In Texas, A 18-year-old girl experienced a miscarriage at around six months pregnant. She visited emergency rooms three times over about 20 hours. On her second visit, she screened positive for sepsis, but doctors discharged her because the fetus still had a heartbeat, saying she was "fine to leave." On the third visit, an OB-GYN insisted on two ultrasounds to "confirm fetal demise" before admitting her to intensive care. She died hours later from sepsis complications. Her mother later said it felt like doctors were more concerned about the fetal heartbeat than her daughter's life.
The fact that almost EVERY former confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives almost immediately after the SCOTUS decision should be more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection and racism is far from gone in this country.
The idea is to find a group of people most people regard as terrible examples, use them to make revoking passports a more acceptable form of punishment, then expand it from there.
100+ Black people, including me, stood 7pm-6am at the Ukraine/Hungary border. We were blocked while fair skin passed. A soldier cocked his gun at me, threatening to shoot if I didn’t let a Moroccan girl pass because she was closer to white. I still have panic attacks from this.
Was walking around work with an ice pack on my head the other day. Every single child was SO STRESSED! I had 6th graders giving me remedies to fix my headache.
I just fell down a flight of stairs in front of a group of elementary schoolers. I expected giggles, maybe some ridicule. I didn't expect every single one to "help" me up. They INSISTED that they would walk me to the school nurse, too.
The kids are alright.
UPDATE: Our mom had a seizure about an hour ago. It was more severe than usual. I ask again that you consider donating or spreading the word. Any support is appreciated.
This woman has been locked up for ten months while suffering from leukaemia
Just another example of how ICE is a disability justice issue
She’s being denied medical care. She’s lost 70lbs. She’s coughing up blood
It’s cruel & inhumane
Make noise for Yari before it’s too late
After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal#FreeBenAndJerrys
University of South Wales responds this way to a Palestinian student living a genocide and famine.
I am wondering about their response were she an Israeli woman
I cannot believe this story is getting buried data centers are striking private deals with utility companies to offload the costs of their energy usage onto average people
This is the stuff that doesn’t make the news. This is just “normal life” under Israeli occupation. This is the daily brutality & humiliation Palestinians endure when the media tells you there is “calm” in the region.
