My heart breaks for the families of the 10 students who have lost their lives in the dormitory fire at Utumishi Girls Academy in the early hours of this morning. They went to school in pursuit of a future and now that future was stolen from them and from us all. To the parents, siblings, teachers and the entire Utumishi Girls family, there are no words to describe or comfort this pain. I stand with you in grief.
To the Kenya Red Cross, the Rift Valley Regional Police Commander and all emergency responders who rushed to the scene, thank you for your service in an extremely difficult moment.
As a nation, this is our moment to reflect. We must invest more in school fire safety infrastructure, emergency response capacity and disaster preparedness across every county. Our children deserve schools that are not just places of learning but places of safety.
Rest in peace, our daughters.
Kentucky mother hides a camera in her nonverbal autistic son's hair after suspecting he was being abused at elementary school.
Tiphanee Lee says she suspected something was off when she received complaints about her son's behavior at school.
Lee decided to take matters into her own hands and put a small camera in her son's dreads.
When Lee reviewed the footage, she heard noises while her son's head moved around as a staff member accosted him.
"While this was happening there was adults in the room who did nothing to stop it. This is unacceptable," Tiphanee said.
The incident is reportedly under investigation.
The 𝕏 algorithm assumes that if you interact with content, you want to see more of that content.
One of the strongest signals is if you forward 𝕏 posts to friends, it assumes you like that content a lot, because it takes effort to forward.
Unfortunately, if the actual reason you forwarded the content to friends was because you were outraged by it, we are currently not smart enough to realize that.
Since the self-proclaimed experts and intellectuals on X are all so quick to give their opinions and judge a complex medical case without taking the time to read or educate themselves, let’s clear things up:
Denunciation of the media harassment and cyberbullying against Imane Khelif
The Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who defeated the Italian Carini and qualified for the quarter-finals, is enduring relentless media harassment and unbearable cyberbullying. These attacks, often anonymous and cruel, are severely affecting her morale, as well as her mental and physical health. She is mercilessly judged by malicious comments on social media, especially on the X platform.
@elonmusk , owner of the X platform and an extremely influential figure with nearly 193 million followers, took it upon himself to criticize this athlete in several comments. This intervention, echoed by numerous media outlets, has intensified the harassment wave, subjecting Imane Khelif to public humiliation. Mr. Musk, as a leader in technology and social media, you have the power and responsibility to moderate and educate your audience about the devastating impact of such behavior. How is it that someone as intelligent and influential as you would judge a case without first informing yourself about its nature?
You yourself have stated in an interview with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson that erroneous choices, caused by misinformation, led to tragic consequences for your own family. How can you, knowing these stakes, judge a case you don’t fully understand and risk harming another person?
Hyperandrogenism is a complex medical phenomenon. In women, it results in an increased production of androgens, substances that cause a rise in testosterone levels. This hormone, by increasing muscle mass, is believed to enhance athletic performance. There are two types of hyperandrogenism: clinical and biological.
Imane Khelif is not an isolated case. Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba, Margaret Wambui, and Dutee Chand have also been victims of discrimination and criticism due to their hyperandrogenism. In 2009, Caster Semenya became a prominent figure in this debate after being subjected to gender testing. Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui also suffered from this unjust treatment. Dutee Chand, an Indian sprinter, succeeded in 2015 in having one of the IAAF’s early regulations overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which gave the IAAF two years to prove the superiority of hyperandrogenic athletes. In 2017, a report commissioned by the IAAF concluded that this condition provided a "significant" advantage in certain events.
The impact of these regulations and the mandatory medications to lower testosterone levels is well-documented. For example, Caster Semenya's performance declined when she was forced to take these treatments. These requirements not only harm athletes' performances but also their overall well-being.
It is crucial to recognize the impact of cyberbullying and media harassment on athletes like Imane Khelif. We must work towards a fairer and more respectful sports environment, where each athlete is judged on their performance and not on biological factors beyond their control.
Apparently, some people have seen so many bearded men in skirts that they can no longer tell the difference between a man and a woman. Maybe they should ask the Olympic Committee why they let Imane Khelif compete, instead of targeting an athlete who is simply striving to achieve her dream.
