Holistic approach – Raffaello Palandri’s Blog

We should start addressing what limits and hurts us by holistically taking into account our body, mind, and soul in reaching our purpose and well-being.

Advocating For Human Rights | bluejayblog

The ex-President has expressed his desire to imprison people who disagree with him if he is elected into office again. He has openly threatened to weaken international human rights organizations. He also wishes to re-enact abusive US-Mexico border enforcement policies that ignore basic human rights. The list goes on. In effect, his administration would be a rule of cruel retribution. We should take his open advocacy of authoritarianism seriously.

The ex-POTUS is not the only powerful individual who threatens human rights. Heads of state from several nations such as North Korea and others already impose iron rule upon the citizens of their countries. Dissidents and minorities have long suffered under oppression and the suppression of human rights. To ignore these violations and threats is irresponsible. People of good conscience cannot simply sweep them under the rug.

Open Letter To ALL Members of Congress | Filosofa’s Word

Dear Senators and Representatives …

I am writing today to plead with you to stop your petty game-playing and approve funding to aid Ukraine in their battle against the Russian dictator Putin.  You must find it in your heart and in your conscience to pass the bill to fund additional aid, for if you do not … then you will have the blood of potentially every Ukrainian citizen on your hands for the rest of your lives.  You can quibble and play your petty games later over the U.S. southern border … there is, contrary to what some want us to believe, NO CRISIS there at this time.  Yes, there are problems, but no crisis as such. But there IS a crisis in Ukraine, and it is one that will have far-reaching global consequences for decades to come.

You have a choice to make … stop playing partisan games and DO YOUR JOB!  Stop trying to make the lives of nearly 44 million people in Ukraine contingent upon your racist views that the southern border of the United States should be shuttered to all immigrants.  There is no comparison, and these are two separate issues.  Meanwhile, people – innocent civilians – are dying in Ukraine every day and will continue to do so indefinitely.  We can help, but not if you continue to play Russian Roulette with those lives.  Just pass the bill – it isn’t coming out of your pocket … you’re still getting paid a fat amount and doing absolutely NOTHING to earn it!…

The Taliban is causing “irreversible damage” to Afghanistan’s education system through the reintroduction of corporal punishment, curriculum changes and the use of unqualified teachers to replace women, most of whom have been barred from schools, Human Rights Watch has warned.

After taking power in 2021, the Taliban banned girls from secondary schools. A new report from Human Rights Watch (HRW), published on Wednesday, warns that boys’ education has also suffered under the Taliban, although this has gone largely unreported…
