(The Center Square) – Kirk Bangstad is running out of options in his bid to become the Democrat candidate for governor in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted to keep Bangstad off the August primary ballot. The Commission didn’t specifically talk about or to Bangstad, but Tuesday’s vote comes after the commission ruled last week that he did not have enough valid signatures to make the ballot. Bangstad became famous for his “free beer” offer on Facebook. Bangstad wrote in April “we almost got #freebeerday," after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents dinner. "Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle,” Bangstad wrote. “We’ll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens." That prompted a Secret Service investigation. A few days later Bangstad announced his campaign for governor. WisPolitics reported Tuesday that Bangstad is planning to sue to try and make the August ballot, but he was silent about that on his Facebook page. Bangstad has also been excluded from this weekend’s Wisconsin Democrat State Convention. Bangstad was not given a speaking role at the convention, while the seven other candidates all got time on the stage. Bangstad has also been left out of the recently announced Democrat Primary debate. Channel 12 on Tuesday announced it will hold a late-July debate between the seven candidates on the ballot. That list includes candidates Mandela Barnes, Joel Brennan, David Crowley, Francesca Hong, Missy Hughes, Sara Rodriguez and Kelda Roys.

Islamabad - Individuare un terreno di cooperazione ed esplorare percorsi collaborativi per promuovere lo sviluppo inclusivo, la pace, la dignità e la prosperità nella società pakistana, pesantemente segnata dalla povertà e dal disagio socio-economico, con tutte le loro conseguenze. È questo l'obiettivo della partnership tra il Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund e la comunità cattolica della diocesi di Islamabad-Rawalpindi, sancita a Islamabad in un recente incontro che ha riunito rappresentanti religiosi e civili, riaffermando un impegno condiviso per ridurre la povertà e affrontarne le cause strutturali.Parlando dell'interconnessione tra fede e povertà, l'Arcivescovo Joseph Arshad, Pastore della diocesi di Islamabad-Rawalpindi, ha rimarcato che «la povertà non è mai solo una questione di numeri o statistiche; riguarda persone reali che meritano di essere viste, ascoltate e valorizzate». Invitando i presenti ad andare oltre i dati istituzionali, ha esortato a sviluppare «una maggiore empatia che riconosca il volto umano della sofferenza all'interno delle comunità vulnerabili». Ha inoltre affrontato il tema della sicurezza abitativa, sostenendo che «un tetto sicuro e stabile sopra la testa di una famiglia è un diritto fondamentale, conferito da Dio alla dignità umana». L'Arcivescovo immagina «un Pakistan più compassionevole, dove la vera pace non significhi soltanto assenza di conflitto, ma presenza di amore e collaborazione attiva, affinché nessuno sia escluso».Secondo le stime ufficiali, il tasso di povertà nazionale del Pakistan si attesta al 28,9%, in aumento a causa dell'elevata inflazione, del rincaro dei prezzi dell'energia e della compressione del reddito reale. Tuttavia, il Centro per le Politiche Sociali e lo Sviluppo , organismo indipendente, stima che la povertà coinvolga circa 105 milioni di persone: il 44,7% della popolazione vive infatti al di sotto della soglia di povertà, con percentuali più elevate nelle aree rurali rispetto a quelle urbane.In questo contesto, mons. Arshad ha sottolineato come le minoranze religiose in Pakistan siano spesso quelle che sopportano il peso economico maggiore e risultino maggiormente rappresentate nelle fasce più povere della popolazione. Secondo rapporti di gruppi per i diritti umani, ricerche socio-economiche e organizzazioni non governative, i cristiani pakistani soffrono livelli di povertà sproporzionatamente elevati e una marcata vulnerabilità socio-economica.L'elevato tasso di povertà è strutturalmente legato anche alla discriminazione nel mondo del lavoro. Nei centri urbani come Peshawar e Lahore, i cristiani occupano tra il 76% e l'80% dei posti a basso salario nel settore della pulizia urbana e della gestione delle fognature comunali. Inoltre, secondo i dati del Movimento per lo Sviluppo Nazionale e la Giustizia, il tasso di alfabetizzazione tra i cristiani è stimato attorno al 19%, rispetto a una media nazionale del 58%, contribuendo a intrappolare intere generazioni in un circolo vizioso di povertà sistemica.L'azione della Chiesa cattolica in Pakistan si concentra su interventi strutturali finalizzati ad affrontare le cause profonde della povertà, soprattutto in due ambiti: l'istruzione e la formazione professionale, considerate una fondamentale leva di riscatto sociale, e lo sviluppo economico attraverso il sostegno alla piccola impresa.L'istruzione è considerata la via più efficace per spezzare il ciclo della povertà, specialmente tra le minoranze cristiane. La Chiesa gestisce scuole di ogni ordine e grado e istituzioni universitarie aperte a tutti. Parallelamente promuove programmi di formazione professionale in settori quali il cucito, l'artigianato, l'informatica e la meccanica, rivolti soprattutto a giovani e donne.In questo modo viene incentivata la microimprenditorialità attraverso il sostegno alle piccole imprese e l'accesso al microcredito. Particolare attenzione è dedicata ai programmi per l'autonomia economica delle donne, considerata un elemento essenziale per lo sviluppo delle famiglie e delle comunità locali.

(The Center Square) - In response to Attorney General Nick Brown's call for daycares who felt harassed by journalists asking if they are actually providing services, a number of daycare owners called a hotline to allege harassment, a review of reports from the Washington Attorney General’s Office’s bias incident/hate crime hotline The Center Square obtained under state open records laws shows. But there were also calls criticizing elected officials for making journalism a "hate crime" and failing to look into fraud and saying the focus should be on U.S. citizens, the records, which did not have the names of complainants, show. In December, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI launched an investigation into fraud within Minnesota's social services and child care programs. In Washington state, The Center Square and other journalists visited numerous home-based daycare providers that received state subsidies to care for children but had no evidence of children, raising questions about whether they are legitimate businesses and the spending of tax money. A former federal agency regional manager wrote to the AGO that childcare fraud is “common,” but Brown issued a statement claiming the daycares had experienced “harassment” and received threats. He urged people to call the hotline or law enforcement if people showed up at their homes. "Showing up on someone’s porch, threatening, or harassing them isn’t an investigation. Neither is filming minors who may be in the home," he wrote in the statement. "This is unsafe and potentially dangerous behavior." Brown’s news release drew rebuke on X from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who said he’d have “some ‘splainin to do” if his office violated the First Amendment rights of journalists. Brown's staff denied that the release was directed at reporters. One of the messages sent from a Kent resident on Dec. 30 to the AGO hotline claimed harassment. “Two people came to my house. I was too scared to open ring camera," the caller said. "I run an at-home daycare. I was recorded without consent. There are children at the house, so I didn’t feel comfortable. They … spoke to my neighbor, came back twice. Asked if it was a Somali-owned daycare and ask if they ever seen daycare. Harassed me and my neighbor. Phone calls are threatening to kill me, deport me or feed me bacon.” Another report sent by a Seattle resident on Dec. 29 said a social media creator tried to determine the validity of the daycare. "A masked individual with a camera and microphone came to my childcare facility demanding paperwork to enroll a child," the caller said. "I informed him we were at capacity and offered to place him on a waitlist. He identified himself as a YouTuber attempting to record 'proof' that my daycare is fraudulent. I denied entry with recording equipment due to minors being present and directed him to my website for information." Other callers were critical of Brown for making journalism into a "hate crime." “Curious when investigative journalism became a hate crime," an undated message said. "People who do these things record it all. If they were harassing or threatening, they would catch themselves on film doing criminal acts…and be arrested. You need to do your jobs. This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of or seen. You’re not smart enough to have your position if you think these are the tactics to resort to if you are calling fraud and covering it up with calling it a hate crime. You guys are insane.” Another caller said the office should look at fraud where it exists. I “have to report AG Nick Brown and gov of WA and sec state for threats against journalists investigating Somali fraud and other fraud," the caller said. "I hope that the fed DOJ investigates and prosecutes you for civ rights violation. You are a bunch of haters and need to be removed from office. Take that and (put) it in your pipe and smoke it.” Other messages criticized Rep. Emily Randall, who said that white men should be the focus of investigations instead of Somalians. Her statements are “hateful bigoted comments [and] make me feel unsafe," the caller said. "The hypocrisy and double standards in this state are ridiculous. Don’t go look after obvious fraud and misuse of taxpayer money but do go after legal American citizens most notably white men.” “My government hates me for being white,” an Enumclaw resident wrote to the AGO hotline on Dec. 31. “They are actively sending money to Somali daycares and wasting my tax funds.” While a recent audit by the State Auditor’s Office found insufficient oversight by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families over its childcare subsidy program, Auditor Pat McCarthy has previously told The Center Square it does not intend to investigate potential fraud.

African security is conventionally analysed in terms of armed groups, peacekeeping, and counterterrorism. However, what increasingly shapes the political order African states can build is none of these. It is the rate at which states borrow money, in an architecture designed by their creditors. At a time when the multilateral peace and security architecture is losing support and credibility, the international financial architecture is emerging as a limiting factor for African sovereign autonomy. In the same way that the United Nations and its Security Council were designed when only four African states had achieved independence, the international financial architecture established […] The post African Security and a Financial Architecture in Retreat appeared first on African Arguments.
