For my family, your support means something very real — a meal on the table and helping provide the basic needs for my children. ❤️
Every act of kindness helps us get through another day. 🥹
Please remember: no amount is too small.
At the virtual Celebration of South Asian LGBTQIA+ Communities in America event with SAADA & my brown queer heart is so fucking happy to hear these beautiful stories from elders about their experiences, so sharing Sandip Roy's book, which is about Chapal Rani, whose story is completely new to me!✨✨✨
Weaving our Worlds has compiled resources and diverse left perspectives from and on Iran. Rather than reduce Iran to various intra-left ideological debates, these provide analysis based in the context, specificity and history.

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”
Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth
Would you hate a country that dropped a bomb on your child's school? 🤔 Asking for a friend!
Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.
"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."
Maher is an Islamophobe of the highest order. The fact that he has not been run out of town is a measure of how unseriously Islamophobia is treated in this country.
My friend Essam and his wife have been blessed with twins!! Life in Gaza is hard; let’s help build joy where we can. Please help them (if you can) to raise their babies in safety and comfort. Right now they are looking for $200 for milk, diapers, and clothes.

NEW: The Trump-Vance-Rubio administration has once again bypassed Congress to push through a $151.8 million bomb sale to Israel —>
Every single time I see them on the street, I just feel like rage-crying at how alone we are.
The rest of the country did what it's always done & either forgot we exist, or treat us like a thought exercise instead of a real city with scared, stressed out people living here.
Ajinomoto Foods N.A. is recalling additional 33 million pounds of frozen ready-to-eat and not-ready-to-eat chicken and pork fried rice, ramen, and shumai dumpling products.

ICE deported a 6 year old deaf child with severe disabilities to Columbia.
Before deporting him, they dragged him from camp to camp without providing his assistive hearing devices or a translator.
This innocent child had no way to communicate or understand what was being done to him:
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*.
Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%.
(Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.)
Context:
Oliver takes a dump on the Schumer-led Democratic demands after Alex Pretti’s shooting — “masks off, body cams on” — noting the killers had fucking body cams on, that that footage exists, that it didn’t change shit, and that we’re likely never to see it b/c they were exonerated automatically.

Too bad there aren't any rich people who could run ads with this information on every social media and regular media channel.
Perhaps the guests could include former enlisted military members pointing out the bullshit. Perhaps folks trapped in countries across the world because the State Dept cannot plan could be asked to call in... Perhaps Iranians who oppose the war could be featured...
Tomorrow the City Council has the opportunity to listen to this call and take a step to take care of our residents.
The Quakertown Police Chief faces calls to resign after the arrest of five students during an anti-ICE protest, leading to a heated public council meeting with community members demanding accountability.
this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying
this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop
“Just another faceless three-digit number of Muslim children extinguished from existence and relegated to A11...” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

Seems worth noting that ChatGPT Health failed to identify medical emergencies more than half the time in a recent study. The company that made that product just signed a deal with the "Department of War" and said trust us, it's all very safe and ethical.
It’s infuriating that someone who doesn’t have a license to practice medicine can be Surgeon General.
But there’s a bigger issue with Casey Means… the wellness to eugenics pipeline.
They’re setting the stage to blame the disabled for being sick.
Just wait.
please read the whole thread (with cw in mind), this is just awful
