Republican nominee for Maryland attorney general hosted 9/11 conspiracy radio shows – CNNPolitics

The Republican Party’s nominee for Maryland attorney general hosted a series of five radio shows in 2006 devoted to arguing in support of 9/11 conspiracy theories questioning if the terror attack was the work of an “elite bureaucrat” who had demolition charges in every building in New York City and even suggesting if those who died after a hijacked plane hit the Pentagon were killed elsewhere.

It Doesn’t Matter Much Which Fiber You Choose – Just Get More Fiber! | Duke Today

When your gut bugs are happily munching on a high-fiber diet, they produce more of the short-chain fatty acids that protect you from diseases of the gut, colorectal cancers and even obesity. And in particular, they produce more of a fatty acid called butyrate, which is fuel for your intestinal cells themselves. Butyrate has been shown to improve the gut’s resistance to pathogens, lower inflammation and create happier, healthier cells lining the host’s intestines.

Widespread Arrests Used to Intimidate the Population – Groundviews (Me: Sri Lanka – collapse of government leads to worse government – autocracy reigns – sadly0

Journalists and media personnel are a top priority in the arrests, which  are not on the basis of any illegal acts committed by media personnel; they are being targeted for providing information to the people. Thus, belonging to the free media is considered an offence when in fact the law protects the right to freedom of expression as a fundamental right recognized by the constitution. However, emergency laws are being used to override the constitution itself.

The second group that has been targeted are trade unionists and people involved in movements that protect the rights of people. The right of association is also recognized as a fundamental right in the constitution and it is necessary for the maintenance of a free and civilized society. Students are particularly targeted with several reports of arrests and detentions.

She Traveled 200 Miles for an Abortion She Never Wanted – The New York Times

She recalled that she went quiet, her body went still. What did they mean, they couldn’t do the abortion? Just two weeks earlier, she and her fiance had learned her fetus had a condition that would not allow it to survive outside the womb. If she tried to carry to term, she could become critically ill, or even die, her doctor had said. Now, she was being told she couldn’t have an abortion she didn’t even want, but needed.

Monday Notes: The Power of Story

K E Garland

Shortly after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, I received several notifications from writing platforms. These publications had an urgent interest in “personal abortion stories.” Suddenly, hearing about women’s lived experiences was integral. I understand why. 

Stories are important.

It’s one thing to be marching around in your knit, pink pussy hat; it’s quite another to share why you feel the need to. 

Sometimes, marching is easier than telling the person who disagrees with you that, you too, had an abortion at one point in your life. However, I’d argue that the narrative you share is what will actually create empathy, and eventually, a nuanced understanding of an issue.

Personal story is why the movement was partly successful. For the first time that I know of, not only women, but also men were discussing definitions of sexual harassment. Is giving someone a compliment okay? Can…

Paulo Freire

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Não há utopia verdadeira fora da tensão entre a denúncia de um presente tornando-se cada vez mais tolerável e o anúncio de um futuro a ser criado, construído, política, estética e eticamente, por nós, mulheres e homens. A utopia implica essa denúncia e esse anúncio, mas não deixa esgotar-se a tensão entre ambos quando da produção do futuro antes anunciado e agora um novo presente. A experiência do sonho se instaura na medida mesma em que a história não se imobiliza, não morre. Pelo contrário, continua. “
