Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC?

Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program.

If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

As a pregnant woman deep into pregnancy, I’d literally freak on anyone sharing crappy photos of me from any trimester. Leave poor Aubrey alone

Just so we're clear, Israel is now the first state to have an ethnicity-based death penalty since Nazi Germany.

I don’t think pregnant women should have to do anything, actually. Like you are making eyeballs in your body. You got enough going on.

I've seen no fewer than 15 Black women post about matching to OB/GYN this week, which is such a gift to our society given the horrific state of maternal mortality in America. These brilliant doctors are going to keep so many women safe throughout their careers.

More horrifying news out of Tehran, as US/Israeli strikes massacre 20 people at a cafe in Niloofar Square.

Says an eyewitness: “One of my friends...was severed in half...I put him back together & placed him where he was. A piece of his brain was thrown here on the floor.”

BREAKING:

The US and Israel dropped bombs on an elementary school for girls in Iran’s city of Minab.

36 little girls have been killed so far.

People are still pulling bodies from under the rubble.

Not militants. Not combatants.

Little girls. Students.

This is terrorism.

Imagine waking up to find out your drivers license is no longer valid, you can be arrested if you don’t update it before driving again, and all based on a law that was actually vetoed by your governor yet put into action immediately anyway.

If you give even 1/100th of a shit about babies, you will 1,000% support paid leave, one of the most crucial pro-mother and pro-child policies around. Infants demand round-the-clock care. Mothers want to give it to them - and pay rent. Few policies are as necessary.

Today on the bus, I saw a woman who was clearly pregnant maybe 5-6 months along, she asked a guy for his seat because she looked really unwell and was holding her stomach. He replied “Well, you want equality, you can stand." She immediately threw up on him. And his phone. And the edge of his jacket. The pure shock and disgust on his face was honestly so satisfying 😭😭 (I gave her my seat btw)

People living in the Middle East are not some special species that becomes more immune to tragedy the more they experience it. They are humans who are suffering at levels that are almost inconceivable To believe otherwise is to justify your cold indifference

Every red dot 🔴 is a bomb dropped in Palestine in the last few years - this is more than 2 Hiroshima nuclear bombs - it is 36 Kilograms of explosive for every man, woman and child.

Israel has destroyed Gaza's famous strawberry fields—once called "red gold" by farmers in Beit Lahia. The genocide wiped out 87% of Gaza's farmland, demolishing greenhouses, wells, and irrigation systems. Now Israel's "yellow line" blocks farmers from returning to their land. Three seasons lost. A symbol erased. https://t.co/qMPmZGeRCd

The Department of Education suddenly refusing to recognize fields dominated by women and minorities isn’t an accident. It’s discrimination.

This is how medical abortion exemptions play out in practice. You cannot abort if you have a 30% chance of dying. You cannot abort if you have a 90% chance of dying. You must actively be dying to receive care. But that simply isn’t how pregnancy works.
