Kamala Harris was discussing the importance of elections and public demonstrations for democracy at George Mason University. After she offered attendees to ask some questions, a self-described "part-Yemeni, part-Iranian" female student raised an issue.
🗣 "It hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people - the same that happened in America - and I’m sure you’re aware of this", the student said.
Kamala didn't confront the student over her statements, praising her instead for raising the issue.

❌ An Airbnb host, who used old illegal vans as cut-rate rentals in New York, has been banned from the platform.
The move comes after police last week seized seven vehicles that authorities said had been used as cheap rentals. On the platform, the vans were touted as a cheap and easy way to experience “glamp” life.
It is unclear how the host, a mysterious woman named Nancy, managed to get a verified checkmark.

⚡️ Senate passes extension of highway funding for 30 days amid infrastructure stalls
👀 Residents of the city of Douglasville in Georgia have for months been receiving threats they thought were sent by a white male KKK member. The ill-fated sender turned out to be their neighbour, 30-year-old black woman Terresha Lucas.
"The notes threatened to burn their houses down and kill them and said that they didn’t belong in the neighbourhood", detective Nathan Shumaker told Fox 5 Atlanta.
For several months, the police had to conduct door-to-door investigations questioning residents and examining surveillance videos.
The results of the extensive work turned out to be quite unexpected: while the contents of the notes implied that the author was a white male and a member of the KKK, the suspect turned out to be a 30-year-old African-American woman, Terresha Lucas, who has since been charged.

Former US President Donald Trump asked the court to compel Twitter to restore his account without waiting for the completion of a larger lawsuit against the social network.
Twitter has not responded to Trump's appeal to the court.
Trump has been suing Facebook, Twitter and Google since July, demanding that what his legal team describes as censorship be recognized as unconstitutional, and that he should get his account back, so as to reach his multi-million Internet followers. He also seeks to gain monetary compensation for having his account blocked.
