A suspected hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean has killed three people and sickened at least three others, the World Health Organization says: https://t.co/osdn2JwsoG
⚠️3 people have died and 149 people are stranded on a cruise ship off the West African island nation of Cape Verde after a suspected hantavirus outbreak onboard.
The virus jumps to humans from rodents like rats and mice and causes severe respiratory illness or kidney disease.
What happened?
Today's Supreme Court decision reverses hard-won progress under the Voting Rights Act.
It means less representation for millions of Black Americans and other voters of color, as lawmakers gain greater ability to manipulate their districts. There will be more extreme partisan gerrymandering, lopsided elections, less accountable government, and policies that hurt rather than help with everyday life.
But this is no time to be demoralized, because we know it does not have to be this way. We can mobilize around reform, new laws, and where necessary, constitutional amendments for fairer government. Only then can we feel the benefits of a balanced Court, a truly representative Congress, and an election system free from the distorting power of extreme corporate and partisan manipulation.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Pam Bondi said the system would collapse if the monsters from Epstein’s island were held accountable.
If truth makes the system implode then the system is rotten to its core and deserves the ashes.
The arrogance is obscene. They believe we are so domesticated and so addicted to comfort that we will tolerate a world built on the blood of children. They think safety is worth silence. They think luxury is worth evil.
I reject that with every ounce of righteous fury in me. Burn the lies with exposure. Flood the darkness with truth. Save the children and let the corrupt scream while their power disintegrates. We can rebuild without their filth.
I will not live in a country where my comfort is financed by the blood of the innocent. If you can then you are not neutral. You are complicit. And history will remember you exactly as you are.
I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world.
The man I supported and helped get elected.
Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type rhetoric being directed at me right now.
This time by the President of the United States.
As a woman I take threats from men seriously.
I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel.
As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump‘s bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone.
My phone is blowing up with constant amazing support. I’m so thankful!
The Political Industrial Complex and the toxic violent nature of American politics must end.
Our country is worth saving and it can only be done if we pull together and save ourselves.
To those attacking #Justice#KetanjiBrownJackson, let’s set the record straight.
Justice Jackson didn’t vote against #SNAP—she issued a temporary stay to let the appeals process work. That’s not defunding, it’s due process. Her move protects long-term benefits by ensuring legal decisions aren’t rushed or reversed. She’s upholding the Constitution, not playing politics. Mic dropped.
“people might be using SNAP to buy steak and lobster”
THE PRESIDENT IS AVOIDING RELEASING FILES THAT WILL MOST LIKELY PROVE THAT HE HAS PURCHASED PEOPLE. CHILDREN.
GOD FORBID A BITCH GET A RIBEYE THO
So after reading why she did what she did, I can tell you she did it for good reason, I can also tell you that this headline is to set up blame on a Black women for simply doing her job the correct way.
BREAKING: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issues an administrative stay in the SNAP benefits case, for the First Circuit to issue its ruling on the stay request (“with dispatch”).
Her administrative stay ends 48 hours after that ruling is issued (or upon further order).
