Whether or not that's even a real account, that's a factual and true thing that happens here all the time.

This lady is not alone in rationing her medicine. I’m doing the same thing. Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

Rationing insulin is a death sentence for a juvenile diabetic but that’s what I’m attempting.
I can’t even afford to die. I’ve told my kids just don’t claim my body. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 1d

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Detailed thread of my Palestinian Lesbians piece! 🌿(Alt included) - (1/7) { #art #pride }

Digital art Illustration of two women in a tender embrace in front of a arched window. Both women are Palestinian and wearing elaborately decorated traditional thobes. The woman to the left has a deeper skin tone and a tender smile. Her braided black hair is decorated with silver ornaments towards the bottom.
The text next to the illustration reads:
Palestinian Lesbians (detailed)
Some terms:
Thobe: Traditional dress of Palestinian women
Managel: A joining stitch used decoratively or functionally to attach two pieces of fabric together.
Hijab: A protective barrier. Used to describe both a Muslim woman's headscarf and an amulet, one of the most ancient protective symbols in the Levant.
Tahriri: Couching stitch that uses gold, silver, or metallic threads.
Tatreez: Arabic for embroidery and colloquially used to refer to Palestinian cross stitch. End text.

This isn't "good" news, but definitely helps maintain your privacy.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

I'll also guarantee that half the fuckin US senate are dead ass pedoph*les and/or hung out on Island Epstein. A new case comes out everyday of some conservative freakshow who ends up having tons and tons of CSEM and gets arrested.

It's the same old fuckin playbook. PROTECT THE CHILDREN. Bullshit. You know what the biggest threat to kids is? Politicians.

It's interesting to see what's going on in other places that have democratic elections because the whole polarized povs across various topics are so similar and 50/50. I feel like everyone who registers alt right should just be dropped in Antarctica and we'll all figure it out from there.

So it's kinda wild going on other countries' subreddits where they're talking about their own domestic and international politics, because in certain cases, it's legit like WHY DID HALF OF MY COUNTRY **VOTE IN** THESE LUNATICS. I feel you, brother. Same.

When Ireland was standing strong with Palest*ne early on, I didn't understand why they were so outspoken (it seemed random) but then I learned about the shared history. I started learning more history and there was some FUCKED UP SHIT done to the Irish. I even learned new things about my own family.

THIS is so true and I'm so glad it's taking center stage at part of the rally. NYC treats people with disabilities and/or who require assistive devices like shit based solely on the (lack of) merits of inaccessible public transportation and horribly maintained walkways.

Like idk man, aside from it being the armed forces, if I worked for the government and they randomly were like you're going to Chicago to occupy an American city and we have no idea when you'll back say bye to your kids, I'd personally be pissed.

Quite frankly I'm really wondering what the National Guard people are thinking right now... like, in three different cases they've gotten pulled from some other state to go and... do nothing? Them being different than ICE, the types of people who are called by name at the Nuremberg trials.
