"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."

1/5
Halima, an Afghan mother, died of hemorrhage when blood was unavailable.
Mohammed, an Afghan child, died because the hospital oxygen system failed
Sharifa died and her baby died in her womb en route after her nearest maternity center shut down. (all names changed)
Today, @RefugeesIntl published my 6-month long investigation, “No One Died?” as a response to Rubio's claim saying no deaths happened because of U.S. aid cuts.

Vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives since 1974 — not by accident, but because ordinary people made the decision to protect themselves, their children and one another.

That’s 6 lives every minute, every day, for more than 5 decades. #VaccinesWork

Your decision makes a difference. Get vaccinated.

America has become the longest-lasting democracy in history in large part thanks to generations of immigrants who have brought their talents, hard work, and dreams to our country. I was honored to welcome Pedro, who will help us write the next chapter of our American story.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I would read letters like Emily’s every night in the White House. They were powerful reminders of why the work we did mattered, and who we were fighting for.

When folks visit the Obama Presidential Center, my hope is that they see their stories reflected in the exhibits, and leave inspired to change their own neighborhoods.

The ramp up of cancer immunotherapy is remarkable. Now we're seeing vaccines achieve some cures or remissions in the most refractory cancers: pancreatic, melanoma, glioblastoma, renal, triple-negative breast cancer.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men.

So when we started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, we wondered how often it was happening.

While he was detained at Dilley for over four months, 13-year-old Gustavo Santiago said he felt as if he would “never get out.”

“I just ask that you don’t forget about us,” he told ProPublica in a video call.

I decided to write about at each of the 32 states with supreme court elections this year.

On abortion, redistricting, death penalty, & more, these institutions & their elections remain so critical.

Pope Leo's Easter message:

"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

The triage center at my Manhattan office provides crucial, time-sensitive legal services to New Yorkers caught in Trump’s immigration dragnet.

I’m so proud of the work we do, and will continue to do, for our immigrant friends and neighbors all over New York City.

This article does a good job of explaining the tremendous impact of Bill’s post-presidency work (and why I’m so proud of him). https://t.co/AEYFZao5ap

Anthropic has rejected demands from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling for full lawful use of its AI technology. CEO Dario Amodei says that AI is important to military defense, but there must be safeguards against use for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. The Pentagon said it will not let “any company dictate the terms.”

60 Minutes spoke with Dario and Anthropic President Daniela Amodei in November, and this is how they described the importance of “bumpers and guardrails” to manage the risk of AI.

Immigrants work in crucial jobs across the American economy — they grow our food, take care of our elderly, build our homes, and tend to our sick.

Epidemics don’t recognize national borders. In 1829 cholera began on the Ganges traveled west entered North America through Quebec, NYC, New Orleans, Tampico. In 1918 we gave H1N1 flu to the world after it began in Kansas, traveled with U.S. troops in WWI. Now our nation’s biosecurity is gone

The gentleman who ICE hauled without cause out of his home in his underwear into the icy Minnesota winter (after terrifying his 5-year-old grandson) was from Laos, one of the Hmong hill tribes people of the then-Kingdom of Laos.

Pope Leo to media: “I encourage you to be sowers of good words, amplifiers of voices that courageously seek reconciliation by disarming hearts of hatred and fanaticism…In a fragmented and polarized world, be the antennae that pick up and relay what the weak, marginalized, lonely, and those who need to know the joy of feeling loved, are experiencing.” https://t.co/Wpspp9zY2n
