Wherever papa may be

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Wherever papa may be

you’re right behind me

as I cross our boundless bloodline

son, your footsteps shall be scented with our heritage…

.

Wherever papa may be

you’re right behind me

as I quietly cross the mountains and valleys

son, your footsteps shall venture far and wide.

.

Because I am a mountain

a mountain of wind and mist

and you are the fragrant blooming foliage

Ba đi đâu

con theo đó

ba đi vạn viên máu đỏ

con đi thơm bước chân hồng…

Ba đi đâu

con theo đó

ba đi im lặng núi đồi

con đi vang rộng trời xa.

.

Bởi ba là núi

núi là gió là sương

con là hoa lá là hương

Argentinians march for Cristina Kirchner after vice-president survives assassination bid | Argentina | The Guardian

Tens of thousands have taken to the streets across Argentina to protest against political violence and show support for vice-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the day after she survived what appeared to be a failed assassination attempt.

Political leaders around the world and Pope Francis condemned the attack, as marchers flooded cities across the country in solidarity with a political leader who, like Juan and Evita Perón, dominates Argentina’s political landscape.

Dr. Oz Tries To Come For Two ‘Wrongfully Convicted Black Men.’ Then Gets Properly Dragged For It

“Going after two campaign staffers is a new low for Dr. Oz,” Fetterman said in response. He described the Hortons as “wrongfully convicted” and said that fighting for their release “was one of the proudest moments of my career, and I’m honored to have them on this team.”

“Does Dr. Oz believe that the wrongfully convicted should die in prison?” Fetterman continued. “Does this man have any compassion? He’s making a predictable and fear-mongering attack against two men who spent 27 years in prison for a crime they didn’t commit.”

Violência Doméstica: a cultura exige tanto da mulher que a faz ficar doente

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A violência doméstica transmite a nós mulheres, duas mensagens importantes: medo e castigo injusto. A primeira, que é o medo, dar-se porque a mulher torna-se refém dos ditames injustos de uma cultura patriarcal. Durante séculos, a mulher tem sido prejudicada de diversas maneiras, seja no tratamento, ou na forma em que foi excluída de questões decisivas na sociedade, já que nunca puderam expressar opiniões políticas. Claro, essa injustiça é perpetrada séculos à fora, de modo que essa divida, jamais conseguirá ser paga. Pode sim, se corrigir muitos erros no que é possível hoje. Todavia, quando se faz essa leitura do passado, pelo fato da mulher ter que se submeter à obediência e a autoridade masculina, ela só reforça essa divisão de força e poder é algo que se arrasta durante séculos.
