My blood. My family. My identity. A culture rooted in family, hospitality, olive trees, dabke, humus and resilience. During constant diaspora, the retention of a common shared identity among HUMAN BEINGS.

Couldn’t be more proud of you. I’m so lucky to be racing with you. You’re an inspiration to the diabetic community and us all. #TAR38

Senate Democrats caving… if only they had channeled that same fighting spirit that refused to endorse some of their own most influential candidates last Tuesday.

🚨 BREAKING: Mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani includes campaigning to overlooked communities in their native language (English subtitles included). Sources worry that despite 99.9% of the campaign being in English, some still recovering from exposure to multilingualism.

This Superman challenges power & redefines heroism. That’s causing discomfort. It’s not controversy, it’s EMPATHY. He values all life, from aliens to squirrels. No real-world politics are named, but the villains reflect greed, imperialism & oppression. If the shoe fits, WEAR IT.

Congrats Ms. Rachel! We need to keep normalizing the spotlighting of decent people and recalibrate from amplifying bigots.
Six years ago, Rachel Accurso was a stay-at-home mom with a baby on her hip and an iPhone camera, posting singsong videos to YouTube to help her son through a speech delay. Now, Ms. Rachel is a household name. She’s not just a streamer, she’s a cultural flashpoint—and a Glamour

Please watch this Ms. Rachel video - yes the stories of rejection are heartbreaking and enraging, but for me, the saddest part was Ms Rachel hiding the identity of the wonderful and welcoming business to spare them the backlash for…hosting a double amputee Palestinian toddler.
Ms Rachel explains how hard it was to find a space that would welcome 3-year-old Rahaf, because she’s Palestinian. “The person who owns the place was basically saying, because this little girl is like you, she’s not welcome here”

The U.S. government has now been shut down for 22 days, making it the second-longest shutdown in history. The longest shutdown lasted 35 days, from December 2018 to January 2019, during Donald Trump’s first term.

@JosephAbdin ❤️🩹 and it’s still happening today. Managing diabetes needs to stop being treated like a luxury. It makes everyday life, let alone traveling, risky, stressful, and expensive. How are people supposed to vacation or visit family? Shoutout to California!!

Growing up we watched our uncle slowly die because he couldn’t afford insulin, let alone test strips. Adam would share and ration his supplies with him. Getting Adam ready with enough medicine for the Race cost more than most realize. This is what tax dollars should be spent on.
California will start selling low-cost insulin in January, becoming the first state to bypass Big Pharma with its own supply of the expensive drug.
