Still thinking about this young hero.
Not just the physical challenges to swim for hours to find help, but the psychological fear to having left your family behind in open waters and carrying the weight of being their only hope of survival.
This really deserves a lot of recognition.

This hour long BBC documentary last was heart breaking. I was in tears watching the horror that is Coltan mining in the DRC. I highly recommend watching. I try to do my part by not buying new electronics unless absolutely necessary and I know it's not nearly enough.

Every day miners in the DRC working under unsafe conditions with no protective gear, die so that we can have new electronic devices. A cruelty we all participate in willingly or not. It feels so hopeless 😔. How does one stop the cruel exploitation.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The top cause of death among American kids is guns
Yet in RFK Jr’s first MAHA report, coauthored by Drs Bhattacharya & Makary, entitled “Make Our Children Healthy Again,” there is no mention of guns

I was just supposed to follow clergy leaders as they did a pilgrimage from George Floyd Square to Renée Good’s memorial.
But then when we got back to the landing spot, we found out an observer had been attacked by ICE agents who had been tailing the religious leaders.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

NIH is losing so may good people. First they were fired or RIFd or pressured to retire early.
Now they are leaving because “no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity.”
Proud to know these brave scientists!

The NIH has lost its scientific integrity. So we left

Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.
