Hi, I’m working on 3 lists for Congolese, Palestinian and Sudanese families looking to raise funds. You can find them in my profile.
Suggestions are appreciated!

I had an exchange (in my terrible Spanish) with Andry José Hernández Romero, the gay Venezuelan asylum seeker sent, without due process, to an El Salvadoran prison by the US. I told him that I posted a photo of him on here each day he was in captivity & he responded. He said I could share. ❤️
[my clunky translation] MJM: This sounds silly, but I posted a photo of you every day when you were in captivity in El Salvador. Over 500,000 people liked the posts. We all think of you. ANDRY: The love and beauty of the American people is immense. MJM: Well, you’re pretty amazing, Andry. ANDRY: & still a lot of work to do but my goal is to say thank you, in front of all of you, in the United States.

I've seen organizers saying three short whistles when you see ICE and people need to be alert; long whistles when they're taking someone and a crowd needs to gather.

Alice was the first person to ever encourage my creative writing. She was a thoughtful editor and a beloved mentor. I learned so much about activism just by watching her move through the world. May her memory be a blessing to us all.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group. Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier. “I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”

Lots of questions about the upcoming influenza season. I answer what I know over here. It is doubly important to get a flu shot this year (and your COVID shot too!!).
Sabina Vohra-Miller Let's Talk Flu Influenza 2025 - what you need to know New strain H3N2 is one of the strains that is included each year in the flu shot. However, this year we have seen a very rapidly spreading evolved version, with seven mutations. Early estimates suggest that the flu shot might not be a good match. In general, H3N2 tends to cause more severe disease, hospitalizations and deaths particularly in the elderly and the very young. Early start Typically flu season tends to ramp up in December and peaks in January/February. However, we are seeing an early start in many countries in Europe and Asia. In Canada, while we are still under the 5% positivity threshold, we did see a doubling in percent positivity from last week - cases are increasing rapidly. Anticipating high number of cases Due to the mutations and the early start, we are likely going to see yet another year of record cases and subsequently hospitalizations and deaths. The southern hemisphere also had two back-to-back brutal influenza seasons. We are also anticipating similar impacts in Canada and the US. Still important to get a flu shot While the flu shot may not be a perfect match, it will still provide some benefits particularly in preventing severe illness. New data published by the UK HSA this week shows the 2025-2026 vaccine is 70-75% effective at preventing hospital visits in children and 30-40% effective in adults. Other ways to protect yourself This would be a good time to begin masking in indoor spaces. Also, extra precautions to protect elderly, children, immunocompromised and pregnant people.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

So I try not to give too many gory details about life with long covid, but I also think it’s important to give a clear picture of what can happen to anyone.

Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.
