Gal Gadot, actress and star of the hit film Wonder Woman, has been reported to have said that she will not be a part of the Wonder Woman sequel unless Warner Bros. dumps Brett Ratner, a prominent producer in hollywood who has been accused of sexual assault by many women including actresses such as Ellen Paige. There has been no statement released by either Warner Bros. or Gadot herself, however these reports seem plausible as Gadot had recently dropped out of an awards ceremony where she was supposed to give Ratner a lifetime achievement award. This statement along with her quite obvious stance on sexual assault in the industry makes these reports seem as though they hold more weight.

Roy Moore sexual assault scandal - Avery Vance
Candidate for Alabama senate Roy Moore has been accused of sexual assault, derailing his campaign. Thirty eight years ago, judge Moore allegedly sexually assaulted a fourteen year old girl when he was thirty two years old. Clearly an illegal act, the stance taken in a situation like this is usually "innocent till proven guilty". However, since this involves someone potentially in a position of political power, that is a not the stance being taken. This mans campaign has been almost entirely derailed as a result of this and while I do hope the accusations are false as that means less evil is being conducted in the world, if these allegations are true I hope judge Moore gets put behind bars and soon.

This shooting took the lives of 26 people.
This shooting... Isn't being politicized?
Well there's a reason why.
This article holds the events that happened in that church where 26 people lost their lives.
Everyone is pulling up reports of mental health and the failures of the Air Force left and right.
Here and there are articles that hold records of things that people yearn to see.
However, this articles holds the events that happened that unfaithful day in sutherlands, Texas.
This article has real accounts from real witnneses.
This is a short summary of what happened:
26 people lost their lives to a single person with an assault rifle. The gunman targeted children, Couples, the elderly, the young, those who had days left...and those who had life barely given to them.
26.
Gone.
This sparked an outrage of people who wanted to express their views on gun control.
Some wanted it enforced so that no one will repeat this horrific scene again.
Some want to make sure that there is going to be less deaths with more guns.
This is all being referenced to the 2nd amendment.

More Accusations Risk Weinstein's Imprisonment-Victoria Gonzalez #1-3rd 6 Weeks
Harvey Weinstein, a business man and well-known Hollywood producer, has been accused of groping and raping some of his clients. This includes models, actresses and as much as 60 women who have accused him of rape. Most often it has been meetings in his hotel rooms, office and anywhere in which he is free to attack on an unsuspecting victim without any witnesses. However, out of the 60 cases, accusations and claims that Weinstein is a rapist this case strikes the police as powerful due to "The strongest case we've had that first within the statute of limitations,". Also, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce, the case is even more credible to actually press charges due to the intimate detail of when, where, why, and how these events occurred. However, I do believe that these cases need to be more encouraging of women to come forward. When they decide to finally step up and speak about their issues, it's too late to acquire details about the events due to the long time gap between stepping forward and the night the attack occurred.

Young girl taken into custody after surgery
Summary: After having emergency gallbladder surgery in Corpus Christi, an undocumented 10 year old girl with cerebral palsy, is being allowed release after being held in federal custody. Upon finding out that the young girl’s family who took her to the hospital was undocumented, border patrol agents followed them to the hospital. After being sued by The American Civil Liberties Union, Rosa Maria is being sent back with her family to recover.
Synthesis: Not too long ago, another family suffered from the same situation. Their child was a newborn baby who had to have emergency surgery in Corpus Christi but since they were undocumented, it was possible that they could get deported.
Analysis: It’s sad that people can’t even provide their children with proper healthcare without the possibility of having their family torn apart. I get that these are the laws and border patrol agents are just enforcing them, but something has to change. I’ve been hearing, what seems like many stories like these, and it makes me wonder how many other families have been put in a position where they have to determine whether they want to help their children or have their family split up. However, it gives me hope to see that there are people who fight for others and give them a voice. The support these families get is incredible to witness and it just goes to show that there are still good people in this world.
