Prominent 'Mothers of the Movement' With Dead Sons Rally For Hillary Clinton

The Hillary Clinton campaign released a gripping three-minute ad on Friday, titled 'Mothers of the Movement'. Titled 'Mothers of the Movement', the spot features Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin; Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of Sandra Bland; Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner; Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontre Hamilton; and Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis.

"Each of us has lived through our own tragedies, which are all different," says McBath, whose son was killed at a gas station in November 2012, following an argument over loud music. Each of the mothers talks about how their children were killed, in each case at the hands of one or more police officers.

"This is what we need our officials to recognize," said Carr, in discussing issues of justice, police reform and gun-related violence and what Clinton can do to advance this critical American conversation.

Clinton has met with each of the mothers on the campaign trail, as shown in the ad. "The stakes are too high, the costs are too dear, and I am not and will not be afraid to keep fighting for common-sense reforms and — along with you — achieve those on behalf of all who have been lost," Clinton says.

As Garner's mother confirms, "She's been fighting for a long time with these issues." Meanwhile, Martin's mother praises Clinton, saying, "Finally, someone here is really willing to listen and to really stimulate change."

"She's been fighting for a long time for these issues," Carr adds again to reinforce the message.

Kate Winslet Challenges Apple Devices As Being Bad For Family Life

Kate Winslet Rules In Alexi Lubomirski Images For Esquire UK November 2015

One of the acclaimed stars of the new movie 'Steve Jobs', British actorKate Winslet just posted a challenging interview with The Sunday Times, arguing that parents are "losing control" of their children to social media. 

Winslet said that social media has a "huge impact on young women's self-esteem", so much so that it made her "blood boil". 

These are tough-talking, fighting words from the mom of three children, proving that beautiful lingerie and posing in sensual, Alexi Lubomirskiimages for Esquire UK in no way invalidate conscientious parenting.

Today's Young Women Design Themselves To Be Liked

Talking about young women in particular, Kate expressed concerns that "all they ever do is design themselves for people to like them. " Arguing that the entire social media world is designed to create -- intentionally or otherwise -- eating disorders, Winslet says there is no social media in our house. 

Kate is troubled by the addictive quality of the devices Apple designed, saying that people "practically kiss them goodnight." These trends all make for difficult family-building experiences, with modern families separating into camps even in cafes. Do they speak to each other, asks Winslet? No. They look past each other, with heads buried down in their mobile devices. 

“They go into a world, and parents let them. I’m going to get slagged off for saying this, but it takes every member of a family to be a family, and there are too many interruptions these days — and devices are a huge interruption,” Winslet added.

Franca Sozzani Receives Légion d’Honneur at the Élysée Palace, Si Newhouse Calls Her 'Infallible'

Vogue Italia editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani received France’s Légion d’Honneur at the Élysée Palace in Paris yesterday, awarded to her by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Her perfect pin looked perfect with the gold-embroidered Dolce & Gabbana dress she wore to celebrate the occasion.

Jonathan Newhouse, Chairman of Condé Nast International, had many choice words for France. They include:

" The press sometimes describes Franca Sozzani as the Pope of fashion. Why is she perceived this way? Maybe because Franca is Italian and very powerful with a worldwide influence. Maybe because, like the Holy Father, she is universally known by her first name. Or maybe because when she speaks, she is considered to be....infallible.

All of these things are true. But they do not go far enough in explaining Franca’s uniqueness and why she is so deeply admired, respected and loved.

Always outspoken, recently on her blog about International Women’s Day celebrations.

Rather than the celebration of mimosas, this should be a day of protest, a silent but concrete protest, in the name of which we should all support the countless associations struggling in defense of women. Supporting the needs of other women is more significant than routinely giving them good wishes.
