It’s been more than 160 days since David Moturi was shot. The bullet broke two ribs and lodged near his spine. It was removed in January, but there’s a lot more that the surgical procedure couldn’t fix. The feeling of danger has stuck, occupying his body as he has attempted to heal.
Davis Moturi reflects on failed pleas to Minneapolis police that led to him being shot in his own yard
It’s been more than five months since Davis Moturi was allegedly shot and wounded by his neighbor in Minneapolis. Moturi, who is Black, says the shooting was preceded by numerous racist and violent th...

I'm a Jew who went to pro Palestinian rally and it was one of the friendliest political spaces I'd ever been and one of the easiest to have serious conversations. Many people feel powerless right now but you can surround Palestinians in your community with support and care

US COVID SHOTS ARE FREE.
Please do not let Walgreens and CVS mislead you or your family members or neighbors about this! They are the biggest part of the federal bridge (free shots for uninsured people) program, but the rollout’s logistics have been a little scattered and you may get pushback.

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗
