Las Vegas, NV
I’ve had migraines my whole life. At 43, after my insurance repeatedly denied requests for MRIs, a venous cavernoma burst in my left temporal lobe (like an aneurysm). I was in a coma for three days—doctors weren’t sure I’d wake up. When I did, I wasn’t the same. I was lucky to be alive, even luckier to be able to speak, and even more fortunate to speak correctly. A scar was left on my left temporal lobe, and now I live with epilepsy and behavioral changes. The biggest change? Now I’m always truthful, and a lot of people don’t appreciate 100% honesty in their answers, replies, and questions.
If I’d had an MRI before all this, I wouldn’t spend six hours every few months in an MRI machine. My sister is now battling her insurance for an MRI, as she’s dealing with the same migraines.

You’d think that after her sister dropping dead in the bathroom and miraculously coming back, they’d approve the MRI right away. But no—it’s like they’re just waiting to see if death can stick to one of us. I’ll be paying out of pocket for her MRI because I want her here next Christmas, without worrying that it could have been prevented.
I’m a completely different person now, and not all of it is for the better. I left my husband and moved back home. The transition from who I was to who I am now has been an uphill battle since waking up. Sometimes, I wish I had died that day, and in a way, parts of me did. I lost 10% of my brain—the burst liquified it. I don’t panic anymore; the fight-or-flight response is just fight now. It’s wildly unhealthy, so I avoid people to keep from getting aggravated. Sometimes, I even have to stop myself from dragging them face-first across my front lawn.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we look to those who have been with us in this fight and to those ready to join us. Together, we can build a healthy Black future, free from manufactured consent and unjust laws designed to suppress the people's uprising. #Generalstrikeus

You are not immune to the collapse of civilization and decency, nor will you be spared from the cruelty to come. Until we stand together against oppression—even when it doesn’t affect you—you will be left watching it unfold on your screen until it reaches your doorstep.

Since 1994, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have considered it politically risky to offer a plan to fix America's broken health care system. The American public, though, has paid the price for this silence as health care costs skyrocketed, millions went uninsured-

The most vulnerable groups of people in the world are children & people with disabilities. These two factions are simultaneously disregarded and egregiously exploited, subjected to systemic mistreatment at every stage of life. This begins with senseless school tardiness and absence policies that-1/6

Our outrage must be as powerful and relentless as the oppression we have endured—an energy transformed from indifference and apathy into radical empathy and community-driven action. Together, we must bear the collective responsibility to rise against an administration that sacrifices America’s most-

As the holiday season comes to a close, it’s essential to stay focused on supporting our community, staying involved, and remaining active. No one is immune to the harsh realities of a country that often seems content to watch its people struggle.
