harga kasur ocean magical By KENYA HUNTER, Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — As she checked into a recent flight to Mexico for vacation, Teja Smith chuckled at the idea of joining another Women’s March on Washington . As a Black woman, she just couldn’t see herself helping to replicate the largest act of resistance against then-President Donald Trump’s first term in January 2017. Even in an election this year where Trump questioned his opponent’s race , held rallies featuring racist insults and falsely claimed Black migrants in Ohio were eating residents’ pets , he didn’t just win a second term. He became the first Republican in two decades to clinch the popular vote, although by a small margin. “It’s like the people have spoken and this is what America looks like,” said Smith, the Los Angeles-based founder of the advocacy social media agency, Get Social. “And there’s not too much more fighting that you’re going to be able to do without losing your own sanity.” After Trump was declared the winner over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris , many politically engaged Black women said they were so dismayed by the outcome that they were reassessing — but not completely abandoning — their enthusiasm for electoral politics and movement organizing. Black women often carry much of the work of getting out the vote in their communities. They had vigorously supported the historic candidacy of Harris, who would have been the first woman of Black and South Asian descent to win the presidency. Harris’ loss spurred a wave of Black women across social media resolving to prioritize themselves, before giving so much to a country that over and over has shown its indifference to their concerns. AP VoteCast , a survey of more than 120,000 voters, found that 6 in 10 Black women said the future of democracy in the United States was the single most important factor for their vote this year, a higher share than for other demographic groups. But now, with Trump set to return to office in two months, some Black women are renewing calls to emphasize rest, focus on mental health and become more selective about what fight they lend their organizing power to. “America is going to have to save herself,” said LaTosha Brown, the co-founder of the national voting rights group Black Voters Matter. She compared Black women’s presence in social justice movements as “core strategists and core organizers” to the North Star, known as the most consistent and dependable star in the galaxy because of its seemingly fixed position in the sky. People can rely on Black women to lead change, Brown said, but the next four years will look different. “That’s not a herculean task that’s for us. We don’t want that title. ... I have no goals to be a martyr for a nation that cares nothing about me,” she said. AP VoteCast paints a clear picture of Black women’s concerns. Black female voters were most likely to say that democracy was the single most important factor for their vote, compared to other motivators such as high prices or abortion. More than 7 in 10 Black female voters said they were “very concerned” that electing Trump would lead the nation toward authoritarianism, while only about 2 in 10 said this about Harris. About 9 in 10 Black female voters supported Harris in 2024, according to AP VoteCast, similar to the share that backed Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. Trump received support from more than half of white voters, who made up the vast majority of his coalition in both years. Like voters overall, Black women were most likely to say the economy and jobs were the most important issues facing the country, with about one-third saying that. But they were more likely than many other groups to say that abortion and racism were the top issues, and much less likely than other groups to say immigration was the top issue. Despite those concerns, which were well-voiced by Black women throughout the campaign, increased support from young men of color and white women helped expand Trump’s lead and secured his victory. Politically engaged Black women said they don’t plan to continue positioning themselves in the vertebrae of the “backbone” of America’s democracy. The growing movement prompting Black women to withdraw is a shift from history, where they are often present and at the forefront of political and social change. One of the earliest examples is the women’s suffrage movement that led to ratification in 1920 of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution , which gave women the right to vote. Black women, however, were prevented from voting for decades afterward because of Jim Crow-era literacy tests, poll taxes and laws that blocked the grandchildren of slaves from voting. Most Black women couldn’t vote until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Black women were among the organizers and counted among the marchers brutalized on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama, during the historic march in 1965 from Selma to Montgomery that preceded federal legislation. Decades later, Black women were prominent organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement in response to the deaths of Black Americans at the hands of police and vigilantes. In his 2024 campaign, Trump called for leveraging federal money to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs in government programs and discussions of race, gender or sexual orientation in schools. His rhetoric on immigration, including false claims that Black Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating cats and dogs, drove support for his plan to deport millions of people . Tenita Taylor, a Black resident of Atlanta who supported Trump this year, said she was initially excited about Harris’ candidacy. But after thinking about how high her grocery bills have been, she feels that voting for Trump in hopes of finally getting lower prices was a form of self-prioritization. “People say, ‘Well, that’s selfish, it was gonna be better for the greater good,”’ she said. “I’m a mother of five kids. ... The things that (Democrats) do either affect the rich or the poor.” Some of Trump’s plans affect people in Olivia Gordon’s immediate community, which is why she struggled to get behind the “Black women rest” wave. Gordon, a New York-based lawyer who supported the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s presidential nominee, Claudia de la Cruz, worries about who may be left behind if the 92% of Black women voters who backed Harris simply stopped advocating. “We’re talking millions of Black women here. If millions of Black women take a step back, it absolutely leaves holes, but for other Black women,” she said. “I think we sometimes are in the bubble of if it’s not in your immediate circle, maybe it doesn’t apply to you. And I truly implore people to understand that it does.” Nicole Lewis, an Alabama-based therapist who specializes in treating Black women’s stress, said she’s aware that Black women withdrawing from social impact movements could have a fallout. But she also hopes that it forces a reckoning for the nation to understand the consequences of not standing in solidarity with Black women. “It could impact things negatively because there isn’t that voice from the most empathetic group,” she said. “I also think it’s going to give other groups an opportunity to step up. ... My hope is that they do show up for themselves and everyone else.” Brown said a reckoning might be exactly what the country needs, but it’s a reckoning for everyone else. Black women, she said, did their job when they supported Harris in droves in hopes they could thwart the massive changes expected under Trump. “This ain’t our reckoning,” she said. “I don’t feel no guilt.” AP polling editor Amelia Thomson DeVeaux and Associated Press writer Linley Sanders in Washington contributed to this report.

The Flyers coughed up a 3-0 lead Monday night en route to a 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights at the Wells Fargo Center. They relinquished a 4-3 edge in the third period when Tanner Pearson scored with 8:05 minutes left. Vegas won the game with a tally from Jack Eichel in the skills competition. Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are Travis Konecny, Matvei Michkov and Owen Tippett came up empty in the shootout for the Flyers. The Flyers had a power play in overtime but couldn't convert. Michkov, Morgan Frost, Sean Couturier and Emil Andrae all found the back of the net for the Flyers. Andrae's marker was the first of his NHL career and gave the Flyers what appeared to be a commanding 3-0 lead just 28 seconds into the second period. But the Golden Knights turned it on and the Flyers weren't very good in the second period. John Tortorella's club saw overtime for the sixth time in the last nine games. It dropped to 3-2 in the shootout. Complete coverage of the Philadelphia Flyers and their rivals in the NHL from NBC Sports Philadelphia. The Flyers (9-10-3) went 2-2-1 on their homestand. They've earned at least a point in 10 of their last 15 games (8-5-2) after starting the season 1-5-1. The Golden Knights (14-6-2) were without some key pieces in William Karlsson (personal reasons), Mark Stone (lower body) and Alex Pietrangelo (upper body). The Flyers open the 2025 portion of their schedule when they visit Vegas on Jan. 2 • Ivan Fedotov made 26 saves on 30 shots. He denied one of two attempts in the shootout. The Golden Knights got after him with 19 shots in the second period, scoring three goals to whittle the Flyers' lead down to 4-3 at intermission. The 6-foot-7 netminder wasn't quick playing the puck behind his net when Eichel got Vegas on the board. Under five minutes later, Scott Laughton had a turnover in the offensive zone that sprung the Golden Knights the other way on their second goal. Ivan Barbashev finished the sequence to make it 3-2. After the Flyers pushed their lead back to two, Couturier was whistled for hooking and Pavel Dorofeyev scored just five seconds into Vegas' power play. Fedotov has given up four goals in each of his last two starts. He has faced a lot of shots, 67 in total. Golden Knights goalie Ilya Samsonov entered 11-2-0 with a 2.52 goals-against average and .910 save percentage in his career against the Flyers. The 11 wins are his most against any club. He stopped 32 of the Flyers' 36 shots Monday night. • Andrae and Rasmus Ristolainen were each a plus-3 and very effective together. • Tortorella was mostly pleased with Frost's defensive effort last Saturday, the center's first game back from a stretch of four healthy scratches in five games. But the head coach wanted to see Frost's offense come to life. And he got his wish Monday night. Frost opened the game's scoring by redirecting a Ristolainen shot 8:51 minutes into the action. It was his second goal in 18 games. From there, you could see his confidence spike. He picked up an assist on Michkov's goal, which restored some order for the Flyers in the second period, cushioning their lead back to 4-2. For Michkov, it was his eighth goal and 17th point in 20 games. The helper gave Frost his second multi-point game of the season. The 25-year-old has overcome slow starts in the past . We'll see if Monday night's output gets him going. • Over four minutes into the third period, Garnet Hathaway had a painful blocked shot and immediately went up the tunnel. He appeared to be shaking his hand. The 33-year-old winger returned to the bench about four minutes later. • Jamie Drysdale (upper body) was out for a seventh straight game and Samuel Ersson (lower body) missed his sixth game in a row. Both players are considered day to day. A post shared by Jordan Hall (@jhall_nbcs) • In conjunction with the league-wide initiative , the Flyers held their annual Hockey Fights Cancer night. To bring awareness to all of those impacted by cancer, players wore white and lavender jerseys to the arena. Fans can bid on those jerseys here at FlyersCharities.com . A post shared by Jordan Hall (@jhall_nbcs) • The Flyers, amid a stretch of four games in six days, head to Nashville, Tennessee for a matchup Wednesday with the Predators (8 p.m. ET/NBCSP+).

After use, the lights can be removed and the utensils run through the dishwasher. $40.The Titans have three players to consider as sleepers for Week 15 against Cincinnati with Will Levis , Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine . All three have fantastic matchups against the Bengals defense at home. Start with Levis, who is only going to be used in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 15, which is the start of the Fantasy playoffs. Levis injured his shoulder in Week 14 against Jacksonville and scored just 7.1 Fantasy points, but prior to that he scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points in three of his previous four games. He practiced this week without limitations, and now he's facing a Cincinnati defense that is No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Three quarterbacks in the past four games against the Bengals have scored at least 28.4 Fantasy points, and Levis will hopefully take advantage of this secondary. This should also benefit Ridley and Westbrook-Ikhine. Ridley scored 12.9 PPR points in Week 14 against Jacksonville, which was somewhat disappointing since he had 12 targets, but he only managed seven catches for 59 yards. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 10, but this could be a breakout game for him given the matchup. He's a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. In their past four games, the Bengals have allowed 41 catches for 704 yards and eight touchdowns to receivers from Baltimore, the Chargers , Pittsburgh and Dallas. Tylan Wallace , Rashod Bateman , Ladd McConkey , Quentin Johnston , George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb all scored at least 12.8 PPR points against Cincinnati over that span, which will hopefully help Ridley and Westbrook-Ikhine, who is a good flier in deeper leagues. It would be great if Westbrook-Ikhine got back in the end zone. Prior to Week 14 against Jacksonville when he was held to one catch for 19 yards on two targets, he scored a touchdown in three games in a row and seven times in his past eight games. This could be a fun game between the Bengals and Titans in Week 15, especially if the Tennessee offense shows up. I'm expecting that to happen, which is why I like Levis, Ridley and Westbrook-Ikhine as sleepers.
