Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

There’s a lot of talk about the Hitler youth types who are turning in their professors and not enough discussion about the ones who are feeling intense despair because they're going to school with the Hitler youth types and immigrants are being kidnapped and trans people are facing genocide &etc

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

to keep functioning society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities
I wrote about a novel approach to tackling misinformation currently being discussed in Wales--and which some say Canada should try, too. What if we made a rule so politicians couldn't lie? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Is it time to make it illegal for politicians to lie to us?
That’s the question currently on the table in Wales, which has just released a draft of the “globally pioneering” sanctions for politicians.

They straight up execute LGBTQ people simply for existing. This is ultimately what the Trump administration wants, listen to how envious he sounds of the Saudis here.
Trump: "A lot of the Saudis are sitting here saying, 'What the hell is he talking about? Transitioning?' They don't do a lot of transitioning. They're saying, 'What do you mean women are playing against men? That doesn't happen does it?" Yeah it does. These people are crazy."
