Trying. To be the change I want to see and share the joy of life as much as I can.
May all our lives be enriched with peace, health, and happiness and until we All have those, may we All find the strength to make this a shared reality.

Less than $700 away from our goal. Thank you to everyone who has supported us!

Please consider donating $5 to help us reach that mark !
Imagine not having a place to shower. Days without being able to get clean. Nowhere to go.
We already have the shower trailer. We just need a truck to haul it so we can bring free showers and dignity to people in NJ.
We are only a few hundred dollars short. Every dollar helps.

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.

Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.

The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.
Trump: "House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide."

A humble request: if you’re asking Sudani folks for teach-ins, speaking requests, media engagements etc consider planning them far in advance to sustain the attention on Sudan and to help ppl manage the overwhelming number of requests coming in atm.

I’m Reem… from Gaza.
Winter is here — but warmth is not.
I live in a torn tent, and the rain is pouring in from every side.
Everything is soaked — the blankets, the clothes, the food… even us
Water drips on our heads while the cold cuts through our bones

Hi, I’m Sakher from Gaza.
Yesterday, I posted a video from inside the camp where I live.
I showed how the rain flooded everything — the entire camp was drowning in water…
My tent got soaked. Everything inside was wet — the blankets, the clothes, even the ground we sleep on….⬇️

The cold rain has flooded the area I’m in, and everything around me is wet and freezing.
I have no warm clothes, no dry place to sleep, and the weather is getting worse every hour.
My health isn’t stable… I’m exhausted, hungry,

As @raeoflion.bsky.social and I wrote in this article featuring Rae's video:

A report from the California Health Care Foundation found that 10 percent cut to HCBS programs would lead to $1 billion more in Medicaid spending in the state... due to the greater overall costs of institutionalization.
Medicaid-funded services are their lifeline—and make their work possible. But the Trump cuts to the program could change it all.

Mohammed has a super detailed chuffed that is a very good read if you’re interested at all about life in Gaza- he also has done a thread in the post I’m quoting ⬇️ about his family history that is very interesting
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 22 and was studying electrical engineering (you can read about his family in the 🧵 ). He’s trying to help his family including his pregnant sister Rasha and his 4 year old nephew Khamis who started kindergarten yesterday!

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.

You have a right to see this file.
