Even with my (relative) awareness and involvement in prison abolition and improving conditions for incarcerated people, I wasn't aware until this post that prisons are exempt from the ACA. Not surprised, but damn. (This is why independent journalism is important, follow The Xylom)

Most states outsource prison healthcare to for-profit contractors, meaning profit shapes every level of care. Since the federal Affordable Care Act protections do not apply to prisons, incarcerated people are not guaranteed regular checkups, prescriptions, or access to doctors.

It’s hilarious to me that dudes are like “I need to be roided out and 6’3’’ for women to want me” when in my experience most women want to fuck astarion baldur’s gate or that Tim Curry oil slick guy from fern gully

Studying and replicating Mamdani's messaging is going to be crucial moving forward. No more live and let live for the architects of destruction. Undo the harm, increase protections for individuals, and communicate the hell out of it. (Also, tenant unions are awesome!)

This is the story of how a group of perfectly ordinary neighbors took on one of the worst landlords in New York. And won. Introducing, the Union of Pinnacle Tenants: the short film. Watch the full film: youtu.be/h5dvGKI26ZA

Basically the height of caricature at this point: Israel is demanding that as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, it be allowed to continue attacking Gaza.

🚨Israel has formally objected to three provisions in the Board of Peace approved roadmap for Gaza, including demands that would allow it to continue striking the territory, prevent Hamas’s collected weapons from remaining under the NCAG’s control, and exclude Qatar and Turkey from verifying compliance, Haaretz reported.

🔸 Continued Israeli attacks: 
Israel is demanding continued freedom to carry out strikes across Gaza even after the agreement takes effect. A source familiar with the matter told Haaretz that “Israel demands freedom to strike areas of the Gaza Strip.”

It continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.

In the United States, there have been 103,436,829[3] confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 1,238,563[3] confirmed deaths, the most of any country, and the 17th highest per capita worldwide.[43] The COVID-19 pandemic ranks as the deadliest disaster in the country's history.[44] It was the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer.[45] From 2019 to 2020, U.S. life expectancy dropped by three years for Hispanic and Latino Americans, 2.9 years for African Americans, and 1.2 years for White Americans.[46] In 2021, U.S. deaths due to COVID-19 rose,[47] and life expectancy fell.[48]

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

Am told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

Been having dental work all week while keeping up with grad school, coordinating materials for a preorder campaign for this book launch, and writing a serial while also high as fuck. I haven't slept a lot. If you admire my multitasking and/or feel sorry for me, pre-order. books2read.com/u/b659wx

Hey Coloradans: one simple thing you can do today is call the director of the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment and ask them to issue a public health order for the Aurora GEO detention facility. To call: 303-692-2000 and press 8, then 7, to leave a message.

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”
