The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

3 days until I see my mother again. 4 days until I get to take her on an amazing trip to Sri Lanka. I'm blessed to be able to do this pilgrimage with her and I'm lucky she is the best travel partner 💜

Today was Palestinian Independence Day.
As Trump and Netanyahu’s disastrous postwar plans become clear, the U.S. must recognize and respect Palestinian statehood — as 81% of the world already does.
