Maternal death rates are falling for every group – except Black women. Why? The answer isn’t solely healthcare. My take at the link. Please share!

When we got suspended from Cornell for our peaceful, anti-genocide encampment, Cornell admin threatened to attach a permanent notice to our transcripts about the suspensions. Cornell chose to protect this rapist, and chose not to notify or warn NSU about him.
New: One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape transferred to a Florida university.
The university says it was unaware of the allegations when it admitted him, raising questions about what disciplinary info follows students between colleges.

Chuck Schumer has yet to say a word in defense of Omar.
Me and Ilhan Omar are far apart policy wise. I’m pro life, she’s pro abortion. I’m pro 2A, she’s pro gun control. And on and on.
But can someone tell me how pretending to get ready to deport Ilhan Omar is going to bring gas down under $2, make health insurance freaking affordable, make a family’s weekly grocery bill make sense, and stop sending our beloved military off to fight for another fucking foreign war???
People are so sick and tired of the bullshit.
When you dumb mf’ers at the WH actually release the Epstein files and lock up the pedophiles and rapists you all hang out with, then we will start paying attention.
Until then 🖕.

This is literally going to be a life saving policy.
A new MBTA program will offer Massachusetts residents 75+ without driver’s licenses free travel systemwide.

Imagine feeding kids, opening clinics and organizing your community while the FBI infiltrates and dismantles your movement. Panther leaders were jailed, exiled and even killed. Yet the KKK survived. That history speaks volumes.

Named a song “Heil Hitler”, told yall slavery was a choice, sent his henchmen to intimidate black poll workers in Georgia and 70K people decided that wasn’t their line.
Over 70,000 people at Soldier Field Stadium were singing every word of “Heartless” with Ye during his homecoming show in Chicago

your government just said you don't have a right to clean water, clean water is only for those who can afford it

These guys live lives so devoid of human experience and meaning that they artificially construct painful experiences so they have something they believe is worth bragging about and think you and I are supposed to be impressed by it. It’s pathetic.
Sequoia partner Doug Leone reveals he got a root canal with no Novocaine to see if he was really a badass
"I had to get a root canal. And I had to go to a meeting right after that. I told the dentist, drill without any Novocaine.”
“My whole life, I wanted to see if I was a badass or not. Am I a fake badass that has this envelope nobody could tell, or am I really a badass on the inside?"
"He drilled and I jumped. And I told the dentist, I won't move again. And I didn't move again. I used the trick of thinking what it must be like to go to war and lose an arm or two legs. That's pain with consequences. Mine was pain with no consequences."
“It’s just nerve endings from there to my brain to my spine, f*ck it I’m not moving.”
"I had to go home and change my shirt because I was a puddle of sweat. But I didn't move. And so I love fear. It does wonders for me."

STOLE. They STOLE $10M from low income, medically needy children.
Stop with the “misappropriated” BS.
A Florida grand jury found that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration “misappropriated” $10 million in taxpayer money it diverted to a charity run by his wife and was later used for political purposes.

They preparing us for water shortages 😭😭😭
You don’t need to make drinking water a part-time job since too much of it doesn’t have any real health benefit.

Gary, Indiana doesn’t have power for the same reason Flint, Michigan didn’t have clean water, for the same reason Jackson, Mississippi hasn’t gotten state funds for necessary infrastructure improvements.
Gary, Indiana is 76% Black.
Flint, Michigan is 57% Black.
Jackson, Mississippi is 82% Black.
It really isn’t that hard to figure out.

Social workers are another arm of the carceral system and even have qualified immunity the same as cops. There is a CENTURIES long history in America of social workers weaponizing prison against women of color to push forced sterilization practices. I write about it in my upcoming book

NEW: I spoke with Black farmers who said the cyclospora outbreak has sent a record number of people to their markets and CSA programs.
They want people to know that you can support Black farmers all year round, not just during disaster.

I feel like I’ve been watching the government try to murder the population of New Orleans my entire life.
AI is now answering 911 calls in New Orleans.
The AI handles incoming calls and is supposed to analyze and prioritize the calls so that if multiple people phone in about the same incident, the chatbot will handle the repetitive calls about the same incident.
Critics warn that the automatic speech recognition systems may cause problems, the AI may hold hidden biases, and that human 911 responders are needed.
