SUMMARY: Kim Kardashian testified in a Paris court about the 2016 robbery where she was bound, held at gunpoint, and robbed of nearly $10 million in cash and jewelry. During the traumatic incident, she feared sexual assault and death as the two armed robbers, dressed as police, tied her up in her luxury apartment. The trial involves 10 defendants, known as the Grandpa Gang, aged 30 to 70. Two have admitted involvement, including a 68-year-old deaf man who apologized. Kardashian, emotional throughout, forgave him but said the experience changed her life. Verdict is expected in one week.

Kim Kardashian said a silent prayer — for her sister, her best friend, her family — as a masked man pulled her toward him in a Paris hotel room during the 2016 jewelry heist that changed her life. She wore a bathrobe. Her hands were zip-tied. Her mouth was taped. She thought she wouldn’t survive.

“I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me,” she told a Paris court Tuesday. “I absolutely did think I was going to die.”

SUMMARY: The sex crimes trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs resumed in New York with testimony from his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. She described painful experiences from their relationship, including a 2016 hotel incident where Combs was seen on security footage assaulting her. Ventura’s testimony is vital for prosecutors, as it adds personal detail to the widely seen video evidence of Combs’s violence. LAPD officer Israel Flores also testified about Combs attempting to bribe him to cover up the incident. The defense argued that the violence stemmed from jealousy, not sex trafficking, and Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

SUMMARY: In March 2024, demonstrators rallied outside the North Carolina Legislative Building holding signs supporting transgender youth amid proposed legislation. Republican state senators introduced a 2025 bill imposing new restrictions on transgender rights, following earlier efforts like the bathroom bill. Recent House-approved legislation bars abuse or neglect charges against parents refusing to acknowledge their child’s gender identity. While supporters claim the bill upholds parental rights, they rejected an amendment protecting supportive parents, reflecting political hostility toward transgender youth. Experts emphasize gender dysphoria as a recognized medical condition, with gender transition often lifesaving. Denying this endangers vulnerable young people’s well-being.

SUMMARY: The Stop Asian Hate campaign, launched in 2020 amid rising anti-Asian racism during the COVID-19 pandemic, marks its fifth year in 2025. It began after a rise in verbal and physical attacks on Asian-Americans, including one incident involving a student. The coalition, Stop AAPI Hate, documented discrimination ranging from harassment to workplace and housing bias, influencing policy changes such as national anti-hate laws and state mandates for AAPI history education. Despite progress, new waves of hate emerge, fueled by anti-immigrant narratives. The campaign encourages individuals to report incidents and engage in activism to combat ongoing hate.

Stop AAPI Hate has become a leading force in tracking and addressing the rise in anti-Asian attacks in communities across the country.
