Go to UNRWA's website. It's a one-stop shop for data & stark insight. UNRWA is the single biggest provider of heath care & education in Gaza, the W Bank, & E Jerusalem, & one of the biggest employers. They used to be the biggest provider of food aid until Israel cut them off. Donate if you can.

It's unfortunate the way Oasis has set up their whole 2027 tour thing of "register and you might get a code for tickets when they go on sale!" It's also unfortunate how I'm going to complain about it yet still register and hope 🙄

Providing for people’s basic needs works and it’s really not that hard. Almost like we’ve seen this exact result a thousand times before.
A Michigan program gave families $1,500 during pregnancy and $500 a month through a baby’s first year.
The result: Healthier babies and healthier moms.

I’m a pediatrician in Michigan who created Rx Kids, one of the nation’s largest anti-poverty programs – here’s what I’ve learned about how medical schools can improve community health
More than 15,000 families in Michigan have received cash support from Rx Kids. Participants say the program helps them pay bills and maintain their health.

Everyone doing this just needs to understand that they are actively skipping the thinking step
All I’m saying is that I can source info faster using an LLM than manually. Evaluating sources, putting together a bibliography, ensuring accuracy, none of that changes. It’s using the technology to automate the grunt work.

I know a lot of people are really eager to section off ICE and Border Patrol as uniquely pernicious forms of law enforcement but it’s simply impossible to disentangle what we’re seeing from ICE with policing in any honest way.
Making immigration arrests wasn’t always part of a state trooper’s responsibilities.
But the Oklahoma Highway Patrol has trained all of its troopers to help identify unauthorized immigrants while conducting traffic stops and truck inspections.

ICE is relying on local officers to help make arrests. The Washington Post observed Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers detain unauthorized immigrants.

I live way out there in the country, not a ton of neighbors but I put up a little free library anyway and it's turning out to be a happening place. Unexpected and I am unreasonably pleased.

You don't have a right to safe drinking water, a US court just ruled. A Trump-appointed judge also said Americans have no “constitutional right to truthful information” during a public health crisis.

“This super intuitive helpful software that has to be taught in every grade and level of education or else you’ll never be able to use it and be poor forever.”
Many educators are trying to make AI simply go away—but in doing so, they are abdicating a sacred commitment that has guided American higher education for centuries, the president of Dartmouth College, Sian Leah Beilock, argues.
Don’t Ban AI on Campus
Universities that hide from the technology will merely secure their irrelevance.

I am yet again getting on my soapbox to tell y’all about how my previous job (public library) received a grant once to keep branches in some neighborhoods open until midnight on Fri and Sat. The neighborhoods were picked specifically because of higher crime rates and lack of support services (1/ )

If you hate the party, spend your days attacking it, and have contempt for the people who make it possible, then see above.
