Ethnic cleansing documented in western Tigray
A 23-year-old Tigrayan trader told investigators how he was beaten up and left for dead in Rawyan by a patrol of Amhara Special Forces, who said: "We will erase you from this land. This land is ours. This is the last time a Tigrayan will live in the area."
At this time Jamila told how some Amhara militiamen came into her hair salon in the town of Dansha early one morning as she was working. The 27-year-old was raped in front of her children, aged seven and two: "They said: 'You Tigrayans should disappear from the land west of Tekeze.'"
This refers to the River Tekeze, which splits the western zone of Tigray from the rest of the region.
Once in control of western Tigray, interviewees said the new authorities banned the speaking of Tigrinya and put in place policies to push Tigrayans out, distributing leaflets with a 24-hour or 72-hour ultimatum to leave or be killed.

No One Ever Changed Their Mind Because You Called Them A “Bigot”
The challenge of cogently addressing topics as complex as those related to representation in modern day work spaces (in print, on Zoom, or - perish the thought - on social media) is, frankly, daunting. But is counting belly-buttons and making sure corporate photos resemble a Bennetton ad the ultimate goal? What we’re seeking (in my opinion) are diverse perspectives that lead to innovation, better outcomes, and ultimately bottom-line success.
My friend and colleague, Dr. Martin Davidson from Darden School at UVA, calls it “Leveraging Difference,” which he contrasts with the old school, failed approach of “Managing Diversity.” The latter places more value on some diverse groups than others (especially more than the majority population), and has an outcome of resentment and tokenism, not innovation. Leveraging Difference, however, takes both acquired and inherent diversity into account, and includes everyone, including the straight white men that have been vilified for much of the last thirty years.

Allegations against TI and Tiny prompt call to support Black sexual assault survivors
The scandal involving the rapper and former girl group member erupted over several weeks as women reportedly came forward to accuse the power couple of confiscating their cellphones and preventing from leaving as the Harrises sexual assaulted them, or other women, in forced drug binges.
It has prompted the activists to address the issue as showing how Black survivors are often sidelined and their stories ignored in the national MeToo reckoning in America over sexual assault.
“We know countless of you have come forward with credible accusations of horrific sexual abuse and violence at the hands of Black celebrities,” the activists and groups wrote in a public letter. “Like you, we are carrying the emotional weight of this news and know that we are reliving a collective trauma akin to the exposing of Cosby and R Kelly.”

Kids' mental health at risk of becoming America's next culture war
The pandemic has created a greater sense of urgency around children's mental health, but statistics have been trending in the wrong direction for years, with sometimes tragic consequences for families and communities.
School-based efforts that have been shown to support kids' mental, social and emotional health are getting pulled into a broader debate about what happens in public school classrooms and guidance counselors' offices.
High-profile state legislation, like Texas' law equating transgender care with child abuse and Florida's law prohibiting "classroom discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity" before fourth grade have sparked outrage among mental health professionals concerned about their impact on children and families.
