Tami Simon – Insights from the Edge

How to Have Kids and a Life (1:02:20)

Ericka Sóuter has over 20 years of journalism experience and is a nationally recognized voice in parenting news and parenting advice. A frequent contributor on Good Morning America and other national broadcast outlets, she regularly speaks on the issues, trends, and controversies that are most affecting parents and new families today. With Sounds True, Ericka has written a book called How to Have a Kid and a Life: A Survival Guide.



In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Ericka about what it means to be a parent today. They discuss why more and more parents are opening up about not just the joys but also the challenges of raising children—and how our definition of “good parenting” is changing as a result. Ericka brings realism and humor to this enlightening conversation, helping parents navigate the expectations versus the realities of parenthood as they tend to their own happiness. “Love is innate,” Ericka shares. “Parenting skills are not.”

The Final Straw Radio

TFSR will be subbing for Its Going Down from sister station KPFA in Berkeley; IGD is taking a break from their radio show for an indefinite period. Final Straw does a weekly podcast and radio version from the East Coast.



This week on the show, we’re featuring the voice of an anti-Zionist Jew living in lands occupied by the Israeli state. For the hour we speak about some of his experiences of trying to resist the ongoing war against Palestinians, collaboration with Palestinian comrades against the occupation, the silencing of dissent during the escalation by the Israeli state and other topics.



For a very thoughtful series of podcasts about the situation in Palestine, check out the two recent episodes of the Its Going Down podcast (https://itsgoingdown.org).

THOUSANDS OF QUEERS MARCH FOR PALESTINE IN MANHATTAN

Thousands of Queers March for Palestine in Manhattan

John Riley & Pauline Park will be discussing their participation in the recent Queer March for Palestine in Manhattan.

On Sunday, November 12, a crowd of young adults numbering between 2,000-2,500 gathered, rallied, and marched from Union Square to the Stonewall Inn, where they again rallied and then marched to Washington Square Park. We present a sampling of the speeches given at all 3 locations. Homemade signs expressing solidarity with Queer Palestinians and their freedom struggle were abundant.



"Pinkwashing" of Apartheid Israel's current genocide in Gaza by LGBT organizations and media outlets

Pauline Park and Naomi Brussel discuss the 'pinkwashing' of Israeli apartheid's current genocide in Gaza being conducted by some LGBT community-based organizations and media outlets. They discuss the national and local LGBTQ organizations and New York's Gay City News, and the Washington Blade, and some of the reasons for the positions.

Pinkwashing is the attempt by the Israeli government and some organizations to mislead the public by focusing on a few pro-queer reforms by the Israeli state to distract from gross human rights violations by the Israeli government.

Colonialism Today: From The Crisis in Congo to Capsizing Boats in the Mediterranean

Be it in the Mediterranean or the heart of Africa in Congo, colonialism isn’t past, it’s a modern-day disaster. In the first half of the show, journalist and activist Eugene Puryear joins us with information on the so-called “silent holocaust” taking place in the Congo where some 6 million people have died as nations across the region and the world vie for the more than $24 trillion worth of natural resources within Congo’s borders. Then, Giulia Messmer from Sea Watch explains her organization’s rescue work in the Mediterranean, how European nations are moving to criminalize migration, cross-border solidarity, and more.

US Obligation to The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights



A United Nations body has issued a damning report blasting the United States for its rampant violations of a major human rights treaty that it ratified in 1992. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, or ICCPR, enshrines fair trial rights, the right to life, to vote, and to freedom of expression and assembly. It prohibits torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. It also forbids discrimination in the enjoyment of civil and political rights based on race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status (which includes sexual orientation).

The Human Rights Committee is a group of 18 independent experts that monitor the implementation of the ICCPR by its States Parties, each of whom files periodic reports on their progress in implementing the obligations in the treaty.



In its November 3, 2023 report on U.S compliance with the ICCPR, the Human Rights Committee found 30 some violations of the treaty by the United States. Racial discrimination permeated two-thirds of the documented U.S. violations.



In addition to discrimination based on race, the Committee found several instances of discrimination against women, particularly in the area of reproductive rights. The Committee also found discrimination on the basis of real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.



Guest - Marjorie Cohn is professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, former president of the National Lawyers Guild, and a member of the national advisory boards of Assange Defense and Veterans for Peace, and the bureau of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers. Her books include The United States and Torture: Interrogation, Incarceration, and Abuse and Drones and Targeted Killing: Legal, Moral and Geopolitical Issues. Marjorie is founding dean of the Peoples Academy of International Law. Her article about the report of the Human Rights Committee was published last week by Truthout.



Voices of Mass Incarceration: A Symposium



Opening with a keynote discussion featuring Angela Davis, Pam Africa, Julia Wright, and Johanna Fernndez, the event featured two dozen experts and artists working and studying incarceration and its wide-ranging effects on society. The second day of the symposium also marked the opening of the Mumia Abu-Jamal papers for research at the John Hay Library with the launch of the exhibit, Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Portrait of Mass Incarceration. This exhibition centers on the writing, music and art of Mumia Abu-Jamal, whose papers anchor the John Hay Library’s Voices of Mass Incarceration in the United States collection. Mumia has been imprisoned for 43 years for allegedly killing Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.



One of the panels focused on how systemic changes have strained the existing healthcare system. With 44% of prison detainees receiving a psychiatric diagnosis, prisons are now among the largest providers of healthcare, more so than major hospitals and other care facilities.



We are pleased to bring you the remarks of Hope Metcalf, Lecturer at Yale Law School, on medical care for incarcerated individuals including mental health and hepatitis C. Well also hear from Lauren Weinstock, Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University.



Hosted by attorneys Heidi Boghosian and Marjorie Cohn

Mothering Earth

When you think of perennial crops, you may think of fruit or nut trees, not plants like wheat or rice, which are traditionally planted every year. An organization called The Land Institute, based in Salina, Kansas is hoping to change that. They have been at work developing perennial grain and legume crops.



You may wonder why? Perennial crops have many advantages. They have economic and environmental benefits by requiring less, or no, pesticides and fertilizers, and they can reduce carbon pollution, prevent erosion of the soil and, like trees, hold carbon in the soil. Salwa Khan, Ph. D. inerviews Tammy Kimbler, Chief Communications Officer, The Land Institute



The mission of Mothering Earth is to bring you stories of people taking action for a sustainable world.

Mothering Earth is built on the belief that one person can have a powerful impact in confronting important issues that affect the environment.



To that end, we find interesting people who have expertise in a field related to living gently and sustainably on our sweet Earth, and have them share their stories and knowledge with me and you.
