I was harassed, stalked, and swarmed by a pride mob while their bearded ringleader grabbed me as I tried to cover the Philadelphia Pride March. They followed us around and impeded our movement in an attempt to get us to leave and stop covering the march. When we refused...

Ramirez: But tonight, I want to talk to you about Donald Trump and his administration — and their abuse of power. They are abusing the power of government to prosecute dissent. They are abusing immigration enforcement to terrorize us. They’re abusing detention to punish our neighbors. They’re abusing the military to occupy our cities. They’re abusing federal resources to enrich their donors and campaign contributors. They’re abusing the justice system to silence survivors, discredit victims, and avoid accountability. We need to understand that everything Donald Trump and his cronies are doing is interconnected abuse — intended to intimidate us, control us, and try to destroy us. They want us small, and they want us silent. They have tried to silence us with chokeholds, full-body restraints, criminal charges, withheld care, reckless chases, people disappeared, and even executions. But let me tell you: today, in that gallery, my seat is empty — representing the more than 40 lives we have lost to the violence of the Trump administration. They want our resources, our freedoms, our lives to advance their imperialistic, fascist, authoritarian agenda. But here’s the thing: they can try to persecute us. They will try to terrorize us, punish us, occupy us, and discredit us. But they will never, ever silence us. Am I right? We are the legacy of leaders who look abusers in the eye and refuse to be silent — and we fight back. So tonight, I’m calling on us to remember who we are. We are being targeted by a regime that wants to break our resistance and make an example of us — because we are strong, we are powerful, and we are unafraid. We persist. We lift our voices. We defy their control. Because our resistance defies the State of the Union. And I can tell you tonight: the state of the resistance is strong.

The battles in Sweida, which everyone had heard about, took place. Some people came to us and told us that the Bedouin tribal sheikhs and the Druze sheikhs had agreed that we would remain brothers and that no problems would arise. Then they returned to us in the evening and told us not to leave our homes and that no one would harm us. I stayed in my home because I was going to work the next day. My husband and child stayed with me. My husband is sick and needs a joint replacement, so we did not leave. But our neighbors left their homes and fled the area. The next day, the Druze militia returned to our area and installed heavy weapons on a nearby hill, despite their promise not to harm us. They then targeted families and civilians in the neighborhood with mortar shells. We were directly targeted for two hours despite our attempts to flee the area. Then the Hajri militia searched every house individually, armed with handguns and rifles. They asked us if we had money, phones, weapons, or identification. We told them we were civilians, didn't have any weapons, and didn't know how to use them. My husband, a civilian, didn't know how to use them. I told them there was only a sick man and my child, and we were all trying to take shelter in our house. They told me I was now a prisoner. They also captured my husband and covered his face with the shirt he was wearing. I told them we were neighbors from Amad, and yesterday you had promised us safety and that we wouldn't be targeted. Why are you doing this to us now? They told me no. Then they did the same thing to the rest of the houses in the area. After that, someone came to us and, by chance, he knew my husband before. He hid us in one of the houses, gave us water to drink, and allowed my child to use the bathroom. He was kind and respectful, while the rest were just a criminal gang. Then they gathered everyone they had captured in the mosque. When I entered the mosque, I found many dead people. I found one of the children beheaded, and his mother was my neighbor. Did you see what happened? I saw them because the militia brought all the bodies to the mosque for burial. I saw one of our neighbors, who had difficulty moving due to rheumatism, and they shot him in the feet. Then they took him away, claiming they were going to treat him. Instead, they killed him in front of the mosque. This is what I saw with my own eyes. After that, because I was a nurse, they brought the injured to the mosque for treatment, even though they claimed they were taking them to the hospital. One of the family members was a doctor. I saw five of their injuries with my own eyes, all of them children. Then they made successive promises that they would release us that same day. The guards who escorted us were respectful. As for food, they offered us a cup of bulgur for every five people. I'm now trying to remember the details of what happened. There wasn't enough water, and we were over 1,000 prisoners. Why were they holding you? They told us we were prisoners, promising us they would release us. We held our belongings by the door, waiting for our release. Were they viewing you as civilian prisoners? We are prisoners of Of course. They held us captive so they could force us out of our homes and out of Sweida Governorate. I remember them asking me, "Why didn't you leave your home?" I told them you came to us yesterday, promised us safety, and told us not to leave our homes. out, so now they are asking why. When in reality, they wanted to forcibly displace us from our homes. Where are you now? We are now in Daraa Governorate. They brought us here today. 1/2 #SaveSweidaBedouins #AlHijriGangsKillChildren #Syria

Kennedy’s speech today concluded powerfully: “If we’re really going to end the chronic disease epidemic, we need to recognize the connection between the physical decrepitude that now badgers our citizenry and the pervasive spiritual malaise that has left so many young people feeling alienated, dispossessed, disconnected, purposeless, and hopeless. Spiritual and physical maladies thrive on one another; they feed on one another. Our overall wellness must begin with a spiritual question: how do we relate to ourselves, to each other, to our communities, and to the planet?” “Vested interests and malignant political actors profit and flourish when we are atomized and fragmented and uncertain, when we can be easily propagandized, when we live in fear and helplessness and victimization. These forces prefer to have us in terror and anxiety, which disable our capacity for critical thinking and make us more compliant and more credulous. They want us hiding from ourselves, to avoid our own shadows, and dulling our pain and loneliness through sedation and distraction. Yet inside of us, we know that love and self-knowledge are the only true paths to good health. Here at HHS, we need to take on the task of guiding our country and the world to question, towards skepticism, towards engagement, to discover our own paths to living our fullest lives, unleashing the potential in every one of us to make good personal choices that allow us to nourish, to heal, and to develop ourselves. Only this path will make us effective citizens in a democracy. This is decidedly the American identity that we want for our children and their children. Through our own example of dedication and integrity, we can inspire our country on the mission toward well-being and toward achieving our historic mission as an exemplary nation. The goals that I have for HHS—the goals of transparency, of informed choice, of integrity, of efficiency—are possible only with your help. This task before us is historic: to reverse a trend of worsening health that goes back 60 years. And I know that we can do it. I know a higher standard of health is possible. I know that because I remember a time that our country was the healthiest and most robust country on Earth. With your help and commitment, we can go back to that time. We can have that again. Now let’s get to work, and thank you all very much."

I am actually disgusted by this. I’ve had so many teachers that changed my life and put me in the right path, without them I don’t want to think about where I would be. These teachers are sharing how much money they have in their accounts on the par day. In a society where our teachers are guiding the minds of the future, the people who will be helping us when we are later in life. I don’t think they are appreciated enough nor is the compensation package up to par. It perplexes me how they they have to spend a crazy amount of money for their education, only to struggle to get by with a smile while still being generous enough to pay for the items our children need without being reimbursed for much of it. I think it’s time we create a change, I don’t think it’s fair we expect so much of them and they give so much to us only to relieve so little. I know people are going to argue with me and say well they chose to do it so if they aren’t happy with the pay, they can get another job. While that’s true, we would be in bad shape however if they ever chose to do that. Who would be teaching our kids and preparing them for the future. I think we focus too much on things that aren’t and shouldn’t be our priority while neglecting and overlooking a major issue right below our noses. Their jobs are important and our kids would fail without them so why are we treating them like they aren’t important? It’s because it’s easy for us to think of them as our babysitters for half the day. We treat them like Nannie’s who only watch our kids while we go to work and do things we enjoy. Maybe it’s time we revisit our roles in helping them achieve our goals.

#WATCH | Mumbai | Vaibhavi, who visited the beach shack Romeo Lane Vagator owned by the detained Luthra brothers in November, said, "I visited Romeo Lane in Vagator on 1st November with my cousins. We were 13 people in total... The club is built in such a way that it is very suffocating. It has only one entry and one exit, and that too at a height. So it is tough to enter and exit from that club. The staff spoke to us rudely and behaved inappropriately... When we were leaving the club around 3 am, a heavy chair was in our way. My cousin shifted it aside with his foot... The manager came to us and said, 'You are damaging the furniture; we should have thrown you out earlier. You don't have the status to be here.' He grabbed my cousin's collar and started speaking to us rudely. When we tried to apologise and leave, he called all the security personnel, the bouncers. They started chasing us and raised their hands at us. Since it was tough to leave that club, they chased us down and hit people in groups. They hit my sister on the chest, pushed her so badly that she fell down the stairs... They put up a barricade at the entry gate so we couldn't leave... When my brother removed it, a bouncer ran towards him with a rod and started hitting him badly... When I pushed the boiuncer to stop him, he hit me too... They were using such bad language towards us that I had never heard before... Since everyone was badly hurt, we decided to go to the Police station in the morning and not right away. I informed the Police, and they told us to come to the Anjuna Police Station the next day... Somehow, an FIR was filed after a lot of effort. I had included the names of both owners in my complaint, but the Police later removed them, saying they were not physically present when this incident occurred, so they are not at fault... If you don't take women's safety and tourist safety seriously, such incidents will keep happening in Goa..." (11.12)
