Harry Belafonte: Trump Is Standing in Our Way — Repeating Islands

If the president wins again, we have so much more to lose. By Harry Belafonte for The New York Times. Four years ago, when Donald Trump first ran for president, he urged Black people to support him, asking us, “What have you got to lose?” Four years later, we know exactly what we had to lose. […]

UK testing every person in Liverpool for virus | TheHill

The British government announced on Tuesday that everyone in Liverpool will be tested for the novel coronavirus as part of a trial program starting this week.

The government said in a statement that people who work or live in the city will be tested, regardless of if they are experiencing symptoms or not.

New technology, including swab tests and lateral flow tests, will allow test results to be provided within an hour or less without lab processing, the government added.

Kenosha shooting victim’s father slams Trump for defending Rittenhouse: ‘How dare he’ | TheHill

“Self-defense, that’s impossible,” John Huber, father of Anthony, said during a video court hearing.

“He had already killed a guy and tried to run. My son was a hero. He tried to stop him. He was a hero. Anyone who says otherwise is dead wrong, including the president. How dare he,” Huber added.

Trump declined to denounce Rittenhouse in late August after the fatal incident, saying the teenager was “very violently attacked”and “probably would have been killed” himself if he hadn’t fired his gun.

Federal regulators have approved the first HIV self-test in Canada, a long-awaited move that experts have said is critical to reaching people who don’t know they have the virus.

Health Canada granted a medical device licence on Monday to a one-minute, finger-prick blood test manufactured by Richmond, B.C.-based bioLytical Laboratories.

Black women shed blood, sweat and tears to gain a voice. Granny, this vote is for you | US news | The Guardian

Ms Rose was ineligible to vote for nearly half of her 98 years.

“When I walked into that voting booth, I took the spirit of my ancestors with me, thinking about how many people have died, were hung on trees, bitten by dogs, sprayed with firehoses,” he said. “They overcame all that.

“Covid is nothing compared to what our ancestors went through to secure the right to vote for all of us.”

I didn’t anticipate Granny would be one of those ancestors whose spirit would hold me up as I held on to her pearls.

Black women are exceptionally impacted by three national crises yet are still most often left out of policy, excluded from news coverage, and most easily stereotyped. For every one of the ancestors who couldn’t make it to this day, we say your names.

This election day, we take the spirit of our ancestors like Ms Rose, and every Black man and woman whose story has never, or is just yet to be, told. We forge our futures cloaked in the legacies of our past.

Ancestors, this vote is for you.

Unlocking The Hidden Me

#poetry #haiku #senryu

Contented, benign

Destitute yet heart to give

A human, really??

In our contemporary world, the lion’s share of us ‘people’ live by the principle of give and take. A rare sight it is to see someone not abiding this rule. Compassion is on the verge of extinction and lie embedded in books just like another 3 syllable word.

The very essence has been lost or to say will be lost in the years to come. Even relationships are not forgiven, they do get washed away in the rain of avariciousness.

To be kind, you don’t require to dissipate a million dollars (as it does not proportionate to being one) instead just an illumination of hope, a word of sobriety, a pat of appreciation, an anchor in times of a hurricane, tears of sympathy, a medicine in illness, a shelter in a squall and a heart to…
