Joseph exposes the insidious contradiction of Massachusetts' advanced health care system and the exclusionary experiences of its immigrant communities.

Tariffs and Trade Policies: President Trump's Tariff Announcement: On April 2nd, President Trump announced high tariffs on nearly every country, the highest since 1933. This caused significant market turmoil, with a $6 trillion loss in 48 hours. Debate within the White House: There is an ongoing debate about whether to use these tariffs as leverage to lower other countries' tariffs and then reduce U.S. tariffs or to keep them permanently. Impact on Manufacturing: The tariffs aim to bring back manufacturing jobs to the U.S., which have been lost over the past 50 years. International Reactions: Countries like Vietnam and Israel are eager to negotiate deals to reduce tariffs. Over 50 countries have reached out to the U.S. for negotiations. Nationwide Injunctions: Judicial Activism: The discussion highlights the issue of nationwide injunctions issued by left-wing judges to block President Trump's policies. This has been a significant challenge for the administration. Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing: There was a hearing on the topic, discussing the threat to democracy and the rule of law posed by these injunctions. Economic Strategies: Invest USA Fund: A proposal for an investment fund to encourage companies to build factories in the U.S. and receive tariff credits in return. China and National Security: Decoupling from China: The discussion emphasizes the importance of reducing economic dependence on China for national security reasons, especially in critical supply chains.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 31st of March and here are the headlines.Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis Monday said there is “no need to search” for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's successor as he will continue to hold the top post again in 2029. The statement came in response to Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut claim that the RSS is set to pick Modi's successor. Earlier in the day, Raut said Modi's visit to the RSS headquarters in Nagpur on Sunday was to convey the message to Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat that he is retiring. “There is no need to search for his successor. He (Modi) is our leader and will continue,” Fadnavis said, speaking to reporters in Nagpur.Kashmir's chief priest Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Monday condemned the decision of the Valley authorities to “not allow” Eid prayers at the sacred spaces of Eidgah and Jama Masjid and said it showcases the “oppressive and authoritarian approach that prevails in Kashmir today”. In a video statement on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, he also claimed that he has been placed under house arrest ahead of the prayers. “Eidgah and Jama Masjid belong to the people. Barring them from these sacred spaces even on Eid reflects an oppressive and authoritarian approach that prevails in Kashmir today,” Mirwaiz said in a post on X.Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemning the Centre's decision to permit offshore mining along the coasts of Kerala, Gujarat, and Andaman & Nicobar. Urging the government to cancel the tenders issued for the offshore mining blocks, Gandhi asserted that rigorous scientific studies must be undertaken to assess the environmental as well as socio-economic impact of offshore mining. “But most importantly, all stakeholders, especially our fisherfolk must be consulted before any major decision is taken. Their lives are intertwined with the fate of our oceans. Let us work collectively towards building a sustainable future for all,” the Congress leader has written in the letter.US President Donald Trump has said that he is “very angry” and “pissed off” with Russian President Vladimir Putin after attempting to broker a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine, and said he would impose sanctions on buyers of Russian oil if he feels that the Kremlin is blocking the deal negotiation.Citing a telephone interview with NBC News, it's reported that Trump was angry with Putin after he raised doubts over the credibility of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's leadership last week. The US president even threatened to impose a 50% tariff on countries buying Russian oil if Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire deal. Trump's frustration grew due to a lack of movement in the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire agreement, as he said that he could impose new trade restrictions on Russia within a month. The war began in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine.Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday rejected direct negotiations with the United States over the nuclear program, offering Tehran's first response to President Donald Trump's explosive letter wherein he threatened to bomb Iran if it doesn't negotiate over the nuclear deal. President Pezeshkian said that the response of Iran via the sultanate of Oman still has the possibility of indirect negotiations with Washington. During Trump's first term in 2018, he had unilaterally withdrawn America from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers. “We don't avoid talks; it's the breach of promises that has caused issues for us so far. They must prove that they can build trust,” Pezeshkian said. The US State Department, in its response to President Pezeshkian, stated that America cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.That's all for the today. This was the CatchuUp on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

If I asked you how many tasks you completed or carried today, would you find yourself exhausted by list? Women often find themselves juggling an invisible yet overwhelming mental load known as “caregiving.” This burden frequently stems from societal expectations that position us as primary caregivers, responsible for managing not only physical tasks, but also emotional and mental duties of not only ourselves but our partners, children, work obligations, at times parent obligations, to name a few. Today, we are deep diving into the concept of this mental load and breaking down its multifaceted impacts and how the ongoing demands take us further away from positive emotions. However, it doesn't stop there. Often unacknowledged or undervalued by society at large, this work can lead to feelings of isolation and exhaustions. These demands are deeply rooted in traditional gender roles that demand selfless nurturing without adequate support or recognition. The result? Burnout and a disconnection from one's own identity and desires. We must get into a space of reclaiming ourselves—this episode is the how you probably didn't know you needed! Let's get right to it… Key Points: Understanding Mental Load: Explore what constitutes the 'mental load'—the invisible work primarily shouldered by women. Discuss its impact on emotional and mental health for caregivers like mothers, partners, and daughters. Breaking Down Emotional Labor: Analyze why tasks such as organizing family schedules or managing household duties are emotionally exhausting. Recognize these responsibilities as a significant component of daily life stressors. The Importance of Self-Care: Emphasize prioritizing self-care to prevent burnout. Strategies for integrating personal needs alongside caregiving responsibilities. Redefining Caregiving Roles: Challenge societal expectations that place undue burden on women to be primary caregivers. Encourage shared responsibility among family members and community support systems. Setting Boundaries & Seeking Support: Practical advice on setting boundaries to alleviate overwhelming demands. Tips for having difficult conversations about dividing caregiving tasks more equitably. Reclaiming Personal Identity: Encouragement to reconnect with activities and passions outside of caregiver roles. Highlighting the importance of maintaining individuality amidst caregiving duties. Addressing Mental Health Crisis Among Women: – Discussion on how unaddressed mental loads contribute to anxiety and depression among female caregivers. – Urging listeners to acknowledge their limits without guilt or shame. Creating Cultural Change in Perception of Caregiving: – Promoting a shift towards viewing caregiving as a collective effort rather than an individual burden. Actionable Steps: Identify areas where your mental load is overwhelming; seek ways you can delegate or automate tasks. Have open discussions with partners/family about sharing responsibilities equally—both physical tasks and emotional support roles matter! Prioritize self-care by scheduling regular breaks; give yourself permission not just physically but mentally too! Reconnect with interests/hobbies that bring joy; remember who you were before becoming absorbed into full-time caregiver mode! Conclusion: Caregiving doesn't have to mean sacrificing oneself entirely—it's vital we redefine our approach so everyone thrives together!
