She gave birth to different-color twins, but her husband said, “Only the white one is mine.” The delivery room was still buzzing with the energy of new life—beeping monitors, muffled voices, the faint cries of two newborns wrapped in matching blankets.

A few patients sat scattered, most buried in their phones or half-dozing while waiting for their names to be called. Elena Brooks, a Black nurse in her 30s, walked through the lobby in her scrubs, clipboard in one hand, gloves already on. She had just finished assisting with a minor procedure…
A little boy points at a police officer in court. What he said left everyone speechless. The courtroom was silent. You could almost hear hearts beating. The air felt heavy, like it was hard to breathe. Everyone’s eyes were locked on a little boy standing in the witness box. His name was Ethan, just 7 years old. His small hands were clutching the railing as if it could protect him. His face was pale, and his eyes nervously scanned the room.
