It’s patently obvious that by obliterating the Voting Rights Act the Supreme Court unduly restricted the electoral power of Black citizens But since SCOTUS allowed partisan gerrymandering, that also means millions of Americans-in each party-will be disenfranchised Just an unmitigated disaster

I am tired of the Keith Porter erasure. He was shot by an "off duty" ICE agent outside his home on New Year's Eve. Just because there aren't videos of his death circulating, it doesn't mean that his story deserves any less attention. There are countless others who don't get coverage.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

A photo of an footnote from A Spring That Did Not Blossom by Nejmeh Khalil Habib, translated by Samar Habib. Text reads: "The Israeli bombing of the Sanayeh building made history as the first time the US-designed-and-made thermobaric bomb was used on civilians. The 1983 Report of the International Commission to Enquire into Reported Violation of International Law by Israel During Its Invasion of the Lebanon indicated that over 250 civilians lost their lives in the bombing. August 6, 1982, also marked the thirty-seventh anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima."
