Feeling Satisfaction from Modest Growth
By: Frankie Faunet
Tags: France, Growth, Writing, Quality, Meaning

Low quantity and high quality in my early days on Medium

Photo by Bogomil Mihaylov on Unsplash

I’m still pretty new here on Medium, and so far I’m enjoying my time. I do not have unlimited free time to spend on the platform, but writing, reading, and interacting with the community has been rewarding.

In terms of readership, my growth here has been modest — no crazy stories of gaining ten thousand followers and 2 million reads in the first month on Medium. I won’t throw around numbers, because it’s really silly, and I don’t actually want to quantify things.

I mean, let’s be serious: I write mostly about France, and I’m not an uplifting, feel good writer. I can’t expect big numbers!

But I’m finding a few people who are interested in my ideas, and are willing to hear me out and exchange. Even in small quantities, that is precious, meaning it is high quality.

So while I won’t be earning loads of money on this platform, I’m doing work that is meaningful to me, and the biggest growth I expect is in my own writing!

And maybe this is my take away: what a world we’d live in if modest growth was a reason for satisfaction and celebration! Someone let the investment bankers know that. In the meantime, I’m raising my cup to you — cheers!
Trip to a Perfect Paris
By: Ed Nico
Tags: Paris, Travel, France, Explore

Eurostar, Le Petit Prince and Amelie café, and lots and lots of laughs throughout the city with such an amazing time spend together. Surprisingly I actually liked Paris on this trip. Each trip keeps getting better and better.

I was caught in two minds of this trip — on the one hand, I didn’t really want to go as I am not a big fan of Paris. I thought it would not be that fun, but on the other hand, I wanted to go as we had spoken about it in the past and she was quite excited about the possibility of visiting Paris. I have to admit now that we have been, I am so glad we went.

Arrived in Paris around mid-morning after a cool Eurostar trip, aside from my usual nervousness to get to the station much earlier than required and that somehow I managed to choose the only seat without a window.

Arrived in Paris and what better way to experience the city than getting on the Metro to really feel and smell the ambience. The fragrances tickling our noses. Eventually got to the hotel and deposited our bags to go out exploring.

Returning to the hotel was an experience I have never come across before. Opened the door to our room expecting our bags to be there, but they were nowhere to be seen. Went to reception and the manager says to look again as it must be there. After convincing him that we had checked with our eyes open, angrily, he grabs a few keys to check for himself as in typical French style “the customer is always wrong and knows nothing”.

He checks the room and surprise surprise no bags. At this stage the poor guy is looking a bit worried, and he decides to call the employee that was on reception when we arrived and stored our bags. After a hush hush conversation between them, we were off on an adventure opening two or three rooms where our bags could be. Eventually, we found our bags in room XXX which other guests had occupied. Luckily the room’s guests were out, so the manager opens the door, and there were our bags, phew, panic over for us but more for the manager who was sweating with worry.

I learned two things from this odd experience

1. People are rude and idiotic, these guests see a bag which is not theirs in their room and do not think to say anything?

2. Never leave anything of value in the room, it was so easy for the manager and us to pop into occupied rooms that who knows how often this happens.

In addition to doing the touristy stuff like Eiffel Tower, Louvre (from the outside as neither of us are big fans of museums), Arc de Triomphe, and Le Moulin Rouge, we also went to the Le Petit Prince store and the café of the film Amelie.

It was also cool to try out different things with her like crepes, croque monsieur (aka croque mansoula or croque sheroulerou) and to walk around, get the tour bus, and experience something a bit different.

The surprising thing about this trip was that I am not a fan of Paris; if I can avoid going, I will, but this trip actually made me enjoy it. I saw the beauty of it and the city’s sights in a completely different light — the only difference to my usual trips to Paris, the company.

1st duty of govt? Foresee the future
By: Stephen Douglas
Tags: France, UK, UK Politics, Brexit, Boris Johnson

Brexit has been foreseeably the most disastrous decision any European state has made since 1939.

It’s also the most unfriendly & expensive single decision 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has ever made for itself (in terms of treasure & comity between 🇬🇧‘s constituent nations & the groups which make them up).

Its incalculable costs in treasure & peace of mind for its closest allies 🇮🇪, 🇵🇹, 🇵🇱, 🇩🇰, 🇳🇱, 🇬🇮, 🇩🇪, 🇯🇵, and 🇫🇷 were all predictable, & predicted.

10s m of pple continue to have billions of sleepless nights over the predictable friction Brexit has unnecessarily introduced into their lives.

What has been completely unforeseeable is how the English government has made EVERY situation it brought upon itself worse by, uniquely, being unable to foresee the outworkings of its unforced errors.

Not extending the transition period last June.

Solving an internal political problem – not announcing 🎄 ’s cancellation in time, meant a mutated strain was necessary as a scapegoat.

Today’s decision whether or not, & if so under which conditions, land, air & sea connections with an 🏝 State will be restored is being decided by the 🇪🇺27 in 🇧🇪 without 🇬🇧 presence.

100 Disastrous 🇬🇧 Unforced Errors
Lille 0–0 PSG — Match report. Lille OSC remain top of the Ligue 1…
By: Patrick Smith
Tags: Ligue 1, France, Paris Saint Germain, Lille, Football

Lille OSC remain top of the Ligue 1 table after a goalless draw at home to Paris Saint Germain.

The Parisian’s title hopes were dealt another blow, as they struggled to find a breakthrough at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.

The hosts had Mike Maignan to thank for a string of fine saves, and their opposition were also rescued by heroics from Presnel Kimpembe.

Just a single point separates Lille, Olmypique Lyonnais and PSG at the top of the French table, with Tuchel’s men one point off the pace.

Despite increasing mediocrity from the reigning champions in domestic competition, a coherent display proved they had raised their game, with the knowledge that a fifth defeat so early in the season could all but end their title hopes.

It was clear to see they lacked a true creative spark, with the absences of an injured Neymar, and birthday boy Kylian Mbappe, who was only fit enough to make the bench.

This is the first time the Parisians have been held to a 0–0 draw since May 2018, and their first under Thomas Tuchel in 81 games.

Lille struggled to adapt and seemed off their usual pace, and although Christophe Galtier’s side had chances to win the match, PSG were dominant throughout and will regret not getting a result.
Where to eat in Paris
By: Maria G. Chahin
Tags: Travel, France, Foodies, Food, Paris

One of my favorite things when I travel is discovering new places to eat and taste the gastronomy of the city where I am. Paris is known for their bread and patisserie but when it comes to food sometimes it can be a miss. I imagine that many of you also like to eat (who doesn't…) so if you plan to go to Paris, here is a list of 6 restaurants that I recommend visiting. Put them on your list, you won't regret it!

Source: Google Images

\\ LE CHALET SAVOYARD \\ 58 Rue de Charonne, 75011 Paris, France

The first restaurant on the list, it is not necessarily my favorite but I do think it is a MUST if you travel to Paris. It is a French style restaurant with a great variety of raclette and fondue. They also have other things like meats and hams, but I recommend ordering fondue. Among the fondue sites I have tried, this has been my favorite in terms of price / quality. Before going, they should check the schedules and call to reserve.

\\ PINK MAMMA \\ 20bis Rue de Douai, 75009 Paris, France

The second restaurant on my list is Pink Mamma. This restaurant is part of the Big Mamma chain in Paris. It is an Italian restaurant and their menu offers pizzas, pastas, meats, etc. etc. I love all of the Big Mamma restaurants, but this is one of my favorites for the decor. This restaurant does not take reservations.

\\ GIRAFE \\ Palais de Chaillot 1, Place du Trocadero 75016 Paris, France

I have to admit that I never got to go to this restaurant, but it was on my list of restaurants in Paris. This restaurant is a bit more expensive than the others with an average price of $ 60-80 euros / person. The restaurant offers a great variety of seafood and has a beautiful view where you can watch the sunset next to the Eiffel Tower. If you go to Paris with your partner and want to have a romantic date or just want to have a dinner with one of the best views in Paris, you have to go to Girafe. Before going, they should check the schedules and call to reserve. It must be reserved in advance.

\\ DERRIÈRE \\ 69 Rue des Gravilliers, 75003 Paris, France

Another French restaurant that I really liked is Derrière. This restaurant has a very fun decoration and a cool atmosphere. The menu is inspired by French cuisine. After dinner, you can cross over to Andy Wahloo. Before going, call to reserve.

The Oldest Person Who Ever Lived

Jeanne Calment, age 20. Public Domain. Wikipedia

Calment celebrating 121st birthday in 1996. Fair use. Wikipedia.

Jeanne Calment holds the independently verified record as the oldest person who ever lived. She was born on 21 February 1875 in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence, France. After living a very long and fascinating life, she passed away from unspecified causes on 4 August 1997 at the age of 122 years and 164 days.

She remained in good health until about a month before she died, although she was nearly blind and was deaf. She was reportedly mentally sharp until her death. So to what did Jeanne Clement ascribe her incredible longevity and relatively youthful appearance? She said her diet rich in olive oil was the reason.

Note: You can learn more about Jeanne Clement HERE.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Market Worth $286.6 Billion By 2027
By: Gaurav Shah
Tags: France, Vaccines, Germany, Pharmaceutical, Biotech

The global active pharmaceutical ingredient market size is expected to reach a value of USD 286.6 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period. Factors, such as increasing preference for outsourcing APIs and growing prevalence of various target diseases such as cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are expected to drive the market growth.

A steady rise in consumer demand for APIs, especially in developing and under-developed countries, increases the adoption of these products. In addition, strategic collaborations play a key role in the adoption of these ingredients in various regions. For instance, in February 2019, Cipla Inc. partnered with Wellthy Therapeutics Private Limited to combine digital therapeutics and pharmacotherapy for better patient outcomes in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

Private and public initiatives to manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients within their countries, especially in developing countries such as India, is expected to drive the growth of the market. For instance, API production in India is promoted under the “Make in India” initiative.

Presence of prominent players and increasing government initiatives for the development of pharmaceuticals in various regions are also expected to boost the market growth. Increasing consumer awareness and demand for economical and effective treatment strategies, especially in Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa, are driving the sales channels. In addition, high adoption and growing usage of online pharmacies are likely to drive the e-commerce sales of APIs.

The API market is competitive in nature and is becoming increasingly competitive. Consequently, manufacturers are required to enhance products in order to gain advantage over previously marketed products. For instance, in March 2019, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. launched XCEED-a B2B customer service portal. The platform was designed to manage the growing demand for generic active pharmaceutical ingredients by significantly increasing operational efficiency.

If I Woke Up in Paris Again
By: Anamika Dutta
Tags: France, Poem, Poetry, Poetry On Medium, Paris

Lovers reminiscing the past

Anamika Dutta for If I Woke Up in Paris Again

If I woke up in Paris again,

Things…would be different,

Before the bakery’s aroma wake my senses up,

I’d rather be wrapped up in your smell.

If I woke up in Paris again,

It’d be nice, a little of your sugar and a lot of my spice,

Bébé, can we wake up together?

Before the Sun can say “bonjour”,

A quick run to the beach, kiss, bathing in the ocean,

Leaving our clothes on the shore.

If I woke up in Paris again,

We wouldn’t miss the moon,

We’d lock ourselves in your room,

Dusk to dawn, morn to noon.

If I woke up in Paris again,

I promise we’d take turns,

I wouldn’t run errands or make trips to Champs-Élysées,

But…just in case, you know me, perhaps I should keep the keys.

Oh! How I wish I could wake up in Paris again,

Right now, today!

I’d never wanna leave our home,

Vous et Moi, nous; we’d be all smiles and I’d hide my past,

All that’s forgotten and gone,

Even though I know in my heart,

I should’ve never left Rome.

Europe Hyaluronic Acid Based Dermal Fillers Market Worth $1.4 Billion By 2026
By: Gaurav Shah
Tags: France, Medical Tourism, Germany, Italy, Medical Devices

The Europe hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers market size is expected to reach USD 1.4 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period. Rapidly aging population, large number of cosmetic surgeries performed, and technological advancements are among key factors driving the market. Growing demand to enhance one’s aesthetic appeal is resulting in high number of cosmetic surgeries being performed. This can also be attributed to the availability of noninvasive surgical alternatives and rising awareness among consumers. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), in 2017, hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler procedures were among the three most preferred noninvasive aesthetic surgeries.

Minimal adverse effects, lesser pain, shorter recovery time, and fewer postsurgical complications are some of the factors driving preference for minimally invasive surgeries. The European market is dominated by well-known brands such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero. In addition, France has several native brands with different patented technologies, thereby contributing to regional market growth. Stylage, Cytosial, Hyaluronica, and Surface Volume are some of the local brands available in the market.

Increasing demand for aesthetic procedures majorly in Italy and Spain is creating a great opportunity for market expansion. According to the ISAPS, about 952,830 aesthetic surgeries were performed in 2016, of which 650,995 were noninvasive procedures such as Botox and dermal fillers.

Various strategic initiatives such as product launch, approvals, and mergers and acquisitions propel the market. For instance, in January 2017, Allergan plc launched Juvederm VOLITE, a new hyaluronic acid dermal filler with its unique patented VYCROSS technology, which lasts for up to nine months. In another instance, in September 2018, Allergan acquired Bonti, Inc. to expand its product portfolio with Bonti’s pipeline products such as (BoNT/E) botulinum neurotoxin serotype E in phase II, EB-001T (therapeutic), and EB-001A (aesthetic).

Pogba vows to “always fight” for Manchester United
By: Manchester News
Tags: Football, France, Epl

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is setting the record straight about his feelings with the club.



The French international put out a passionate speech on Instagram expressing his desire to give his very best effort while with the club.



“I’ve always fought and will always fight for Manchester United, my team-mates and the fans,” says Pogba. “Bla bla is not important.



“The future is far; today is what matters and I am 1000 percent involved!



“Always strong together… all has been clear between the club and myself and that will never change.



“When you don’t know what’s going on inside, don’t talk.



“#SpeakTheTruthOrRemainSilent



“#United



“#talktothehand.”



Pogba posted that following his team’s 0–0 draw with Man City on Saturday.



There are increasing reports Pogba may leave Old Trafford when the new transfer window opens on January 2nd.



Pogba’s statement comes less than a week after his agent Mino Raiola said the 27-year-old is “unhappy” at United.



The 2018 World Cup Winner scored his first Premier League goal of the season last weekend in a 3–1 win over West Ham.



Pogba’s in his fifth season with the club but has only featured in nine EPL fixtures thus far.



The United midfielder is under contract with the club until June 2022 after extending his contract clause in October. (JSL).

The global medical writing market size is expected to reach USD 7.7 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Market growth can be attributed to increasing R&D investments by pharmaceutical companies, rise in contract research organization (CRO) outsourcing, partnerships & collaborations between market players, surge in the number of clinical trials, and updates in medical device regulations.

The European MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev.4 guidance on Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER) was published in 2016. As per a recent article published in 2018, regulations, such as European Medical Devices Regulation (MDR 2017/745) and In-Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR 2017/746) followed in May 2017, and key changes relevant to writers in the field of medicine include increased need for relevant data from clinical studies and requirement of experienced authors. Such stringent regulations are expected to positively impact the medical writing market growth.

Drug development is a billion dollar industry with complex processes of obtaining product approvals. A well-documented, well-communicated, and well-developed research is needed to gain product approval, which increases the demand for experienced writers in the field of medicine. In addition, social media has become a crucial part of marketing and communication strategies of many organizations, including healthcare providers. Social networking is now being used in order to engage with patients as part of digital marketing, thereby creating high demand for writing services in the field of medicine.

Strategic alliances between large pharma companies and CROs have become an ongoing trend. Around 20 major partnerships have been finalized in the last five years. For instance, in October 2016, Quintiles and IMS Health underwent the biggest merger in the CRO industry and reestablished the weightage of both the companies. The merger helped Quintiles to use IMS’ internal database in order to design targeted and complex clinical trials.

Pardon My Manners

As we surely and safely exit the year with the hope to find a better one, we cannot but for once spare a moment for a quiet reflection. Unlike the years that just came and withered away with the dried, lifeless leaves in autumn, this was indeed a year one can’t forget. It definitely wasn’t as pleasant as it rhymed cause many still recover from the deep wounds mirroring something that was witnessed ages ago in the great wars!

For many, it has left a permanent scar — A lifelong economic burden, an everlasting side effect or a chair that swings without the person who once sat in it. 2020 has sternly and loudly sent a message that we are all mortals and we should not take anything for granted. It definitely has written on the wall that what is given can be taken very easily from you in a matter of time.

When you fall, your mind stops to think about everything else and asks just 2 questions. One, how badly am I hurt and the other how can I prevent this from happening again. Those affected by this, will have to deal with it as long as they live and for those who have been spared will continuously resonate the apprehension if the Pandora’s box is empty or are there more jewels in the crown.

It also proved that as much as we trust the oracles and the clairvoyants, no one saw this coming — Absolutely no one in the entire world. So from now on we should enjoy every moment without excruciatingly trying to ponder what the future holds for us. On several occasions, history has shown us that it has an imperious habit of repeating itself. So whether a phenomenon like this ever happens again in our lifetime is a question that will not have any statistical conclusion.

This has also been a year that has increased our social vocabulary with new words like, “Isolation”, “Social Distancing”, “Masking” etc. Masks not only act as an impediment for the virus but also to the words that come out. I do understand that it is a vital accessory to control the pandemic but they make it very hard for the listener to decode every word that get’s inordinately distorted. I strongly believe that this new attire should be included in the book of etiquette where a masked person wanting to communicate with you begins with the phrase, “Pardon my Manners.” This will not only give me time to drop every other thought I am having at that moment but also pay close attention to the fact that I need to maintain the required distance and not extend my hand even if I approve of the other person entering my social circle after the brief introduction!
The Benefits of Being a Shape-Shifter

We’re in a global crisis, so I thought I’d write something (hopefully) funny to spread some Christmas cheer.

Imagine you’ve been given the ability to shape-shift. You can turn into anything and anyone you’d like. Well, within reason, of course. You can’t turn into a planet. Or a mountain.

You see, being a shape-shifter is awesome. Just think about it.

You want to get your book published. You want to get it out there. You know what you wrote is great. Bestseller potential. Well, okay. You’ve been told it’s great by many people. Maybe they’re being honest, maybe they didn’t want to be rude. Just take the compliment! It’s really, really difficult to publish a bestseller. Bordering on impossible. Or close to impossible. You know it and I know it. We need a plan. First, we need to find the right literary agent, the right publisher. As you know, they don’t read unsolicited manuscripts. But you and I have concocted a crafty scheme: I’ll turn into a girl with a French accent and you’ll turn into a celebrity who endorses my book. I don’t really speak French, so I’ll just fake the accent and call myself Marie. I’ll add some Korean heritage to the mix. This world’s all about appearances so hey — let’s use it to our advantage! And everyone, okay, most people, just love French accents. Hey, why do people tell me I sound like a German when I want to fake my French accent? Anyway, why is French so lovely? Well, not sure about Quebec, but French . . . oui. Cultural marketing but that’s something for another article. Oh, right. I’ll need a Twitter account first. You know, so I can watch all the agents just swooning over me. You’re looking for a job. You can use your shape-shifting powers, oh my! You need to get off the Earth. Maybe a romance-seeking alien’s going to abduct you and take you to a civilized, parallel, Earth without all the pandemics and general mayhem? Military draft. Always useful when you want to avoid it. David Icke would finally be proven right. Spying on a spouse — but do it only when you suspect something!

Needless to say, it’s so much fun. The problem is: what happens when your identity starts to disintegrate? When you’re so many people, your core sense of self is going to start collapsing. Or not. No one really knows.
Arrested for Peaceful Protest at the State Capital, June 1st 2020
By: Emily Maxine Sylvia

On the steps of the capital were tanks.

State Patrol didn’t surround us and arrest us right after curfew, instead electing to point guns at us as we sat and sang.

Chanting the names of those murdered, writing the number to call for bail on our arms, and singing what we could remember of Bill Withers’ Lean On Me.

Meanwhile they blocked the med bus, holding it hostage until they could arrest everyone inside for breaking curfew.

We were handcuffed with zip-ties, some too loose, some far too tight.

The arresting officers had to be told what they were arresting us for.

We had to offer up our signs to write on because they didn’t think to bring clipboards. The officer who arrested me had to ask 3 times where he was when he was at the state capital.

After what felt like 2 hours of sitting on the grass, we were put in paddywagons, no idea where we were headed.

After another eon in booking, they put 12 of us in a 3 person cell during a pandemic.

None of the officers at the detention center wore face or hand coverings.

We were stuck there with no updates and no way to tell the time for hours, forced to piss in front of eachother; no doubt part of the humiliation tactics.

We saw from the little window of our cell someone too sick to move or think, almost catatonic just sitting in a chair wide open in the middle of the building. At one point he was interacted with by someone in a biohazard suit. We were corralled past him with nothing but mouth coverings.

My cell was full of people who’d never been arrested before, even a lawyer. We all knew our constitutional rights were being violated.

We had every single finger and palm print scanned, photographed, eyes scanned.

People with criminal records were forced to repeat their name and “United States, United States” into a pay phone. Put into a room built to make whispers so loud they hurt your ears, disorientating as hell and nigh impossible to understand anything. Where it feels like every sound, even your voice, comes from all angles at once.

I was let out with 1 other person at 4:46am, into one of the most dangerous neighborhoods of Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

We had to walk 5 miles to get to her car, past barricades and national guard snipers.

A few days prior, I had my friend write my mother’s cell phone number on one of my arms, and the number to call for bail on the other. It turns out I didn’t need the latter because the arrest was deemed unconstitutional by the court without me even having to show up. I was held illegally and unconstitutionally with no recourse.

A cop at the detention center said “When you grow up you’re going to regret this” to me. I sincerely hope the same for her.
Digital Covid-19 tracking offers fresh opportunities for the Orwellian surveillance state to spy on Americans and crush dissent — EFF

Digital Covid-19 tracking offers fresh opportunities for the Orwellian surveillance state to spy on Americans and crush dissent — EFF Lighthouse News ·Dec 26, 2020

“The U.S. government is not known for its inclination to give back surveillance powers seized during extraordinary moments.”

“[T]he infamous face surveillance company, Clearview AI, is in talks with the government to create a system that would use face recognition in public places to identify unknown people who may have been infected by a known carrier. This proposal would create a massive surveillance infrastructure, linked to billions of social media images, that could allow the government to readily identify people in public spaces, including protesters, by scanning footage of them against images found online.”

If anyone had told me at the beginning of the year that 2020 would go down in the annals of history…

If anyone had told me at the beginning of the year that 2020 would go down in the annals of history as one of the worst years, I would have scoffed them off as a pessimist of the highest order. Turns out with every passing month, the year is getting worse for every group of the society in its own ways. This time, even our food providers weren't spared!

If anything, we in 2020 have access to media and information. On 30 November, India Today estimated that between 200,000 and 300,000 farmers were converging at various border points on the way to New Delhi as a part of protest against the new Farm Bills, 2020 which are infamously called the Anti-Farmer bills.

Various student bodies across the country started collecting funds, and so did we at our college. We raised a fund of ₹80k which we used to provide food, basic medicines and other things to those who are on the roads in this freezing winter. I, along with fellow medical students, went to the border in an ambulance on December 02. Soon after reaching, we had patients coming up to us with general complaints like acidity, diarrhoea, constipation or body aches. A couple of nights passed, and we knew that we couldn't afford coming back as there were many in need of medical help.

Midnight of December 04 brought to us a patient in excruciating pain due to BPH but we had no medications available. Hurriedly, we called in an ambulance and took him to FIMS, Sonepat for catheterization. Every day, we had elderly people coming to us with pain in joints and back, and yet, upon being requested to return, they always replied that they had not gone there to depart as beggared. One day, an 80-something man got his hand severely lacerated due to barbed wire and while media reporters demanded him to return, he smilingly replied that it's just a cut on his hand, why would he go back for that?

Weirdly, it gives you a sense of pride when such incidents are being covered by international media houses like BBC, Forbes and even reporters from Holland. The state of Punjab had seen such massive movement in 1947 and it's not wrong being said that history is repeating itself. We, the medical fraternity, stand in support with our farmers."

DON’T BE FOOLED: This Stay is Temporary — Take Action!
By: Death Penalty Action
Tags: Human Trafficking, Social Justice, Protest, Domestic Violence, Death Penalty

At least ten people messaged me yesterday and today, excited at the news that Lisa Montgomery got a stay of execution. Lisa is the only woman on federal death row. She is severely mentally ill. If killed, she will be the first woman executed by the federal government in 70 years.

​It’s true that she has a new stay, but it is a technicality. The judge ruled that the government was premature in setting a new execution date, and should not have done so until after the stay currently in place expires on December 31st.

What we know is that the federal government will stop at nothing to carry out the orders of Donald Trump. On July 13th, the execution warrant expired at midnight for Daniel Lee. We all thought he’d have at least a few more weeks. Nope. The government gave him a new warrant setting his new date for immediately. He was dead before 8:30am. His lawyers learned about it from a tweet.

Plainly put, executions are wrong and we need to do everything we can to stop them. Which is why I have to ask, can you chip in $18, $36, $72, or any amount you can so that we have the resources to prevent the next federal execution?

$18 » $36 » $72 » Other »

Without your help we won’t have the resources we need to pressure AG Rosen to do the right thing and stop all of these federal executions. Chip in any amount here.

Yours in the Struggle,

— Abe
