Un băieţel de 6 ani a fost împuşcat şi ucis vineri pe o autostradă din California, după o dispută între mama sa şi un alt automobilist, a relatat presa locală, conform Agerpres. Panicată, mama a tras pe dreapta, şi-a luat fiul în braţe şi a văzut că sângera. Copilul a fost transportat la spital şi a murit din cauza rănilor suferite. Acesta a fost un "act izolat de violenţă rutieră", a declarat pentru Los Angeles Times Florentino Olivera, din cadrul poliţiei rutiere din California. Armele de foc sunt foarte răspândite în Statele Unite, iar copiii, uneori foarte mici, sunt victime regulate.

Brickham, a 38-year-old trans woman living in Florida, posted photos of her transition after seeing other trans creators do the same.

Trans creators told Insider that the "For You" page allowed them to quickly find a community and support on the app. Creators told Insider that the transphobia they faced on TikTok was more intense than on other social-media platforms.
