They erased us from the textbooks. I’m putting us back in the story.

They buried our truth and hoped we’d stay silent.

ERASED isn’t a book—it’s a weapon.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Before Obamacare, being a woman was a pre-existing condition, including coverage denial for domestic violence, contraception, pregnancy, and certain cancers. You could be charged more for insurance premiums just for being female. It was called a 'gender rating'.

🔥🔥🔥 UBER’S HEARTLESS CRUELTY

Uber & @ubereats.bsky.social told me tonight after my friend’s mom’s funeral: “Refund denied — regardless of a death in the family.”

This isn’t customer service.
It’s cruelty for profit. 🔥

The government wants to bring back private finance in our NHS. 🤬

This would harm patients by siphoning off hundreds of millions of pounds in profits from our NHS. 🤑

Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting, you can still drop these disastrous and unpopular plans. Share if you agree.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."

Really meant,
