Jeremiyah Love went No. 3 overall in the NFL Draft. His family has spoken publicly about autism-related traits they noticed when he was younger and how support mattered more than forcing him to fit somebody else’s mold. Support changes outcomes. St. Louis stand up.
Measles elimination meant the virus stopped spreading widely, not that it disappeared. Outbreaks like this happen when protection weakens. This is a reminder of how public health works and why prevention matters.
Birth trauma is real, and our community sees it too often. Do not labor alone. Know your hospital. Speak up early. Partners advocate. Recording can protect you. Mental health after childbirth matters. #MinorityHealthPartners
As the season ends, it’s worth asking who gets included—and who doesn’t. Kevin Ortiz traveled to all 32 NFL stadiums in a wheelchair to show how access, dignity, and mental health are deeply connected. Design choices matter. Inclusion matters.
Before you call something a breakthrough, ask: What phase is the trial in? Phase 1 = safety Phase 2 = does it seem to work? Phase 3 = bigger comparison Phase 4 = after approval That’s the basic NIH framework. Early trial is worth watching, not overhyping.

Have you ever heard of a “mother wound” before? We often focus on what adults are running to, but not enough on what they may be running from. Sometimes you’re talking to an adult. Sometimes you’re also speaking to the hurt child underneath. What did you think about the video?
Homer G. Phillips was not a doctor. He was a lawyer and community leader who fought for Black people in St. Louis to have a real hospital, and the institution that carried his name helped change Black medicine in America. Longer version coming soon.
A lot of adults grew up with autism traits that were missed, misunderstood, or explained away. Autism is not new. What’s newer is people finally having language for what was missed. How many adults were never difficult at all, just misunderstood?
Since it’s Women’s History Month, this story hits harder. Reuters and AP report that Dolores Huerta said she stayed silent for decades because she believed telling the truth would hurt the movement she helped build with César Chávez.  How many women have done that in silence?
My heart is broken.😭💔 This RACIST SCUMBAG lives in Kelowna, British Columbia, and Tizzy wants to know who he is (and so do I). What he did to these poor people is a HATE CRIME in Canada, and he better not get away with it, the ANIMAL needs to be shunned, shamed, and prosecuted. Please repost.

Ukraine's 34th Brigade hit a Russian drone operator post in Oleshky with an FPV swarm, killing 15 occupiers. The strike caught troops mid-resupply. The building burned down, some died from shrapnel, others suffocated inside.

Your vote hits different in a primary. 🗳️💥 200,000 show up in November. Maybe. But only 40,000 decide who makes it there. Grab 100 friends. Grab 500. The primary is where your vote has outsized impact. Low turnout = high leverage. Stop waiting for the general. Start swinging the election now.

Serenget arrived with a bullet wound and a prognosis nobody wanted. Prescribed bed rest, she hid in the corner of her stockade at first. Then — slowly — a step forward. An extended trunk. And soon, everyone was finding a reason to linger at her gate. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/sere...
