Authorities say 13‑year‑old Daryl Martinez Lowry, a Black foster child, was involved in a physical altercation with two older foster teens at a private dock on Clarks Hill Lake in Modoc, South Carolina. According to the affidavit, Daryl suffered knife wounds before both teens allegedly held him underwater until he died.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division has charged 17‑year‑old white foster teen housemate Landen Austin Moore with murder, and a 16‑year‑old co‑resident is being held in juvenile custody as the investigation continues.

This case raises urgent questions about how Black children in foster care are placed, supervised, and protected when the state assumes responsibility for their safety.

“…rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.”

Saturday’s #MandelaDay is an opportunity to honour Madiba's lifelong commitment to freedom, justice and equality.

Each of us can learn from and be inspired by Nelson Mandela’s legacy, and take action to achieve a better future for all.

All unaccompanied immigrant children in the United States who are pregnant, many by rape, are being moved by the Trump administration to a single facility in Texas in order to avoid providing abortion services -- a significant human rights violation. https://t.co/jrPmIUCTTZ

"Sure, Lee Oldham told me, he had spread radioactive fracking waste on Texas farmland. But in his defense, he never in a million years thought anyone would put a school there."

20-60 million tons of fracking waste were dumped in and around DFW

9-year-old Maria Antonia was detained on her way to Disney World.

What was supposed to be a 10-day dream vacation turned into a 100-day nightmare at Dilley.

“When I arrived every night I cried. … I felt that being here was my fault,” she wrote.

Over 10 million Sudanese children are out of school & it’s projected that 5 million may never return. This is what war steals first, children’s futures.

Projects like this are how we fight back!!

An anti-CRT movement targeted an accomplished educator — driving her out of two Georgia school districts. The mission began inside a golf community clubhouse on a Sunday afternoon, where parents were coached on how to land a Fox News appearance.

Ever wonder what happens in the aftermath of a supernova?

Means a lot to see new Black cartoons like this because that representation was so affirming to me as a kid. S/O to PBS Kids still holding it down.

Sunday is World Meditation Day.

Meditation can support mental and physical well-being, especially during times of stress.

See how mediation can also help foster empathy and promote a sense of shared purpose.
