back and picking it out. It is there for the duration. Once cast there, Jesus says, “and they ascended, the thorns, and they choked them.”   Like dominant plants in any area, those that are hardiest will overcome those that are not. Thorns don't need much water to thrive. They get started early, and when the rains come, they are already prepared to speedily grow beyond whatever else is in the soil. As such, the grain cannot compete against the thorns, and they become choked out, never reaching maturity. Vincent's Word Studies notes the words of Ovid that closely match Jesus' words of these past verses –   "Now the too ardent sun, vow furious showers, With baleful stars and bitter winds combine The crop to ravage; while the greedy fowl Snatch the strewn seeds; and grass with stubborn roots, And thorn and darnel plague the ripening grain." Metamorphoses   Life application: If you go to Israel on a vacation, business trip, tour, or whatever, be sure to have long pants and appropriate shoes if you plan on going for walks in the fields or mountains.   There are thornbushes, thistles, scratchy weeds, etc., all over the place. One can have a jillion lacerations after a short walk through an area that was not cleared. Many of these look innocuous until you step into them. Once you do, it is painful just trying to back out.   This is true throughout the world. The curse that was pronounced at the beginning has continued to be proven true throughout human history. In Israel, a land that is still being reclaimed after two thousand years of inactivity due to the curses of the law being brought to bear against the people for rejecting Jesus, every hill that remains unoccupied bears a reminder of the curse.   Slowly, Israel is subduing these areas and rebuilding towns and villages in the wilderness. Where they haven't, the walk may appear beautiful and an exciting challenge when viewed from a distance, but once you get into the area, you may find yourself wishing you had gone to Tahiti or even to North Korea... anywhere but the painful hill you are walking on.   So be careful if you go. If you remember to avoid such pitfalls, you should probably have a great adventure as you enjoy the land where Jesus walked.   Lord God, it will be really great when we are given a new place to set our feet, one without thorns, thistles, poison ivy, and harmful critters. Violating one law brought about all of this and so much more. But we know that through the grace of Jesus Christ, what we willnow experience will be more wonderful than we can imagine. Thank You for this sure hope we possess. Amen.  

Answer: probably zero. As astonishing as it might seem among all the other astonishing outrages in today's America, it turns out that there is no legal way to stop Trump's unprecedented financial profiteering from his presidency, even when it damages the nation's interests. Only society's norms — stronger than the laws — could have prevented it in earlier times when Americans had higher values. Walter Shaub, former head of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, details Trump's corruption in a gripping, distressing conversation. And he has urgent advice for government employees who do, despite Trump, want to act ethically.

Poland's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said that Russian drones “did not veer off course” but deliberately targeted Polish airspace, as he called out “lies and denials” from Russia.

A gag order, also known as a judicial gag order, is a legal order issued by a judge that restricts or prohibits certain individuals involved in a legal case from speaking about or disclosing certain information to the public or the media. It is typically employed to ensure a fair trial or to protect the integrity of ongoing legal proceedings.The purpose of a gag order is to prevent potential prejudice or bias that may arise from pretrial publicity or excessive media coverage.By limiting the dissemination of information, a gag order aims to safeguard the right of the accused to a fair trial and maintain the impartiality of the jury.A judge may impose a gag order on various parties involved in a case, including the prosecution, defense attorneys, witnesses, and even the media. The specific terms and scope of a gag order can vary, but it commonly restricts individuals from discussing case-related details, evidence, or opinions outside of the courtroom.Gag orders can be broad, prohibiting all communication on a case, or they can be more specific, focusing on certain topics or individuals. Violating a gag order can result in contempt of court charges, fines, or other legal consequences.While gag orders are intended to protect the legal process, they can also raise concerns about freedom of speech and the public's right to information. However, judges may consider the potential impact on the fairness of the trial or the privacy rights of those involved when deciding to issue a gag order.In this epsiode, we are diving into the court documents once again and we are taking a look at the amended gag order, order graning motion to take judicial notice of press coverage, order granting motion to intervene for limited purpose and the order reserving the issue of cameras in the courtroom.(commercial at 8:10)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:06232023 Revised Amended Nondissemination Order.pdf (idaho.gov)source:06232023 Order Granting Motion to Take Judicial Notice of Press Coverage.pdf (idaho.gov)source:06232023 Order Granting Motion to Intervene for Limited Purposes.pdf (idaho.gov)source:06232023 Order Reserving Ruling on the Issue of Cameras in the Courtroom.pdf (idaho.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The federal judges are trying their best to protect the American people against Donald Trump's lawlessness and unconstitutionality. In a recent court ruling, DC Federal District Judge Emmet Sullivan - not only ruled that the Trump administration violated a federal statute that requires transparency and public disclosure about how the executive branch is spending ("apportioning") the people's tax dollars, but he directly and pointedly told the Trump administration, "stop violating the law!"In a very real sense, the federal judges are protecting the American people from an administration that is knowingly and intentionally acting in ways that violate the our federal laws.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but has now accused both countries of violating it. Reuters has the latest. What to know about New York City’s mayoral primary, and the unique ranked-choice voting system that will decide the next mayor. Laura Nahmias with Bloomberg News has the details. Wyatt Myskow with Inside Climate News reports that congressional Republicans’ proposed federal budget would cut millions from national parks, as part of the Trump administration’s broader attack on public land. Plus, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can resume deportations to “third countries,” a study found that abortions are rising three years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, and the world’s largest camera delivered extraordinary new pictures of space. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

It looks like Donald Trump's Department of Justice lawyers just can't stop violation court orders. The presiding Judge, Paula Xinis, has granted Abrego Garcia's legal team's request to pursue sanctions for the DOJ's violation of court- ordered discovery. As the Fox network (of all places) wrote: " Federal judge delivers one-two punch to Trump in Abregao Garcia case."
