The reason we don’t view needing glasses like we do other disabilities is because the accommodation has become so accessible that people just live their lives! And we could, as a society, work towards that being the case for all disabilities instead of idk eugenics???????????
I’m in a group chat with other international healthcare workers who have volunteered and worked in Gaza. Multiple people have had baby formula confiscated by the Israeli military as they enter Gaza. These are not isolated incidents, but a systemic policy of genocide.
when we see ourselves as separate from fellow workers, that's exactly what empowers billionaires and capitalists to thrive while the rest of our lives get worse and worse
The mayor can take a week’s vacation & nothing changes
The sanitation workers & morgue workers stop for 3 days & it’s pandemonium
So who are the real essential workers?
And why are they paid a fraction of what the office staff gets?
All Black American history isn’t something I take pride in. Just like any other group, we aren’t a monolith. Not everyone wanted to be free from slavery, or agreed with the civil rights movement. Some people were ok with and took pride in being the HNIC, bootlickers and tokens.
Vietnamese people are still suffering from the health consequences of the US poisoning them with Agent Orange. Families of survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki still have birth defects to this day. The US bombing Iranian nuclear site is a disregard for the life,
Planned Parenthood provides cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, and health education. Millions rely on it for essential care. its not just abortions.

It’s really disheartening that Atlanta’s Cop City project never made it into national discourse. Becuase despite our best efforts. It’s open now, and mark my words bro, there will be a Cop City in your town next, believe it.
My wife Yara looked up at the torn ceiling of our tent and said to me:
"The world has forgotten us, Mohammed... No one asks anymore, no voices reach us."
I looked at her, then at our children sleeping beside us, and replied softly:
"No… the world hasn't forgotten. Maybe it's tired, maybe it's late, but there are still hearts that care."
She shook her head and asked:
"So there’s still hope?"
I said:
"As long as I’m breathing, I’ll keep writing, shouting, and speaking… until our voice is heard."
Then I picked up my phone…
And wrote this tweet:
"We are here… living despite hunger, dreaming under the bombs, and believing there are still hearts in this world beating for us."
You’ll frequently hear that more journalists have been killed in Gaza than in any other conflict in recent history. You might assume they’re killed in crossfire out on the job, when in fact many are killed while they’re asleep with their families.
🇮🇷 Iran: No nukes. No invasions. Signs treaties.
🇮🇱 Israel: 400 nukes. No inspections. Repeated attacks.
Yet the West calls Iran the threat. Why the lies? Why the hypocrisy?
