Some personal news: I have been financially supporting a family member in a mental health crisis which has spiraled into a financial disaster.
I would like to keep doing progressive activism but I can no longer pay rent for myself and my two kids.
Please help if you can. Thank you very much.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.
To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.
And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Really, my friends, the responsibilities are great and very difficult for me. I was just a student, and now I bear the responsibility of saving my family. Your support makes me stronger. Your support is everything to me.
Here is Jamal from Gaza whose family lost everything and he is trying with all his might to rebuild their lives and help them with the crazy costs in Gaza and travel outside Gaza when the crossings open. I hope you support us. Your little support, even if it is $5

This case has become political but we can’t lose sight of law enforcement concerns & the importance of public safety. The question is whether traditional values of DOJ will stay in play or whether this case will be about politics, not about protecting the public. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It's worth noting that this excellent piece was written by an intern and published in a nonprofit news source. Very impressive!
how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...
This Tuckahoe home won a $1.26 billion contract for an ICE detention center. The owner isn't talking.
The company’s website is dated and largely accessible only via login.
