We're so much more than the one dimensional villains you see in propaganda. Like many of my favorite Muslims, this hero was inspired by the Quran and Grey's Anatomy. 🤩❤️‍🩹 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

One of the things that continually floors me is how many schools—across the country—refuse FREELY OFFERED air filters even when the science is clear that they help cut down on all airborne infections.

I witnessed a kid scrolling reels during a hayride tonight. The whole ride, eyes glued to the phone. I just...can't.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Disability can happen to anyone at any time. It’s not due to deconditioning or a moral failing. Many chronic illnesses are the result of a viral infection from which the body never recovers. We need more awareness, treatments & clean air to reduce viral spread. www.bbc.com/sport/athlet...

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
