A group of beachgoers in Mexico proved that when people join together and stand up for justice, you can triumph in even the direst of circumstances.
Municipal police in Tulum, Quintana Roo got received a tip that there were men allegedly committing "immoral acts" on the beach. So the officers, armed with AR-15 rifles, picked up two Canadian men.
"The officers approached a group of young foreigners," local politician Maritza Escalante Morales recounted in her video. "After about 20 minutes passed, a patrol car arrived and proceeded to arrest them with handcuffs."
<p>When Escalante asked the officers why the two men were being arrested, she learned it was "because they were gay and they kissed." However, two men are allowed to legally kiss in Mexico. The officers claimed they were being arrested because they did so in front of children.</p><p>"The policemen were violent, and gave arguments such as 'there are families and children and they cannot be watching this,'" <a href="https://www.out.com/news/2021/2/25/crowd-forces-mexican-police-release-two-men-arrested-kissing" target="_blank">Morales later said.</a></p><p>When the police loaded the two men into the back of their truck, a crowd began to mobilize around the vehicle. They booed and jeered the police. The crowd rallied around the men chanting "No!" and "I'm gay, too!"</p><p>Morales captured the incident on video.</p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="476" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnotitulum%2Fvideos%2F862463917645447%2F&show_text=0&width=269" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" width="269"></iframe></div><p>"We are gay, that is why they are taking us," one of the arrested tourists says in the video.<br></p><p>"They were not committing any crime, we were by their side, at no time did they do anything wrong, simply by kissing like any other couple," Morales later wrote. "I am FURIOUS because it is not possible that in the 21st century this type of oppression against the LGBT+ community continues."</p><p>However, the protests worked. Even though the police were heavily armed they capitulated to the angry crowd and let the two men go. It was a beautiful display of the power a crowd can have when they stand up for what's right. Especially when the two men weren't doing anything wrong or illegal.</p><p>Homosexuality is legal in Mexico and same-sex marriage has been allowed for over a decade. But that doesn't prevent some authorities from overstepping their boundaries and threatening LGBT people.</p><p><a href="https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/north-america/mexico/lgbt-mexico-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank">According to World Nomads</a> tourism site, in Mexico "The culture is stronger than the printed law, and each Mexican state can override national decriminalization laws by finding 'adjacent' excuses ā like public decency laws ā for making an arrest in rare situations."</p><p>The site urges LGBT people to be cautious about expressing public affection in the country.</p><p>"Basic displays of same-sex affection, like kissing and handholding in public (except for in or around a gay bar in, say, Mexico City), are invitations for scrutiny and potential backlash, which wouldn't be much different from a small, conservative, rural town anywhere in the world," the site continues.</p><p>The incident has resulted in several human rights groups filing complaints with Mexico's government. It has also inspired a "kiss-in" at the beach to protest the actions of the police. </p>

Capital One Impact Initiative
Veterans across the country are struggling to find stable housing. This affordable housing community is ensuring Los Angeles vets have a place to call home.

After years of service as a military nurse in the naval Marine Corps, Los Angeles, California-resident Rhonda Jackson became one of the 37,000 retired veterans in the U.S. who are currently experiencing homelessness ā roughly eight percent of the entire homeless population.
"I was living in a one-bedroom apartment with no heat for two years," Jackson said. "The Department of Veterans Affairs was doing everything they could to help but I was not in a good situation."
One day in 2019, Jackson felt a sudden sense of hope for a better living arrangement when she caught wind of the ongoing construction of Veteran's Village in Carson, California ā a 51-unit affordable housing development with one, two and three-bedroom apartments and supportive services to residents through a partnership with U.S.VETS.
Her feelings of hope quickly blossomed into a vision for her future when she learned that Veteran's Village was taking applications for residents to move in later that year after construction was complete.
"I was entered into a lottery and I just said to myself, 'Okay, this is going to work out,'" Jackson said. "The next thing I knew, I had won the lottery ā in more ways than one."
<p>Communities like Veteran's Village are contributing to the national decline in homeless veterans. <u><a href="https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/2019-AHAR-Part-1.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to The Department of Housing and Urban Development</a></u>, 793 fewer veterans experienced homelessness between 2018 and 2019.</p><p>That drop continued a steady decline over the past decade, as the number of veterans experiencing homelessness <u><a href="https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/2019-AHAR-Part-1.pdf" target="_blank">has fallen nearly 50 percent</a></u> since 2009.<br></p><p><a target="_blank"></a>National Equity Fund (NEF), a nonprofit LIHTC syndicator and partner to Capital One, brought Veteran's Village to the bank, which responded by providing a $14.3 million construction loan and $15.6 million long-term equity investment through the purchase of low-income housing tax credits.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

"We are honored to be able to support communities like Veteran's Village as stable affordable housing is fundamental to physical and financial health and access to opportunity."<br></p><p>Veteran's Village strives to be more than just an affordable housing development. Its staff functions as a support system to help residents navigate their individual situations to ensure that each resident is equipped with the tools they need to thrive.</p><p>"Through the support of Capital One, we were able to provide much-needed housing for U.S. Veterans," said Amy Hyde of Thomas Safran & Associates, an affordable housing development and management organization whose properties include Veteran's Village.

30 things people don't realize you're doing because of your depression.
Do any of these speak to you?
07.21.17
This story was originally published on The Mighty.
Most people imagine depression equals āreally sad,ā and unless youāve experienced depression yourself, you might not know it goes so much deeper than that. Depression expresses itself in many different ways, some more obvious than others. While some people have a hard time getting out of bed, others might get to work just fine ā itās different for everyone.
<h2>To find out how depression shows itself in ways other people canāt see, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MentalHealthOnTheMighty/posts/1862173497384693" target="_blank">we asked The Mighty mental health community</a> to share one thing people donāt realize theyāre doing because they have depression.</h2><p><strong><strong>Hereās what they had to say:</strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong>1.</strong></strong> āIn social situations, some people donāt realize I withdraw or donāt speak much because of depression. Instead, they think Iām being rude or purposefully antisocial.ā ā Laura B.</p><p><strong><strong>2.</strong></strong> āI struggle to get out of bed, sometimes for hours. Then just the thought of taking a shower is exhausting. If I manage to do that, I am ready for a nap. People donāt understand, but <a href="https://themighty.com/anxiety/" target="_blank">anxiety</a> and depression is exhausting, much like an actual physical fight with a professional boxer.ā ā Juli J.</p><p><strong><strong>3.</strong></strong> āAgreeing to social plans but canceling last minute. Using an excuse but really you just chickened out. It makes you think your friends donāt actually want to see you, they just feel bad. Obligation.ā ā Brynne L.</p><p><strong><strong>4.</strong></strong> āHiding in my phone. Yes, I am addicted to it, but not like other people. I donāt socialize, I play games or browse online stores to distract myself from my negative thoughts. Itās my safe bubble.ā ā Eveline L.</p><p><strong><strong>5.</strong></strong> āGoing to bed at 9 p.m. and sleeping throughout the night until 10 or 11 a.m.ā ā Karissa D.</p><p><strong><strong>6.</strong></strong> āIsolating myself, not living up to my potential at work due to lack of interest in anything, making self-deprecating jokes. Iāve said many times before, āI laugh, so that I donāt cry.ā Unfortunately, itās all too true.ā ā Kelly K.</p><p><strong><strong>7.</strong></strong> āWhen I reach out when Iām depressed itās ācause I am wanting to have someone to tell me Iām not alone. Not because I want attention.ā ā Tina B.</p><p><strong><strong>8.</strong></strong> āI donāt like talking on the phone. I prefer to text. Less pressure there. Also being anti-social. Not because I donāt like being around people, but because Iām pretty sure everyone canāt stand me.ā ā Meghan B.</p><p><strong><strong>9.</strong></strong> āI overcompensate in my work environmentā¦ and I work front line at a Fitness Centre, so I feel the need to portray an āextra happy, bubbly personality.ā As soon as I walk out the doors at the end of the day, I feel myself āfall.ā Itās exhaustingā¦ I am a professional at hiding it.ā ā Lynda H.</p><p><strong><strong>10.</strong></strong> āThe excessive drinking. Most people assume Iām trying to be the ālife of the partyā or just like drinking in general. I often get praised for it. But my issues are much deeper than that.ā ā Teresa A.</p><p><strong><strong>11.</strong></strong> āHiding out in my room for hours at a time watching Netflix or Hulu to distract my mind or taking frequent trips to the bathroom or into another room at social gatherings because social situations sometimes get to me.ā ā Kelci F.</p><p><strong><strong>12.</strong></strong> āSaying Iām tired or donāt feel goodā¦ they donāt realize how much depression can affect you physically as well as emotionally.ā ā Lauren G.</p><p><strong><strong>13.</strong></strong> āAnswering slowly. It makes my brain run slower, and I canāt think of the answers to the questions as quickly. Especially when someone is asking what I want to do ā I donāt really want anything. I isolate myself so I donāt have to be forced into a situation where I have to respond because itās exhausting.ā ā Erin W.</p><p><strong><strong>14.</strong></strong> āSometimes Iāll forget to eat all day. I can feel my stomach growling but donāt have the willpower to get up and make something to eat.ā ā Kenzi I.</p><p><strong><strong>15.</strong></strong> āI donāt talk much in large groups of people, especially when I first meet them. I withdraw because of my anxiety and depression. People think Iām āstuck up.ā Iām actually scared out of my mind worrying they donāt like me, or that they think Iām ācrazyā by just looking at meā¦ā ā Hanni W.</p><p><strong><strong>16.</strong></strong> āNot keeping in touch with anyone, bad personal hygiene and extremely bad reactions to seemingly trivial things.ā ā Jenny B.</p><p><strong><strong>17.</strong></strong> āBeing angry, mean or rude to people I love without realizing it in the moment. I realize my actions and words later and feel awful I had taken out my anger on people who donāt deserve it.ā ā Christie C.</p><p><strong><strong>18.</strong></strong> āPurposely working on the holidays so I can avoid spending time with family. Itās overwhelming to be around them and to talk about the future and life so I avoid it.ā ā Aislinn G.</p><p><strong><strong>19.</strong></strong> āMy house is a huge mess.ā ā Cynthia H.</p><p><strong><strong>20.</strong></strong> āI volunteer for everything, from going to PTO meetings to babysitting to cleaning someone elseās house for them. I surround myself with situations and obligations that force me to get out of bed and get out of the house because if Iām not needed, I wonāt be wanted.ā ā Carleigh W.</p><p><strong><strong>21.</strong></strong> āOverthinking everything and over-planning. The need to make everything perfect and everyone happy, even if itās taking all my energy. As if validation from someone else will make it all better. Sometimes I start out on high power, then just crash and donāt even enjoy what Iāve spent weeks/months planning. And no one will see me for months after, as I retreat into my safe bubble.ā ā Vicki G.</p><p><strong><strong>22.</strong></strong> āI smile all the time even though I donāt really want to, but I do it because I donāt feel like Iām allowed to be sad when Iām with other people. I also do whatever it takes to make someone else happy because since I donāt feel happy most of the time, it just makes me feel a little better seeing someone else happy. I also isolate myself even though sometimes I really just want someone around.ā ā Wendy E.</p><p><strong><strong>23.</strong></strong> āPeople donāt realize I say sorry before I even think about expressing any opinions because thatās how worthless I feel. Iām apologizing for feeling anything about anything because thatās how little I feel I matter. They donāt just know I feel like apologizing for even breathing in their general direction. I even say Iām sorry before asking to use the bathroom no matter how long Iāve held it. I feel like a burden for biological needs I have no control over.ā ā Amy Y.</p><p><strong><strong>24.</strong></strong> āNeglecting to do basic things like laundry, not wanting to cook a meal or eat. They think Iām being lazy.ā ā Rebecca R.</p><p><strong><strong>25.</strong></strong> āSometimes Iāll go days without speaking to anybody. People tend to believe Iām ignoring them on purpose when really I am just lost within myself. I donāt mean to seem like Iām pushing people away. Some days itās hard when my thoughts consume me and when I canāt find the motivation to do simple things that others do on a daily basis.ā ā Alyssa A.</p><p><strong><strong>26.</strong></strong> āPeople donāt realize I canāt say no without feeling guilty. I have to have a good enough reason for everything I do. I guess itās customary to try and convince someone to change their answer, but people have no idea how much it takes for me to say no in the first place. I feel worthless so much that I feel guilty for even thinking of putting my needs or wants first. Then I just feel like a doormat when I cave into the pressure. Itās a never-ending cycle.ā ā Amy Y.</p><p><strong><strong>27.</strong></strong> āI push away/cut off everyone who I care about because I canāt bear to be hurt by them! Everyone just thinks Iām mean and anti-social.ā ā Tina R.</p><p><strong><strong>28.</strong></strong> āGoing for late night walks by myself. My depression keeps me awake at night and my thoughts can get so overwhelming I feel physically crowded inside. Late night walks help me quiet the screaming in my head.ā ā Lynnie L.</p><p><strong><strong>29.</strong></strong> āI have often been accused of having āno sense of humor.ā So wrong. Before depression took over my life, I smiled and laughed as much as the next person. Now, having lived with depression for over 15 years, the humor I find in a joke or situation is rarely visible on my face or heard in my laugh. I feel humor, but itās just too much effort to express it. I donāt have the energy.ā ā Martha W.</p><p><strong><strong>30.</strong></strong> āKeeping the house dark is a comfort thing for me. People always point it out, like, āNo wonder youāre so depressed. You need to let some light in.ā Darkness in my living space makes me feel comfortable, almost like Iām not alone. Good days, Iām all about the sunshine!ā ā Michelle T.</p>

Pro-Trump conference unveiled a tacky 'golden calf' statue of him and the memes are priceless
02.26.21
The 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) kicked off in Orlando, Florida on Friday. It's three days of panels and speakers with former President Donald Trump delivering the keynote speech on Sunday night.
It's believed that during the speech Trump will declare himself the Republican frontrunner for the 2024 nomination.
So far, the event has made headlines for a speech by Senator Ted Cruz of Texas who tried his hand at stand-up comedy. "I've got to say, Orlando is awesome," Cruz told the cheering crowd. "It's not as nice as Cancun. But it's nice."
<p><br></p><div id="2e74f" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="df4f58faacbecb285f60ba6947bd6b94"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1365340481320812551" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">Ted Cruz has jokes about abandoning his Texas constituents - leaving some to die in the freezing cold when he jetteā¦ https://t.co/g2QvPepb75</div> ā Rex Chapmanšš¼ (@Rex Chapmanšš¼)<a href="https://twitter.com/RexChapman/statuses/1365340481320812551">1614357512.0</a></blockquote></div><p>It was also marked by anti-mask protests. Early on Friday organizers were booed and met with chants of "Freedom!" when they asked that attendees abide by the Hyatt's policies and wear masks.<br></p><p>"I know this might sound like a little bit of a downer, but we also believe in property rights, and this is a private hotel," said Dan Schneider, executive director of the American Conservative Union, <a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-ne-cpac-orlando-day-1-desantis-scott-20210226-che27r7wy5f5hj6px6ucj5o3re-story.html" target="_blank">which runs CPAC.</a> "And we believe in the rule of law, so we need to comply with the laws of this county that we're in. But a private hotel, just like your house, gets to set its own rules."</p><p>But the image that best sums up the conference, and the state of the Republican party in 2021, was the unveiling of a massive golden Donald Trump statue featured in one of the ballrooms. The golden statue depicts Trump in a suit with his trademark red tie, American flag swimsuit, and sandals. Classy.</p><div id="3445f" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="b494c8a6e376e88cd702c15ccf9e8735"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1365145292706832387" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">A golden statue of Trump is as good a summary of CPAC as one could possibly make. https://t.co/tW0zFobjyh</div> ā Josh Jordan (@Josh Jordan)<a href="https://twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/statuses/1365145292706832387">1614310975.0</a></blockquote></div><p>Many have said the Republican Party has essentially <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/160212/republican-party-dead-its-trump-cult-now" target="_blank">become a cult of personality </a>revolving around Trump over the past four years.

Clearly, these people favor party over country.</p><p>The blind loyalty is also questionable being that even though he won the presidency in 2016, over the next four years, the GOP would lose the House, Senate, and the presidency. </p><p>After the insurgency at the Capitol building<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/536113-tens-of-thousands-of-voters-drop-republican-affiliation-after-capitol" target="_blank"> over 30,000 U.S. voters</a> who were registered as Republicans changed their party affiliation.</p><p>The image of the golden Trump also drew many comparisons to the biblical story of the Golden Calf. </p><p>As the parable goes, the Israelites lost faith in Moses when he left them for 40 days and 40 nights. So, they pooled their gold to create a golden calf to worship. When Moses returned to the group, he burnt the golden calf in a fire, ground it to powder, scattered it on water, and forced the Israelites to drink it.</p><p>Could it be that the Republicans lost their faith in their beliefs and, instead, were led astray by the Golden Calf that is Trump?</p><div id="299ef" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="b82e39f263170adb5fbd6887edaeb649"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1365168177907433472" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">This gold Trump is an actual statue at CPAC.
