VILLA AHUMADA/PIEDRAS NEGRAS (Reuters) - Migrants were stranded in Mexico on Friday miles from the U.S. border after the freight train they were traveling on top of abruptly stopped, amid the ongoing suspension of dozens of northbound trains over fears around migrant safety.Hundreds of migrants were seen by a Reuters witness aboard a stationary train in a desert-like area near Villa Ahumada, some 123 km (76.43 miles) from the border town of Ciudad Juarez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua."They're treating us like animals," said Sasha Pacheco, who was on the stationary train, surrounded by her family including an infant."We're in a desert, there's only one tree... we're just an hour (from our destination), but it would take a day walking with a baby."Why would they take us if they're going to do this to us?" she asked, adding that there were no options to get buses or taxis from their current spot.Sixty northbound cargo trains run by Mexico's Ferromex were stopped last week, after about half a dozen migrants suffered death or injury. The company later said it restarted some routes where there was no known "heightened risk."Banners on the side of the train stopped in Villa Ahumada read, "Thank you Ferromex," put up by migrants who had been initially grateful that the trains had begun the journey.Grupo Mexico, which owns Ferromex, could not immediately be reached about the sudden train stoppage with migrants aboard near Villa Ahumada.Earlier in the day, a spokesperson said they had no additional updates to share about the exact number of trains still stopped."Concentrations of migrants continue to be monitored, and trains are moved, ensuring continuity of traffic, but avoiding high risks for people and for operations," they said.Venezuelan migrant Marlon Vera, who'd been traveling for two months, told Reuters that the train he was traveling on had stopped for several days before being halted once again near Villa Ahumada."We're here... without food, water, facing the cold, the heat," he said.The stoppage of trains in the past week has caused around $1 billion worth of goods to be stuck at the border.Meanwhile, further east, in the border city of Piedras Negras that sits opposite Eagle Pass, Texas, Venezuelan migrant Jose Julian said on Friday he had similarly been stranded while traveling aboard the cargo trains.He said he had climbed aboard a freight train along with some 2,000 other migrants in Monterrey several days ago, but somewhere past Torreon, the train stopped."They left us in the middle of the desert," he said, speaking on the banks of the Rio Grande river. "They didn’t care that there were children."He said it took 10 hours on foot to reach the next town, and in total three days to make it to the border.For years, migrants trying to reach the United States have crisscrossed Mexico on cargo trains. Collectively, such trains have become known as "La Bestia," (The Beast), for the risks riding via rail represented.(Reporting by Jose Luis Gonzalez in Villa Ahumada and Daniel Becerril in Piedras Negras, Additional reporting by Isabel Woodford and Kylie Madry in Mexico City, Writing by Isabel Woodford, Editing by Valentine Hilaire and Michael Perry)

✧⁠*⁠。One Act Play ✧⁠*⁠。

THEME: Forgiving for a Change to have a Chance

LENGTH: one act play

SETTING: School Building and Hospital

CHARACTERS:

Lauren Maxene Martinez

Kiel Aiden Juarez

Lyane Rae Salvador

Nate Anderson Vera

Ethan Dela PAz

Pierre Jefferson Tan

WHAT WILL BE YOUR NAME IN THE PLAY?

Lauren Maxene Martinez

WHAT WILL YOU BE LIKE?

I will be the main character

WHO ELSE CAN BE PART ON YOUR DREAM ROLE?

Aiden’s circle of friends

What will he/they be like?

They will be Aiden’s bestest friends

————— - ————— - ————— - —————

NARRATOR: Aiden is patiently waiting for maxene outside her building to apoligize because of a prank that his friends did.

Lyane: your face is telling me that it’s the end of the world, atty.

Maxene: this is nothing.

NARRATOR: Almost everyone is rooting for Maxene to succeed. That’s why she cried when she wasn’t able to finish her recital with Atty. Peralta. The pressure to live up to the expectations of the people around Maxene made her think that, maybe, these are the standards she needs to follow to attain her dreams and goals. The last time she almost failed a subject, her family was ashamed of her. That is why she can’t forget the day that Aiden put her life in hell.

Lyane and Maxene are peacefully walking not until someone caught maxene’s attention.

Austin: MAXENE! Maxene, let’s talk.

NARRATOR: Maxene heared a familiar voice.

Lyane: Oh God Maxene, your ex is here. Austin’s here.

Lauren: The cheater is in the house.

NARRATOR: Maxene whispered. She breathed heavily and faced her friend.

Maxene: Lyane Rae, If I said run, run, okay?

NARRATOR: Lyane confusingly and forcefully nodded. They started walking again while Austin is still trying to follow them to catch up with Maxene.

Maxene: 1, 2, 3, RUN!

NARRATOR: They run as fast as they can. Maxene is still not ready to face her ex. She don’t want to see the guy that fooled her.

Lyane: Max, I’m starting to get tired.

Maxene: you can’t get tired, he might find us.

NARRATOR: They are about to take a turn when Maxene saw that Austin is getting closer to her. Lyane is faster than her that’s why she also tried her best to keep up until she saw Aiden. He is quietly standing close to the storage room. There is a paper behind his head but she wasn’t able to read it since Aiden is blocking the way. She can’t decide if she’ll read the sign, look at Aiden, or she’ll run. However, Maxene ended up pushing Aiden inside so that Austin wouldn’t see them. After getting inside, Maxene immediately shut the door.

Maxene: Don’t make any noises, please. Just for once, Aiden. I’m hiding from Austin so stay quiet. I’m asking u for a few minutes.

NARRATOR: minutes have passed and Aiden is trying his best to fight his fear of small spaces. Maxene did not notice Aiden’s current state.

Aiden: Max-

NARRATOR: Aiden fell to the ground and Maxene was in shock. She doesn’t know what to do but she sat down beside Aiden and supported his head.

Maxene: you look so pale.

Aiden: please open the door.

NARRATOR: Maxene stood up quickly to open the door for Aiden but seems that they got stuck inside the storage room.

Maxene: hang in there, I’ll try to call Lyne to ask for help.

NARRATOR: Maxene tried to call Lyane and her friend answered.

Maxene: Hello, Lyane?! Tell the faculty that we are locked in the storage room. I'm with Aiden. Please faster. Leave the class if needed. I don't think Aiden is fine. Hurry!

Aiden: please don’t leave me

Maxen: I’ll stay by your side, I’m here.

NARRATOR: Maxene doesn’t know what to do but she stayed by his side and did not leave his side until they were saved.

They rushed Aiden to the hospital because he passed out. Maxene still insists to come even if Aiden’s friends were there to be with him because she promised that she will never leave his side.

Maxene: Aiden’s Claustrophobic?

Pierre: Yes, but me and our other friends are the only one that knows his phobia. He told us not to tell anyone because it’s embarrasing for him. It started when we were in senior high school. He was bullied by his classmates. They often locked him inside the bathroom. He still handled it at first but he they were too much and Aiden wasn’t able to handle all the trauma they gave him.

Nate: The bullying did not stop. When we were in first year, It was the final week for our first sem and they locked him again inside the bathroom. He badly wanted to get out that time because his mom was fighting for its life. Tita was suffering from Aneurysm, but he can’t make a way to get out but luckyly, there’s this one janitor that went to the bathroom to open the door.

Ethan: So I hope that you can forgive Aiden for the things he unintentionaly did. He might have ruined the most important requirement of your finals but he lost his mother and he has obtained a fear that he can never take away.

Maxene: I’m so selfish.

Nate: Aiden understands why your still angry at him but this day is a reminder that it is not too late to fix things, okay? It’s not too late to forgive, Maxene.

“It’s not too late to forgive Aiden and Yourself”

Vera Juarez deserved better. She was a great character, but she was killed off way too soon. Anyone who thinks otherwise can catch these hands.

Torchwood and the (Mis)treatment of its Characters of Color

Let’s be honest; despite its decent track record with queer characters, Torchwood has a problem with how it treats its characters of colors, and I say this as a South Asian, bisexual fan of the show.

For the purposes of this post, I will only be looking at the Torchwood television series (so spoilers for Seasons 1 and 2, Children of Earth, and Miracle Day), and not as Big Finish Torchwood releases since I do not believe myself to be well-versed enough in them to be able to make an accurate post. And also, as much as I love Big Finish for eveything they’re doing, on-screen POC representation is very different from audio POC representation. (And for the purposes of this post, I will not be addressing the mistreatment of Martha Jones, which really, if you think about it, stems from Doctor Who and not Torchwood.)

TLDR; Torchwood has neglected or mistreated its characters of color, given them little or no background, and brutally killed them off, often for shock value.

Let’s start with Suzie Costello.

Suzie Costello, played by Indira Varma who is a British actress of Indian descent, was promoted alongside the regular cast members in publicity material before “Everything Changes” aired, giving the impression that she would be sticking around for a while or would be a main character. Instead, she was unceremoniously killed off at the end of the first episode and only pops up once more in “They Keep Killing Suzie.” At no point was Suzie acknowledged as a woman of color or given much more background beyond her tumultuous, most likely abusive, relationship with her father.

Next, we get to Toshiko Sato, left as the only person of color on the team after Suzie’s death.

Wonderful, gorgeous, caring Tosh who, for all intents and purposes, is essentially a walking stereotype. She’s an Asian (Japanese specifically) technology genius who is unlucky at love. Need I say more? (Check out this Teen Vogue article if you’re wondering why that’s a bad thing, or, honestly, just quickly search Google.) And all three of the Tosh-heavy episodes (”Greeks Bearing Gifts,” “To the Last Man,” and “Adam”) feature her being unlucky in love (Mary betraying her, Tommy dying, and Adam manipulating her). Plus, there’s everything with Owen where she pines after him for years only for him to finally recognize that before he dies, and then he, well, dies; that plot arc only ends in death and sadness.

Additionally, we only have limited background for Tosh in comparison to Jack and Gwen (who I guess you could kind of say are the main characters) but even in comparison to Ianto (for whom more background was revealed only because he became a more prominent character in COE.) We know she was born in London, moved to Japan as a child, and at some point moved back before growing up in the United Kingdom. She had a younger brother (mentioned in a deleted scene in “Captain Jack Harkness”) and a grandfather who worked at Bletchley Park (mentioned in “Greeks Bearing Gifts” and “Captain Jack Harkness.”) She also very much loved her family, or at least her mother, enough to commit treason for her, despite her mother only being seen in “End of Days” and “Fragments.” But that’s about it.

There was so much more Torchwood could have done with Tosh. We could have seen more about her family or her education. We certainly could have seen more about her bisexuality; everything that happened with Mary was not a satisfying resolution. Instead, she was killed off alongside Owen in “Exit Wounds.” Torchwood used the death of a woman of color for shock value, and no matter how effective or emotional that was, it was not excusable. There was so much story left to be told with Toshiko Sato.

Tosh’s death brought the racial diversity in Torchwood down to zilch.

Next, we have Lisa Hallett.

Now, Lisa Hallett...what do we actually know about her? She worked at Torchwood One, dated Ianto Jones, and loved him enough to maybe fight cyberprogramming for him - this part might be subjective to your own interpretation of “Cyberwoman.” We don’t know anything about her, really, apart from how she is defined and described for a white male main character, which...is problematic enough. I mean, would it have been too much to ask the writers for maybe some further description? I mean, I don’t know. Maybe where exactly she worked in Torchwood London? How she joined? How she met Ianto? If she had any family, any other friends? Why she loved Torchwood and worked there? Heck, a flashback scene featuring a non-cyberized Lisa and Ianto would have been brilliant. Is that too much to have asked of the Torchwood writers? I don’t know.

Then there’s the entire fact that Lisa was turned into a Cyberwoman. Now, I have many problems with how Doctor Who and Torchwood uses its Cybermen, especially regarding its continuous brutalization of black and brown bodies for emotional and shock value (Lisa, Danny Pink, and Bill Potts are only some examples.) It sends a very, very nasty message to these shows’ viewers of color, especially if they’re younger and more impressionable. Plus, the depiction of Lisa in “Cyberwoman” was uncomfortable and unnecessarily sexualized, but this is a whole different essay. But in the end, Lisa Hallett was pumped with bullets many, many times, and her death only added to the emotional pain of a white man.

Now, we come to more minor characters.

Beth Halloran was a human who did not know her true identity as an alien sleeper agent. She had a very interesting and action-packed story arc in “Sleeper” before ending up dead at the hands of Torchwood. She had an emotional struggle between her human identity and her truth as an alien sleeper and chose to help save the world, intentionally ending up dead at the hands of Torchwood. That being said, she was still another character of color who Torchwood had bothered fleshing out who ended up dead.

Next, there’s Dr. Rupesh Patanjali.

Introduced in COE, he’s a medical doctor who catches Jack and Ianto working on a case and ends up piquing their interest after he makes some shit up. Spoiler alert: he’s an MI-5 plant. We see Gwen attempt to conduct orientation and recruitment with him. He has a fun setup to be a potential new Torchwood member and inside spy, but instead, he lures Jack to the hospital where Jack’s implanted with a bomb. And despite doing his job as requested and doing it rather well, Rupesh Patanjali is shot dead by Agent Johnson that very episode, just like Beth.

Then we have Lois Habiba, arguably the most interesting and fun character introduced in COE.

She’s a naive newcomer, almost like Gwen, but during her first week working in the Home Office, she finds herself committing treason, conspiring against her boss Frobisher, and helping save the world from an alien invasion. She’s smart, resourceful, and principled, very much like Ianto. Like with a lot of the characters on this list, we know next-to-nothing about her background, which is odd considering her rather major role in COE. And despite being seemingly set up to become a member of Torchwood, we never see her again.

Finally, we come to Miracle Day and its two new characters of color, Rex Matheson and Dr. Vera Juarez. I won’t be getting into too much detail here, especially since MD has its own problems.

Ah, Rex.

Torchwood finally has a man of color for a main character who seems like he could be an interesting foil to Jack (a high-ranking CIA agent with a high bullshit meter), and what do they do...they kill him in his first scene. Oh, and they make him “lightly” homophobic, because that’s always fun. And then he ends up immortal in some kind of bullshit plot hole...I have enough to say there.

Vera, however, was quite interesting. Again, little to no background besides the basic (from San Antonio, had an ex-husband, is a surgeon), but she was still a Latina medical doctor. She had morals and was very stubborn and determined to save people, which is why she insisted into helping Torchwood sneak into the overflow camp. And what did she get for that? She ended up brutually shot in front of her lover Rex, which traumatized them both, and then literally burnt alive. Thrown on top of that? In a quite meta move really, the death of another woman of color was used to incite outrage around the country, and the world, and expose the wrongdoings of the United States government regarding the Miracle. Good stuff? Either way, it came at the cost of the death of one strong woman of color and the further trauma of another man of color.

Plus, there’s everything about how unnecessarily violent and graphic some of the deaths of these characters of color. To put it into perspective, think about how Owen or Ianto or Esther died. (I’m not trying to reduce the values of their deaths; I’m just trying to get you to think about it.)

So yeah, that’s all I have to say about that. Torchwood, you could have done better with your characters of color. (And thank you if you stuck all this way with me.)

TLDR; Torchwood has neglected or mistreated its characters of color, given them little or no background, and brutally killed them off, often for shock value.
