You know…. If those baseball players ALWAYS put Bible verses on their hats, nobody would blink an eye. Them only doing it during Pride Night is performative as fuck. Lmao. Do it for all 162 games if you REALLY believe in your religion.

My latest. “Our goal is to fight the disparities within swim[ming] just based on the history of African Americans not knowing how to swim, not being exposed to the water, and our history of water being used to discriminate against us, to abuse us,”

It's concerning to see patients in states with abortion bans being offered less effective miscarriage management. When clinicians are unable to provide evidence-based care, we see patients face delays, denials, and worsened health outcomes. medpagetoday.com/obgyn/gener…

Several Giants players wrote Bible verses on their caps to respond to Pride Night.
The gesture echoed a familiar pattern: making a night meant for inclusion about something else entirely.

You don’t get to criticize the hair, skin color, and legitimacy of Harry and Meghan’s children, and then act like you care about protecting children.

A German court has ruled that Google is liable for the false statements generated by its AI Overviews feature. The ruling could have massive impacts on the world's biggest search engine, which recently doubled down on giving users AI-generated results.

"Stare at a wall" is so apt bc there is literally nothing for kids to do here anymore. Parks are for young children, so teens get chased out, everything is super expensive so you can't go on a day out, and there's precious little nature left to explore.
Thats all you can do.

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence.
In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

Rest in power to George Junius Stinney, Jr
Jun 14
On this date June 16 in 1944, at age 14, George Junius Stinney, Jr. became the youngest person executed in the United States in the 20th century.
Stinney was convicted in a one-day trial by an all-white jury of murdering two white girls after a rushed investigation and disputed confession with no physical evidence presented.
His conviction was vacated in 2014 after a judge ruled the original proceedings unfair, highlighting racial injustice under Jim Crow laws. #OTD
