Speaking of being working class, I’m having a tough time keeping my head above water with bills- I have ongoing health issues that keep adding to the pile. I’m looking for about 600$ and have already raised $55. Any help you can offer would help tremendously!

It's compelling how artists' challenges & limitations produce unique and often BETTER art.

Two examples I can think of aren't in the visual arts fields. Billie Holiday developed a unique style due to an unusually small vocal range. Jaws was a better film because they showed the (flawed) shark less

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.

Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

I'm relieved his other efforts seem on track to fail, but he's passed off sponsorship of HB183, which looks like it may pass along with other anti-trans measures.
