Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.

During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem β€œI Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment

The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

Line graph titled 'Incident dementia' shows hazard ratio (95% CI) vs. caffeinated coffee intake. The curve starts at 1.0, declines until about 3 c/d intake, then slightly rises. Intake c/d ranges from 0 to >5. No. of cases and person-years are also provided.

A lone seabird stands on a weathered concrete edge near a pier, its dark silhouette clearly defined against a pale sky and calm water, emphasizing form, balance, and stillness.

A lone bird near the pier, stripped down to shape and posture against a simple background. Coastal stillness, held in place for a moment.

If scenes like this slow you down, sharing it helps it travel.

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after β€’ Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.
