Her name is Hind Rajab. She was a five-year-old Palestinian girl remembered by family members as smart, courageous, and full of life.

Hind was shot at 335 times and killed by Israeli military forces. The world will never forget the heartbreaking recordings of her final hours pleading for rescue from a car trapped under fire in Gaza City.

This little girl deserved a future where she could grow up, play, and go to school safely. Instead, her story has become a tragic symbol of the devastating toll genocide takes on innocent children.

Today, her mother campaigns globally to keep her daughter's memory alive and demands independent international accountability for the tragedy.

Never forget her name. Justice for Hind Rajab and every innocent child.

This story must remain in the headlines until we find out what actually happened. A healthy dose of skepticism is warranted at this point.

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

There is a particular poignancy to this moment. As our nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we are also invited to reflect more deeply on the many histories that shaped America; those celebrated and those too often left untold. The aspirations articulated in 1776 cannot be fully understood without acknowledging the centuries of Indigenous stewardship that preceded them, the arrival of enslaved Africans in 1619, and the countless communities whose labor, sacrifice, creativity, and resilience have continually expanded the meaning of freedom and democracy.

Sixty-three years ago today, Medgar Evers returned home to his family only to be met with an assassin's bullet before he could even reach his front door.

The 37-year old father of three, husband, and NAACP leader's life and voice were stolen from us in a senseless act of racial violence.

Today, we honor his courage, his sacrifice, and his unwavering dedication to the fight for justice, equity, and voting rights.

His legacy lives on in each of us. May the movement continue to move forward in his memory.

SOUND UP!! Trump fans called Biden Sleepy Joe for years

Now I need MAGA to explain this video with a straight face. 💯

Whatever you do, DO NOT share this.

Would be a shame if Sleepy Don went viral. 🤣

Made it my life’s mission to become the Taliban’s worst nightmare:

A highly educated Afghan woman.

First, Columbia University at the top of my class, and now Oxford University.

Give Afghan girls one chance and see what they can achieve.

65 years ago yesterday my dad was part of a group of heroes arrested in Jackson, MS while participating in the Freedom Rides. This is what it takes. This is what it’s always taken.

He was 20 years old.

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:

“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’

I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.

Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.

"I've found peace in talking about my wife as opposed to talking about the struggle that she endured for two years."

Michael Smith shared a powerful remembrance of his wife, Sarah, who passed away after a brave battle with glioblastoma.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

Zohran Mamdani quoted Tupac Shakur when asked if he opposes the war in Iran:

"This war killed thousands of civilians, so yes, I strongly oppose it— Tupac said it decades ago, we always seem to have money for war but never to feed the poor."

[David Dennis Jr. @DavidDTSS]

I wrote a plea. Black women are being killed by Black men at alarming, epidemic rates.

We have to stop this. Us. Black men. We have to.

Israel killed Farizal in South Lebanon.

He wasn’t a fighter — he was a UN PEACEKEEPER from Indonesia.

A father. A husband.

Israel killed him anyway.

And not a peep from Western media.

No global outrage. No condemnation. No accountability.

Meet one of my favorite students: Kiarra (aka Kiwi)

As kind as she is talented. She was paralyzed as a passenger in a car accident. But the life-altering trauma didn’t take her spirit.

Please show her some love. I’ll share your replies with her.
