Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.

But today, Lumumba covered his mouth and mimed a gun to his head in a powerful protest against the silence surrounding the conflict in eastern DR Congo.
One of the world’s most active crises has displaced thousands, and he used the World Cup stage to make sure people could not look away.
This is what true influence looks like. 🇨🇩👏

Israel now has an official ice cream flavor. 🍦🇮🇱
Milk & Honey is made with milk from Kibbutz Alumim, honey from Kibbutz Yad Mordechai and was created to support communities in southern Israel.
The Land of Milk and Honey just got a little more literal.
What flavor should be next?
listening to the announcers on telemundo speaking entirely in spanish and then breaking it up with “DECLAN RICE!” in a fully american accent sends me every damn time

Apple has closed down the first of its US stores to unionize.
Over half of the 70 unionized workers at the Towson, MD store are losing their jobs.
The union says Apple is retaliating after it only offered transfers to workers at the two nonunion stores it also closed.
