Burkina Faso orders a Bill Gates Foundation linked mosquito project to leave and ends operations after years of research. 🚫🦟 Burkina Faso’s government has reportedly taken decisive action by shutting down laboratories and halting operations linked to a long running mosquito research initiative. The project, known as Target Malaria, had been active for over a decade and focused on gene edited mosquitoes aimed at reducing hurt transmission. Authorities moved quickly, ordering samples destroyed and activities stopped. The decision has sparked wider discussion about consent, transparency, and the role of international research programs in local communities. While the project had received regulatory approval, the move reflects growing sensitivity around how such initiatives are introduced and communicated. It highlights the importance of public trust when scientific work intersects with everyday life. The project continues in other countries, but this development adds to an ongoing global conversation about biotechnology, ethics, and sovereignty. For many observers, the key issue is not just science, but who gets to decide how and where it is applied. Moments like this often encourage deeper reflection on balancing innovation with public confidence. science globalnews References: BBC News: Burkina Faso halts Target Malaria project raising questions about consent and research ethics.

Know Your Rights Camp..
Harvard University's treatment of researchers investigating its slavery legacy reveals a troubling pattern of suppression, as doctoral intern Christopher Newman was escorted off campus by police and banned simply for suggesting the university examine its ties to Antigua, while researcher Richard Cellini and his entire team were fired after identifying more than 900 enslaved people—with Cellini believing Harvard feared finding "too many slaves." Former researcher Caitlin DeAngelis alleged the Legacy of Slavery Initiative was merely a "PR measure," and Professor Carla Martin dismissed it as "window dressing" that is "more performative than substantive." Harvard's conduct is indefensible, for an institution with a $50 billion endowment to silence scholars, fire researchers, and offer nothing more than discounted business courses to Antiguan descendants is a moral failure that exposes the university's reparations commitments as hollow theater designed to protect its wealth rather than confront its crimes.

Vintage & Iconic African American Everything..
Circa 1935, Mississippi Delta. Three young Black men stand dressed with care — suspenders, wool vests, button-down shirts, pressed pants, and fedora hats. At first glance, you see the style. But the deeper story is survival. During the 1930s, many Black families in the Mississippi Delta were trapped in sharecropping, farm labor, and low-wage work. A dollar or two a day could be the difference between eating, paying a debt, or making it through another week. Life was hard. The work was long. The pay was low. The system was unfair. But look at the pride. Even in poverty, Black people still showed up with dignity. Clothes were pressed. Shoes were polished. Hats were tilted just right. Young men dressed like they understood something the world tried to deny: Circumstances did not define their worth. That’s what makes photos like this powerful. They remind us that our ancestors were not just struggling. They were styling. They were surviving. They were carrying themselves with honor in a country that gave them very little. This wasn’t just fashion. It was self-respect. Drop a 🖤 if you see the dignity in this photo. Join our subscriber group for more Black history, vintage culture, and untold stories — and grab “Mom, I Want To Know Your Story” to preserve the stories in your own family. 1930sHistory BlackFashion Sharecropping

Barack and I were so honored to have create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

Absolutely correct. We aren't pi**ed enough

Is it American exceptionalism that keeps us from demanding change like other nations, or is it an apathy and "reflexive impotence" drilled into our minds by The Spectacle of control?

Courage, ingenuity, imagination and brilliance are human traits with no respect for our arbitrary borders or inventions of race. White Supremacy propagates the myth that whiteness embodies more of life’s gifted and fewer of its foibles. So, I make it my mission to point it out and beat it back, to make it look silly because it is silly. It is duncery pretending to be enlightened.
