I spent the last 18 months reporting on the process of involuntary discharge from dialysis, a process meant to be reserved for patient violence but that's being used to silence patients. Thank you to the @MotherJones team and @NinaLisss for helping make this piece amazing.
One-third of dialysis patients in the US are Black, but Black patients account for more than half of all involuntary discharges.

PSA: Being alarmed about climate change does not equal being an "alarmist."
The state of our climate right now is *objectively* alarming.
If you are *not* alarmed by it, you are not engaging with reality.
