Primaries are over. The candidates are the candidates. We are in serious danger with President Dr. Strangelove Lame Duck. His people are going to push him to do even more evil. And if you think your purity will spare you? Please. #VOTE

Zara has done this so many times with clothes reminiscent of concentration camp uniforms or sticking swastikas on things and claiming it's an oopsie that they don't get the benefit of the doubt. Once might be a mistake, but as many times as they've done it sure seems like they've got a Nazi problem.

Lacks’s kitchen in Turner Station, Md., was always open. She was known for cooking massive meals for her family and neighbors, particularly her famous hot rolls, which family members still talk about decades later. She was always willing to take in a cousin or a friend who needed a place to stay. /4
Henrietta Lacks statue by Lawrence Bechtel in Roanoke, Va. The bronze statue portrays Henrietta standing tall and proud. Her arms are crossed, her chin is high, and she wears a warm, inviting smile. Her pose radiates human dignity, inviting strangers to walk up and look into her eyes. The statue was unveiled on Oct. 4, 2023, the 72nd anniversary of her death. It stands in downtown Roanoke at Henrietta Lacks Plaza. The monument in the plaza was so impactful that it sparked a wider initiative to weave Henrietta’s legacy into the local medical landscape. On the morning the main statue was unveiled, miniature bronze versions (maquettes) were dedicated inside local medical institutions. These statues are placed so that medical students and future doctors must look upon her face every day. It serves as a permanent reminder of the ethical duty physicians owe to their patients and a stark acknowledgment of historical healthcare inequities.

Born in rural Roanoke, Va., Lacks grew up working on a tobacco farm with her grandfather. She and her husband, David “Day” Lacks, had five children. During the WWII industrial boom, they moved to Maryland so he could work at the Bethlehem Steel shipyard, while she managed their busy household. /3
Henrietta Lacks (left) and her husband, David “Day” Lacks, in an undated, heavily damaged photo. When Henrietta was only four years old, her mother died. Unable to care for his 10 children alone, her father took them to Clover, Va., and divided them among various relatives. Henrietta was sent to live with her maternal grandfather, Tommy Lacks, who lived in what the family called the “Home-House.” It was a four-room log cabin that had been the slave quarters on a sprawling tobacco plantation. The plantation had originally belonged to Henrietta’s white great-grandfather, Albert Lacks. Henrietta, her grandfather and her cousins woke up at 4:00 a.m. every day to toil in the same tobacco fields where their ancestors had been enslaved. Day and Henrietta were cousins who grew up together in Clover, sharing a long history before they became husband and wife. He was a complex, quiet man whose life was upended by the loss of his wife and the medical exploitation that followed.

Before she was a medical miracle, Lacks was a vibrant, loving woman who took care of everyone around her. She didn’t lead protests or write books, but her short life was defined by a quiet, steady strength in a world that was incredibly difficult for African American women in the 1930s and 40s. /2
Portrait of Henrietta Lacks in the National Portrait Gallery. The portrait depicts Lacks standing in a red dress and holding a bible. She is wearing a straw hat that’s tilted back on her head, creating a halo or nimbus effect. Behind her is a stylized honeycomb pattern representing her cells. The portrait is a fitting tribute to a woman who was a devout Catholic and who loved the color red. She took great pride in her appearance, often wearing bright red lipstick and always kept her fingernails neatly manicured and painted a matching, brilliant red. In the portrait, Henrietta has a radiant smile, illustrating a woman who loved to dance and laugh.

#ResistanceRoots Henrietta Lacks died on this day in 1951 in Baltimore, Md. She only became well-known for what she contributed after her death. However, she deserves to be remembered as a beautiful young mother who was much more than her immortalized human cell line used in medical research. /1
Henrietta Lacks, ca. late 1940s. Lacks is the unwitting mother of modern medical research whose exploitation forced the world to reinvent medical ethics. As the source of the HeLa cell line, she unknowingly gave humanity its first “immortal” human cells, enabling medical advances that have touched millions of lives worldwide. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is the stark reality of paternalistic, Jim Crow-era medicine, where a poor Black woman’s body could be harvested without her knowledge or informed consent. For decades, Henrietta was reduced to an anonymous laboratory code. Today, her descendants, artists and global communities have fought to ensure she is remembered as a person. Her final resting place is marked with a granite headstone honoring her not just as a medical miracle, but as a mother who loved to cook, wear bright red lipstick, and take care of her family.

GREAT NEWS !! Thanks to SCIENCE — specifically, Dr. Fauci — a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV will not reopen in 2027… because there aren’t any HIV infected kids to attend anymore! More of the story in the Alt-Text:
Thanks to rock-bottom rates of HIV infection among babies in the state, One Heartland, one of the nation's largest summer campgrounds for HIV-positive kids, is no longer needed.

Perinatal transmission of HIV, when children contract the virus while in the womb or breastfeeding, has fallen to below 1% in HIV-positive mothers in the United States thanks to antiretroviral medications.
Globally, new HIV infections among children up to age 14 have declined by 38% since 2015.

And this is all thanks to Dr. Fauci!

Appointed NIAID director in 1984, Fauci oversaw large-scale clinical trials networks that helped transform HIV from a fatal diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition
