You should wear sunscreen even if you have darker skin. Here's why 72e3t

Skin experts say people of color still need to wear sunscreen. The melanin in darker skin offers some extra protection from the sun, but dermatologists say that isn’t enough on its own. Sunscreen does help prevent skin cancer, but the cancers affecting Black people tend not to be sun-related. Dermatologists say sunscreen is an additional protective layer that helps prevent a host of other skin problems including sunburns, rosacea and dark patches. It's recommended that people with darker skin use at least SPF 30 sunscreen, reapplying every two hours.

Israeli use of human shields in Gaza was systematic, soldiers and former detainees tell the AP 134c6r

One said he was beaten, bound and blindfolded. Two Israeli solders also described using human shields and that derogatory like mosquito were used to refer to the Palestinians.

Trump is returning to West Point to speak at the US Military Academy's graduation 5w4o2p

  • Updated

President Donald Trump is delivering his first military commencement address since returning to office. The Republican president is set to speak to West Point’s graduating class on Saturday morning. Trump gave the commencement address at West Point in 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The president urged the graduating cadets to “never forget” the soldiers who fought a war over slavery during his remarks, which came as the nation was reckoning with its history on race after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Trump also paid tribute to the military academy’s history and its famed graduates, including Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
