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.

I am more sanguine than Emissary is about the prospects for a just two-state resolution.
And I respect Emissary’s pessimism because when I say that requires true sovereignty for Gaza and the West Bank, I mean NOT THIS OSLO BULLSHIT.

one of the worst things about being on the job market is when you're waiting to hear back from a place and you get the little adrenaline shock whenever there's an email notification and it's from your gym or some shit like that.

Try wrapping your mind around this map released earlier this year by the United Nations Office of Coordination for Humanitarian Affairs, describing and delineating restrictions of roads and land access for Palestinians in the oPT, sans Gaza.

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

the proximate reason i post here — beyond the fact that i like a lot of you and enjoy reading your thoughts and jokes and observations — is that this is a non-algorithmic platform where people share lots of stuff and people read what is shared. that's still valuable even if it doesn't "influence!"

Trump on Brown University: You would really have to ask the school about that because this was a school problem. They had their own guards, their own police, their own everything but you would have to ask that question to the school and not to the FBI.

Trump called her ‘garbage.’ Rep. Ilhan Omar says she remains unfazed.

Another US airstrike in Somalia happened yesterday, near Kismayo. AFRICOM released no casualty figures or other information beyond saying it "targeted" al-Shabaab. This is by my count the 87th strike or series of strikes announced by AFRICOM this year, by far the most ever in a year in Somalia.

“Alexa was dead. She wouldn’t talk to me.”
ICC judges have been forcibly removed from most digital services, credit cards, and banks.

It is notable that disabled rights are not as cleanly left/right split as other kinds of inclusion
Two things:
*They are only cutting these funds in seven states that lean Democratic
*Support for people with disabilities was a relatively bipartisan position. Trump has repeatedly made clear he does not see them as people worthy of support or dignity.

i don't think it's an exaggeration to say that rob reiner is a meaningful part of the reason i have the federal right to marry today
Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.
