Do you even have the money to not care about your health? Do you have the money for the premiums, the prescriptions, the insurance, the copays, the deductibles? The specialists? The treatments? Do you know many things arent even covered by your insurance?

Three years after my husband died, I’m still trying to prove our life together was worth losing his family.

What I live with isn’t forgetting — it’s the blurring of memory.

On the third anniversary, I wrote about grief, memory, and continuing without answers.

What I live with isn't forgetting, it's the blurring. A meditation on grief, memory, and continuing without answers three years after loss.

The racist-ass Supreme Court says race can't be a factor for college admissions or redistricting but racial profiling is perfectly fine for ICE to bash brown and Black skulls.

F this corrupt institution.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Sir there were many people calling for “ceasefire” while denouncing Hamas and explicitly saying that Netanyahu was the problem & was not even supported by Israelis. They were also condemned. The lines were drawn very sharply. Please don’t remake history.

Malcolm P. Johnson @admiralmpj.bsky.social · 1d

Not true. If people were merely calling for a Ceasefire, they would have been agreed with, 100% by supporters of Israel, 80% of whom hate Nethanyahu.

But people were using Zionism as an epithet.

People wanted Israel to cease to exist.

And that as the LEAST of it.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 2d

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.
