It’s our duty to sustain Palestinian life. Ahmed is an art therapist who will use his degree to enhance his therapy practice for child trauma. But he needs our help with basic needs in Egypt before he starts his degree.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

AVCEI In agreement with the Cities and Volcanoes Commission and the IAVCEI Executive Committee, the Local Organizing Committee for the 13th Cities on Volcanoes (COV13) conference, originally planned for July 2026 in Bend, Oregon (U.S.A.), has made the difficult decision to postpone the event to a future date. Recent developments have created uncertainty around our ability to confidently and effectively host the conference in 2026 and to welcome attendees without concern. This decision follows many months of collaboration with more than 70 local, regional, and international partners to shape an engaging and meaningful program. We recognize this news will be disappointing, but we believe it is the most responsible choice under the current circumstances, grounded in care for our colleagues and partners. With continued support from the Cities and Volcanoes Commission and IAVCEl, we are already exploring the possibility of hosting COV in Bend in 2030 or 2032, and we remain hopeful for opportunities to gather in the future.

A few mamas and caregivers will get the best gift of their lives this Mother’s Day: freedom.

It’s that time of year – we’re bailing out Black mamas and caregivers with your support for Mother’s Day!

#FreeBlackMamas today by giving to break open a cage: bit.ly/freeblackmamas2025

#FreeBlackMamas calls us to do more than send flowers or make a call to our mothers.

#FreeBlackMamas demands that we take action to defend and tangibly support the mothers who form the bedrock of our communities.

#FreeBlackMamas at bit.ly/freeblackmamas2025

Every year I participate in and encourage other bereaved moms suffering through Mother's day to help reconnect mamas with their kids by donating to National Bail Out/Free Black Mamas. Giving can lighten the pain just a little, but it can help.

I have gained hundreds of new followers in the last few days, many of whom may not know the 10 Disability Justice principles! If you are not yet thinking critically about access, please consider this a personal invite from me to do so as disabled folx are ALWAYS a part of all of our communities! 🫂🫂🫂

This is generally good advice, but I honestly think about you all the time! 😅 (it's all good of course, and usually in conversation with others about reasons to hope and care and try)

These signs are amazing!

I'm glad y'all are willing to be seen and heard protesting Trump and Musk.
I'm sad that you didn't have this energy for Palestine.
The sooner you accept that it's the same colonialism/racial capitalism that built this empire that is the root of all our problems, the sooner we can get rid of it.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Inshallah 🤲

the baddest bitch in our solar system loves us

"You can receive AS if you're doing it for others' sake e.g. because care costs are too expensive"

Safe abortion for all. No compromise, NO APOLOGY.

I donated, please do the same if you can.

#Gaza: Doctors Without Borders condemns the March 23 Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital, the largest functioning hospital, killing two and injuring many.

We call once again for the restoration of the #ceasefire and for the resumption of the entry of essential aid and supplies.

massively depressing that the big scandal is that the shithead guy from the atlantic got texted accidentally and not the part where they're raining more death on yemen

screenshot of @HossamShabat on twitter: This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message : “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side. By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people. I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.” — For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza. followed by a photo of Hossam in a press vest. black and white.

Hossam Shabat, a 23 year old journalist who documented the genocide of his people left a final message. shared by his team.

Criminal justice reform is something I'm quite passionate about. In Milwaukee County, we definitely have a lot of room for improvement.

I hope you will join me on March 24th for the first in what I hope will become a series of community forums I affectionately call "Unlocking Justice."

Oh! You're exactly right. She was on our little to read list from our doc on Child. We had put down the Utz McKnight book - 240 pages, published in 2020.

I wouldn't have been able to make a guess so I think your memory is better than mine here! Couldn't find anything in our old docs or emails either. I did find a potential books for 2024 list, and she wasn't even on it! But that would have been from the beginning of the year, I know we added things.

These present another danger now, especially for migrants: Diversion programs often require people to admit to certain facts or plead guilty to an offense in exchange for a program over prosecution—which in some cases can now subject them to mandatory detention and deportation under new federal law.
