Roosevelt who? 2020 Democrats steer clear of talking history

When Elizabeth Warren ended her bid for president, she spoke to campaign staff and signed off with a line that connected the Democratic senator from Massachusetts to one of the most famous politicians in the history of her state, Ted Kennedy. It was clear echo of the famous closing lines in Kennedy's 1980 speech at the Democratic convention, after he had ended his own presidential campaign: “The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.” Modern politicians talk less and less about the traditions and legacy of their own political parties.

Trump's top disease expert tells the elderly 'just don't get on a cruise ship' to avoid coronavirus

For most people, coronavirus symptoms are mild, but the elderly are much more susceptible. "If you're a person with an underlying condition — and you are particularly an elderly person with an underlying condition — you need to think twice about getting on a plane or on a long trip," Fauci said.

'We'll disappear': Thousands of Mexican women strike to protest femicide

Countless thousands of women and girls across Mexico have joined a historic strike to protest against the country's startling rates of gender-based violence – and the government's failure to respond to the crisis in which more than ten women are murdered every day. From factories along the Río Grande to businesses in the capital and offices in cities near the Guatemalan border, women and girls joined the unprecedented protest, billed as a Day Without Women. The strike sent a clear message to Mexican society, said Sandra Reyes, 33, a biologist at the National Cancer Institute, who was one of at least 80,000 people who joined the country's largest ever women's march on Sunday.
