BREAKING: The Supreme Court has rejected President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship in the U.S. by executive order, reaffirming more than a century of legal precedent and national tradition that babies born on American soil are automatically American citizens.

Christians are being massacred in Ethiopia, and most of the world's media couldn't care less.
Churches burned. Families slaughtered. Entire communities displaced.
If this happened to almost any other group, it would dominate headlines for weeks.
Pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters and demand accountability for those responsible.🙏

The hantavirus linked to the cruise ship outbreak is the Andes virus which, is the only type that can spread from person to person. This is rare and typically limited to close, prolonged contact. At this time, there is no indication of wider community spread. https://t.co/hXvFL93phs
Hantaviruses are zoonotic viruses that naturally infect rodents and can occasionally spread to people.
Here’s what you need to know about #hantavirus: What they are, how they spread, the symptoms, and how to prevent infection
Good news, @BrunoMars fans! 👋

South Africans should reflect on this history before targeting Ethiopians. Nelson Mandela trained in Ethiopia and held an Ethiopian passport. Respect starts with awareness. 🇪🇹 🇿🇦

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Flying between African cities forces many travelers to transit outside the continent, through London, Paris or Dubai. But a $12.5 billion airport under construction in Ethiopia could help change that. https://t.co/JhvEkPkWGO
