If a child in Florida’s Orange County Public Schools system wants to use a name that deviates in any way from their legal name, they must now submit a signed parental permission form.According to a memo released Monday, the new rule, while transparently targeted at trans kids, applies to all students, including cis students using common nicknames.“As an example, if the student is named Robert, but likes to be called the nickname Rob, the form must be filled out authorizing teachers and other personnel to call Robert the nickname Rob,” the new guidelines state.Such are the extremities to which far-right school boards are willing to go to oppress...

Armenians face genocide in Azerbaijan, former International Criminal Court prosecutor warns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:11:07 GMT

KORNIDZOR, Armenia (AP) — The former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court warned that Azerbaijan is preparing genocide against ethnic Armenians in its Nagorno-Karabakh region and called for the U.N. Security Council to bring the matter before the international tribunal.A report by Luis Moreno Ocampo issued Tuesday said Azerbaijan’s blockade of the only road leading from Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh seriously impedes food, medical supplies and other essentials to the region of about 120,000 people.“There is a reasonable basis to believe that a genocide is being committed,” Ocampo’s report said, noting that a U.N. convention defines genocide as including “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction.”“There are no crematories and there are no machete attacks. Starvation is the invisible genocide weapon. Without immediate dramatic change, this group of Armenians will be destroyed in a few wee...

Italy investigates train tunnel intrusion and bomb threat as the possible work of anarchists

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:11:07 GMT

ROME (AP) — Italian investigators are considering whether a tunnel intrusion and a bomb threat that stopped high-speed trains between Florence and Bologna was the work of anarchists, Italian state TV said Wednesday.Train traffic was suspended for more than four hours Tuesday evening on the heavily traveled line between the two cities after a conductor noticed people walking inside the tunnel. About the same time, someone anonymously reported a bomb in the tunnel, Italy’s state radio said. Thousands of travelers were stuck waiting in stations during Italy’s peak summer vacation period. A state railway spokesperson told RAI radio that train service resumed after a search of the tunnel turned up no bomb.Railroad police and the anti-terrorism unit of the Italian state police were looking into whether the tunnel interference might have been done as some kind of vendetta. Hours earlier, nine suspected anarchists were arrested in Genoa and other northern Italian cities, news agency L...

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The mother of a 30-year-old Michigan man who’s accused of making death threats against Democratic politicians is now charged with lying when she purchased firearms later found in her son’s possession. Threats against public officials have become increasingly common in Michigan in recent years. A plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was broken up by the FBI in 2020, and prosecutors have so far secured nine convictions in the case in state and federal courts. The charges unsealed Tuesday against Michelle Berka, 56, come after her son Randall Berka II was arrested in March and charged with illegally possessing guns. Federal prosecutors say he made death threats on social media against the president and governor, as well as people in the LGBTQ community. Authorities say Michelle Berka knowingly lied when she bought five guns that were eventually given to another person, according to an indictment unsealed in federal court Tuesday and first reported by T...
