The Nobel Peace Prize laureate was arrested in the <a href=\"https://time.com/5934896/myanmar-aung-san-suu-kyi-detained-coup/\">Feb. 1, 2021 coup</a>.

The sanctions also targeted a Myanmar government agency responsible for procuring arms for the military, which is known locally as the Tatmadaw. </p><p>But activists and Myanmar watchers say that the targeted sanctions will do little to deter a brutal regime that is increasingly isolated from the West and determined to put down resistance to its rule with violent repression. More than 1,500 people <a href=\"https://time.com/5944853/myanmar-military-crackdown-deaths/\">have been killed in encounters with the junta</a> across the country, according to human rights group Assistance Association of Political Prisoners.</p><p>&ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s fair to say that the West has had little leverage in Myanmar both politically and on the ground since the coup,&rdquo; says John Nielsen, Senior Analyst at Danish Institute for International Studies and former Danish Ambassador to Myanmar. </p><p>Pro-democracy protesters have long called on the international community to find ways to cut off the junta&rsquo;s revenue streams. And since last year&rsquo;s coup, several Western firms&mdash;including energy giants <a href=\"https://totalenergies.com/media/news/press-releases/totalenergies-withdraws-myanmar\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TotalEnergies</a> of France and <a href=\"https://www.chevron.com/stories/chevrons-view-on-myanmar\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chevron</a> of the U.S.&mdash;have vowed to pull business out of Myanmar due to human rights abuses in the country.</p><p><b>Read more: </b><a href=\"https://time.com/6074482/myanmar-artist-resistance/\"><i>Myanmar&rsquo;s Artists Are Continuing to Resist from Abroad</i></a></p><p>Junta leader Min Aung Hlaing and other members of the Tatmadaw were already under sanction by the U.S. and other nations. <a href=\"https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/01/25/un-security-council-should-act-myanmar-atrocities\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Human Rights Watch</a> has urged the United Nations Security Council to impose a legally-binding global arms embargo on Myanmar. </p><p>But in addition to punitive measures, Burmese exiles say the international community must work to protect people suffering under the junta&#8217;s rule. London-based Burmese activist and scholar Maung Zarni says neighboring states should open their borders to Burmese refugees who flee from the Tatmadaw.</p><p>They are also wary of dialogue with the military leaders, which neighboring countries including some members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), favor.

China also has ongoing dealings with Myanmar, but has taken a more ambivalent stance: It urged <a href=\"http://english.www.gov.cn/statecouncil/wangyi/202108/18/content_WS611d062fc6d0df57f98dea3b.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&rdquo;to restart the democratic process</a>&rdquo; in the Southeast Asian country while engaging with both the Tatmadaw and ethnic armed forces. &ldquo;China&rsquo;s primary objectives in Myanmar is to ensure stability at the borders and get access to the Indian Ocean through an economic corridor from Kunming to Rakhine. They will work with any party in the conflict to accomplish these objectives&mdash;and that is in essence what they are doing,&rdquo; Nielsen says.</p><p>Jason Tower, Director for Myanmar at the United States Institute of Peace, says there must be a regional approach to the crisis, as companies closely aligned with the junta operate in neighboring states. If the U.S. and allies can convince Myanmar&#8217;s neighbors, including Thailand and India, to crack down on these firms, it could have a dramatic effect on the cash flowing to military leaders.</p><p>But the window for such action may be closing. Cambodia has taken over chairmanship of ASEAN in 2022. And Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen&mdash;no friend of democracy&mdash;<a href=\"https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/cambodia-pm-says-myanmar-junta-welcome-asean-if-progress-made-2022-01-25/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has given a conditional invitation the Myanmar coup leader</a>.

Another 22,000 children experienced the death of a secondary caregiver &mdash; for example, a grandparent who provided housing but not a child&#8217;s other basic needs.</p><p>In many instances, surviving parents or other relatives remained to provide for these children. But the researchers used the term &ldquo;orphanhood&rdquo; in their study as they attempted to estimate how many children&#8217;s lives were upended.</p><p>Federal statistics are not yet available on how many U.S. children went into foster care last year. Researchers estimate COVID-19 drove a 15% increase in orphaned children.</p><p>The new study&#8217;s numbers are based on statistical modeling that used fertility rates, death statistics and household composition data to make estimates.</p><p>An earlier study by different researchers estimated that roughly 40,000 U.S. children lost a parent to COVID-19 as of February 2021.</p><p>The two studies&#8217; findings are not inconsistent, said Ashton Verdery, an author of the earlier study. Verdery and his colleagues focused on a shorter time period than the new study. Verdery&#8217;s group also focused only on deaths of parents, while the new paper also captured what happened to caregiving grandparents.</p><p>&ldquo;It is very important to understand grandparental losses,&#8221; said Verdery, a researcher at Penn State, in an email. &#8220;Many children live with grandparents,&rdquo; a living arrangement more common among certain racial groups.</p><p>About 32% of all kids who lost a primary caregiver were Hispanic and 26% were Black. Hispanic and Black Americans make up much smaller percentages of the population than that. White children accounted for 35% of the kids who lost primary caregivers, even though more than half of the population is white.</p><p>The differences were far more pronounced in some states. In California, 67% of the children who lost primary caregivers were Hispanic. In Mississippi, 57% of the children who lost primary caregivers were Black, the study found.</p><p>The new study based its calculation on excess deaths, or deaths above what would be considered typical. Most of those deaths were from the coronavirus, but the pandemic has also led to <a href=\"https://apnews.com/article/us-coronavirus-deaths-top-3-million-e2bc856b6ec45563b84ee2e87ae8d5e7\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more deaths</a> from other causes.</p><p>Kate Kelly, a Georgia teenager, lost her 54-year-old father in January. William &ldquo;Ed&rdquo; Kelly had difficulty breathing and an urgent care clinic suspected it was due to COVID-19, she said. But it turned out he had a blocked artery and died at work of a heart attack, leaving Kate, her two sisters and her mother.</p><p>In the first month after he died, friends and neighbors brought groceries, made donations and were very supportive. But after that, it seemed like everyone moved on &mdash; except Kate and her family.</p><p>&ldquo;It&#8217;s been just like no help at all,&rdquo; said the high school junior from Lilburn.</p><p>___</p><p><em>The Associated Press Health &amp; Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute&rsquo;s Department of Science Education.

Operational reasons can cause a pipeline to lose pressure suddenly, but &ldquo;we would have expected a pipeline to shut a line much faster than three hours&rdquo; and also report it more quickly, he said.</p><p>The Golden State&rsquo;s largest oil leak since a 1994 earthquake split open a pipeline spilled as much as 3,000 barrels along the California coast, according to Amplify&rsquo;s estimates. The oil has drifted southward, forced the closure of popular surfing beaches and sullied wetlands.</p><p>Divers have found a 13-inch split in the pipeline that was &ldquo;the likely source of the release of the oil,&rdquo; said U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson Rebecca Ore at a briefing on Tuesday. About 4,000 feet of the pipeline was &ldquo;laterally displaced by 105 feet.&rdquo;</p><p>Amplify CEO Martyn Willsher said at the briefing that footage showed the pipeline was &ldquo;pulled like a bowstring.&rdquo; That type of dislocation is &ldquo;not common,&rdquo; he added.</p><p>He said his company didn&rsquo;t confirm the leak until about 8 a.m. that morning, when an oil sheen on nearby waters was identified.</p><p>&ldquo;Regardless of the cause, we&rsquo;re going to do everything we can to make things right,&rdquo; Willsher said.</p><p>After shutting the pipeline, Beta didn&rsquo;t report the incident to the National Response Center for another three hours, according to the report. Initial estimates indicated that the pipeline released about 700 barrels, much less than the company&rsquo;s number.</p><p>Beta Offshore was ordered to review and assess the effectiveness of its emergency response plan, including &ldquo;the on-scene response and support, coordination, notification, and communication with emergency responders and public officials,&rdquo; according to the document. PHMSA didn&rsquo;t specify if the time taken to shut the line and notify the National Response Center was too slow or adequate.</p><p>An email and call to PHMSA regarding the appropriateness of the three hour wait wasn&rsquo;t immediately returned.</p><p>The root cause of the accident remains unconfirmed but &ldquo;preliminary reports indicate that the failure may have been caused by an anchor that hooked the pipeline, causing a partial tear,&rdquo; according to the order.

You also don&#8217;t need us to tell you that memes helped many cope with this long, long year.</p><p>Memes were a force in 2020. A force to vent, a force to call for change, a force to find normalcy, a force for finding connection, more than ever, memes became a shared language that bridged gaps during lockdown, but also widened partisan splits. The Cheezburger Cat and Success Kid memes of a younger internet has matured into waves of jokes that betray a more biting, more cynical online community. The memes of 2020 reflected an internet that has become desensitized to the burning house around it and the phrase <a href=\"https://time.com/5355468/this-is-fine-senator/\">&#8220;this is fine&#8221;</a> is more of a plea than a resignation. Memes, and the internet which spawns them, have been sharpened to a fine, sometimes desperate, point.</p><p>At the same time, memes continue to exist as they always have: inclusive inside jokes and an entertaining shorthand for life&#8217;s very specific experiences. They still spark recognition and even community, whether people connect over <a href=\"https://twitter.com/NikkoGuy/status/1313487501277962250\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">COVID-19&#8217;s impact on mental health</a> or about <a href=\"https://twitter.com/SmilingObject/status/1335824910317309953\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">waiting to order coffee</a>.</p><p>They also continue to be joyfully, immeasurably dumb. Look no further than when <a href=\"https://twitter.com/luulubuu/status/1340291338110201856\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a picture of a carp</a> blanketed most of Twitter earlier this month.</p><p>Through group chats, social media, oversharing coworkers and so many other ways, memes brought many together, pushed many apart and brought levity to extended crisis after extended crisis. So as 2020 comes to a close, we&#8217;ve rounded up some of the memes that captured the true essence of this unprecedented year&mdash;and left an indelible impression on the internet in their wake.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bernie Sanders is once again asking</h3><p>It seems safe to say that no one on the Bernie 2020 campaign team could&#8217;ve predicted that a <a href=\"https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1211784529129590784\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 2019 video</a> of the then-Democratic presidential candidate candidly requesting donations while strolling down a snowy street would result in the screengrab that launched a thousand memes. But that&#8217;s exactly what became of a still from a fundraising ad featuring Sanders bundled up against the cold, asking his supporters for financial aid.</p><p>So many people were left wanting this year.

Is wearing a face mask protecting people, those they love and their community, or is it a complete loss of personal liberty?</p><p>Trolly problem memes questioned the very nature of these choices, and are meant to highlight the absurdity of limited thinking.</p>\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"time-embed time-embed__twitter\"></div>\n\t\t\t</div></figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"time-embed time-embed__twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"zxx\"><a href=\"https://t.co/yZgiF7hnec\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com/yZgiF7hnec</a></p>&mdash; janus.bsky.social (@janusrose) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/janusrose/status/1242470254061772800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">March 24, 2020</a></blockquote></div>\n\t\t\t</div></figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"time-embed time-embed__twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">2020 as trolley problem <a href=\"https://t.co/KcDHxOeVzW\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com/KcDHxOeVzW</a></p>&mdash; Alex Hochuli &#127472;&#127468;&#127474;&#127469;&#127472;&#127470;&#127480;&#127464;&#127474;&#127487; (@Alex__1789) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/Alex__1789/status/1339176870647111681?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">December 16, 2020</a></blockquote></div>\n\t\t\t</div></figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"time-embed time-embed__twitter\"></div>\n\t\t\t</div></figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"time-embed time-embed__twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">gingerbread trolley problem <a href=\"https://t.co/EhIC9eR4zH\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com/EhIC9eR4zH</a></p>&mdash; clara rehmann (@ramencult) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/ramencult/status/1340816741669081090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">December 21, 2020</a></blockquote></div>\n\t\t\t</div></figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"time-embed time-embed__twitter\"></div>\n\t\t\t</div></figure>\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"></h3><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"></h3><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature is healing</h3><p>As <a href=\"https://time.com/5813778/coronavirus-climate-success/\">carbon emissions dropped</a> in the early part of the year as COVID-19 brought much of the world to a screeching halt, people began posting heartwarming photos and videos of <a href=\"https://twitter.com/iam__luca/status/1239863383354224641\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">animals supposedly returning to urban areas</a>.

As the world hurtles head-first into 2021, sea shanties are turning into a safe harbor for social media users looking to take their mind off the events of the day with some (very) old-timey entertainment.</p><p>It all started when Scottish musician Nathan Evans recorded a <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@nathanevanss/video/6910995345421962498?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fboingboing.net%2F&amp;referer_video_id=6910995345421962498&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;sender_web_id=6893506072067212806&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">video</a> performing a remarkably catchy rendition of &#8220;Wellerman,&#8221; a 19th century shanty of New Zealand origin. It blew up online, garnering over four million views on TikTok alone. From there, it wasn&#8217;t long before other users were piggybacking on the trend by duetting the whaling tune alongside Evans or debuting sea shanty performances of their own. Thus, #ShantyTok was born.</p>\n[time-brightcove not-tgx=&#8221;true&#8221;]\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"time-embed time-embed__twitter\"></div>\n\t\t\t</div></figure>\n\t\t\t<p>Despite the fact that the recent resurgence of sea shanties is owed entirely to the internet, their modern appeal certainly harkens back to their original purpose: synchronizing individual efforts to achieve a common goal.</p><p>In centuries past, the purpose of these call-and-response work songs was, of course, to maintain a ship crew&#8217;s focus on safely navigating often dangerous waters. Whether the task was rowing, hoisting sails or hauling nets, the hand-over-hand beat of sea shanties was intended to help sailors keep time with each other.</p><p>But amid a global pandemic that has kept many people at home and isolated for nearly a year, sea shanties can help foster a sense of community during a time when many are feeling lonely.

And it&#8217;s also a hedge against loneliness.&#8221;</p><p>It&#8217;s a trend that doesn&#8217;t surprise longtime pet owners like Caitlin McCarthy, who understands firsthand <a href=\"https://time.com/5817622/foster-pets-coronavirus/\">how comforting animals can be,</a> especially in times of stress or isolation. After her dog, a Westie named Oscar, passed away in September, McCarthy, a teacher for Worcester Public Schools in Massachusetts, says she wasn&#8217;t able to last long without a fur baby.</p><p>&#8220;This pandemic has been a very isolating situation,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I was grateful to have the time with Oscar because his health had started to fail when the schools shut down, so I was able to be with him. But after he passed away, I really noticed not having him in the house because he was a member of the family. I&#8217;m working from home. I&rsquo;m not going out. I really missed having a dog.&#8221;</p><p>So when she saw that <a href=\"https://www.nnewestierescue.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Northern New England Westie Rescue Inc.</a> had shared some photos on Facebook of a few dogs who were up for adoption, she jumped at the opportunity. &#8220;I immediately sent them a message,&#8221; she says. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t even something I thought about. I just did it. Because I knew. I saw the little faces and I knew one of them had to be mine.&#8221;</p><p>About a week later, McCarthy was meeting a volunteer driver in the parking lot of an Olive Garden to pick up Finbarr, a 10-year-old Westie who had been rescued from a Kansas &#8220;puppy mill.&#8221; As soon as she held him, she says she knew they had a connection.</p><p>&#8220;I had gravitated toward the photo of him that [the rescue] had posted on Facebook. There was just something very soulful about his eyes. So I told them I&#8217;d be happy with any dog, but if I could meet him, I think he&#8217;s the dog for me,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I went to pick him up and they opened up the back of the car and there he was. I was so excited and he was shy, as you can imagine. But as soon as I picked him up, he licked me right on the cheek. It&rsquo;s like he knew, like he was saying, &#8216;You&#8217;re gonna be my girl, aren&rsquo;t you?&#8217; And the answer was yes.&#8221;</p>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"Finbarr before and after\" class=\"wp-block-gutenberg-custom-blocks-inline-image\" src=\"https://api.time.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Finbarr.jpg?quality=85&#038;w=560\" />\n\t\t\t<p>Since arriving at his new home on Oct. 26, Finbarr (a name that McCarthy says she chose because her late mother loved it) has blossomed before McCarthy&#8217;s eyes. &#8220;He was used as a puppy mill breeder for 10 years. His whole life was in a cage. He didn&#8217;t know what a toy was. He had never had a name. He had never been outside to play. So I&#8217;m teaching him all those things,&#8221; she says. &#8220;And it&#8217;s very healing for me too. He&#8217;s like furry evidence of hope during a very troubling time. When you see a dog that&#8217;s survived the most horrific circumstances and he keeps getting better and better every day, how can you not feel hopeful about life in the future?&#8221;</p><p>The emotional support that pets can offer their owners is more crucial than ever in this moment, says Rachael Silverman, a psychologist specializing in couple and family psychology who often prescribes emotional support animals for patients. &#8220;With so much uncertainty and instability, animals provide people, especially children, with unconditional love, support, and comfort as well as serve as a distraction,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I had one 8-year-old patient who told me how she shared her adopted cat with her grandmother so her grandmother would have a piece of her with her and wouldn&rsquo;t feel lonely because she couldn&rsquo;t visit her.&#8221;</p><p>Staying at home amid the pandemic has also spurred many first-time pet owners to take the rescue plunge, and in doing so, discover how much emotional heavy lifting animals can be capable of doing. Since adopting their dog Nana, a 6-year-old boxer mix, from <a href=\"http://www.badassbrooklynanimalrescue.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue</a> in April, Crystal Kayiza and Peter Quandt have come to learn that she has an uncanny knack for lifting spirits.</p><p>&#8220;She&#8217;s such a joy to have and is really attuned to how people are feeling. I think everyone says this about their dog, but she&#8217;s definitely acutely aware of when someone&#8217;s having a bad day,&#8221; Kayiza says. &#8220;She&#8217;s really low energy and just wants to cuddle up with people and hang out. I think what&#8217;s been needed a lot during this time is being able to take a break from staring at screens and just sit on the floor with my dog for a bit.&#8221;</p>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"Crystal Kayiza's dog Nana\" class=\"wp-block-gutenberg-custom-blocks-inline-image\" src=\"https://api.time.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-17-at-3.24.43-PM.png?w=560\" />\n\t\t\t<p>Of course, it&#8217;s not just dogs providing these much-needed moments of levity. When Elise Healy and her partner realized that they wouldn&#8217;t be able to take a trip to France that they had planned for March to celebrate finishing grad school, they decided to adopt a new cat instead. They ended up rescuing Poe, a black domestic short hair from <a href=\"https://www.seattleareafelinerescue.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle Area Feline Rescue</a>, who, along with their other cat Keaton, has helped them cope with spending the year at home.</p><p>&#8220;[Poe&#8217;s] crazy. He likes to be chased around the house and to play and will randomly jump into our laps and hang out with us. He falls off of his cat tower, often. I don&#8217;t think I can adequately explain how wild and hilarious he is,&#8221; Healy says. &#8220;It breaks up the day to be sitting at your desk working and bored and then, you know, suddenly have a box moving around the house because he&rsquo;s gotten into it and can&#8217;t get out.&#8221;</p>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"Poe\" class=\"wp-block-gutenberg-custom-blocks-inline-image\" src=\"https://api.time.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-23-at-9.29.43-AM.png?w=560\" />\n\t\t\t<p>2021 looks to be a big year for shelter pets, too: In January, a shelter dog will take up residence in the White House for the first time ever when <a href=\"https://time.com/5907674/joe-biden-wins-2020-election/\">President-elect Joe Biden</a> moves in with his dog Major, a German shepherd who the Bidens adopted in 2018 from the <a href=\"https://delawarehumane.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Delaware Humane Association (DHA)</a>. It will be a landmark day for supporters of <a href=\"https://time.com/5490401/california-rescue-animals-law/\">&#8220;adopt, don&#8217;t shop,&#8221;</a> a growing movement that encourages people to adopt pets from shelters and rescue groups instead of purchasing them from commercial breeders.</p><p>&#8220;Our staff and our volunteers are super excited about Major going to the White House mainly because it highlights the important work we do of finding great homes for dogs and cats. It&#8217;s like, if one of our DHA adoptees is good enough for the White House, it&#8217;s good enough for your home, right?&#8221; says DHA Executive Director Patrick Carroll. &#8220;And it&#8217;s not just DHA. It&#8217;s highlighting adoption for all the shelters in Delaware and throughout the country. I think having a shelter dog go to the White House is really going to help with that awareness.&#8221;</p><p>That Major and the Bidens&#8217; other dog, Champ, are headed to the White House will also mark the return of the time-honored tradition of presidential pets. &#8220;Americans are majority pet owners,&#8221; says Andrew Hager, Historian-in-Residence of the <a href=\"http://www.presidentialpetmuseum.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Presidential Pet Museum</a>. &#8220;We kind of expect that from our presidents and we&#8217;ve gotten that for the most part because the presidents come from the American people and that&#8217;s part of our culture.&#8221;</p><p>The Bidens are <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/28/us/Biden-cat-dogs-German-shepherd.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly</a> planning on bringing a cat along, too. Perhaps they, like so many other Americans, have been bitten by the pet adoption bug. Milone, for one, says that even though it&#8217;s only been a few weeks since Fauci came home, his presence has already made one thing clear to her: despite the challenges she faced the first time around, she wants to rescue another dog&mdash;and soon. &#8220;The only thing that I&#8217;ve become absolutely certain about is that I will get another rescue,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I need a month to get good with [Fauci], so that he and I know each other really well. Then I&#8217;ll get a second one.&#8221;</p>"}], "post-id": "5912616"}, {"title": "Facebook Shuts Down Large Pro-Trump \u2018Stop the Steal\u2019 Group for Spreading Election Misinformation and Calling for Violence", "title_detail": {"type": "text/plain", "language": null, "base": "https://time.com/newsfeed/feed/", "value": "Facebook Shuts Down Large Pro-Trump \u2018Stop the Steal\u2019 Group for Spreading Election Misinformation and Calling for Violence"}, "links": [{"rel": "alternate", "type": "text/html", "href": "https://time.com/5907902/stop-the-steal-facebook-group-trump-election/"}], "link": "https://time.com/5907902/stop-the-steal-facebook-group-trump-election/", "authors": [{"name": "Megan McCluskey"}], "author": "Megan McCluskey", "author_detail": {"name": "Megan McCluskey"}, "published": "Thu, 05 Nov 2020 22:18:16 +0000", "published_parsed": [2020, 11, 5, 22, 18, 16, 3, 310, 0], "tags": [{"term": "Uncategorized", "scheme": null, "label": null}, {"term": "Brief", "scheme": null, "label": null}, {"term": "News Desk", "scheme": null, "label": null}, {"term": "Social Media", "scheme": null, "label": null}], "id": "https://time.com/?p=5907902", "guidislink": false, "summary": "Facebook said it removed the group on Thursday over \"worrying calls for violence\"", "summary_detail": {"type": "text/html", "language": null, "base": "https://time.com/newsfeed/feed/", "value": "Facebook said it removed the group on Thursday over \"worrying calls for violence\""}, "content": [{"type": "text/html", "language": null, "base": "https://time.com/newsfeed/feed/", "value": "<aside class=\"right-rail__container right-rail__container--ad\"><div class=\"right-rail__ad__wrapper right-rail__module\"><div class=\"right-rail__ad\" id=\"right-rail__ad-5907902\"></div></div>\n<div class=\"OUTBRAIN right-rail__outbrain right-rail__module video-2\"></div></aside>\n\n\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"Protesters calling to stop the vote count in Pennsylvania due to alleged fraud against President Donald Trump gather on the steps of the State Capital on Nov. 05 in Harrisburg, Penn.\" class=\"wp-block-gutenberg-custom-blocks-featured-media\" src=\"https://api.time.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/stop-the-steal-facebook.jpg\" />\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https://time.com/5906854/facebook-twitter-election-day/\">Facebook</a> has officially shut down &#8220;Stop the Steal,&#8221; a pro-Trump group which had amassed over 364,000 members in less than 48 hours, for promoting election misinformation regarding ongoing <a href=\"https://time.com/5906423/2020-election-results/\">vote counts.</a></p><p>With protests over the ongoing tally of votes sweeping through a number of U.S. cities, Facebook tells TIME that it removed the group on Thursday over &#8220;worrying calls for violence.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;In line with the exceptional measures that we are taking during this period of heightened tension, we have removed the group &#8216;Stop the Steal,&#8217; which was creating real-world events,&#8221; a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement. &#8220;The group was organized around the delegitimization of the election process, and we saw worrying calls for violence from some members of the group.&#8221;</p><p>The group, which <a href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/2020-elections/2020/11/stop-the-count-facebook-group/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">appeared to be linked</a> to the pro-Trump organization Women for America First as well as the Tea Party, was created in the wake of <a href=\"https://time.com/5906949/donald-trump-vote-count/\">President Donald Trump falsely claiming</a> that he had defeated Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden during a speech he delivered from the East Room of the White House after 2 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning.</p><p>As state and local election officials continued to count ballots across the country in the days after Election Day, Trump continued to post <a href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1324033983882166272\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">false</a> and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1324108200141082624\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">misleading tweets</a>, in which he made baseless allegations about voter fraud in key states.

Leading the charge is Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas who, at 46, is Estonia\u2019s first female prime minister. Kallas is known for being tough on Russia. Some critics joke she even eats them for breakfast. Russia\u2019s interior minister issued a warrant for her arrest earlier this year, for taking down Soviet monuments, but Kallas has not backed down.\u00a0</p><p>Asked to respond to critics that say she is too tough on Putin, Kallas said, \"Can you be tough enough on Putin, considering what he has done?\" Since <a href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/world/russian-invades-ukraine-largest-europe-attack-wwii\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Russia invaded Ukraine</a> in February 2022, Kallas has become one of Putin\u2019s loudest critics.</p><p>Kallas has been considered to become the next NATO Secretary General, but some of her opponents say she is too hawkish to lead NATO. To that, Kallas said she does not think Putin should have a say in how NATO runs its alliance.</p><p><a href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/world/ukraines-underground-railroad-rescues-abducted-ukrainian-children-from-russian-reeducation-camps\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>UKRAINE\u2019S 'UNDERGROUND RAILROAD' RESCUES ABDUCTED UKRAINIAN CHILDREN FROM RUSSIAN REEDUCATION CAMPS</strong></a></p><p>\"Russia is the biggest threat to NATO security \u2026 if we say that, because of our attitudes towards Russia, we are prevented from taking top positions, then we actually give too much power to Putin to decide how we run our alliances,\" Kallas\u00a0said.</p><p>Estonia is on the <a href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/nato\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">front line of NATO</a>, sharing a 210-mile border with Russia. Estonia spends 3.2% of its annual GDP on defense and 1.35% of that is for Ukraine to fight the Russians, the equivalent to $378 billion a year.</p><p>After the Soviet Union fell in 1991 Estonia became independent, eventually joining NATO in 2004. In 2007 Russia launched massive cyberattacks unlike anything the world had seen. The cyber campaign lasted 22 days targeting Estonia's parliament, banks and news organizations. Estonia is now the headquarters to NATO's cyber defense.\u00a0</p><p>Kallas said the attacks in 2007 are nothing like the attacks that Estonia now prevents every day. \"We have invested a lot in cybersecurity so these attacks don't really go through,\" Kallas said. But the cybersecurity of hospitals remains a huge concern. \"There could be civilian casualties. So we have to prepare,\" Kallas said.</p><p>These cyberattacks are part of what Kallas calls a shadow war. \"While there is a conventional war going on in Ukraine, there's also a shadow war going on within our societies \u2026 What they are really good at is pouring fuel into the fires that are already existing in our societies. So we have to be aware,\" Kallas said.</p><p>It is\u00a0not only direct conflict with Russia that Kallas is worried about.\u00a0She wants to prevent more of a shadow war. It is because of this that Kallas warned against negotiating with Russia to end the war<strong> </strong>in Ukraine as former President Trump has suggested he will do if elected.</p><p><a href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/world/russia-create-buffer-zone-ukraine-deter-ukrainian-attacks\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>RUSSIA TO CREATE 'BUFFER ZONE' IN UKRAINE TO DETER UKRAINIAN ATTACKS</strong></a></p><p>\"Of course, war is bad and peace is good. But there's also a difference between peace and peace,\" Kallas said.\u00a0</p><p>Under <a href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/world/stalin-bust-unveiled-in-russia-commemorating-battle-of-stalingrad\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Joseph Stalin</a>, in 1949 her mother was just six months old. She and her family were sent to a Soviet prison camp in Siberia. These labor camps across Russia were known as the Gulag. They were there for ten years before being released.\u00a0</p><p>\"Just because a war is over does not mean there is peace, Kallas said.</p><p>\"Peace on Russia\u2019s terms doesn't mean human suffering will stop. For my country, one fifth of our population was either deported or killed. Our language, our culture was suppressed. All these things happened while we had peace. So, peace under Russian terms does not mean that the human suffering will stop.\"</p><p>Kallas warned if Putin wins in Ukraine it will inspire other conflicts around the world. \"History rhymes and we have to learn from history,\" Kallas said, referencing the 1930s and the lead up to WWII.</p><p>\"If aggression pays off somewhere, it serves as an invitation to use it elsewhere. We know the tensions in the South China Sea, Iran, North Korea. So we're going to have more conflicts around the world because the aggressors or would-be aggressors in the world are carefully taking notes.\"</p><p>Asked about skeptics who say Ukraine can\u2019t win the war, Kallas said it is Russia\u2019s goal to make the West believe Ukraine can\u2019t win. \"No war has been won when you don't have a victory as a goal,\" Kallas said, referencing this is not the time to negotiate.</p><p>Kallas called on the U.S. to continue backing Ukraine and for <a href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-republicans-wrestle-ukraine-aid-future-senate-spending-deal\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Congress to pass more funding</a>. \"If U.S. is not backing Ukraine, then Russia will win. And then Russia's friends China, Iran, North Korea are the ones who are actually the leaders of the world.

Kaptur is viewed as among the most vulnerable Democrats in the nation.</p><p>Merrin drew statewide attention for leading an intraparty rebellion in the Ohio House last year after a bitter fight over the speakership.</p><p>Johnson recruited Merrin after audio surfaced of Riedel criticizing Trump, which raised concerns about his electability in a state that's twice supported Trump's presidential bids by strong margins. But that was months ago, back in December, begging the question of why Trump didn't weigh in earlier.</p><p>Notably, Riedel's campaign recently began airing a searing Merrin attack ad \u2014 blasting the legislator as \"a top henchman\" to then-Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder. Householder was convicted last year in the largest bribery scheme in state history and sentenced in June to 20 years in prison. The ad suggests \"speculation swirls Merrin could be charged next.\"</p><p>In backing Merrin, Trump parted ways with his best known Ohio ally: U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan. Jordan originally endorsed Riedel and stuck by him even after the remarks involving Trump came to light.</p><p>Jordan said, \"Craig Riedel is a rock-solid conservative who understands that parents, not the government, know what is best for their children. He will fight to cut spending, lower taxes, uphold the Second Amendment, and protect traditional family values.\"</p><p>Trump's 11th-hour decision to get involved is merely the latest twist in what has been a roller coast primary marked by swift entries and exits, candidate gaffes and bouncing endorsements. At one point, Johnson, Jordan and the state's Republican senator, JD Vance, were aligned with three different candidates.</p><p>Vance had backed J.R. Majewski, the party's 2022 nominee, before he suddenly withdrew from the race earlier this month after facing criticism for remarks he made during a podcast denigrating Special Olympics athletes.</p>"}], "media_content": [{"url": "https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2024/03/Derek-Merrin.gif", "type": "image/gif", "expression": "full"}], "tags": [{"term": "922c119d-202d-5c2d-afb9-bb582329bb56", "scheme": "foxnews.com/metadata/dc.identifier", "label": null}, {"term": "fnc", "scheme": "foxnews.com/metadata/prism.channel", "label": null}, {"term": "Fox News", "scheme": "foxnews.com/metadata/dc.source", "label": null}, {"term": "fox-news/us/us-regions/midwest/ohio", "scheme": "foxnews.com/taxonomy", "label": null}, {"term": "fox-news/topic/associated-press", "scheme": "foxnews.com/taxonomy", "label": null}, {"term": "fox-news/politics", "scheme": "foxnews.com/taxonomy", "label": null}, {"term": "fox-news/politics", "scheme": "foxnews.com/section-path", "label": null}, {"term": "article", "scheme": "foxnews.com/content-type", "label": null}], "published": "Mon, 18 Mar 2024 19:06:38 -0400", "published_parsed": [2024, 3, 18, 23, 6, 38, 0, 78, 0]}, {"links": [{"rel": "alternate", "type": "text/html", "href": "https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/richard-simmons-startles-fans-saying-dying-before-apologizing-confusion"}], "link": "https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/richard-simmons-startles-fans-saying-dying-before-apologizing-confusion", "id": "https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/richard-simmons-startles-fans-saying-dying-before-apologizing-confusion", "guidislink": false, "title": "Richard Simmons startles fans by saying 'I am \u2026.dying' before apologizing for 'confusion'", "title_detail": {"type": "text/plain", "language": null, "base": "https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/latest.xml?format=xml", "value": "Richard Simmons startles fans by saying 'I am \u2026.dying' before apologizing for 'confusion'"}, "summary": "Richard Simmons, 75, wrote on Facebook Monday, &quot;Please don\u2019t be sad.

networks, the team analyzed data to find that the strongest seismic activity occurred when Swift sang her hit 2014-released song \"Shake it Off.\"</p><p>The study said that the 70,000 fans inside SoFi Stadium created a seismic wave with a 0.851 magnitude \u2014 which was likely from the dancing and jumping motions in the crowd, SWNS also reported. \u00a0</p><p><a

noted SWNS.</p><p>Referred to as \"microearthquakes,\" the groundshaking movements were reported 50 times in Southern California last year, the study said.\u00a0</p><p>Other songs on the list of the

said the seismic study also found that Swift\u2019s songs don\u2019t vary in beat range from the recorded performances to the live performances \u2014 which could contribute to the study results.\u00a0</p><p>The researcher also noted that Swift has a largely choreographed show \u2014 while Metallica tends to not have choreography, noting this could alter tremor signals as well.</p><p>This instance, however, was not the first example of an earthquake caused by fans of the pop star.\u00a0</p><p>The dancing and jumping at the July 22 and 23 tour stops in Seattle, Washington, caused seismic activity similar to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake, according to Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, a seismologist and geology professor at Western Washington University.</p><p>Taylor
