if you ever see a cop harassing someone who’s unhoused simply for existing, stay and make sure that cop knows you’re watching the whole thing

This is so important. It’s an issue that is deeply important to me as a trans woman of color who has experienced homelessness.
Now that I’m not in that place, I try always to look out for people who still are.
In fact it’s important to film police in all interactions.

It's a travesty that the Korean War is known as "the forgotten war"—US involvement was nothing short of genocidal. Even after dividing Korea and separating 10 million families, the US imposes a travel ban today preventing 100k Koreans in US from visiting their families in DPRK.

I can’t recommend this episode enough to understand the unfolding disaster of Medicaid “unwinding”. Reporting shows 32,000 have already been disenrolled. Roughly the same percentage are “administrative” but with an even higher proportion of children at 50%. missouriindependent.com/2023/07/27/k...
In our latest, we discuss “managed care,” a seemingly innocuous term for a guiding principle under US health capitalism that structures and incentivizes medical rationing and austerity
