Lina Rozbih @LinaRozbih · 6h Translated from Persian These girls, in the cemetery... bury a list of their dead dreams that fell victim to the betrayals and political deals of that land and came to an end..

Or perhaps they inscribe the horrific tale of the ruinous fate of the women and girls of Afghanistan in the darkest country in the world for women, so that it may not be forgotten!

These girls, in the cemetery.. come to believe in becoming the dead!..

In the fact that their gender consists of walking corpses who are now, by the millions, taken captive and imprisoned by men under the decree of a handful of terrorists, and the men of this society, free and autonomous, will either force them into marriage, or from a starving family, buy them for less than the price of a sheep, or fall prey to other male desires of this society held hostage by the terror of terrorists... they will be killed, they will be raped, or if they are fortunate, their ears and noses will be cut off and they will rot away wretchedly in a corner of the house!

These girls are familiar with the cemetery... they speak with the dead... because for five years now, they themselves have been buried alive in a cemetery called Afghanistan, with no rights except the right to breathe!

And the fortunate ones in this calculation are the dead of this cemetery who no longer breathe and feel no pain!

Zina Thomas will serve 90 months in prison and Jontae Jackson will serve 66 months

DETROIT – An ex-Wayne County Treasurer’s Office employee and a former Detroit nonprofit director were both sentenced Wednesday to serve time in federal prison following their convictions in a 2024 bribery scheme to defraud low-income homeowners facing tax foreclosure.

Zina Thomas, 60, of Detroit, served as the director of homeownership programs for the United Community Housing Coalition (UCHC) when she conspired with county employee Jontae Jackson, 45, of Southfield, to steal approximately 100 properties from homeowners across Wayne County, mostly in Detroit.

Federal officials say Thomas identified properties facing potential tax foreclosure and diverted them into her control by filing multiple fraudulent quitclaim deeds. Thomas, who was also working as a real estate agent at the time, would then transfer ownership of the target properties to non-existent “interim owners” before selling them to third parties.

“Thomas bribed Jackson to upload false documentation — including fake driver’s licenses, utility bills, and Principal Residence Exemption forms — into Wayne County’s Property Tax Administration system, which Jackson then used to halt the pending foreclosures," A statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office read on Wednesday. “This process prevented dozens of properties from being auctioned off, depriving Wayne County of an estimated $1.5M in tax revenue.

Police say ShotSpotter technology allows them to do their jobs better, collect more evidence, and respond to scenes faster. It was ShotSpotter technology, not a 911 call, that led police to the scene where a man was fatally shot, and his 7-year-old cousin was clinging to life. However, Detroit resident Aaron Pruitt says ShotSpotter technology allegedly caused Detroit police to question him.

Lions DB Terrion Arnold faced a Florida judge Monday and was given a $1 million bond on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping. The judge said that there was not enough evidence to hold him in jail due to him not physically being in the location of the alleged crimes. The decision to not give Arnold an ankle monitor tether is due to the court not wanting to interfere with his ability to earn a living - while acknowledging the uniqueness of his job.

Michigan lawmakers say they have figured out a framework for the state budget with less than 72 hours until the July 1 deadline.

ROTHBURY, Mich. (WOOD) — A full-term baby was discovered Sunday morning inside a porta-potty at the Electric Forest festival in Rothbury, sources confirmed to News 8.

This is the final day of the sold-out music festival, which opened Thursday at the Double JJ Resort about 64 miles northwest of Grand Rapids.

The baby’s body was discovered in a portable toilet in the camping area of the festival by an employee of the restroom vending company, Michigan State Police said in a release.

Sources told News 8 that it appeared the baby had been born inside the porta-potty; the placenta and umbilical cord were present. It’s not clear yet if the baby was stillborn or drowned after birth.

Harmon told News 10 that his children — 13-year-old Harper, 13, 11-year-old Hudson and 10-year-old twins Gavin and Gracelynn — were going to stay with him at his home in Utah from July 1 to September 1 and "just come and be with Dad and connect with family they have not seen. Connect with additional family members they have never met.”

Harmon said he found out about his children’s death on June 23.

“There is no prepping for that whatsoever,” said Harmon, News 10 reported. “Let alone that you’re supposed to be there the following week to pick up your kids for your first parenting time in six and a half years.”
