High school strip search 7 Black teenage boys—over suspected vapes.
"They were made to bend over, squat down,and show their genitals," said mom.
Even though school had a vape detecting wand—so invasive search was never needed.
After all that—no contraband was found of any kind with each of the 7 students.
"These children were too embarrassed at first to tell the full truth because the details were too painful... it left our children emotionally traumatized."
Families announced a federal lawsuit against Attala County School District on July 1, 2026.
Incident occurred at McAdams High School in Attala County, Mississippi—about 60 miles northeast of Jackson.
Americans explain their party identification & their animosity toward the other party mostly by invoking policy, values, & ideology, rather than disdain, socialization, specific actors, or performance, & did so more than scholars of partisanship expected https://t.co/XwY5iRQoWf
Is the "vibecession" driven by differential survey response? My AmeriSpeak panel data lets us trace how the same people perceive the economy.
In spring '26, Republicans were less bullish on the economy than Dems were in fall '26. Indys, Dems also less bullish than they were.
Exactly one month ago today, we rescued little Zuri from a septic tank. While she’s settled marvellously into Nursery life, she’s still quite feisty and prone to overreacting. Nannies like Muridjo (seen here) have been a wonderful balm, helping Zuri calm down when she gets in a bit of a tizzy. See her work her magic here!
If haven’t yet met Zuri, read her rescue story – and perhaps become part of her journey through an adoption: https://t.co/RBNyett5B7
Korbessa was once one of the tiny trunks. How times have changed.
We rescued Korbessa from a well in Meru National Park in August 2023. KWS rangers found her at first light, alone at the bottom. She was so exhausted the vet teams gave her fluids, glucose, and water at the scene, and she slept on a mattress while teams tried to find her herd.
When she arrived at our Kaluku Neonate Unit, she became a coveted baby of the herd. Two years on, Korbessa is now Kaluku's mini-matriarch – on the young side for the role, as the Keepers say, but she "unequivocally runs the show." Tiny Wangalla here is the new baby, and so the circle continues.

Raising newborn orphaned elephants like Wangalla is not for the faint hearted.
Our Keepers are highly attuned to the slightest shift in weight, behaviour, appetite, sleeping patterns, or stool — and equally important, to the intangible signs that indicate what might be going on within. They require constant supervision. We record every stool, measure out every milk feed, track weight gain or loss, take photos to monitor daily progress.
Thanks to this level of dedication, Wangalla has come through the most difficult side of the recovery period. But she still has a long journey ahead of her before she is ready to return to the wild. One you can support through an adoption: https://t.co/loS0hJV6JZ
When an elephant calf loses its mother, it loses everything – its family, food, protection, an entire support system.
That’s where our Keepers step in: they gently rub moisturising coconut oil onto their delicate skin and scoop handfuls of mud and dust on their bodies. They even sleep with them at night, providing comfort just as their mothers would in the wild. For Wangalla, it's made the difference between life and death.
Adoptions help fund every minute of this dedicated care. Adopt Wangalla today: https://t.co/loS0hJV6JZ
One month after her rescue, Zuri is firmly part of the family.
When she wakes up each morning, Wamata knocks on her stable door. By the time the Keepers let her out, a queue of older girls has formed, waiting to take her out to the forest each morning. This show of love has been pivotal to Zuri's recovery: orphans rescued from wells or pits often have long grieving periods, and the acceptance from the herd from the get-go has helped lessen the psychological blow she suffered at such a young age.
Zuri is an abandoned elephant calf who we rescued from a septic tank. Adopting Zuri helps fund her milk, her Keepers, and her journey back to the wild: https://t.co/RBNyett5B7
Had been waiting for @Gallup annual look at patriotism. This chart is just those 'extremely' proud to be an American (top of the scale). But even including the 'very' proud, it's just 27% of Democrats vs 93% of Republicans.

Today, we have some significant and, at least to my mind, fun new methodological changes to the NYT/Siena poll (which found Platner+2)
