How To Help Robb Elementary Shooting Victims And The Uvalde Community

 Nineteen children and two adults were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday. It is the deadliest school shooting in the state’s history, and the second deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. Authorities and hospital officials have said that others were injured, but that number has not yet been confirmed. The 18-year-old shooter, who is believed to have acted alone, was reportedly killed.mass shooting at elementary school in uvalde, texas leaves 21 dead including shooter

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has signed into law many measures to expand gun rights, called the massacre a “horrific tragedy that cannot be tolerated.” During a press conference, Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Hal Harrell held back tears while asking for “prayers to get through this.”

Members of the community are also in need of things like blood, legal volunteers, and monetary relief. Two Uvalde funeral homes, Hillcrest Memorial Funeral Home and Rushing-Estes-Knowles Mortuary, have already said on Facebook that they will not charge families of victims for any funeral services. Here are other ways you can help.uvalde shooting survivor cries

For people who live in Texas, South Texas Blood and Tissue, which provided blood in the wake of the shooting, is holding an emergency drive on Wednesday at Herby Ham Activity Center from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. South Texas Blood and Tissue also has available appointments over Memorial Day weekend, which can be scheduled online.

San Antonio’s University Health hospital, which is currently treating four shooting victims, is also asking for blood donations. University Health’s donor room has availability the rest of the week and appointments can be scheduled online.

GoFundMe has established a centralized hub for those who want to donate to the people affected by the Uvalde shooting. This is a safe way to give money to verified pages, including VictimsFirst, which is “dedicated to helping victims of mass shootings, terrorist attacks, and other mass casualty crimes.”

Prizes, Protests, and Pajama Parties: The View From Inside This Year’s Cannes Film Festival

Hình ảnh
 Two years after the pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 edition and following a muted run last summer, the world’s largest celebration of cinema returned to the Côte d’Azur for its 75th anniversary last week, kicking off a 10-day whirlwind of glamour, spectacle, and megawatt stars. The opening night on Tuesday set the tone. During a celebrity-strewn black-tie gala in the Palais des Festival’s Grand Théâtre Lumière, festival president Pierre Lescure bestowed upon the American actor Forest Whitaker an honorary Palme d’Or, the festival’s most prestigious award. In a moving and poignant acceptance speech, Whitaker—who has appeared in more than 30 films, including Good Morning Vietnam and The Last King of Scotland, for which he won the Oscar for best actor—told the audience that the first time he attended Cannes was in 1988 for Clint Eastwood’s film Bird, in which he played legendary jazz saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker. Whitaker was “just a kid,” he recalled, and was “blown...

 Strangely enough, I don’t feel like trash is important today. I don’t know why, maybe we can understand together? Because it’s really true, you can’t understand the world if you don’t understand trash. But for the past two, three years, I feel that trash doesn’t bring me anything. It's probably because it’s more of a fantasy: a super-high, super-low fantasy, and I’m trying to understand it now exactly and be more realistic. More practical. More useful. I don’t know why, but I think it’s a moment where you can be somehow serious in your work. I feel it’s not the moment for fantasies though—of course, we’ll always have fantasy—but because it’s so difficult to understand what’s happening… the metaverse, NFTs, all that kind of world that is run in parallel. Is it good? Is it wrong? Also cancel culture, all the big, big problems that are around. You have to change the way you think or adapt. Is it wrong? Is it good to talk about politics? Because, for instance, I’ve always refused to t...
