We started one day, we called them and they kept coming and coming and coming until this heterogeneous group of women became homogeneous. It's difficult to bring down women who are brought together for an objective because of course it's politics, but it's an issue of humanity. Women suffer a lot in Cuba, they have to bear the emotional weight of the families, there's a lot of gender-based violence in Cuba which the government doesn't want to qualify as a crime. It's the only country in the Western hemisphere that doesn't qualify it as such. And, when women protest social situations, they become victims of institutional violence. They have very difficult lives.

Newser reports the FBI has just announced the arrest of a suspect believed to be the 'Con Queen of Hollywood.'

Instead, he lost about $70,000 paying for drivers, translators, and 'fixers,' which was never reimbursed. Among others, Tahilramani posed as Kathleen Kennedy of Lucasfilm, former Paramount boss Sherry Lansing, and Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife, Wendi Deng.
