US proposes UN Security Council oppose Rafah assault, back temporary Gaza ceasefire | Reuters

The United States has proposed an alternative draft United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a temporary ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war and opposing a major Israeli ground offensive in Rafah in southern Gaza, according to the text seen by Reuters on Monday.
Washington has been averse to the word ceasefire in any U.N. action on the Israel-Hamas war, but the U.S. draft text echoes language that President Joe Biden said he used last week in conversations with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Black History Month — The First Black Voter | Filosofa’s Word

Thomas_Mundy

America’s first Black vote was cast in New Jersey

On Feb. 3, 1870, the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified prohibiting “the federal government and each state from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen’s race, color, or previous condition of servitude” giving Black men the right to vote across the nation.

Just under a month later the first African American vote was cast in Perth Amboy, N.J. on March 31, 1870 by Thomas Mundy Peterson.

Melancholy Sky

by Dawn Pisturino

I stand alone beneath a melancholy sky,

Tears mingled with the rain.

Just a few miles around the corner.

That’s where you live.

I long to go to you. . .

दिल का टूटन / Heartbreak  – Kaushal Kishore

 

मेरा भी दिल टूटा था एक बार, 

लेकिन मेरे उस गम से 

एक खुशी उभरी थी, 

जब एक दिल के टूटने से 

दो अन्य दिल जुड़ गए 

एक दूसरे से…

💔💔💔

I had my heart broken once, 

yet from that sorrow 

emerged happiness, 

as two other hearts 

found solace in each other 

due to one heartbreak…

*

–Kaushal Kishore

Tentaciones y riesgos – Santiago Galicia Rojon Serrallonga

La tentación de las élites gobernantes de utilizar el poder económico, militar y político, respaldado por mercenarios de la comunicación, líderes sociales corruptos y científicos ambiciosos, parece ser una tendencia en diferentes regiones del mundo para dominar y explotar a los pueblos. En ciertas regiones ausentes de proyecto integral de nación, donde las personas coexisten en un ambiente de distracción y estulticia, el plan consiste en permitir que la miseria, el desorden, la ignorancia y la inseguridad alcancen niveles de alto riesgo social para así justificar la intervención militar, eliminar las garantías individuales, pisotear la dignidad humana y perpetuar a un grupo en el poder. La gente se encuentra tan distraída en superficialidades, que ni siquiera tiene capacidad de percibir el peligro que le acecha en sus países.
