@chefjoelb@malcolmkenyatta@mamahasaheadac1 Perhaps NOW the Democrats will start running bostons if they ever get in power again. All that white gloves & manners' behavior mentality from Democrats should finally be put to rest. We've been having a front row seat watching the Republicans rob and destroy THE WORLD.
A 17-year-old turned to beetroot juice to tackle a problem the medical world has struggled with for years: detecting infections in wounds without costly technology.
In 2021, Iowa high school student Dasia Taylor created surgical stitches that change color when a wound becomes infected. By coating thread with beetroot extract, a natural pH indicator, the sutures shift from bright red to dark purple as bacteria raise the wound’s pH levels. She designed the innovation to be low-cost and accessible for hospitals in developing countries that lack advanced monitoring tools. Taylor was named a Top 40 finalist in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, received the Seaborg Award, and has since filed for a patent.
The head of Europe’s central bank just said financial markets don’t understand what they’re in for.
This is Christine Lagarde saying the damage is already done. Most people have absolutely no idea. Here is what she actually said.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. That chokepoint carries 20% of the world’s oil and gas. Markets shrugged. Investors assumed it would blow over. Lagarde told The Economist that technical experts are not talking about months for recovery. They are talking about years.
Helium travels through the Strait of Hormuz. Helium is not a balloon gas. It is the invisible ingredient inside every advanced microchip on earth. Qatar supplies 35% of the world’s commercial helium. Qatar’s facilities have gone dark. Spot prices have surged past $450 per thousand cubic feet. Most chip fabricators carry less than three months of inventory. The world is building AI data centers at record speed. The raw material that makes the chips possible is now scarce.
Meanwhile Brent crude has hit $99. Earlier spikes passed $120. US gasoline is up 30%. Iraq cut 1.5 million barrels a day. Saudi Arabia paused its largest refinery. Europe is heading into this with gas storage at 30% capacity.
And the ECB is not cutting rates to soften the blow. It is considering hiking them to fight inflation.
Slow economy. Rising prices. Tighter money. All at once.

Congratulations to Juliana Stratton on her primary victory.
This moment is bigger than one race — it’s about the continued expansion of Black women’s leadership at the highest levels.
We don’t wait for history. We build it.

Barber-Scotia College was the first higher education institution for Black women in this country. Today it is fighting to survive. The 144K Collective is asking 144,000 people to donate just $1.44 to help save this historic institution. Our HBCUs are not just schools. They are the foundation of our history, our culture, and our future.
