This SUCKS. This child's death was most likely preventable had they been vaccinated. Please get vaccinated and make sure your kids 1 year and older are vaccinated. Measles is NOT just a rash it can be fatal.

Actually, a measles outbreak IS an unusual occurrence. Especially in a country like the US, which had eliminated the disease thanks to vaccination until recently. It's so unusual that most physicians in the U.S. have NEVER seen a case! www.nbcnews.com/now/video/-i...

1. I'm seeing a lot of criticism about the called for boycott on February 28....the typical "it's not going to do anything." And to this, i say to you: This is where Rosa Parks' actions become misconstrued and inaccurately told. We praise the Montgomery Bus Boycott as the triumph it was, but...

The Washington Post's billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, announced a sweeping new libertarian vision for the paper's opinion sections on Wednesday, leading editor to quit. NPR spoke to half a dozen people involved. www.npr.org/2025/02/26/n...

Bro I wanted to BE Harriet the Spy! All those tomato sandwiches I hated but ate anyway. Wanting Rosie O’Donnell to be my babysitter. KEEPING A JOURNAL FULL OF OTHER PEOPLE’S SECRETS. She should’ve gotten more time!

Luigi sends a message reminding people that that every photo sent to him is being screened and reviewed by law enforcement 👀

A new $15 million jazz fellowship is granting 50 artists over the age of 62 a $100,000 grant, professional support and performance opportunities

I heard someone say, if we hired purely on merit, Black women would run everything.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Class action their asses!

Today in Black History: On Feb. 12, 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was formed by a group of black leaders, including W. E. B. DuBois and Ida B. Wells. A brutal race massacre in Springfield, IL, in Aug. 1908, led to the formation of the group. #BlackHistoryMonth

As Kendrick said: F-ck everybody, that's on my body.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies. She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas. Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia. I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

Those women athletes that cried against trans athletes thought they were gonna sign a deal with the devil and not give up something? lol oh.

Well this is cool, I get Rep. Eleanor Norton's newsletter, & she's working to get the r word out of DC administrative codes. @knilirabaj.bsky.social norton.house.gov/media/press-...

clownery

Saying "40 Acres and a Mule" in front of a racist president is revolutionary. It's a reminder that Black Americans have never forgotten the promises made and broken by the federal government. This debt must be paid.

Yeah I knew this was coming. They can’t survive without fed money. People don’t donate. People don’t care. So they will be erasing history to survive

A virus does not differentiate between parents who are anti-vaxxers and parents who just didn't get around to it. Make an appointment, it's still flu season.
