๐Ÿ’” #FoodInsecurity isn't just #hungerโ€”it worsens stroke outcomes.
Studies show:
โ€ข 1 in 3 stroke survivors face food insecurityโ€”nearly double non-stroke rates
โ€ข Stroke survivors with food insecurity had ~3.7ร— higher mortality
๐Ÿ“Œ Healthcare without food isnโ€™t complete.

Nihilism Means Nothing to Me
ย 
Hegel, when you left me,
you put me through the mill.
I kant think clearly anymore โ€“
your marx are on me still.
ย 
The hobbestacles are everywhere.
Unlocke your door and be my guide.
Life is dull when youโ€™re not arendt,
I nietzsche by my side.
ย 
You said I bourdieu senseless.
You claimed I drove you nuts.
But I adorno other โ€“
My head spinoza much
ย 
The rawls of love I just donโ€™t get,
I donโ€™t know where to sartre.
I plato win but always lose โ€“
come back, exhume my heartre.

LA: โ€œThey took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.โ€

A screenshot of a post on X. It's a double quote tweet. The original post is a photo of bacon in a frying pan and the caption says, "Just wanting to share some bacon with all my lovable Muslim peeps this monning. It's the least I can do." Then another account quotes that with the caption, "Hey @ZohranKMamdani this is for you, Bone-petite!" And finally Zohran quote tweets that with the caption, "my brother, this isn't garlic and we're not vampires."

"I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from โ€œdemocracyโ€ to โ€œauthoritarianism.โ€ Instead, this is exactly how it happens โ€” a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged." #Amerikkka #MAGAFascism

Letโ€™s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished โ€” and disappeared โ€” because he embarrassed our pretender king.

They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

I think itโ€™s due to operating from a basis of fear/anger. Linear time doesnโ€™t exist there. Like when your partner upsets you, all you can think about is every other single time theyโ€™ve upset you in the a similar way. It feels like itโ€™s all happening now. You know, โ€˜truthinessโ€™ instead of truth.

Itโ€™s the seduction of the โ€œsilver bullet,โ€ the belief that there remains a fact yet to be revealed thatโ€™s so damning that it will break Trumpโ€™s spell. But heโ€™s not a witch, heโ€™s a fascist. Itโ€™s not magic, itโ€™s an awful movement, and you beat it not with counterspells but with better organizing.

Powerful message from one of the heroic Texas Democrats (who have been fighting on the front lines for many years).

Theyโ€™ve been living with this longer than you have. Theyโ€™ve been trying to warn you.

Please listen.
