The last line of this segment—after Rhea describes working from 2am to 8pm—is a gut punch.
Koppel: "Could you work any harder?"
Rhea: "If I could, I would."
If you'd like to help her family directly, Rhea shared her Chime ($Rhea-Connell) and Zelle (rhea_connell26@yahoo.com)

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.
The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

I don't talk about it often, but I have social anxiety, big crowds can sometimes be difficult.
But the kindness of readers brings a smile to my face. If you see that smile, you know I mean it.
Please be patient if it seems like I am a little bit inside myself sometimes. I can't help it.

And willing to admit people are complex and can do both good and bad like Sanger. The best way to move forward is to embrace the positive and learn from the shortcomings of the past so we can do better, be better.

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...
Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery
Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

In 1950, Lisette Model set out to create a book of jazz pictures. Suspicion of her leftist politics led to the project’s collapse, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. But the images, and the wariness that they capture during an era of persecution, survived:
