Me biking to effing cancer treatment where there is a safe path for most of the way but that one block stretch with nothing but too many semis & cars with pissed off drivers😩 There is a VA hospital, Loyola Medical Center, Ronald McDonald House, a CTA/Pace bus stop & ZERO path or even a sidewalk

Was in Atlanta for a metastatic breast cancer summit and squeezed in a visit to High Museum during final days of the wonderful Amy Sherald exhibit

All three images are by Amy Sherald, maybe most known for her portrait of Michelle Obama. Here, the first is of a man on a tractor; the middle is of a girl, titled Freeing Herself Was One Thing…”; the third is of a woman wearing a sweater with a row of shoes pictured on it titled “To Tell Her Story You Must Walk in Her Shoes”

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

There are incredible new cancer drugs every year that are showing promise at defeating cancers that were previously guaranteed death sentences — and the Trump administration is doing everything it can to illegally kill the grants that fund the research. MAHA indeed!

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Because the service had been arranged last minute, the funeral home on a busy street in Atlanta could only offer them one hour.
Orlin wore a long-sleeved shirt and a tan vest with a striped bow tie and matching pants.
The clothes concealed his injuries. A new teddy bear was tucked beside him.
Embroidered into the satin lining of his casket was "Principito," or "Little Prince."
His full name was embossed on the coffin:
Orlin Josue Hernandez Reyes.
McCaffrey and Hernandez's sister had to hold Hernandez up as she walked trembling toward her son. Once she regained the strength to stand, she stood over him and stroked his face and chest.
"I never wanted to leave you," she whispered repeatedly. "I wanted to bring you with me.
My son."

I suppose if the question is "Should x group be allowed to have rights?" And the left simply yes and the right debates whether x group should be allowed rights, or second class rights, or sent to work camps, or outright killed, then yes the right has more data points and "diversity of thought"
