Stop scrolling my wife is dying in front of my eyes and I cannot stop it.
Her condition is getting worse every day. Her body is collapsing because she has not yet received the urgent blood units and medical treatment she needs to survive.
I saw her lose consciousness after everything our daughter Lama has been going through. One moment she was standing with me and the next she collapsed in my arms. I cannot forget that moment.
I am not asking for comfort. I am telling you that I am losing my wife while I stand completely helpless beside her.
Every hour without treatment is bringing her closer to death. I can see it happening and I cannot stop it alone.
Please do not scroll past this. Do not wait until it becomes a message of loss.
She urgently needs treatment, blood units, and medical care right now.
Help us before it is too late. Your donation and share might be the reason she survives.

wish white ppl knew that they don’t have homegirls, homeboys, government names. that yall don’t have the right to call anyone pookie, that yall don’t “be doing” nothing, you not finna do shit, that you don’t know the meaning of “thick/thicc,” or even fucking “slim thick/thicc,” that yall ain’t “brothers in Christ” because that is a such an incredibly obvious stand in for nigga. wish yall knew yall can’t call everyone fucking older than them Unc or Auntie (what the fuck is wrong with you). wish yall knew that the name Karen is not about being a mean woman, it’s about white womanhood’s propensity to getting us fucking killed or harmed because of their dislike for us. wish yall would stop using our words to the point of semantic bleaching/dilution because im tired of my words becoming something they are not.
all of this shit is obvious AAVE or Black cultural phrasing/phenomena that all have very specific histories and understandings in the Black American community. i think yall know that but you people have had your heads rotted to the core by exposure to the worlds largest minstrel show, also known as the internet.
A group of talented teenagers from South Sudan proved that age is no limit when it comes to changing the world. Led by Adau Deng Kuol and James Madut, they created the Ramceil Botics robot, an invention designed to help remove plastic waste from rivers and waterways.
Their innovation earned them a spot at the First Global Challenge in Dubai, where they competed against 1,500 students from 191 countries. The team's mission was bigger than winning—it was about finding real solutions to one of the world's biggest environmental problems.
By using science, technology, and teamwork, these young innovators showed how powerful ideas can come from anywhere. Their success is a reminder that the next generation isn't waiting for change—they're building it themselves.
The shooting occurred Sunday afternoon outside a Walmart in Senatobia, according to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.
literally yesterday. all because someone called the police about DIAPERS being shoplifted.
Black children deserve to live and be safe around ALL people, around the world but something so simple is routinely denied to us on the daily by people more concerned with making sure their group doesn’t become the next underclass in which the entire modern world operates on its dehumanization.
im so sorry to this baby, their family, and every Black family dealing with the horrors of antiblackness, having our freedom or lives stolen from us every day.
meanwhile, LAPD shot and killed a Black woman’s dog after being called by her neighbor for being “too loud” during the Knick’s game, one of the biggest basketball event in years.
i seen more comments by nonblack ppl showing sympathy for the dog than the Black woman in the video literally hugging her beloved pet’s dead body in tears while a mob of LAPD officers stand around and watch her dispassionately.
what the fuck.
There is no world in which the violence perpetrated by the Sentatobia police is justified, least of all for the alleged theft of diapers.
Let’s be clear. In response to a young family’s desire to keep their son safe, clean, and healthy, the police wantonly fired into an allegedly fleeing vehicle. But the Senatobia police responded with the same excessive violence that the police deal out to all working people - violence intended not to protect our communities, but the financial interests of the few.
In the SAME week that we saw the first trillionaire, a young Black baby was murdered over a pack of pampers. Its horrific.
The latest post by the city of Senatobia briefly acknowledges the loss of a child (NOT EVEN NAMING KOHEN) before they launch into asking us to please won’t you keep the mental health of the poor cops in mind. Reprehensible.
Today there was a rally at a city council meeting. Outraged citizens of Mississippi rallying to demand an external investigation and the release of body cam footage. How did the city respond?
Four. Snipers. Posted. With. Weapons. Trained. On. Protesters.
me and all my friends say FUCK france...
The Trump administration is spending more than $100 million to fight the "emergency" of "white genocide" in South Africa.
Every single one of the 599 refugees the US admitted last month was a white South African, according to data the State Department’s Bureau of Population released Friday.
In fact, so was every other refugee admitted this year. Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.
