"The Russian military police were heavily involved. They were directing things".

“There has been a very heavy security presence on the ground ever since the attack and they have been targeting doctors and medics in a very straightforward way,” said Tayara, a Birmingham-based physician, now in Turkey where he is supervising the departure from Syria of some of the Douma medics. “Any medic who tried to leave Douma was searched so vigorously, especially for samples. At one medical point, seven casualties were taken away. The Russian military police were heavily involved. They were directing things.

“They were looking through their WhatsApp messages and phones. The doctors were treated abusively and have been threatened ever since. Their families have been threatened that they will pay a price and they themselves have told they will be arrested, and much more if they give any evidence, or interviews about what happened in Douma.”

There have to be consequences for Russia.

Maybe it's time to think about whether there's a way to persuade President Putin to resign, also.

Macy's anti-union training video

I was surprised and grateful when Macy's in Boston hired me to work for the 2017-2018 holiday season.  Most of the people with whom I worked were nice and it was fun. Being from Vermont, I had always thought of Macy's as being very ritzy; I think that is Macy's reputation around the world, and perhaps that reputation was accurate in the past.  Unfortunately, the store in Boston is physically disintegrating from what seems to me to be neglect at the corporate office level.  I sent emails about that to Macy's human resources before my employment was ended.  Hopefully, someone will read them and stop this famous American store from being run into the ground.  If the store can be saved, I'd also like to mention that several customers asked about gift-wrapping during the holiday season, and they were all disappointed that Macy's stopped offering that amenity years ago.   Also; I was shocked that part of the training for employment was to watch a video portraying unio

Nobody should think that threatening me with voyeurism and involuntary pornography will make me say what you want me to say, or not say what you don't want me to say.

When I realized that these crimes had started to happen to me, I also knew that people would threaten me with them whenever they didn't like what I was saying.   My response to that was to publish pages about how threatening me with these sexual assaults would not make me say what the people threatening me wanted me to say.   That was in 2011.  Since then, the sexual assaults have escalated so that they are treated as if they are normal, funny and what I deserve.   ALTHOUGH I WISH I WERE NEVER BORN AND NEVER STOP THINKING ABOUT KILLING MYSELF, THOSE ASSAULTS DON'T MAKE ME SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO THREATEN ME WITH THEM WANT ME TO SAY, AND THEY DON'T STOP ME FROM SAYING WHAT THEY DON'T WANT ME TO SAY. THE SICK, SADISTIC, ILLEGAL VIDEOS OF ME AREN'T MY CRIMES!  THEY ARE EVIDENCE OF CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST ME, AND PEOPLE WHO USE THEM TO TRY TO INTIMIDATE ME SHOULD BE ASHAMED! DO YOU HEAR WHAT I'M TELLING YOU?!  THIS IS YOUR SHAME!  IT'S NOT MY SHAME!  STOP FORCI
