Victims of the Douglas High School shooting (14 Feb. 2018)
‘‘… History remembers the killer’s name and rarely does history remember the name of the victim, … Everyone should read the names and look at the faces of the people who lost their lives that day… Take a moment to remember them…’’

“It should come as no surprise to fans of writer/director Alan Ball that his latest series features a gender fluid Muslim teen in a hijab.
The creator of HBO hits “True Blood” and “Six Feet Under,” and the writer of “American Beauty,” has been applauded for prominently featuring LGBT characters and storylines.
“Here and Now,” his latest drama premiering Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO, combines elements from both of his previous shows. There’s a supernatural aspect like “True Blood,” yet it revolves around a family, like “Six Feet Under.”
Ramon (Daniel Zovatto), a gay video game designer who was adopted from Colombia, begins seeing things that no one else can — like signs of the number 11 everywhere. This prompts him to visit a psychiatrist (Peter Macdissi), who Ramon had a dream about as a little boy. The psychiatrist is a married Muslim with a gender fluid child, Navid (Marwan Salama).
