‘In Amarillo, Black Women Die:’ The Unresolved Murder of Felita Bailey
The initial suspect, a white man in his early 20s, has been “eliminated” as a suspect. The family is accusing law enforcement of a coverup.
Felita Bailey went out with her cousins in Amarillo on the Friday of Labor Day weekend. By sunrise, she was dead.
Police arrested a white man in his early 20s, then dropped the charges days later—infuriating Felita’s family. In March, a new suspect was arrested.

US at tipping point for return of endemic measles
The United States is at a tipping point for the return of endemic measles a quarter century after the disease was declared eradicated in the country, researchers warned on Thursday.
“So far this year, measles cases are up 180% over full-year 2024 … With vaccination rates dropping for MMR shots as well as for other childhood vaccines, outbreaks of preventable infectious diseases are increasing.”
for the love of god yall get your vaccines — and that means your kids too

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Women who are child free have a lot of folks in a chokehold. It’s so strange to see men crash out when child free women celebrate having no kids. Why so bothered? #childfree #blacksky

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR.
This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there.
If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.
Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.
