1473 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 913 days since they banned women from university. Afghan women and girls remain under the most extreme gender-based restrictions in the world denied education, work, and freedom. 📷—Ghairt Baheer #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

Jesse Marsch issues a message to U.S. President Donald Trump 🎙️ "Lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being the 51st state; as an American, I'm ashamed of the arrogance and disregard we've shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies." #USMNT | #CanMNT

Neck manipulations have some very rare but very serious risks!!! The very small very short lasting effects on pain are just not worth it! 😞
In 2022, Caitlin Jensen visited a Georgia chiropractor for a neck adjustment and was left with life-changing injuries. Shortly after the procedure, she became ill and was rushed to the ER, where tests revealed four dissected arteries in her neck. This led to cardiac arrest, a stroke, and a loss of pulse for over 10 minutes before she was revived. She survived but can no longer speak and has limited movement.
