This thought-provoking work makes a compelling case for individual liberty, asserting that moral behavior cannot be legislated and that the role of the state should be limited to preventing harm to others.

  5 Types of Eating Disorders -...

  Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. They go beyond simple concerns about food and body weight, influencing emotional well-being, self-esteem, and overall health. While many associate eating disorders with extreme thinness or excessive eating, the reality is that they exist on a spectrum, affecting individuals in diverse ways. These disorders are not merely lifestyle choices; they are serious medical conditions with potentially life-threatening consequences. Understanding the different types of eating disorders is essential for identifying warning signs, promoting early intervention, and supporting those who struggle with disordered eating behaviors.  
    
  The causes of eating disorders are multifaceted, involving genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. Societal pressures and unrealistic beauty standards contribute significantly to the development of these conditions, as media portrayal of body ideals often distorts self-perception. Additionally, personal experiences such as trauma, stress, and co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety or depression can increase vulnerability to disordered eating patterns. Recognizing these risk factors helps in fostering a more empathetic and informed approach to addressing eating disorders.  
    
  One of the greatest challenges in combating eating disorders is the stigma and misinformation surrounding them. Many people believe that individuals can simply “snap out of it” or that eating disorders only affect young women. However, they impact people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Some disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, are more widely recognized, while others, like avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and orthorexia, remain relatively unknown despite their serious consequences. This lack of awareness often prevents individuals from seeking help, delaying diagnosis and treatment.

  Insurrection - Rebellion Civil...

  The little-known and under-studied 1807 Insurrection Act was passed to give the president the ability to deploy federal military forces to fend off lawlessness and rebellion, but it soon became much more than the sum of its parts. Its power is integrally linked to the perceived threat of black American equity in what lawyer and critic Hawa Allan demonstrates is a dangerous paradox. While the Act was initially used to repress rebellion against slavery, during Reconstruction it was invoked by President Grant to quell white-supremacist uprisings in the South. During the civil rights movement, it enabled the protection of black students who attended previously segregated educational institutions. Most recently, the Insurrection Act has been the vehicle for presidents to call upon federal troops to suppress so-called "race riots" like those in Los Angeles in 1992, and for them to threaten to do so in other cases of racial justice activism. 
   
   
   
  Allan's distinctly literary voice underscores her paradigm-shifting reflections on the presence of fear and silence in history and their shadowy impact on the law. Throughout, she draws revealing insight from her own experiences as one of the only black girls in her leafy Long Island suburb, as a black lawyer at a predominantly white firm, and as a thinker about the use and misuse of appeals to law and order.

  Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. 
    
  When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. 
    
  In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally.
