Popo is a 5 month old boy who came to us yesterday after being mistreated on the street. He is congenitally blind in 1 eye, very thin and afraid, he's got a long road ahead... but it's a much safer one. Our medicine fund helps us to treat dogs like Popo: 🔗 secure.givelively.org/donate/kabul...

Sorry? Not sorry. If you're upset and trying to prevent history from being taught to hide the truth, then fuck your feelings. You learned nothing and are the exact same assholes as your ancestors.

Here’s the thing. Rula was already very clear about how racist and offensive “monkey” is when used against Black men. She knew exactly what that word meant. She knew exactly why it was unacceptable. Then she used it herself.

Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint. Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why. 🧵 www.theroot.com/opinion-blac...

Wishing Joe Biden peace, comfort, & all the love and care he deserves. 
#Pinks

Former U.S. President Joe Biden was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in May 2025, which had spread to his bones. The disease is in an advanced stage. According to his family and doctors, his treatment and hormone therapy are continuing.
As a Dane, I can say this: the rest of the world sees Biden for who he truly is-a kind and caring human being.
He was a good president.
He is a good human being.
I am deeply sorry for him and his loved ones.

Dr. Patricia Bath overcame sexism, racism & poverty and saved the sight of millions of people. She invented the Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment, 1986; it was patented in 1988. She co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, 1976. She died #OTD in 2019. #WomenInSTEM
A vibrant color historical photograph capturing the brilliant ophthalmologist, inventor, and academic Dr. Patricia Era Bath (1942–2019) in an office or laboratory setting, radiating an aura of confident intelligence and warm approachability. Occupying the center and right of the shot, Dr. Bath sits facing forward, smiling brightly with a direct, engaging gaze at the camera. She is dressed in a professional white medical lab coat—subtly embroidered with "Dr. Bath" in red cursive on the left lapel—worn over a light blue button-down denim shirt and accented by a polished gold chain necklace. Pens are visible tucked into her left coat pocket. Positioned prominently to her right on the left side of the frame is a large, white medical laboratory microscope or ophthalmic imaging equipment with black eye-pieces. The background shows a white wooden bookshelf packed with colorful medical texts, binders, and stacked papers. This portrait carries immense historical significance, honoring a legendary trailblazer in STEM who became the first Black female doctor to patent a medical device—the revolutionary Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment—fundamentally restoring sight to millions worldwide.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
SCOTUS used faulty racial voter turnout data to shred Voting Rights Act in recent ruling
The ruling that upended the Voting Rights Act was based in part on a false data analysis about Black and white voter turnout.
