STOP EXECUTION OF DUSTIN HIGGS
Dustin Higgs was convicted and sentenced to the federal death penalty as an accomplice to the 1996 murders of Tanji Jackson, Tamika Black a
Dustin Higgs is scheduled to be executed on January 15, 2021, in revenge for his role in the murders of Tamika Black, 19, Tanji Jackson, 21, and Mishann Chinn, 23. Shawn Nolan, attorney for Mr. Higgs, said in a statement: "Dustin Higgs did not kill anyone and should not be executed. All witnesses agree that the sole shooter was Mr. Higgs’ co-defendant, Willis Haynes, who was tried separately and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of release. It would be arbitrary and inequitable to punish Mr Higgs on these grounds
SIGN PETITION TO STOP EXCECUTION OF COREY JOHNSON
Killing a man with an intellectual disability, who can't even understand why he's being killed, is a complete travesty of justice. Help stop this unlawful execution. Sign the petition.

Coronavirus and Swine Flu summarized tips in different languages as best as I can at the moment (as English is my only known language T_T).
Also*: Try to stay away from crowded places.
This list will try to be updated.*
French:
Lavez-vous les mains tout le temps en revenant de l'extérieur.
Assurez-vous toujours que votre viande est cuite / entièrement chaude / entièrement chauffée. Même lorsque vous achetez dans des restaurants, vérifiez toujours. (La nourriture bouillie est en fait recommandée.) Faites très attention aux œufs et à la viande.
Pour l'instant, essayez de ne pas acheter en Chine (et dans la plupart des pays asiatiques comme le Japon et l'Inde). Il y a déjà eu des cas confirmés de personnes atteintes de coronavirus. Et aussi, la recherche a indiqué que le virus peut rester sur un élément pendant au moins 7 semaines.
Portez le masque facial tout le temps lorsque vous sortez. Mais essayez surtout de rester à l'écart de toute personne qui éternue, tousse ou a même l'air malade. (Vous pouvez même poliment recommander aux malades d'aller à l'hôpital pour vérifier. Et aussi, si vous voyez quelqu'un allongé par terre, appelez l'ambulance, mais restez à distance!)
Cela signifie également que vous devez rester à l'écart des animaux malades. (Et appelez également un vétérinaire si vous voyez un animal malade mais gardez la distance.)
German:
Waschen Sie sich die ganze Zeit die Hände, wenn Sie von außen zurückkehren.
Stellen Sie immer sicher, dass Ihr Fleisch gekocht / voll heiß / voll erhitzt ist. Auch beim Kauf in Restaurants immer nachschauen. (Gekochtes Essen wird empfohlen.) Seien Sie sehr vorsichtig mit Eiern und Fleisch.
Stellen Sie immer sicher, dass Ihr Fleisch gekocht / voll heiß / voll erhitzt ist. Auch wenn man sich aber von resteraunts immer erkundigt. (Gekochtes Essen wird empfohlen.) Seien Sie sehr vorsichtig mit Eiern und Fleisch.
Versuchen Sie vorerst, nicht aus China (und den meisten asiatischen Ländern wie Japan und Indien) zu kaufen. Es wurden bereits Fälle von Personen mit Coronavirus bestätigt. Untersuchungen haben außerdem ergeben, dass das Virus mindestens 7 Wochen auf einem Objekt verbleiben kann.
Tragen Sie beim Ausgehen immer die Gesichtsmaske. Aber versuche hauptsächlich, dich von allen fern zu halten, die niesen, husten oder sogar krank aussehen. (Sie können den Kranken höflichst sogar empfehlen, zur Untersuchung ins Krankenhaus zu gehen. Wenn Sie jemanden auf dem Boden liegen sehen, rufen Sie den Krankenwagen an - aber bleiben Sie in einiger Entfernung!)
Dies bedeutet auch, dass Sie sich von kranken Tieren fernhalten müssen. (Und rufen Sie auch einen Tierarzt an, wenn Sie ein krankes Tier sehen, aber Abstand halten.)
Spanish:
Lávese las manos todo el tiempo cuando regrese de afuera.
Siempre asegúrese de que su carne esté cocida / totalmente caliente / completamente calentada. Incluso cuando compra en restaurantes siempre verifique. (En realidad, se recomienda la comida hervida). Tenga mucho cuidado con los huevos y la carne.Siempre asegúrese de que su carne esté cocida / totalmente caliente / completamente calentada. Incluso cuando usted pero de los restaurantes siempre verifique. (En realidad, se recomienda la comida hervida). Tenga mucho cuidado con los huevos y la carne.
Por ahora, trate de no comprar a China (y a la mayoría de Asia, como Japón e India). Ya se han confirmado casos de personas con coronavirus. Y también, la investigación ha dicho que el virus puede permanecer en un elemento durante al menos 7 semanas.
Use la mascarilla todo el tiempo cuando salga. Pero principalmente trata de mantenerte alejado de cualquier persona que estornude, tosa o incluso parezca enferma. (Incluso puede recomendar cortésmente a los enfermos que vayan al hospital a revisar. Y también, si ve a alguien tirado en el piso, llame a la ambulancia, ¡pero quédese a cierta distancia!)
Esto también significa que debe mantenerse alejado de los animales enfermos. (Y también llame a un veterinario si ve un animal enfermo pero se mantiene alejado).
Portuguese:
Lave as mãos o tempo todo quando voltar de fora.
Sempre verifique se a carne está cozida / totalmente quente / totalmente aquecida. Mesmo quando você compra em restaurantes, verifique sempre. (Comida cozida é realmente recomendada.) Tenha muito cuidado com ovos e carne.
Por enquanto, tente não comprar da China (e da maioria da Ásia, como Japão e Índia). Já foram confirmados casos de pessoas com coronavírus. E também, a pesquisa disse que o vírus pode permanecer em um item por pelo menos 7 semanas.
Use a máscara o tempo todo ao sair. Mas principalmente tente ficar longe de qualquer pessoa que espirre, tosse ou até pareça doente. (Você pode até mesmo recomendar educadamente que o doente vá ao hospital para verificar. E também, se vir alguém deitado no chão, ligue para a ambulância - mas fique longe!)
Isso também significa que você deve ficar longe de animais doentes. (E também chame um veterinário se você vir um animal doente, mas mantenha distância.)
Malay:
Basuh tangan anda sepanjang masa apabila kembali dari luar.
Sentiasa pastikan daging anda dimasak / dipanaskan sepenuhnya / panas sepenuhnya. Walaupun anda membeli dari restoran selalu semak. (Makanan rebus sebenarnya disyorkan.) Berhati-hati dengan telur dan daging.
Buat masa ini, cuba untuk tidak membeli dari China (dan kebanyakan Asia seperti Jepun dan India). Terdapat kes disahkan oleh orang dengan coronavirus. Dan juga, penyelidikan telah mengatakan bahawa virus itu boleh kekal pada item selama sekurang-kurangnya 7 minggu.
Pakai topeng muka sepanjang masa apabila keluar. Tetapi terutamanya hanya cuba menjauhkan diri daripada sesiapa bersin, batuk atau kelihatan sakit. (Anda juga boleh mengesyorkan orang yang sakit untuk pergi ke hospital untuk memeriksa. Dan, jika anda melihat seseorang berbaring di atas lantai, hubungi ambulans - tetapi tinggal di jauh!)
Indonesian:
Cuci tangan Anda setiap saat ketika kembali dari luar.
Selalu pastikan daging Anda dimasak / sepenuhnya panas / sepenuhnya panas. Bahkan ketika Anda membeli dari restoran selalu periksa. (Makanan rebus sebenarnya direkomendasikan.) Hati-hati dengan telur dan daging.
Untuk saat ini, cobalah untuk tidak membeli dari China (dan sebagian besar Asia seperti Jepang dan India). Sudah ada kasus yang dikonfirmasi dari orang dengan coronavirus. Dan juga, penelitian telah mengatakan bahwa virus dapat tetap pada item selama setidaknya 7 minggu.
Kenakan masker wajah setiap saat saat keluar. Tetapi terutama hanya berusaha untuk menjauh dari siapa pun yang bersin, batuk atau bahkan terlihat sakit. (Anda bahkan dapat dengan sopan merekomendasikan orang sakit untuk pergi ke rumah sakit untuk memeriksanya. Dan juga, jika Anda melihat seseorang berbaring di lantai, hubungi ambulans - tetapi tetaplah jauh!)
Ini juga berarti Anda harus menjauhi binatang yang sakit. (Dan juga panggil dokter hewan jika Anda melihat binatang yang sakit tetapi jaga jarak.)
Filipino:
Hugasan ang iyong mga kamay sa lahat ng oras kapag bumalik mula sa labas.
Laging tiyakin na ang iyong karne ay luto / ganap na mainit / ganap na pinainit. Kahit na kapag bumili ka mula sa mga restawran palaging suriin. (Ang pinakuluang pagkain ay inirerekumenda.) Maging maingat sa mga itlog at karne.
Sa ngayon, subukang huwag bumili mula sa China (at karamihan sa Asya tulad ng Japan at India). Nagkumpirma na ang mga kaso ng mga taong may coronavirus. At din, sinabi ng pananaliksik na ang virus ay maaaring manatili sa isang item nang hindi bababa sa 7 linggo.
Magsuot ng mask ng mukha sa tuwing lalabas. Ngunit higit sa lahat subukan lamang na lumayo mula sa sinumang may pagbahing, pag-ubo o kahit na may sakit. (Maaari mong magalang kahit na inirerekumenda ang may sakit na pumunta sa ospital upang suriin. At din, kung may nakita kang isang tao na nakahiga sa sahig, tumawag sa ambulansya - ngunit manatili sa malayo!)
Nangangahulugan din ito na dapat kang lumayo sa mga hayop na may sakit. (At tumawag din sa isang hayop na hayop kung nakakita ka ng isang may sakit na hayop ngunit manatiling distansya.)
Hindi:
बाहर से वापस आने पर हर समय अपने हाथ धोएं।
हमेशा सुनिश्चित करें कि आपका मांस पकाया जाता है / पूरी तरह से गर्म / पूरी तरह से गर्म। यहां तक कि जब आप रेस्तरां से खरीदते हैं तो हमेशा जांचें। (उबला हुआ भोजन वास्तव में अनुशंसित है।) अंडे और मांस से बहुत सावधान रहें।
अभी के लिए, चीन (और जापान और भारत जैसे एशिया के अधिकांश) से खरीदारी न करने का प्रयास करें। कोरोनावायरस वाले लोगों के मामलों की पुष्टि पहले ही हो चुकी है। और यह भी, अनुसंधान ने कहा है कि वायरस किसी वस्तु पर कम से कम 7 सप्ताह तक रह सकता है।
बाहर जाते समय हर समय फेस मास्क पहनें। लेकिन मुख्य रूप से सिर्फ छींकने, खांसने या यहां तक कि बीमार दिखने से दूर रहने की कोशिश करें। (आप विनम्रता से बीमार को भी अस्पताल में जाँच के लिए जाने की सलाह दे सकते हैं। और, यदि आप किसी को फर्श पर लेटे हुए देखते हैं, तो एम्बुलेंस को कॉल करें- लेकिन थोड़ी दूरी पर रहें!)
इसका मतलब यह भी है कि आपको बीमार जानवरों से दूर रहना चाहिए। (और एक पशु चिकित्सक को भी कॉल करें यदि आप एक बीमार जानवर देखते हैं लेकिन दूरी बनाए रखें।)
Urdu:
باہر سے واپس آتے وقت ہر وقت اپنے ہاتھ دھوئے۔
ہ میشہ یہ یقینی بنائیں کہ آپ کا گوشت پکا ہوا ہے / پوری طرح سے گرم / پوری طرح سے گرم ہے۔ یہاں تک کہ جب آپ ریستوراں سے خریدتے ہیں تو ہمیشہ چیک کریں۔ (اصل میں ابلا ہوا کھانا تجویز کیا جاتا ہے۔) انڈوں اور گوشت سے بہت محتاط رہیں۔
ابھی کے ل ، چین (اور بیشتر ایشیا جیسے جاپان اور ہندوستان) سے خریداری نہ کرنے کی کوشش کریں۔ کورونا وائرس میں مبتلا افراد کے معاملات کی تصدیق پہلے ہی ہوچکی ہے۔ اور یہ بھی ، تحقیق میں کہا گیا ہے کہ وائرس کم سے کم 7 ہفتوں تک کسی شے پر رہ سکتا ہے۔
باہر جاتے وقت ہر وقت چہرے کا ماسک پہنیں۔ لیکن بنیادی طور پر صرف چھینکنے ، کھانسی یا یہاں تک کہ بیمار دکھائی دینے والے سے کسی سے دور رہنے کی کوشش کریں۔ (آپ شائستہ طور پر بھی بیماروں کو ہسپتال جانے کی سفارش کر سکتے ہیں کہ وہ چیک کریں۔ اور یہ بھی ، اگر آپ فرش پر کسی کو پڑا ہوا دیکھتے ہیں تو ، ایمبولینس کو کال کریں- لیکن کچھ فاصلے پر ہی رہیں!)
اس کا مطلب یہ بھی ہے کہ آپ کو بیمار جانوروں سے دور رہنا چاہئے۔ (اور اگر آپ کو کوئی بیمار جانور نظر آتا ہے لیکن فاصلہ رکھیں تو ڈاکٹر کو بھی کال کریں۔)
Italian:
Lava sempre le mani quando torni dall'esterno.
Assicurati sempre che la tua carne sia cotta / completamente calda / completamente riscaldata. Anche quando acquisti dai ristoranti controlla sempre. (Il cibo bollito è in realtà raccomandato.) Fai molta attenzione alle uova e alla carne.
Per ora, cerca di non comprare dalla Cina (e dalla maggior parte dell'Asia come Giappone e India). Sono già stati confermati casi di persone con coronavirus. Inoltre, la ricerca ha affermato che il virus può rimanere su un oggetto per almeno 7 settimane.
Indossa sempre la maschera quando esci. Ma soprattutto cerca di stare lontano da chiunque starnutisca, tossisca o addirittura sembri malato. (Puoi anche educatamente raccomandare ai malati di andare in ospedale per controllare. E anche, se vedi qualcuno sdraiato sul pavimento, chiama l'ambulanza, ma stai a distanza!)
Questo significa anche che devi stare lontano dagli animali malati. (E chiama anche un veterinario se vedi un animale malato ma tieni le distanze.)
Arabic:
اغسل يديك طوال الوقت عند العودة من الخارج
احرص دائمًا على طهي اللحم / تسخينه بالكامل / تسخينه بالكامل. حتى عند الشراء من المطاعم تحقق دائما. (ينصح بتناول الطعام المغلي.) كن حذرًا جدًا من البيض واللحوم.
ارتداء قناع الوجه في كل وقت عند الخروج. لكن حاول فقط الابتعاد عن أي شخص عطاس أو سعال أو حتى يبدو مريضاً. (يمكنك أن توصي بأدب المرضى بالذهاب إلى المستشفى للتحقق. وأيضًا ، إذا رأيت شخصًا يرقد على الأرض ، فاتصل بسيارة الإسعاف - لكن ابق على مسافة!)
هذا يعني أيضًا أنه يجب عليك الابتعاد عن الحيوانات المريضة. (واتصل أيضًا بطبيب بيطري إذا رأيت حيوانًا مريضًا ولكن حافظ على المسافة.)
الآن ، حاول ألا تشتري من الصين (ومعظم آسيا مثل اليابان والهند). هناك بالفعل حالات مؤكدة لأشخاص مصابين بفيروس كورونا. وكذلك ، قال البحث إن الفيروس يمكن أن يبقى على عنصر لمدة 7 أسابيع على الأقل.

Şuan salgın halinde olan Korona virüsü ve Domuz gribi için bazı önlemler!
Çünkü yediğimiz yiyeceklerin çoğu asyadan ithal ediliyor!
Dışarıdan gelirken veya bir iç mekana girerken ellerinizi yıkayın.
Beyaz/kırmızı eti her zaman tam pişirin/ısıtın.
Restoranlarda yerken de etin tam piştiğinden ve güvenli yerlerden yediğinize emin olun. (Tamamen haşlanmış yiyecekler daha güvenlidir)
Yumurta, et gibi hayvansal gıdalara dikkat edin.
Bu dönem boyunca Çin'den ithal (ve çoğu Japonya veya Hindistan gibi asya ülkelerinden) ürün almamaya çalışın. Bu ülkelerde belirtilen vaka sayısı gün geçtikçe artıyor. Ve yapılan araştırmalar virüsün herhangi bir ürünün üstünde 7 haftaya kadar kalabildiğini söylüyor.
Şuan da kullanımı genel olmasa da dışarıda ve ortak alanlarda yüz maskesi takmaya özen gösterin. Ve hepsinden öte öksüren ve hapşıran, hasta görünen insanlara çok yaklaşmayın. (Belki nazikçe salgın hakkımda bilgilendirip doktora gitmelerini önerebilirsiniz.)
Hastalıklı evcil/evcil olmayan hayvanlardan da uzak durmalısınız. (Bu durumlarda bir veterineri arıyabilir veya kendiniz götürebilirsiniz ama önce kendi sağlığınızı korumaya bakın.)
Hızlı bir çeviri olduğu için yanlışlarım veya herkesin durumuna uyamıyacak olan yerler olabilir 🙇
Lütfen salgın boyunca kendinize iyi bakın ve etrafınızdakileri bilgilendirin!
Dutch:
(Credits to @yippeekiyaymotherfckers.)
Was je handen altijd wanneer je van buiten komt.
Wanneer je vlees eet, verzeker dan dat het goed gekookt/gebakken/opgewarmd is. Zelfs in restaurants is het het beste als je eerst checkt voor je iets eet. (Gekookt vlees is eigenlijk het beste.) Pas op met eieren en vlees.
Probeer niets te kopen uit China (en andere Aziatische landen zoals Japan of India). Daar zijn er namelijk ook al gevallen ontdekt. Daarnaast heeft onderzoek uitgewezen dat het virus minstens 7 weken overleeft op een voorwerp.
Draag altijd een gezichtsmasker wanneer je naar buiten gaat. Maar bovenal: blijf weg bij mensen die niezen, hoesten of er ziek uitzien. (Je kan iemand vriendelijk verzoeken naar het hospitaal te gaan voor een onderzoek. Als je iemand buiten westen op de grond ziet liggen, bel dan het noodnummer voor een ambulance, maar blijf op een afstand!)
Dit betekent dat je dus ook beter wegblijft bij zieke dieren (aangezien deze ook dragers kunnen zijn). Als je een ziek dier ziet, bel dan een dierenarts, maar blijf opnieuw op een veilige afstand.
Dutch Language OP’s Note: It’s Dutch/Nederlands, spoken in Belgium and the Netherlands. Hope it can be of some help!
Also! This post is totally open for better translations, more languages and dialects btw!✨💚 (And you can also make posts of your own with better editing and communication format❣️✨ But ya, hope all will be well.)
Also, if you were wondering...
This is my original translated text for comparison and easier correction:
Wash your hands all the time when coming back from the outside.
Always make sure your meat is cooked / fully hot / fully heated. Even when buying from restaurants, always check. (Boiled food is actually recommended.) Be very careful with eggs and meat.
For now try not to buy from China (and most Asian countries like Japan and India). There have already been confirmed cases of people with coronavirus. And also, research has indicated that the virus can stay on an item for at least 7 weeks.
Wear the face mask all the time when you go out. But above all, try to stay away from anyone who sneezes, coughs, or even looks sick. (You can even politely recommend that patients go to the hospital to check. And also, if you see someone lying on the floor, call the ambulance, but stay away!)
It also means that you should stay away from sick animals. (And also call a veterinarian if you see a sick animal but keep the distance.)
How to protect yourself from pneumonia and death during the 2019 NCoV coronavirus outbreak:
Follow directions from your local/regional/national infectious disease prevention authorities.
DON’T PANIC: Even in the city of Wuhan, where the disease was first identified and there are the most verified cases (even if all 900+ cases in China were localized to Wuhan (they aren’t)) there are still less than 1 verified case per 10,000 people (as of Jan 24, 2020). Your relative risk of exposure is low, even if you are in that city.
Please correct people referring to this virus as “Wuhan Coronavirus” or “Wuhan Fish-market Coronavirus.” The proper name is 2019 NCoV (en-cahv or en-cove) or 2019 Novel Coronavirus. We don’t name viruses by the city or town that they were discovered in because of the economic harm that is done by permanently associating a disease with a specific location. We use broader geographic names or a naming system focused on year and type.
Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer regularly, but within reason (too much can dry your skin out.). Basic hygiene will decrease your risk of contracting or transmitting any number of diseases. And yes, guys, even if you only “went number 1,” wash your hands. Penis sweat mixes with taint sweat, mixes with butcrack sweat. Wash your hands.
If you live in a city with an active outbreak of a disease spread by droplets or airborne particles, feel free to wear a face mask/respirator rated at N-95. (Droplets are the visible particles released when you sneeze. Airborne means that when/if those droplets dry out, the virus or bacteria survive and remain infectious. Many diseases spread by droplet routes cannot survive drying.) I’m more likely to wear a mask if air quality is bad, but if it makes you feel safer, it’s ok.
THIS MAY BE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT WAY TO PREVENT ILLNESS AND DEATH FROM DISEASES SPREAD BY AIRBORNE/DROPLET ROUTES.
GET YOUR DAMN FLU SHOT!
In the United States alone, every year, approximately 9.3-45 million people will have the flu. 140-810 thousand people will be hospitalized due to the flu, and 12-81 thousand people will die from the flu. (The wide range is due to some strains being more severe than others.) Beyond that, the risk of death from pneumonia and heart attacks/strokes goes up for the year after someone has a case of the flu, especially in elderly patients.
If you are around children, elderly people, people with weakened immune systems (cancer patients, organ transplant patients, etc.), or people that are not able to receive the flu shot because they are allergic to ingredients in the shot, or are unable to get the shot for any other reason, and you would rather not be responsible for increasing their risk of getting sick or dying, get your flu shot.
Seriously, unless you have been directly exposed to a patient with a verified case of 2019 NCoV, your risk of catching, being hospitalized, and dying from the flu is higher.
Again: You probably don’t need to be worried about dying from 2019 NCoV unless you have had contact with someone who had an active case of the disease. Statistically, you yourself (and the very young and very old that you care about) are at a much higher risk of catching the flu and dying from it than the Novel coronavirus.
You never get the flu? Good for you. Doesn’t mean you can’t catch it. You get sick after a flu shot? Not the shot’s fault (the shot contains no live/infectious viruses), you caught something that isn’t the flu. Sorry about your luck. Feeling a bit off the next day means that you are having a strong reaction to it.
If you don’t want to die during the 2019 NCoV outbreak, get your flu shot. Probably should wear your seatbelt, and look both ways before crossing the street, too.

Please Reblog
India.
Seeing a lot of misinformation and confusion, let me attempt to give you some basic information about the situation:
An amendment was made to India's citizenship act that currently offers among other paths to citizenship, naturalisation. This means, a person living in India for 12 years is eligible to be citizen by naturalisation.
The new amendment is aimed at offering a quicker path to naturalisation for those communities facing religious persecution in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, on account of being numerical minorities.
This includes Hindus, Christians, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains. For such people facing religious persecution in these 3 countries, naturalisation requirements shall be reduced to 6 years rather than 12, provided they entered India before the end of 2014 as migrants/refugees.
Now people are protesting this for multiple reasons:
They feel that other religious communities and atheists also face persecution, which has been neglected here.
They feel that the fact that only 3 of India's 8 immediate neighbours have been selected arbitrarily is unconstitutional. Citizenship shouldn't be religion-based, given India is secular. Many suspect that the 3 Muslim majority countries have been selected due to India's current government's "perceived" islamophobia. Instead of this, persecuted minorities from Myanmar like rohingyas etc. must also be given easier access through a uniform refugee policy, that India currently lacks.
Further, India's north eastern region is made up of thousands of distinct tribes, who feel that given their proximity to Bangladesh they've already had enough influx of Bangladeshis who cross over illegally, which is threatening their already vulnerable identity. Plus, increasing pressure on resources in the oft-neglected region.
From 15th December onwards, universities' students from all over the country have also joined protests against this amendment. Riot like situation has emerged in many places with blame games and confusion on whether students started the violence, or police.
Moreover, the government has announced plans to conduct a Nationwide exercise to check everyone's citizenship- a move that will cause great upheaval, due to India's huge population, lack of proper documentation for most people, etc.
Hence, people are protesting. Indians are protesting against the arrogance of its government for shutting down internet services and dissent in areas of protest, state violence, and much more. It's not just about ideology.
It's about the right to remain a democracy.
