In New York state, there’s no time limit on how far back these companies can do clawbacks. Meaning, they could ask for $30k back from your therapist for a decade of care all in one go, which your therapist is obligated to pay and you then legally owe the therapist. The fuck????

Brian Thompson was an unbelievably violent individual actively causing the suffering and death of millions, and the fact that the system was designed to make that illegible is just one more form of violence!

I thought that, as a chronically ill anarchist, I was already as sympathetic to Luigi as possible, but since I lost my career and started doing clinical social work, relying on these insurance companies for my income as well as my healthcare… bro, I am going to break him out myself.

I for one am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you!!!!!!!!

This is not my surprised face.

Italy seizes $232m in Mafia assets tied to Cosa Nostra https://aje.news/0929ks

When you don't remember this (as i often don't) edmund just seems like a dick. When you do remember it, he seems like a sad scared kid being manipulated while living in a time of hardship and lowkey terror he can't really comprehend. Which he was.

And that’s before we get to debates on social media (ha!) where folks defend the ridiculous & short sighted things said by Stephen A, Kanye & Chappelle but refuse to engage with experts in the fields under discussion. Lots of things led us to this moment.

But all of this is complicated. HBCUs have become about offering a pathway into the middle class and not about producing leaders. The Black church has far more prosperity proponents than spiritual warriors. And principled artists & athletes no longer reach the heights of M. Ali or S. Wonder.

Aside from the Montgomery Bus Boycott, most of the actions during the CRM were done by a handful of people. Like 10% or less of a given community. Most people just want to get along and not struggle. The debates today reflect that!

I don't think I realized even at the time that the little kid in the enclosure with Harambe was Black, NOW it all makes sense.

I didn’t know the full story behind the Harambe meme until reading this thread

"now we re all equally incompetent!" Yayyy

I feel like that's why they keep forcing it on young ppl. It's like forcing incompetence as enmeshment.

Who’s next?! (I really fucking hate these accounts)

I really dislike how all of my favorite people on the skyline (mostly Black women) eventually get run off by White people being interlopers and/or men being predators The “and/or” is doing some heavy lifting here because it’s usually BOTH

Polluting Black neighborhoods is a natsec imperative. 🫡

It’s May 2026. France finally repealed the Code Noir - the laws that codified slavery. It stopped being in effect in 1848 but had never been officially removed… Now, pay back Haiti.

Never mind the anecdotes, I found an actual article: www.theguardian.com/world/2008/j...

Oh sure! But this is all anecdotal. Long ago in the wild days of the 90s and 00s, some staffers in the service industry would refer to Black people as Canadians to say things like "Canadians don't tip" or "I can't stand waiting on Canadians."

"close Delaney Hall and free every person in there" is the demand, so direct that (in my experience) some people may miss it rather than accept it

Anyway this one made a splash too:

I might have to skip tonight's AEW 😭 I've managed to go to a Philly AEW show since I've moved here, but I had to skip tonight's show bc of my hysterectomy, I wasn't sure I'd be up to dealing with everything. And it was a good choice because I'm wiped but damn if I coulda!!!!!!

I cleared my initial $200 goal (thank you all, SO MUCH), but I’m gonna leave this request up for the time being, because I’m still waiting on $500 in unpaid booking invoices. Clients are stalling, but I still have bills to pay. Anyone who donates $50+ can get a custom song! 🎸🥁🎹🎤❤️ #HelpFolksLive2026

Aight goodnight it's my bed time 😭

"Among the U.S. companies currently included in the index holdings are Meta, Amazon, Tesla and JPMorgan Chase." (per the National Catholic Reporter)

All white folks do is dominate & try to own Black folks. That’s the real thing that drives them so deeply they can’t let go of. Who are you if you don’t have to see a Black person as someone to dominate? What’s left of you? I imagine if you can get past it, it will free some of your human potential.

Tamitha Dill worries her house could be in danger every time it rains. Her Jackson neighborhood is highly susceptible to flooding from the nearby Pearl River and its tributaries, and she had to evacuate in 2020. She also worries that a new federal flood-control plan won't solve the problem.

How y’all gonna fix anything in this world being nice to racists, white folks. Y’all disgust me. Pats on the back for racists. There there, don’t cry racist. Your allyship is with them, you identify with them by your shared whiteness. Ain’t doing the first thing for change smiling in racists’ faces.
