The announcer who blamed his racism on diabetes? That’s the Oklahoma I grew up in | Basketball | The Guardian
The ugly racial past and present of Tulsa can never be forgotten: from the Tulsa Race Massacre and torching of Black Wall Street, to police officer Betty Shelby killing Terence Crutcher and getting away with it, to the vitriolic images of Trump supporters outside his rallies during the 2016 campaign (at the Mabee Center where I was harassed), to Trump’s super-spreader Juneteenth rally last summer at the Bok Center downtown, to Friday’s video broadcasting a moment of hate to the entire world. But to see Black and white high school girls taking a knee together in defiance of hate is enough to make me believe in a better tomorrow.
Gold mine near Death Valley sparks controversy – Los Angeles Times
On a recent weekday, Bryan Hatchell, 27, desert policy associate for the nonprofit Friends of the Inyo, and Jeremiah Joseph, 36, a cultural expert for the Lone Pine Paiute Shoshone Tribe, led a group on a hike across two miles of scruffy mountains and sweeping plains managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to an area where the group of Canadian investors has launched an exploratory drilling program. Their concern was that Conglomerate Mesa — a remote swath of ancestral tribal lands where the explosions of thunderstorms are the loudest noises one hears — will feel the constant rumble of earth movers over networks of service roads and utility corridors connecting heaps of ore and mining equipment.

Myanmar security forces kill 20 protesters in Yangon
Myanmar security forces shot dead at least 20 people participating in anti-coup demonstrations in Yangon on Sunday, local media reported.
Video footage showed gunshots ringing out in Bago, with citizens fleeing into narrow alleys and others carrying away the injured.
Meanwhile, a group of politicians from ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy formed a parallel civilian government in defiance of the coup.
In a video message posted online Saturday, “acting vice president” Mahn Win Khaing Than pledged to abolish the 2008 Constitution that ensures the military’s role in politics and to work toward forming a federal democratic union.
The former upper house speaker said citizens’ resistance is being tested and that all nations must work together to end the military dictatorship.
“It is indeed a darkest time for our country but it is also the time before the dawn for us,” he said, while calling the uprising “an opportunity to strive for forming of a federal democratic union desired by all of our ethnic brothers and sisters who suffered the atrocities of the military rule for decades.”

Just around the corner!
“How do you know love is right around the corner?”
“I keep catching myself smiling at nothing.”

Seasons arrive, and then they wither away- all in the blink of an eye. You find yourself chasing butterflies, bread, and blizzards, all in the same day, trying to put a meaning to something that gives meaning to your world- your existence!
Have you ever thought of stopping, turning around, and giving a long enchanted look to yourself in the mirror? Have you ever thought about how lonely you get, each time you rush past it, nonchalantly?
You need love. Yes… more than anything else in this world, you need love!
You need a love that holds you in the nights that chase your smiles away. A love that doesn’t shy away from sitting silently by your side even though you have tried to push it away a thousand times.
A love that…

There is no tiredness capable of overcoming what we decided to keep “dreams” alive within us. Make up the excuse you want, but not a stone in your path is big enough, that you don’t have the capacity to deviate from it, and be able to stand your ground for your purposes
Direito da Mulher
Not only in Brazil, but also in other countries, women suffered a lot of prejudice and discrimination, in fact, they still suffer.
A mulher não só no Brasil, mas também como em outros países, ela sofreu muito preconceito e discriminação, na verdade, ainda sofre. Vencer as barreiras culturais não é fácil, pelo contrário é desafiador, bem mais do que nos sugerem as próprias leis. Todavia, é preciso avançarmos, e fazer das nossas dificuldades o motivo maior de lutar por nossos direitos.
Curiosamente, quando se fala no direto da Mulher, sabe-se que estes, ocorrem em face da desigualdade do poder. A Constituição Federal em seu artigo 5°, certifica que homens e mulheres são iguais em as suas obrigações. Todavia, este assunto é motivo para muitos questionamentos, digo os aspectos da diferença entre o que diz o texto constitucional e o que afirma a realidade. Sabemos que entre uma coisa e outra, há uma lacuna que precisa ser preenchida dia após dia, com a presença desses direitos. Não basta falar, é preciso estreita e…
