  • Is Kamala Harris Typical 2
    Kamala Harris, center, in a yearbook photo from 1981 with fellow graduates at Westmount High. By Dan Bilefsky Published Oct. 5, 2020Updated Nov. 3, 2020 MONTREAL — There were heirs to Canadan fortunes who lived in hillside mansions and arrived at their high school in luxury cars. There were children of Caribbean immigrants who commuted by bus or subway from a historically Black neighborhood. There were Anglophones, Francophones and kids from Chinatown. And then there was Kamala Harris, an extroverted American teenager who had moved to Montreal from California at age 12, dreamed of becoming a lawyer and liked dancing to Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. Thrown into one of Montreal’s most diverse public high schools, the young Ms. Harris — whose father was from Jamaica and mother from India — identified as African-American, her friends from high school recalled. At the same time, they said, she deftly navigated the competing racial and social divisions at the school. “In high school, you were either in the white or the Black group,” said Wanda Kagan, her best friend from Westmount High School, who had a white mother and an African-American father. “We didn’t fit exactly into either, so we made ourselves fit into both.” The future senator spent her formative adolescent years in a multicultural environment typical of many Canadian public schools. As she makes history as the first woman of color on a presidential ticket, Canadians have claimed her as a native daughter, seeing her as an embodiment of the country’s progressive politics. Wanda Kagan, Kamala Harris’s best friend from high school, lived with Ms.

Shattering all rules and traditions of the constitutional and parliamentary system, police and goons entered the Assembly, brutally beat up opposition MLAs and pushed them out, after which BJP-JDU passed the draconian Bihar Special Armed Police Bill 2021 changing Bihar into a Police Raj.

At 5 pm before the session was to end, a large number of RAF police personnel were called inside the Assembly on the orders of the Speaker and the government. Marshals were of course already present. The Bihar DGP, Patna SSP and DM jointly oversaw the beating, kicking, fisticuffing of MLAs as they were pushed and dragged out of the Assembly. The SSP and DM were themselves among those who did the brutal beating. The entire Assembly was filled with police personnel and the Police Raj Act was passed in the complete absence of the Opposition. Journalists were also beaten up. Leader of CPIML legislative party Comrade Mahboob Alam's arm was twisted and wrenched. Comrade Sudama Prasad was pushed and shoved and he fell down the stairs, causing a serious finger injury.

  • Resolution Calling on the BUSD Board and Superintendent to Consider Renaming Thousand Oaks Elementary to Kamala Harris Elementary School
    Page 1 of 4 CONSENT CALENDAR December 1, 2020 To: Honorable Members of the City Council From: Vice Mayor Sophie Hahn (Author) Subject: Resolution calling on the BUSD Board and Superintendent to Consider Renaming Thousand Oaks Elementary to Kamala Harris Elementary School RECOMMENDATION Adopt a Resolution calling on the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) Board and Superintendent to consider initiating a process, pursuant to BUSD Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 7310, to rename Thousand Oaks Elementary School to Kamala Harris Elementary School in honor of Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris. BACKGROUND On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were elected as the next President and Vice President of the United States, having received the largest number of votes in U.S. history. Vice President-Elect Harris is the first African American and Indian American woman to be elected to the Office of Vice President or President. Kamala Harris was born in 1964 to two graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley -- her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, from India and father, Donald Harris, from Jamaica. As Senator Harris said in the speech accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for Vice President, she “got a stroller’s-eye view” of the civil rights movement of the 1960s as her parents marched for justice in the streets of Berkeley. Kamala Harris grew up in West Berkeley and attended Thousand Oaks Elementary School in District 5. She was in the second class to be part of the Berkeley school integration program -- an innovative two-way busing plan designed to fully integrate Berkeley’s public schools.

  • 2021 Manifesto of the Left Front the Backdrop of the Election the Dates for the West Beng
    P a g e | 1 17th Assembly Election in West Bengal: 2021 Manifesto of the Left Front The Backdrop of the Election The dates for the West Bengal State Assembly elections have been announced. We are all aware that for the last one year or so, the struggle of human civilization against the corona pandemic has been going on. Our daily life as well as our movements and struggles are being conducted following all necessary precautions. In this situation, between March 27 and April 29 elections will be held in eight phases in the state of West Bengal. For the large majority of the people of the state this election is the battle for restoring democracy, the battle to end mis- governance and anarchy in the state. For the last ten years the Trinamool Congress party and its government has been running a regime of authoritarian terror in the state. Democratic voices have been throttled in a dictatorial manner. On the one hand, nepotism, corruption, extortion, syndicate rule have been unleashed and on the other hand, attacks have come down on workers, peasants, students, youth and women. Minorities, Scheduled Castes and Indigenous Peoples are similarly under attack. In the forthcoming assembly elections, the people have to concentrate all their strength to bring an end to this disastrous TrinamuIi regime. The Narendra Modi-led RSS-BJP government at the Centre are enforcing agricultural laws and restructuring labour laws all in the interest of corporate business alone. They are relentlessly implementing neo-liberal policies. The lives of ordinary people, including workers and peasants, have become miserable.

Following is the article. __________ Announcing details of the historic agreement for full diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday night hailed what he called a “new era of Israeli relations with the Arab world,” and said other deals with Arab countries would follow. He also insisted that he would continue to seek to extend Israeli sovereignty to parts of the West Bank land, in coordination with the US, but acknowl- edged that his plan for unilateral annexation was being temporarily halted, in line with the joint statement issued by the US, Israel and the UAE which spec- ified that Israel would “suspend” the move.
