hate speech is unacceptable no matter for whom it is used.“We can’t normalize homosexuality or see it as normal as we have values, but the government has to protect and deliver the basic human rights of every human being, every citizen,” Yanık said, adding that every group has the right to protest.Noting that most of her professional life has been based on human rights as she is a lawyer, Yanık said, “We find hate speech wrong no matter who it is against.”“Remember the trans people who were thrown to the side of the road with their stomachs ripped? Such things should not happen,” Yanık said.

Some public health experts are criticizing the federal vaccination strategy for forcing state and local health departments to scale back their vaccine outreach when they should be ramping it up. | Mary Altaffer/AP Photo By Megan Messerly and Krista Mahr 08/24/2022 04:30 AM EDT Link CopiedThe Biden administration’s strategy for stretching scarce monkeypox shots is instead leading to fewer vaccinations and could worsen racial health disparities.The federal government last week slashed the number of vials states received in anticipation of each being able to vaccinate up to five people per vial instead of one.But health officials in half a dozen states told POLITICO that they are routinely able to extract only three or four doses per vial, meaning they were able to vaccinate fewer people last week than if the federal government had made no changes at all because of the drastically reduced allocations.These officials have had to scramble to reorganize their vaccination efforts — canceling clinics, rescheduling staff and delaying plans to expand eligibility.And,even though the federal government made more vaccines available for states to order on Monday, states warn that they still do not have enough doses to contain a rapidly spreading outbreak that has infected nearly 16,000people to date as public health experts fear the window of opportunity for stopping the virus’s spread is closing.

When a 40-year-old German man recently complained of a red spot on his nose, a family doctor initially diagnosed him with sunburn. But when the red dot turned black and began to rot, the man was rushed to the University Hospital in Bonn, where medical staff gave multiple frightening diagnoses.He developed lesions around his mouth and body due to a monkeypox, or MPV, infection confirmed by PCR testing.Several additional tests, including those for sexually transmitted infections, revealed that the man had both advanced HIV and severe syphilis.Due to the confluence of infections, his immune system had been significantly weakened, allowing necrosis or tissue death to occur opportunistically.The German's severe MPV case was documented in the medical journal Infection. "The patient had never been tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STI) before," the report states.The man received TPOXX for seven days, antiretroviral therapy for HIV, and antibiotics for syphilis.The skin lesions have dried out, and some swelling in the nose has subsided, doctors observed.As of yet, most MPV infections have been mild, and people living with controlled HIV do not seem to be at risk of severe illness.

(CNN) -- The Hawaii most tourists see is one of azure waters and towering resorts, of “aloha” and “ohana,” and “hula.”But as it exists now, the powerful tourism industry dictates the lives of Native Hawaiians, often for the worse, said Kyle Kajihiro, a lecturer at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa and activist for the rights of Native Hawaiians.The tourism industry in Hawaii powers its state revenue, but that reliance on tourism has resulted in Native Hawaiians getting priced out of their homes, climate change wreaking havoc on the natural landscape, and a lack of respect for the 50th state that is also the ancestral land of more than half a million people.“I think that it is too easy for people to visit places like Hawaii,” Kajihiro said. “It conditions visitors to feel entitled.”The industry must change to improve the futures of Native Hawaiians, Kajihiro told CNN.

The amount available depends on the jurisdiction’s size, nature, and ability to reach attendees at risk of contracting MPV.“We’re asking the requests to include a component of how they will promote education and awareness, as well as how they will address health equity in delivery of both messaging as well as vaccine,” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr.

What do you do when you desperately need a lawyer but you’re an alleged career criminal/disgraced, twice-impeached ex-president facing multiple lawsuits and a potential federal investigation and you’ve burned every damn bridge imaginable?That’s the dilemma Donald Trump is currently facing.It’s been a little over a week since the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago and reportedly removed 11 boxes of highly classified documents that were being illegally stored in a padlocked room in the basement, and the ex-president can’t find a single good lawyer to help him out.Hell, he can’t even find a decent one.Related: The dude who doxxed FBI agents after Mar-A-Lago raid… just got doxxed“Everyone is saying no,” an anonymous source tells the Washington Post.Another source adds that representing Trump would be way too difficult, pointing to his behavior in White House, specifically during the Mueller investigation, when he would constantly rage tweet from the Oval Office against his legal team’s advice.Several others described him as a nightmare client and said they would be concerned about whether he’d pay them for their work or just hang them out to dry like he did with Rudy.
