This time a year ago, I was staying my first night in the hospital, having just been admitted late that night. In the year since, my glucose went from 296 in the ER to 60’s-80’s now. My A1C went from 9 to 5. I haven’t weighed in since early March, but I’m down at least 115lbs.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

Sigh....

Be like @hasanthehun and donate to our campaign before our end of quarter FEC deadline tonight. I’m running to pass: Medicare for All Abolish ICE End the genocide End forever wars

Hasan Piker (@HasanTheHun) recently returned from an aid mission to Cuba. This is what he witnessed:

Hasan reacts to Jake Tapper CNN panel discussing him

This is a picture of an Israeli terrorist celebrating a new apartheid law that will apply the death penalty to only Palestinians. Every execution would be funded by our taxpayer dollars and enabled by politicians who answer to AIPAC instead of the American people. Tell every member of Congress not to send another penny to Israel: bit.ly/Israel-death-p…

Hasan Piker is a gift to this world, pushing for a politics of empathy and logic. Cory Booker on the otherhand is a coward who is complicit in genocide.

Nobody can afford anything in America and this is what the national media chooses to focus on, and then media elites somehow wonder why nobody watches cable TV news anymore

Being this bigoted is actually an act of severe weakness and cowardice. Nothing makes you weaker than being afraid of people because they’re different. It’s pathetic

To celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility (Tuesday 31st March), here’s a clip from 1967 which shows a young trans woman called Vicky showing us a day in her life. The remarkable glimpse into pre-Stonewall trans life in New York serves as a reminder that trans people have always existed and will always exist.

🔴 Gaza: 5 killed in Israeli strikes in Khan Younis and Rafah, children among victims ➤ Two Palestinians were killed and others, including children, were injured in an Israeli strike in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Those killed included a father and his child, Mahmoud and Yahya al-Byok, according to journalist Mosab Abu Toha. ➤ A separate strike in Mawasi Rafah killed three more people and wounded nine others. 🎥 Children injured at hospital after strike

Respect to Elex for having Hasan on. Probably took some flack from moronic corporate media insiders for this decision but it was the journalistically correct one

The Jewish History Stolen By Zionists w/ Molly Crabapple | MR Live youtube.com/live/uOW2EPuIH…

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

The reason the Dem establishment is trying to cancel @hasanthehun is they know their voters agree with him on major issues. And if Hasan continues to gain prominence, their populist ideas will become more and more powerful in American discourse. And that terrifies them.

There is an organized effort to stop Hasan Piker and despite the accusations of antisemitism there is one thing missing: evidence. Much of the criticism comes from the conservative wing of the Democratic Party, including AIPAC money recipients and other Pro-Israel donors and lobbyists, which is not surprising given Piker’s outspoken criticism of the apartheid state of Israel. The real reason Hasan is being smeared is the same reason the Democratic Party is struggling: Piker connects with young people and left-leaning audiences in a way the party has failed to do. Instead, Democrats have spent heavily on influencers who are uncharismatic, inauthentic, and speak nothing about policies. Just vibes, sound familiar? They are trying to copy the right-wing media ecosystem without understanding that those creators grew organically by challenging power, not defending it. Manufactured influencers who simply repeat party messaging do not resonate and no amount of funding will convince anyone otherwise. Most of the audience that will listen to the Piker smears on mainstream media are boomers like my 83-year-old boyfriend’s dad who asked me about Hasan. He looked him up and is now watching him. As per usual Democratic party strategist are miscalculating because the smears only activated every single one of Piker’s 3 million followers and they are pushing back harder. In the end, the true winner of all this discourse will be Hasan. Don’t be surprised if his audience grows after all of this. At a time when the Israeli government has made it legal to hang Palestinians, establishment liberal media (mostly Zionists) think it’s a good idea to attack a relatable figure who understands the base.

@daviddoel @toronai22 This just makes me sad, honestly

@toronai22 9.6k views in 2h for a drama video from a channel with over 6M subs is pretty terrible

Slowly morphing into Donald Trump…

i’m getting the impression multiple people in the CNN building don’t fw jake tapper by airing this an hour after his show

CNN panel flips out when Emma mentions the genocide in Gaza youtu.be/cP2KNTWu5aA

I asked you on that debate stage why Israel killed 15 members of the Al Dos family in their home, including 7 children, in Oct 2023, without warning and without any explanation since. You refused to answer the question that night. Can you answer it now?
