ICE murdered Johan Sebastian Guerrero in our backyard. He wasn’t the target of an investigation. He was driving to work. He had a three-year old daughter. ICE shot and killed him. Senator Collins must be held accountable for funding this terror.

At 16, Corion Evans jumped into the Pascagoula River after a car carrying three teenage girls plunged into the water. He rescued all three, then swam back out to save a police officer who was also struggling. In one night, he helped save four lives.

One year ago today, the U.S. killed Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, two Trinidadian men coming home after working on farms in Venezuela to provide for their families. They were both looking forward to being home. But, they never made it because of the Trump administration's illegal boat strikes.

#OTD in 2019, Dr. Esther Duflo was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics (along with two colleagues) for their "experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.” She is the youngest person and the second woman to win the award. #WomenInSTEM #economics

Nobel laureate Dr. Esther Duflo (born 1972) standing outdoors with a confident and serene demeanor. The French-American economist, celebrated for her historic 2019 Nobel Prize win in Economic Sciences for her experimental approach to alleviating global poverty, stands in the foreground just off center to the left. She is composed with her arms folded across her chest, looking directly into the camera with a gentle, assured smile. Her short, dark brown hair is styled in a neat bob that frames her face. She wears a simple, long-sleeved blue tunic shirt featuring an unstructured mandarin collar with subtle grey-and-white striped detailing along the trim. The setting appears to be a courtyard or walkway adjacent to a multi-story red brick building, visible on the left. In the soft-focused background, lush green trees and a dark metal railing line the pathway, casting a natural, warm light over the scene.

Ophthalmologist Dr. Agatha Aboe led the medical campaign in Ghana to eliminate trachoma (leading infectious cause of preventable blindness globally). It worked. Ghana became the 1st country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate the disease, 2018. #WorldSightDay #WomenInSTEM

A low-angle, close-up portrait of renowned Ghanaian ophthalmologist and public health pioneer Dr. Agatha Aboe. Celebrated for leading the historic medical campaign that made Ghana the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate trachoma in 2018, she is captured looking upward and to the left with an optimistic, serene smile. Her black hair is neatly styled with shaved, patterned sides. She wears distinctive semi-translucent, light-blue-framed glasses and bright orange, teardrop-shaped beaded earrings that offer a vibrant color contrast. Her top is a simple, high-collared bright blue shirt. The background features a soft-focus, minimalist golden-yellow architectural column under warm, natural sunlight. The tight composition and uplifting lighting establish an empowering, visionary mood, symbolizing her historical significance as a leading global voice for Women in STEM who now exports eye-health roadmaps to other endemic nations
