If there is one thing that enables you to get up every day - deal with shit, love who you love…. It’s hope. If you don’t hold it, however much of it is in you…everything ends.
Hope is what keeps us going. Even a small bit of it.
Have a brave day.
And allow your hope to live.

Before the rollout of the polio vaccine in the 1950s, the disease paralyzed or killed more than 500,000 people worldwide every year.
The darker chapters of public health history do not seem to faze anti-vaccine activists, who are now downplaying polio.

Recap: The Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal under the promise that the US would defend it.
Russia invades, murdering women and children.
Trump’s solution: Just give Russia whatever it wants.
It’s not unreasonable to wonder how much money trump is set to make on the backend of this “deal.”

When Border Patrol showed up across Charlotte, parents and neighbors rushed to Berryhill to meet kids at the bus stop. They stood watch, linked arms, and made one thing clear: if the city gets targeted, its children will not face it alone.

The number of unexplained deaths in ICE custody is, under Kristi Noem, roughly 8 times what it was under her predecessor at DHS. Most of these deals demand an investigation.
