Sarah Michelle Gellar has recently reflected on female-led superhero movies, explaining how audiences do not accept women in the leading cast of Marvel movies. In a new interview with The Guardian , Sarah, who played a vampire slayer in Buffy series, said, “Genre is where women can really succeed and hold an audience.” The Cruel Intentions star continued, “Every time a Marvel movie tries to do a female cast, it just gets torn apart. “Unfortunately, audiences weren’t as accepting. There’s still this mentality of ‘the male superhero’, this very backwards way of thinking,” claimed 45-year-old. In previous interview with Independent , Sarah revealed that she was being branded as “difficult” woman during early days of her career. “A lot of times on sets, you’re told not to make waves’, ‘You’re replaceable.’ And in Hollywood, and when you’re specifically a young female and you speak up about things, you’re labelled as ‘difficult’. However, she commented, “But now I’ll … [Read more...] about Sarah Michelle Gellar explains how audiences are unwilling to accept female-led Marvel movies

8-Month-Old Allegedly Strangled By Mother Dies In Hospital | The Daily Wire
An 8-month-old boy who was allegedly strangled by his mother and airlifted to a Boston, Massachusetts, hospital has died, authorities say. On January 24, a man called 911 saying a woman had attempted suicide by jumping out of a window. The woman was identified as Lindsay Clancy, 32, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, and the caller was identified as her husband, Patrick. When police arrived at the home, they found three children “unconscious with obvious signs of trauma,” Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said during a press conference the following day, according to CBS 12 . “It’s a horrific situation,” Cruz said at the time. He said a preliminary investigation from the medical examiner found that the children had been strangled by their mother. Two of the kids, a 5-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy, were taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center but were pronounced dead. An 8-month-old baby was flown to Boston Children’s Hospital, where he died on January 27. … [Read more...] about 8-Month-Old Allegedly Strangled By Mother Dies In Hospital | The Daily Wire
Chicago Teens Advocate For Gun Violence Awareness
Hadiya Pendleton would have turned 18 years old on June 2. Instead of celebrating, though, her friends on Tuesday are wearing orange to remember her and the dozens of Americans who die from gun violence each day. Pendleton, 15, an honor student in Chicago and a member of her high school's drill team, was killed in what police said was a mistaken identity, a week after she performed at President Barack Obama's second inauguration in January 2013. Her friends declared June 2 the first-ever National Gun Violence Awareness Day to honor her and the other victims and survivors of gun violence. Members of Congress, local leaders, activists and celebrities across the country wore orange on Tuesday. The color represents the uniform of hunters that keeps them and others safe from harm. Comedian Sarah Silverman, singer Michael Stipe, the label Motown Records and the New York Mets are among those who have joined the campaign. MTV changed its typical black and white icon to orange in … [Read more...] about Chicago Teens Advocate For Gun Violence Awareness
Tlaib Says She’s Sorry Profanity Caused ‘Distraction’
Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan said Tuesday she was sorry that her use of profane language against President Donald Trump has caused a "distraction," but she asserted that's "the only thing" she will apologize for. The Democrat told supporters at a Move On event last Thursday about how her son said her victory showed bullies don't win. "And I said, 'Baby, they don't, because we're gonna go in there and impeach the motherf***er ,'" Tlaib said. Tlaib's comment immediately went viral, prompting resounding criticism from Trump, Republicans and even some Democrats, but the progressive politician staunchly defended the sentiment behind her words at a Michigan Veterans Foundation event Tuesday, apologizing only the way in which her comments distracted from important issues. "I am a person that is authentically me," Tlaib said. "I'm very passionate about fighting for all of us, and the use of that language was a teachable moment for me." She added: "I understand that I am a … [Read more...] about Tlaib Says She’s Sorry Profanity Caused ‘Distraction’

Washington — Lawmakers return to the Capitol this week confronted with a new round of appeals for police reform following the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police. Five officers have been fired and charged with murder after video showed them repeatedly punching and kicking the 29-year-old while he was restrained. "We are calling on our colleagues in the House and Senate to jumpstart negotiations now and work with us to address the public health epidemic of police violence that disproportionately affects many of our communities," Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Chair Steven Horsford said in a statement Sunday. The Nevada Democrat also called for a meeting between the CBC and President Biden this week "to push for negotiations on much needed national reforms to our justice system — specifically, the actions and conduct of our law enforcement."
