John Lewismdash;mirrors a precedent established by his long career in politics and activism, which began with sit-ins at segregated lunch counters during the civil rights movement.We were moved by what I call the spirit of history to find a way to get in the way, Lewis said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday, describing the effort to push for gun control legislation.That phrase, get in the way, has been a recurring rallying cry for Lewis through his decades of activism.In a commencement address at Washington University in St. Louis last month, the Democratic Congressman from Georgia recalled his parents and grandparents telling him not to cause trouble over segregation. Donrsquo;t get in the way. Donrsquo;t get in trouble, they said. It was advice he resisted.Watch the sit-in live below:The action of Rosa Parks and the words and leadership of Dr. [Martin Luther] King [Jr.] inspired me to find a way to get in the way, Lewis told the graduates.

HenniganOctober 6, 2022 3:38 PM EDTNot long after North Korea launched its fifth weapons test in 10 days Tuesday, firing a ballistic-missile high above northern Japan, a familiar routine began to unfold. Leaders from the U.S., South Korea and Japan issued strongly worded statements condemning the dangerous and destabilizing provocation. American and South Korean militaries conducted 8220 how of force exercises, sending fighter jets to bomb a deserted island in the Yellow Sea, later lobbing several missiles of their own into the vast Sea of Japan. On Wednesday, the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan was moved off the east coast of the Korean peninsula. Within hours Pyongyang launched another missile into the Sea of Japan and then, on Thursday, flew 12 fighter jets and bombers near its border with South Korea, triggering the South to scramble 30 warplanes in response.For more than 30 years, the U.S. and its Asian allies have responded to North Korean demonstrations of ever-advancing weapons technology with their own shows of force. But the escalation spiral of the last few days is the latest indication that coercive tactics by the U.S. and its allies are failing to compel North Korea to curtail its missile and nuclear programs .

Wdyw Latin America s Longest Running Guerrilla Conflict May Finally Be Ending By Astha RajvanshiMarch 24, 2023 2:52 PM EDTRahul Gandhi, the de facto leader of Indiarsquo main opposition party, was expelled from Parliament after being criminally convicted of defamation on Thursday. These are flimsy cooked up charges, Praveen Chakravarty, a spokesperson for the Indian National Congress, told TIME in a statement. Congress has accused the government of In dian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of plain vendetta after Gandhi spoke against the Indian billionaire tycoon, Gautam Adani, in Parliament.On Thursday, a local court in the western state of Gujarat convicted and sentenced 52-year-old Gandhi to two years in prison over a speech he made during an election rally in 2019, during which he said: Why do all thieves have Modi as their surname Gandhirsquo remarks referred to the Prime Minister along with Nirav Modi, a fugitive diamond tycoon, and Lalit Modi, the banned founder of the Indian Premier League. The defamation claim was filed by Purnesh Modi, a member of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party BJP , who said that Gandhirsquo comment defamed the entire Modi community.rdquo ;The Congress spokesperson told TIME that th e party will be pursuing legal and political action. We will appeal the conviction in higher courts but understand that the process is the punishment, Chakravarty said.

What it means for the just-started 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, which have begun as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, will become clear as the Games play out over the next month.The study, by members of the Bureau of International Health Cooperation, the National Center for Global Health and Medicine Tokyo, the Infectious Diseases Control Cent er and Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, focused on athletes, coaches, and support staff during both the Olympic and Paralympic Games who stayed in the Olympic Village.
