The New Jersey Department of Health been notified by the CDC that two New Jersey residents were potentially exposed to a person infected with hantavirus after that individual departed from the cruise ship MV Hondius. The residents were not passengers on the ship, and the potential exposure occurred during air travel abroad. Both individuals are being monitored in coordination with local health officials and are not currently showing symptoms. Risk to the public remains very low. There are no confirmed cases of hantavirus in New Jersey. We will continue to keep residents informed as the situation develops.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

"To my manager, makeup artist, fashion adviser, my love. Happy Birthday". —Tina Knowles via IG. ❤️ "I remember the day that we found out about you being in your mom's womb. We could not have been more excited! We were told that you were the size of a blueberry and that is where your name came from, ! We all prayed together for you every single day till you were 12 weeks old in your moms belly! Then we prayed individually until you arrived months later. It was apparent that you were a fighter from the beginning, and you talked very early. And you were always smart as a whip we played Princess and Barbie dolls All the time and your imagination was incredible. To say that I'm a proud grandmother is an understatement! Even with all of your accomplishments and success, you remain a very sweet, kind humble human being. To my manager, makeup artist, fashion adviser, my love. Happy Birthday".

When an Aboriginal Australian girl graduated college in 2016, her grandfather, an Aboriginal elder who lives on a remote island, traveled almost 2,000 miles to attend the ceremony and dance with her. In 2016, a young Aboriginal Australian woman graduated from college, an achievement that marked not just personal success, but the power of perseverance, family, and cultural pride. To honor the moment, her grandfather, an Aboriginal elder, journeyed nearly 2,000 miles from a remote island to attend her ceremony. Dressed in traditional body paint and ceremonial adornments, he danced beside her, symbolizing the union of ancient tradition and modern achievement. The photo captures a profound moment where two worlds meet: the deeply rooted spirituality and heritage of Indigenous Australia, and the rising presence of Aboriginal voices in academia and society. His long journey wasn't just physical, it was generational, representing centuries of survival, resilience, and hope. Australia’s Aboriginal peoples are the world’s oldest continuous cultures, with traditions, stories, and ceremonies that have been passed down for over 65,000 years. © Reddit #archaeohistories
