Another Ravitch Winner
You have probably read about the gymnasts who testified before Congress last week, complaining about the failure of the FBI, the US Olympic Committee, and others had ignored their reports of sexual abuse by the doctor for the gymnastics team.
Like me, you probably never read the FBI report describing its own failure to take their reports seriously.
This CNN story has a link to the report. It is horrifying.
Amiga
Com você eu aprendi o verdadeiro valor de uma amizade, aprendi o que é o amor, o que é ao outro doar-se sem pedir nada em troca, aprendi o que é cumplicidade. Com você eu aprendi o que é confiar, aprendi a compartilhar sonhos e segredos sem ter a preocupação de não ser compreendida.

“This is unacceptable,” it says.
“Every day when they show up for work, they are putting the needs of the community of Fort St. John ahead of their own and those of their families at home.”
Paulo Freire
Em homenagem ao cenário de Paulo Freire, eu resolvi abraçar uma de suas reflexões freirianas, que dentre todas que não fale de educação, tenha uma importância, e talvez, um significado enorme, porém, ainda não alcançado com o comprometimento que merece que é o problemada fome. Todavia, eu tinha que trazer para cá, essa reflexão, pois serve para relembrar urgência que abre caminhos ao diálogo, de modo que, reforça toda a trajetória de Paulo, que como sabemos foi a luta pela educação. Porém, dentre as suas reflexões, algo me chamou atenção que foi falar num problema global que é a fome.
Paulo foi enfático ao dizer que se recusava a qualquer posição fatalista, coisas como, abre aspas:
” É uma pena que haja tantos brasileiros e tantas brasileiras morrendo de fome. Mas afinal, a realidade é essa mesma”. Paulo disse: “Não!, eu me recuso como falsa, como ideológica. Nenhuma realidade é…

Opinion | Democrats must push through the Freedom to Vote Act – The Washington Post
The new bill would allow all voters — not just the sick and the elderly — to request absentee ballots. No-excuse mail-in voting has worked well in most states, but now that more Democrats are using the voting method, state-level Republicans have begun to crack down on it. Similarly, the act would require secure ballot drop boxes, another voter convenience Republicans have tried to limit or eliminate. The bill would make Election Day a holiday, require a minimum early voting period, institute automatic registration (when people get or renew their driver’s licenses), and mandate same-day registration for those who remain unregistered but who want to vote on Election Day.
