Haaland does what I do when I play FIFA. I press pass rather than shoot by accident.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

I, like many others, rely on these reports & categories to convince Homeland Security of specific country conditions for asylum claims. Without these categories, the State Dept *disappears* these forms of discrimination & impairs the asylum process. It's the point. And it is evil. Not merely unjust.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I've been going to my local Latinx grocery store & handing out red cards, & explaining immigrant rights. The grocery store was thrilled to have me, and everyone so appreciative. We can all do this (and perhaps drum up longer term support for Dems in the process).

I spent the day at Latinx mini-mercados, laundries, and grocery stores handing out red cards abt immigrant rights (& what to do if agents show up). The appreciation was so intense and palpable. May sound self congratulatory, but it was by far the best way to get over this awful what-do-we do-slump.

In my case, I was lucky I wasn't super severe (many just can't handle any travel, either by car or plane) so I traveled back and forth between 8 different doctors across multiple states. If this had been in place, I could have done it all in one place.

In a normal, reclined MRI, it wasn't obvious that my spinal stenosis was causing the kind of severe compression that could lead to all my ANS symptoms, but it became obvious on an upright MRI.

This is BIG news for folx w connective tissue disorders/EDS. When I was most sick & realized there was a link to spinal instability, I needed an upright MRI to get (1) a surgeon onboard (2) insurance coverage of spinal surgery, (3) disability/medical leave/tenure extension. #MECFS #pots #disability
