Anonymous survivor, NPR interview: “I went to a purity ball at 14. I felt like I was marrying my dad. When I was sexually assaulted later, I blamed myself for ‘ruining’ my purity. That shame almost killed me.”

“When fathers put rings on their daughters’ fingers at purity balls, the message is clear: your body belongs to your dad now, and later, to your husband. Never to you.”

A kindergarten was hit in Ukraine's city Kharkiv there was widespread damage in Kyiv. Children were among the 27 wounded.
Hours earlier, US President Donald Trump said his plans for an imminent summit in Budapest with Russia's Vladimir Putin had been shelved as he did not want a "wasted meeting".

Had to go up North end of town today and stopped to take some photos as such a nice sunny day. One has the hospital in background . Waiting to see what they are doing today at hospital before I visit as going back and forth is tiring. But Bob said his IV is out.

Kind Charles rules like a real King does . He has dismissed his brother from all royal titles and invitations. Trump would have made him Prime Minister

King Charles acts like a real and proper King does. He would never rule over England like Trump does the US.
