is on a mission to stamp out Gen-Z’s growing support for left-wing ideas, and is turning to a hard-line neocon group for help in educating the youth on the “evils of communism.” In the latest front in the culture war over school curricula, the House of Representatives is set to vote Friday on a bill that would give a congressional stamp of approval to the lesson plans of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a group closely linked to fervently hawkish corners of the foreign policy blob. The Crucial Communism Teaching Act, also known as H.R. 5349, would direct the VOC Foundation to develop an educational curriculum it could offer to school districts to help instruct students on atrocities both historic and contemporary carried out by communist regimes. Inspiration for the bill came to its sponsor, Rep. María Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., when she learned of a 2020 survey — published, as it so happens, by the VOC Foundation — showing that 28 percent of Gen-Zers and 22 percent of millennials held favorable views of communism. “Communism is one of the most destructive political ideologies the world has ever seen,” Salazar said in a press release in September. “The Crucial Communism Teaching Act is important because our youth must remember the crimes of the communists, including those inflicted upon my constituents and their families in Florida’s 27th district.” The legislation, which Salazar explicitly modeled after a 2020 bill mandating the development of educational materials about the Holocaust, has largely flown under the radar, and response to it has been muted. But some Democrats in Congress have already raised concerns that the bill’s monomaniacal focus on communism would leave out important lessons about other forms of repression. “The bill neglects to mention our country’s long history of using the label ‘Communism’ to enflame, scare, and pit Americans against one another.” “The bill neglects to mention our country’s long history of using the label ‘Communism’ to enflame, scare, and pit Americans against one another,” said Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., in a Rules Committee hearing on the bill Tuesday. “If we want students to examine the effect of Communism on the world, it would be negligent not to warn against the dangers of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the vitriol of Joseph McCarthy, and the negative impact of the Red Scare on many innocent Americans, particularly those seeking racial progress in the Civil Rights era.” In an attempt to round out the focus of the bill, Scott and other Democrats put forward an amendment that would add lessons about the dangers of fascism, but it was unanimously rejected by GOP committee members. Despite the concerns of Democrats, the bill is expected to pass Friday with a healthy share of Democratic votes, according to Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa. “We will vote in favor of it, most of us, Democrats and Republicans, because it’s sort of a no-brainer vote,” said Houlahan, who declined to say how she would personally vote. “Of course —of course — we should decry communism and teach our young people about it.” over education have in recent years taken the form of and frenzied fights for control of . But the introduction of right-wing teaching resources is another tactic, with curriculum designed by organizations making their way into schools in Florida and Oklahoma. The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation has championed legislation passed in recent years in and that requires early and consistent education on the evils of communism, and would likely be well positioned to offer up its own curriculum as an easy way for schools to meet the new requirements for anti-communist education laid out in those states’ legislation. Related In Florida, educational standards already mandated that such lessons begin in 7th grade, but the new legislation, which Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in April, calls for it to begin as early as kindergarten. Representatives of the VOC Foundation did not respond to several requests for comment, but the group’s leadership has enthusiastically supported Salazar’s bill. At the VOC Foundation, meanwhile, work on a broad anti-communist civics curriculum is already underway. On its website, the VOC Foundation lists lesson plans covering the origins of communism — including to “take a student’s favorite pencil or pen, backpack, phone, etc.” and ask them to reflect on the confiscation of private property — up through the eve of World War II. While the full curriculum around World War II is not yet published — a number of planned chapters are listed as “Coming Soon” — the material available so far shows a laser focus on the atrocities of Communist forces, including repression of the clergy during the Spanish Civil War and the Katyn massacre of Polish prisoners of war by Soviet troops during the German-Soviet partition of Poland. Most Read goes into visceral details about the abuses of communist governments, but its research and curriculum, much of which touches on atrocities of World War II, barely mention the horrors of the Holocaust and other evils carried out by non-communist forces. This hyper-focus on communist atrocities has long been a hallmark of right-wing historical projects, and it has landed the group’s fellow travelers in the anti-communist movement in hot water in recent years. In Canada, a long-planned Memorial to Victims of Communism, funded in part by taxpayer dollars, has come under fire for its celebration of fascist collaborators in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The memorial’s list of victims at one point included tributes to Ante Pavelić, the Nazi puppet who presided over the Holocaust in Croatia, and Roman Shukhevych, a Ukrainian nationalist who murdered tens of thousands of Jews and other minorities during the war. That project, set to be unveiled — — on December 12 after years of delays, has roots in post-war efforts to form a right-wing answer to the Communist International, according to Dan Boeckner, an independent researcher who has focused on the movement in Canada. Under the guise of promoting freedom, organizations like the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations often acted as a vehicle for fascist emigres to regroup and exploit Cold War tensions — and legitimate grievances against communist dictators — in the West to rewrite history in a way that would equate communist atrocities with the Holocaust, Boeckner said. “They basically brain poisoned an entire generation or two of Canadians into thinking that the Soviets were the bad guys during World War II,” Boeckner told The Intercept. Join Our Newsletter Original reporting. Fearless journalism. Delivered to you. The VOC Foundation in D.C. is unaffiliated with Tribute to Liberty, the group behind the memorial in Canada, but it emerged out of the same global movement. Where the Canadian anti-communist crusade has been led by , the manifestation of the movement of the U.S. has instead been dominated by American hard-line “Cold Warriors” dedicated to advancing U.S. interests abroad. Founded in 1993 by congressional charter, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation is an offshoot of the National Captive Nations Committee, a Cold War advocacy group led by prominent conservative intellectuals and proponents of a belligerent stance toward the Soviet Union. Its founder, Lee Edwards, was a high-ranking member of the Heritage Foundation, and under his aegis, the group committed itself to carrying the torch into the 21st century to continue fighting a Cold War that, to the foundation’s leaders, never really ended. In 2022, the last year for which financial documentation is available, the group received nearly $4.5 million in government contributions and over the past five years has been awarded grants by USAID, the State Department, and the U.S. Embassy in Havana for efforts to highlight government repression in Cuba and China. In the past, it has also received funding from conservative grantmaking groups as well as from the , a state-funded nonprofit that has been accused of . In addition to its educational programs, the VOC Foundation each year issues the Truman-Reagan Medal of Freedom to individuals and organizations it considers as major figures in the fight for democracy and human rights. Past recipients of the medal include various dissidents and post-Soviet leaders of former Eastern Bloc nations, as well as , Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán, and weapons company Lockheed Martin. that H.R. 5349 is nonbinding and provides no funding mechanism for the VOC Foundation’s work, its passage would be a victory for Salazar, the daughter of Cuban exiles who has been trying to get the legislation through since 2021, when she introduced an earlier version of the bill that failed to gain traction. There is already a companion bill in the Senate introduced earlier this year by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La. Congressional insiders told The Intercept it was unlikely that Senate Majority Leader Schumer would move it forward in this session. And the decision by the House GOP majority to advance the bill to a floor vote at this moment at all has left some Democrats scratching their heads. “It’s interesting that this is the choice of what we have to vote on this week,” Houlahan said. “We have so much work to do in what remains of this Congress. We haven’t even funded the government — let’s start with that.”
NoneThe NFL on Thursday announced all 32 nominees for its annual Walter Payton Man of the Year award, and tight end Travis Kelce is the Chiefs’ representative. “I’m truly honored to be nominated as the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year,” Kelce said in a news release. “This organization and this city mean so much to me and to have the Chiefs nominate me again is special. Growing up in Cleveland Heights with supportive family and friends, I know the power of having people in your corner. It’s been incredible to be able to work towards providing that same support and inspiration to kids through Eighty-Seven & Running and our work with Operation Breakthrough and the Ignition Lab. “To see the inaugural class from the Ignition Lab getting ready to graduate is so special and something that I’ll cherish forever. I know how valuable hope and purpose is in those high school years, and these kids have really seized the opportunity. Being able to give back to the community here in Kansas City as well as show love to my hometown is not something I’ll ever take for granted. I’m forever grateful to represent Kansas City, the Hunt family, our fans and my foundation, and it’s an honor to be nominated.” The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Charity Challenge is back, too. Fans can vote online and on social media for their favorite nominee. Nationwide will donate $35,000 to the charity of the player with the most hashtag mentions and online votes. Here’s guessing Kelce will win by a landslide. That’s because fans of superstar singer Taylor Swift, who is dating Kelce, are already mobilizing to help get out the vote. Here is what some of those Swifties were sharing on X (née Twitter). How to vote Fans can vote on X by posting #WPMOYChallenge along with the last name/X handle of their chosen nominee or by voting directly on NFL.com/ManOfTheYear .

In an email yesterday at 5.24pm, addressed to Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre’s Shamima Ali, Permanent Secretary Eseta Nadakuitavuki, and the media, Ms Tabuya labelled the incident as a grim reflection of technology-facilitated gender-based violence, a crime impacting two-thirds of women and girls in Fiji. “There is nothing scandalous or illegal or immoral about sharing private videos and images between two consenting adults who are in a relationship, in this case me and my husband,” Ms Tabuya said. “It is the illegal obtaining and circulating of these private videos and images that is criminal. “Individuals and organisations circulating the private video of me trying to turn it into a scandal including media outlets claiming it will have negative effects on my position as the Minister for Women are perpetuating and promoting online violence as this is the very real experience that two thirds of our women and girls in Fiji face!” Sextortion and revenge porn The minister condemned acts like sextortion-where stolen or hacked private images are used to extort money-and revenge porn, where such material is maliciously shared to damage reputations. “These are crimes and it must stop,” she declared. “I represent every woman and girl who is dealing with this daily with their families in Fiji and it is my duty to continue to speak up against this crime, and even more so when I am personally facing it.” Ms Tabuya also lashed out at Fijivillage, accusing the media outlet of unethical journalism. She claimed it broke the story on its Face book page without verifying facts. “They lied about speaking to me before publishing,” she said. “I call on the Fiji Media Council to enforce ethical standards.” Legal action in motion Ms Tabuya revealed she has evidence against at least one individual who shared the video and intends to file a police complaint under the Online Safety Act and Crimes Act. She issued a stern warning to others distributing the material, stating they will face serious legal consequences. Prime Minister Rabuka has reportedly written to Ms Tabuya seeking an explanation but remained unavailable for comment when this edition went to press. Feedback: jone.salusalu@fijisun.com.fj
F or a reporter, it is always exciting and challenging to cover elections. There is plenty of ground to traverse, people to talk to, clues to pick up on, issues to report, and interviews to conduct. Reporting also involves observations and listening — for instance, to chatter in various places, such as tea stalls and village kattas (where people gather for conversions) — to gauge the mood. Before the recent Maharashtra Assembly elections , I heard diverse voices and issues across constituencies. Farmers spoke about crop losses, loan waivers, and Minimum Support Price. Young voters said they were frustrated about the job situation. Women spoke about inflation. In urban pockets, religious and caste polarisation, infrastructure issues, and the popularity of a few leaders dominated conversations. But to predict an outcome is a different game altogether. Yet, the inevitable question that journalists face from colleagues, family, friends, acquaintances, and even leaders during elections is “Who is going to win?” Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024: CSDS-Lokniti Survey Women sided with Mahayuti for Ladki Bahin Yojana’s monthly dole Mahayuti reaps the benefits of Centre’s schemes for farmers Digital and door-to-door campaigns, along with late deciders, shaped outcomes Amid weak execution, welfare may not have influenced Maharashtra vote At some point during this election, this became a common conversation starter as though reporters are privy to some secret knowledge about the numbers game. As voting day approached, the question was posed as a challenge — a friend even said, “If you are covering the polls, you should know the outcome, right?” I had some unhelpful stock replies: “Let’s wait and see” or “It is a tough fight”. None of this is surprising, especially since TV journalists often wade into the tricky waters of election forecasting. When people pose this question, the (wrong) assumption is that journalists are not the chroniclers, but architects of history. But with experience, I have learned to refrain from getting too entangled in the arithmetic of polls or predicting outcomes; that unenviable job is best left to political pundits. A seasoned journalist once told me, “In political journalism, the wind blows where it pleases. Our job is just to catch its scent.” While we managed to catch the scent — a broad spectrum of people, including women in rural areas, seemed to favour the Mahayuti alliance — predicting the scale of victory was trickier. It is safe to say that few imagined the scale of the Mahayuti’s victory. This was the case during the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections too. Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s YSR Congress Party won merely 11 seats out of 175, leaving many journalists and analysts stunned and scrambling to explain the extent of his defeat. The BJP got a historic mandate in Maharashtra with 132 seats , exactly 10 more than what the party had secured a decade ago. I heaved a sigh of relief for surviving another election cycle without sticking my neck out too far. But predictably, the question shifted and people began to ask, “Who is going to be the Chief Minister?” This is a relatively simpler question to tackle. In Maharashtra, the political grapevine had been buzzing for days and the name of one leader was floating about. But it is necessary to be cautious in this regard too, as politics always throws up surprises. In Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, for instance, leaders who were not in the race were suddenly sworn in as Chief Minister. Again, I did not commit to an answer. Related Stories Devendra Fadnavis back as Maharashtra CM, ‘to work together’ with deputies Eknath Shinde, Ajit Pawar Suspense prevailed before Shinde finally took oath as Deputy CM of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar breaks records as deputy CM, but his long quest for the top job remains unfulfilled This is not to say that there is no temptation to predict the outcome or reply with some confidence. But doing so or reporting certain events and statements too early can backfire, especially in a profession where credibility is currency. As my editor says, “It is not about breaking news; it is about breaking it right.” As the dust settles on another election, I know that it is okay to not answer some questions. Reporters are not here to speculate or foresee the outcome. We are here to report stories that matter the most to the people, to provide a balanced view of the political climate, and to catch the scent as it were. deshpande.abhinay@thehindu.co.in Published - December 06, 2024 02:45 am IST Copy link Email Facebook Twitter Telegram LinkedIn WhatsApp Reddit election / political campaigns

SBA Communications Corp. stock outperforms competitors on strong trading dayThe Apple AirTag is arguably among the company’s most useful product releases in recent years. Once you set up an AirTag, it gives you powerful options for locating it (and whatever you attach it to). Put one of Apple’s tracking tags on an item like a keychain or luggage, and you can easily track its location from your iPhone, Mac or iPad. Since AirTag’s launch, numerous reports have detailed how the tracking tag helped owners find lost items. If you recently acquired an AirTag, here’s how you can set it up the right way and use it properly. Like any other Apple device, setting up an is straightforward. Bring the tracking tag near your iPhone. If it is a new AirTag, remove the battery pull tab. A dialog box prompting you to the AirTag to your iPhone should automatically appear. Proceed to assign a name to the AirTag. You can select one from the list or enter one yourself. Despite its small size, AirTag is a marvel of engineering. It sends out a secure Bluetooth signal containing location data that can be detected by other devices on . The data is then shared with iCloud, allowing you to see the tracker’s location in the Find My app. Apple’s Find My network consists of hundreds of millions of devices across the world, each of which can help pinpoint an AirTag’s location. Still, all this happens anonymously, so you never need to worry about anyone else (or even Apple itself) knowing where your item is. Apple says an AirTag will last for more than a year. The good thing is that the battery is user replaceable — the tags use a standard CR2032 3V coin battery. Just , which can keep it from working with AirTag. There’s no way to check AirTag’s battery life, though. Apple initially provided this functionality in the Find My app but . Tracking your AirTag and the item attached to it requires using the Find My app. Open the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Navigate to the tab. All available AirTags linked to your account will be displayed here with the names you assigned to them. Tap on the AirTag to view its location. To get navigation directions to the AirTag and the item it is attached to, tap on . You can use the option to make the AirTag emit a sound. This will be useful if you are near the AirTag’s location but cannot find it. On iPhone 11 and newer models featuring Ultra Wideband support, you can take advantage of Precision Finding to easily locate your AirTag. You need to use the option, though it will only show up when your iPhone is within range of the AirTag. Once you tap the button, follow the on-screen instructions to get the precise location of the tracking tag. You can also set up . This will ensure that you automatically get a notification on your iPhone if you leave the tagged item behind. If you share a household with someone else, you’ll probably want to share your AirTag. Otherwise, if your roommate borrows your keys or your partner takes your luggage, they’ll be inundated with warnings that you might be tracking them. . After you set it up, go to , tap on the new AirTag and tap . You can tap on a recent contact or search for someone. If you don’t see this option, you need to update your phone to iOS 17. An AirTag can be shared with up to four other people. In case you cannot track your AirTag, or its location is temporarily unavailable, you can put it in Enabling this mode will prompt you to enter a phone number or email address and a short message. You also can automatically receive a notification when the AirTag’s location becomes available. If someone else finds your AirTag and the item tagged to it, they will see a notification on their iPhone or NFC-enabled Android phone with your message and the contact details you provided earlier. Open the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Head to the tab. Tap the AirTag you want to mark as lost. Scroll down and select the option under . Tap on the dialog box that pops up explaining Lost Mode. Proceed to enter the phone number for contacting you when someone else finds your AirTag. Alternatively, select the option and enter an email if that’s what you prefer. Tap . Enable the option if you want your iPhone to automatically inform you when the AirTag’s location is again known. Tap in the top-right corner. AirTag range AirTag has a limited range, but in the real world, Apple’s Find My network cleverly compensates for this. Because AirTag uses Bluetooth to connect to nearby Apple devices, the range is limited. Indoors, the range is about 30 feet (10 meters) and outdoors the range is about 100 feet (30 meters). However, because AirTag uses Apple’s Find My Network, it can connect to potentially millions of other iPhones, iPads and other compatible devices, greatly extended the range. To help conserve battery life, the AirTag’s Bluetooth beacon sends out a signal approximately every three to five minutes. When an iPhone participating in the Find My network comes within Bluetooth range of the AirTag (roughly 30-40 feet), it picks up the signal and anonymously relays the phone’s location to Apple servers via the Internet. For this to work, the phone must have an active Internet connection, either through Wi-Fi or cellular. The Apple servers then receive the location data, along with your AirTag’s ID, and forward it to the Find My app on your iPhone. So even if you misplaced your AirTag in Sydney, Australia, and took a flight to New York, it would still be detectable using the Find My network. No — at least not legally. AirTags are meant for tracking your items and pets. Laws strictly prohibit using an AirTag for monitoring a person without explicit permission. When you set up a new AirTag, Apple warns that, “Using this item to track people without their consent is a crime in many regions around the world.” Apple makes it clear that, at the request of law enforcement agencies, it will share the details of the Apple ID paired with an AirTag used for tracking a person without their consent. iPhone 11 and newer owners also can take advantage of Apple’s U1 chip with Ultra Wideband technology to find unwanted AirTags near them using Precision Finding. Your iPhone will automatically detect if an unwanted AirTag is moving with you. A notification will appear in the Find My app, and tapping on it will display the tag’s location. A map will show when the AirTag first appeared, and a red dashed line indicates the path you’ve taken with the AirTag nearby. You also can play a sound to help find the AirTag. Android users can download the from the Google Play Store. It scans for Find My-compatible item trackers using Bluetooth. The app will warn you when it finds an AirTag near you for at least 10 minutes. Besides, AirTags will automatically play a sound at a random time after being away from their owners for more than eight hours within a 24-hour window. You can scan an unwanted AirTag near you to determine if its owner has marked it as lost. Additionally, you should see the AirTag’s serial number and the last four digits of the phone number it is registered to. This can help you identify who the owner is. If not, you can share this detail with a law enforcement agency to help track down the culprit. How to reset AirTag For safety, an AirTag can only be linked to one Apple ID at a time. If you want to use an AirTag that someone else has already set up, they must first remove it from their Apple ID. If the previous owner removed the AirTag but was out of Bluetooth range, you’ll need to reset it before you can pair it with your device. To reset your AirTag, you need to remove the battery and reinsert it five times. Here’s how to do it: : Press down on the steel battery cover and rotate it counterclockwise. Remove the cover and take out the battery. : Put the battery back into the AirTag. : Press on the battery until you hear a sound, indication the battery is properly connected. : Repeat removing the battery and reinserting it four more times. Don’t forget to press on the battery until you hear a sound. You should hear a total of five sounds. The fifth sound will be different, signaling that the AirTag has been reset and is now ready to pair. : Align the three tabs on the cover with the three slots on the AirTag. Press down on the cover and rotate it clockwise until it stops. AirTags prove handy in daily use If you tend to lose things, forget stuff or carry precious items with you, I strongly recommend you buy some AirTags. Once you set up the AirTag properly, it will definitely come in handy. AirTags are far better than other tracking tags on the market, all thanks to Apple’s excellent Find My network.
