Texas rapper and community activist Trae tha Truth has scored a huge human rights victory in Harris County.
The Houston Chronicle reports that early last month, Trae reached an agreement with Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez to allow prisoners in the county to attend the funerals of loved ones via Zoom video call. This has never happened in the city of Houston, the rapper wrote in a news release posted to Instagram. Often when someone dies in an inmate s family, they are not able to go to the funeral. According to the release, over 20 inmates have been able to attend funerals via Zoom calls since the deal was reached.

WASHINGTON – The United States flew strategic bombers over the Persian Gulf on Wednesday for the second time this month, a show of force meant to deter Iran from attacking American or allied targets in the Middle East.
One senior U.S. military officer said the flight by two Air Force B-52 bombers was in response to signals that Iran may be planning attacks against U.S. allied targets in neighboring Iraq or elsewhere in the region in coming days, even as President-elect Joe Biden prepares to take office. The officer was not authorized to publicly discuss internal assessments based on sensitive intelligence and spoke on condition of anonymity.
