3 Big Risk Factors for Dementia to Avoid
Diabetes, alcohol consumption (measured by frequency) and exposure to air pollution are the most harmful modifiable risk factors for dementia out of 15 that were studied in a recent report published in the journal Nature Communications.

A team of researchers examined brain scans of nearly 40,000 UK Biobank participants and found that parts of the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, that are more prone to earlier and accelerated aging were most affected by these three factors.

Yesterday, we honored Juneteenth—commemorating the end of slavery in the United States and celebrating the enduring strength, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans.

As storytellers and record-keepers, we recognize the power of remembering.

Freedom delayed is not freedom denied—and Juneteenth reminds us that every voice, every story, and every step toward justice matters.

May we honor the sacrifices of our ancestors by standing united and continuing the work to preserve the freedoms they secured—for us and for those who will follow. 🖤💚❤️

We Remember. We Honor. We Carry the Legacy.

Today, we honor the brave souls—many of them Black, Brown, and Indigenous—who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we might live in freedom and strive toward justice.

From the Buffalo Soldiers to the Tuskegee Airmen, from the 54th Massachusetts Infantry to the countless unnamed heroes in every war—our communities have always shown up for a country that didn’t always show up for us.

Their sacrifice is not forgotten. Their courage is not overlooked. We honor them by continuing the fight for equity, justice, and liberation—for all.

Rev. William Barber II, a North Carolina-based pastor and prominent national anti-poverty advocate, was taken into custody alongside two fellow clergy members on Monday while praying at the U.S. Capitol in Washington. The three were part of a group of 20 to 30 individuals who had proceeded to the Capitol following a larger “Moral Mondays” rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court building. Organizers state that the gatherings are in opposition to cuts that have been made or proposed in the federal budget, which are deemed immoral as they disproportionately affect impoverished and vulnerable populations.

The Vatican said Francis died of a stroke that put him into a coma and led his heart to fail.

Francis made his final public appearance on Easter Sunday. He appeared very frail and had delegated the celebration of the Easter Mass to another cardinal.
