Rights Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Still Contested, Officials Say
Whether people have rights based on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) remains highly contested among United Nations member states. A recent panel organized by the Orville H. Schell Jr. Center for International Human Rights featured two officials who discussed the polarized environment the divide creates. However, many states still reject the idea that SOGI rights are part of the human rights framework, Reid said. Reid noted that an upcoming resolution addressing extrajudicial killings is written specifically to protect individuals targeted for their sexual orientation or gender identity. However, it would be incorrect to say that the West is always on the side of SOGI rights advocacy.

With 'Squid Game 2' and 'The Leopard,' Netflix doubles down on international appeal
On Monday, Netflix showcased its latest slate of international original programs, which are a key part of its strategy to attract and retain subscribers around the world. The Los Gatos, California-based streamer's strategy is to create local-language shows and movies that appeal to audiences in specific individual markets and regions. If those programs blow up in popularity, Netflix can use its platform to book them in other countries including the U.S., which is what happened with the first " Squid Game " season and the Spanish-language thriller "Money Heist." Audiences on Netflix have embraced international programming as viewers have become increasingly accustomed to reading subtitles at home. The prime example of the strategy working is "Squid Game," which captured 265.2 million views in its first 91 days on Netflix, according to company data.

How Trump's cabinet picks could upend the confirmation process
When it comes to Trump's Cabinet picks, most of them so far are anything but ordinary. Those anything-but-routine picks upend another normal: the confirmation process. Traditionally, the Senate would hold hearings to vet nominations — and it may for uncontroversial picks, such as North Dakota Gov. And if so, how would that Christian nationalism affect Trump's recent announcement to use the military to aid mass deportations? He's just another guy with sex allegations that he denies, being defended by a bunch of guys with allegations of their own.

Tyrese Maxey called out Joel Embiid about being late "for everything" during team meeting
The loss to the Heat was the fourth in a row for the 76ers, sparking veteran guard Kyle Lowry to call for the meeting — a much-needed heart-to-heart and a call to action and urgency, sources told ESPN, in which both players and coaches held each other accountable and took fault in the start to the season. In the meeting, Tyrese Maxey challenged Joel Embiid to be on time to team activities, calling out the former league MVP about being late “for everything” and how it impacts the locker room, from other players to the coaching staff, sources briefed on the meeting told ESPN.Source: ESPN

Opinion: I spoke to college students after the election. Here’s how to make them care more about politics
As luck would have it, after the election I found myself giving a lecture to between 40 and 50 students at an American University media and public policy class. So many of them didn’t understand how so many in this country could knowingly vote for a man and a political party that want to take away their rights and control their bodies. AdvertisementAs I spent these few hours with them, it was clear that these students feel unseen by the political system. Every election cycle, everyone asks how to get young Americans to turn out more robustly, to engage and activate. After talking with these students, I think the answer is simple: Engage them like adults.

OPINION: Left Populism Might Be Our Only Path Forward
Instead, I hope to report some successes in this election and to wishcast some favorable indicators of areas where the American public has voted in favor of policies largely in line with left populism. Public education is the first among these issues to feature a decisive turn towards public institutions. Kentuckians’ support for public education was won by a landslide. All three states, two red and one blue, voted for public education. Pew Research shows the support of abortion in 2024 at 63%–a percentage that has shown an upward trajectory since 2009.

Erika Donalds, congressman’s wife and DOE foe, floated as possible Trump cabinet pick
“[The Department of Education] has completely failed and therefore it should be eliminated,” Donalds said on Fox News Radio last week. Donalds now provides management services to four charter schools as well as an “online academy,” according to her company website. All are closely aligned with Hillsdale College, which develops conservative, or “classical,” curriculum for charter schools across the country. Any pay Donalds has received from OptimaEd isn’t known, but she listed a 2022 salary of $183,326 from the Optima Foundation. Fox News’ Pete Hegseth, Trump nominee for Secretary of Defense, touts the Optima Foundation.
