A peer-reviewed study found Black patients matched with Black doctors were 27% less likely to die in the hospital. A separate study found Black residents live longer in counties with more Black primary care physicians. “Find A Black Doctor” exists because the disparities are real

This all occurred because enough of us couldn't give Carter another term; I was too young to have an impact, but my parents' never bought Reagan's act.

“The truth is that the hard-fought victories of the Civil Rights Movement caused a reaction that stripped Brown of its power, severed the jugular of the Voting Rights Act, closed off access to higher education, poured crack cocaine into the inner cities, and locked up more black men proportionally than even apartheid-era South Africa.” ― Carol Anderson

James and William of Orange were the last two kings to meet in battle -- Battle of the Boyne -- 1690. It's a great historical site, and is endemic to Irish History from Henry VIII to 1921.

Q: Rural hospitals in Wisconsin are struggling. Closures are creating healthcare deserts. What can be done federally to keep hospitals open?

JD VANCE: Unfortunately, this, like so much of what's going on in the country right now, is a problem we inherited from the previous administration

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: https://t.co/dNBRWAiv0b

🇮🇱On Israeli national TV, a jewish Journalist says:

“Everyone in Gaza must die. They should all be left to starve to death, even children. I don’t care”

Student to J.D. Vance: When did you decide there were “too many immigrants,” and why sell us a dream? We spent our youth here..., paid what you asked, followed your path. How can you say we don’t belong... and remove people here rightfully? (October 2025)

[Michael Eaves @michaeleaves]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sold his 4 championship rings, 3 MVP trophies, and other memorabilia for $2.8 million, donating every penny to youth education programs.
