Father John Heagle and “Priests Against Genocide”
Q: What happened to Amal Khalil and why is it significant for Lebanon's press freedom?

Father John Heagle and “Priests Against Genocide”
Q: What are the concerns with the private AI tribunal proposed by objection.ai and how could it affect journalists?
Eva Galperin describes objection.ai as a tool that monetizes harassment of reporters, uses ex-intelligence personnel, and could coerce sources and editors by offering a paid, opaque 'truth' verdict that bypasses traditional First Amendment protections.
Father John Heagle and “Priests Against Genocide”
Q: How does Priests Against Genocide view its role in continuing the liberation theology lineage and confronting empire today?
Father John Hegel explains that liberation theology provides a direct lineage to modern nonviolent activism, arguing that the church must challenge empire and intervene on behalf of the most vulnerable, rather than focusing solely on abortion as a moral issue.

Q: How is IITC pushing back to ensure that free prior and informed consent isn't bulldozed by the climate agenda?
