Today, Vice President Kamala Harris and People For the American Way announced the revival and rebrand of the KamalaHQ accounts as a new project: Headquarters. KamalaHQ played a critical role in the 2024 presidential campaign as the accounts helped to move key messages like Project 2025 from the “left bubble” and into the mainstream. Now, the Vice President is partnering with People For the American Way – one of the most storied membership organizations in the country – to build an effort to mobilize pro-justice, pro-fairness, pro-democracy young people against far-right extremism. This combination of these large social media accounts and an organization that has for decades been at the nexus of culture and politics will help power the progressive movement for another generation.

Why Awake-Only Lipo Is Trending And What Doctors Want You to Know
Cosmetic surgery trends tend to follow a familiar arc: a new technique promises quicker recovery, lower risk, and more convenience — and social media accelerates its popularity. The latest procedure gaining attention is “awake-only” liposuction, often marketed as a safer, faster alternative to traditional lipo performed under general anesthesia. Searches for awake liposuction have increased, […]Hidden Black History: Tuskegee Airmen’s Contribution To World War II
The Tuskegee Airmen were a squadron of African-American pilots who served with distinction in the American military during WWII. The Airmen served in the U.S. Army Air Corps and, subsequently, the U.S. Air Force. Their patriotism and bravery shone through as they served their country in the military amid an era of pervasive bigotry. One […]‘Trust Your Gut’: 7 Signs That You Need a Gastroenterologist
A leading group of U.S. tummy doctors wants Americans to get used to talking about their bowel symptoms, at least with their physicians. People are hesitant to discuss digestive trouble with a medical professional, with one in three saying they would mention it only if their doctor brought it up first, according to the American […]340B Reform Is Essential to Deliver on Its Promise to Underserved Patients
Good intentions alone are not enough in 340B. Let’s get informed. The good news is that the growing national scrutiny of how the 340B program operates should be seen not as a threat, but as an opportunity for needed reform. Recent national reporting in The New York Times highlighted a Senate inquiry into the private […]I Spent 16 Years in Pain. Now I’m Living Sickle Cell–Free.
Today, Kwincy Lassiter is a 25-year-old Arizona State University student enjoying a second chance at life. However, the first 16 years of his journey looked much different. He battled sickle cell disease with over 70 blood transfusions, enduring a reality that forced him to miss school and sports while facing silent strokes, acute chest syndrome, […]Hidden Black History: The First Open-Heart Surgeon Was Black
Up to the late 1800s, many doctors believed that an injury to the heart was too complex to treat. As a result, many patients who presented with heart problems that needed to be corrected with surgery were turned away. Fortunately, Daniel Hale Williams opened the door to the possibility of operating on the heart successfully. […]Can Constipation Cause Back Pain?
If you’ve been wondering ‘can constipation cause back pain?’ you’re not alone—millions experience this surprising connection every day. Constipation can cause back pain when stool buildup creates pressure in the colon, irritates nerves near the lower spine, or leads to straining during bowel movements. This tension often causes dull aches, sharp pain, or lower back […]Why Bedroom Temperature Matters More for Sleep as We Age
The “cool side of the pillow” isn’t just a metaphor for comfort; for decades, it’s been the gold standard for sleep hygiene. We’ve been told by countless experts that a chilly room—somewhere between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit—is the magic window for deep REM cycles. But as we age, the rules of the game seem […]4 Non-Surgical Treatments for HER2+, ER+ Breast Cancer
Receiving a diagnosis of HER2+ and ER+ breast cancer that is either metastatic (has spread to other organs) or locally advanced (cannot be surgically removed) is a life-altering moment. It brings a unique set of challenges because this specific subtype of cancer is “driven” by two different fuel sources. However, while the diagnosis is serious, […]AI Is Already in the Exam Room But Bias Might Be, Too
Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept in medicine. It is already in exam rooms, hospitals, insurance systems, and telehealth platforms. AI tools now help doctors draft clinical notes, flag high-risk patients, suggest diagnoses, predict hospital readmissions, and even recommend treatment plans. In theory, these systems promise efficiency, earlier detection of illness, and better […]How At-Home Clinical Trials Could Increase Participation Among Black Americans
If you’ve ever looked into participating in a clinical trial, you might’ve discovered the process isn’t always simple. It often requires conversations with your healthcare provider, research into available studies, and careful consideration of whether a specific trial fits your medical and personal needs. For many patients, the decision-making process can feel overwhelming. One of […]Allyson Felix on Fighting Mom Guilt: “We Have to Fill Our Own Cup”
Five-time Olympian track star Allyson Felix is no stranger to fighting for the causes she believes in. When she was diagnosed at 32 weeks pregnant with severe preeclampsia—a potentially life-threatening complication—she used her platform to educate women and their support systems about urgent warning signs. When a sponsor proposed cutting her pay by 70 percent […]Hidden Black History: 3000 BC Imhotep A Learned Black Physician
Imhotep was one of the most revered figures in Ancient Egyptian history, not only because he was a pharaoh. He was appropriately named “the one who arrives in peace” because of the respect people showed him even after he passed away. Who Is Imhotep? Egypt was home to the first known scientist, Imhotep, a brilliant […]New Sleep Apnea Treatment Could be Life-Changing
Studies show that over 30 million Americans are living with sleep apnea. Worse yet, another 24 million Americans may not even know they have the potentially crippling sleep disorder. Although this may seem like a small percentage of the population, it’s more significant than you think. To put it in perspective, the number of people […]OUR FRIENDS
