A Bully By Any Other Name … | Filosofa’s Word

Remember in grade school when other children would mock the one who wore braces on their legs, or hearing aids, or stuttered?  I remember, for I was one had coke-bottle-thick glasses and stuttered, and I was taunted more than a few times on the playground as a child.  Plus, my name is “Jill” which led to all sorts of jokes like, “Hey, Jill, where’s Jack … did you push him down the hill?”  But that was then … we all grew up and learned compassion for those with disabilities, right?  Well … most of us did, but apparently not all.  Dan Rather’s newsletter last night hit home as he calls out the bully in the U.S. presidential race and urges us to do the same …


CALLING OUT A WOULD-BE BULLY IN CHIEF

How to combat his cruelty

By Dan Rather

11 March 2024

To ignore bad behavior is to normalize it. Here at Steady we will continue to publicize Donald Trump’s outrageous conduct as long as he exhibits it. 

Insecurity Parading as Strength

At a Saturday campaign rally in Georgia, Trump mocked President Biden’s stutter. Again. “Wasn’t it [the State of the Union address] — didn’t it bring us together?” he asked the crowd. “‘I’m gonna bring the country tuh-tuh-tuh-together,’” Trump said, imitating Biden. At a January rally in Iowa, he fake-quoted Biden characterizing himself: “He’s a threat to d-d-democracy…”

Violência Doméstica

Falar sobre violência é fundamental para ajudar a mulher que vive esse problema. Muitas não tem o apoio da família e é justamente, por meio de trabalhos como esse, que elas encontram apoio para contar as suas experiências dolorosas.

तनाव / Stress  – Kaushal Kishore

 

कुछ लोग टेंशन देते हैं, 

कुछ लोग टेंशन लेते हैं,

‘अमुक को टेंशन क्यों नहीं है’,

कुछ इस बात का टेंशन सेते हैं… 

😣😣😣😣

In the realm of stress, some sow stress,

Others, like a sponge, absorb this mess…

While some stay stressed in tight dress,

Wondering why so and so has no stress…

3.3.2024: Settlers throw rocks on Umm-Al-Kheir Family’s Car, shatter Windshield | The Villages Group: Cooperation in Israel-Palestine

At 8:30 p.m., just before entering their own village, an Israeli vehicle stood on the road and signaled them to stop. The brother slowed down, and they immediately felt a strong impact. A rock was thrown at their car, penetrated the windshield and wounded the brother. The rest, including the baby, were covered with glass smithereens.

They continued driving and reached an army checkpoint. Rattled and distraught, they told the soldiers what had taken place just hundreds of meters from there, but the soldiers did nothing: “These throwers must have sped away, what can one do…” Just try to imagine the soldier’s reaction, had a rock been thrown at an Israeli car near them…

On Monday morning we visited them. Maryam said her eldest son is very scared and refuses to sleep alone. Erella took out a coloring notebook and pencils, and sat down to draw with him.

Erella asked A.: Were you scared when it happened? -Yes.

And you’re still scared? -Yes.

You’re scared at night? -Yes.

What do you do with this scare? – I send it off to Allah, the child answered.

That’s a great idea, Erella said. Allah will probably know how to deal with it,
and you will have a bit less of a scare.
