In his first campaign ad of 2024, President Joe Biden asked the question over images of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Jan. 6 rioters: “What will we do to maintain our democracy? History’s watching.” For a couple more weeks, Biden retains the responsibilities and powers of the nation’s highest office. If he believes his words, he must take urgent action to strengthen our democracy, even as he works to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. President-elect Donald Trump has made little secret of his desire for unchecked power, whether to be a dictator on “Day One,” weaponize the Department of Justice against perceived enemies, or strip broadcast licenses from disfavored media outlets. However, this has yet to come to pass. America only has one president at a time. If Biden’s campaign ad was more than political bluster – and his lifetime of dedicated public service suggests it was heartfelt – he must now do everything he can to safeguard our fundamental rights. So, what can he do? First, he can shore up protections for the dedicated career civil servants who keep us safe. Doctors, scientists and bank inspectors ensure the prescribed drugs are safe, our water is free of toxins, our jobs won’t cause us injury, and our life’s savings won’t disappear when we make a deposit. Civil servants in agencies like the FBI, CIA and Defense keep us safe from terrorists and foreign adversaries. With his billionaire Cabinet picks and quid pro quo style, Trump will replace servants of the people with those who serve him. He doesn’t want career civil servants to blow the whistle when his actions sacrifice Americans’ safety and wellbeing for the benefit of wealthy friends. Solidifying job protections for civil servants gives them what authoritarians hate most: the ability to stand up, speak truth and ensure our laws are followed. Biden has prized himself for being the most labor-friendly president in a generation. Now, he must aggressively side with public workers in contract negotiations and offer whistleblower training to put our health and safety over the interests of billionaires. Second, Biden can recognize the Equal Rights Amendment to protect women from impending attacks. Many in Trump’s orbit are pushing him to use draconian measures to block Americans’ access to reproductive care. His nominee for Defense secretary has said he believes women are less effective fighters and shouldn’t serve in ground combat units. Trump also has an eye to scale back efforts to combat sex discrimination in the workplace and health care. The ERA could offer vital constitutional protections. Virginia ratified it in 2020 and was the last state needed to bring it into force, but it has yet to be formally recognized as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, even as the nation’s leading scholars and the American Bar Association argue it has already been adopted. Biden has the power to clarify this once and for all. Finally, Biden should do all he can to prepare our military, law enforcement and intelligence communities to uphold the rule of law and push back against attempts to weaponize them against law-abiding citizens. The Republican-led House of Representatives has passed two bills to safeguard journalists and stop the government from purchasing Americans’ private location, web history and search data without a warrant. Biden must press the Senate to take immediate action on these bills. Through training and guidance, he can also reiterate that presidential immunity does not shield military and law enforcement officers from the legal requirement to follow only lawful orders. Additionally, his administration can lay out constraints on the domestic deployment of federal forces, even if they are ultimately reversed. Biden’s term isn’t over, nor is his responsibility to the children and grandchildren watching him, waiting to see what kind of America they will inherit. Urgent actions are sitting on the most powerful desk in America. We must now ask the lifelong statesman and patriot who sits behind it: What will you do to protect our democracy?

He wrote this for InsideSources.com. ©2024 Tribune Content Agency, LLCMore than 23,000 tags have been removed across Auckland city, thanks to an 'A-class' service provided by a social enterprise. Specifically, 3070 of these were removed from the Māngere- Ōtāhuhu local board area. The Beautification Trust has become a key player in South Auckland's efforts to maintain clean and vibrant communities. The Trust transitioned from an Auckland Council-controlled organisation to a South Auckland-based social enterprise in 2024. On Wednesday night, Community Programmes Manager Sterling Ruwhiu and Community Coordinator Erin Bowers presented to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board, showcasing the Trust's ongoing contributions. "Our mission is to connect the power of communities to learn, love, and look after the environment. That's our kaupapa." "Tonight, we're also showing how our work impacts the community in three key areas: communities that take pride and feel safe, a healthier and cleaner environment, and empowered, connected communities," Bowers said. The income generated from the Trust's services is reinvested into its community programmes. Their work over the past financial year includes: Other significant initiatives include the official opening of the Manurewa Bike Hub, promoting low-carbon travel, and the success of the Manurewa Community Recycling Centre, which has diverted nearly 190,000 kg of waste from landfills in just two years. "We've had big success with our repair cafes and launched our Food Together pop-up. "Every Thursday, people can buy a $15 bag of fresh produce, which is 40-50 percent cheaper than supermarket prices. We also have volunteers at our recycling centre, as well as a small group from Spectrum Care contributing back to society," Ruwhiu said. The Trust hosted four repair cafes last year, successfully repairing 129 items and diverting 496 kg of waste from landfills, offsetting about 3400 kilograms of carbon emissions. The Trust mobilised 902 volunteer hours and engaged over 6000 children and youth in environmental education programmes like Eye On Nature and Wearable Arts. Eighteen Early Childhood Education (ECE) and primary schools participated in Eye On Nature, with 35 artworks submitted and over 200 children engaged. Additionally, 402 students from 19 schools entered 85 garments for Wearable Arts. Ruwhiu shared a story about two sisters involved in wearable art projects: "One little girl, Siruian, bio-engineered her plastic for her outfit, and her sister grew crystals to include in hers. That's the kind of innovation coming from our young people." Local board chair Tauanu'u Nick Bakulich commended the Trust's value to the community. "Every dollar is a dollar well spent in terms of the ratepayers' dollar. The responses we're getting, especially around graffiti removal, are A-class done within a very, very short time." Bakulich also suggested discussing how to increase applications from Māngere- Ōtāhuhu schools for wearable arts if funding is a limiting factor. Local Board Member Christine O'Brien praised the Trust's impact. "The impact on [graffiti removal] is just amazing," she said. She shared an example from Saleyards Road in Ōtāhuhu: "There was a guy who was going around between Vector and Auckland Transport, and the place was getting increasingly [messy]. "Within a day of me saying, 'Have you tried the Beautification [Trust]?' it's all gone, and [he was] really the happiest ... on earth. So thank you for that." Through its innovative programmes and strong partnerships, the Beautification Trust continues to promote sustainability and strengthen communities in South Auckland.

Israeli hospital says Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgeryDespite advancements in car safety technology and stricter traffic laws, driving remains one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States. In 2022, 46,027 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the United States—a rate of 13.8 per 100,000 people. This map, via Visual Capitalist's Kayla Zhu, visualizes the number of motor vehicle deaths per 100,000 people by state in 2022. The figures come from the National Safety Council , with data pulled from the National Center for Health Statistics and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. With 26 vehicle deaths per 100,000 people—nearly double the national average—the southern state of Mississippi has long been the worst state for fatal vehicle accidents per capita. Speeding, drunk driving, and distracted driving are some of the most common reasons for car accidents in Mississippi. In 2016, drunk driving accounted for 18% of total traffic deaths in the state. Additionally, as a predominantly rural state, accidents on Mississippi’s poorly-maintained rural roads usually happen far from hospitals, delaying life-saving measures. Specifically, driving at night on Mississippi’s rural roads can often be deadly, as seen in this graphic . In Mississippi, as well as in second-ranked South Carolina, which also has a substantial rural population, the number of fatal traffic accidents peaked between 8 to 9 p.m. While 2022 saw the first decrease (-2%) in motor vehicle deaths since 2019, over the past decade, motor vehicle deaths have increased by 30%, according to data from the National Safety Council.

NCHR takes notice of torture of Hindu businessman Human Rights Commission of Pakistan officials sit during a one-day ‘Round-table meeting on the need for a National Commission for Minorities on January 11, 2024. — Facebook@HumanRightsCommissionofPakistan LAHORE: The National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) has taken suo motu notice of the alleged torture of a Hindu businessman, Rajesh Kumar, after a video of the incident surfaced on social media on December 28, 2024. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700472799616-0'); }); Terming the incident a grave violation of human rights, the NCHR has intervened to ensure justice.

Our soldiers managed to take them prisoner. But they were very seriously wounded and could not be resuscitated,” Zelensky said in an evening address posted on social media. South Korea’s spy agency said earlier on Friday that a North Korean soldier who was captured while fighting in Russia’s war against Ukraine had died of his wounds. Zelensky did not specify how many North Koreans had died after being captured by Ukrainian troops. Zelensky had earlier said that nearly 3,000 North Korean soldiers had been “killed or wounded” so far as they joined Russia’s forces in combat in its western Kursk border region, where Ukraine mounted a shock incursion in August. South Korea’s intelligence service had previously put the number of killed or wounded North Koreans at 1,000, saying the high casualty rate could be down to an unfamiliar battlefield environment and their lack of capability to counter drone attacks. The White House on Friday confirmed the South Korean estimates, saying that Pyongyang’s troops were being sent to their deaths in futile attacks by generals who see them as “expendable”. “We also have reports of North Korean soldiers taking their own lives rather than surrendering to Ukrainian forces, likely out of fear of reprisal against their families in North Korea in the event that they’re captured,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters. North Korea and Russia have strengthened their military ties since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. A landmark defence pact between Pyongyang and Moscow signed in June came into force this month, with Russian President Vladimir Putin hailing it as a “breakthrough document”. North Korean state media said Friday that Putin sent a New Year’s message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying: “The bilateral ties between our two countries have been elevated after our talks in June in Pyongyang.” NATO chief Mark Rutte had also said that Moscow was providing support to Pyongyang’s missile and nuclear programmes in exchange for the troops.
