#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.

She actually called them kids and doesn't think they "should engage in activity" with a drunk woman. ENGAGE IN ACTIVITY? They weren't crafting or taking up a hobby. 🤬🤬🤬

I'm an Ohioan who's counting on my state's racism to work in my favor this time. 🤞🏻 Of course, the D candidate is a woman, so we'll find out if racism or misogyny wins the day. 🙄

Spot the difference
Side-by-side comparison of three social media posts announcing the death of former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert at age 84. On the left, Fox News posts, “BREAKING: Dennis Hastert, longest-serving Republican House speaker, dead at 84,” above a photo of Hastert raising his hand at a microphone. In the center, CBS News posts, “Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died,” above a photo of Hastert walking through the U.S. Capitol. On the right, MeidasTouch posts, “Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a ‘serial child molester.’ He was a registered sex offender.” The MeidasTouch post includes an image of Hastert speaking from the House floor with a C-SPAN chyron identifying him as Speaker of the House.

I just googled him to check his age and I love that he wasn't one of the top 3 John Kennedys. He was beat out by the former president, that president's son, and John Kennedy Toole (whom I never heard of). 😂

I got a text from Clarabot at my doctor's office casually letting me know that I needed to send them $30. No doctor or date reference. No specific procedure noted. Just a message like my college aged sons were hitting me up for pizza money. I had to call billing to sort it out. 30 min on hold. 😡

If the polls say it's a close race, assume we're losing. Go vote. If it's a tie, go vote. Of the polls say we're up, assume we're not. Go vote. And in each case, take a friend or neighbor to vote also. It will take every single one of us.

My 24 yo came home from work and said he thinks there's a recession coming based on how his company is changing their product ordering numbers. I said I think we're already there, but no one's telling us. I don't think AI profits are enough to *really* matter irl.

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

I hate the fact that we are in the Zohran echo chamber, and Mayors like Brandon Scott are ignored. Baltimore might not be NYC, but that man is putting size 12 foot in the asses of crime and potholes, while improving Baltimore. Black Man Excellence.

Jon Husted, Name ONE man in Ohio playing women sports. Now, explain how the higher prices are not your problem when you're the one in office, NOT Sherrod Brown. Lastly, do you remember HB6 now? We still haven't; we're paying for it. That's entirely on you from your statehouse days.

The Trump administration has delayed a final decision on Endangered Species Act protections for monarch butterflies, with a new deadline of June 6, 2030. Monarchs remain without protections while the decision is pending. The agency could act sooner, but this agreement allows years more of waiting. 😔

Hey, Ohioans! Since our state legislature just suspended the state gas tax for 90 days, if you're like us and own hybrids or you own an EV, be sure to write or call your state legislators to ask for your refund on the extra $100 for hybrids and $200 for EVs that we pay to renew our license plates.

That's great, but I hope you also come around to ensuring the safety of trans youth and adults. The attacks on trans people, mostly by Republicans are appalling. It's doubly appalling the Democrats I support are seeming fine with these attacks.
